Jesse Williams argued in new court documents that he doesn’t need to notify his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee about any medical care their two children may obtain.
The former Grey’s Anatomy star, 43, was awarded full custody of their children’s healthcare in March, though Drake-Lee, 43, has since challenged that California court ruling as a “serious infringement on her parental rights.”
Under the ruling, Williams is not obligated to notify Drake-Lee about their children’s upcoming medical visits, though he is required to inform his ex-wife once treatments, such as orthodontic visits, have taken place.
Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Williams accused Drake-Lee of violating the court’s restrictions by “threatening” their 11-year-old daughter Sadie’s orthodontist. The actor claims his ex promised to file a lawsuit if the doctor “touches the children.”
Hollywood's Messiest Custody Battles: Brangelina, Usher and Tameka and More
Us has obtained new court documents filed on Friday, May 23, in which Drake-Lee requests “the immediate disqualification” of Williams’ attorneys on the grounds of “egregious misconduct by counsel that amounts to fraud upon the court, the systemic use of hearsay in place of any admissible or substantiated evidence, and repeated, escalating violations of [Drake-Lee’s] constitutional rights to due process throughout these proceedings.”
Drake-Lee maintained that she was not given the proper chance to respond to Williams’ request for medical custody in court, thus denying her “a meaningful opportunity to be heard and to assert her parental and legal rights.”
Her attorneys are additionally seeking to overturn the court’s April ruling because they say Drake-Lee was not given “adequate notice or time” to address the request.
Williams responded to Drake-Lee’s latest court filings by reasserting that he was given “sole right to obtain orthodontic care for Sadie without notification to Aryn,” but that he would “provide notification” to his ex-wife after any orthodontic or medical care was completed.
“Aryn is seeking an order to disqualify Jesse’s counsel and vacate Court orders apparently based upon what she claims is hearsay evidence. There is no emergency, no irreparable harm, and no immediate danger to justify Aryn’s requests on an ex parte [one party] basis,” his legal team wrote in new court documents, also obtained by Us.
Williams’ lawyers additionally argued: “Aryn is apparently claiming among other things that the Court’s orders were based upon ‘hearsay’ and should therefore be vacated. It is unclear what hearsay evidence, if any, Aryn is referring to. Notwithstanding, there is no irreparable harm, immediate danger, or any other statutory basis to substantiate Aryn’s emergency requests. Aryn does not present any credible evidence to show that the children will suffer irreparable harm and immediate danger if Aryn’s ex parte [single party] requests are not granted.”
Jesse Williams Feels a 'Duty' to Highlight 'All Things Black' and Positive
The former couple’s next custody hearing was originally set for May 29, but Williams’ lawyer has requested it be delayed until July 10 due to scheduling issues.
Williams and Drake-Lee were married from 2012 to 2017. After their split, the pair engaged in a lengthy divorce and custody battle that was finalized in October 2020.
The actor initially requested to alter their child custody agreement in September 2024 in favor of equal joint physical custody and more frequent visitation periods.

A pair of stretchy, mid-calf capris that she’s been wearing on repeat. “They’re just so easy to throw on with a flat,” she said, noting that while capris aren’t always flattering on everybody, the right fit can shift the look.

New couple Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley have officially made their red carpet debut — and they weren’t alone.
The country singer, 63, and actress, 59, walked their first red carpet as a couple while attending the “Orizzonti | Rosso” Exhibition Opening Dinner at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome, Italy, on Saturday, May 24.
Cyrus wore his now-signature locks down and underneath a black hat, along with a matching black shirt, jacket and pants. Hurley stunned in a pink gown featuring a plunging neckline and dramatic cape.
The pair, who announced their relationship via a shared Instagram post on April 20, were joined by Hurley’s son, Damian, who wore a striking red suit with a dramatically unbuttoned black shirt underneath. (Hurley shared the 23-year-old male model and actor with her ex, Steve Bing, who died by suicide in 2020 at age 55.)
How Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley Connected on an Emotional Level
On April 24, Cyrus was asked if his surprising relationship with the Austin Powers star was genuine.
“She’s a great human being,” he replied while appearing on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show. “If all we were [was] the friends that we are… I would take that. She’s so impressively brilliant.”
