Princess Kate Middleton shared a rare comment on her cancer journey while speaking to fans after the royal family’s Christmas Day service.

“The amount of people who have written this year is extraordinary and I think cancer just really does resonate with so many families,” Kate, 42, said on Wednesday, December 25, per footage obtained by the Daily Mail.

While addressing a fan who worked in a cancer unit, Kate continued, “People like you are doing all the hard work out there. I’m hugely grateful.”

After one woman told Kate, “We’re all behind you, never forget that,” the Princess of Wales replied with a smile, “Thank you very much, [that’s] so kind.”

Kate also spoke with Karen Maclean, a 73-year-old who said she had “20 years of cancer.” Maclean told the outlet, “We just had a little talk about cancer, really. I’ve met [King Charles III] before. He said to me, ‘I can remember you,’ I’m thinking, ‘What!’ like, many years ago?”

Maclean noted that Charles, 76, and Kate seemed “very well actually, considering what they’re going through.” (Charles announced his cancer diagnosis in February after undergoing a routine prostate procedure.)

In March, Kate revealed her diagnosis with an undisclosed form of cancer. “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she said at the time. “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”

Kate completed her chemotherapy treatment in September and has since begun returning to work. Her husband, Prince William, confirmed in November that Kate would “be doing a bit more” in 2025.

King Charles References Health Struggles in Christmas Day Speech

William, 42, referred to 2024 as the most “dreadful” year of his life following two of his loved ones’ cancer diagnoses. “It’s probably been the hardest year in my life,” William said at an Earthshot Prize event. “So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult.”

The following month, Kate hosted her annual “Together at Christmas” carol concert and addressed her health battle. William as well as the couple’s kids Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, attended the service.

“I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had,” she told singer Paloma Faith. “The unplanned. But, I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times.”

Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods rang in the holidays with their blended family.

In a sweet snap uploaded via Instagram on Thursday, December 26, Anderson, 57, and Woods, 62, stood on a stairwell with their children surrounding them. The men rocked matching monochromatic navy blue loungewear while the women in the family wore long-sleeve striped pajamas.

Mark’s daughter Kelsey Anderson and her fiancé, former Bachelor Joey Graziadei, posed underneath the Golden Bachelorette alum and Woods. His other children, Matthew, Taylor, Pascal and Jordan, and her kids, Natalie, Emily and Alyvia, were also photographed. (Mark shared his kids with late wife Denise, while Woods coparents with estranged husband John Lind. The exes filed for divorce in May.)

“It’s giving hallmark Christmas movie,” Natalie captioned her Instagram Story pic, which Kelsey reposted.

Joey and Kelsey to Spend Christmas With Her Dad and GF Barbara Alyn Woods

While Mark and Woods have been tight-lipped about the status of their relationship, Graziadei confirmed their romance during the Friday, December 20, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast.

“We are going to actually spend it with Kelsey’s family and Mark’s new girlfriend as well … which is gonna be great,” Graziadei said. “Barbara’s awesome.”

The former Bachelor noted that it would not be the first time he and Kelsey met the One Tree Hill alum.

“We’ve gotten a chance to go out to dinner with her and her family, when Mark came to L.A.,” he said. “We spent Thanksgiving with my family. We’re spending Christmas with hers, and we’re excited for it.”

Mark Anderson and One Tree Hill’s Barbara Alyn Woods’ Relationship Timeline

After Mark was sent home by Joan Vassos on The Golden Bachelorette season 1 earlier this year, Kelsey commended her dad for trying to find love on the reality TV series. (Kelsey’s mom, Denise, died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.)

“I think that he grew a lot from it and I’m just really proud of him,” Kelsey told Us in October. “I’m also really thankful for Joan in helping my dad through all of this.”

Days later, Mark sparked romance rumors with Woods in October when they were photographed in matching Halloween costumes.

“When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby,” Woods captioned her Instagram post of the twosome as the Disney characters, referring to daughter Natalie, who was dressed as Grogu from The Mandalorian.

The pair has since offered glimpses of their time together and shown subtle support for one another. After Graziadei won season 33 of Dancing With the Stars in November, Woods took to her Instagram Story to celebrate him.

In her post, shrieks could be heard in the background after Graziadei and his partner, Jenna Johnson, were crowned the newest champions.

“CONGRATS @joeygraziadei,” Woods wrote via her Instagram Story at the time, alongside a clip of Graziadei and Johnson. In the video, Woods tagged her three children, who were seen watching with their jaws open.

Several stars are soaking up the sun rays while celebrating the holidays in style.

Eva Longoria showed off her figure in a Melissa Odabash navy bikini with a drink in hand and sunglasses sitting atop her head. In another image, Longoria sat on a chair in the same beach outfit and laughed while looking off in the distance.

“Out of office ,” she captioned the Thursday, December 26, Instagram snaps, which included pics of her and husband José Bastón and son Santiago, 6. (Longoria is also a stepmom to Bastón’s three kids from his first marriage, Natalia and twins Mariana and Jose Antonio.)

Natalie Portman, meanwhile, was all smiles as she frolicked in the ocean in St. Barts on Wednesday, December 25. Portman was spotted wearing a black bikini and goggles as she stepped into the water on her vacation.

Michael Bolton is cozying up with his loved ones on Christmas.

In an image shared via Facebook on Wednesday, December 25, Bolton, 71, sat on a couch alongside his family with a Christmas tree visible in the background. (Bolton shares daughters Isa, Holly, and Taryn with ex-wife Maureen McGuire. He is also a grandfather.)

The family rocked Christmas-themed loungewear as Bolton donned a red Santa hat and Grinch shirt underneath a black jacket. A light blue blanket, featuring presents, snowmen and trees, laid on his lap.

“Sending warm wishes for a holiday season filled with peace, love, and joy. May the New Year bring health, happiness, and countless moments to cherish,” Bolton captioned his post. “Here’s to fresh starts and beautiful moments in 2025!”

