The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers had lots of thoughts about that dinner where Taylor Frankie Paul‘s family pushed her to get back together with Dakota Mortensen — but how does the reality star feel about that moment?

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly before season 2 premiered on Thursday, May 15, Taylor, 30, called that conversation the “most difficult” scene she had to watch back.

“One of the heavy scenes is the barbecue scene with my family. I, of course, haven’t seen it yet but I remember it and I do remember it being emotional. For me, obviously I’ve worked through that a bit and prepared to see it,” Taylor explained. “I continued therapy during that and then after I did a lot of therapy. I went to a retreat right before this so I was kind of mentally preparing for that because I knew that this was all coming.”

Taylor knew that reliving the experience “could be triggering” for her, adding, “It’s just kind of like a repeat of what’s already been happening. I prepared in the sense of knowing all these things are going to be triggering and it’s like reliving the trauma.”

While recalling the ups and downs she faced on screen, Taylor acknowledged that you “can only prepare so much.”

“Therapy and using the tools for when these hard situations come up [is important]. I’ve had enough at this point that I can kind of work through [anything]. It’s been a learning experience, for sure,” she added. “The last three years of my life was very traumatic. Even prior to the show, during the show and after the show, there’s been all these experiences back to back to back that I feel like were very hard to navigate during those times because I didn’t have all the tools that I have now.”

She continued: “So of course in the very beginning I was not handling it well because I had nothing to go off of and no tools that I knew how to handle that trauma. I’ve obviously learned from certain mistakes. But also with therapy, you learn all these tools and how to navigate certain situations.”

For those who haven’t finished watching the new season — or need a refresher — Taylor’s sit-down with her family and Dakota concerned some viewers because of how her loved ones seemed to side with her ex. Taylor and Dakota, who share 13-month old son Ever, were no longer together when filming for season 2 started, which her family questioned on screen.

In the shockingly awkward scene, Taylor was asked by her stepfather whether she contributed to the issues in her personal life by sleeping with Dakota too soon. Her brother and mother also attempted to convince her to give Dakota another chance. Taylor’s family then engaged in a prayer while she cried at the dinner table and Justin Timberlake‘s “Cry Me a River’ played in the background.

Taylor confirmed to Us that she’s no longer in a romantic relationship with Dakota.

“Of course when things are heightened, you’re breaking up and it’s not something you wanted and you just had a baby,” she shared. “It was not the prettiest experience, but currently we’ve come a long way.”

Taylor was proud of how far her and Dakota have come when coparenting. (The reality star also shares daughter Indy, 7, and son Ocean, 4, with ex-husband Tate Paul.)

“We’ve obviously come a long way to navigate it. It’s different from my first husband [Tate Paul] because there’s obviously a friendship there. We adjusted,” she continued. “Whereas [with] Dakota, everything’s fresh. It’s something that we necessarily didn’t want to do but needed to separate. So it’s an adjustment and we’ve had to learn through the obstacles of this experience to do what’s best for our son.”

Mariska Hargitay revisited the life and legacy of her mom Jayne Mansfield with her directorial debut, My Mom Jayne, which premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

“The fact that I get to take her back and to tell her story there, I just don’t have the words,” Hargitay told Vanity Fair in a May 2025 interview.

Hargitay revealed during the same interview that her biological father is Italian singer and comedian Nelson Sardelli and not bodybuilder and actor, Mickey Hargitay, which she originally thought. This topic is also explored in the documentary.

The Law and Order: SVU actress admitted to being “embarrassed” by some of the choices her mother had made.

“I just wanted my mom to be like the other moms!” Hargitay recalled. “Like, ‘Why are you always in a bathing suit? Why so much breast?’ I just wanted a maternal mother image.”

She added, “I didn’t want to be that girl, and I was judgmental about it. That’s the honest answer. I definitely think that it informed some of my choices. What kind of actor am I going to be? I am going to be a different kind.”

Which, of course, led to Olivia Benson — the iconic role Hargitay has played since 1999.

“I’ve had so much strife and turmoil with this word mother — and here I was, this iconic mother figure in the culture,” she said. “Isn’t that ironic?”

Who Was Jayne Mansfield?

Mansfield was an actress and all-around sex symbol throughout her career. Her Broadway debut came in 1955 as Rita Marlowe in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, and Mansfield reprised the role for the 1957 film adaptation. She became one of the first American actresses to appear in a nude scene in the 1963 movie Promises! Promises!

When Did Jayne Mansfield Die?

She died on June 29, 1967. She was 34.