A source exclusively told Us Weekly that since debuting their relationship, the pair “are enjoying life together,” adding that they “wanted to make it public” and “have nothing to hide.”
A second insider told Us that the pair had “been dating for about four months” prior to their announcement. (The pair first met on the set of the 2022 holiday film Christmas in Paradise.)
Elizabeth Hurley is Ready to Introduce Billy Ray Cyrus to Her Family
“Liz’s friends have known about it for a while,” another insider added. “It’s not a new thing. She had sworn them to secrecy, and they didn’t tell anyone outside her tight circle.”
A source close to Cyrus also revealed to Us that “they’ve been friends for years, but it turned romantic recently. Things are going well.”
Cyrus revealed how the pair reconnected after previously working together, saying that Hurley reached out to him in 2024 via text.
“Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know…you got a friend in your corner,” she wrote.
Cyrus is coming off a dramatic split from his ex Firerose. The pair finalized their divorce in August 2024 and have each accused the other of verbal and emotional abuse, which they both deny. Cyrus is also contending with allegedly strained relationships with some of his children, Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison and Noah, whom he shares with ex-wife Tish Cyrus. (He is also dad to Christopher Cody, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Kristen Luckey.)
Elizabeth Hurley Gushes About ‘Surprising’ Romance With Billy Ray Cyrus
A source close to Cyrus told Us that the singer and actress have “both been through a lot in life and have bonded over life experiences,” adding that, “Liz is a very compassionate person, which Billy Ray adores.”
Damian has been supportive of his mother’s new relationship with the country singer, even going so far as to publicly comment on their PDA-filled Instagram posts.
“Everyone is happy Damian loves [Billy Ray],” a source close to Hurley told Us. Another source close to Cyrus told Us that “Damian is really happy to see his mom happy.”

Jussie Smollett is maintaining his innocence while settling his civil lawsuit stemming from his alleged 2019 attack hoax.
“Over six years ago, after it was reported I had been jumped, City Officials in Chicago set out to convince the public that I willfully set an assault against myself. This false narrative has left a stain on my character that will not soon disappear,” Smollett, 42, wrote in a statement shared via Instagram on Friday, May 23. “These officials wanted my money and wanted my confession for something I did not do. Today, it should be clear…They have received neither.”
He continued, “The decision to settle the civil lawsuit was not the most difficult one to make. After repeatedly refusing to pay the City, I was presented with an opportunity to make a charitable donation in exchange for the case being dismissed. Despite what happened there politically, Chicago was my home for over 5 years and the people became my family. Therefore, making a donation to benefit Chicago communities that are too often neglected by those in power will always be something I support.”
The Empire star went on to reveal that he had made a $50,000 donation to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts, a foundation that supports underprivileged youth.
Jussie Smollett Reportedly Checks Into Rehab After Jail Release
“This organization was my choosing and I’m comforted that there will be at least one winner from this experience,” he continued in the statement. Smollett also shared that he donated an additional $10,000 to the Chicago Torture Justice Center “who provides resources to communities healing from the violence of the Chicago Police Department.”
The Chicago Torture Justice Center confirmed the actor’s donation in an Instagram post on Friday.
“This generous donation from Mr. Smollett is so meaningful and deeply impactful as we celebrate and honor the 10th anniversary of the historic Reparations Ordinance in Chicago,” the post read in part. “This 10th anniversary offers us a moment of reflection on what is possible when we stand together and imagine a better future for our communities. A world that values healing and repair, instead of punishment and incarceration.”
The post concluded, “Again, we are so grateful to Mr. Smollett and every donor who supports this necessary work.”
Smollett reported that he had been a victim of an alleged hate crime in January 2019, claiming that two men confronted him with racial and homophobic slurs before wrapping a rope around his neck and pouring bleach on him.
Police and city officials, however, claimed the actor was behind the hoax hate crime, going on to accuse him of submitting a false police report and claiming he knew his attackers, brothers Olabingo and Abimbola Osundairo, who alleged they were paid by Smollett to stage the attack. The city sued the actor for $130,000 related to the police investigation into the alleged attack. Smolett denied the claims and countersued.