Michael Bolton Had ‘Immediate Surgery’ After Brain Tumor Diagnosis

Bolton’s festive snap came nearly one year after he shared he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

“I want to start by wishing everyone a very happy and healthy new year! I also want to share that 2023 ended up presenting me with some very unexpected challenges. Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery,” Bolton wrote via Facebook in January. “Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success.”

Bolton said he was “recuperating at home” while spending time with his loved ones and noted that he still has a long road ahead of him toward a full recovery.

“For the next couple of months, I will be devoting my time and energy to my recovery which means I’ll have to take a temporary break from touring,” he explained. “It is always the hardest thing for me to ever disappoint my fans or postpone a show, but have no doubt I am working hard to accelerate my recovery and get back to performing soon.”

Bolton concluded his message by expressing gratitude for “the love and support” he’s received from his fans through the years. Three months later, Bolton shared an update on his health.

“Hi everyone, just a quick update that I am healing well and doing better every day. I’ve been enjoying the company of my daughters and grandkids during this time at home, and practicing on my putting green whenever it’s not raining!” he wrote via Facebook in March. “Thank you all so much for all the kind messages and I hope to see you very soon!!”

Bolton signed the message, “MB … with lots of time, love and tenderness.”

Kaley Cuoco is soaking up Christmas with 20-month-old daughter Matilda and fiancé Tom Pelphrey.

In a sweet video shared via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 25, Cuoco, 39, and Pelphrey, 42, each held Matilda’s hand as they rounded the corner into the family room. Matilda dropped both of their hands before taking off into a run toward her presents underneath the Christmas tree.

As Matilda held her stuffed animal in one arm and checked out her gift with her other arm, the camera panned over to Cuoco and Pelphrey. Cuoco, who rocked matching Grinch pajamas with her family of three, was seen smiling at her daughter.

“When you see what the ‘ho ho’ brought you for the first time,” Cuoco wrote.

In another Instagram Story upload, Cuoco and Pelphrey posed for a selfie with Matilda. “@tommypelphrey Thank u @poshpeanut for Tildys favorite Grinch pjs!” she wrote.

In the next snap, Matilda smiled for the camera while closing her eyes. Cuoco placed a “happy girl” GIF over the snap.

Matilda was also seen smiling as she played with a pink truck. “That new car no license feeling lol,” Cuoco wrote.

Cuoco and Pelphrey confirmed their relationship in May 2022 after meeting through their talent manager.

“We have the same manager, this is a very Hollywood story I know. My manager was submitting different clients and asked me if I knew who Tom was, and she goes, ‘Side note, he’s single,’” Cuoco recalled during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that September. “Months had gone on and we’d never met, and I was promoting Flight Attendant with that same manager, who is his manager. [She asked], ‘I’m going to the Ozark premiere. Do you want to come with me?’

She continued, “So I got all dressed up and I was standing there. I was at the bathroom and I was waiting and I hear this voice — it was Tom — and he’s like, ‘Where’s this Kaley?’ It was, like, love at first sight.”

Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey Cuddle Daughter Matilda on Her 1st Christmas

Cuoco and Pelphrey welcomed daughter Matilda in March 2023. The following year, Pelphrey popped the question to The Big Bang Theory alum. “Amazing weekend,” Cuoco wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing images from the proposal.

While Cuoco and Pelphrey are not in a rush to say “I do,” the pair does plan to have more children.

“They will definitely have another down the line; it’s just a case of when,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2023. “For now, Kaley’s savoring her time with Matilda and counting her blessings to be raising this beautiful baby. She is in heaven, and each day just gets better and better. [Matilda] giggles all the time [and] brings joy to everyone around her and has a very charismatic personality.”

Tia Mowry is reflecting on navigating coparenting during the holidays after her divorce from ex-husband Cory Hardrict.

“Happy Holidays from my family to yours! . Co-parenting during the holidays is a journey — one that’s filled with a mix of emotions,” Mowry, 46, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, December 24. “It’s different, and yes, it can feel challenging and even lonely at times, especially when you’re adjusting to a new family dynamic.”

Mowry noted that she’s “found the beauty in it” as time has passed. “It’s an opportunity for my kids to build meaningful relationships with both parents, and for me, it creates space for self-discovery, healing, and rejuvenation,” she wrote.

Alongside the message, Mowry posed in matching red plaid pajamas with son Cree, 13, and daughter Cairo, 6, whom she shares with Hardrict, 45. The carousel of snaps featured solo images of the two children and Mowry posing beside the Christmas tree.

“I’ll admit, as a single mom, I sometimes feel the weight because our family doesn’t look like others. But you know what? That’s OK,” she wrote. “Different doesn’t mean less than. The most important thing is keeping the traditions alive for my children — because no matter how it looks, we are still family. .”

Mowry concluded her caption with a message to “anyone navigating co-parenting or a new chapter this holiday season,” adding, “Know that you’re not alone.”

“There’s joy to be found, even in the transitions,” she wrote. “Let’s keep creating those special moments for our kids, no matter what. .”

Mowry tied the knot with Hardrict in 2008 after eight years together. She shared in October 2022 that the pair decided to call it quits. The exes finalized their divorce in April 2023.

Tia Mowry Gets Emotional About 'Recovering' From Cory Hardrict Divorce

“I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children. I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives.”

Following their split, Mowry has been candid about how she and Hardict navigate coparenting.

“I talk to [Cory] every single day. We tell each other [that] we love each other every single day,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2022. “He is family and he will always be family and a part of our lives forever.”

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney are embracing their first Christmas as a family of four, chaos and all.

In a carousel of snaps shared via Instagram on Wednesday, December 25, Munn, 44, held up daughter Méi as she pressed a kiss to the infant’s cheek. In another image, Mulaney, 42, stood near the Christmas tree as he closed his eyes and kissed Méi’s head.

“The house is a mess, Malcolm got safety glasses personally from the penguins of Madagascar and Méi is 100 days old today,” Munn wrote. “All my Christmas wishes came true. .”

The couple’s 3-year-old son, Malcolm, was seen enjoying his gifts on the floor. The toddler wore safety glasses as he stared intently at a snow globe while boxes and wrapping paper lay beside him.

