Former Bachelor Grant Ellis is weighing in on ex Jenn Tran’s viral TikTok reaction to a user claiming the franchise is in “shambles” because of the two of them.
“I think that everything has a beginning and everything has an end and I’m not saying that this is the end,” Grant, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Wednesday, May 21, Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event. “I just think that especially with leads that are of a different ethnicity, it is a little bit partial judgment, which is fine.”
He continued, “But at the end of the day, Jenn was a success story. She found happiness. I’m a success story. I found my fiancé. So in my book, we’re winning.”
After Jenn, 27, sent Grant packing on season 21 of The Bachelorette in 2024, she accepted a proposal from Devin Strader. After production wrapped, Jenn revealed at the live After the Final Rose ceremony that he ended their engagement over the phone. Devin, 29, went on to release a 13-minute video filled with their text messages, which he has since issued an apology for.

Grant, for his part, starred as the lead of The Bachelor season 29, where he got engaged to Juliana Pasquarosa in the finale. As his season aired, news broke that The Bachelorette would be skipping a season. Us understood that it was unlikely The Bachelorettewould return in 2025, with the reason for the show’s hiatus not revealed at the time.
As ABC rolled out several renewals and cancellations earlier this month, the network has yet to reveal the status of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette — while spinoff show Bachelor in Paradise will return for season 10. Golden Bachelor season 2 is also set to premiere later this year, starring former NFL playerMel Owens.
While reacting to a user claiming she and Grant were the reason behind the franchise’s uncertainty, Jenn said in a TikTok earlier this month, “No, no, no, you guys are looking at this all wrong.”
“I was actually such an amazing Bachelorette and my relationship ended in such success that they can simply never find anyone to replace me because my season will be forever ingrained in your little brains and you’re never going to get out of your heads,” she quipped. “Thank you.”
She captioned her post, “Say it with me, long live Jenn Tran the last Bachelorette to ever cry tears on ur TV.”
Grant, for his part, is enjoying spending time with Juliana, 29, post-show — even when the online conversation about their relationship can be “tough.”

“Whatever people have to say, they’re always going to talk. So just lead with love,” Grant told Us on Wednesday. “That’s what me and Jules do really well. So whatever people say, they don’t really know like that.”
As Grant and Juliana begin planning for their upcoming wedding, he showed his support for the Los Angeles community and pal JD Slajchert at the Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event.
“I think showing support for LA and showing support for the community is big, and to have somebody spearhead an event like this and kind of show me what LA is about,” he noted. “I’m from Houston. So it has been really important to do that and to give back. And that’s what this is all about and that’s what JD is all about. So it’s a really big thing for me.”
William, 42, and Kate, 43, along with their three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 6 — reportedly welcomed a litter of puppies, according to The Sun.
The British outlet reported that the family’s cocker spaniel, Orla, gave birth to a handful of puppies and that the children were “very excited” about the family’s newest canine companions. Neither William, Kate nor the palace have publicly addressed the arrival of the new pets.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were initially gifted Orla by Kate’s brother, James Middleton, in 2021 after the death of their beloved pooch, Lupo.
“Very sadly last weekend our dear dog, Lupo, passed away,” William and Kate wrote via Instagram in November 2020. “He has been at the heart of our family for the past nine years and we will miss him so much.”
Lupo was also a present from James, 38, who has multiple dogs of his own. Many of James’ pets, including late dog Ella, have helped him manage his mental health struggles.
“Nothing can ever prepare you for the loss of a dog. For those who have never had a dog, it might be hard to understand the loss,” James noted in his own Instagram tribute after Lupo’s death. “However, for those who have loved a dog know the truth: a dog is not just a pet; it is a member of the family, a best friend, a loyal companion, a teacher and a therapist.”