Jussie Smollett's Conviction for 2019 Alleged Hoax Overturned in Appeal
Smollett was found guilty on five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December 2021 and sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months probation in March 2022. Two years later, in November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the conviction, citing prosecutorial issues.
In his Saturday statement, Smollett maintained his innocence, writing that while he “was exonerated by the Illinois Supreme Court in a[n] unanimous decision and the civil case will now be dismissed, I’m aware that it will not change everyone’s mind about me or the attack I experienced.”
“However, despite arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent in the eyes of God and our criminal justice system,” the statement continued. “What I have to do now is move forward. I will continue creating my art, fighting passionately for causes I hold dear and defending my integrity and family name with truth.”
He concluded by thanking his supporters over the years, saying that their “prayers and belief in me mean more than words can properly express.”

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has no problem flying commercial.
According to a woman by the name of @ninavidavlogs on TikTok, Meghan recently boarded an American Airlines flight she was working on and left the crew a handwritten letter thanking them for their attention and service.
The Duchess is “so beautiful in person,” Nina said in the video, shared on Thursday, May 22. “She was so sweet. She wrote us a little handwritten note back. So we wrote her note that said, ‘It’s a pleasure of serving you. We love you real bad.’”
“And she wrote this note back that says, ‘Dear AA Girlies, thank you for the love, hospitality, and handwritten note. You know me well,’” the woman continued.
She went on to add that the Duchess of Sussex ended her personalized note with the words: “Forever Meghan.”
The Meghan Markle Debate: Why She's So Polarizing — And Can She Ever Win?
“You know, I can barely read this cursive, but look at this handwriting: it’s giving rich. It’s giving expensive. It’s giving princess,” she explained. “She also said she loved my nails and the captain on my last flight said they were intense. So, sir, it doesn’t matter what you think. The Queen says she likes them.”
In addition to flying among the common folk, Meghan, 43, has been promoting her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast. She was joined on the Tuesday, Mat 20, episode of her the podcast by her former stylist-turned-CEO of hair and beauty brand Kitsch, Cassandra Morales Thurswell. During the episode, the two reminisced about the former actress’ past career.
“I said, ‘Cassie, can you help make this stylish and give me a vibe?’ To which you said, ‘Yes,’” Meghan recalled of her time going to auditions for various roles. Thurswell remembered, “I had no idea what I was doing, but I really enjoyed our time together — it was so fun.”
“This is pre-Suits for me,” Meghan explained. “This is really early days when I was auditioning. And I just remember literally going through things, and you think, ‘OK, here are a couple staples that you need.’ This is important because it speaks to … you talk about not having a strategy, but always hustling. And being able to say, ‘OK, well, I don’t necessarily know how to do this, but I’m gonna figure out a way to be good at it.’”
Meghan Markle Stopped Watching 'Housewives' Because of 'Drama' in Her Life
One of Thurswell’s choices even helped Meghan out. “You called me and said, ‘I just found the best pair of black patent leather Louboutin wedge flats and they are $200,’” Meghan shared. “I remember going, ‘I cannot,’ and you were like, ‘I promise you, you are going to wear them.’ And of course, I wore those shoes until the red wore out. I wore those shoes on my final audition for Suits when I booked the part.”

Not every Love Is Blind couple is built to last.
After finding love and getting married during season 3, Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton announced their breakup in May 2025 after four years together.
“We’ve been separated for some time now and have [done] our best to work through everything privately and with care,” Colleen and Matt wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it’s been an emotional process for both of us.”
Weeks earlier, Colleen exclusively told Us Weekly that she and Matt dealt with “so many challenges” in their marriage.
“You have your own everyday challenges that you go through in a relationship and a marriage,” Colleen told Us in April 2025. “With everything, it’s definitely a pressure cooker, so you just have to be strong with yourself and with your relationship.”
Colleen and Matt are not the only Love Is Blind couple whose relationship fell apart after leaving both the pod experiment and the reunion hand-in-hand. Keep scrolling for more:

Katie Couric understands the pain that Today cohost Sheinelle Jones is enduring following the death of her husband, Uche Ojeh.