Munn also included a video of their home’s living room, which featured opened gifts scattered across the floor. “The house is a mess, and I think this is how we can determine that Christmas was a success,” Munn said in the video.

Before the night came to an end, Munn shared a video of her dancing while holding Méi. At the end of the clip, Munn gave her daughter a kiss. “Everyone’s asleep but we still have more Christmasing to do ,” she captioned the Instagram video.

“Was up late last night with this little one,” Munn wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, December 26, alongside the video. “And up sooo early with this one,” she wrote alongside a selfie of her in bed with Malcolm.

Munn and Mulaney have a lot to celebrate this year. The twosome tied the knot in July after dating for three years.

John Mulaney Shares Adorable Video Burping His Baby Girl

Mulaney confirmed they exchanged vows during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers in August, gushing, “I got married. Thanks a lot. It’s the best.” The comedian called the moment the “greatest single time in my life.”

In September, Munn and Mulaney welcomed daughter Méi via surrogate. “I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother,” Munn, who previously had a hysterectomy following her breast cancer battle, wrote via Instagram. “She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true.”

She continued, “I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us. My heart has exploded. Méi (pronounced may) means plum in Chinese 梅.”

Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess celebrated Christmas with their kids by their side.

In a sweet snap posted via Instagram Wednesday, December 25, Green, 51, wore a white T-shirt and red printed pajama pants as he kneeled on the floor while helping his youngest son, Zane Walker. Green and Burgess’ 2-year-old had his back to the camera, but his matching pajamas were visible.

Behind the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, Green and his ex-wife Megan Fox’s children Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, stood by the Christmas tree — with two of them sporting the same loungewear.

“Merry Christmas everyone,” Burgess, 39, wrote via her Instagram Story, alongside heart and tree emojis. (Green popped the question to Burgess in July 2023.)

Green’s eldest son, Kassius Lijah, 22, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil, was not in the photograph. (Green and Marcil called it quits in 2003 after four years together.)

Over the years, Green has been candid about navigating coparenting with his exes. “The number one [rule],” Green told E! News in April, “is always make sure that everything is centered around the experience of the kids.”

He continued, “People make a mistake of thinking that they’re gonna do things so the separation doesn’t affect the kids and, of course, it’s gonna affect the kids. The only choice you have is how it affects the kids.”

While Green and Fox are amicable, he noted that they do sometimes need to “pick [their] battles” and put their kids first. (Green and Fox, who have a 13-year age gap, went their separate ways in 2020.)

“The person that you were with that you’re now separated from, you guys are separated for a reason,” he explained. “Because you didn’t get along. So, you can’t expect to then get along after the fact in raising your kids. So, you have to decide, ‘OK, it’s not about us getting along anymore. It’s about us coparenting, which is a totally different situation.’”

Green has shared that coparenting with Marcil, 56, however, has been “difficult from the beginning.” In a September 2023 episode of the “Old-ish” podcast, Green explained that he suffered from vertigo “for years” which made it hard for him to see their son. Marcil, for her part, claimed that she raised Kassius by herself.

While reflecting on fatherhood, Green told Us Weekly that he wishes he could “fix” a lot of the mistakes he and Marcil made while raising Kassius.

“There are two sides to all of it, and looking back on it, there were absolute mistakes made on both sides because we were young and new parents and didn’t understand,” he told Us in September 2023. “There’s a part of me that wishes I could go back and fix things, of course, but then there’s also a part of me that knows that if I hadn’t experienced exactly what I experienced in parenting, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Dave Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum, are planning to celebrate the holidays by each other’s sides.

“They are all spending Christmas as a family,” a source told People on Monday, December 23. Us Weekly reached out to Grohl’s rep for comment.

Months before the holidays, the Foo Fighters frontman revealed that he welcomed a child outside of his marriage with Blum. (Grohl and Blum, who tied the knot in 2003, share three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.)

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” he wrote via Instagram in September. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children.”

He continued, “I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward.”

Blum has not spoken publicly about the situation, nor addressed the status of their marriage. Later that month, she was spotted without her wedding ring, per photos obtained by Page Six.

Years before the paternity scandal, Grohl, 55, got candid about his initial meeting with Blum in 2001 — and said he knew she was his future ex.

“Some bombshell comes up and starts talking to [my bandmate] Taylor [Hawkins]. I was just out of a Tenacious D session,” Grohl recalled to Q Magazine in 2007. “I’ve got Vans trainers on, no socks, dirty shorts and a dirty T-shirt, surrounded by beautiful Hollywood.”

Grohl claimed that the woman waved her friend over, who was Blum. “I was like, ‘Oh my, God. Not a chance!’ So I’m just having some drinks and acting like a jackass,” he explained. “And by the end of the night, I was pissed and I’m staring at her going, ‘You’re my future ex-wife.’ So she gave me her number: ‘Jordyn, your future ex-wife.’”

Dave Grohl’s Wife Jordyn Blum Spotted Without Wedding Ring After Scandal

After the first encounter, Grohl said that he and Blum “saw each other a few times.” He added, “But I realized that this was the flag, the finish line and I’m like, ‘Oh, wait a minute.’ So I backed out.”

They ultimately rekindled their romance and exchanged vows. Prior to his marriage to Blum, Grohl wed Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in 1994. The twosome went their separate ways three years later after Grohl admitted to being unfaithful.

This wasn’t the first time Grohl allegedly cheated. His ex-girlfriend Tina Basich claimed that he stepped out of their two-year-long relationship.

“I don’t know how anyone in his profession can have a normal relationship with a girlfriend … or two, as it turned out,” Basich wrote in her 2003 memoir Pretty Good for a Girl. “I found out secondhand, through the grapevine, when it seemed like everyone else in the world knew about it but me. … All I got was a five-minute phone call from him, after five weeks of me calling and trying to get ahold of him because I just had to know if these rumors were true and had to hear it straight from the source.”

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer is speaking out again after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit accusing the It Ends With Us director and star of sexual harassment — and of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation.

