It Ends With Us studio Sony Pictures and SAG-AFTRA have released statements in support of Blake Lively amid her allegations accusing costar and director Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.

“We have previously expressed our support for Blake in connection with her work on and for the film. We fully and firmly reiterate that support today,” a spokesperson for Sony told Variety in a Monday, December 23, statement. “Further, we strongly condemn any reputational attacks on her. Any such attacks have no place in our business or in a civil society.”

Hours earlier, the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artist also spoke out against the “startling and troubling allegations” in a statement to Deadline, noting that they “applaud” Lively’s “courage in speaking out on issues of retaliation and harassment and for er request to have an intimacy coordinator for all scenes with nudity or sexual content.”

“This is an important step that helps ensure a safe set,” a guild spokesperson told the outlet on Monday. “Employees have every right to raise issues of concern or to file complaints. Retaliation for reporting misconduct or inappropriate behavior is illegal and wrong. We all have a right to be treated with dignity and respect on the job and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination and retaliation.”

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

Lively, 37, filed the complaint against Baldoni, 40, on Friday, December 20, claiming he created a “hostile work environment” on the It Ends With Us set and caused the Gossip Girl alum “severe emotional distress.” The lawsuit additionally claimed that Baldoni and his team had launched a “social manipulation” campaign against Lively to damage her reputation.

The documents, obtained by Us Weekly after it first reported by TMZ and The New York Times, stated that a meeting was held during the film’s production in January to address Lively’s claims against her costar that included  “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous “pornography addiction” no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”

Baldoni, for his part, has vehemently denied the allegations against him. In a statement to Us, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman called Lively’s claims “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious,” alleging she filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production. He claimed Lively made “multiple demands and threats,” which included “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.”

As for Lively’s smear campaign allegations — which included text messages from Baldoni and his team — Freedman told Us The Agency Group PR, which was hired by Baldoni and is one of several firms named in the lawsuit, “operated as any other crisis management firm would when hired by a client experiencing threats by two extremely powerful people with unlimited resources.”

Freedman also claimed that the texts were taken out of context. “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,” he continued. “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.”

Sony and SAG-AFTRA are just the latest to speak out in support of Lively. It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover took to social media on Saturday, December 21, to praise Lively for being nothing but being “honest, kind, supportive and patient from day one.”

Blake Lively Claims Another Cast Member Complained About Justin Baldoni

Lively and Baldoni’s costar Brandon Sklenar also came to the Simple Favor star’s defense, sharing the NYT story about the allegations via his Instagram Story on Monday.  “For the love of god read this,” he wrote with a link to the article, tagging Lively and adding a red heart emoji.

Baldoni, meanwhile, has been dropped by his agency WME, who also represent Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. His “Man Enough” podcast host, Liz Plank, also announced her exit on Monday along with women’s non-profit Vital Voices rescinding their Voices of Solidarity Award, which Baldoni was presented with just last week.

Following his split from Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi in March 2019, Johnny Manziel found love again with Josie Canseco.

In April 2024, Manziel and Canseco sparked romance rumors when she shared a photo of her resting her feet on a mysterious man’s legs while on an airplane. Although his face was not visible in the shot, fans noticed Manziel’s recognizable hand tattoos in the pic.

Later that month, the couple confirmed their romance when they took to their respective Instagram Stories to share photos featuring the couple in a close embrace at Stagecoach in Indio, California.

Less than three months later, Canseco couldn’t help but gush about her relationship with Manziel.

“I like to make fun of him from time to time because I do get the princess treatment, and he takes such good care of me,” she told Us Weekly in July 2024. “I come home for a long day, and he’ll rub my back and give me so much love. He takes such good care of me. I couldn’t have asked for any better right now.”

She noted that Manziel “takes such good care of her.”

“I couldn’t have asked for any better right now,” she added.

As for why she wants to keep her relationship off social media, Canseco explained that she likes “to take control of the narrative if possible.”

Jodie Turner-Smith claimed that her estranged husband, Joshua Jackson, owes her child support and spousal support amid their divorce.

Turner-Smith, 38, alleged in new court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, December 23, that Jackson, 46, has not paid her any child support since news broke in October 2023 that they parted ways. She is requesting he pay her $8,543 per month retroactive to the date of her initial filing. (TMZ was first to report the news.)

The Bad Monkey actress also requested that Jackson pay her $28,641 a month in spousal support while their divorce is still pending. (She initially asked the court to take spousal support off the table but has seemingly changed her mind.)

She is asking that the court order the Dawson’s Creek alum to pay her $250,000 to cover her attorney fees and other costs as they continue to hash out their legal split.

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Split After 4 Years of Marriage

Turner-Smith claimed that Jackson “promised to always support me” and “ensured” her that she would “not have to worry about financial security for our daughter if we ever separated because he said he understood how difficult life can be as a Black woman and a single mother.”

She argued in the docs that Jackson made more money than her during their four-year marriage and accused him of piling up attorney’s fees by dragging out their divorce.

Turner-Smith alleged that the Doctor Odyssey star is “reneging” on his “promise” to financially protect her and their 4-year-old daughter. (The former couple welcomed their child in April 2020.)