How Did Jayne Mansfield Die?

Mansfield was traveling from Biloxi, Mississippi, to New Orleans with her attorney and partner Sam Brody and their 19-year-old driver. In the early hours of the morning, the car rear-ended a tractor trailer, killing the three adults in the car.

Was Mariska Hargitay in the Car When Jayne Mansfield Died?

Three of Mansfield’s five kids — Hargitay, along with Zoltan Hargitay and Mickey Hargitay Jr. — were in the car and survived the accident. The NBC star was 3 years old at the time.

“I don’t remember the accident,” the actress told Vanity Fair in May 2025. “I don’t even remember being told that my mother had died.”

She added: “I look at photos, and I don’t really remember anything until I was 5.”

Kylie Jenner’s bikini style is seriously luxurious.

Jenner, 27, took to Instagram on Sunday, May 18, to show off her figure in a vintage 1995 Chanel bikini. The red swimsuit, which, according to Page Six, once retailed for $10,000, featured a triangle halter top adorned with silver crystals. Her itty-bitty bottoms were finished with the same studs and barely-there straps. When Jenner turned around, she gave her fans a glimpse of her bum with the thong back.

At the top of the bottoms was Chanel’s iconic double-C logo.

Jenner teamed her sexy look with bombshell makeup, including long lashes, blushed cheeks and pink lips. She styled her brunette hair in mermaid waves and flipped her tresses over her head.

Claudia Schiffer Modeled the Same Bikini as Kylie Jenner in 1994

“No place I’d rather beeee <3,” Jenner captioned the post.

Jenner is a huge fan of the bikini and previously wore a black version while vacationing in April 2024.

She posed on the beach and showed off the design, which she elevated with chunky silver hoop earrings.

Jenner isn’t the only celeb who has rocked the set. In 1994, Claudia Schiffer wowed in the swimwear while walking in the Chanel Spring 1995 show in Paris.

Schiffer, now 54, styled the suit with a bedazzled silver body chain and a black robe decorated with pastel pink, blue, red and purple Chanel logos. She further glammed up the look with florals in her hair.

Naomi Campbell also wore a pink version of the bikini on the runway during the same show. The look was complete with a bejeweled floral in the center of her chest.

Jenner has been a longtime fan of the French fashion house. In January, she told Vogue, “Chanel has an incredible ability to make you feel timeless yet modern at the same time.”

“Every piece tells a story, and there’s always a balance between elegance and edge that resonates with me. It’s not just about the clothes — it’s the craftsmanship, the legacy, and how they make you feel when you wear them. That’s what keeps me coming back.”

Scheana Shay surprised Bravo fans when she revealed she hasn’t just had a falling out with Lisa Vanderpump — she developed a “trauma response” since Vanderpump Rules came to an end.

“I literally have a trauma response when she calls me,” Scheana, 40, said on the Friday, May 16, episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast. “It’s always something. It was [always,] like, what I did wrong or what could I do for her? The last time she called me, it was a question about Marciano [Brunette] and Demi [Engemann]. Nothing about me or anything like that.”

Scheana wasn’t surprised to get a call about Vanderpump Villa and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives drama, but she was disappointed.

“She was just like, ‘I need you to tell me exactly what happened.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t owe you anything,'” she noted. “But also, ‘If you’re thinking this about my friends, I’m going to tell you the truth because I don’t want my friends getting in trouble for something that’s not true.'”

Scheana Shay and Lisa Vanderpump's Tension After 'VPR' Overhaul Explained

Scheana’s guest, podcast host Gibson Johns, subsequently brought up comments Lisa, 64, made about how Vanderpump Rules, which is often billed as Lisa’s show, provided the cast with career success. Scheana said she doesn’t exactly see it that way.

“First of all, Bravo gave me this opportunity. The success of VPR is due mostly to a messy group of friends. Of course, Lisa’s name is attached to the show. I started the show with a scandal I was involved in. People were invested in watching the show for the six of us,” she continued. “No offense to Lisa, but I think very few viewers were tuning in to see Lisa’s life because she’s not sharing a bunch of her life on the show. It was about us. Because of the success, she’s been able to expand her empire.”

Scheana, who played a big part in the VPR and RHOBH crossover thanks to her past with then-Housewife Brandi Glanville’s ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, admitted she doesn’t feel she owes Lisa “anything.”

“She’s my former employer and producer. She’s not my family and she doesn’t treat me like a friend,” Scheana added. “I just feel like that’s been made pretty clear over the last few years.”

