Aubrey O'Day Says She's 'Floored by the Jury's Verdict' in Diddy Trial

2 July 2025 at 14:56

Aubrey O’Day can’t wrap her head around the results of the trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“I’m floored by the jury’s verdict,” O’Day, 41, said in a preview of her appearance on Inside Edition on Wednesday, July 2, hours after Diddy, 55, was acquitted on two sex trafficking charges and one racketeering conspiracy charge. He was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, which together carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

“The evidence is there. For me, it’s all the way there,” O’Day continued. “I feel that there’s going to be an instinct for people to want to suggest that the prosecution overcharged, overreached, didn’t do enough.”

O’Day also called out Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo‘s closing speech, saying that the “narratives that were given in that closing are what the jury has decided they feel the truth is on sex trafficking and RICO enterprises.”

Aubrey O'Day Shares Cryptic Post About 'Justice' After Diddy's Arrest

“And that’s a very dangerous narrative,” she concluded.

O’Day’s full interview on Inside Edition is set to air Wednesday night. Check local listings for times and stations in your area.

O’Day previously reacted to the verdict via Instagram, sharing a clip of CNN journalists revealing the news. “Wow. This makes me physically ill. I’m gonna vomit,” she wrote.

O’Day met Diddy when she competed on Making the Band 3, which aired on MTV from 2005 to 2006. O’Day formed the group Danity Kane with Aundrea Fimbres, D. Woods, Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex, and they were signed by Diddy’s Bad Boy Records. However, when Making the Band 4’s finale aired in 2008, Diddy announced that O’Day had been kicked out of the group.

Diddy was arrested in September 2024. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The rapper’s trial, which began in May, mainly focused on the alleged “freak offs” that were orchestrated by Diddy. His defense team argued in their closing statements that these parties were not criminal but an expression of Diddy’s sexual proclivities.

As for the racketeering charge, Agnifilo said, “There is a gaping lack of evidence when it comes to the racketeering conspiracy acts. If you find that you’re in the weeds of this great complexity, maybe that’s because it’s just not there.”

Meanwhile, prosecutor Maurene Comey said that Diddy had “gotten away with his crimes” for “20 years.”

“He is not a god, he is a person. Find him guilty,” Comey continued.

After the jury reached its verdict on Wednesday, the defense asked that Diddy be released on bail to his home in Miami until his sentencing. The prosecution argued that the music producer would be a “danger” if released and asked that he remain behind bars. Judge Arun Subramanian later denied bail at a hearing on Wednesday.

Aubrey O'Day Reveals How the Diddy Trial Has Impacted Her Sex Life

The verdict has also garnered a reaction from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, who filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him in November 2023 and was a key witness in the trial. Her lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor shared a statement with Us Weekly after the partial acquittal.

“This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023. Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution,” the statement read.

Wigdor continued, “By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice. We must repeat — with no reservation — that we believe and support our client who showed exemplary courage throughout this trial. She displayed unquestionable strength and brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion. This case proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors.”

Sally Field's 3 Kids Are in Show Business: Meet the Actress' Sons

2 July 2025 at 14:56

Sally Field is a woman of many talents, but perhaps her greatest role of all is being a mom.

The Oscar-winning actress has three kids: Peter Craig, Eli Craig and Sam Greisman. She welcomed her two eldest sons, Peter and Eli, during her marriage to her first husband, Steven Craig, which lasted from 1968 to 1975.

Field’s youngest son, Sam, arrived during her marriage to her second husband, Alan Greisman, whom she was married to from 1984 to 1994.

She reflected on how becoming a mother in her 20s was “an opportunity to almost re-parent” herself during a March 2024 episode of the “Wiser Than Me With Julia Louis-Dreyfus” podcast.

“Certainly as time went on, I was mothering myself,” Field added. “But I was so young. I was just 23 [becoming a mother].”

Peter was born on November 10, 1969. Field was 23 years old at the time. Like his mom, Peter was bitten by the show business bug, but he has preferred to stay behind the camera as a screenwriter.

Some of his writing credits include working on 2010’s The Town, 2014’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, 2015’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, 2016’s Blood Father and 2020’s Bad Boys for Life.

More recently, Peter wrote 2022’s The Batman, 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, 2024’s Gladiator II and eight episodes of 2025’s Dope Thief.

Field is nothing but delighted by everything her kids have accomplished over the years.

“The three things I’m most proud of in my life are my sons,” she told Closer Weekly in February 2020. “They are kind, loving, productive people. Each with their own list of talents and accomplishments.”

Peter shares two daughters with his first wife, Amy Scattergood, and one son with his second wife, Jennifer DeFrancisco. He married his third wife, Cristina Esposito, in 2023.

Peter is also a novelist, having penned the books Blood Father, Hot Plastic and The Martini Shot.