Joshua Jackson Cites Different Date of Separation From Jodie Turner-Smith 

Us confirmed in October 2023 that Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson after four years of marriage. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup and listed the date of separation as September 13, 2023.

Turner-Smith, who married the Mighty Ducks actor in 2019, noted in the initial docs that she was looking for joint custody of their child.

Despite hitting a bump in their legal proceedings, Turner-Smith has been positive about her coparenting experience with Jackson over the past year.

“It’s an adjustment period for anyone when they split up with someone, because you’re used to being with your child all the time,” she told Glamour in an interview published in October. “But nobody hands you a manual. Everyone’s trying to figure it out. Each parent has a different life, and especially if the reason why you’re splitting up is because you have different lives, it’s only further complicated by how you’re going to coparent.”

The following month, Turner-Smith told Entertainment Tonight that coparenting comes down to thinking “about your kids” at all times. “When you’re parenting in the public eye, everything that you do — eventually, there’s a record of it,” she explained. “You don’t want your kids to read anything and think anything.”

She added: “It’s just about — center the children and that’s all you can do. Nobody gets everything right but at least when you know you’re focused on the right thing, you know you’re gonna do your best.”

Jackson — who dated Lupita Nyong’o from fall 2023 to October of this year — has remained quiet about his and Turner-Smith’s ongoing divorce. In September, he did share a rare glimpse at his life as a girl dad.

He exclusively told Us in September that he couldn’t pick the best thing about being a parent. “It’s not a part; it’s the whole thing,” Jackson gushed. “It’s every single day. She is a joy.”

Jackson noted that his daughter influences every aspect of his life. “I have a 4-year-old. She’s in school. I need to work here, and I want to be able to be, like, a dad,” he explained. “That’s really honestly my main priority.”

Being close to home is what drew the actor to his latest role on Doctor Odyssey. “I really wanted to do something where it was lighter, where I didn’t have to go home as a head case every night, brooding and heavy,” he added.

Us Weekly has reached out to Jackson’s team for comment.

Brandon Sklenar has publicly supported It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively amid her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

Sklenar, 34, reposted the New York Times article that broke the news of Lively’s allegations against Baldoni, 40, via his Instagram Story on Monday, December 23.

He titled the link to the story, “For the Love of God Read This.” The actor, who starred in It Ends With Us alongside Lively, 37, and Baldoni, tagged the actress in the post alongside a single red heart emoji.

News broke on Saturday, December 21, that Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni accusing him of sexual harassment and of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation.

Brandon Sklenar Explains Why He Spoke Out Amid ‘It Ends With Us’ Drama

Baldoni has denied the allegations via his attorney, Bryan Freedman, who called Lively’s accusations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us Weekly. Since the lawsuit has made headlines, Baldoni has suffered from major fallout including being dropped from his talent agency.

Sklenar’s support comes one day after he celebrated the holidays with friends Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Teller, Chace Crawford and more. Keleigh, who is friends with Lively and Taylor Swift, shared a series of snaps from the festivities.

Lively and Sklenar formed a friendship while working on It Ends With Us. In the film, Lively’s character, Lily, escapes an abusive relationship with Ryle, played by Baldoni, with help from her old flame Atlas, portrayed by Sklenar. While promoting the movie over the summer, Sklenar was present with Lively during press to promote the film, while Baldoni conducted his interviews solo. When Lively was under fire for seemingly downplaying the movie’s domestic violence plot line during press, Sklenar was the first of Lively’s It Ends With Us costars to come to her defense. (Lively later shared domestic violence resources via her social media page.)

“Colleen and the women of this cast stand for hope, perseverance, and for women choosing a better life for themselves,” he wrote via a lengthy August Instagram statement. “Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about. It is, in fact, the opposite of the point.”

What 'It Ends With Us' Cast Has Said About Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni

Sklenar continued: “What may or may not have happened behind the scenes does not and hopefully should not detract from what our intentions were in making this film. It’s been disheartening to see the amount of negativity being projected online.”

Sklenar shared that “there isn’t a single person involved in the making of this film” that wasn’t “aware of the responsibility we had in making this,” and added, “This movie is a harsh reality check for the men who need to get their s— together and take responsibility for themselves and their actions.”

Justin Baldoni is already dealing with major fallout days after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against him.

The New York Times reported on December 21 that Lively filed a lawsuit on December 20 in which she accused him of sexual harassment and launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation during the promotion of their film It Ends With Us. The docs, which were also obtained by Us Weekly, claimed that Lively was not the only cast member who complained about Baldoni.

Baldoni, who has been a vocal supporter of women’s issues, has denied the allegations via his lawyer Bryan Freedman who called Lively’s accusations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” in a statement to Us. The statement claimed 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, the actress 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.”

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

While Baldoni has maintained innocence since the lawsuit’s filing, he has suffered from a series of career setbacks. Baldoni was quickly dropped from his talent agency in addition to having an award rescinded.

