Suri Cruise has rejected her controversial father’s name. And honestly, can you blame her? Now that Suri Cruise is 18 years old, her widely reported estrangement from Tom Cruise is starting to feel a lot more “real.” Especially now that Suri’s name is showing up without “Cruise” in its wake. And, curiously, without “Holmes,” either.

Magazine, Suri Cruise appeared by the name “Suri Noelle” in the playbill of her school’s production of Head Over Heels, The Go-Go’s jukebox musical. Stage names are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. However, teenagers usually appear in playbills by their given names unless they have adopted a new one. In this case, “Noelle” is Katie Holmes’ middle name. So even though she didn’t list herself as Suri Holmes, she used part of her mother’s name … and none of her father’s.

She has lived most of her life in her mother’s custody. Despite the odd report of Tom Cruise wanting time with Suri (which may very well be true), the public perception remains that he has not seen her in over a decade.

(Photo Credit: Manny Carabel/Getty Images) Suri Cruise has grown up at Katie Holmes’ daughter Katie and Tom’s divorce documents included an agreement for him to pay $400,000 per year until Suri turned 18, along with all of their daughter’s expenses. Reportedly, these expenses included medical, dental, insurance, education (including college), and more. However, it seems likely that Suri’s name on the playbill has a less personal motive than excising her controversial father.

(Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Suri’s mother, Katie Holmes, has been famous since the 1990s. And Suri’s father, Tom Cruise, has been a world-famous movie star for decades — and has spent the past couple of decades as a polarizing, even divisive figure due to his association with Scientology. For this reason, it seems likely that Suri would prefer to simply appear to classmates (and their families) as “Suri Noelle” when it comes to printing her name on a playbill. Every scion of fame (or infamy) has to navigate the treacherous waters of being born as a celebrity. Some become nepo babies, others do their best to fade into obscurity. Suri’s clearly hoping to gain recognition on her own terms. Katie Holmes attends Camp Pride presented by alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet on June 14, 2023.

The Sun recently got a hold of photos of Suri and Katie walking around New York, seeming to have a serious conversation. That said … smiling as you walk down the street is less common in New York City than it is in most of the country. Is it possible that the mother and daughter were having a tense conversation? Sure. It’s also possible that they were talking about what they want for dinner while navigating New York pedestrian traffic. Which sounds more likely?

Jennifer Lopez has lived through 3 divorces in her lifetime – and she may be poised for her 4th. The rumor mill is churning at full speed, suggesting that J. Lo and Ben Affleck are headed for splitsville after finally making it down the aisle. Some say it’s rubbish, while others point out they haven’t been seen together in over a month – which for two people who are constantly all over each other, isn’t a good sign. But as we said, Jennifer has been in this situation before. She knows what to look out for when a divorce is on the horizon. So, let’s look at those relationships as well as piece together the latest on her and Ben. Ben Affleck arrives for the premiere of “The Mother” at the Westwood Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles, on May 10, 2023 with wife Jennifer Lopez. (Photo by MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) Jennifer Lopez Divorced: Her 3 Failed Marriages Before Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez believes in love. Or at least, she believes love is worth fighting for. Perhaps that’s why, despite her marriage history, J.Lo has continually tried to make romance work in her life. Jenny from the Block met her first husband, Ojani Noa, while he was a waiter in Miami. They wed in 1997 before divorcing in January 1998, after 11 months of marriage. Not a long marriage, but as far as anyone knows, it ended amicably enough. After famously dating Sean “Diddy” Combs (bullet dodged!), she married the second time in 2001. Cris Judd was a choreographer and dancer on the set of her “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” music video, which he directed. The two married in September 2001 and filed for divorce just nine months later, in July 2002. That’s when Jennifer got serious with Ben Affleck the first time. They were together for two years and even were engaged to be married. Never forget the 6.1-carat pink diamond from Harry Winston! But just a few short days before the wedding, they called it off and a few weeks later, Bennifer is donezo. Marc Anthony and J.Lo arrive at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at Kodak Theatre on March 7, 2010 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Jennifer’s Last Divorce: Why Things Ended With Marc Anthony Mere months after ending her first engagement to Ben, Jennifer married Marc Anthony in a secret ceremony in June 2004. The pair had been friends for years, running in the same musical circles. After two divorces and ruined engagement, Jennifer was ready to make this marriage work, and it did for a long time. The couple stayed married for 8 years and had two kids together, twins Max and Emme, But by 2011, the pair called it quits. The reason has remained a mystery, as it seemed as they were still good friends following the divorce. There were those who read into the subtext of her movie This Is Me … Now and thought their relationship was more volatile behind the scenes than anyone knew. But that has never been confirmed.

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Don’t Forget A.Rod After her divorce from Marc, Jennifer wasn’t single for long. She dated backup dancer Casper Smart and there were even rumors of her dating Drake! But the most serious relationship she had after her last divorce as with baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez. The couple were together for 4 years, sharing everything from red carpet moments to vacations with their kids. They announced their engagement in 2019, but plans for their wedding were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Then, in April 2021, they announced their breakup, after rumors Alex had cheated on Jennifer with a reality star. At the time, a source tole E! News that Jennifer was the one to call it quits. “After months of questioning things and fighting, Jennifer felt like she could no longer trust Alex anymore,” the insider said. The early years!

((Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)) Bennifer Back On After Jennifer’s split from A.Rod, something miraculous happened. After 20 years apart, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck found their way back to each other! The two tied the knot in a secret Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. They then celebrated the nuptials with a second, more extravagant wedding in Georgia the following month. Since then, the pair have been inseparable, attending every red carpet together, and even putting out a film about their love story, This Is Me … Now. The film, along with the album Jennifer put out, was pulled quite literally from love letters Ben had written Jen over the years. It seemed like Hollywood’s favorite couple was ready for forever. Until… Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend the red carpet of the movie “The Last Duel” during the 78th Venice International Film Festival on September 10, 2021 in Venice, Italy. (Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez’s Marriage Over? Jennifer Lopez divorced three men and had three failed engagements. The world hoped that reuniting with Ben Affleck would be the end of her marriage history. But by the start of spring 2024, rumors started to circulate that there was trouble in paradise. After less than two years of marriage, Bennifer reportedly are headed for a split, as “they just couldn’t make it work,” a source told In Touch in May. The rumor was further fueled by the fact that the pair hadn’t been photographed together for nearly two months. However, in solo shots, both were still wearing their wedding rings. The reports claimed Ben moved out of the couple’s $60 million home, while Jennifer was photographed house hunting in Beverly Hills without him. “He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” the insider added. “Ben already moved out and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.” Still, there are others in the couple’s inner circle who insist divorce is not on the table. “Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage,” the source told Us Weekly, before insisting that the couple have no plans to break up anytime soon. Well, no one really plans it, do they. But we’re keeping the faith. These two can make it – we hope!