Vanderpump Rules viewers have wondered where Scheana and Lisa stand since the show was overhauled ahead of season 12. Scheana was asked about her current relationship with Lisa in April on the “Two T’s With a Pod” podcast, and she admitted, “I don’t talk to her too often. She usually calls when she needs something.”

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

Scheana recalled her last interaction with Lisa being business-related. “That was recent when I talked to her,” she added. “She had a question about a friend of mine on another show of hers, and that was pretty much it.”

After Kristen Doute hinted that Scheana’s upcoming memoir contributed to the rift, Lisa was asked to weigh in on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

“[She spills tea] about me? Oh, good lord,” Lisa said earlier this month. “Well, that is probably just to sell the book, because she doesn’t have anything else to say.”

Lisa continued: “I have heard she said something nasty that I only call her when I need something. True that. I have 600 people that work for me. I think the last time I needed her is when I invited her to my house for [my grandson] Teddy’s birthday. So that is the last time I called her.”

In response, Scheana confirmed that Lisa is brought up in her book.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast: Then and Now

“What I said to Kristen is there are things that I’ve never felt comfortable talking about that I open up about in the book. Because I’ve always been very loyal to Lisa — very much. I was her right hand for a long time,” she explained on Friday’s episode. “There were a lot of situations that I’ve been put in — phone calls that were made — and things that just kind of shaped a big part of my life that I do discuss in the book.”

Scheana acknowledged that Lisa might not be happy with everything written in My Good Side.

“It’s something that I never felt comfortable sharing. It’s honestly a huge reason why I wanted to wait until Vanderpump Rules was done to write a book,” she shared. “I feel that that relationship has been strained for years. A big thing was in 2020 when I suffered a miscarriage and everyone else was reaching out, I didn’t hear from her at all.”

Scheana continued: “I’m sure there’s going to be things in there she’s not too happy about. But it is my truth. It’s my story.”

Billionaire David Geffen has reportedly filed for divorce from David Armstrong — 60 years his junior — after less than two years of marriage.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Geffen, 82, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

The businessman has agreed to pay spousal support and attorney’s fees, per court documents. The listed date of separation is February 22, 2025.

While the breakup may appear to be a standard split, Geffen has a reported net worth of more than $9 billion.

TMZ also reported that Geffen didn’t sign a prenup with Armstrong, 32, before they married in March 2023. Us Weekly has reached out to Geffen’s attorney, Laura Wasser, and Armstrong for comment.

Keep reading to learn more about Geffen and Armstrong’s unlikely romance before they went their separate ways:

How Did David Geffen and David Armstrong Meet?

According to The New York Post, Armstrong once trained Geffen before sparks between the pair started to fly.

As for Geffen, he was previously linked to Cher in the ‘70s before coming out as gay in 1992.

How Did David Geffen Become a Billionaire?

Geffen co-founded Asylum Records in 1971 before creating Geffen Records in 1980 and DGC Records in 1990. The mogul also co-founded DreamWorks Records in 1996.

According to Forbes, Geffen owns one of New York City’s most expensive apartments as well as a house in the Hamptons and two estates in Beverly Hills.

Although he is retired, Geffen hasn’t stopped giving back to charitable causes near and dear to his heart. In 2016, he pledged $150 million to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

What Does David Armstrong Do for a Living?

According to Instagram, Armstrong — who also goes by Donovan Carter — is a professional model who enjoys working out in the gym in his free time.

In addition, Geffen has been retired for 15 years and has no income other than stocks and other equities. Under California law, dividends from stocks that are separate property will likely remain with Geffen.

The NFL is teaming up with Hallmark for the second straight holiday season — but instead of highlighting a Kansas City Chiefs love story, the Buffalo Bills will instead get the rom-com treatment.

Hallmark announced in March that their “Countdown to Christmas” lineup for 2025 will include another football-focused film: Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story. (Last year, fans saw Tyler Hynes and Hunter King bring the Chiefs fandom to life, kicking off the Holiday Touchdown franchise.)

A Bills Love Story comes on the heels of Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s engagement — which has drawn even more eyes to the NFL team.

When it comes to Hallmark’s newest NFL production, fans can expect love, football and a “touch of Christmas magic,” according to Hallmark Media senior vice president Samantha DiPippo.

Hallmark Teams Up With Buffalo Bills for New ‘Holiday Touchdown’ Movie

The cast is equally as thrilled to be part of the holiday franchise. “I am so excited to be a part of the starting lineup for Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story,” star Holland Roden said in a Hallmark video on Monday, May 19, confirming her casting.

