Although the "Fashion Police" alum didn't name any specific celebrities, fans were quick to assume she was referring to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Kelly Osbourne is calling out the celebrities she thinks are using the Los Angeles wildfires for personal attention.
While Osbourne, 40, didn’t name names, she slammed the “disturbing” trend of stars continuing to post about how they are helping victims of the wildfires that have so far killed 25 people.
“’Is it just me being my normal overthinking, cynical self or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using other people’s pain and suffering as a photo op to say, look, I’m helping, I’m doing this, I’m doing that?” she asked in a video posted via TikTok on Tuesday, January 14.
“I don’t believe you help because you get attention for helping, I believe you just help because you want to. I’m so confused, I think it’s so wrong,” she continued. “No one asked you to come out and give hugs, go home.”
Kelly’s comments come as celebrities around the world are donating their time and money to wildfire relief efforts. Many have done so publicly, sharing photos and videos of themselves volunteering.
Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited a food bank where they met with victims and first responders, while handing out food to those affected by the fires.
“They really buoyed the spirits of the first responders,” Pasadena mayor Victor Gordo said, per the Daily Mail. “We visited the command post at the Rose Bowl and people were very happy to see them.”
OnMonday, January 13, Jay Leno served meals to firefighters in the Pacific Palisades area and visited the rescue crews stationed at the Rose Bowl.
“Pacific Palisades, it doesn’t exist and probably won’t exist for the next four, five years. I don’t know how you rebuild from this,” Leno told Anderson Cooper in an appearance on CNN on Monday. “But we’ll get through it. We always do.”
AFD public information officer Erik Scott also praised Leno via X, writing, “Amid the #PalisadesFire, actor @jayleno stopped by to serve meals to #firefighters coming off the line. We’re grateful for his kindness & the support from our community during this challenging time.”
Actress Jessica Alba, meanwhile, spent Tuesday helping Baby2Baby, an organization she serves on the board of, by packing relief hygiene kits. She posted photos to her Instagram story and encouraged her followers to donate what they could.
A host of other celebrities, including Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, Jamie Lee Curtis and Eva Longoria have donated money to organizations supporting wildfire relief. As of Wednesday, January 15, the Palisades and Eaton fires have damaged or destroyed more than 12,300 structures, according to CNN. That includes the homes of many celebrities, including Hilton, Mel Gibson, Anna Faris and Billy Crystal.
As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to cause widespread devastation, many celebrity real estate agents are trying to find clients new places to live.
“I’ve been searching on the MLS [directory] trying to help displaced families from the fires find rental properties,” Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheimsaid in an Instagram Story video in January 2025. “I’m noticing dozens of examples of people trying to do things like this, where they’re unable to get $9,500 or even $9,000 and then yesterday increase the rent over 30 percent to $12,000.”
The Oppenheim Group founder noted that while he “is all for free market capitalism,” he considers the rising costs to be the result of people “blatantly taking advantage” of the natural disaster.
California has an anti-price gouging law, meaning that it’s illegal to raise costs during an emergent situation.
“The Legislature hereby finds that during a state of emergency or local emergency, including, but not limited to, an earthquake, flood, fire, riot, storm, drought, plant or animal infestation or disease, pandemic or epidemic disease outbreak, or other natural or manmade disaster, some merchants have taken unfair advantage of consumers by greatly increasing prices for essential consumer goods and services,” part of the Penal Code Section 396 reads. “While the pricing of consumer goods and services is generally best left to the marketplace under ordinary conditions, when a declared state of emergency or local emergency results in abnormal disruptions of the market, the public interest requires that excessive and unjustified increases in the prices of essential consumer goods and services be prohibited.”
The statute further reveals that any violation is a misdemeanor crime punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for less than one year, a fine less than $10,000 or a combination of the two punishments.
Despite the state’s legal ruling, many local realtors have still found that landlords are allegedly increasing the prices of their properties amid the wildfires. Keep scrolling to see what the stars have said:

“There are price gouging laws in California, they’re just being ignored right now, and this isn’t the time to be taking advantage of situations,” Oppenheim told the BBC in January 2025. “Everyone has tears in their eyes all day long, literally from the smoke but also just because it’s emotional to see people struggling like this.”
Oppenheim’s brokerage has also donated its services to help displaced clients find places to stay at no additional fee.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on January 10, 2025, Oppenheim’s colleague called the behavior “disgusting.”
“Other realtors that have a moral compass, let’s please report to the board,” she said.
In a follow-up post, Stause noted that she kept seeing examples of price gouging as she searched the MLS for properties on the market.

The Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star spoke out about price gouging in a January 15, interview with Fox News.
“People [who] were not marketing their homes before are just now taking advantage because you can ask whatever you want for a house,” Flagg claimed. “You just can’t do it, then a natural disaster happens, and then you triple the price. That’s the problem.”
According to Flagg, there’s “not enough inventory” to house all of the individuals who have been displaced as a result of the fires.
“Right now, this is very scary. But at the end of the day, there will be a place for everyone to go. It’s just determining that now and everyone’s scrambling,” he told the outlet. “It’s like any disaster. In the beginning, it’s a nightmare and then everything just works itself out. But it’s not fun while you’re waiting.”

Flagg’s former MDLLA costar told Fox News that the situation is “way worse than you could ever imagine.”
“There’s not a lot of inventory to begin with, and now all of a sudden you have a thousand-plus new people in the market, whether they’re buying or renting, depending on their financial situation and depending on their family situation,” Altman said. “It’s going to be years till this gets fixed up, the houses get finished. I mean, it’s going to be two years to build a house. It’s going to be a year to get permits.”

Less than three months after making her American Horror Story debut on season 12 of Murphy’s iconic series in September 2023, it was announced that Kardashian would collaborate with the Emmy winner for a second time on a legal drama for Hulu.
The series is set to follow an all-female team of divorce lawyers in Los Angeles. In addition to starring in the show, Kardashian is also set to executive produce along with Murphy and her mother, Kris Jenner.
Sarah Paulson shared her excitement about working with Kardashian in an October 2024 interview with Yahoo Entertainment, stating, “I think it is absolutely time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate.”
Paulson, one of Murphy’s frequent collaborators, added: “I think the show we’re about to do together is going to be a tremendous amount of fun and she’s going to be glorious on it. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero.”

What is the Plot of ‘All’s Fair’?
While exact plot details about the show are being kept under wraps, Kardashian will star as a divorce lawyer who works in an all-female law firm in L.A.
Paulson revealed that she had read the show’s first two scripts during an October 2024 interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “It’s going to be incredibly sexy, it’s going to be really fun and there’s already a yummy text chain that’s happening with all of us girls that’s really fun,” she shared.

When Does ‘All’s Fair’ Premiere?
It is unknown when All’s Fair will premiere on Hulu. Deadline reported in December 2023 that the show is expected to start production in late 2024 and premiere in early 2025.
Who Has Joined the ‘All’s Fair’ Cast?
Variety reported in August 2024 that Glenn Close will play the head of the all-female law firm at the center of the show’s story. In addition to Kardashian and Paulson, the series will also star Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka and Ed O’Neill.
One week after her casting was announced, Variety reported that Berry parted ways with the project due to a scheduling conflict.
“You know, things happen for a reason,” she told Entertainment Tonight in August 2024. “[But] I would have loved to have been there with those ladies, and I know it’s gonna be great. … [It’s] Ryan Murphy! I mean, you know, duh. But next time!”
Since officially retiring from the NFL in June 2022, Rob Gronkowski is still figuring out what work-life balance looks like in a post-football world.
Gronkowski, 35, who now works as an analyst for Fox Sports after 11 seasons with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, still keeps himself remarkably busy — which makes keeping his calendar up-to-date quite a tricky task.
“The part that I really have to tackle and take down is the travel,” said Gronkowski, who exclusively spoke to Us Weekly via his partnership with Bounty. “There’s a lot of traveling in my new era. I have an event in one city and then I have an event in another city. I gotta go out to L.A. and do [Fox NFL Kickoff] every Sunday. So you learn the tricks in order to tackle the travel so it doesn’t beat you down much.”
Gronkowski explained, “I’m very good at sleeping on planes. I try and make sure I get my rest whenever I can on the plane. It’s an advantage. It’s kind of like time-traveling. If you fall asleep and wake up in the next city you’re like, ‘Whoa, that’s amazing.’”
Given his hectic work and travel schedule, Gronkowski noted it makes his free time even more special and sacred.
“I love my days off,” Gronkowski said. “I make sure that I have a couple days off — at least five to seven days a month — because I love to still be in a routine of working out and taking care of myself, as well.”