He added, “There isn’t much of a rule book on how to grieve for a dog, but I’ve said a prayer, lit a candle and taken Ella (Mum) for a long walk to spend time remembering Lupo. Rest in peace, Lupo. Tilly and Mini will be waiting for you. You will always be remembered and your legacy will live on forever. Good Boy.”
Orla has since been able to provide William and Kate solace since Lupo’s passing. In October 2024, the couple even teased that she often sleeps in their bed.
“[William] said that his little dog sleeps on the bed with them at night, with him and Kate,” a royal fan told Hits Radio Cornwall in October 2024 after meeting the prince on a local walkabout.
Orla has also joined William and Kate, who is currently in remission after an undisclosed form of cancer, at numerous public events through the years like charity polo matches.
Gutierrez-Reed, 27, was released on Friday, May 23, a spokesperson for the New Mexico Corrections Department confirmed to NBC News. She was released in Arizona to a region near the Nevada and California borders with dual supervision under probation and parole authorities.
According to the police rep, Gutierrez-Reed will be on parole for one year.
Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in April 2024 after the accidental shooting death of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
“My heart aches for the Hutchins family and friends. … Helena has been and always will be an inspiration to me. I understand she was taken too soon and I pray that you all find peace,” she said during her sentencing. “My heart goes out to the film industry for the devastating pain that this tragedy caused. …When I took on Rust, I was young and I was naive, but I took my job as seriously as I knew how to do. Despite not having proper time, resources and staffing, when things got tough, I just did my best to handle it.”
As a film armorer, Gutierrez-Reed was responsible for the firearms on the set of Rust. During production in October 2021, a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin was discharged and killed Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.
Gutierrez-Reed was charged in January 2023 with one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of tampering with evidence for allegedly handing off a bag of cocaine following her police interview after the shooting. She pleaded not guilty to both charges.
In the trial, Gutierrez-Reed was found not guilty of evidence tampering but guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Afterward, her attorney said that she planned to appeal her conviction.
A legal team representing Hutchins’ family — she is survived by her husband and young son — reacted in a statement to Us Weekly.
“Halyna’s parents and her sister have always wanted everyone who is responsible for Halyna’s death to be held accountable,” attorneys Gloria Allred and John Carpenter said in a statement to Us at the time. “Today was the first trial and conviction in the criminal justice process. We are satisfied that the jury, based on the evidence, found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for her part in the taking of Halyna’s life.”
The statement concluded: “We look forward to the justice system continuing to make sure that everyone else who is responsible for Halyna’s death is required to face the legal consequences for their actions.”
“The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never,” Baldwin previously said in an ABC interview in December 2021. “I have no idea [how a bullet got in there]. Someone put a live bullet in a gun. A bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property.”
With notorious kidnap hoaxer Sherri Papini telling a different story in the upcoming Investigation Discovery documentary Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie, have those close to her come to a new understanding of what happened in 2016?
Papini, now 42, was out jogging near her Redding, California, home November 2 of that year when she seemingly vanished. The story caught media attention across the country, and the question “Where is Sherri?” gripped the nation. The answer didn’t arrive until 22 days later: Roughly 150 miles from Papini’s home, a motorist came across the mother of two walking in a parking lot. With a chain still around her waist, she was emaciated and marked by burns, bruises and even a brand on her right shoulder.
In the account she gave to authorities, two Hispanic women had kidnapped her at gunpoint. But not everything added up: Detectives found male DNA on her clothing that did not match her husband, Keith Papini. It was traced back to an ex-boyfriend, James Reyes. In an interview with investigators, he admitted she had been at his Costa Mesa, California, apartment for those three weeks, explaining that he thought he was helping her “run away” from an abusive marriage. Every bit of harm, he said, was inflicted at her request. “I didn’t kidnap her.”
Papini ultimately walked back her initial story of what happened, and in April 2022 she pled guilty to one count each of making false statements to a federal officer and mail fraud. She ultimately spent just under 11 months of an 18-month sentence in prison, getting out in 2023. She was also ordered to pay more than $300,000 for losses that were incurred during the extensive search for her.
In the ID show, Papini again changes her narrative, and in an explosive accusation, points to Reyes as her captor. While acknowledging they’d been having an emotional affair and that she had plans to meet him November 2, she says she didn’t leave with him of her own free will: “There was no consent. And he still did it. The injuries that occurred. The bites on my inner and outer thigh. The footprint on my back. The brand. The melting of my skin. I can’t do that myself, and I am telling you, there was no consent.”
Papini’s therapist, Dr. Stephen Diggs, who specializes in the treatment of personality disorder, says he believes her, and a new polygraph adds partial support to her allegations, but what about her inner circle? Keep scrolling for reactions from her mother, father and others close to her.
Parents Richard and Loretta Graeff