The Teen Wolf alum wore a Bills shirt as she threw a football to her costar — and love interest — Matthew Daddario. “I am thrilled to introduce you to my handsome and talented teammate,” Roden said before throwing the ball to Daddario, who teased he’s “ready for kickoff.”

Scroll down for everything to know about Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story:

Who Will Star in ‘A Bills Love Story’?

Roden and Daddario will play love interests in the upcoming rom-com. They will be joined by Tony Danza, Tracy Pollan, Caroline Aaron and Steve Schirripa.

Is ‘A Bills Love Story’ Inspired by Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s Romance?

While Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story made several nods to tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance in 2024, it is unknown whether Allen and Steinfeld’s relationship will be mentioned in A Bills Love Story. The characters, however, don’t seem to mirror Allen and Steinfeld. (Last year’s NFL Hallmark movie didn’t resemble Swift and Kelce’s relationship either, but there was a cameo from Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce.)

Fans, however, have been enthralled with Steinfeld and Allen since they began dating in 2023. The Bills quarterback proposed in November 2024, and two months later, a Buffalo billboard congratulated the pair on their engagement. “The Queen City has a new queen,” the billboard read. “Congratulations, Josh and Hailee.”

What Is ‘A Bills Love Story’ About?

The movie focuses on the Quinns and DeLucas, neighbors and proud Bills Mafia members, who celebrate the last home game before Christmas side by side. “Pediatric doctor Morgan Quinn (Roden) and the Bills’ VP of Stadium Development Gabe DeLuca (Daddario) have always been close friends, but Gabe has always held a torch for her — a fact obvious to their families (Pollan, Aaron, Schirripa) and everyone else who crosses their path,” the logline reads. “When Morgan learns from her Uncle Tommy (Danza) that someone anonymously helped her family get by after he was drafted more than 60 years ago — and that he continues to receive a Christmas gift each year to this day — she decides to find his benefactor and give her uncle a Christmas he’ll always remember.”

Morgan and Gabe work together to “unwrap the gifter’s identity” and along the way develop feelings for one another. When Morgan’s “hopes of pulling off her surprise for Uncle Tommy get sacked,” Gabe “takes matters into his own hands and uses his connections with the Bills to pull off the surprise of a lifetime for Morgan and both their families that will make this a Christmas they’ll never forget,” according to Hallmark.

Which NFL Players Will Make Cameos?

Bills head coach Sean McDermott, running back Ray Davis, safety Damar Hamlin, offensive tackle Dion Dawkins, tight end Dawson Knox, long snapper Reid Ferguson, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter and wide receiver Joshua Palmer will all be part of the movie.

Former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly will make a cameo as will retired players Steve Tasker, Thurman Thomas and Scott Norwood. The network confirmed in May that Bills play-by-play announcer Chris Brown will make an appearance and Luke Russert will pay tribute to his late broadcast journalist father Tim Russert.

Has Production Begun?

Hallmark announced in May that production was underway in Buffalo, New York. The movie will film in several “iconic locations” in the region, per the network, including Highmark Stadium and Oishei Children’s Hospital.

When Will ‘A Bills Love Story’ Premiere?

Hallmark has not released an official trailer yet, but the network announced the cast with a “starting lineup” video on May 19.

Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green found happiness together following a PDA-filled Hawaiian vacation in December 2020 — but that was only the beginning of their love story.

Burgess first hinted at the romance earlier that month when she exclusively told Us Weekly that she was seeing someone new “It’s been really awesome,” the pro dancer told Us at the time. “I actually am not on the market anymore. But it’s very new and very, you know, it’s dating, essentially. No one’s calling us a relationship yet. … How funny would it be if I actually found the love of my life during a pandemic? I’m looking for that soulmate stuff.”

The couple went Instagram official in January 2021 with Burgess posting a steamy photo of them kissing on a balcony. One year later, Burgess and Green announced that they were expecting their first child together. Their son, Zane, arrived in June 2022.

“We couldn’t be happier, and everybody’s extremely healthy right now, which is a blessing,” Green exclusively told Us three months later. “I always say that the easiest part is to become a mother or a father. Almost anybody can have a baby, but to be a parent — that’s the work. Getting up in the morning, making breakfast, making lunch for school, bedtime rituals and bathtime … that’s when the real work comes in. “[Sharna’s] amazing with that. She’s been so hands-on with him. ”

Green was previously married to Megan Fox. He confirmed their split in May 2020 after nearly 10 years of marriage. They share three sons: Noah, Bodhi and Journey. He also shares eldest son Kassius with ex Vanessa Marcil.