Eli, Field’s second son with Steven, was born on May 25, 1972. Like his older brother, Eli is a screenwriter, along with being a director and actor. He directed 2013’s Zombieland and 2025’s Clown in a Cornfield.

He married wife Sasha Williams in 2004. She is known for playing the Yellow Power Ranger. They have two sons named Noah and Colin.

Sam Greisman

Field’s gave birth to her youngest son, Sam, on December 2, 1987. He is a writer, producer and director with credits from multiple short films.

He opened up about his strong bond with his mother and how she is always by his side when he needs her.

“I’ve always been a momma’s boy — painfully, occasionally ashamedly so,” he told People in February 2023. “Perhaps too obsessed with her. Maybe it’s because I’m the youngest, by 16 years. Maybe it’s because I was a shy little kid and my mom was a safe space; a hip I was attached to.”

Sam continued: “Maybe it’s because gay men feel a certain undeniable affection for award-winning actresses. Who knows! Whatever it is, we have always been incredibly close.”

He also shared some of the most valuable lessons Field taught him throughout her Hollywood career.

“She has taught me that life, like art, is about picking yourself up and dusting yourself off, like she has done countless times,” Sam reflected. “And luckily for me, I know that when I fall she will be there to pick me up. Even when she’s not there.”

Diddy’s Sentencing Date Set After Partial Guilty Verdict in Trial

2 July 2025 at 14:44

The date for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sentencing has been confirmed following his partial conviction at trial.

Judge Arun Subramanian revealed on Wednesday, July 2, that Diddy, 55, will be ordered to return to court on October 3 for his sentencing. Diddy’s defense team is seeking a prison sentence of 21 to 27 months, while prosecutors asked for a sentence of 51 to 63 months. The rapper will also get credit for the time he’s already served since his 2024 arrest. The judge noted he is willing to move up the sentencing date upon the defense’s request.

Subramanian also denied Diddy’s request for bail after the jury verdict was rendered.

Although he pleaded not guilty to all of the charges brought against him, a jury convicted Diddy on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on Wednesday, with each carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. He was acquitted on the other charges of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking.

A Complete Timeline of Allegations and Verdict in the Diddy Trial

After the verdict came down, Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo requested his immediate release from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he had been held since his September 2024 arrest. (His repeated attempts at bail prior to his trial were all denied.)

Agnifilo asked that Diddy be allowed to return to his Miami Beach home on Star Island while awaiting sentencing.

“Are you proposing he just walk outside now?” Subramanian inquired, to which Agnifilo replied, “Yes.”

“He is no longer charged with sex trafficking or racketeering,” Agnifilo said. “His plane has been chartered — it is in Maui. He does not have access to his plane. This is his first conviction, and it is a prostitution offense. He should be released.”

Everything We Know About the Diddy Jury Who Decided the Rapper’s Verdict

Agnifilo further requested a $1 million bond that would allow Diddy to travel to New York, Los Angeles and Florida. However, prosecutor Maurene Comey opposed his release, arguing, “A person found guilty shall be detained until the judicial officer finds he is not likely to flee or be a danger.”

The judge ultimately ruled that Diddy remain behind bars until his sentencing hearing this fall.

Shortly after the verdict, NBC News legal analyst Misty Marris told the outlet that Diddy’s legal team would likely request he serve no more time in prison after spending months in custody after his arrest. Conversely, the prosecution was expected to seek a sentence closer to the maximum of 20 years.

The Judge, Jury and Lawyers in Diddy Case Explained

“The judge is really limited in those sentencing guidelines,” Marris said. “There’s discretion up to that 10 years [per charge], but they’re going to use those guidelines in order to really pin down what would be appropriate under the circumstances.”

Mark Chutkow, a former federal prosecutor not involved with the Diddy case, also spoke to Us Weekly about the potential sentence at the time.

“The prostitution charges were the least serious of the counts in the indictment,” Chutkow said. “While each has a 10-year statutory maximum, which could be imposed consecutively for a possible 20-year sentence, it is unlikely that the court would impose such a high sentence given the acquittal on the more serious charges. When imposing a sentence, the court will consider the fact that the prostitution charges did not involve a criminal enterprise nor allegations of force, fraud or coercion.”

Judge Rules Diddy Must Stay in Jail After Sex Trafficking Verdict

2 July 2025 at 14:30

Judge Arun Subramanian has made a ruling regarding Sean “Diddy” Combs’ immediate future behind bars.

On Wednesday, July 2, Subramanian announced that the disgraced music mogul should remain in custody while awaiting sentencing, NBC News reported.

Before the ruling was made, both the prosecutors and defense attorneys each stated their case for why Diddy should or should not remain behind bars until sentencing. (Cassie’s lawyer and the prosecution both asked the judge to deny bail.)