Papini has been living with her parents, and their once-distant relationship has become a close one. Yet asked point-blank, “Do you feel like you know today what happened with Sherri?” her father, Richard Graeff, simply says, “You’d have to ask Sherri.”
Her mother is more definitive, pointing to the Papinis’ troubled relationship: “When James showed up and Sherri went with him, it wasn’t a kidnapping,” Loretta Graeff says. “It was more, ‘I want to have a little bit of happiness in my life because it’s been very, very hard.’ And again, I understand this completely because I had two marriages before Richard — I know all too well about that. She needed to get away from [Keith]. And she didn’t abandon her children. She would never do that. But no, it wasn’t a kidnapping.”
Loretta doesn’t absolve Reyes of all guilt, noting, “If they’re saying she did this on her own accord, I don’t think anybody could ever believe that she could orchestrate this by herself. I mean, this is totally unimaginable. How do you take a branding iron and brand your own back?”
Interjected her father, “I don’t think it turned out the way she planned.”
Back when signing her plea agreement admitting to the hoax, a “deeply ashamed” Papini wrote that she was “sorry for the pain I’ve caused my family, my friends, all the good people who needlessly suffered.”
Keith’s sister, Suzanne Papini, is candid that she and her brother are not close — “I don’t know Keith very well as an adult” — and Sherri “felt like a sibling in a way that I hadn’t had before.” In fact, Suzanne took Sherri in at one point, and she’s visibly emotional when talking about her onetime sister-in-law. (Sherri and Keith divorced in May 2023.) “I don’t need to believe anyone to believe in them,” Suzanne says.
Regarding November 2, 2016, Suzanne staunchly supports the idea that Sherri was unaware what would happen that day. “I think that she thought that [she and James] were going to go on a daytime date. And he knew that she was going to be in that location because they were in communication,” Suzanne says. “But I saw her body. I saw her brokenness. She doesn’t have any sort of historical context of being into physically abusive sexual practices. And it’s also very problematic to me that if it were to be true that she orchestrated all of this, that even if she were to go to someone and say, “Hit me in the face” and “Drug me, starve me, burn me,” he’s never had to have a consequence?”
Reyes — who passed a polygraph during the investigation — was never charged with anything. In the new doc, an investigator briefly speaks with him in Nogales, Arizona, where Reyes says he’s been tending to his grandfather. Of the latest allegations, Reyes says he’s aware and “I’ll have to contact my lawyer in California.”
Papini’s older sister, Sheila Koester, supported her even after she recanted her initial story about being kidnapped. While Koester was not interviewed for Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie, she did speak out about the case in Hulu’s Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini, from 2024.
“I wish she would have made different choices. I think she wasn’t getting the attention that she wanted with being at home. I think she just really wanted to feel important — she always has,” Koester explained. “I would say because of the trauma that she and I experienced as children, Sherri sought out that positive love and attention. She would exaggerate a lot and wasn’t honest a lot.”
Sheila was asked whether she “still had love” for Sherri, to which she replied, “I don’t think that will ever go away. When you have a sibling, you always love them. I still don’t know why she chose to do what she did. I don’t think I will ever know why.”
The four-hour Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie airs on Investigation Discovery Monday, May 26, and Tuesday, May 27, at 9 pm ET. Episodes will also be available to stream on Max.

Katherine Legge is too busy breaking barriers to worry about what her haters have to say.
Legge, 44, will be behind the wheel of the e.l.f. Cosmetics No. 32 Chevy at the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ BetMGM 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 24. In March, Legge became the first woman driver in a NASCAR Cup series race since Danica Patrick retired in 2018.
In a sport that continues to be dominated by men, the British driver exclusively told Us Weekly that she’s not interested in fitting into any boxes.
“If you’re a certain way to somebody, that says more about them than it does about you,” she said. “As you get older, you just kind of accept it and you don’t care anymore. It’s not really my problem if if you think I’m wearing too much mascara.”
During her transition from IndyCar to NASCAR, Legge said not all of the other drivers on the circuit have been overly hospitable.
“Most of them don’t know me,” she explained. “It’s been a very mixed bag of who’s reached out, who’s been kind, who’s not been so kind. I don’t know, I think, maybe, it’s just the insecure ones that are not really nice.”
When it comes to the lack of women in motorsports, Legge explained that it’s simply because “it hasn’t happened successfully before.”

“I think people are reluctant to see change,” she acknowledged. “But if I was out there winning all the time, then maybe people would be like, ‘OK, the girls can do it.’ I think you have to see it to believe it to a certain extent. Hopefully the more people that can break through that outer shell to be part of it and are tough enough to stick with it to learn and progress, then I think you’ll see times changing.”
While Legge admits to being at the forefront of that change, she said the burden of it is “not on my mind” as much as you might think.
“I just want to be the best race car driver I can be,” Legge explained. “I don’t care what the race car driver looks like. The car doesn’t know the difference.”
She continued, “I’m not immune to the responsibility because you do have a lot of young girls who come up to you at the racetrack who look up to you. So, you have that in the background. I want to honor that and I don’t want to play into the fact that I’m female. I want to do it the professional, proper way and be seen as a legit race car driver.”
“Kat’s Magic Helmet” CoverRed Racer Books
To further benefit her young fans, Legge recently published a children’s book called “Kat’s Magic Helmet.”
“I want it to inspire the next generation and it be the story of the things that I went through,” Legge said of the book. “I was really shy as a kid. I got bullied some of the time in racing and there was a whole underlying story I wanted to share to help the young people of tomorrow.”
“Kat’s Magic Helmet” is available now. The NASCAR Xfinity Series’ BetMGM 300 airs live Saturday, May 24 at 4:30 p.m. ET on The CW.
