Tori Spelling doesn’t hold back the mic when she’s dishing on her sex life.
Since Spelling launched her “MisSpelling” podcast in April 2024, the actress has been candid with her sex confessions over the years.
“I could talk about sex all day,” Spelling said on an August 2024 episode where she chatted with family friendWilliam Shatner about OnlyFans, orgasms, enemas and more. “So, I’m not mad.”
In addition to her nonchalant attitude when it comes to the birds and the bees, Spelling has also been candid about her previous partners — which includes ex-husband Dean McDermott and former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar Brian Austin Green.
Keep scrolling to see Spelling’s wildest sex confessions over the years:
Losing Her Virginity
Spelling opened up about the first time she had sex, which didn’t happen for her until after she turned 18. Spelling revealed that she shared the milestone moment with her ex-boyfriend Ryan Ozar.
“I didn’t lose my virginity until I was over 18, so it’s not like I haphazardly slept with someone,” Spelling reflected in April 2024. “I thought he was the one.”
During the episode, Spelling chatted with the late Shannen Doherty and shared the Charmed star’s unexpected connection to her virginity story.
“Do you remember the Betsy Johnson dress that you wore in our biggest cast photo? It was black, floral … We used to share clothes, everything,” Spelling asked her former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar.
Doherty then questioned if Spelling lost her virginity in her dress. Spelling clarified that Doherty actually borrowed her dress.
“Umm, no, I’m going to say that you wore the dress I lost my virginity in,” Spelling said. “I told you. … I literally said, ‘There’s a blood stain in the back.'”

After losing her virginity to Ozar, Spelling revealed that she cheated on him with Green. When Green was a guest on Spelling’s podcast in November 2024, she reminded him about the time they hooked up at Disneyland.
“We had sex for the first time in Disneyland,” Spelling said, to which Green asked, “At Disneyland? Really? What?” Spelling clarified that it was inside his hotel room, to which he noted, “Oh, OK, so not Disneyland. Like, not on a ride or anything like that.”
Anal Sex and Lack of Orgasms
The actress got very candid about how much she enjoys anal sex and used an enema before the act.
“I actually enjoy it,” she said in August 2024, noting she’s unsure about the nerve endings in that part of the body. “If it goes in here, it’s touching something that feels good.”
While Spelling likes the feeling of anal sex, she confessed that she had not received an orgasm from it. In fact for Spelling, achieving an orgasm on its own was a “whole other challenge.”
Her 1st and Only Threesome

Spelling admitted that she had a threesome with a man and a woman while she was filming Beverly Hills, 90210 aboard the Queen Mary. She didn’t reveal who was involved in the act.
“I didn’t have any exploration wants with a female,” she said in February 2025. “So this was behind the scenes, behind closed doors of the Queen Mary, of all places. My goodness. This boy wanted it and I played along. I don’t think at any point he was like, ‘Oh, my god,’ because he would never have gone forward with it if I had spoken up and said, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ But yeah, I was like, ‘OK, you know, I feel safe with this human. I feel safe with this female human.’ And sure, I always say you gotta try anything once.”
Not Using Protection

Spelling made a candid confession about how she and McDermott never used a condom.
“We never throughout our relationship used protection … [our kids] came when they wanted to come,” she said in February 2025 of her seven children she and McDermott.

Lily Allen identified her own relationship “red flags,” revealing she didn’t have the healthiest dynamic with her first romantic partner.
“As soon as I got my first boyfriend, Lester, [there was a] complete transference of intimacy,” Allen, 39, said during the Monday, February 24, episode of her “Miss Me?” podcast. “Not only did I not want to touch or be cuddled or be kissed by anyone in my family, I couldn’t engage in it with them either. It was like, this person is where I’ve put that now.”
Looking back, Allen confessed, “It’s incredibly, like, red flag, codependent behavior that I just put all of my emotional dependency on that one person.”
Since her first relationship, Allen has had several public romances including her marriage to Sam Cooper. The pair tied the knot in June 2011 and welcomed their first child, daughter Ethel, that same year. Allen and Cooper welcomed their second daughter, Marnie, in 2013.
The “Hard Out Here” singer separated from Cooper, 47, in 2016, and they finalized their divorce two years later.
Allen eventually moved on romantically with actor David Harbour in 2019. She confirmed their engagement in May 2020 and the pair got married that September.

Earlier this year, split rumors surfaced about Allen and Harbour, 49. Neither of them has publicly spoken about the speculation, but Allen did give fans an update about her mental health during the February 13 episode of her and Miquita Oliver’s podcast.
“I just feel very grateful to have been given the time and the space that I needed. I went into a sort of treatment center for a few weeks, which was great,” Allen told her listeners at the time. “I did a lot of group therapy and some individual therapy, and I needed some time and space away from everything.”
She explained that during her multi-week stay, she worked on her “inner child,” confessing, “It’s a lifelong journey of healing.”
Allen, who previously struggled with drugs and alcohol, noted that she was in “emotional turmoil” before taking time to work on herself. “I’m not saying I’m 100 percent there and I’m not saying that I’m getting it 100 percent right or ever will, but I’m definitely in a stronger place,” she concluded.
“Well, she did send me a list,” Cohen, 56, revealed during the Monday, February 24, episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
When asked who was on her list of who he could cast in a new season of the Bravo hit, Cohen got tongue-tied. “Well, I mean, a couple of them were …” he told cohost John Hill.
Hill chimed in, wondering, “Was she on that list?” Cohen confirmed, “Oh, yeah. She’s on the list. It was, I think, being kind of anchored by her.”
Cohen noted that he does like Bensimon — who starred on RHONY from 2009 to 2011 and later made appearances in 2014 and 2015— but wouldn’t divulge who she wanted to join her on the proposed upgraded show. (Bensimon, 56, also appeared on season 4 of The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls’ Trip.)
“Funnily enough, she does email me more than you might expect,” Cohen told his listeners, admitting, “I can’t find this email babe, but she pitched [me a list].”
The Bravo producer added that one of the people on Bensimon’s dream casting lineup is “someone that I’ve known and someone you know who is not going to do it.”