The decision comes after Diddy, 55, was acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. He was, however, found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. (Diddy pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against him after his September 2024 arrest in New York City and has denied all of the allegations.)

How Long Will Diddy Be in Jail? His Possible Sentence Explained

Each transportation charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. The prosecution previously asked that Diddy serve any potential sentence consecutively, meaning he may face a maximum of 20 years in prison. (Diddy’s sentencing date has yet to be announced.)

The 12-person jury — consisting of eight men and four women — began their deliberations on Monday, June 30, in regards to Diddy’s highly publicized sex trafficking trial.

While the jury reached a verdict on four of the five counts on Tuesday, July 1, they remained deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge. After receiving additional instructions from the judge, they briefly continued deliberating on Wednesday before reaching a verdict on all counts.

After the verdicts were read, Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo asked for the immediate release of the rapper so he could be allowed to return to his Miami Beach home on Star Island.

“His family is here and could sign a bond,” Agnifilo told the judge. “He should be released today.”

When Subramanian asked, “Are you proposing he just walk outside now?” Agnifilo replied, “Yes.”

“He is no longer charged with sex trafficking or racketeering,” the defense attorney added. “His plane has been chartered — it is in Maui. He does not have access to his plane. This is his first conviction, and it is a prostitution offense. He should be released.”

Legal Experts Questioned Whether Diddy's Actions Were Criminal Pre-Verdict

Agnifilo requested a $1 million bond, which would allow Diddy to travel to New York, Los Angeles and Florida.

Prosecutor Maurene Comey, however, opposed Diddy’s release and reminded the judge that the jury found the defendant guilty on two charges.

“A person found guilty shall be detained until the judicial officer finds he is not likely to flee or be a danger,” Comey argued.

Utah Stars Who Have Been Open About Getting Plastic Surgery

2 July 2025 at 14:19

From Love Island USA’s Vanna Einerson to The Real Housewives of Mormon Wives Layla Taylor, a number of Utah stars have been candid about getting plastic surgery at young ages.

Take Demi Engemann, for example, who told Page Six in 2024 that “Utah’s known for having very minimal procedures done to where we still look natural.” The Secret Wives of Mormon Lives star noted that it’s common for women in the state to go under the knife “before we were 20 years old.”

Taylor, for her part, has been open about getting cosmetic work done on multiple occasions. She also told Page Six that she’s had a few “minor tweaks” including a tummy tuck, lip filler, chin filler and Botox.

Einerson, who is currently 21, told Nick Viall on his “Viall Files” podcast in July 2025 that she got a breast augmentation and has gotten her lips done.

On Love Island USA, she noted that many girls in Salt Lake City have similar features to her. “There’s a Utah girl stereotype,” she said while chatting with Ace Greene. He then asked what that entailed to which Vanna replied while pointing at her chest, “You’re looking at it! It’s me! All the girls are, like, tan, blonde,” she said.

In June 2025, Engemann opened up about her nose job, which she got in 2019. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star has also been open about getting a breast augmentation in 2024. At the time, she joked about her husband not being able to touch her chest for two weeks while she was healing.

Taylor, who stars on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, told Page Six’s “Reali-Tea” podcast that after wrapping season 1 of the show that she had a tummy tuck, lip filler, chin filler and Botox, which she considered “minor tweaks.”

In March 2025, Ngatikaura opened up about getting a nose job to reduce the size of her nostrils via Instagram. “People have been awful about my looks & it definitely affected my confidence,” she explained. “But I also had insecurities before that I wanted to tweak so I took care of them!"
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star also underwent a labiaplasty in season 1 of the show after giving birth to her second baby. “They're cutting it all off, tightening it back up. I'm getting a mommy makeover,” she said in a September 2024 episode. 
"A labiaplasty basically takes the inside of your vagina, the material that's a little more sensitive, and tucks it up inside,” Ngatikaura added. "Pregnancy kind of pushes it out and mine decided to stay there. And now after having two kids, even though physically I look back to normal, there are things that will never be the same."

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star got a breast augmentation but decided to remove her implants in 2024 after suffering a chronic illness. In January 2025, she celebrated one year of getting them taken out. 
"POV: It's been a year since you decided to remove your implants that sparked the beginning of a two-year battle with chronic illness,” she captioned a number of pictures and videos of her journey, including shots of her skin flaring up.

The Love Island USA season 7 star opened up about the work she had gotten done during a July 2025 episode of “The Viall Files” podcast after she received backlash from fans on her look. 
“Most of the things that people thought I got done, like my cheeks and my chin and my lips — lips, duh, I got my lips done,” she said. “I like my lips. But my cheeks and my chin, [I was] born with it.” Einerson added, “Of course I got my boobs done. I’m just a girl.”