On Thursday night, Jersey Shore took a break from its typical focus on drinking, partying and/or any sort of drama between cast members. Why? Because one cast member in particular is in mourning at the moment. Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio visits The Empire State Building on August 3, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images for Empire State Realty Trust) To close the May 16 installment of this beloved franchise, the following message popped up on screen: “In loving memory. Paul DelVecchio Sr. May 7, 1952 – May 4, 2024.” No other information was provided by producers at the time on the show itself… but we’ve uncovered an obituary for Paul D. DelVecchio Sr. that states he was 71 years old when he died. It says that Pauly D’s father “passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 4, 2024.” Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio attends MTV’s Jersey Shore Family Vacation NYC Premiere Party at Hard Rock Hotel New York on August 2, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Santiago Felipe/Getty Images for MTV) The aforementioned obituary looked back on DelVecchio’s life as a business owner. He ran P. DelVecchio Remodeling “for many years before he retired,” according to the tribute, which continued: “Carpentry wasn’t just a job for him, it was his passion. “He was a “Jack of all trades.” He could build or fix anything. He loved his family and being in nature. He was a devoted father and grandfather. He loved walking and spending time at the ocean. “His favorite pastime was playing the slots at the local casino and he never refused a good family card game. He was a man of many talents. He had a beautiful singing voice and could draw anything.” Pauly D performs at the grand opening of the Sugar Factory at Mall of America on November 22, 2019 in Bloomington, Minnesota. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images for Sugar Factory) Pauly D was pretty close to his dad, who appeared on a 2012 episode of The Pauly D Project. “My dad had a stroke, so I’m scared to leave him,” Pauly said during an episode back then, referencing his move from Rhode Island to Las Vegas. “One thing about my family [is] they don’t ask for help. They never tell you they’re hurt.” Paul Sr. chimed in on that episode, assuring son that he’ll be “alright” and joking that he couldn’t come out and watch Pauly’s DJ gigs because he’ll “get a headache.” In a confessional, Pauly added: “If I get this gig and have to move to Vegas, it’s going to be really hard. I want to be close to my father. But I need to be out west. That’s where the opportunities are.” The obituary, meanwhile, noted that Paul Sr. was survived by Pauly D; daughter Vanessa DelVecchio-Lindimore; as well as a brother, Dennis DelVecchio; he also had four grandchildren. May Paul DelVecchio rest in peace. Pauly D’s Father Passes Away; Jersey Shore Pays Tribute to Paul DelVecchio was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Rumors of a Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez divorce are everywhere these days. Affleck and Lopez got married in 2022, about 19 years after they first got engaged. The A-listers married other people and started families but found their way back to one another in what seemed to be one of Hollywood’s great second-chance love stories. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck kiss as they attend Amazon’s “This is Me… Now: A Love Story” premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, February 13, 2024. (Photo by ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) Now, however, there are reports of trouble in paradise. Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez Divorce: Is It Really Happening? Multiple sources have reported that Ben and Jen are living separately amid mounting marital woes. But one insider insists that the situation is not as dire as it seems. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attend the Los Angeles premiere of Warner Bros. “The Flash” at Ovation Hollywood on June 12, 2023 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images) “Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage,” the source tells Us Weekly. “They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.” The source adds that the issues largely stem from Jen’s workaholic approach to her career. Is Jen Choosing Her Career Over Her Marriage? Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend ELLE’s Women In Hollywood Celebration at Nya Studios on December 05, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) “Jen is very focused on work,” says the insider. “They are on two completely different pages most of the time.” A second source confirms to Us that Ben is living in a house “that is separate from the couple’s usual home.” As others have pointed out, however, Ben and Jen own several investment properties. So he’s probably staying in a home that they both own.

(Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images) The stars have not been photographed together in several weeks. And Affleck attended the recent Tom Brady roast on his own. Ben and Jen have both endured high-profile divorces in the past. And we’re sure the last that either of them wants is to go through all of that again. “I fell in love with the love of my life [earlier in life] and for whatever reasons, we needed to grow and do other things,” Jen said during a February appearance on Australia’s Kyle & Jackie O Show.

(Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for ELLE) “We both went off and had children with other people and other relationships, but you know, in my mind, I kind of had it like, ‘Oh, that was kind of The One.’” The insider sounds confident that Ben and Jen are trying to work things out. But it seems clear that these two are experiencing some serious relationship troubles at the moment.

Jenelle Evans had her (latest) day in court on May 16. The reality star — who has officially booked her return to the Teen Mom franchise — was granted a six-month restraining order on Thursday against her estranged husband, David Eason. The legal document makes it illegal over that time period for Eason to contact Evans … to be on her property in North Carolina… and from talking about Jenelle at all on social media. Jenelle Evans is seen at GBK’s New York Fashion Week Style Lounge 2015 – Day 2 on September 15, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by John Parra/Getty Images for GBK Productions) According to our friends at The Ashley’s Realty Roundup, both spouses took to the stand at this hearing. “David accused her of being a drug addict, and said that Jenelle has taken Xanax the whole time they’ve been together,” a source told this website. “Jenelle rebutted the claim that she’s a drug addict, and said she was prescribed Xanax and has been taking it for the last three years to help with her esophagus spasms. “She told the judge that if she gets nervous or anxious, it will flare up her esophagus spasms and she will throw up.” David Eason, Ensley Eason and Jenelle Eason attend the Cosmopolitan NYFW fashion show during New York Fashion Week at Tribeca 360 on February 8, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) Evans filed to separate from Eason in February, stating at the time that her estranged husband was a drunk and a deadbeat dad. The couple is parents to a young daughter named Ensley, while David has a teenage daughter from a previous relationship and Jenelle has a son named Kaiser with ex-Nathan Griffith and a son named Jace with ex Andrew Lewis. Eason was previously charged with a felony for allegedly strangling Jace. “On or about September 28 of 2023, a report was made to medical professionals by plaintiff’s oldest minor child,” Jenelle wrote in her separation filing, adding that the sheriff’s office investigated the allegations and David was “subsequently charged with misdemeanor child abuse and felony assault by strangulation.” Jenelle Evans is seen here on an episode of Teen Mom 2. (MTV) As for why a judge affirmed an order of protection at this hearing on Thursday, the aforementioned insider told The Ashley: “The reason it was granted basically was that the amount of times David texted or talked about Jenelle could count as harassment. “The judge granted it on the fact that Jenelle’s lawyer specifically claimed it was harassment, because David constantly talks about her, whether it’s in texts or social media or whatever. “The restraining order was basically because they proved David was ‘harassing’ Jenelle.” Indeed, Eason recently said Evans was a thief and a cheater.

(Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images for MTV) Evans will need to re-file for another restraining order at these six months are up. If Eason breaks the current one, he’ll be arrested and subjected to 48 hours in jail. “He has some dark secrets no one knows but me,” Evans told people on the Internet in late April, saying she wasn’t permitted to say much more at the time due to an ongoing investigation… but adding in cryptic fashion that IF she did spill any of this tea: “I’m scared and feel like my life would be on the line.” Jenelle Evans Granted Restraining Order Against Violent, Bigoted Husband was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Jessa Duggar is here to defend her mother. Yes, folks. THAT mother. Earlier this month, the Counting On alum honored Michelle Duggar by writing the following on Facebook: Feeling blessed beyond measure this Mother’s Day! So thankful for the beautiful examples of motherhood in my own mother and mother-in-law. Jessa Duggar is featured here in a clip from TLC. (TLC) It didn’t take long after Jessa shared these words for a handful of users to stop, read them and wonder: WTF?!? “Didn’t your mom harbor a child molester?” one person wrote, for example. “Not exactly a shining example.” This is a pointed reference to Josh Duggar, who molested his sisters when he was a teenager (and whose parents helped to cover up the crime) and who is now behind federal bars after being convicted of child pornography possession. Another individual, meanwhile, labeled Michelle Duggar as a “baby machine, not a mother,” citing the many kids to whom she gave birth (19!!!!) and the clear belief held by Jim Bob Duggar that women are meant to procreate and… that’s about it. Jessa Duggar poses with Ben Seewald and their first child on Counting On. (TLC) Jessa, who welcomed her fifth child in December, eventually jumped in after yet another critic said her mother was “terrible,” replying to this remark as follows: “I beg to differ. She is the godliest woman I know. I’ve never met a more patient, gentle or genuinely loving human being.” Jessa also held Michelle up as a role model. She said she can only pray that she’s anywhere near the kind of parent that her mom has been to her and her siblings throughout the years. Jessa Duggar is a mother once again! She shared this photo shortly after giving birth. (Instagram) “I love her more than any other woman I know and I only hope I can be half the mother to my own kids as she was to me,” Jessa wrote online this week. She is entitled to this opinion, of course. But Jessa wasn’t the only member of her family to garner backlash on Mother’s Day. Jana Duggar also had something nice to say about Michelle, which led to some seriously harsh comments from those who have followed the Duggars ever since they burst on to the reality show scene. Jana Duggar finds something funny in this photo. (TLC) “How can she even show her face?” someone wrote about Michelle on Jana’s page. “She covered up what her son did to her daughters, she’s a monster, IMO.” “Happy Mother’s Day to you, Jana, for raising your siblings. Happy Incubator Day to Michelle,” a second person penned. Another also cited the Josh Duggar scandal (the first one, that is; not the one in which he confessed to cheating on his wife; or the one that has landed him in jail) and simply asked: “Didn’t [Michelle] try to cover up sex abuse?” The answer is yes. She did do this. Jesse Duggar: My Mom is Awesome! She’s Godly AF! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Will Princess Beatrice step up for Kate Middleton? She may need to. In the wake of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, things have very clearly changed within the royal firm. The Princess of Wales spent months out of the public eye. Prince William has split his time between being by her side and covering his cancer-stricken father’s royal duties. William cannot cover for his father and wife while holding his own. So, enter Princess Beatrice to the chat. Princess Beatrice, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. and Prince Harry are seen during the Diamond Jubilee, Buckingham Palace Concert June 04, 2012. (Photo Credit: Dave Thompson – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Kate Middleton is focusing on cancer treatment and recovery Early this spring, the Princess of Wales disclosed her cancer diagnosis following months of mysterious seclusion and a shoddy attempt to cover up the news by the royal firm. During her months of absence from the public eye, she has not been able to fulfill her duties as part of the family of expensive national mascots. She needs to spend her time focusing upon cancer treatments and recovery from those treatments. Waving to the public or giving a speech at some sort of charity for knights eaten by dragons (or whatever the Brits need her to do) should be totally out of the question. Catherine, Princess of Wales attends the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on December 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Stephen Pond/Getty Images) According to a new report by The Daily Mail, an inside source close to the royal family believes that King Charles will ask Princess Beatrice to cover some key royal appearances over the 2024 summer. Princess Beatrice (like her sister, Princess Eugenie) is a non-working royal. This means that she is a member of the family, but is not “active” on behalf of the royal firm. Usually. She is the daughter of the disgraced Prince Andrew. Despite her shameful parentage, both she and Princess Eugenie could receive requests by Charles to act as stand-ins for the Princess of Wales. Princess Beatrice arrives in the parade ring at Royal Ascot 2016 at Ascot Racecourse on June 14, 2016. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) What would Princess Beatrice need to do in Kate Middleton’s stead? The Trooping of Colour, a state banquet, Garter Day, the 80th D-Day anniversary, and numerous Buckingham Palace garden parties are all on the calendar for the 2024 summer. Normally, Kate would be making royal appearances at these events. Up until this year, she played her role in many such occasions. However, chemotherapy is exhausting and has numerous side effects. It would be obscene for the royal firm to expect her, or anyone undergoing chemo, to show up for whatever Garter Day is. Or whatever the Trooping of Colour is. (How is Britain a real place?) Catherine, Princess of Wales attends The “Together At Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 08, 2023. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) “I think Beatrice and Eugenie are adding support where they can,” the inside source expressed. “They’ve always been clear they’re non-royal,” the insider added. They are members of the royal family through their loathsome father, but do not normally function as mascots as their cousins do. “But,” the source emphasized, “they’re always there to help fulfill any duties required.” Catherine, Princess Of Wales is seen during the opening of Evelina London’s new children’s day surgery unit on December 5, 2023. (Photo Credit: Ian Vogler – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Princess Beatrice has helped the royal firm before “[Charles] is looking to bring in some fresh blood and he’s looking to Beatrice and Eugenie,” a second insider explained. “He thinks that they’ve grown into very sensible, lovely women who he thinks could be a real asset,” the source dished. The insider then went on to allege: “Charles is listening to his public.” Notably, Princess Beatrice did step up to help the late Elizabeth II during her lengthy reign. It is not unthinkable that she would do so again. Princess Beatrice May Fill In for Kate Middleton Amidst Cancer Treatments was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Hailey Bieber is flaunting her baby bump! Now that Hailey is pregnant despite prior disagreements with Justin Bieber over when to have kids, she’s ready to show off her changing form. Hailey’s pregnant belly is already showing — in person and on social media. The model is also revealing her bizarre food craving … while asking fans to not judge her for the snack. Hailey Bieber attends 2023 Baby2Baby Gala Presented By Paul Mitchell at Pacific Design Center on November 11, 2023. (Photo Credit: Araya Doheny/Getty Images for Baby2Baby) Ready to see the first Hailey Bieber baby bump photos? On Wednesday, May 15, Hailey Bieber took to her Instagram to share baby bump photos. The pregnancy pics, which you can view below, do not shy away from showcasing her bare belly. Hailey has spoken in the past about her eagerness for a brood of Bieber babies. Now, she’s well on her way to making that a reality. At present, Hailey Bieber is around six months pregnant. And her photos make that clear. (Her photos also explain the rumors from earlier this year, and some oddly cropped photos of Hailey’s that some fans took to be hints that she was concealing a baby bump) There is even speculation that Hailey and Justin are expecting twins, though it’s likely that people are simply reading too much into Justin Bieber’s mother’s words.