“So, I got the email. That’s all I’ll say,” he confessed.
Cohen and the rest of the RHONY team have gotten some heat lately after season 15’s low ratings and controversial story lines. Bravo even put out a casting call for RHONY in January before the season reunion. (At the January reunion, the cast seemingly moved on from Brynn Whitfield’s claim that she told Ubah Hassan about her sexual assault and Hassan ignored it. Whitefield’s alleged stretching of the truth caused a rift among the whole group.)
In response, Bensimon told Page Six on Sunday, February 23, that she would happily return to the franchise and help bring it back to life.
“Everybody says I should be back on Housewives,” Bensimon said. “And I’m happy to do it with — not to be mean, but, like, not this cast. I sent a whole list to Andy. I was like: Here’s the mothership.”
She didn’t name names but teased that her list included women who were all “very New York,” explaining, “My biggest criticism — and it’s been the same thing throughout since I was on — is that the ultimate character on the show is New York and we’re not seeing New York.”
RHONY’s cast and future isn’t the only franchise that has fans talking. The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars are currently in limbo as to whether or not they’ll be back for a season 15.
“Bravo has said nothing. No one has any information. There is no information,” Cohen said during Monday’s SiriusXM episode of Andy Cohen Live. “I cannot stress this enough. Y’all are not going to hear anything for a while.”
He also shut down the rumors about Giudice, 52, getting her own spinoff, saying only when fans read a story that says “Bravo has announced” or “Andy said on his radio [show]” will they be factual.
Cohen’s statements back up Us Weekly’s previous report that the RHONJ stars are awaiting a decision on casting.
“All of them have been in contact with production, but not with any news,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this month. “There’s still an open line of communication but no news on who is coming back or who is not coming back.”
Season 14 of the series starred Guidice, Gorga, 45, Catania, 54, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabrael. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler also made appearances as “friends.”
The insider noted that although there’s no news about what’s next for RHONJ, “Production wants the show to come back.”
A spokesperson for Bravo told Us in a statement that “no decisions have been made around casting for RHONJ.”

OnlyFans influencer Lily Phillips is often candid about her profession as a sex worker — and she’s had a lot to say, especially after sleeping with 101 men in one day.
Phillips made headlines in December 2024 after she revealed she’d completed the sex challenge. The men who participated were all screened for STDs, and Phillips insisted they wear condoms when they had sex.
Since then, Phillips has been the subject of media and social media attention and scrutiny. Here’s a look at everything she’s said about her OnlyFans career:
Her Income Is ‘In the Millions’

A lot of people are curious about how much money Phillips brings in via OnlyFans. Though she hasn’t disclosed an exact figure, in January 2025 she told E! News her income is currently “in the millions.”
In the same interview, Phillips said she doesn’t see herself stopping sex work no matter how much money she makes. “There’s no goal. It’s not like, ‘Oh, if I hit this figure, I’ll stop doing this,’” she explained. “I’m doing it for the love of the game. I just really enjoy it.”
Sex work was also something she did “as a hobby” before turning to OnlyFans. “I want to be unique in the industry,” she said. “This is kind of my niche. I have no regrets because everything I’ve done has led up to this point in my life.”
Her Parents Know She’s on OnlyFans

In December 2024, Phillips said in the YouTube documentary I Slept With 100 Men in One Day that her parents are very aware of her job. “My parents knew straight from the start what I was doing,” she explained. “I was very up-front about it. Obviously, at the start, they were a bit apprehensive because they wanted me to be safe and they wanted me to make good decisions and stuff like that. I just think I can’t hold myself back because I’m scared of what other people might think.”
But that doesn’t mean she fills them in on everything. “They don’t need to know the logistics,” she added. “I do feel a little bit embarrassed. … I guess because it’s not what my parents would have chosen for me to do. Doesn’t mean my parents are going to disown me or hate me or anything like that. I just don’t want them to think less of me.”
She Has Claimed to Be Pregnant

Months after her “100 Men” challenge went viral, Phillips claimed she is pregnant. She seemingly announced the news via Instagram on February 18, 2025, when she posted two photos: one of her cradling a baby bump and a second of a positive pregnancy test. “The secret is out,” Phillips captioned her post. “Baby Phillips 2025.”
Amid rumors that the pregnancy is not real, Phillips laughed off speculation that she is lying about the milestone. When asked by a TMZ reporter on February 21, 2025, whether the pregnancy is fake, she replied, “No.”
It seems not everyone approves of Phillips’ sex challenges. In January 2025, she revealed that Airbnb banned her from the platform after she used a home from the rental service as her location while sleeping with 101 men in a day.
“It was really scary because they could f—ing sue me, but fingers crossed,” she told the “Plug Talk” podcast. “If they sue me, I’ll just buy it off them and make it, like, a tourist attraction.”
Carolyn Wiger already has an idea of what she’s going to say to Danielle Reyes when they meet again at The Traitors reunion.
“‘Good game, girl,’” the Survivor alum, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, February 24, when asked what she wants to tell Danielle, 53, when they’re face-to-face following Carolyn’s recent banishment. “People are telling me this: ‘Carolyn, she’s getting so much hate.’ The game is done.”
While Carolyn acknowledged that she was “super emotional” after watching the recent Traitors episode back, she’s gradually coming to terms with Danielle’s move to get her out.
“I was pissed after watching that dang edited episode. I’m not going to lie, I was pissed,” she confessed. “But it’s been a few days now, and I’m just not in the same place. And I truly do feel so grateful for the experience.”
Carolyn explained that she’s not “just saying that to sound positive,” but instead she’s looking forward to the future.
“There’s nothing that at the reunion, if I get it out or say it to Danielle… it’s not going to change anything. It’s not,” she told Us. “And at the end of the day she got me, and I’m not going to beat myself up.”
Carolyn confessed that at first she was hard on herself for being “so emotional” when she would try to get her point across, and shared that she wishes that she could change up her communication style.