“I have everything,” she told Andy Cohen during the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 1 reunion. “I have Botox, filler in my lips, these are natural,” she added while pointing at her chest. Rose also shared that she got a “mommy makeover” on her stomach after losing muscle during her pregnancy.

Shah got real about the work she had done while chatting with Cohen during the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 1 reunion. “I know everybody thinks I’ve done all this stuff to my face,” she said. “I haven't had plastic surgery.” Shah went on to share that she’s had “fillers and Botox and stuff,” and regretted not getting a nose job after her son Omar accidentally broke her nose when he was a baby.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, who is the owner of Beauty Lab + Laser, an infamous medspa in Salt Lake City, told Page Six in OCtober 2022, “I get Botox, filler in my lips. I get Sculptra, which is like a collagen stimulator.” She’s also been open about losing 25 pounds while on Ozempic. 

Diddy's Ex Misa Hylton Seemingly Responds to His Federal Trial Verdict

2 July 2025 at 14:14

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton has seemingly responded to the verdict in his federal trial.

On Wednesday, a 12-person jury convicted Diddy of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while he was acquitted of the arguably more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking. Diddy could face as much as 20 years behind bars for the two transportation convictions.

Hylton, 51, seemingly offered her reaction to the verdict via her Instagram Story, where she shared a quote from author Cory Allen: “Underrated life style: Knowing when to let your silence say everything.”

Diddy and Hylton, a fashion designer, were together in the early 1990s and share son Justin Combs, 31, who was one of the disgraced mogul’s family members celebrating outside a Manhattan federal court following the announcement of Wednesday’s verdict. (Diddy has seven children, in total. He shared son Christian, 27, and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, 18, with late partner Kim Porter, and he also adopted her son Quincy Brown, 34. He shares daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman and welcomed his youngest child, daughter Love, 2, with Dana Tran in December 2022.)

Every Celebrity Mentioned During the Diddy Trial: Madonna, Prince and More

Hylton previously offered support for Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) after she filed a lawsuit against the musician in November 2023, accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship, which lasted off and on from 2007 to 2018. Diddy denied Cassie’s claims. One day after the suit was filed, Diddy and Cassie, 38, settled out of court. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.

At the time, Hylton wrote via Instagram that she was “heartbroken” to see Cassie having to “relive the horror of her abuse” following the release of the surveillance footage.

“My heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” Hylton wrote in May 2024. “[Diddy’s children] were raised by women that want the best for them — we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams. Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them.”

She concluded by writing, “Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it.

Hylton eventually attended Diddy’s trial in New York City multiple times, where she was initially photographed using a walker due to a leg injury. Following some public backlash, Hylton insisted that she was simply supporting her son Justin at Diddy’s court session.

“God is good all the time! Yes, I’m good everyone I’m on my healing journey,” she wrote in May. “When I suffered my injury I had chosen to heal privately but when my son said ‘Mommy I need you’ I was right there for him, walker and all. I’m a MOTHER FIRST, FOR REAL and I am my son’s strength and thats just what it is. Plain and Simple.”

She continued, “Whoever doesn’t understand that just simply isn’t in alignment with me or anything that I’m about in life. I’m cool with that. I have a purpose filled life that I live daily. I make impact. I’m not concerned with insecure people attempting to project their insecurities on to me. EVER.”

Hylton encouraged anyone angry with her decision not to “let [Instagram] rule your life.”

Cassie Breaks Silence After Diddy Found Not Guilty of Sex Trafficking

Eyewitnesses told Us Weekly following Wednesday’s court proceedings that Diddy reached out to greet his family after the verdict was read, but he was prevented from interacting with them. The rapper was said to be in “ecstatic” spirits as he raised his hands in prayer.

Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo has already asked Judge Arun Subramanian to release the hip-hop mogul Wednesday as part of a $1 million bond package that includes travel restrictions to Florida, New York and California, Diddy surrendering his passport and undergoing court-monitored drug testing. Agnifilo promised that Diddy would return home to Miami and follow every court guideline if bail is imposed.

“He treasures, I assure you, the opportunity that he has been given, and he will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him,” Agnifilo promised the judge.

Both Cassie’s attorney Douglas Wigdor and prosecutors opposed Diddy being released on bail prior to his sentencing.

“Ms. Ventura believes that Mr. Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including herself, as well as to the community,” Wigdor wrote in a letter to the judge.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s defense team argued that he should be let out on bail because he “obeyed the Court, respected these proceedings and demonstrated model behavior” during his imprisonment at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center following his arrest in September 2024. (Four previous requests were denied by Subramanian.)

“The jury unambiguously rejected the government’s allegations that Mr. Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise or engaged in sex trafficking — the core of the government’s case,” Diddy’s lawyers argued. “Mr. Combs stands convicted of two Mann Act counts, and his sentencing exposure is substantially lower than when the government initially sought detention.”