Keep scrolling to see what Baldoni has lost since news broke of Lively’s lawsuit:

Dropped From WME

The same day that news broke of Lively’s lawsuit, talent agency WME (William Morris Endeavor) dropped Baldoni as a client. Deadline reported that the decision was made by WME leadership and was partly due to Lively’s lawsuit.

WME also represents Lively where she still remains a client.

Vital Voices Award Rescinded

One week before news broke of Lively’s lawsuit, Baldoni was awarded at the 2024 Vital Voices Solidarity Awards which is an “awards program that honors remarkable men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls worldwide,” per the organization’s website. The honor was presented by his It Ends With Us costar Hasan Minhaj.

On December 23, Vital Voices announced they rescinded the award and alerted Baldoni of the decision amid the legal drama.

“The Voices of Solidarity Award honors remarkable men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls,” a statement shared via Instagram read. “On December 9, 2024, we recognized Justin Baldoni with this award. On Saturday, December 21, we learned through news reports about a lawsuit brought by Blake Lively against Mr. Baldoni, his publicists, and others that is disturbing and alleges abhorrent conduct. The communications among Mr. Baldoni and his publicists in the lawsuit — and the PR effort they indicate — are, alone, contrary to the values of Vital Voices and the spirit of the Award.”

Losing a Cohost

Baldoni hosted the podcast “Man Enough” alongside author Liz Plank. On December 23, Plank announced her departure from the show after four years.

“I’m writing to you today to let you know that I have had my representatives inform Wayfarer that I will no longer be co-hosting the ‘Man Enough’ podcast,” Plank wrote in a statement obtained by People. “Thank you for trusting me with your hearts and stories, for holding space for mine, and for making this show what it was. I will miss you, the listeners, so much. I love what this community created together with every fiber of my being, and that’s because of you.”

Plank added that while “this chapter closes” for her, she plans on staying “committed to the values we’ve built together.”

“Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for being by my side for the last four years. We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it,” she continued. “I will have more to share soon as I continue to process everything that has happened. In the meantime, I will continue to support everyone who calls out injustice and holds the people standing in their way accountable.”

She did not refer to Baldoni or the lawsuit in her statement.

The ESPN family is mourning the loss of one of their own, Zach Jones, following his death on Sunday, December 22. He was 41.

“ESPN lost one of our own yesterday, research manager Zach Jones,” SportsCenter anchor Randy Scott announced during the Monday, December 23, broadcast.

Scott revealed that after a “two-year fight with colorectal cancer that had metastasized before his diagnosis,” Jones passed away.

“You may have never seen him on your screens, but you saw his work on our live golf coverage, our women’s college basketball coverage or on any of our SportsCenter shows,” the journalist continued. “He came here in 2010 as a researcher and joined the management team of the stats and information group in 2018.”

Scott got tears in his eyes while detailing Jones’ most important legacies, which were not tied to his work at the sports-focused network.

“More important than that, he got married here. He started a family here. The Stanford [University] graduate loved The Cardinal, and he loved golf,” Scott said, getting choked up on camera. “He loved his wife, Amber, and he loved his son Silas. He turned 10 last month. He lost his dad three days before Christmas.”

The anchor recalled seeing Jones “just a couple of weeks ago” in the cafeteria, noting he was “hopeful” and “reflective,” telling him, “He just wanted his family to be OK after a recent move to Texas.”

Scott explained that Jones “fought like hell” during his cancer battle and “he gets to rest now.” He signed off by saying, “We love you, buddy” and sharing a photo of his late coworker with his family.

Scott shared the SportsCenter clip via X on Monday, calling Jones, “Our friend, Amber’s husband, and Silas’ dad.”

Fellow SportsCenter anchor Kevin Negandhi also paid tribute to their friend via social media.

“May you rest in peace Zach. A devoted dad who loved golf, the Chargers and his family,” he wrote via X on Monday. “He was a fantastic researcher and had the perfect demeanor for TV. He will be missed by so many. Sending all of our love to his wife, son and their family. F— cancer.”

ESPN colleague Gregg Colli commented on Negandhi’s post, replying, “Zach was the best. The original fantasy football researcher who handled a ridiculous volume of work with a smile and no complaints. He was as good a human as it gets. Cancer Sucks!”

Jason Kelce sleighed the holiday season during a festive edition of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. 

Kelce, 37, dressed up as Santa Claus for the Monday, December 23 broadcast before the game between the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers at Green Bay, Wisconsin’s Lambeau Field.

The show opened with Kelce, dressed as Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, singing an improvised version of “Silent Night” that gave a shoutout to one of his Monday Night Countdown cohosts.

“Marcus Spears, a.k. a. Swagoo / We will see you soon,” Kelce sang. “Football is awwwww-some.”

Inside Lambeau Field, Kelce was then seen sitting at the Monday Night Countdown analyst desk still dressed as Santa.

Monday Night Countdown host Scott Van Pelt first teased Kelce’s jolly appearance on Monday afternoon. 

“Coming up on MNCD….,” Van Pelt, 58, shared via X, alongside a picture of Kelce as Santa and Van Pelt dressed up as Buddy the Elf, Will Ferrell’s character from Elf. 