“Even how I’m perceived sometimes in my arguments and how, because I say things so emotionally,” she explained. ”So I was like, ‘I wish I could talk like that. I wish I could talk in a way where people are going to actually hear me.’ But truly, at the end of the day, I do believe there’s two people in that game who think [Danielle is] a traitor and I didn’t have a chance anyway.”
During the premiere episode, Carolyn, Danielle and Bob the Drag Queen were selected by Alan Cumming as the traitors for season 3. The trio were later joined by Boston Rob Marianoin the turret. Now, Danielle is the sole traitor left and she’s selected to recruit her Big Brother bestie, Britney Haynes, to join her. Before Carolyn’s banishment, Danielle wanted to bring Britney in as a traitor. However, Carolyn was not on board with that decision — so the duo opted to murderSam Asghari instead.
After disagreeing with the decision to seduce a faithful, Danielle helped plant seeds against Carolyn to get her out — which ultimately worked. The pair went at it during the roundtable which ended up with Danielle comparing Carolyn to Forrest Gump. While Danielle claimed the remark was a compliment, Carolyn doesn’t see it that way.
“I certainly didn’t take it as a compliment. It hurt,” she told Us. “Then I say to myself, ‘But Carolyn, you’re putting yourself out there the way that you do. Does it mean that I deserve to be called that?’ But at the end of the day, it helps my game.”
Carolyn shared that criticism of her strategy is fair game, but that she wants the personal remarks to be left behind.
“When people make fun of our gameplay, or [say] ‘that was a stupid move,’ or ‘that was a go ahead‘ and call me a dumb player or … I didn’t make the best move or say that I should have done this or that. That’s to me, go ahead,” she told Us. “But when it comes to the personal stuff … I’m not going to lie with playing Survivor the first time — and that’s where I don’t search my name anymore — because it’s like I’ve seen enough comments where people think that I’m on drugs or that my face had a stroke or that I am crazy, or they diagnosed me with something because of my personality.”
New episodes of The Traitors are released Thursdays on Peacock.
UFC legend Chuck Liddell is engaged to his girlfriend, Heidi Rae, after a well-orchestrated proposal on the ice at Anaheim’s Honda Center.
Liddell, 55, pulled off the epic surprise on Wednesday, February 19, at the home of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks — but first, he had to get her to the arena.
The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, who has been dating Rae since 2021, said the couple had been asked to participate in a photo shoot by their beloved Ducks.
“I truly thought we were there to do a shoot and everything was completely normal,” Rae exclusively told Us Weekly. “I’ve been to countless of these with him throughout the years.”
Once the couple made it on the ice – in custom Ducks jerseys, of course – the arena Jumbotron, which had been lowered to the ground, read “Heidi, will you marry me?” Liddell then dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring with Ducks’ mascot, Wild Wing, watching on intently.
“Surprised is an understatement,” Rae said. “I just cried because I was so overcome with emotions. We’ve both wanted this for so long and it’s been a long road. Having your happily ever finally come was surreal. Getting to spend your life with your best friend and the person you trust most in the world is an indescribable happiness.”
Liddell said logistical hangups meant he had to “cancel and change” the proposal a couple of times, but he was confident about the plan when the big day finally arrived.
“I wasn’t really worried about her finding out,” Liddell told Us. “We had done pretty well. She didn’t ask a lot of questions. She’s done this with me in the past. It was probably a little different, but I don’t think she thought that much about it.”
When it came to the ring, the UFC Hall of Famer sought the advice of two very important people in his soon-to-be fiancée’s life.
“I had help from her daughters,” Liddell said. “I know when to ask for help. She had a very particular style.”
Rae’s daughters – Ashtyn, 25, and Halle, 21 – picked out a pear-shaped canary yellow diamond surrounded with pavé diamonds on a diamond pavé eternity band.

“It was just so beautiful,” Rae said of the ring. “It was quite enormous.”
As for their eventual wedding, Liddell and Rae are actually third in line in their blended family when it comes to making their way to the altar.

Jana Kramer isn’t thrilled with the reasons why she decided to undergo breast augmentation in 2021.
“My biggest regret with my boobs is that I don’t know if I solely did it for me,” Kramer, 41, shared on her “Whine Down” podcast on Monday, February 24. “I think that’s what I could say would be my biggest piece of advice. It has to be one hundred percent for you.”
The One Tree Hill actress went on to reveal that a big part of the reason why she even considered getting a boob job was due to her ex husband Mike Caussin. (The twosome divorced in 2021 after six years of marriage.)
“I was in a marriage that a husband was cheating all the time and I would see the women that he was cheating with and I’m like, ‘I look nothing like them,’” she explained. “I thought about it for a while, like, maybe if I had bigger boobs, he wouldn’t cheat or he’d find me sexier or something like that.”
Although she didn’t like the fact that her decision had to do with her ex, Kramer now feels like she “got to a place” where she does feel like she did the breast augmentation just for her after choosing a doctor from home that she felt comfortable with.
“I loved it,” Kramer gushed about her end results. “I had a lot of fun with them post divorce because Mike never actually got to feel them … which was glorious.”
Even though she does like how she looks with the implants, Kramer did admit she’d like to take them out eventually and just lift them again.
“I think I kind of just want it to be more natural and not have an implant in there,” she explained. “So when that time comes for me to take them out and redo them again, I don’t think I’d put them back in.”
In March 2021, Kramer previously discussed how her feelings on having plastic surgery shifted after she welcomed her two kids Jolie, 9, and Jace, 6, with Caussin, 37, and after his infidelity.
“With everything that happened in my marriage I thought I would be loved more, sexier, or quite frankly he would choose me. But the better part of me knew, that was a distraction,” Kramer wrote via Instagram at the time. “It still bothered me though. And after having babies, I had a new set of insecurities with my body. Things didn’t go back to normal, and I carry a lot of embarrassment when I’m undressed. I don’t want to feel that way anymore. That was the ‘click’ that showed I should follow through.”
Kramer told her fans that she’s “doing what’s right for her” and encouraged them to “celebrate” her decision.
“I’m at a place where I feel empowered to do what I want. I’m being honest about what it means,” she shared. “If you need a push to give yourself that same grace, here it is. … Do what’s right for you, and I’ll celebrate with you, too.”