(Photo Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Is Hailey Bieber pregnant for the right reasons? Some fans are crying out in alarm on social media over Hailey’s pregnancy. Don’t get us wrong, many are happy for her. And some are cracking jokes, expressing surprise that she didn’t wait for Selena Gomez to become pregnant and then copy her. But given the widespread rumors of Bieber marriage problems, is this baby supposed to “fix” the couple’s issues? Hailey Bieber speaks onstage during The Wall Street Journal’s WSJ Tech Live Conference at Montage Laguna Beach on October 24, 2022. (Photo Credit: Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for The Wall Street Journal) However, other fans are pointing out that some of the rumors of marital problems may have been overblown. For one thing … what if Hailey going out without her ring was because her wedding band became uncomfortable? Pregnancy makes numerous changes to the body. Speaking of which … as the placenta hijacks many of Hailey’s body’s functions in order to influence her behavior, she is experiencing some unexpected food cravings. On Wednesday, May 15, Hailey Bieber took to her Instagram Story to confess that she has been craving an unusual treat recently. “Currently my biggest craving,” she wrote in the caption of her story beside the bizarre combo. “Egg salad on top of a pickle with hot sauce. And no, you’re not allowed to judge!!” Even those who enjoy all three ingredients separately might balk at combining them. But for Hailey, it’s exactly what she’s craving. These cravings, prompted by the placenta’s hormonal influences, will help her body construct her precious Bieber baby.

Everyone is talking about Harrison Butker. He’s the Kansas City Chiefs kicker who pissed off your mom, your sister, and every Taylor Swift fan breathing with this controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College. Yet, there are still some who are defending his words. No, not the NFL. Not his teammate, Travis Kelce. It turns out, Whoopi Goldberg is fighting for Harrison’s right to say all these deplorable things. And maybe she has a point? Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs speaks to the media during Kansas City Chiefs media availability ahead of Super Bowl LVIII at Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa on February 08, 2024 in Henderson, Nevada. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) What Did Harrison Butker Say? Before we get into the rebuttal, let’s recap the word vomit Harrison spewed during his speech. The Kansas City Chiefs player made headlines after he shared his sexist and anti-LGBTQIA+ beliefs with a room full of college graduates. Yes, he was speaking at a Catholic school, and yes, he did get an overwhelming positive reaction from the people actually in the room where it happened. Reportedly, he got a standing ovation. However, the global audience who caught his act had a much different reaction, especially the working women. “I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” Harrison said, before lavishing on about how great the Tradwife life is. “How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.” As you can image, his remarks did not sit well with most people, which is why it was a topic on The View. Whoopi Goldberg attends the 2023 Bring Change To Mind Gala at City Winery on October 09, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Whoopi Goldberg Defends Harrison Butker’s Controversial Speech “Listen, I like when people say what they need to say. He’s at a Catholic college, he’s a staunch Catholic, these are his beliefs, and he’s welcome to them,” Whoopi Goldberg began as the panel of The View talked about Harrison’s speech. She was quick to clarify that people do “not have to believe” or “accept” his beliefs, before heeding the warning that they should “respect” them. “We wanna give respect to people whose ideas are different from ours,” she explained. “I’m OK with him saying whatever he says, and the women who were sitting there, if they take his advice, good for them, they’ll be happy. If they don’t, good for them, they’ll be happy in a different way. That’s my attitude,” she said. NFL KICKER SLAMMED FOR CONTROVERSIAL GRAD SPEECH: #TheView co-hosts react to Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's commencement speech where he discussed women's roles in the home, criticized Pres. Biden and called Pride a "deadly sin." https://t.co/cVclFZQU98 pic.twitter.com/O56rT5sC8F — The View (@TheView) May 16, 2024 But Whoopi was quite alone in this feeling, especially when she compared Harrison’s speech to Colin Kaepernick’s activism. Alyssa Farah Griffin had a “huge issue” with him praising the role of a “homemaker” when he also “ignores half of the Bible” which encourages women to be “leaders in the community.” Meanwhile. Joy Behar simply added that the guy needed “a therapist.” Several Other Celebrities Slam His Speech: Don’t Speak For Us! While Whoopi was ready to play devil’s advocate and defend Harrison Butker, other female celebrities pounced on him for his remarks. “Who is [Butker] to tell us?” Jenna Bush Hager quipped when the topic came up on Today. Hoda Kotb agreed, adding, “Don’t speak for us. I think that’s kind of the thing. Stop speaking for women out there.” Maria Shriver went in hard on Harrison, demanding he learn some “dignity and respect” “As a woman who has leaned into my vocation of living a meaningful life inside and outside the home to not only raise good humans but also raise up our country in various ways, I think it’s demeaning to women to imply that their choices outside of wife and motherhood pale in comparison to that of a homemaker,” Maria said in her lengthy statement shared on X. But it was perhaps Maren Morris who put it best on Instagram. For weeks, women have been weighing in on a viral question: Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or with a bear? After listening to listening to this guy’s bigoted nonsense, Maren took to her social media to share her answer. “I choose the bear,” she wrote. Same, Maren. SAME.