“TAG PR operated as any other crisis management firm would when hired by a client experiencing threats by two extremely powerful people with unlimited resources,” Bryan Freedman said in a statement to Us Weekly. (TAG PR, also known as The Agency Group PR, was hired by Baldoni and is one of several firms named in the lawsuit.)

Freedman continued, “The standard scenario planning TAG PR drafted proved unnecessary as audiences found Lively’s own actions, interviews and marketing during the promotional tour distasteful, and responded organically to that which the media themselves picked up on.”

In the statement, Freedman claimed that the text exchanges between Baldoni and his PR team in the lawsuit were taken out of context.

Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni Texted About Ruining Her Reputation

“It’s ironic that the New York Times, through their effort to ‘uncover’ an insidious PR effort, played directly into the hands of Lively’s own dubious PR tactics by publishing leaked personal text exchanges that lack critical context — the very same tactics she’s accusing the firm of implementing,” Freedman concluded.

The lengthy court documents filed on Friday, December 20, were first published by The New York Times on Saturday, December 21. The docs reference “thousands of pages of text messages and emails” that Lively reportedly obtained through a subpoena — though Freedman now claims they were leaked. In response to that claim and Freedman’s newest statement, a member of Lively’s legal team tells Us: “The subpoena disclosed and referenced in the Complaint was served on Jonesworks LLC. The internal documents referred to in the Complaint were produced subject to that subpoena. We expect that further details regarding the subpoena process will be disclosed during discovery.”

One of the alleged text messages making headlines include a publicist working with the studio and Baldoni writing to a crisis management expert, “He wants to feel like she can be buried.”

The paperwork goes on to allege that “this plan went well beyond standard crisis PR,” claiming Baldoni’s team proposed a concept called “‘astroturfing,’ which has been defined as ‘the practice of publishing opinions or comments on the internet, in the media, etc. that appear to come from ordinary members of the public but actually come from a particular company or political group.’”

Justin Baldoni Used Hailey Bieber Example In Blake Lively ‘Astroturfing’ Plan

According to the docs, Baldoni “set the narrative for the social media campaign.” In one example, Baldoni appeared to use a social media post about Hailey Bieber “that had accused another female celebrity of bullying women.” Baldoni wrote in the text, “This is what we would need.”

Baldoni also mentioned Taylor Swift while messaging with his crisis management team, with a scenario planning document from Baldoni’s side seemingly stating, “Our team can also explore planting stories about the weaponization of feminism and how people like Taylor Swift, have been accused of utilizing these tactics to ‘bully’ into getting what they want.”

According to the docs, Lively experienced a series of inappropriate actions on set, from Baldoni allegedly adding sex scenes and nudity to the script to making crude comments to unwanted kisses in scenes between their two characters. As a result, Lively and several cast members opted to do press independently from Baldoni, in addition to unfollowing him on social media. Fans started to notice the rift around the August release date, which worried Baldoni.

When “nearly all cast members chose to appear in public separately from Mr. Baldoni given his on-set behavior,” per the docs, Baldoni allegedly “became concerned that the public would discover that “something is much bigger under the surface.”

Taylor Swift Mentioned in Justin Baldoni's Alleged Blake Lively Takedown Plan

He went on to allegedly alter his own social media strategy, too. “After the Film’s premiere, Mr. Baldoni changed his Instagram profile, cancelled lighthearted social media posts, and instructed his team to look for survivors reactions and support — all in an effort to quickly shift his own public narrative to focus solely on survivors and domestic violence organizations,” the docs state.

Following the lawsuit being filed, Freedman called Lively’s accusations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us, claiming that Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production.

Us reached out to Lively’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. In a statement to The New York Times regarding her lawsuit, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Blake Lively claimed she was not the only cast member to complain about Justin Baldoni’s alleged behavior on the set of It Ends With Us.

In the lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, December 20, and obtained by Us Weekly, the introduction noted that the “concerns she raised were not only for herself, but for the other female cast and crew, some of whom had also spoken up.” (The docs alleged that there was a January meeting to discuss the “hostile work environment.”)

“As result of Mr. Baldoni’s behavior, on May 29, 2023, another cast member lodged a sexual harassment complaint about Mr. Baldoni’s ‘gross’ and ‘unwanted comment[s]’ towards her and others,” the lawsuit read.

In the docs, where Lively, 37, sued Baldoni, 40, for sexual harassment, she alleged that early in the production “another actress made a complaint about Mr. Baldoni’s comments on her appearance.” (It is not clear whether it is the same cast member as the May 2023 complaint.)

Blake Lively Sues It Ends With Us’ Justin Baldoni for Sexual Harassment

“Mr. Baldoni expressly acknowledged her concerns in writing, stating he would ‘adjust accordingly,’” the docs read. “Yet on June 8, 2023, that actress informed Ms. Lively that ‘outside of anything in a scene, I actually cannot talk to Justin at all.’ Mr. Baldoni later expressed suspicion regarding Ms. Lively’s friendship with this actress, as if they were colluding against him.”

The lawsuit details Baldoni’s alleged on set behavior, including referring to women in the workplace as “sexy.” According to the docs, when people on set “expressed discomfort, Mr. Baldoni would deflect or try to pass it off, which undermined Ms. Lively and others’ concerns.”

“For example, on one occasion that Ms. Lively observed, he told a female cast member that her leather pants looked ‘sexy’ when she arrived to the set,” the docs read. “When she rebuffed his comment because she was uncomfortable, rather than apologizing, he brushed it off with ‘I can say that because my wife is here today.’ Ms. Lively felt embarrassed witnessing this kind of commentary, as did others.”

In one alleged situation, Lively wore a “low-cut dress to facilitate breastfeeding, but had it covered up with a coat.” (Lively seemingly welcomed her and husband Ryan Reynolds’ fourth child, son Olin, in early 2023.)

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

“When the jacket briefly popped open at one point to reveal the dress, Mr. Baldoni commented about how much he liked her outfit, which flustered Ms. Lively,” the docs read. “Later that day, Mr. Baldoni pressured Ms. Lively (who was in her pre-approved wardrobe) to remove her coat in front of the crew and multiple background actors in a packed bar. He said wanted to see her “onesie” under the coat because it was zipped low to reveal her lace bra.”