Jesse Plemons is opening up about gaining weight for his role in 2015’s Black Mass — and why, he probably wouldn’t do it again.
Speaking with The Independent in an interview published on Saturday, February 22, Plemons, 36, spoke about putting on weight for role as former mobster Kevin Weeks in Black Mass, saying it “did mess [him] up a bit” afterward.
“I never imagined getting to play a part like that,” he told the outlet, explaining that gaining weight “was a decision I made at that age, given that opportunity for that director — and I was playing a real person. I don’t regret it.” He continued, “But it was very easy to put the weight on, and much more difficult taking it off.”
Plemons added, “I don’t know if it’s something I would do again — because it did mess me up a bit.” He also shared that his choice to gain weight for the role wound up having a prolonged effect on his acting career.
“I felt like that decision I made sort of dictated the types of parts I was being asked to play, and then started to seep into my own identity,” he said. “Which wasn’t necessarily who I was before that.”
Plemons has also lost weight for his acting roles. He revealed that his role in Civil War in 2024 encouraged him to make certain lifestyle changes, including intermittent fasting, which contributed to him losing weight, saying his casting in the film “snapped me out of it.”
“As well as having young kids,” Plemons said. “And I just got a handle on it again. Having lost the weight, aside from feeling better, it does feel like I’ve opened another door to potential parts I can play.” (Plemons shares sons Ennis, 6, and James, 3, with wife Kirsten Dunst.)

Plemons has previously opened up about losing weight, telling Entertainment Tonight in June last year that he shed 50 pounds “over the course of a year and a half or so.”
He added, “I have much more energy [now] and, like I’ve said, I’ve got young kids, so I got to keep up with them.”
Plemons had a brief cameo in Civil War as an ultranationalist militant. Last year, he told The Los Angeles Times that part of his decision to lose weight was both due to “getting older” but also for an upcoming film role.
He told the outlet in June 2024, “I hate even getting specific because then it turns into a whole thing, but there was a part that I did that in my mind I could not imagine him as the size that I was.”
Plemons also clapped back at assumptions that he was using Ozempic, a type 2 diabetes medication that has become popular for its efficacy in weight loss, to help him lose weight.
“It’s really unfortunate that I decided to get healthy when everyone decided to take Ozempic,” he said. “It doesn’t matter, everyone’s going to think I took Ozempic anyways.”
The Bachelor‘s Alexe Godin opened up about every single one of her tattoos.
Alexe quickly made her way into Bachelor Nation’s hearts while starring on Grant Ellis’ season 29, and took to TikTok on Sunday, February 23, to explain the stories behind her tattoos.
“I was super nervous to go on The Bachelorbecause they had never had a full-sleeve tattoo girl before on the show,” she said, noting she wanted to look like Miley Cyrus with a sleeve. “I was worried people would judge me and then I thought, ‘Who cares? This is me.’”
She added, “I wish I could say they all have super deep meanings, but to be honest, they all were very impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decisions.”
Alexe first showed an underboob tattoo, which she got when she was just 19 years old. She explained that it was written in Greek, because she believed she was a quarter Greek, but is only one-sixteenth. “I had no way of translating it from someone who speaks Greek, so I went on Google Translate.”
She continued, “It’s supposed to say something corny like, ‘Live by the sun, love by the moon,’” however, it actually reads, “Live on the sun, love for the moon.”

Moving onto her arm, Alexe has a butterfly on her shoulder, representing “evolving and becoming a better person.” Next, she showed off an eye tattoo, which she later covered with a large mermaid because the artwork wasn’t her style. “That was the first time I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. What did I just put on my arm?! That is there forever. Now, I have to commit to a full sleeve.”

Elsewhere on her arm, she has “Honey” written, a drawing of a woman with flowers that also represents “evolving,” and a bumble bee, which is one of her obsessions — even though she wanted it to be much smaller.
Alexe also flaunted a bull skull drawing, which she thought “looked cool” on her bicep.
While she was getting the bull, Alexe thought her arm looked like it was missing something, so the artist suggested she get another at the same appointment.
Kyle Cooke and Craig Conover have been friends for years — but that hasn’t stopped them from feuding over Loverboy and loyalty.
Cooke launched his alcohol brand, Loverboy, in 2018, with his now-wife, Amanda Batula, and friend Carl Radke by his side. Five years later, the canned cocktails landscape had grown even bigger and pal Conover jumped on the bandwagon.
When Conover announced in April 2024 that he was an investor in Spritz Society, Cooke claimed there was “no bad blood” between them. However, Cooke confessed during a May 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that it “rubbed me the wrong way” how Conover told him he was working with a competitor.
“First and foremost, all my friends that I’ve filmed with know that I’ve raised money,” Cooke later claimed during a June 2024 episode of the “Trading Secrets” podcast. “The only person that ever expressed interest was Carl.”
Cooke, who has known Conover since 2018, alleged, “Craig never expressed interest. He never once asked to invest in Loverboy.”
Scroll down for a complete timeline of Cooke and Conover’s drama surrounding Loverboy — and see where they stand now:
The Initial Announcement
“I’m so excited to announce that I am now an investor in @spritz! I first found out about Spritz last summer when me and Paige [DeSorbo] were on our way to @taylorswift at Metlife and the party bus was stocked with these delicious wine spritzers,” Conover wrote in a lengthy Instagram post in April 2024. “One sip was all it took for me to realize they were onto something and I needed to learn more about the brand — I loved the concept of a refreshing wine based drink & how they brought everyone together.”
He gushed, “I’m so excited to be in the Spritz Society family and for y’all to see the amazing projects we’ve got in the works.”
Craig Breaks Down His Spritz Choice

“Obviously I’ve always had respect for Austen [Kroll] and Kyle and all of them but being in the liquor business or wine liquor business now, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh. This is a new territory,’” Conover told Page Six in May 2024, referring to Kroll’s Trop Hop beer and Cooke’s Loverboy alcohol brand.
Conover noted that he has “always respected Kyle’s hustle,” but he also “didn’t understand it at times” until he got involved in the industry. “I understand why he’s had to work so hard, because the grind in the alcohol business is extreme,” he added.
Conover alleged that prior to the Spritz Society investment, he “offered to buy into” Kroll’s beer company but Kroll declined his offer. Conover also claimed he “would have loved to invest” in Loverboy, but “that wasn’t an option.”
Kyle Goes on ‘Watch What Happens Live’
Cooke initially told Andy Cohen on a May 2024 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that there was “no bad blood” between him and Conover over Spritz Society. “I think this is being blown out of proportion,” he explained. “I don’t really think there was an investment, and it seems like all the press is referencing me.”
Cooke later said, “Look, I wish him the best, but the way he handled it, and we don’t have time to get into it, really rubbed me the wrong way, and I’m just trying to take the high road.” He alleged Conover “has a reputation of lying and he lied to me.”
The Investor Issue