“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our dear friend and Today cohost Sheinelle Jones has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Savannah Guthrie announced on the show on May 23. “There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him.” (The couple shared son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.)
Couric, who cohosted Today from 1991 to 2006, also lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to cancer in the late 1990s. (Couric and Mohahan married in 1989 and went on to welcome two daughters, Carrie and Ellie, before his death at the age of 42.)
“I did everything I could to keep Jay alive,” Couric wrote in her memoir Going There. “Looking back, I wish I had done a better job helping him die.”
Katie Couric Becomes a Grandma as Daughter Ellie Welcomes 1st Baby
In the aftermath of Jones’ loss and as Couric and more current and former Today hosts and anchors give their heartfelt well wishes and support, here’s a look back at Couric’s own family tragedy and how she found a way to turn her pain into power.
Monahan was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in April 1997. Couric opened up about the months that followed in an essay for Option B, an organization that provides practical support for people who have suffered a loss, in November 2018.
“Nearly twenty years later, when I think of that Thanksgiving, it makes me cry. My healthy, handsome, athletic husband—the college football and lacrosse player—had become thin and gaunt, but was still impeccably dressed, with a tweed sports coat beneath a quilted Barbour jacket and brown leather lace-up shoes,” Couric wrote at the time.
In an interview with People published in 2021, Couric looked back on her first husband’s bravery as he faced the outcome of his diagnosis head-on.
“I was so worried about letting go of hope, because I didn’t want Jay to spend whatever time he had left just waiting to die,” she said. “I think it takes extraordinary courage to be able to face death, and I think I was too scared, honestly.”
Couric established the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance in 2000, two years after Monahan’s death. The organization has raised at least $800 million for cancer research since it was founded.
As a host on the Today show, Couric opted to air her own colonoscopy to shed light on the importance of the procedure — an act that resulted in a 20% increase in adults undergoing their own.
Couric said her daughters were surprised when she and second husband Molner got engaged in 2013. “I think they were a little [like] ‘Wow,’ because it’s been the three of us for so long,” Couric explained to Access Hollywood.
“They really think the world of John,” she also shared. “He loves them and so I think it’s all good and I think it’s going to be a while. And I’m focused on Carrie right now and her senior year of high school.”
Couric’s first grandchild was born March 2024 and named after Monahan.
“John Albert Dobrosky was born on his due date, Saturday, March 23rd at 8:23 am, just shy of seven pounds,” Couric captioned Instagram hospital pics of daughter Ellie, and her husband, Mark Dobrosky, holding their newborn. “He will be called Jay in honor of his maternal grandfather.”
In March 2025 she told Us Weekly, “When Ellie gets married or has a baby, or Carrie is going to get her PhD this fall, you know, I always think of how proud he would be of them. So, we think about him a lot.”
Baby Jay’s name was something that came as a surprise to Couric. “I was pulling for Katie. We didn’t know whether she was having a boy or a girl,” the TV personality joked. “I think [Ellie] was thinking of Jay, but it was a surprise. And his name is John Albert — Albert after Mark’s grandfather and Jay after Ellie’s dad. So, it’s a very meaningful and special name. And he’s super cute, obviously.”
Katie Couric Can't Believe She's 'Old Enough' to Be a Grandmother
Couric was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2022, sending her on her own cancer journey and adding another layer to her ongoing cancer research and treatment advocacy.
“June 21, 2022, was the first day of summer, my 8th wedding anniversary, and the day I found out I had breast cancer,” she wrote in an essay for her Katie Couric Media website in September 2022.
A month later, Couric revealed she was feeling “just fine” following the news.
“I just feel super lucky that it was diagnosed when it was, that I went, even though I was late, that I went when I did,” she explained, crediting her radiologist with helping her figure out what to do right away. “I was pretty stunned, and I think those words — ‘it’s cancerous’ or ‘you have cancer’ — do stop you in their tracks, but she told me it was treatable. We needed to have a plan.”
Couric shared an update in 2023 and announced she was cancer-free. She told People, “I was very fortunate. My cancer was caught very, very early when it’s most treatable, and if I can just be an advertisement for people to get screened, to get their mammography done, to talk to their doctors, and if they have dense breasts, to get additional screening.”