John Legend won’t be swiveling around in a big red chair for much longer. It turns out that fan rumors about a shakeup at The Voice after Season 25 were partially true. But it has more to do with coaches cycling in and out of the lineup. John Legend will be leaving his coaching seat when The Voice returns for Season 26 in the autumn of 2024. But why? Why is yet ANOTHER beloved judge abandoning ship? John Legend attends City Year LA’s Spring Break at SoFi Stadium on May 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for City Year LA’s Spring Break) John Legend leaving ‘The Voice’ for Season 26: I’m Too Busy! On Tuesday, May 14, John Legend spoke to Entertainment Tonight about why he’s taking a break from The Voice. “We’ve always got so many things going on,” the musician explained. Legend then teased: “I’ll be doing a lot of shows this summer and traveling overseas this summer.” John Legend’s Tour and the Schedule Conflict That is certainly true! Legend’s tour begins on May 31, and will not wrap until late summer — September 10, 2024. It is very unlikely that he would feasibly be able to film for The Voice, which tapes in advance, and tour at the same time. However, one summer tour doesn’t have to mean that John Legend walks away from the astonishingly successful talent competition for good.

During his interview, John Legend affirmed his intention to return to The Voice. “I’ll be back,” he vowed. Just not for Season 26. “If only I were actually going to take a break!” Legend then joked. Touring is more or less the opposite of taking a break. John Legend’s Journey As a ‘Voice’ Coach Legend joined The Voice as a coahc during Season 16. That was back in 2019. This was a big year for the singer, as he actually won. Maelyn Jarmon was his team member — and also the winner. Since then, however, Legend has had a run of bad luck, with no further wins under his belt. He also took a break from the show in 2023, for Season 23. John Legend performs during Stand Up & Shout: Songs From a Philly High School at the Philadelphia Film Festival at Philadelphia Film Center on October 20, 2023. (Photo Credit: Lisa Lake/Getty Images for HBO) Who will be a coach on ‘The Voice’ for Season 26? The Voice coach Reba McEntire will return for Season 26, and so will Gwen Stefani. Additionally, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé will be joining as newcomers. Dan + Shay, the show’s first coaching duo, and Chance the Rapper will also be taking a break for Season 26. As we have previously reported, the series is big on rotating coaches in an attempt to keep things fresh.

Congratulations are in order for Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff. Maybe. Possibly. It’s not entirely clear at the moment. The former Little People, Big World star announced in November that she was pregnant with her fourth child, doing so via a cute video with her immediate family that included the following caption: “Secrets out… Baby #4 is on the way!! We are so excited to be growing our family again and adding another little grommet to our crew!” Audrey and her husband then confirmed that the former is expecting a girl. The spouses, who left the aforementioned TLC reality show in the summer of 2018, are already parents to three children: Ember, 6, Bode, 4, and Radley, 2. But could they already be parents to a fourth?!? Many Internet users are wondering if this could be the case due to an Instagram post uploaded by Amy Roloff several days ago. In honor of Mother’s Day, Audrey’s mother-in-law shared a handful of photos with her kids, telling followers at the time: Mother’s Day. It’s very special to me because I never thought I’d get to be a Mom. What a title to hold and I took it to heart. I’m a Mom to 4 amazing ‘kids’ and a grandma. You can click through the post above, during which time you can check out the second photo in Amy’s carousel. It features Amy standing in front of Jeremy and Audrey — and, notably to many observers, it does NOT seem to feature any sort of baby bump. Could this simply be the result of an angle? Of the way Audrey is standing? Yes, absolutely. But for real: there does not appear to be any sort of baby bump there. Audrey, of course, is under no obligation to alert the public when she gives birth. She hasn’t posted on her main Instagram page since making her pregnancy announcement in November, which implies that she does want some privacy these days. However, in early May, the former TLC star revealed how she was preparing for the delivery of her fourth child. Via her Instagram Story, Audrey alerted folks to a white birthing pool, which said in her and Jeremy’s living room. “Finally tested blowing up the birth pool and it fits in the corner of our room perfectly!” she wrote by way of explanation. “Also loved this smaller pretty white version because it was pretty but also will fill faster.” During their time on Little People, Big World, Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff showcased the early days of their parenting journey. (Image Credit: TLC) Has Audrey used this item already to welcome her latest daughter? We’ll likely find out fairly soon if so. “I am so pumped to do the girl thing again and for Ember to have her sister she prayed so hard for,” said Audrey in January after revealing the gender of this child. “I’ve always had a pretty strong intuition on the gender with each of my pregnancies and I can’t believe I’ve been right every time!” Audrey Roloff Fans Think She’s Secretly Given Birth To Baby #4 was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Now that season 3 of the hit Netflix series has dropped, there’s a lot of talk about Bridgerton and Francesca’s husband. Oh, you thought this season was all about Polin?! Have a seat! In the new series, Francesca Bridgerton is the newest sibling searching for an eligible suitor. Played by Hannah Dodd, fans were immediately drawn into the new storyline, and drawn to the new star. Here’s what we can tell you about both Hannah AND Francesca Bridgeton’s husband history. Spoiler alert: one woman has TWO husbands, the other has NONE! Netflix’s “Bridgerton” Season 3 cast attend the World Premiere in NYC at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center on May 13, 2024 in New York City. ((Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for Netflix)) Who Does Francesca Marry In ‘Bridgerton’? Here’s your second spoiler alert – we’re about to dive into some plot points for the new season of the show, and the books! So, if you don’t want to know, scroll ahead. For the rest of you … Bridgerton Season 3, Part 1 opens with Francesca meeting a potential love interest, John Sterling. Making her debut for the season, Francesca is looking for the same kind of love her parents once had. With only 4 episodes dropped in Part 1, fans didn’t see that much development. However, if you’ve read the books, you know this chance meeting sets up one of the biggest twists in the Bridgerton franchise. Francesca’s love story is the focus of author Julia Quinn’s sixth Bridgerton novel, “When He Was Wicked“. As it turns out, Francesca does marry John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin. But their love story is shortlived. John suddenly and tragically dies, leaving Francesca a widow just like her mother. However, while mourning the loss of her husband, Francesca finds comfort in John’s cousin, Michael Stirling. The majority of the book explores the complexity of the pair starting their own romance after John’s death. Eventually, all works out and the pair get married.

((Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Netflix)) Is Hannah Dodd, Who Plays Francesca, Married? Hannah is a new face to the hit franchise. She’s taking over the role of Francesca from Ruby Stokes, who played her in the first two seasons. You’ve likely seen her before in blockbusters Eternals and Enola Holmes 2. What you haven’t seen is a ring on her finger. Hannah Dodd is not married, and at present, it’s bit unclear what her relationship status actually is. There are no recent photos of Hannah on her social media with a romantic partner, and there are only rumors of who she’s dated recently. There was speculating Hannah was dating her co-star from the project Find Me in Paris, Rory Saper, after the actress began posting cutesy pictures of them on Instagram. But that hasn’t happened in a long time. More recently, insiders have suggested that English singer-songwriter Sam Fender has been sliding into her DMs. Hannah Dodd attends Netflix’s “Bridgerton” Season 3 World Premiere at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center on May 13, 2024 in New York City. ((Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)) “Sam thinks Hannah is absolutely stunning and has been liking her pictures like crazy,” said one insider to The Sun, “which is of course very flattering for her.” “She has also followed him back and they are getting on very well…It’s a case of watch this space.” Given the boost Bridgerton is giving to Hannah in the zeitgeist, you can bet there are tons more people watching the space for sure!

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is showing off her dancing moves! At present, it seems that Shiloh is one of the only kids voluntarily speaking to Brad Pitt. That is, of course, her choice. Just weeks away from full, official adulthood, Shiloh is showing off her remarkable skills as a dancer. Even professionals are impressed by her moves! Take a look: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt attends the Los Angeles premiere of MSNBC Films’ “Paper & Glue: A JR Project” at Museum Of Tolerance on November 18, 2021. (Photo Credit: JC Olivera/Getty Images) Fans are expressing delight over Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s dancing skills In a recent Instagram post, choreographer Lil Kelaan Carter showcased 17-year-old Shiloh’s dancing. (Shiloh, born May 27, 2006, was just weeks shy of her birthday in the May 3 video) Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter appears wearing appropriate dance clothing — sweatpants, tennis shoes, and a comfy tee shirt — was dancing in a studio. The song playing in the video below was “Tanzania,” by Uncle Waffles and Tony Duardo (featuring Sino Msolo and Boibizza). “Her movement is crazy,” Carter captioned the video on Instagram. “Thank you for your energy,” the choreographer added, tagging Shiloh by her private Instagram. We’re no dance professionals, but Carter is correct. Shiloh’s movements are coordinated and mesmerizing, showing a total understanding of her body’s placement and range of motion and the visual effect that she is generating with her dancing.