After Spritz Society founder Ben Soffer’s wife, Claudia Oshry, claimed during a May 2024 episode of “The Toast” podcast that Cooke denied Conover the ability to invest in Loverboy — and alleged that Loverboy has no investors — Cooke addressed the drama.
“I don’t know what got lost in translation. Loverboy has investors, we’ve had investors since 2019,” Cooke said on Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast in June 2024. “I value them immensely. I’ve had lots of them texting me saying, ‘What in the heck is going on?’ I could not have done it without them.”
Cooke claimed that Conover was well aware that he was looking for investors and fundraising opportunities when they were in Vermont for Winter House in March 2022.
“I am not a sole owner. I wanna make that very clear,” Cooke said on the podcast. “We were actually fundraising — I was very vocal about this with my close friends, Craig included, during Winter House [season 2]. I was busy raising a round of financing. It’s like, this is not a secret.”
Nearly two years after Cooke was fundraising in early 2022, he crossed paths with Soffer, Spritz Society’s founder, in New York City. “He had DMed me when we were both at an industry conference in January. And per the timeline his wife laid out, he was already in talks with Craig,” Cooke explained in June 2024 as to how he first connected with Soffer, noting the pair agreed to go to dinner the following month.
“This dinner ended up taking place about two weeks before Craig and I got drinks. We’re talking like receipts and timelines these days [so] dinner was February 7th,” Cooke confirmed. “I really enjoyed the conversation.”
The Summer House star recalled Soffer eventually saying, “‘Hey, maybe we could collab and like throw a party, kind of cross pollinate our audiences.’” While Cooke was entertaining the idea, he learned that Soffer was with Conover the following day and Soffer “never mentioned” it.
“I didn’t know at this time that him and Craig were talking about a collab,” Cooke said, noting, “He knows Craig and I are friends. … I just wish he was a little more transparent with his intentions.”
Cooke confessed that found it “extremely odd” that Soffer didn’t tell him or Conover that he’d been spending time with the other person all while working on an investment deal with Conover.
How Craig Told Kyle About His Spritz Society Situation

Shortly after Cooke met with Soffer in NYC, Conover reached out to go to get drinks in the Big Apple. “It all kind of unfolded in early February, Craig and I got drinks,” Cooke said during the June 2024 podcast episode. “I thought it was just to catch up.”
Cooke claimed that “10 minutes before” their friend Tom Schwartz showed up at the bar, Conover “sprung” his Spritz Society deal on him.
“It sounded very much like the offer on the table was [that] he was being given equity and then boom, he actually left [the bar] early and that was it,” Cooke recalled. “The next day I texted him like, ‘Hey man, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to what you said about this opportunity you have, and please, like, hold off from signing anything. I’d love to put an offer on the table to kind of counter it.’”
Cooke alleged that after some “back and forth” Conover told him it was “too late” for Cooke to counter with a Loverboy offer.
“I just figured he’d at least give me an opportunity to [be] like, ‘Hear me out,’” Cooke continued. “To be honest, I kind of feared that this would impact our friendship because this has been my blood sweat and tears for the last five years.”
Cooke admitted he is “sensitive” about his company, revealing that while he doesn’t need Conover involved in Loverboy he was surprised by the move to go with Spritz Society.
“I just didn’t think one of my good friends would go hop in bed with a competitor,” he said. “You know, that’s it. That was the extent of our conversation.”
‘Watch What Happens Live’ Debacle

Cooke revealed that after his chat with Conover in February 2024, he chose to keep it to himself and not bring up the news publicly. However, that changed when Cohen asked him about their Loverboy quarrel on WWHL in May 2024.
“You’re in the hot seat. … I’ll be honest, like, he caught me off guard, Andy Cohen,” Cooke recalled during the June 2024 podcast, referring to the talk show appearance. “I was ready to talk about Summer House, and I hadn’t thought about this in a while. And I let my emotions get the best of me.”
The reality star continued, “Up until then, I had very consciously decided not to comment via the various press requests about Craig’s involvement in this competitor. I was very much focused on keeping this a private matter.”
Cooke said that it was not his intention to bring it up when he did. He noted that he is not only friends with Conover but he’s close with the Southern Charm star’s then-girlfriend, DeSorbo, as well. (Conover and DeSorbo split in November 2024 after three years of dating.)
“The last thing I’m trying to do is make it awkward for any of us,” Cooke shared, adding that he wishes he “wasn’t so reactionary” on WWHL. (Cooke claimed at the time that Conover “has a reputation of lying and he lied to me.”)
Cooke stands by what he said to Cohen about Conover but confessed he “could have handled it better.” He added: “Sometimes I’m right, but it’s my delivery and it’s my tone and my temper [that] make me dead wrong.”
A Hopeful Future

“I’m pretty bummed with how everything went down,” Cooke told Tartick in June 2024, explaining that the “only choice” now is to “hopefully” not let the career decision “interfere with our friendship.”
Cooked continued: “In all seriousness, I hope to have a chance to talk with Craig. I wanna squash the beef. Like, what’s done is done. I tell ’em straight up like, ‘I’m sorry for being reactionary and Watch What Happens.’”
He concluded, “The irony here is it’s really not about two startups competing against one another. It’s trying to stay relevant in an industry that is really good at keeping the startups small.”
His Instagram Comment
Following Cooke’s appearance on Tartick’s podcast, he doubled down on claims that Conover “never” expressed interest in investing with an Instagram comment.
“The more I think about it, the more I think Craig was intentionally or unintentionally trying to justify things and misled Claudia and Ben as to what we discussed,” Cooke wrote in a comment left on Tartick’s June 2024 Instagram post. “Craig NEVER asked me to invest and never offered to reconsider anything.”
Craig’s Rep Weighs In
“Craig is deeply disappointed and saddened by Kyle’s abrupt accusations,” a rep for Conover told Page Six in June 2024 after Cooke’s appearance on the “Trading Secrets” podcast. “The truth only hurts one person in this instance, and it’s not Craig. Therefore, he will not comment further on this matter nor be drawn into an unprofessional arena.”
The statement continued: “Craig has learned to blame himself and not others for everything that happens in his life, including the success of his products and companies. He looks forward to continuing to share his life with everyone and thanks all his friends and supporters, whom he views as family.”
The Cameras Were Rolling