The first thing many of Van Pelt’s followers noticed was Kelce’s significant weight loss, which made for a very slimmed-down Santa. 

“Kelce looking so thin!!” one person wrote via X. “Definitely my favorite Santa.” Another said, “Omg Kelce is skinny Santa .”

On the Thursday, November 19 bonus episode of Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Kelce revealed how he found out the truth about Santa Claus while growing up in Ohio.

“Somebody told me, and I don’t remember how old I was,” he recalled. “I was in elementary school. But I remember coming home and asking mom and dad and being sat down and them explaining to me, ‘Unfortunately, it’s not real. But we need you to not tell Travis.’”

Kelce cohosts the popular podcast with his younger brother, Travis Kelce, who credited Jason for not spilling the beans.

“Well, Jason didn’t tell me,” Travis, 35, said. “I figured it out on my own when every single present had mom’s handwriting on it.”

Jason laughed as Travis remembered how their mother, Donna Kelce, inadvertently let the cat out of the bag.

“I was like, ‘This is how mom spells all of our names,’” Travis said. “I was just like, ‘What the f—? Where’s the one that’s from Santa and not mom? Santa and mom have the same handwriting, that’s crazy.’”

The game between the Saints and Packers marks the final Monday Night Countdown broadcast before Christmas. The crew returns to the air on Monday, December 30, when the Detroit Lions travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers. 

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.”

Several male celebrities took the internet’s heart by storm in 2024, but a handful stood out from the rest of the pack.

For those unfamiliar with the phrase “Internet Boyfriend,” the term is applied to popular celebrities who fans collectively have a crush on at the same time. For example, Nicholas Alexander Chavez not only won fans over with his impressive performance in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story but also for a viral TikTok fan edit.

Longtime internet boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, meanwhile, had a jam-packed 2024 with his films Dune: Part Two and A Complete Unknown. Not to mention, he was one of the first stars to be the subject of the recent celebrity look-alike competition trend. He even showed up to his own New York City doppelgänger contest in October.

Similar to Chalamet — who sang live on the set of A Complete Unknown — Jonathan Bailey made fans fall in love with singing chops as Fiyero in Wicked: Part One. Stars such as Adam Brody and Josh Hartnett made millennials nostalgic with 2024 comeback projects, while Marcello Hernandez and Jack Schlossberg made waves online with their hilarious personalities.

UPDATE 12/23 – 6:00pm EST: Vital Voices, the organization behind the Vital Voices Solidarity Awards, has chosen to rescind an award recently given to It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni amid his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively.

“The Voices of Solidarity Award honors remarkable men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls,” a statement shared via Instagram on Monday, December 23, read. “On December 9, 2024, we recognized Justin Baldoni with this award. On Saturday, December 21, we learned through news reports about a lawsuit brought by Blake Lively against Mr. Baldoni, his publicists, and others that is disturbing and alleges abhorrent conduct. The communications among Mr. Baldoni and his publicists in the lawsuit — and the PR effort they indicate — are, alone, contrary to the values of Vital Voices and the spirit of the Award.”

Vital Voices confirmed in the statement they had “notified Mr. Baldoni that we have rescinded this award.”

Original story below:

Hasan Minhaj honored Justin Baldoni as an ally for women’s rights just one week before news broke of Blake Lively’s lawsuit against the It Ends With Us director.

It seems a moment between two men congratulating each other on being allies to women hasn’t aged well. Earlier this month, Baldoni, 40, was honored by Minhaj, 39, at the 2024 Vital Voices Solidarity Awards which, according to the official website, is an “awards program that honors remarkable men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls worldwide.”

Following the event, which was hosted on December 9 by non-profit Vital Voices, Baldoni wrote via Instagram that he was “deeply honored and humbled” to receive the 2024 Vital Voices Solidarity Award “presented by my soul brother [Minhaj].”

Minhaj starred in It Ends With Us as Marshall alongside Baldoni and Lively, 37.

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

“Thank you, brother, for using your brilliant mind to be of service by challenging us all and making us laugh at the same time. No one does it better,” Baldoni’s post continued. “Thank you for being a true friend and always showing up — but most importantly, when the cameras aren’t rolling.”

Baldoni, who also hosts a podcast called “Man Enough” about modern masculinity and gender roles, went on to write that it was “hard to accept an award when it’s so evident that there is still so much more work to do.”

“My hope is that we can teach our boys, while they are still young, that vulnerability is strength, sensitivity is a super power, and empathy makes them powerful,” he continued. “That they should love and embrace their masculinity — that being a boy and a man is amazing and nothing to apologize for. And to value all the beautiful and complicated parts of them that make them human. I believe with all my heart that once our boys learn to be safe spaces for themselves, our world will finally be a safe space for everyone.”

On Friday, December 20, one week after Baldoni accepted this award, Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him with allegations that he had created a “hostile work environment” on the It Ends With Us set and caused the actress “severe emotional distress.”

Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni Texted About Ruining Her Reputation

Per the lawsuit, which was obtained by Us Weekly after it was reported by TMZ and The New York Times, a meeting was held during the film’s production in January to address Lively’s claims against her costar.