(Photo Credit: Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images) How did Shiloh become so good at dancing? Fans were quick to take to the Instagram comments (and, of course, elsewhere on social media) to praise her dancing. A few commenters didn’t even seem to be aware of who Shiloh is, simply seeing a good dancer. A few observers suggested that Shiloh’s famous parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, are responsible for her dancing prowess. While certain aptitudes can be inherited through genetics and upbringing, one needn’t have talented parents to develop a skill. That said, being born into wealth certainly gives people freedom and resources to explore their aptitudes and interests. We’re all pleased that Shiloh could pursue dance, because she’s clearly very good at it!

(Photo Credit: JC Olivera/Getty Images) In a 2022 conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Brad Pitt praised Shiloh’s dancing skills. This was following yet another of Shiloh’s memorable dance videos. “It brings a tear to the eye, yeah,” the actor praised at the time. He added that Shiloh is “very beautiful.” Pitt then freely admitted: “I don’t know where she got it from. I’m Mr. Two-Left-Feet here.” For whatever reason, Shiloh is reportedly still on friendly terms with Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s protracted legal battle over a French winery has dragged a lot of ugly history into the open. The allegations of horrific domestic violence against Angelina and some of their children have chipped away at previous public perceptions of Pitt as a husband, father, and person. While things were bad before that fateful flight in 2016, the marriage collapsed. Since then, Pitt’s adult children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, have all seemingly taken steps to distance themselves from him. Brad Pitt, star of the upcoming Formula One based movie, Apex, walks in the Pitlane prior to qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Las Vegas at Las Vegas Strip Circuit on November 17, 2023. (Photo Credit: Rudy Carezzevoli/Getty Images) Maddox reportedly wants nothing to do with Pitt. Pax wrote a passionate Father’s Day post a few years ago condemning daddy dearest. And reports say that Zahara introduced herself with the surname Jolie, alone, at college. Yet, for whatever reason, reports say that Shiloh feels some sympathies for the man. It is not uncommon (just look at how some of the Gosselin children cling to Kate) for children to remain attached to unworthy parents. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t drive a wedge between Shiloh and her siblings.

Nicola Coughlan is featured prominently on Bridgerton Season 3. As the character of Penelope Featherington, Coughlan sets out early on to find a husband, changing up her wardrobe and heading into the marriage market. This new feeling of empowerment for Penelope is an example of art imitating life… as Coughlan explains in a new interview that she made a request of producers when it came to her on-screen depiction this year… Nicola Coughlan on Bridgerton Season 3. (Netflix) … she wanted to bare it all. “I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included,” the actress said this week to Stylist magazine. “There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice.” Coughlan might not possess the ideal body, at least not according to her critics — which are mostly total strangers on the Internet. To her extreme credit, the Netflix star is refusing to allow this criticism to affect her work. Or her self-confidence. We absolutely adore Nicola Coughlan on the Netflix series Bridgerton. (Netflix) “It just felt like the biggest ‘f-ck you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering,” Coughlan says of her decision to strip all the way down on Bridgerton. She added to Stylist: “I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f-cking hot I looked!’” Amen! We absolutely love it.

(Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) Coughlan had never filmed a sex scene prior to her role on Bridgerton. She previously gave a great deal of credit — in a chat with The Los Angeles Times — about how comfortable she feels opposite Like Newton, who plays Colin Bridgerton, her character’s lover on the Netflix drama. “By the end of the day, we were both lying under a blanket, not clothed, just chillin’. We were like, ‘This is why nudists do it,’” she told this newspaper a few days ago. It unfortunately took Coughlan a little while to arrive at this point, however. Nicola Coughlan attends the season 3 photocall for “Bridgerton” at Bulgari Hotel on May 9, 2024 in Milan, Italy. ((Photo by Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images) In 2022, Coughlan asked critics to leave her alone via an emotional Instagram post. “Hello! So just a thing- if you have an opinion about my body please, please don’t share it with me,” the actress wrote alongside a mirror selfie. “Most people are being nice and not trying to be offensive but I am just one real life human being and it’s really hard to take the weight of thousands of opinions on how you look- being sent directly to you every day,” Coughlan continued, concluding as follows: “I understand I’m on TV and that people will have things to think and say but I beg you not to send it to me directly.” Nicola Coughlan: I Wanted to Be VERY Nude on Bridgerton Season 3! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Dean McDermott is not officially done with Tori Spelling. The actor filed a divorce petition just a few days ago in which he asked his estranged spouse for financial support. But while McDermott continues to battle Spelling in court, he’s not making war with Lily Calo. As evidenced in a new social media upload, he’s making love. Dean McDermott attends the FOX Summer TCA 2019 All-Star Party at Fox Studios on August 7, 2019 in Los Angeles. (Photo credit should read MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) On Wednesday, the 57-year old shared an Instagram post alongside Lily Calo, marking the couple’s first appearance on this very popular platform. The snapshot has now gone vial amid McDermott’s divorce from his wife of nearly 18 years, who started the divorce paperwork back on March 29. In his post, McDermott and Calo are at The Magic Castle, a private club in Los Angeles, standing arm in arm on the red carpet. “Sometimes ya just gotta put on your best duds and take your girl to The Magic Castle. Cuz she’s Magic!! #mylovey,” the Canadian wrote as a caption. Calo is a senior account executive at health brand Conscious Community Global. She posted her own picture from the same night on her own Instagram page, penning along with it: “I’ve got peace and I’ve got love #gratefulheart.” Calo has actually met Spelling and, according to McDermott, the two get along very well.

Rodriguez/Getty Images for WE tv) In fact, under Calo’s aforementioned photo, Spelling wrote as a remark: “Love you both.” We never thought we’d see the day where she and McDermott would be on such mature and amicable terms. “I like Lily a lot. It’s not bad. It’s just, you know, it’s different,” the actress said on an episode of her misSPELLING podcast in April. Spelling and McDermott share five kids: Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7. Spelling has asked for sole custody of these children, while McDermott is asking for joint custody.

(Photo by Michael Kovac/Getty Images for Feld Entertainment) In November 2023, McDermott delved into his personal demons while speaking to The Daily Mail, taking responsibility for numerous failures as a husband and simply as a human being. “All Tori’s ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman,” the actor said on November 15, adding back then: “I’m taking accountability for that today. And it’s the biggest amend that I’m ever going to have to make.” Such an admission has likely helped the ex-spouses get back on decent terms.

(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) “Alcohol made me feel good enough. I started feeling good enough until it got to a point where it didn’t – it ended up in isolation,” McDermott acknowledged late last year in this interview. “It ended up with me drinking a fifth of tequila every night, seven days a week, and a handful of narcos by myself with a beautiful family in the other room. “That’s what it led to and that’s what led to the brokenness and to what happened between me and Tori.” Spelling and McDermott exchanged vows private ceremony in Fiji on May 7, 2006 after meeting the previous year while shooting the TV movie Mind Over Murder. For her part, meanwhile, Spelling was spotted kissing Ryan Cramer, the CEO of Santa Monica-based agency Neuron Syndicate Inc., in November.

UPDATE: According to a new report from Life & Style, the second Bennifer breakup is official, as Ben has now moved out of the home he and Jen once shared. “The writing is on the wall – it’s over. They’re headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!” one insider tells the outlet. “He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” the source continues, adding: “Ben already moved out, and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez arrive at the premiere of “Daredevil” at the Village Theatre on February 9, 2003 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) “They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.” For fans of the couple, it’s deja vu all over again. Twenty years ago, the Bennifer breakup stunned fans of the celebrity couple. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s whirlwind romance seemed over for good … until, in 2021, they rekindled things. Shortly thereafter, the two were married, vacationing together, attending premieres together, and releasing a film all about how their romance survived. In time, J. Lo is finally opened up about the real reason that she and Ben parted ways two decades ago.

(Photo Credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) In 2004, the Bennifer breakup shocked the couple’s fans Just three days before what would have been their 2003 wedding, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called off the nuptials. They claimed that the media circus was the cause. No one really believed that. Especially when they didn’t, say, immediately go through with new wedding plans (or just elope). Much, much more recently, Jennifer Lopez gave an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s This Is Me … Now Radio series. Here, she revealed the true cause of the demise of Bennifer 1.0.