Conover exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024 that his feud with Cooke was captured by the Summer House cameras. “Unfortunately for you, we did film it,” he teased, confirming season 9 highlights their issues. “That has to carry the tag of you have to wait and watch that.”
Despite their tension during summer 2024, Conover explained they had moved forward. “I love Kyle and we have a really fun history and relationship and he’s one of my favorite people on the network,” he revealed. “I’m glad I was able to go out there and you’ll get to see how that all went.”
The Fences Are Mended
“Andy [Cohen] caught me off guard,” Cooke exclusively told Us at Us Weekly + Pluto TV Reality Stars of the Year Party in October 2024, reflecting on his and Conover’s drama.
Cooke explained, “Ultimately, I cherish friendship above everything else and I think that’s why I was hurt. But [Craig and I are] good. We’re good.”
Even if you live in athleisure, there’s a time and place when sweatpants simply won’t cut it. However, just because you have to dress up for the office or a night out doesn’t mean you should sacrifice comfort.

After news of the 34-year-old’s untimely death broke on Saturday, February 22, his passing was confirmed later that day by Guerrero’s sister Gris Guerrero, who set up a GoFundMe page. His cause of death was not stated.
Kardashian, 44, wrote a lengthy message from the heart in his honor, which she shared via her Instagram Story on Monday, February 24. “Our glam fam means the world to us. We work together, vacation and celebrate our lives together!” she wrote in a caption beneath a group photo of the Kardashian-Jenner clan alongside Guerrero and other members of their beauty team, which appeared to have been captured behind the scenes on the set of a promotional shoot for season one of The Kardashians, before the spinoff series aired on Hulu in April 2022.
Kardashian continued: “Our great respect for the art of hair and [makeup] has led us to us meeting some of the kindest souls and make some of our bestest friends. So when one of our glam family members passes away all of our souls are crushed.”

Kardashian was undoubtedly speaking for her younger siblings, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner. According to photos shared by the stylist, the latter worked with Guerrero the most frequently and recently, as seen in snaps of Kylie before the 2025 Golden Globes in January.
Kardashian confirmed this in Monday’s statement: “My heart breaks for Kylie and everyone who loved Jesus the way we all did. I’m praying for his family, his loved ones and the whole beauty community who feels this deep loss of one of the most talented and kindest to ever do it!”
She concluded her caption with: “Rest in peace @jesushair” followed by the white dove emoji.
Guerrero’s Instagram reveals not only how long he worked with the Kardashian-Jenner family but also how many memorable beauty moments he created — from Kylie, 27, and her spiked updo at the 2024 CFDA Awards to Kim’s first Skims campaign in 2019 when she modeled waist-length extensions and nude bodysuits in photos that launched her shapewear empire.
Sara Foster worked with hair stylist Graham Nation 15 hours before he died on February 14, the actress has revealed.
Foster shared a video from the shoot she and Nation worked together on via Instagram Story on February 23.
“This was the last shot of the day. @grahamnation would be gone 15 hrs later. We were supposed to be with him yesterday,” she wrote. “God damn: tell people how you feel about them. I wish I told him more. We miss you graham.”
Nation also worked with Serena Williams, Demi Moore and Catherine O’Hara. The stylist, whose real name was Graham Cheek, shared a 6-month-old son named Romeo with Tonya Brewer. He died just days after celebrating his first Super Bowl ad, a spot for Michelob Ultra, on February 9.
“My first ever Super Bowl commercial!” he shared via Instagram the following day, on February 10. “What an absolute blast to work on, Thank you Cathrine O’Hara for having me apart of this epic commercial.”