Lively’s demands for the meeting included “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”

In a statement to Us, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman addressed Lively’s “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” allegations, claiming she filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production. He alleged Lively made “multiple demands and threats,” which included “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.”

Additionally, the lawsuit claimed that Baldoni and his team had orchestrated a smear campaign against Lively to damage her reputation. Earlier this year, the actress was the subject of a social media firestorm surrounding the promotion for It Ends With Us, when it was reported that she and Baldoni had clashed on set.

What 'It Ends With Us' Cast Has Said About Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni

“There were two camps on the film — team Blake and team Justin,” a source exclusively told Us in August. “This creative struggle set the tone for the negative experience behind the scenes and grew into them not speaking anymore.”

Minhaj, for his part, was asked about this alleged feud in a September with Esquire, saying he “can’t speak to other people’s experience” on set, noting that “everybody was very professional and cool to me.”

He added, “It was lovely and everybody was lovely, and it is just as disillusioning for me, because I’m like, ‘What happened? Wait, what’s going on?’”

In a statement to The New York Times on Saturday, Lively — who has received support from several stars, including It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover and producer Alex Saks— 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.” She denied spreading negative information about Baldoni.

Gwyneth Paltrow is coming to the support of Blake Lively and her haircare line, Blake Brown.

Following Lively’s sexual harassment allegations against her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni, she received public support from figures including Paltrow, 52. Lively’s accusations against Baldoni include unwanted kissing during filming and a campaign to damage her reputation. Baldoni has vehemently denied these claims, calling them “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.”

Paltrow publicly showed her support for Lively, 37, on the day the complaint was released. In an Instagram Story, she featured Lively’s Blake Brown haircare line on her Christmas wish list, adding a queen emoji to her post.

According to the legal documents obtained by Us Weekly, the effects of Baldoni’s tear down campaign against Lively’s professional life were “immediate and substantial.” This includes Blake Brown, which launched around the same time as It Ends With Us’ theatrical release this summer.

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

As a result of negative chatter on social media, Lively claimed she felt she could not “proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set.”

One such incident allegedly included cancelling a “critical” Target corporate event for said haircare company, which she backed out of her scheduled appearance for.

The lawsuit also alleges that the retaliation campaign against Lively resulted in damage to her companies as well, like the launch of Blake Brown, which Lively had spent seven years building up to.

“The long-planned launch of her haircare line, Blake Brown — a date which was set more than a year prior to the date selected,” the documents read, “for the release of the film — was caught up in the crossfires of the negative environment against [Lively].”

Prior to when the “social manipulation” campaign was underway, the Gossip Girl actress was informed that Blake Brown was Target’s largest haircare launch on record. And based on internal sales projects the “sudden and unexpected negative media campaign launched” negatively affected retail sales of products by a whopping “56%–78%.”

What’s more, the Instagram account for the brand was allegedly flooded by “harassing and derogatory comments, including many posted by user accounts that had no followers and no prior posts,” which suggested an inauthenticity, according to court papers.

According to Claire Kittle, the wife of San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, there’s still reason for optimism in the midst of a hugely disappointing season for the franchise. 

The 49ers officially saw their playoff chances evaporate on Sunday, December 22, one season removed from winning the NFC and taking the Kansas City Chiefs to overtime in February’s Super Bowl LVIII. 

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly on Wednesday, December 18, just days before the 49ers’ playoff aspirations had totally expired, Claire, 30, gushed about the camaraderie inside the San Francisco locker room. 

“We have such a great group of guys and they all really love each other and hang out outside of football,” said Claire, who spoke to Us while promoting the Kittles’ collaboration with Zenni Optical. “They just enjoy spending time with each other and keeping that positive light.”

49ers' George Kittle Calls Teammate ‘Selfish’ for Quitting During Game

Claire added, “They genuinely enjoy one another. That’s always good because that is definitely not the case in every locker room.”

Still, Claire couldn’t help but acknowledge the elephant in the room: the team’s losing record. 

“They’re competitors, they’re professional athletes. They want to win and want to be successful,” Claire said. “So yeah, of course there’s some level of disappointment. But you just take it as a learning experience and you try to really capitalize on the moments that you have left, because each year is so vastly different.”

She continued, “Teams change, you know? You don’t know if you’re going to play with your friends again or if you’re even going to be on the same team. As far as George, he really tries to focus on that and make it a good experience for everybody.”

The 49ers were officially eliminated from playoff contention when the Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Rams, both ahead of them in the NFC standings, won their respective games on Sunday. The Niners would then lose to the Miami Dolphins 29-17 on Sunday afternoon. 

San Francisco has two games remaining on their schedule: Monday, December 30 at home against the Detroit Lions and Sunday, January 5 at the Arizona Cardinals. 

While the football season hasn’t exactly gone as planned, Claire thanked the scheduling gods for allowing the couple — who got married in April 2019 — to spend the holiday season at home. 

“We were just talking about it yesterday looking at our schedule and we were like, ‘I don’t know that we have ever had a Christmas Day just the two of us,’” Claire told Us. “We are looking forward to it.”