(Photo Credit: Mindy Small/Getty Images) “We didn’t break up right at that moment, it happened over the series of the next few months,” J. Lo recalled during the interview. “Because what it did was it [cast] doubt in me, and both of us, about what our relationship was, and where it was going, I think,” she reflected. “And I knew in my heart that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, I knew that,” Lopez acknowledged. “But it didn’t feel like we were going to make it. And so, it scared me.” Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck weren’t in a place where they could make it work “It was very hard, it was a very sad moment of letting go of somebody that you truly love because you just can’t figure it out,” J. Lo described. “You just don’t have the capacity and the ability at that moment, emotionally, to figure it out,” she then added. Lopez chalked this up to their relative immaturity at the time, adding that they “weren’t ready” to put in the work. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attend the Los Angeles premiere of Warner Bros. “The Flash” at Ovation Hollywood on June 12, 2023. (Photo Credit: Phillip Faraone/Getty Images) “We weren’t ready to deal with and look at each other and go, ‘What we have is real, we need to buckle down, we need to do some work,'” Lopez suggested. “We just weren’t there yet.” She continued: “And so, we go, ‘Oh, this is what people do, they break up when things get hard, and we’re going to go our separate ways.’” J. Lo acknowledged: “And we went, and we both tried, and found other people, and had beautiful children, and had other families, and then even had other relationships after that.” Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend “The Mother” Los Angeles Premiere Event at Westwood Village on May 10, 2023, (Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) Perhaps they both needed to move on, at the time “And it wasn’t until both of us had done, I know for me, a lot of work, and got into a place where I was like, you know what? I’m totally good on my own,” Lopez remarked. She chose to describe herself: “I’m chill, I love my life, I have this amazing career that I’ve built for myself, I have these amazing children … I have great friends, that’s when he showed back up.” J. Lo shared: “Funnily enough, he said he had had the same type of experience. And that’s kind of how it went down.” Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attend Amazon’s “This is Me… Now: A Love Story” premiere at the Dolby theatre in Hollywood, California, February 13, 2024. (Photo Credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) We doubt that either Jennifer Lopez or Ben Affleck’s exes from long-term relationships and marriages would enjoy feeling characterized as learning opportunities. But J. Lo isn’t saying that this is all that they were. It doesn’t sound like the singer and actress chose to offer any tips when it comes to knowing when you’ve reached that threshold of maturity to make a marriage work. But it seems that, for Bennifer, they briefly reached their happy place. Their rekindled relationship outlasted their first attempt. But now, it seems that the couple has called it quits yet again. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Angie Harmon is suing over the horrific killing of her dog. In early April, Angie Harmon accused an Instacart delivery driver of murdering her dog. The emotional post conveyed her devastation, shock, and outrage over the senseless loss. The actress’ attempt to bring the alleged killer to justice fell short. According to her, the police simply washed their hands of the matter once the shooter claimed “self defense” without evidence. However, Angie Harmon’s quest for justice for her dog and her family is taking another route: she’s suing. Angie Harmon attends Variety’s 2022 Power Of Women: New York Event Presented By Lifetime at The Glasshouse on May 05, 2022. (Photo Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Variety) Early this spring, Angie Harmon reported that an Instacart driver killed her dog As we reported in April, Angie Harmon took to her Instagram on April 1 to share a jarring story of grief and loss over a senseless death. “A man delivering groceries for #Instacart shot & killed our precious Oliver,” she wrote in her heartbreaking caption. “He got out of his car, delivered the food, & THEN shot our dog.” In her caption, Harmon emphasized that the man in question had no signs of bites, scratches, or torn clothing. It is therefore unclear what caused him to cite “self-defense” to the police. On April 1, 2024, Angie Harmon took to Instagram to share her heartbreak and anger after the shooting death of her beloved dog, Oliver. She described her interactions with an Instacart driver and how the police had not taken any real steps to bring the man to justice. (Image Credit: Instagram) Harmon noted two key details beyond the obvious tragedy and the frustration of having police shrug it off. The first was that, according to her, the driver repeatedly confirmed — and thus confessed to — shooting her dog. And the second was that, according to Angie Harmon, the man was shopping under another person’s identity. Their Instacart communications had told her that her shopper was “a woman named Merle.” Angie Harmon is suing Instacart and a delivery driver People reports that court documents disclose that the actress, best known for her roles on Law & Order and on Rizzoli & Isles, is suing both Instacart and a delivery driver by the name of Christopher Anthoney Reid. Her lawsuit lists trespassing, conversion, negligence, negligent supervision/hiring, invasion of privacy, and negligent misrepresentation. It appears that Angie Harmon’s aim is not to increase her (reportedly sizable) net worth. People‘s report says that she is asking for over $25,000 in damages, though the trial will determine the exact amount. It sounds like this is, instead, about her quest for justice.

Max Nikias presented by Louis Vuitton at Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel on January 12, 2016. (Photo Credit: Jonathan Leibson/Getty Images for U.S. Fund for UNICEF) The legal filing details Harmon’s accounting of events. On March 30, she scheduled a grocery delivery from a Charlotte, North Carolina grocery chain. She believed that she was interacting with Merle, per the Instacart app, as she answered questions about her order. However, “Merle” never arrived to deliver Harmon’s groceries. Instead, her legal team explains, “Reid was impersonating Merle on the Instacart app.” Thus, a “tall and intimidating younger man” arrived on her property. There is a well-documented phenomenon of delivery gig workers impersonating others, to conceal records, to get better tips, or simply to trade jobs with other drivers. From Walmart to Doordash and beyond, this has left many customers feeling unsettled and vulnerable.

(Photo Credit: Rich Polk/Getty Images for Whole Child International) The safety issues extended even beyond this tragic killing When Angie Harmon heard what she took to be a gunshot, she raced downstairs. Harmon’s children were home, in the backyard. Harmon allegedly observed that Reid “was placing a gun in the front of his pants, potentially in his pant pocket. Looking to the side, she saw that her beloved dog, Oliver, was shot. Although shot, Oliver was still alive.” Despite the best efforts of Harmon and the veterinarian to whom she rushed him, Oliver died. The Charlotte Mekclenburg Police Department questioned Reid, but despite no signs of injury on Reid, police didn’t even bother to wait for the necropsy before closing the investigation.

The company also assured that the shopper account (presumably “Merle”) had received a permanent deactivation. Instacart also prohibits delivery drivers from carrying weapons or the sharing of account information or responsibilities. It seems that Reid allegedly violated both of these policies. Presumably, Harmon’s lawsuit towards Instacart pertains to how an armed maniac allegedly slipped through the cracks and altered her family dynamic forever. Though she is reportedly seeking a very small sum, it’s likely that she hopes that her lawsuit will prevent this from happening again.

Taylor Swift is in an awkward position this week, as fans are urging the singer to speak out against Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Butker, of course, is a teammate of Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Earlier this week, the Super Bowl winner delivered a commencement speech at Benedictine College.

(Photo by Candice Ward/Getty Images) Harrison Butker Stirs Controversy With Bizarre Commencement Speech And to the chagrin of many, Butker used the opportunity to share his very old-fashioned and misogynistic worldview. The kicker began his speech with bizarre, paranoid rant about the COVID pandemic: “While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,” he said. “Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues,” Butker added, according to the Associated Press.

He encouraged the women in the audience — women who were about to receive college degrees, mind you — to leave the workforce and become homemakers. “I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” Butker said.

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world. But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,” he added. “I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.” Taylor Swift Gets Dragged Into Harrison Butker’s Speech While condemning Catholic bishops who become overly familiar with their parishioners — the weirdness of his speech really cannot be overstated — Butker quoted Taylor without mentioning her by name: Taylor Swift attends ‘In Conversation With… Taylor Swift’ during the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival at TIFF Bell Lightbox on September 09, 2022 in Toronto, Ontario. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) “As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘Familiarity breeds contempt’,” he said. Swifties have generally been supportive of Taylor’s relationship with Travis. But many did not enjoy hearing her dragged into Butker’s bizarre tirade. “I hope Taylor Swift writes a song about Harrison Butker,” wrote one user. Is Taylor Swift going to speak out against Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker about his commencement at Benedictine College since he invoked her name?” another added. Taylor Swift attends the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) “I don’t see many people talking about how Butker quoted Taylor swift in his speech. One of the hardest working women on the planet right now, in a speech about how women belong in the kitchen,” a third chimed in, adding: “I hope travis sent him a nice little text message to leave his gf out of his horrendous speeches.” While it would be endlessly amusing if Taylor publicly called out Harrison, that seems unlikely. After all, the guy is a coworker of her boyfriend’s. That said, we hope that Travis will exchange some words with Butker. That’s one kicker who needs to be put in his place.