The docs allege that Baldoni said, “I think you look sexy,” in a “tone that made her feel ogled and exposed.”

“With other female cast present, she said, ‘That’s not what I’m going for.’ He bristled and replied, ‘I’m sorry, hot,’” the docs read. “Deeply uncomfortable, Ms. Lively said, ‘Not that either.’ Mr. Baldoni, responded sarcastically, ‘I guess I missed the HR meeting,’ and walked away.”

Afterwards, another woman on the production allegedly spoke with Lively to “offer empathy and to share her own similar experiences with Mr. Baldoni commenting about her in sexual terms.”

How Blake Lively Referenced Her and Ryan Reynolds' Kids in Baldoni Lawsuit

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, called Lively’s accusations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us. He claimed that Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about It Ends With Us’ production.

Freedman alleged that Lively made “multiple demands and threats” while filming the movie, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

Us reached out to Lively’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. In a statement to The New York Times regarding her lawsuit, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Tom Sandoval is ringing in the holidays with his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, by his side.

In the Instagram Story video reshared on Monday, December 23, Sandoval, 42, leaned over a table that featured a line of numerous lit candles. A decorated Christmas tree was visible in the background as family members were seen chatting.

While saying “Merry Christmas,” Sandoval attempted to blow out all of the candles in the line — and nearly did. Only five candles remained lit after his try, which received praise from his family members.

“Had to try this w his fam,” Robinson captioned the upload, tagging Sandoval and the location as St. Charles, Missouri.

Sandoval and Robinson’s holiday festivities came days after she appeared to suggest that he cheated on her with a reference to his past affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, which ended his decade-long romance with Ariana Madix.

“Wow … you guys were right. Tiger never changes its stripes,” she wrote via Instagram on December 16. “He loves the best friends apparently. I feel like a fool. Completely heartbroken.”

Sandoval proceeded to go on Instagram Live and hinted at tension between the twosome. “Victoria is calling me,” Sandoval noted in a clip. “Definitely made a big mistake earlier.”

Hours later, Robinson apologized for her claims. “I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous post. I had a true misjudgment in a situation. Tom did not do anything,” she wrote via Instagram Story. “From my own personal trauma and experiences hearing false accusations about him all the time clouded my judgment and got the best of me.”

Tom Sandoval's Girlfriend Apologizes to Him After Cheating Accusations

“Please respect him and know he’s actually been the most supportive partner,” she continued. “The internet can be harsh sometimes and I’m learning how to block out the noise.”

Sandoval and Robinson went public with their relationship in February after he shared an Instagram photo of her kissing him on the shoulder. Robinson also uploaded a snap of the duo cuddling.

“This week, my addiction of the week is definitely my friend Victoria that I have been hanging out with. She’s definitely super awesome and she’s one of the sweetest people,” Sandoval shared on the “Billie and the Kid” podcast in February. “Obviously I have known her for a really long time, but we went on our first date last night.”

Sandoval gushed over Robinson’s sweet nature, adding, “That s— turns me on so much.”

“She is a model, she works a lot and she is very successful. She does well for herself but she is also very humble and really cool,” he said. “She is just a very sweet, thoughtful person.”

In the days following Blake Lively’s lawsuit against It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni, many have been wondering what the next steps are for the actress.

Ron Zambrano, the Employment Litigation Chair at West Coast Trial Lawyers who is not affiliated with the case, exclusively told Us Weekly that the Civil Rights Department will start its investigation and request a formal response with any evidence any of the defendants want to provide. (In the docs obtained by Us and filed on Friday, December 20, Lively, 37, accused Baldoni, 40, of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation. Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, called Lively’s accusations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us, claiming that Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production.)

“Then the CDR evaluates whether to do follow up fact gathering, require a mediation, or escalate matters to file on Lively’s behalf,” Zambrano said. “The latter likely won’t happen as she’s represented by two national firms known mostly for defending these types of claims.”

Zambrano pointed out that at any point in the process, Lively’s team can request “an immediate Right to Sue letter, which ends the CDR’s jurisdiction.”

Lively would have a year from the letter to file a civil complaint. “When that happens depends on the CDR, unless Lively requests one immediately,” Zambrano — who also weighed in on Baldoni’s possible next steps with Us —  said.

Zambrano explained that there are both economic and noneconomic damages Lively’s team could potentially be able to calculate. (Lively is currently seeking unspecified damages.)

“The [economic damages] is calculable,” he said. (The docs filed by Lively address how her businesses were allegedly affected by the online backlash she believes was encouraged and spearheaded by Baldoni. “For example, Ms. Lively canceled a critical Target corporate event for her hair care company [Blake Brown Beauty], and she backed out of her scheduled role to host the premier episode of the 50th anniversary season of Saturday Night Live in September 2024,” the suit reads, adding that “the sudden and unexpected negative media campaign launched against Ms. Lively depressed retail sales of Blake Brown products by 56 percent [to] 78 percent” while her other businesses were negatively affected because she felt forced to go dark on social media.)

As for the noneconomic damages, Zambrano told Us: “The latter is a number that is ‘told’ to us by Lively’s team is the value of her emotional distress or other human harm. It’s an art, not a science. What’s asked for in a complaint is not necessarily what is asked of a jury to award. Monetary demands in civil cases (unless it’s a business dispute) isn’t very consequential in my view.”

Blake Lively Sues It Ends With Us’ Justin Baldoni for Sexual Harassment

Zambrano noted that the Civil Rights Department may order that the parties mediate. “Whether they actually settle is up to the parties,” he said. “The requirement is only to participate in mediation. It’s always in the benefit of the defendant to resolve the case.”

Us reached out to Lively’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. In a statement to The New York Times regarding her lawsuit, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Blake Lively’s brother-in-law Bart Johnson is coming to her defense after she sued It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.