While the couple gets a cozy Christmas together, Claire said there will be plenty of family time “the weekend after” at the couple’s home in California. 

It’s an extra special holiday season for the Kittles, who have teamed up with eyewear line Zenni Optical to unveil their latest line of 30 fresh styles for both men and women. 

“They’re just really great,” Claire said of the brand. “They give back to the community in the Bay Area. They do a lot of workshops in the area with the Niners that we get to be a part of. George and I have our hands in the entire design process. We pick and choose what we like, and send them our own inspirations. It’s been really fun for George and I to get to do that together.”

While speaking about Christmas presents, Aaron Rodgers casually revealed he has a special someone in his life.

“I used to enjoy a little outing over to the Bay Park mall in Wisconsin every now and then, but I actually ordered all of [my Christmas gifts] online this year. I was a little worried because there was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn’t showed up yet,” the New York Jets quarterback, 41, said during a Monday, December 23, appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “So I’ve been waiting on this to show up and it showed up today.”

With the arrival of his girlfriend’s Christmas present, Rodgers added that he is “all set” for the holidays. McAfee’s jaw dropped at Rodger’s nonchalant reveal that he is seeing someone. Cohost A.J. Hawk, meanwhile, was quick to try to get more details, asking if the special woman in Rodgers’ life was pop star Britney Spears.

“Not Britney Spears, this is Brittani with an I,” Rodgers replied with a smile on his face.

Aaron Rodgers' Dating History: Shailene Woodley, Danica Patrick and More

While Rodgers did not share any details about how he and Brittani met or how long they’ve been seeing each other, he shared that she is not on social media. He also noted that while Brittani does not watch McAfee’s show, she is a fan of the sports commentator.

McAfee, 37, thanked Brittani for her support and joked that now the world knows “Aaron is in love” which earned a round of aws.

“It’s a good feeling, boys,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers’ relationship with Brittani is the first romance he’s shared publicly following his split from ex-fiancée Shailene Woodley. Rodgers and Woodley, 33, first sparked romance rumors in July 2020. The following year, Rodgers confirmed their relationship in February 2021 when he pulled a similar casual relationship reveal.

Aaron Rodgers and Ex-Girlfriend Shailene Woodley’s Relationship Timeline

“I got engaged and played some of the best football of my career,” Rodgers shared while accepting an award during the NFL Honors Awards.

One year later, Rodgers and the actress called it quits. “Thanks for letting me chase after you the first couple months after we met, and finally letting me catch up to you and be a part of your life,” he wrote via Instagram in February 2022. “Thanks for always having my back, for the incredible kindness you show me and everyone you meet, and for showing me what unconditional love looks like, I love you and am grateful for you.”

Since their public breakup, Woodley has been candid about how the split took a toll on her.

“I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry,” Woodley said in a December interview with Outside magazine. “It was not right. But it was beautiful.”

Woodley added that same year she went through “really awful, traumatic thing.”

Shailene Woodley Hints What Caused High-Profile Split From Aaron Rodgers

“I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy,” she said about the six-month depression, which seemingly overlapped with the end of her and Rodgers’ relationship. “I really understood depression and anxiety and complete soul detachment.”

Rodgers has also been linked to Olivia Munn and Danica Patrick in the past. He made a reference to his past A-list romances in his recent Netflix series, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, while discussing how he’s dealt with getting paparazzi attention.

“I didn’t do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye,” he said as photos of him with Munn, Woodley and Patrick appeared on screen.

Billie Eilish doesn’t gatekeep her makeup routine.

Eilish, 23, shared via TikTok on Sunday, December 22, every product she uses to get glammed up before hitting the stage during her Hit Me Hard & Soft: The Tour. In true hair-and-makeup tradition, Eilish first started by taming her locks. In order to get her flat-ironed hairstyle, Eilish sectioned off a portion of her crown and flattened her “cowlick” down by first spraying a chunk of her hair with water and then drying it. She then tied her mane into a ponytail before going in with her makeup.

Eilish prepped her skin with the Biba Daily Moisturizer and then swept a Q-tip across her waterline to ensure her eyes were clean before applying liner. To make her ocean eyes pop, Eilish used the Maybelline TattooStudio eyeliner in a dark brown shade. The singer drew a subtle wing on the outer corners of her eyes before going in with the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes eyeshadow palette and smudged her liner. She then cleaned up her eyeliner with an angled brush and makeup remover to ensure it was as sharp as possible.

Moving onto her face makeup, Eilish touched up any blemishes with the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer before going in with a Laura Mercier powder. She brought back in her natural freckles with a dotting tool and added the perfect amount of blush and highlighter to her cheeks.

Eilish filled in her brows with a gel before gluing them down. After elongating her lashes with a touch of mascara, Eilish lined her pout with a stain before going in with a nude lip liner to further define her lips. She then filled in her lips with the same product and patted a bit of the color off.

♬ ilomilo – Billie Eilish

Elish then dressed in a backwards hat and a silky black top before hitting the stage.

“95 minutes of sweating and running around & everything looks decent!” she captioned the post. “I barely know what im doing but heres what works for me & what i do before every show on tour love you guys.” 
Shortly after posting her tutorial, Eilish’s lip combo went viral with fans trying out the stain liner for themselves.