As for his ideal way to spend an off day, Gronkowski said it all boils down to simplicity.
“I get a workout in, I go for a run, I get to bring my dog for a walk, I get to hang out with my girlfriend, all that good stuff,” Gronkowski explained.
The former football star has been dating his girlfriend, model Camille Kostek, since 2015. Gronkowski and Kostek, 32, met when she was a member of the New England Patriots cheerleading squad and he slipped her his number at a charity event.
The couple share a French bulldog named Ralphie Gronkowski, who has his own Instagram account with more than 54,000 followers.
Gronkowski’s television duties are currently kicked into high gear with the NFL playoffs in full swing, which will include a trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX in February. While in the Big Easy, former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will be Gronkowski’s tour guide as part of Bounty’s Wingman campaign.
“I got the call from Gronk saying, ‘Hey, do you wanna be my wingman for the Super Bowl in New Orleans?’ I mean, the answer is obviously yes,” Brees, 46, exclusively told Us. “I can’t wait to show this guy around, show him a little Southern hospitality. He’s used to buffalo wings being a Buffalo, New York, guy. But we’re going to add some Cajun spice to those wings. He’s in for a treat.”

Gronkowski and Brees will be on the ground in New Orleans at Super Bowl LIX’s Radio Row in the lead-up to the game at New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, in addition to sampling the best the city has to offer.
“Who better to call than Mr. New Orleans himself?” Gronkowski said of Brees. “He’s the mayor of the entire city. We’re going to be out at restaurants, eating wings and causing messes.”

“Yeah, she wasn’t super proud of me,” Adams, 40, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Tuesday, January 14. “I mean, there’s vows that we said for better or worse, so she can’t divorce me over this. She was bummed, I think.”
Adams, who wed the Modern Family alum in 2022, explained that he asked for Hyland’s thoughts after she watched the show one morning.
“I’m like, ‘What did you think?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, you don’t look that bad.’ I’m like, ‘It’s that bad, isn’t it?’” he said. “I think she thought that I would win. I thought that I would win, and then I didn’t. So here we are.”
Adams was the first contestant to be banished during season 3 of The Traitors, which premiered on Thursday, January 9. After steering during the dragon boat mission, Adams was singled out by The Real Housewives of the Potomac’s Robyn Dixon for appearing “uncomfortable” after the traitors were chosen.
Before his exit, Adams said he interacted with Dixon “so much.” He explained, “That’s why it was so hurtful. There are times when you’re not filming because you’re in a car going somewhere or whatever, or there’s times when you’re just not filming and you’re chitchatting about life and stuff. She was one of those people that I was around all the time. And so when she called me out, I was actually hurt. I was like, ‘I know about your family, we’ve talked about your podcast. I know all this stuff, and you’re saying that I’m acting different.’”

While reflecting on being eliminated from the show, Adams said he has an idea about why people suspected him of being a traitor. (Host Alan Cumming chose Bob the Drag Queen, Danielle Reyes and Carolyn Wiger to be traitors. Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano joined the crew after they murdered The Real Housewives of New York City’s Dorinda Medley.)
“I’ve done over 150 episodes of reality TV — and when cameras aren’t rolling, I’m saving my energy,” Adams explained. “When I was on the radio, I wouldn’t be cracking jokes unless the mic was on and I was doing the show. So, I think that’s what people saw was, I would turn on when the cameras were on because I knew we were making this show. And then when I wasn’t [on camera], I would be like, ‘I’m going to chill and hang out.’”
Adams noted that his behavior was different from that of the Housewives. (Dixon, Medley, The Real Housewives of Dubai’s Chanel Ayan and The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Dolores Catania were all cast on season 3.)
“With the Housewives, the one thing I noticed is that they are constantly like that. I remember being like, ‘It’s got to be exhausting to be you,’” he said. “You’re always yelling at people and going crazy. You got to chill out, man. Your blood pressure must be off the Richter scale. When they said, ‘I think that you’re acting different,’ it was just, ‘No, I’m not going to tell the joke that I think would be funny for TV when the cameras aren’t rolling.’”
The Traitors season 3 airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.