Diddy was originally arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.

A federal trial started on May 5 and was largely based around testimony from Cassie and an unnamed Jane Doe accuser. Following two days of deliberation, the jury informed Judge Subramanian on Tuesday, July 1, that they’d reached a verdict on four out of the five counts but were deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge.

Former Prosecutors Downplay Likelihood of Diddy Getting Max Jail Time

The judge instructed the jury to continue deliberating before they ultimately returned a verdict on Wednesday morning. Judge Subramanian thanked the 12 members of the jury prior to dismissing them from the courtroom.

“I want you to know that it is inspiring to all of us,” Judge Subramanian told the jury. “You listened, you worked together, you were here every day, rain or shine. You did so with no reward, other than the reward that comes from answering the call of public service. That should give all of us hope.”

2 July 2025 at 14:10

Lindsay Arnold and husband Sam Cusick’s relationship dynamic has grown from high school sweethearts to mom and dad.

Arnold and Cusick got engaged while on vacation in Africa in December 2014. The following year, the couple tied the knot in Provo, Utah.

“I’ve loved Sam since I was 16 years old and today I officially get to spend the rest of my life with him — through giggles and tears, and every moment in between!” the Dancing With the Stars alum told Us Weekly in a statement on her wedding day in June 2015.

Since exchanging vows, Arnold and Cusick have expanded their family with daughters Sage and June, whom they welcomed in November 2020 and May 2023. As they’ve embraced their roles as parents, their relationship has gotten stronger over the years.

Keep scrolling for everything Arnold has said about her marriage over the years:

Being Best Friends

Arnold opened up about how companionship was the foundation of her and Cusick’s relationship.

“I truly think that is the key to a happy and successful marriage … on top of everything else your spouse should be your best friend,” she wrote via Instagram in January 2021. “I am so grateful for our friendship these past couple months with a newborn. It has helped us laugh off the tired cranky moments (from me) hahaha and have patience with each other while going through the (sometimes hard) firsts that come with being new parents. And it has brought us the most incredible joy being able to experience the special gift of parenthood together. This guy is my official bestie and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Arnold opened up about how she and Cusick have brought out the best in each other.

“Since day one Sam has always been my best friend and I truly believe that is what has gotten us through the challenges and ups and downs of marriage,” she captioned a June 2022 Instagram post. “Through everything he has been the person I feel most comfortable being my true self around and the one who loves me at my best and at my worst. Grateful for our love and for the life we have created together 💕.”

Her ‘Best Decision’

While celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary in June 2023, Arnold expressed her support for having Cusick by her side.

“8 years with the love of my life and my best friend ❤ beyond grateful for this guy he is the best husband and dad and I am very excited we get to celebrate him today for Father’s Day too🥹,” she captioned a snap of them. “The best decision I ever made was marrying this man and watching him as a father has made me fall in love with him over and over again ❤.”

In honor of Cusick’s 29th birthday, Arnold reflected on how she and her husband have grown since their teen years.

“Sam and I started ‘officially’ dating maybe two weeks before his 16th bday and I remember being so nervous about getting him a present like maybe it was too soon lol so I ended up dropping it off on his porch knocking on the door and running away cause I was so awkward 😂,” she wrote alongside an April 2023 Instagram Reel. “Here we are 14 birthdays later and I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for every single year I get with this man. We have experienced so much together and I wouldn’t want to be doing life with anyone other than him.”

Arnold gushed that Cusick “is the best husband and most incredible dad.”

“I really could not have dreamed I would get so lucky!” she continued. “I could go on and on and on about all the things I love about our guy he is everything and more and I’m so grateful for the life we have together, happy birthday baby ❤.”

Shutting Down Haters

Arnold sparked backlash online in June 2025 after she posted a TikTok video showing how Cusick made their bed, which included pillows on the floor and untidy bedding. While some fans appreciated Arnold’s humor, others did not. One fan replied, “Your husband should file for a divorce because of this video.”

The dancer fired back at the commenter with a follow-up video showing her and Cusick happily together.

“Good news Sam still loves me 😉my recent post ruffled some serious feathers in the comments haha but happy to report that it’s possible to joke around and still love/appreciate each other 🙌🏼,” she captioned the clip.

Joy-Anna Duggar Wishes Stillborn Daughter a ‘Happy Heavenly Birthday’

2 July 2025 at 13:48

Joy-Anna Forsyth (née Duggar) paid tribute to her stillborn daughter, Annabell Elise Forsyth, on what would have been her 6th birthday.