Beauty gurus and fans complimented Eilish’s makeup skills in the comments section.

Jordon Hudson shared a series of photos from a recent date night with boyfriend Bill Belichick, including one poorly-timed selfie of the new University of North Carolina head coach. 

Hudson, 24, posted a carousel of photos via Instagram on Sunday, December 22 from New York City’s American Museum of Natural History’s annual Museum Gala earlier this month, which marked the red carpet debut for the couple for the former collegiate cheerleader and Belichick, 72. 

In a selfie taken by Hudson, Belichick was caught with his eyes closed while leaning his forehead into Hudson. 

While the photo itself might not have been picture perfect, the rest of the event — which Hudson called “more than just an incredible Night at the Museum” — certainly was. 

A Timeline of Bill Belichick's Relationship With 24-Year-Old Jordon Hudson

“The evening was saturated with all of my favourite things: friendship, education, philanthropy, glamour, beet salad, Billy, dance-worthy music, ornithological & oceanic exhibits,” Hudson wrote. “We created so many great memories together while supporting a great cause; my heart is filled to the brim!!!”

As the daughter of a former fisherman and a self-described “philosopher” and “natural heritage activist,” Hudson gushed about the work of the Museum, which opened in 1871. 

“This organization is committed to preserving history, driving contemporary research, expanding the boundaries of human knowledge and providing accessible education to all ages,” Hudson wrote. “The wide-spread importance and applicability of natural history education is far more relevant than many people understand; it reinforces a sense of biocentrism, promotes better policy creation, preserves culture and heritage, and teaches us about the world we interact with on a daily basis.”

Hudson and Belichick made their relationship official in October 2024 when the former collegiate cheerleader first posted photos of the pair via Instagram. The duo initially met while sitting next to each other on a plane in 2021, while Hudson was still in college.

Belichick signed a five-year, $50 million deal to be the new head football coach at the University of North Carolina on December 11. 

Hudson was front and center at his introductory press conference held on the school’s Chapel Hill campus, and hinted she planned on making the move with Belichick. 

Bill Belichick's Ex Posts Cryptic Message on Day of North Carolina Hire

“We are onto Chapel Hill!!!” Hudson posted via her Instagram Story alongside the university’s announcement of Belichick’s hire. 

The decision of Belichick to move to college football sent shockwaves through the sports world. He previously won six Super Bowls as head coach of the NFL’s New England Patriots during a 24-year tenure with the franchise, before they decided to part ways in January 2024. 

In a statement after his hiring was announced, Belichick said his family’s history played a role in his decision. Belichick’s father, Steve, was an assistant coach at North Carolina from 1953 to 1955.

“I am excited for the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill,” Belichick said in a statement. “I grew up around college football with my dad and treasured those times. I have always wanted to coach in college and now I look forward to building the football program in Chapel Hill.”

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.”

Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus is pregnant and expecting her first baby with fiancé Wayne Duece.

“I found out October 28,” Broadus, 25, told E! News in an interview published Monday, December 23. “This baby is so unplanned, but we are soooooo blessed.”

Broadus — who was diagnosed with lupus at age 6 — said she is currently four months along and feeling great.

“I’m a high-risk pregnancy and doctors were very concerned for me and the baby,” Broadus explained, “but God has his hands on me, and me and the baby are doing perfectly fine. I’m having a girl.”

Snoop Dogg's Daughter Cori and Fiance Wayne’s Relationship Timeline

Soon after Broadus shared the news, Duece took to social media and expressed his excitement about becoming a father. “Girl dad ,” he wrote via Instagram on December 23. “Can’t wait to meet you baby girl .”

Broadus’ baby news comes after she participated in a three-part E! special titled Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story. The show documented Broadus and Duece’s love story and decision to postpone their wedding after she suffered a severe stroke at 24.

Instead of planning their nuptials, the pair now appear to be focused on becoming parents.

“I’m just excited to love on my baby girl and make her feel like she’s the prettiest in the world,” Broadus told E!. “Growing up, I wasn’t the most confident and never felt like I fit in, so just to instill all the beautiful things in her head at a young age. And I’m having a mini me. Wayne said he’s excited to have someone that looks like me. He knows she is going to be so beautiful and he just can’t wait to build things for her and give her all the love in the world.”

Another man Broadus can count on for love and support is her dad. The Voice coach — who shares son Corde, 30, and Cordell, 27, with wife Shante Broadus and son Julian, 26, from a previous relationship — previously gushed about the close bond he has with his youngest child.

Inside Snoop Dogg and Daughter Cori's Relationship Amid Health Struggles

“We have a very tight bond. She’s my only daughter,” he exclusively told Us Weekly for his and Broadus’ cover story earlier this month. “That in itself is special.”

Broadus added, “It’s a beautiful relationship. I’m the princess. He had two boys, and then me, his baby girl. It’s a different type of love. You have to be softer, more loving and caring and more sensitive and fragile.”

Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story is available to stream now on Peacock.