Once she was checked in, she documented her required urine sample, joking, “Hopefully I’m not pregnant.”
Arnold then told her fans a “fun fact” about her childhood and associated with breast augmentation. “When I was in high school there was a rumor that went around that I got a boob job and that my dad is the one who gave me my boob job,” she shared. “My dad is not a plastic surgeon.”
The professional dancer confessed she “wasn’t even mad at it,” but all these years later she still isn’t sure who started the rumor.
Prior to her surgery, Arnold made a TikTok with her surgeon where they both danced. She also showed off her pre-procedure braids and noted that her husband, Sam Cusick, would film some behind-the-scenes moments.

The camera picked up after her procedure, when Arnold was drowsy because of the pain medicine. “[Are] my braids still in?” she asked her husband when she woke up.
Cusick assured Arnold that her hair still looked good, and she started to doze off. “I’m not very funny, am I?” she asked before she fell asleep.
When Arnold got home that afternoon, she once again documented her recovery, revealing she was watching Parks and Recreation.
“My pain is OK I’m just super sleepy, dizzy and nauseous,” she explained in the TikTok. “I can feel a little bit of tightness [around my boobs]. I am just so nauseous still. Pain wise, truly, I’m not too miserable at all.”
On Wednesday, Arnold returned to Instagram to share another update after a night at home. “Feeling pretty dang good this morning!” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “Coming off of anesthesia was rough yesterday just super nauseous and dizzy but slept great and feeling good. Pain is minimal so far and I’m very grateful for that.”

Arnold later shared a video of her daughters, Sage, 4, and June, 20 months, lying in bed with her while explaining her surgery. “My girls have been so gentle with me they are the sweetest,” she captioned the clip.
Arnold announced her plans to get a breast augmentation and lift in December 2024, calling it her “Christmas present.”
She noted that after a birthday getaway to Mexico with her husband she was going to undergo surgery. “It’s something I’m very excited about,” Arnold said in a TikTok video at the time. “I know there’s mixed opinions on this type of thing, and so I get it. … If it’s not for you, it’s not for you.”
Arnold touched upon her choice in a separate TikTok video, revealing that she initially planned to have the procedure once she was “done having kids.”
Her timeline, however, has since shifted with Arnold telling her followers, “We are not done having babies” but the couple weren’t planning to expand their brood right away.
“I just decided I didn’t want to wait,” she added. “Obviously, [I] know there are chances I’d maybe need to get a lift later on in life or whatever, but I just don’t want to wait anymore. … We’re just putting [family planning] on pause a bit longer.”

The 2025 Critics Choice Awards will go on despite multiple postponements due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires.
The annual awards show was initially set to take place on January 12, but was pushed to January 26 after Santa Ana winds caused multiple fires to spread across the greater L.A. area. The fires destroyed businesses, schools and homes, forcing thousands to evacuate the region and claiming at least 25 lives.
Deadline later reported that the ceremony was postponed a second time until February, though an exact date has yet to be revealed.
Several celebrities were impacted by the fires, including Adam Brody, who scored a nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Netflix’s Nobody Wants This. The show earned a total of four nods, including Best Comedy Series and Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Kristen Bell. (Brody, 45, and his wife, Leighton Meester, reportedly lost their home in the fires.)
While Shōgun leads the pack of TV nominations with six, Conclave and Wicked tied for the most film nominations with a total of 11, followed by Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez with 10 each.