Nation was represented by The Wall Group, which confirmed his death to industry outlet Behind the Chair.
“Graham was a one-of-a-kind soul who impacted every single person he met,” the agency shared in a statement. “We are honored to have been part of his journey and to have helped him share his artistry with the world. Our hearts are broken and we will miss him dearly.”
“Graham was one of the kindest, most gentle souls in this business! His talent was unmistakable, his ego was illegible and his time with us unforgettable,” Behind the Chair founder and creative director Mary Rector told People.
Nation’s death prompted reactions from many of his celebrity clients. “I can not stop thinking about and missing @grahamnation,” Sara’s sister actress Erin Foster wrote via her Instagram Story on February 19. “He left behind a 6 month old baby. We shared diapers and sleep training tips. “I can’t stop thinking about his partner Tonya and what she must be going through, losing her partner and now raising their son alone.”
Hair stylist Divinity Ray shared her tribute under Nation’s final Instagram post, showing off his work with Marissa Bode.
“10 years of knowing you, from cutting hair in our hometown to witnessing you take LA by storm,” she wrote. “You were never too busy to be thoughtful. You were never too big to smile at everyone. You were the most incomprehensible artist. Enough talent to have the biggest ego but instead so humble and sweet. I always described you as an angel on earth. I just never thought you would leave this soon. Rest in Power, brother the world lost one of its brightest lights.”
The wellness landscape is constantly changing, and it goes beyond everyday food choices. Even as a shopping expert, I often forget about the common household products with toxic ingredients because, frankly, they’ve become such a popular presence in kitchens.
Scratched cookware, old dish sponges and plastic food storage containers are out for a reason. Single-use plastic is wasteful and bad for the planet, while nonstick pans are often ridden with forever chemicals that can have detrimental long-term health consequences. I certainly don’t want that!
I’m on a journey to fill my kitchen cabinets with non-toxic home products, and it begins by ditching common household items I once deemed “safe.” Below, these are the eight home items I’m swearing off this year — and what I’m buying instead!
8 Items I’ve Sworn Off — Here’s What I Buy Instead
Traditional Sponges
While I’m not suggesting to stop cleaning your dishes altogether, a traditional sponge isn’t the most effective tool for the job. It’s practically a breeding ground for bacteria growth. This soap dispensing dish brush is the perfect solution. It even has a replaceable brush head to easily swap it out for a fresh one after the recommended three months.
Glass food storage containers, like this Amazon Basics version, are a much better storage option than plastic, which are difficult to clean and can occasionally even leak harmful chemicals into your food. This leak-proof set includes multiple sizes, are oven-safe up to 450 degrees and are made from a non-porous glass base that won’t stain or retain odors.
Not only are single-use plastic bags wasteful, they cost me more money in the long run since I have to stock up every few weeks. These dishwasher-safe reusable bags are the perfect solution. They’re 100% leakproof and are made from a low-temperature resistant material that prevents freezer burn.
A big way I’m trying to avoid waste is cutting back on my paper towel consumption. Instead, I’m investing in these microfiber cleaning cloths that are designed with durability in mind. Reusable up to 50 times, the fabric soaks up to five times its weight in liquid and dries surfaces quicker, too.
This is a hard one, but I’m also on a mission to toss out my nonstick pans. The coating typically contains forever chemicals (like Teflon), which can pose long-term health risks. Even in the short term, Teflon can cause toxic fumes — which lead to Teflon flu — when overheated. An easy swap? These ceramic pans offer the same easy-to-clean-and-cook perks without any threat. Food heats evenly and slides right off.
These silicone straws are a new everyday staple in my kitchen. The $9 pack includes 12 high-quality straws, along with convenient carrying cases, which is perfect when I’m picking up my morning cold brew. Thousands of shoppers rave about the reusable straws and say these “outshine those flimsy paper straws by a mile.”
Plastic cutting boards scratch easily from constant chopping, slicing and dicing. This can cause bacteria growth, and even worse, it can lead to microplastics ending up in food. Snag my favorite bamboo cutting board set featuring three different handy sizes and built-in side handles. The wood is gentle on blades so knives stay fresh. Plus, there’s no need to worry about unnecessary scratching.
Let’s face it: Disposable coffee pods can get expensive, and they’re not the most sustainable choice. I’ve swapped my disposable pods for this reusable version made from stainless steel. They’re BPA-free and are compatible with several Keurig coffee makers.
Alexandra Kay has seen a lot in her decade-plus in the music industry, but nothing has compared to the scene backstage at a Jelly Roll concert.
“Within a matter of minutes, I was passing Morgan Wallen, Snoop Dogg, Kelsea Ballerini, Ernest — was that the night [Jon] Bon Jovi was there?” Kay, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly. “Everybody was there!”
Kay opened for Jelly Roll, 40, on his Beautifully Broken Tour last year and had a blast, but this year she’s the headliner, having kicked off her Cupid’s a Cowgirl Tour on Sunday, February 23.
“There was a part of me that had been at it for so long that I didn’t know that I’d ever get to put on a show like this,” she told Us of the new tour, which winds down in St. Louis in June. “So I am so grateful and I cannot wait for everybody to see it. We’re gonna be playing four new songs from the record.”
The tour is named after her newest single, “Cupid’s a Cowgirl,” which dropped Friday, February 21. Kay said the song came out of a writing session where she was thinking about how to make something more “fun and happy” than her last album, which was largely about her divorce. (She split from her ex-husband in 2022.)
Ford Fairchild
“I was in a really happy place and still am,” she recalled. “I think that was my first time going in and feeling confident that I wanna move forward and I wanna put All I’ve Ever Known, my divorce record, behind me. Everybody kind of comes in with the same kind of concepts for you when you release a divorce record. … And it was my first time kind of being like, ‘You know, I really wanna move away from that.’”
She succeeded, because “Cupid’s a Cowgirl” is a raucous take on the single life that begins with the lines, “She’s got a pistol in her pocket / Outlaw in her blood / Peekin’ out from that Stetson / Yeah, she’s lookin’ for a stud.”
“We were jumping on couches, screaming, having fun,” Kay told Us of writing the track. “I think we disturbed every other [session] happening in [the studio] that day, and I’m totally fine with that.”
“Cupid’s a Cowgirl” is out now. Before hitting the road on her Cupid’s a Cowgirl Tour, Kay shared more behind-the-scenes secrets of life on the road:
I have a nebulizer, so I’m always warming up my vocal cords. I drink, like, 10 bottles of water before I perform, so I have to get those in throughout the day. I just warm up. I usually go live [on social media] while I’m doing my makeup so I can talk to everybody and tell ’em about where we’re going next. And usually people in the crowd that are waiting for me to come out are like, “When are you coming out?”
Other than that I have more of a post-show ritual, I think, which is just eat. I wait till I get off stage and then I stuff my face. I would say pre-show, I’m having a protein drink. And then post-show, I’m usually eating chicken wings. I know that sounds crazy, but every time that they’re like, “What do you want for after-show food?” I’m like, “Just find a place that’s got chicken wings.” And that’s usually what I’m eating.
Ideal Afterparty
My ideal afterparty is to take a shower immediately after the show, get into my bunk, open my book on my Kindle, maybe crochet a little bit, rewatch all of my [Instagram] Stories from the show and then get some sleep. That’s my ideal night. Especially when I was on tour with Jelly Roll, I didn’t have many of those because they have real afterparties constantly — a lot, a lot of fun. But I’m like a grandma at heart.
Probably being backstage when I opened up for Jelly at Bridgestone Arena [in Nashville], because within a matter of minutes I was passing Morgan Wallen, Snoop Dogg, Kelsea Ballerini, Ernest — was that the night [Jon] Bon Jovi was there? I’m not kidding, Bert Kreischer, every comedian you could ever think of, Jeffree Star, everybody was there. And it was just like, “This is the craziest experience to have all of these people in one place.” But that’s just Jelly. Everybody loves him, you know? So you never know who you’re gonna run into.
How She Calms Her Nerves
I pray — every single time. It does not matter if it is three people or if it is an arena. I get nervous every single time, but I like that. I think that means I still care and I still love this so much and want it to be great for the fans that are out there. When you stop getting nervous, it’s a little bit of a sign that you’re kind of getting numb to it. And I’m far from that, so I’m still happy about those nerves.
Lucky Charm
I usually have a cross somewhere on me. And if not, I have one tattooed on my wrist, so God is always with me everywhere. I also play with my boyfriend [Rocko Beall]. He’s my [musical director] and my guitar player. So I guess I could say I have my lucky charm on stage with me every night.
“Everleave,” which is strange to say, because it is my most emotional song and everybody gets really emotional in the crowd. But there is just something that happens when I play that song. There’s a universal healing that happens in the room, and you can hear a pin drop every single time. It heals me a little bit more every time. I’m in a much better place than I was when I went through my divorce, but singing it, I have a different respect for it. I’m not hurting myself when I sing it anymore, but I’m tapping back into those emotions and that place in order to try to make people that are currently going through it understand that I went through it too and I made it out on the other side.
Most Embarrassing Moment
I had an embarrassing moment on [the Jelly Roll tour] in which he last-minute asked me to sing a song, and I went up there and botched it because I came in at the wrong part. Jelly’s favorite thing is to keep you on your toes. Last minute, he’ll come in and be like, “Hey, AK, we’re not gonna do ‘Friends in Low Places’ tonight. You’re gonna do this one. OK, we’ll see you in 30.” I’m like, “Yeah, OK, never sang that in my life.” So, that was a little embarrassing. That one’s on the internet somewhere if somebody wants to find it!
Most Cherished Souvenir
I always get a magnet from everywhere we go, especially when we were on our European tour last year. And now, Rocko and I … we’ll sneak away and do something, just the two of us, and our newest thing is seeing Broadway shows or Off-Broadway shows ’cause we’re both theater nerds. We love it, so we try to see a show everywhere we go. And so not only now do I have my collection of magnets from Germany and Holland and everywhere we played, I also have a collection of magnets from all the shows we’ve seen when we’re on tour. So I’m gonna need to get a bigger fridge!
One thing about Beyoncé Knowles-Carter? She’s always on time with inspiration, whether it’s music that lifts my spirits (hi, Renaissance) or an outfit that pulls me out of a wardrobe rut. On Monday, the megastar did it again, stepping out in a denim-on-denim look so good it made me rethink the Levi’s jeans I throw on when I just can’t with sweatpants for the hundredth time.
Right on cue for rodeo season, and just weeks before her Cowboy Carter tour kicks off on April 28, Queen Bey dropped a new ad for the second chapter of her Levi’s collaboration, rocking the brand’s Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans, styled with custom embellishments and a trucker jacket to match.
Get the Levi’s Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans for just $98 at Levi’s. Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, February 24, 2025, but are subject to change.
Being the devoted BeyHive member and shopping enthusiast I am, I immediately added the trousers to my cart. I also let out a sigh of relief because the jeans — which boast nearly 500 glowing five-star reviews — are under $100. A Beyoncé-approved wardrobe staple at an affordable price? This is rarer than scoring concert tickets, but I digress.
According to shoppers who’ve already snagged a pair, they live up to the hype. One reviewer called them the ultimate “butt” jeans, saying, “They fit so comfortably and are so flattering. I just ordered another pair because they’re that good.” Another noted that while the jeans are structured and non-stretch, the fit is perfection — but if you prefer a little extra wiggle room, sizing up isn’t a bad idea.
And when it comes to options, Levi’s did not hold back. These ultra-flattering jeans come in 11 washes and three different lengths, so whether you’re going for Beyoncé’s dark-wash moment or a classic blue-jean vibe, everyone goes home a winner.
If you’re inspired by Bey’s effortless denim-on-denim slay, now’s the time to twin with the queen. Shop the look below before it sells out (because you know it will).