Designer brands like Lowe to even department stores like Target have all deemed the fair isle sweater style a top trend for fall/winter 2024-25. Causing me to do a deep dive, I realized that the style has long been a favorite of royals. It was originally popularized by King Edward VIII in the 1920s and most recently worn by one of our favorite style icons, Kate Middleton.

Proving that this is a timeless style, Middleton was last seen wearing a fair isle sweater last winter — that we know of! That was her latest public appearance wearing one but because they’re a cozy style, we’re willing to bet she’s worn them time and time over behind closed doors — such as to their cozy getaways to Balmoral castle! Her sweater pick from English brand Holland Cooper is still in stock and available to buy — just at a steeper price point of $299.

If you love her fair isle sweater pick but don’t want to spend that much on just one style, we hear you! That’s why we found a lookalike version of her pick — and it’s just $34 on Amazon.

Get the ​​Amazon Essentials Crewneck Sweater for just $34 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, December 23, 2024, but are subject to change.

Kate Middleton's Rich Mom Chelsea Boots Look is $32 on Amazon!

Recreate cozy cabin getaway style the royal way with the Amazon Essentials Crewneck Sweater. Like the Princess of Wales’s pick, this style features the classic fair isle pattern and a mainly white coloring. It does have a few different tweaks however that we think make it even more wearable! These are having a crewneck design, a slim fit and a soft and stretchy fabric blend made of cotton, polyester, acrylic and elastane.

Aside from the white and burgundy color pick that most-closely matches Middleton’s pick, this sweater comes in several eye-catching colors as well. You can also find it in brown, blues, black, multi-color styles and a few more! The sweater also comes in a larger size selection for more body types, that ranges from XS to XXL.

To confirm our beliefs that this sweater makes a great wardrobe pick is its section of five-star ratings, which is now sitting at over 1,400 entries!

One shopper said the sweater is “literally everything” they “dreamed of,” saying that it has a “great pattern,” is “very soft,” “fits right,” and is “not itchy in the least.”

If you want to copy Middleton’s full look, pair the sweater with some Chelsea boots, skinny jeans and a shearling jacket! However, if you’re wanting to put your own spin on it you can wear it with leggings and some booties for traveling or with a skirt and heels for a winter party — it goes with so much!

Meghan Markle’s Leg-Heightening Pants Style Makes You Look Slimmer — And Richer

Considering this style has stuck around for hundreds of years, we’re confident it’ll be around for hundreds more. This Kate Middleton-approved style for $34 on Amazon — 89% less than her original pick!

Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum shared a behind-the-scenes clip of him and some teammates learning the choreography to an iconic chant from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

In a video shared via X on Sunday, December 22, Bynum, 26, taught Josh Metellus, Byron Murphy Jr., Harrison Phillips and Theo Jackson the hand motions and footwork that the Camp Rock 2 cast performed in the 2010 Disney Channel Original Movie.

“‘CAMP ROCK!!!!’ Behind the scenes 90’s babies this is for y’all! ,” he captioned the clip.

Vikings’ Camryn Bynum Does Celebration Dance Inspired by Olympian Raygun

Bynum shared footage of the athletes rehearsing and then performing the choreo in uniform on the football field. The Vikings defense broke out into the dance after a takeaway late into the fourth quarter during their Sunday game against the Seattle Seahawks. Jackson’s interception of a pass from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith with under a minute left in the game sealed the Vikings’ 27-24 victory.

Bynum also included a clip from Camp Rock 2 for a side-by-side comparison. In the footage, Demi Lovato led a group of campers in the chant. Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas also recited the cheer. Kevin, 37, retweeted the video of the Vikings learning the nostalgic dance.

Nick, 32, reflected on the Camp Rock 2 scene — which went viral on TikTok a decade after the film premiered — during an August interview with People.

“I am super amused, I would say, by the clips from it that have since gone viral now on TikTok and other places,’” the Jonas Brothers musician said. “I’m going to say ‘amusing’ because I also think it’s hilarious. I remember thinking of that one in particular — the sort of Stomp moment — I remember thinking while we were shooting, ‘This is really strange.’”

Demi Lovato Through the Years

Nick and his brothers played members of the boy band Connect Three in Camp Rock and its sequel, while Lovato, 32, played camper and aspiring musician Mitchie Torres. Lovato previously poked fun at her performance while rewatching the OG film in 2020.

“The amount of awkward f—ing things I did in this movie … I can’t,” the “Heart Attack” singer wrote via her Instagram Story alongside a scene of herself and Camp Rock costar Alyson Stoner.

The Camp Rock 2 chant is not the first time the Minnesota Vikings have celebrated a successful play with a pop culture reference. During an October game against the New York Jets, Bynum and Metellus, 26, recreated the handshake that Lindsay Lohan and Simon Kunz perform in The Parent Trap. The NFL stars broke out the handshake’s iconic hip bumps and hand slaps after Bynum intercepted a pass from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“As soon as I knew we were playing in London — and I watched The Parent Trap last week — I’m like, ‘This is it,’” Bynum said in a post-game press conference. He called the 1998 film, which takes place partially in London, “one of my favorite movies.”