How Are the Critics Choice Awards Different From Other Award Shows?
John Shearer/Getty Images for Critics Choice Association
Similar to the Oscars — which is based on votes from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science — the Critics Choice Awards are voted on by their own governing body, the Critics Choice Association (CCA). While the Golden Globes are also voted on by entertainment journalists, the CCA is specific to the Critics Choice Awards.
Creator Taylor Sheridan‘s Paramount+ series premiered in November 2024 and introduced Billy Bob Thornton as a corporate fixer for an oil titan (Jon Hamm). The West Texas-set drama had life-and-death stakes but it was Thornton’s scenes with 27-year-old Randolph, who plays his 17-year-old daughter, that went viral. The most-talked about moments included her talking to her father about sex while walking around his house — which he shares with two men of similar age — in bikinis and her underwear.
“Some of the things that Ainsley has to say are shocking and there were moments where I thought, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to pull this off,'” Randolph admitted to The Hollywood Reporter one month later. “I want to find the most human version of this character that I can, and I work really hard at doing that.”
“I worked with a dialect coach, a movement coach and an acting coach and I just studied like crazy. I had about a year almost to prep for her,” she explained about her approach to Ainsley. “It was incredibly helpful to kind of sit with that character. I worked really hard to find ways to justify her behavior and make a full human out of something that doesn’t always seem like what a 17-year-old would say, but people like that exist.”
While reflecting on her onscreen collaborations with Sheridan, Randolph said Landman “required 10 times more prep” than 1923.
“I wanted to be very careful about the way that Ainsley comes across. There’s only so much that I can control, but you also can control a lot as an actor,” she continued. “And just being around Ali [Larter] and Billy and Jacob [Lofland] and being in Texas really helped create this full person that Ainsley is. She has this free essence about her and she’s wild, and I loved every second of it.”
Keep scrolling for Randolph’s candid quotes about playing a controversial character on Landman:

“It’s hard to not be aware of it,” Randolph told The Hollywood Reporter about the negative response to Ainsley’s seasons. “But I disassociate and the thing is, I got the script. I read it. I had my moments, my thoughts.”
Randolph reminded viewers that she had nothing to do with what was written on the page.
“My job ended when I finished my last day on set, and then I released it. The show went out,” she continued. “I can’t tell people how to interpret my character, but at least it’s sparking conversation. And I’m really proud of the show that we made.”
Give Ainsley a Chance
Randolph urged viewers to give Ainsley the space to evolve, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “She’s 17 and she’s growing. I think she gets it more than the audience gets to see. There are moments where you realize that she can be, not manipulative, but she knows how to play her dad, and also her mom. She knows how to get what she wants. She loves her family.”
She concluded: “She is figuring out who she is and meeting different peers and going to school. She’s not just the bratty young daughter; she is a person. We get to see 5 percent of who Ainsley is. Hopefully as the show goes on, we get to see all of who she is.”
“When you start a show, it’s so hard because you don’t know your full character. Knowing who she is in episode 10 was really hard when episode 1 was just coming out. I was like, that’s not all she has to do!” Randolph told Deadline in January 2025. “You don’t want to meet the fully evolved version of a character. If you don’t get to see the growth, then it’s not fun to watch. So I am thankful that we got to meet Ainsley at Point A, and hopefully by the time the show’s done, however many seasons, we’ll meet her at Z.”
Developing the Character
“When I first read [the scripts], I had to digest. And then, it just became like, that’s who she was. She never surprised me in a way, once I found her,” Randolph recalled during a People interview that same month. “It was interesting watching the audience reaction to it because I had sat with it for so long. It was like, ‘Oh, OK, we’re all going to process this again together.'”
“I think being comfortable in your sexuality is something to be celebrated. If that’s what you feel as a human [and] aligns with who you are, then be authentically yourself. And that’s what she’s doing,” Randolph told People. “Though she is 17, so I think as she gets older, she’ll put up more boundaries and understand the way the world works more. But as far as she’s concerned, right now, this is the way she’s been raised and she’s going to figure out if she thinks that’s right or wrong or she wants to change it.”
Randolph made it clear she had no regrets about working on Landman, saying, “I’m so proud of the show that we made, and so I just didn’t let myself have a perspective on what the audience thought. I think I’ve said before, [that] I disassociated [during certain scenes], but you kind of have to. I did my job when I was filming and then I closed the door and we put it out there, and I’m excited to hopefully continue the character and that’s all I can do.”