Joy-Anna, 27, took to Instagram to share photos from Annabell’s birth on Tuesday, July 1. The carousel included black-and-white snaps of the late infant’s feet and tiny footprints, as well as a photo of Joy-Anna holding Annabell alongside her husband, Austin Forsyth. In other photos, the couple was surrounded by their family as they mourned Annabell’s death.

Joy-Anna also included a mirror selfie where she showed off her baby bump, a video of her ultrasound scan and a photo of herself and Austin, 31, sharing a hug in the woods as they held a box with Annabell’s remains.

One slide featured a yellow rose and read, “Annabell Elise Forsyth, July 1, 2019, 2:39 p.m., 4.8 ounces, 7 inches long.”

Joy Duggar's Husband ‘Took a Lot of Heat’ for Not Wanting Her Labor Filmed 

In the caption of her post, Joy-Anna wrote, “Happy heavenly 6th birthday Annabell Elise Forsyth ✨👼🏼.”

Joy-Anna also shared many of the same photos on her Instagram Story.

Posting the photo of the yellow rose, she recalled that the hospital hung the flower on their door after Annabell was delivered.

“Her features were perfect … her little hands, fingernails, lips, tongue, ears, arms & legs,” Joy-Anna wrote alongside the photo of Annabell’s feet.

The Counting On alum also reposted the photo of herself and Austin in the woods and wrote, “This moment was so difficult. Burying her felt like we had to move on without her. I just wanted to hold my baby, but I had to let her go. I just held her wooden box tightly and bawled.”

Joy-Anna continued, “We were able to bury her in a special place on my in-laws’ farm.”

Joy-Anna and Austin announced in May 2019 that they were expecting what would have been their second child. However, the following month, the couple learned at their 20-week scan that Joy-Anna had suffered a miscarriage.

“Today marks one week since we heard these words,” the former TLC personality wrote on Instagram at the time. “’So this is your baby’s heart (pointing to the ultrasound screen). I don’t hear a heartbeat or see any movement.’ We had gone in for our 20-week ultrasound and gender reveal. It was a baby girl.”

Duggar Family: Meet the Next Generation

She continued, “Although we don’t understand why, God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time. Yes, it still hurts and we have cried countless tears, but we know that we can trust the Lord. In the words of King David after the loss of his baby, ‘I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me’ (2 Sam 12:23). We don’t grieve as those who have no hope because we trust that we will see this little one again.”

Joy-Anna also shared why they chose to name their late daughter Annabell Elise, writing, “Annabell means ‘God has favored me,’ and Elise means ‘God satisfies.’ What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus.”

Joy-Anna and Austin are also parents to son Gideon, whom they welcomed in February 2018, daughter Evelyn, whom they welcomed in August 2020, and son Gunner, whom they welcomed in May 2023.

Always Sunny's Glenn Howerton Weighs in on Dennis Serial Killer Fan Theory

2 July 2025 at 13:39

After 20 years, Glenn Howerton is finally weighing in on the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fan theory that his character, Dennis Reynolds, is a serial killer.

“Look, I don’t want to answer that question definitively, but I don’t think he is,” Howerton, 49, exclusively told Us Weekly at the PaleyLive: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 20th Anniversary Celebration on Tuesday, July 1. “In my mind he’s not. In my mind he’s just delusional.”

The actor explained, “[He’s] so afraid of not being in control that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to be in control of any situation more than that he’s an actual serial killer.”

Howerton has been playing Dennis since the show’s premiere in 2005 and throughout its 16 seasons, he’s raised several red flags with his actions.

Fans, therefore, have theorized that Dennis is a secret serial killer for saying things like, “We’re going to follow our victim then we’re going to jump her. Then I’m going to strangle her and you’re going to chop her into pieces” while getting into the mind of a killer during season 3’s “Mac Is a Serial Killer.”

During season 7’s “The High School Reunion Part 2: The Gang’s Revenge,” Dennis confessed that he randomly keeps “duct tape, zip ties and gloves” in his truck, raising eyebrows.

The following season, Dennis assumed the identity of Brian LeFevre after the gang finds his wallet at Paddy’s Pub. It is later revealed that LeFevre was murdered in the alley, and Dennis could have done it. (Dennis isn’t convicted and the murderer remains unknown.)

Dennis being an undercover serial killer is one of the longest-running jokes and theories surrounding the comedy show, continuing even to this day. During season 11, Dennis makes a clay sculpture he describes as “a woman’s head in a freezer, and it’s supposed to represent the preservation of love forever and ever.”

During season 12, Dennis is the prime suspect when a cat woman named Maureen Ponderosa is found dead in an alley. “Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer” is filmed a la true crime style and feeds into viewers’ long-held belief that he has what it takes to kill.

While Howerton played down Dennis’ suspicious activity and how it could point to serial killer tendencies on Tuesday, he was more open about some of his favorite moments from the show over the past two decades.