“Her complaints were filed during the filming. On record. Long before the public conflict. The cast unfollowed him for a reason,” Johnson, 54, alleged in the comments section of The New York Times’ Instagram on Saturday, December 21. “Read this article before spiting [sic] ignorance.”

“His PR team was stellar. Gross and disgusting but highly effective,” Johnson continued. “Read the article, their text message exchanges and his PR campaign strategy to bury her by any means necessary. No one is with out [sic] faults. But the public got played.”

Johnson claimed that “of course mistakes were made” and pointed to Lively’s many responsibilities, including being a mom of four to her and husband Ryan Reynolds’ children.

Blake Lively’s Brother-in-Law Defends Her Amid ‘It Ends With Us’ Drama

“But just IMAGINE being a stay at home mom raising 4 kids, married to the busiest man in Hollywood and at the same time being a girl boss running multiple companies while writing, producing, running non profits and working 16+ hour days from home so you can be with your kids,” he wrote. “Launching 2 new businesses you been working on / developing for many years (launch scheduled by distributors, not you, btw) all while getting attacked by a VERY expensive PR smear campaign because you filed a sexual harassment claim for the very film you have to go out and promote with just the right tone or you get cooked!?”

Johnson noted that it looks like Lively, 37, is “doing a hell of a job to me and trying to do good things for the right reasons.”

“But yeah let’s post from our couch how much we hate her for making mistakes,” he continued. “That makes sense. I mean, she’s been rude in these interviews that magically played on repeat. I saw it. None of us have ever been wrong or mean. Never. We should discount decades of good for those few bad moments. Glad the microscope isn’t on me every day of my life.”

In another comment, Johnson clarified what he meant by a “girl boss,” explaining the term “means a woman that is kicking a$$ as an entrepreneur and/or business owner in what has been previously dominated by men, and showing they are every bit as capable and qualified if not more so in that space. She’s my hero as is any woman charging it like this. You’re free to define it as you wish, but that’s on you.”

Robyn Lively Reacts to Sister Blake Lively’s Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni

Johnson’s comments came one day after Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni. In the lawsuit, which was obtained by Us Weekly after it was reported by TMZ and The New York Times, Lively accused Baldoni of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation. (Baldoni’s lawyer called the accusations “completely false” in a statement to Us.)

Johnson’s wife, Robyn Lively, supported her sister via social media on Saturday. “FINALLY justice for my sister @blakelively,” Robyn, 52, wrote via Instagram Story, sharing screenshots of a New York Times article about Blake’s lawsuit.

Johnson previously came to Blake’s defense after fans began speculating that there was tension between the It Ends With Us costars she was seen promoting the film with some of her costars — while Baldoni didn’t join for interviews or press opportunities.

In the comments section of Johnson’s August Instagram post, a user critiqued Blake for “promoting happiness in a domestic violence setting without any regard for any victims.”

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

“Ellen I’m really sorry you feel that way. I’m sure you have a huge heart and want the best. I can promise you the truth has not come out yet. Blake worked harder on this film than anything I’ve seen her do my entire life,” he wrote at the time. “Because it meant so much to her. The message is in the book. And in the movie. Not in short clips / interviews. She is the reason the message / this movie/ is getting out.”

Johnson also acknowledged that nobody is perfect. “Were mistakes made? Yes. I make mistakes in life,” he wrote. “But they aren’t under a microscope. Anyway, I respect your views. I got nothing but love for you. .”

After the response, the user thanked Johnson for his “lovely comment.” Johnson replied, “Thanks for that kind response Ellen to that Ellen. Means a lot. The truth hasn’t come out yet. It’s going to.”

Former Bachelorette Rachel Recchia is squashing romance rumors between her and Blake Moynes — again.

After “Almost Famous” cohost Trista Sutter said she will “always ship” the pair, Rachel, 28, admitted that people “always do.”

“He is like one of my best friends,” Rachel said on the Saturday, December 21, episode of the podcast. “We are so different. We have such different types.”

Rachel explained that Blake, 34, has a “wider range” of a type, while she prefers a “more feminine guy era.”

The Bachelorette’s Rachel Recchia Addresses Blake Moynes Dating Rumors

“Blake says I have to stop doing that. He’s like, ‘That’s why you can’t find a boyfriend,’” Rachel said. “[He’s like], ‘You need, like, a manly guy.’ I’m like, ‘I have not been looking for that so I’m trying to keep an open mind.’”

Rachel noted that she’s been dipping her toe back in the dating pool, but had no updates to share about her love life at the moment. “When I can, I will let you know,” she said. “I have been dating a little. There will be something to report, but not currently.”

In August, Rachel shut down speculation that she and Blake were more than friends after she was spotted supporting him at the 17th annual Oceana Seachange Summer Party with Nautica in Laguna Beach, California.

“We went to an event together. Everyone wants us to be a couple so bad,” she said on an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast at the time. “I feel like we always address the rumor over and over again. We’re still not a couple. We’re friends.”

Rachel Recchia Looks for Love Again in New ‘Bachelor n Paradise’ Teaser

Despite cohost Ashley Iaconetti noting that the duo “look really cute together,” Rachel said they hadn’t locked lips once. “He’s my most solid guy friend. I go to him for everything,” she explained. “Who would I go to then if we had that weird kiss, and then things got awkward?”

After not finding The One on previous seasons of the franchise, Rachel and Blake were both contestants on season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2023. The twosome decided to exit the show in week 4 when they didn’t find a romantic connection on the beaches of Mexico.

“We went to Paradise together. We’ve been friends and have done trips for over a year,” Rachel explained of their friendship. “If it was meant to be, I think it would have happened.”

Prior to the romance rumors with Blake, Rachel ended her and Gabby Windey’s season 19 of The Bachelorette engaged to Tino Franco but the twosome split after it was revealed he kissed someone during a rough patch in their relationship. Blake, for his part, was engaged to Katie Thurston in 2021 but they broke up months later.

Years after her season of The Bachelorette with Gabby Windey, Rachel Recchia had a former flame slide into her DMs.

“I got a DM from one of these guys who rejected my rose,” Rachel, 28, said on the Saturday, December 21, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast, noting that she received the message about a month ago. “He unsent the message, but I have a screenshot.”