Just over two months since we learned that Garrison Brown had died at the very young age of 25, the Coconino County Medical Examiner has revealed the result of the reality star’s autopsy. According to this document, which was obtained by on May 15 by People Magazine, Brown died from a gunshot wound to the head. His manner of death has been ruled a suicide. Garrison Brown died by suicide at age 25. RIP. (Image Credit: TLC) This finding is consistent with everything we have heard and read since March 5. On that date, Janelle Brown and Kody Brown issued a joint statement that read: “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.” Garrison Brown is pictured here on an episode of Sister Wives. (TLC) It later came out that Garrison had admitted to suicidal tendencies in a text message to his mother. Due to her concern of her son’s well-being, Janelle asked one of his siblings to go check on Garrison around this time… his brother, Gabriel, agreed to do so… and that’s how Garrison’s corpse was discovered. It’s simply horrible. In the many weeks since Garrison took his own life, a number of family members have come out and shared moving tributes to the Sister Wives star. Garrison Brown and mother Janelle on Sister Wives. (TLC) Garrison’s sister, Maddie Brown, made it evident on March 18 that mental health was a factor in Garrison’s passing. “Mental health is so important. And I don’t think we talk about it enough,” she shared on Instagram 18. “I don’t think we do enough to bring awareness. It wasn’t bullying, it wasn’t a lack of love that Garrison had. It was mental health. “And I am going to continue talking about mental health and self-care until I’m blue in the face because I don’t think it’s talked about enough in a way that people understand it.” Kody didn’t get along with Garrison at the time his son took his own life. (TLC) The autopsy, meanwhile, notes a contributing factor in Garrison’s death was ethanol intoxication, otherwise known as alcohol poisoning. Per the report, Garrison’s blood alcohol level was .307%. (The legal limit in the U.S. is .08% and anything above .40% is considered potentially fatal.) Garrison also had traces of caffeine in his system at the time of his death. Janelle Brown appears on a 2022 episode of Sister Wives. (Image Credit: TLC) Garrison — who was introduced to TLC viewers in 2010 — was one of Janelle and Kody’s six kids, along with Maddie and siblings Logan, 29, Hunter, 26, Gabriel, 21, and Savanah, 18. In late March, Garrison was honored via a memorial service put on by the Nevada National Guard, after which Janelle said the following on social media: “It’s been hard to get my brain to work properly again. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I’ve received these last three weeks. The support has been overwhelming. I am honored. “So many of you shared stories of your loved ones. So many of you wrote of your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. “Garrison was honored by family members and by his National Guard Unit last Saturday at a celebration of life ceremony. He would have loved it. “I am sharing some of the photos. Many you have already seen a lot of these online, often with snarky comments accompanying them. But this was a beautiful moment for us.” Garrison Brown Cause of Death Confirmed 2 Months After Horrific Tragedy was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Kanye West is freaking out wife Bianca Censori with his big, NSFW plans for the future. For years, Ye has pushed the envelope. From filming a snuff music video about Pete Davidson to featuring nude mock-ups of perceived enemies like Taylor Swift, he has crossed a lot of boundaries. Recent reports have shed light on Kanye’s plans to launch his own porn empire. But these plans have his wife worried for multiple reasons … and could be the final straw in their bizarre marriage. Kanye West and Bianca Censori attend the Marni Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Show during the Milan Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2024-2025 on February 23, 2024. (Photo Credit: Alessandro Levati/Getty Images for Marni Srl) Reportedly, Kanye West wants to get into the adult entertainment industry Amidst reports that Ye wants to launch his own adult entertainment studio, Bianca Censori is said to be rethinking her marriage. Memorably, Kanye West once credited God for helping him to overcome what he called a “full-on pornography addiction.” (Just a disclaimer, “porn addiction” is not a medically recognized condition. This fictitious condition is more of a right-wing talking point among internet weirdos. These are people who think that orgasms make them less masculine, or something) Kanye West and girlfriend Chaney Jones attend a game between the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Lakers in the fourth quarter at Crypto.com Arena on March 11, 2022. (Photo Credit: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) According to a new report by In Touch Weekly, Ye’s dreams of an adult entertainment empire have Bianca Censori in a tailspin. The inside source warns that Bianca suspects that Kanye will want her to perform on camera. “She’s freaking out, and with good reason,” the insider expressed. “He’s been strutting her around and dressing her like she’s a porn star — and now she knows why!” Bianca Censori attends the Marni Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Show during the Milan Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2024-2025 on February 23, 2024. (Photo Credit: Alessandro Levati/Getty Images for Marni Srl) To be blunt, Bianca Censori may have hit her limit with Ye If Kanye goes through with his purported intent to launch a studio with Mike Moz (who is Stormy Daniels‘ ex), it could blow up his personal life. For reasons known only to Bianca, she decided to marry Kanye in late 2022. But the report details that the pair are having issues. “Bianca went along with him parading her around like she was in some kind of freaky fashion show because she thought it could turn her into a star,” the source claimed. “But skin flicks are beyond the pale.” Ye poses for a photo as he arrives for the fight between Jamel Herring and Shakur Stevenson at State Farm Arena on October 23, 2021. (Photo Credit: Brandon Magnus/Getty Images) Kanye allegedly hopes to outdo the notorious home video that made Kim Kardashian famous. And to do so, he’d make Bianca into an adult star. Bluntly, the insider pointed out: “She’s already gotten all the notoriety she needs from him. And her friends say she’s ready to walk.” Kanye West and Bianca Censori are seen in the stands during the UEFA Champions League last 16 first leg football match Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid at the San Siro stadium in Milan on February 20, 2024. (Photo Credit: MARCO BERTORELLO/AFP via Getty Images) Is this claim about Kanye and Bianca true? On the one hand, this whole thing sounds deeply far-fetched. At the same time … Ye is notoriously unhinged. What can we put past the man who once filmed and posted himself urinating on an award? Especially since he’s also a notorious Hitler apologist. And that brings us to maybe the most concerning piece of this whole story. Not wanting to be a porn star is fine. Not everyone wants to be a sex worker, just like not everyone wants to be a construction worker, a sales clerk, a firefighter. That’s normal. But what sort of person is fine with a Hitler apologist but draws the line at someone launching a porn company? No matter what, we all have questions about Bianca Censori.

King Charles unveiled the first official portrait of his reign this week. And to say that the reaction has been mixed would be putting it very, very mildly. Artist Jonathan Yeo took an unusual approach to his regal subject, depicting Charles in an array of reddish hues that reminded some observers of the fires of hell. An official portrait of King Charles III, painted by artist Jonathan Yeo, is pictured during its unveiling, in the Blue Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace in London on May 14, 2024. (Photo by Aaron Chown / POOL / AFP) King Charles’ First Official Portrait Baffles Internet “Who approved King Charles III’s new portrait cuz it looks like he’s in hell?!” one user posted to X (formerly Twitter), according to TMZ. Several observers noted that Charles looked “villainous” in the painting. Others complained that he appeared to be drenched in blood. And a surprisingly large contingent of weirdos are convinced that there’s an openly “satanic” quality to the portrait. King Charles III unveils his portrait by artist Jonathan Yeo in the blue drawing room at Buckingham Palace on May 14, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Aaron Chown-WPA Pool/Getty Images) Needless to say, this is probably not the sort of reception that Charles was hoping for for his very first portrait as king. Dark Times For the Royal Family The strange portrait and the negative response to it come at a time when the royals are already dealing with a tremendous amount of strife. In February, we learned that King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales visits the new Emergency Service Station at Barnard Castle on February 15, 2018 in Durham, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson – WPA Pool /Getty Images) Little is known about his condition. But it’s been widely rumored that Charles’ treatment is not going as well as his doctors had hoped. Some outlets have even gone so far as to report that Charles only has two years to live. Charles was able to return to royal duty last month, but there are still grave concerns about his condition.

(Photo by Aaron Chown-WPA Pool/Getty Images) Kate Middleton Is Also Battling Cancer Shortly after palace officials announced Charles’ condition, we learned that Kate Middleton is also battling cancer. Thankfully, Kate is believed to be on the mend. Still, there’s no denying that this is an extremely difficult time for the royals. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge engages in a walkabout in Ballymena town centre on February 28, 2019 in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images) Obviously, none of this has anything to do with Charles’ bizarre portrait. But as many have pointed out, this would have been a good time to unveil a painting that might inspire hope and optimism among the British people. Instead, the royals went with this strange depiction of Charles as Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters II. Those who know him best say that King Charles is very concerned about his legacy and the manner in which he’ll be remembered — which makes this highly unusual official portrait all the more baffling.