He told Us at the Los Angeles event that his “favorite” rant by Dennis is from season 5 when the crew is going up against college kids.

“I go back to my alma mater and try to join in with my old fraternity, and then I come back, and I rant and I’m screaming, ‘Savages idiots,’” Howerton recalled. “That was the first time we ever really had my character go that far with the ranting. And I remember it was Charlie [Day] that pushed me to really just go absolutely nuts. And I did, and it really struck us as very, very funny. So, I have a particular fondness for that particular rant.”

Breaking Down 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' Show Secrets in New Book

Howerton also pointed to “Frank Reynolds’ Little Beauties” from season 7 as his “favorite” episode to date. “That episode just cracks me up. It just cracks me up,” he said. “It just makes me laugh.”

Season 17 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia premieres with a two-episode special on FXX Wednesday, July 9, at 9 p.m. ET. Episodes available for streaming next day on Hulu.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Marital Home Is Off the Market

2 July 2025 at 13:38

The $60 million mansion that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez bought in 2023 is now off the market, one year after the former couple first listed their marital home. Realtor.com was first to report the news.

Us Weekly can confirm that the pair’s listing expired on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. The former couple can still relist the estate with another agent and it does not mean that the home is no longer for sale. It is also possible that they found a buyer off-market.

Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, put the mansion on the market in 2024, shortly before news broke that they had split. They finalized their divorce in January 2025 after two years of marriage and planned to split any profits from the sale of the house. Realtor.com reports they spent “millions” renovating the Beverly Hills estate.

The actor and singer initially asked for $68 million for the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home before slashing the price by $8 million in May. The 38,000-square-foot property boasts a tennis court, boxing ring and athletics facility (including basketball and pickleball courts), and a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse. It also has a separate caretaker’s residence, lounge, bar, pool and a 12-car garage that can fit parking for up to 80 guests.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Had 4-Hour Visit at Home They’re Selling: Report

An insider told Us when the couple purchased the home that they approached the market with “A-list requirements.”

“J. Lo likes big houses and wants enough space for visiting family,” the source said. “It also needs to be gated and private.”

Us reported in April that Affleck and Lopez were originally at odds over selling the home because Lopez did not want to reduce the price.

“Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is,” a source exclusively told Us. “But the real estate market is not there, and it’s not selling.”

Ben Affleck Buys $20 Million Home in Los Angeles Without Jennifer Lopez

Property records show that in March, Lopez purchased a home of her own in Los Angeles for $18 million. She told Access Hollywood in May that now that she’s single, she’s not necessarily looking for love.

“I [told Tiffany Haddish], ‘Girl, I’m not looking for no man,’” she said. “I’m happy right now. I’m not trying to ruin it, OK?”

Affleck and Lopez were originally engaged from 2002 to 2004 before splitting, then reuniting in 2021. They tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2022 and celebrated with family the following month in a ceremony in Georgia.

A Guide to Everyone Subpoenaed in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Lawsuit

2 July 2025 at 13:37

As Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s It Ends With Us legal battle continues, their respective camps have sent subpoenas to several famous faces.

Lively named Baldoni, her costar and director on 2024’s It Ends With Us, in a lawsuit later that year. The Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment and trying to destroy her reputation. Baldoni vehemently denied the accusations before filing a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, as well as her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Lesley Sloane.

Lively, Reynolds and Sloane each rebuffed Baldoni’s claims and filed motions to dismiss. Us Weekly confirmed in June 2025 that a judge ruled to dismiss his suit. Baldoni later declined to submit an amended motion, instead planning to focus on defending himself from Lively’s claims.

Amid trial prep, both Lively and Baldwin’s legal teams have sent out subpoenas seeking evidence of the accusations. Keep scrolling to see which stars have been subpoenaed so far:

Taylor Swift

Baldoni sent a subpoena to Swift, Lively’s one-time close friend, in May 2025 amid claims that she helped the actress take over It Ends With Us production.

“Taylor has always been Blake’s friend, but Taylor doesn’t have any involvement in the case. She wasn’t part of the movie,” a source close to Swift told Us in February 2025. “Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.”

The summons was later dropped after information was “voluntarily provided” to Baldoni’s team.

“[Taylor is] not talking about the case,” a second insider told Us in May 2025, adding that the pop star is “feeling an immense sense of relief.”

“It’s been a stressful few weeks for her and she seems happier and lighter since the subpoena was dropped,” the second source added. “Taylor has handled it with a lot of grace and is not solely focused on it. She’s moved on.”

Us broke the news that month that Swift and Lively’s friendship stalled as a result of the legal battle.

Scooter Braun

A source confirmed to Us in June 2025 that Lively sent a subpoena to the music manager and his HYBE America company to identify any information about the work crisis PR veteran Melissa Nathan allegedly did for Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios. (Nathan was employed by Baldoni’s team for a month.)