While questioning why the contestant would send the DM, Rachel said, “If you’re going to send a message like that, which he’s also kind of apologizing in a way, say it with your full chest.”

“He starts off, ‘Yo. What’s up Rachel, so random, I know. I was literally just thinking about my time at the Bach house and all the regrets I have from not seeing things through. I definitely had to reach out because it’s something on my mind, and is something I’ve thought about for a couple years. What could’ve been and how fun things could have/be,’” she read. “‘So I’m just reaching out to see if you’d be down to chill and grab a drink or two and vibe out.’”

Rachel Recchia Reacts to Fan Recreating Her and Tino's Breakup

Rachel explained that she thinks the contestant is thinking about how he “totally lost the experience” of the show.

“I’m like, ‘You didn’t even give me a shot and so I will not be giving you a shot now,’” she said. “But you know what, we could have been something.”

Rachel explained that the former suitor, who follows her on Instagram, “chose to go home” during week 2 even though she “wanted him there.”

“I feel bad reading it, but you get me,” Rachel told cohost and former Bachelorette Trista Sutter. “That’s crazy.”

Rachel Speaks Out After Zach References Their Past — Again — on 'Bachelor'

While recalling her time as the lead with Gabby, 33, Rachel explained that the contestants split up between the two women.

“The boys, from what I gathered, didn’t know that once you didn’t get a rose from one, you didn’t get it from the other one,” Rachel said. “So, one guy said, ‘No,’ to my rose because he thought he could get Gabby’s, which, fair, and then it just tumbled.”

Rachel called this rose ceremony “the most humiliating night” of her life. “Your confidence is already like, ‘Do these guys like me?’ I’m so nervous, I’m doing this for the first time,” she said. “To have people be like, ‘I would rather go home than even date you,’ … it was horrible.”

From Rachel’s perspective, the men “really want to have power.” She added, “They’re so used to being the one to be the pursuer and it’s when it’s in our hands, I feel like it takes their masculinity away. When they feel like, ‘Oh, I’m not your front runner, I’m just going to leave because I don’t want you to reject me,’”

Rachel ultimately ended up accepting a proposal from Tino Franco on season 19 of the ABC series, but the pair called it quits when it was revealed he had kissed another woman during a rough patch in their relationship.

Kjersti Flaa, the journalist who previously said an interview with Blake Lively made her want to “quit” her job, has denied being part of an alleged smear campaign against the actress.

“OK, so I have to say something because now I see that things are starting to snowball and people start thinking that I had anything to do with the smear campaign against Blake Lively, that was orchestrated allegedly by Justin Baldoni and his team,” Flaa said via Instagram on Saturday, December 21, adding that she had read through the lawsuit and the alleged “dirty work” going on behind-the-scenes. “I just wanted to say I had nothing to do with it.”

Flaa said she was “shocked” and “appalled” by the text messages between Baldoni’s PR team that were included in the lawsuit filed by Lively, 37, on Friday, December 20.

“I would never take part in anything like that,” she said. “That’s such an insult to me.”

Journalist Calls Timing of Resharing Blake Lively Interview a 'Coincidence'

Flaa said she doesn’t want “to be a part of this,” noting that she shared a video from a previous interview with Lively and “that’s it.”

“Just wanted to put it out there,” Flaa captioned her Instagram post. “I have nothing to do with Justin Baldoni and his smear campaign against Blake Lively that was reported on by The New York Times today. There are conspiracy theories out there accusing me of being paid by his PR team to help with their smear campaign. None of this is true.”

News broke on Saturday that Lively sued It Ends With Us costar and director Baldoni, 40, for sexual harassment. In the lawsuit, which was obtained by Us Weekly after it was reported by TMZ and The New York Times, Lively accused Baldoni of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation.

Flaa released a lengthier statement via YouTube on Saturday, explaining that she “would never accept money to jeopardize my integrity as a journalist.”

Reporter Reveals Why Blake Lively’s 2016 ‘Little Bump’ Joke Was ‘A Bullet’

“I see how people are trying to make a connection here that I have been working with Justin Baldoni’s PR company because it’s just too much of a coincidence that my video was posted at that time,” she said, explaining that she “had a bad experience with Blake Lively” and decided to post the video after watching It Ends With Us.

In August, Flaa released a clip of Lively and Parker Posey from the 2016 Café Society press tour titled: “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.” In the clip, tensions grew between Flaa and Lively after the journalist congratulated the actress on her “little bump” and inquired about period costumes in the film.

“When my video came out, it added fuel to the fire against Blake Lively,” Flaa said, claiming that she had “no idea what was going on” on the set of It Ends With Us.

Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni Texted About Ruining Her Reputation

Flaa noted that she “never defended” Baldoni. “I don’t know him,” she said. “I never met him. Actually, I didn’t know he existed until It Ends With Us. So I have no sympathy towards any of these people that are involved.”

While pointing out specific text messages between Baldoni’s PR team in Lively’s lawsuit, Flaa calls the exchange “kind of disgusting.”

“The thing is, I don’t want anything to do with it,” she said. “I know nothing about Justin Baldoni. I know nothing about his PR team. And I definitely would never work with a PR team under any circumstances to put hate out there on the internet against someone, or to smear someone. I would never ever do that.”

Michael Jackson’s son Prince Jackson got candid about the legacy of his dad in a rare interview.

“I come from a very rich family history, and those are some big shoes to fill,” Prince, 27, told Associated Press on Thursday, December 19. “I don’t know if I ever could. But I wear it with … it’s like a badge of honor.”

Prince noted that he and his siblings — sister Paris Jackson, 26, and brother Bigi Jackson, 22 — have held onto a piece of their late father in various ways.

“My siblings and I, we each kind of got a piece of him in different ways,” Prince said. “For me, it’s that philanthropic kind of giving back, and that’s where I’m really passionate about. I just hope the work that we do makes him proud.”