Sophie Turner would like a word or two with, well… everyone. As you may be aware, Joe Jonas filed to divorce Turner in September of 2023. As you may also be aware, plenty of rumors started to circulate afterward about Turner’s alleged love of partying, drinking, going out… and sort of shirking her parental duties. (The singer and actress got married in 2019 and share kids Willa, 4, and Delphine, 22 months.) Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner attend the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 12, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for Vanity Fair) For a British Vogue cover story this month, Turner addresses this speculation for the first time, telling the outlet of that period of time after the divorce news broke: “Those were the worst few days of my life. “I remember I was on set, I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. “And all these articles started coming out.” Sophie Turner attends the Louis Vuitton Womenswear Fall Winter 2023-2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week at Orsay Museum on March 6, 2023 in Paris, France. (Photo by Kristy Sparow/Getty Images) Jonas and Turner reached a temporary custody agreement last October; it’s a complex document due to Turner often spending time in her native United Kingdom. Late last year, meanwhile, photos made the round of the actress at a wrap party for this movie in England, as speculation over her irresponsibility as a mother spread throughout celebrity gossip forums and tabloids. Turner says she had to remind herself that “none of this is true” and that she was “a good mum,” adding to Vogue: “It’s unfathomable the amount of people that will just make sh-t up and put it up based on a picture,. “A picture might tell a thousand words, but it’s not my story. It felt like I was watching a movie of my life that I hadn’t written, hadn’t produced, or starred in. It was shocking. I’m still in shock.” Sophie Turner attends the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2023 at The Royal Festival Hall on February 19, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Dominic Lipinski/Getty Images) Turner went on as follows: “There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it. I would call my lawyer saying, ‘I can’t do this. I just can’t. “And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for.” To be clear, Jonas has not said a negative word about his ex-wife in public. “After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” the stars said in a joint statement last fall. “There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.” Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner attend the 2nd Annual Academy Museum Gala at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 15, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) These days, Turner is on a much better path. She’s in a much better place. At least partly due to Taylor Swift, she explains to Vogue. “Taylor was an absolute hero to me this year,” Turner says. “I’ve never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her because she took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space. She really has a heart of gold.” Sophie Turner Breaks Silence on “Shocking” Fallout from Joe Jonas Divorce was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Prince Harry fears that William and the royal firm will never let him see King Charles again. Perhaps not even at the monarch’s funeral. King Charles returned to his royal duties in April following cancer treatments. Though many details remain under wraps, whispers suggest that the monarch’s outlook looks grim. Prince Harry and Prince Charles, Prince of Wales arrive to attend the ‘International Year of The Reef’ 2018 meeting at Fishmongers Hall on February 14, 2018. (Photo Credit: Matt Dunham – WPA Pool/Getty Images) King Charles is snubbing Prince Harry again and again On May 7, Buckingham Palace announced to the world that King Charles plans to endow Prince William with a prestigious (within the context of honorary and frankly pretend royal honors) military title. “His Majesty the King will officially hand over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,” the place decreed. William assumed the title of Prince of Wales when his father ascended to the throne upon Queen Elizabeth II’s death. While “these are my awards, from Army” is fairly par for the course when it comes to the royal family and their titles, there’s one glaring detail. There is someone in line for the throne who actually served in the British military, and it was not William. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation onstage during The Invictus Games Foundation Conversation titled “Realising a Global Community” at the Honourable Artillery Company on May 07, 2024. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images for The Invictus Games Foundation) Prince Harry served with distinction Harry served with the Army Air Corps in Afghanistan. This was not a ceremonial title or a special big boy pin on his chest, but actual normal military service as part of a multinational coalition to combat the Taliban and Al Qaeda. This title might very well have gone to Harry one day if he and Meghan Markle had not had to step away from royal duties in 2020 in order to protect their family. According to what an inside source tells In Touch Weekly, “For Harry, it was the ultimate humiliation” for his brother to receive this title. King Charles III and Britain’s Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex walk behind the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, adorned with a Royal Standard and the Imperial State Crown and pulled by a Gun Carriage of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, during a procession from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster, in London on September 14, 2022. (Photo Credit: LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images) This was not the only insult to Prince Harry from his royal father Mere hours ahead of King Charles awarding that title to William, Prince Harry had arrived in London. His purpose was to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. This sports event exists for wounded soldiers and veterans, and is part of Prince Harry’s legacy. However, King Charles was supposedly too busy to see Harry during his visit. That would be awkward under any circumstances. With Charles’ cancer battle, it seems downright cruel. King Charles III delivers his address to the nation and the Commonwealth from Buckingham Palace following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8th September in Balmoral, on September 9, 2022. (Photo Credit: Yui Mok – WPA Pool/Getty Images) “It’s not stopped him from loving his dad,” the inside source explained. “But has reminded Harry that some things may never be repairable.” And with reports that King Charles has pancreatic cancer and an estimated two years to live, time is running out to even try to mend fences. Understandably, the insider added: “Harry is heartbroken and worried he’ll never see his father again.” Prince Harry, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, arrive at the Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference at Lancaster House on February 13, 2014. (Photo Credit: John Stillwell – WPA Pool/Getty images) Will Harry ever see Charles again? Though Charles had previously wanted Harry and William to make amends, reports say that Charles is now the one causing problems and preventing reconciliation. The reason? Charles is still royally peeved that Harry described his lived experiences in his bestselling memoir, Spare. Particularly sharing his recollections of Camilla, who is now Charles’ queen. However, ultimately, the ball may be in William’s court. Elizabeth II wasn’t the one who prevented Harry from seeing her on her deathbed. And when it’s Charles’ turn, it’s likely that William will be calling the shots. Either way, by that point, it will be too late. “Harry would like nothing more than to see his dad, but he’s been shut out,” the inside source affirmed of Charles avoiding Harry during his latest visit. “They’re punishing him.” Ouch! “If his father dies and Harry doesn’t get a chance to see him, it will be another trauma to add to an already long list,” the insider warned. “But it’s naïve of Harry to think Charles will come around and broker reconciliation.” Then there are reports that William is thinking about money — and wanting to ensure that Harry inherits none of Charles’ royal riches. Family tragedy can bring out the worst in some people. Prince Harry Fears He’ll Never See King Charles Alive Again: Report was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Just when we thought that Tom Sandoval couldn’t sink any lower, last night’s Vanderpump Rules reunion saw the bar owner attempting to justify his appalling remarks about George Floyd. Sandoval, as you’re likely aware, is a reality star who took some flak for cheating on his girlfriend with one of her best friends. And Floyd was a Black man who became a national symbol of racial inequality after he was murdered by Minneapolis police. Tom and Raquel’s romance has come to an end, but the fallout will likely remain with them for the rest of their lives! (Bravo) Yet somehow, despite these massive differences, Sandoval thought the two situations were completely comparable. Tom Sandoval Digs Himself An Even Deeper Hole “I’m not a pop culture historian really,” Sandoval told The New York Times in February. “But I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?” he asked. Needless to say, not a lot of folks agreed with Sandoval’s assessment of the situation.

(Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for House of Barrie) Tom Sandoval Attempts to Rescue Reputation on Vanderpump Rules Reunion When the topic of Tom Sandoval’s problematic remarks came up during Tuesday’s Vanderpump Rules reunion, the reality star made the baffling decision to try and justify his comments. “Do I have to do a sales pitch on myself? I am not defending anything I said; I was just talking about the absurdity of the scandal,” he argued, according to Us Weekly. “I just thought of big things in the news. Obviously, they are parts of movements,” he continued.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) “I am seeing the scandal sandwiched in between the war in Ukraine and some other s—t. This is stupid. Why is CNN talking about a cheating scandal on a guilty pleasure reality show?” Obviously, that’s a lot of words. when a simple “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have said that would’ve sufficed.” From there, Sandoval lashed out at comments made by Lala Kent. She’d previously alleged that he had “groomed” Rachel Leviss ahead of their affair.

(Photo by Araya Doheny/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) “She used the word ‘groomed’ which is beyond f—king slander considering she is not underage,” Sandoval fumed. “That implies pedophilia.” “It is taking someone who is younger than you and more impressionable than you and someone who is at a higher level of power than the other person,” Lala corrected “I was very impressionable when she took all her clothes off and jumped in my f—king pool,” Sandoval replied. In a rare admission of fault, Lala conceded that it was not her place to accuse Sandoval of sexual misconduct.

And I still have to catch myself,” she explained, noting that she’s fresh from a relationship with a very unequal power dynamic. “Only Raquel and Tom know what was going on. He is going to see it differently. I tend to lean toward the chick a little more.” More than a year after the Scandoval, it seems that the cast — with the exception of Ariana Madix — is beginning to soften toward the principal players.