Jane Fonda comes from a family of Hollywood stars.
Socialite Frances Ford Seymour and the famous American actor Henry Fonda, who were married from 1936 until her death in 1950, welcomed Jane in 1937, followed by son Peter Fonda in 1940. Seymour had previously welcomed daughter Frances de Villers Brokaw from her first marriage, while Henry went on to adopt daughter Amy Fishman in 1953 with his third wife, Susan Blanchard.
Jane has opened up about feeling alone most of her childhood after her mother died by suicide when she was only 12 years old and her father was often away working.
“My mother died and I didn’t know where to get answers. … I spent a lot of my adolescence really, really scared,” she shared with People in March 2014.

Before her marriage to Henry, Jane’s mother was married to George Tuttle Brokaw from 1931 until his death in 1935. The pair had one daughter, Frances de Villers Brokaw. Nearly one year after George’s death, Frances married Henry in 1936 and went on to welcome Jane in 1937 and Peter in 1940. In 1950, while a patient at the Craig House Sanitarium, Frances died by suicide months after Henry asked for a divorce.
Jane has previously opened up about the tragedy of her mother’s suicide and later discovering she was bipolar.
“If you have a parent who is not capable of showing up, not capable of reflecting you back through eyes of love, it has a big impact on your sense of self,” she told People in September 2018. “As a child, you always think it was your fault … because the child can’t blame the adult, because they depend on the adult for survival. It takes a long time to get over the guilt.”

Jane’s father was a popular Hollywood star, appearing in famous films such as Young Mr. Lincoln, The Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men. Prior to his marriage with Frances, Henry was married to Margaret Sullavan from 1931 to 1933. Following Frances’ death by suicide in 1950, Henry wed his mistress Susan Blanchard later that year. They adopted daughter Amy in 1953 before divorcing in 1956. Henry then married Adfera Franchetti from 1957 to 1961 before moving on with Shirlee Mae Adams in 1965. Henry stayed with Adams until his death in 1982.
Although Jane and Henry had a strained relationship for most of her life, before he died Jane was able to tell him that she “loved him” and “forgave him” for “whatever didn’t happen.”
“And I hope that he would forgive me for not being a better daughter. I got to say that to him,” Jane explained in an appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace in February 2023. “He didn’t say anything. But he wept. I had never seen that before. I’d never seen my father break down and weep. And I — it was, it was powerful.”

Later that year, Peter wed Margaret DeVogelaere and the couple stayed together until his death from lung cancer in 2019.
Peter and Jane were very close throughout his life — and Jane had a difficult time dealing with his passing.
“I’m very sad,” she said in a statement to People in August 2019. “He was my sweet-hearted baby brother, the talker of the family. I have had beautiful alone time with him these last days. He went out laughing.”
Henry and Blanchard adopted Jane’s sister, Amy, in 1953. While she has chosen to keep her life out of the spotlight, it was revealed that Henry left his estate to Amy and wife Shirlee.

You will not really be authentic.”