In Bravo’s official trailer forthe season 5 reunion released on Wednesday, January 15, host Andy Cohen asks Meredith’s husband, Seth Marks, if he has a “side chick” in Ohio.
“I’m getting angry,” Meredith responds after hearing the accusation. “The whole reason I came here was not for this. I am finished.”
While it appears the couple may walk off the set, it’s not the only tough moment Meredith will face in the three-part reunion special.
At another point in the taping, Britani Bateman — who recently confirmed she is still datingDonny Osmond’s nephew Jared — appears in a heated discussion with the jewelry designer when she reminds her costar, “I am talking.”
“I don’t care,” Meredith replies. “I’m not going to let you spread lies about me.”
Another cast member put in the hot seat is Lisa Barlow. Joined by her husband, John Barlow, the couple face allegations about the state of their marriage.
“You guys were saying, ‘Maybe Lisa’s had affairs,’” Lisa explains to the group. Angie Katsanevas replies, “Your friends sent me photos of someone you were dating.”
Before fans assume the reunion is all about drama and disagreements, the cast appears to come together when Mary Crosby shares an update on how her son, Robert Jr., is doing amid his substance abuse struggles.
The impactful and honest conversation brings Mary, Andy, Heather Gay and others to tears.
“He’s steady, which I think is good,” Mary exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024. “It’s a heavy topic, but for me, because it all just came at once on me and I didn’t expect it, but I’m taking it day by day.”
Ultimately, every cast member will have a moment as Andy dissects the entire season. Whitney Rose will address the rumors about her business. Heather will challenge Bronwyn Newport’s shifting narrative on her infidelity story with husband, Todd Newport.
And yes, even the husbands may find themselves in the middle of the drama as John tells Todd to “watch your tone” during a heated conversation.
“These women keep me on [my] toes and I love them,” The Real Housewives of Dubai star Chanel Ayan commented via Instagram after watching the trailer.

Wildfires continue to tear through the Los Angeles area, devastating thousands of acres and forcing even more people to flee their homes. As relief efforts are just getting underway, some of Hollywood’s most prominent stars are coming together to help those in need.
The Eaton and Pacific Palisades fires, which are burning concurrently, are already two of the top five most destructive fires in California’s history according to CNN. At least 24 people have died, with that number expected to grow as firefighters continue to search the rubble.
The Pacific Palisades fire has impacted scores of celebrities, destroying homes in affluent neighborhoods and forcing many to evacuate. Paris Hilton, Anna Faris, Billy Crystal and Mel Gibson are among the stars whose houses have burned down.
But many — even those who have been evacuated or lost everything — are stepping up to help their fellow Angelenos. Celebrities from film, sports, music and more have stepped up to donate their time, money and supplies.

One of the men convicted in the 2024 murder of General Hospital star Johnny Wactor has been sentenced.
Frank Olano received five years and eight months in state prison, Us Weekly can confirm. He was previously convicted for being an accessory in Wactor’s death, receiving stolen property and three counts of possession of a firearm by a felon. Olano, 22, pleaded no contest to all charges in October 2024.
Olano was one of four suspects arrested in connection to Wactor’s death. Fellow defendant Leonel Gutierrez is scheduled to be sentenced later on Wednesday, January 15. He pleaded guilty to one count of attempted robbery and one count of grand theft.
Two other men, Robert Barceleau and Sergio Estrada, were each arrested on murder charges. They both pleaded not guilty.
“Johnny Wactor’s life was senselessly taken while he was simply walking to his parked car in downtown Los Angeles,” District Attorney George Gascón said in an August 2024 statement. “We are committed to seeking justice for Mr. Wactor and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.”
Gascón added, “The loss of this talented young actor, who was in the prime of his life and had so much to offer the world, is deeply felt by all of us. Mr. Wactor’s work and presence touched the lives of many, and our hearts go out to his family, friends and the entire community who mourn this devastating loss.”
News broke in May 2024 that Wactor died at the age of 37 after a shooting in Los Angeles. According to Wactor’s mother, he was shot after an alleged altercation with three men who were attempting to steal his car’s catalytic convertor.
Wactor was reportedly with a female coworker at the time of the incident and tried to protect her from harm.
“We’re Southern, born and raised, and we would never let a female walk to their car by herself,” Wactor’s brother, Grant, told the Daily Mail later that month. “He came across them and he thought his truck was being towed. So he said something to the guys, like, ‘Hey, are you towing?’”
According to Grant, Wactor attempted to shield his colleague from the apparent assailants.
“And then once he turned around, he saw what was happening and he put his coworker behind him. And that’s when they shot him,” Grant said.
After Barceleau and Estrada were charged with murder in August 2024, Wactor’s mother released a statement shared with Us Weekly.
“It’s a great birthday present for Johnny,” Scarlett told Us, whose son would have turned 38 on August 31, 2024. “I’m hoping to have [the suspects] tried federally. I’m still hoping and praying for a stronger penalty … I know [police] don’t want them to walk, either.”