Inside Michael Jackson's Kids' Lives 15 Years After His Death

Prince honored his father through cofounding the nonprofit Heal Los Angeles in 2016 while a student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Ahead of the holidays, Prince hosted an event at a Mattel toy store on Tuesday allowing kids to load up on toys to take home.

“It warms my heart when we see the kids smile at the end of the day,” he said. “So, it’s really fun.”

Michael welcomed Prince and Paris with ex-wife Debbie Rowe, whom he was married to from 1996 to 1999. Son Bibi arrived via surrogate in 2002.

While reflecting on Michael’s legacy following the 15th anniversary of his death, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the “King of Pop” would be proud of where his kids are today. (Michael died at the age of 50 in 2009.)

Michael Jackson's Kids: Where Are They Now?

“Some people could let nepotism get to their heads, but they are the complete opposite of that,” the insider said, while a separate source noted that Prince “loves riding motorcycles and his charity work.”

While Prince has been dating college sweetheart Molly Schirmang for over seven years, he doesn’t have plans to tie the knot anytime soon.

“Molly doesn’t care about Prince’s fame or who his family is,” a third insider said in April, noting that Schirmang gets along well with Paris and Bigi. “They want the same things out of life and are taking each day as it comes.”

While balancing his relationship with Schirmang, Prince also has a close bond with his younger siblings.

“They are each other’s best friends and all stick together,” the second source said. “Michael would be so happy.”

David and Victoria Beckham’s son Brooklyn is gearing up to celebrate Christmas with his family.

“The family will all be together in Miami this year, which will be lovely,” Brooklyn, 25, said in an interview published by The Sunday Times on Sunday, December 22.

When it comes to buying gifts for his family, Brooklyn shared he had a few ideas in mind. (David and Victoria, who wed in 1999, share sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper.)

“Maybe a bottle of wine for my dad, while my brothers are really into clothes and trainers,” Brooklyn said. “Last year we got Harper a travel make-up kit that she still uses, so something along those lines again for her.”

Do Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Really Spend $105K on Clothes Per Week?

As for his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Brooklyn noted that the couple has a routine for their gifts to each other. (Brooklyn and Nicola, 29, tied the knot in 2022.)

“It has become a little tradition for Nicola and me to buy each other really comfy matching silk pajamas,” he said. “We’ll normally wear them all day.”

Despite Brooklyn and Nicola opting to purchase pajamas for each other on Christmas, he recently set the record straight on a rumor that the twosome spend $100,000 per week on clothing.

“[A fan] wants to know if it’s true — OK, this is crazy — that you and your wife spend $105,000 on your combined weekly wardrobe,” Andy Cohen asked Brooklyn during a November episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

While shaking his head and laughing, Brooklyn replied, “No.”

“I was gonna say, what am I looking at here? What kind of coins?” Cohen, 56, quipped as he examined Brooklyn’s outfit, which included a black sweater, pants and a pair of Adidas sneakers. After Cohen asked Brookyln whether he had heard the rumor before, the model responded, “No, never.”

“Very good that we debunked it,” Cohen replied.

As Brooklyn navigates married life, he exclusively told Us Weekly that his dad shared some words of wisdom for him.

“My dad was just always [like], “Look, just always treat her like a princess,’” Brooklyn told Us in September 2023. He recalled his dad telling him, “Just talk and have fun. Enjoy each other and just work and do you guys’ thing.”

While reflecting on his relationship, Brooklyn shared his own advice. “I think one of probably the most important things that you can do in your life is find that someone and don’t let ’em go,” he told Us. “I married my best friend, so it’s just easy, fun. She’s always there for me. I’m always there for her. We support each other more than anyone. She’s the best. We’re very happy. First year has been great.”

Mrs. Doubtfire star Harvey Fierstein is opening up about his body transformation while taking a weight loss drug.

“At the most, I lost 120, and then I put 15 back on, which I’ve sort of stayed at that,” Fierstein, 70, told Page Six in an interview published on Sunday, December 22.

Fierstein joked that he considered the years of the COVID-19 pandemic to be his “free years” because he “existed on the screen of my Zoom.” During that time, Fierstein wrote his autobiography, I Was Better Last Night: A Memoir, and began quilting.

When he was at his heaviest, Fierstein shared that he was at about 310 pounds. Now, he’s at 200 pounds. While jokingly making a jab at Ozempic, Fierstein shared that he’s on a different type of weight loss medication called Zepbound.

'Mrs. Doubtfire' Cast: Where Are They Now?

“I’ve been skinny before, that’s the sad part,” he said. “I’ve been skinny, I’ve been fat, I’ve been skinny, I’ve been fat.”

While explaining why this weight loss time is different, Fierstein pointed out it’s “what the drug actually does for you.” Fierstein explained that he doesn’t feel like he’s “dieting” while taking the weight loss drug.

“I feel like a normal person,” he said. “I can go and have dinner with friends and not have to eat every piece of bread on the table and not then go have ice cream when I’m done with dinner. I know what it is to be full like a normal person.”

Fierstein noted that “people don’t understand that being fat is not a choice.” He added, “It’s something that your body is out of whack and this puts your body in whack. I’m a great believer in it.”

Whoopi Goldberg Says Mounjaro Helped Her Lose the Weight of '2 People'

Fierstein, who recently opened the Harvey Fierstein Theatre Lab at the Library for the Performing Arts, is best known for playing Frank Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire.

The movie, which is based on Anne Fine’s 1987 novel Alias Madame Doubtfire, follows Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams), whose wife, Miranda (Sally Field) files for divorce and he decides to spend more time with his kids by posing as elderly British nanny Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire.

Fierstein’s character Frank, helped him create the Mrs. Doubtfire costume. He has since starred in films and shows including Independence Day, How I Met Your Mother, Nurse Jackie and Bros. Fierstein reunited with Williams in 2002’s Death to Smoochy.

Years later, Williams died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63. Before his death, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease with early symptoms beginning in 2013. In the years since Williams’ death, Fierstein has continued to pay tribute to the actor.

“We lost this precious jewel 5 years ago,” Fierstein wrote via Instagram in 2019. “I miss him.”