Candace Owens

TMZ reported in July 2025 that Owens received a subpoena from Lively’s team about any alleged communications with Baldoni.

“I haven’t received anything,” Owens claimed on her eponymous podcast that same week. “As of right now, I still cannot tell you anything [about the documents] because no process server has arrived at our door. … How could us covering the lawsuit that has already been filed [mean we’re involved]? We have nothing to do with your lawsuit. It’s our right to cover pop culture [and] whatever it is that we want as reporters.”

According to Owens, she has only mentioned Lively twice by name in her text messages  — once to praise her “flawless” pink diamond ring and another about plans to briefly discuss the lawsuit on a 2024 podcast episode.

Perez Hilton

TMZ also claimed in July 2025 that the gossip blogger was subpoenaed by Lively’s legal representatives.

“I take this very seriously,” Hilton said in a social media video. “I have not been served a subpoena yet, but I will comply with the law, and I have nothing to hide.”

Andy Signore

The film producer was allegedly sent a summons by Lively’s team in July 2025.

“My client has not been served with any legal process at this time. He runs a news outlet and is in the midst of creating an independent documentary IT ENDS WITH JUSTICE that has spoken to many involved in the case,” his attorney Nathaniel Broughty told Us in a statement. “Should service occur, we intend to vigorously defend against any claims and will protect the confidentiality of sources on BOTH SIDES — consistent with the principles of press freedom and journalistic integrity.”

Are Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy Feuding? Breaking Down Their Posts

2 July 2025 at 13:23

Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy’s recent online back-and-forth is raising eyebrows.

Badgley kicked off the chatter on Monday, June 30, by praising Fahy’s performance in her Netflix series, Sirens.

“So I don’t usually do this, but my wife [Domino Kirke] and I just finished Sirens. OK Sirens, want to give her her flowers,” he said in an Instagram Reel. “Now obviously there’s Julianne, there’s Kevin, there’s Milly, but this Meghann Fahy. This newcomer, this refreshing gawky beauty, love it, love you.”

Badgley was seemingly joking about Fahy being a “newcomer,” since they previously worked together on Gossip Girl, and she’s become a household name after starring on The White Lotus season 2. However, Fahy took to the comments section and played along with Badgley’s bit.

“Penn! This is so kind. Thank you,” she replied. “Tell Domino I say hi. And that her taste is flawless.”

That comment sparked a chain reaction as it turned into a full-on conversation between the pair. Fahy called out Badgley for calling her “gawky,” then teased him about his Netflix show, You.

“There you go again with that trapping thing,” she quipped. “Heard you did a lot of that on your show. I never watched it.”

Many fans speculated Fahy could be an upcoming guest on Badgley’s “Podcrushed” podcast. However, one day later, news broke that Fahy and Badgley would be starring in the film adaptation of Sarah Hogle’s You Deserve Each Other.

The romance novel tells the story of Naomi and Nick, who are engaged and fall out of love ahead of their wedding day. While neither one wants to call off the ceremony, the couple turns to hijinks and pranks to make the other one fold.

While Badgley and Fahy haven’t spoken out about You Deserve Each Other, their banter is seemingly them getting into their respective characters for the upcoming project.

Keep scrolling for a full breakdown on Badgley and Fahy’s trolling moments:

Bantering in the Instagram Comments

After Fahy interacted with Badgley’s video, the twosome went back and forth on the post’s comments section. Fahy kicked it off by saying hello to Kirke and complimenting her taste in television series. Badgley corrected her, saying it was “our taste.”

“Oops haha,” Fahy responded before questioning his description of her. “Gawky tho 🧐.”

Badgley explained he “meant it as a compliment.”

“Long arms are so gorgeous but historically less featured,” he said.

Fahy recommended that he “chill on the body stuff.”

“Whoa I’ve obviously been very supportive and complimentary but this feels like a trap,” he replied.

Fahy then pointed out he was acting like his character, Joe Goldberg, from You, from what she’s heard, despite not seeing the show herself.

“There you go again with that trapping thing,” she said.

‘Gossip Girl’ Call Back

One day after their conversation on Badgley’s post, the actor shared a new video making fun of him and Fahy previously working together on Gossip Girl. (Fahy appeared in one episode as the character Devyn.)

“Butterfly effect is crazy because if I’d never met Meghann Fahy on the set of Gossip Girl my life would be exactly the same,” he wrote alongside the clip poking fun at the trend set to Lorde’s song “Ribs.”

Fahy’s Response

Shortly after Badgley uploaded his video, Fahy took to Instagram to share a message for him.

“Penn Badgley is a 10 if you’re looking for a Temu Pedro Pascal,” she said while mispronouncing his last name.