Kylie Kelce is all smiles in a new photo with her and husband Jason Kelce’s youngest daughter, Finn.

In a photo shared via the Kelce Brothers’ official Instagram account on Sunday, May 18, Kylie, 33, was carrying Finn in a wrap around her body at the 2025 Eagles Autism Foundation event. While one hand rested on a baby stroller, the other arm was placed around a little boy who smiled for the camera. In another picture, Kylie gave a grin in a selfie. Baby Finn’s face was not visible in the images.

“The Eagles Autism Foundation set a record by raising more than $10 million this year through the Eagles Autism Challenge — $40 million since 2018,” the caption read. “A record number of people participated at 7,266!”

The couple welcomed their fourth daughter in March. “Whoop, there she is!” Kylie captioned an Instagram photo of the newborn, who was born on March 30. “Finnley ‘Finn’ Anne Kelce.”

Kylie and the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 37 — who tied the knot in 2018 — are also parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 4, and Bennett, 2. While reflecting on parenthood, Kylie shared that she thinks she knows why Jason became a girl dad.

“I think he has a very skewed idea of women, which is probably why he has four daughters,” Kylie shared in Us Weekly’s exclusive clip of an April episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, hosted by Amanda Hirsch. “It’s why he was blessed with four daughters. The universe said: ‘He doesn’t get it. We need him to get it.’”

Kylie explained that Jason grew up with brother Travis Kelce, meaning “the only females in his house” were his mom, Donna Kelce, and a dog.

“I don’t think that he understood women in a way,” she continued. “When we started dating and he introduced me to his family, his parents were like, ‘Oh, he’s dating someone.’ It was a shock.”

In Kylie’s perspective, there may be a time when Jason is not thrilled to be surrounded by women.

“Like, as soon as we’re all synced up [with our periods], I’m like, ‘You can move out, but you have to visit me,’” she quipped on the podcast, adding that she feels “bad” for what might occur in the future. “I know what our house was like when both my sister and I were, like, synced up and, like, yeah, God.”

Layla Taylor is clearing the air after receiving backlash for facilitating a “pregnancy roulette” game on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

During the second season of the hit Hulu series, which premiered on Thursday, May 15, Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Miranda McWhorter and Layla played the controversial game during a cast trip. Each person had to take a pregnancy test and the results were revealed anonymously — meaning the women didn’t know whose test they showed to the rest of the group.

Two tests came back positive — Mayci and Mikayla — but the women kept quiet because Demi broke down in tears. Earlier in the season, Demi, 30, revealed she was struggling to get pregnant with husband Bret Engemann.

Demi said on the show that she wasn’t thrilled about unveiling a positive pregnancy test that belonged to one of her costars amid her own fertility journey. The friend group apologized for having Demi play the emotional game, which Layla was asked about in the comments section of a TikTok when the season premiered.

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Then vs. Now: How Cast Looked Pre-Hulu Show

“The pregnancy test roulette tho,” read a response from a viewer. Layla replied, “Wasn’t my idea.”

Before the episodes were released, Demi spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about her fertility, saying, “Even throughout season 1, I was like, ‘Is this for me?’ Even going into filming season 1, it was a big decision. You think that if you were presented with this opportunity, it would just be an easy yes and jump all in. In my stage of life blending a family, trying for another baby and being a busy mom and wife and trying to navigate that — it’s different than being single and then being presented with this opportunity.”

Demi said the “stakes are higher” for her. “You have less time and you’re not only putting yourself out there to be judged — but you are putting your family out there as well,” she added. “It was not a decision that I took lightly or that me and my husband took lightly. So there were definitely moments throughout moments where we were just like, ‘Is this for us?'”

The second season also brought up a rumor that Demi’s husband, Bret, 46, was unfaithful after Mayci received an anonymous message on social media claiming he slept with someone when Demi was out of town.

“The truth always reveals itself. Until there is proof, I don’t give it any credit or any weight. I don’t understand why something that is not true would bother you so deeply,” Demi told Bret on camera, as he replied, “I need to worry less about optics.”

A hot-mic moment, however, teased more tension between Demi and Bret.

“Are we on the same page here? You have to know deep in your core that I would never do that to you,” Bret said after cameras stopped rolling. “It bothers me. I want to find out who it was. I want to know who said it because I want to go after them. It pisses me off. You know I didn’t do that.”

Demi questioned Bret’s “overexplaining,” saying, “I don’t know what it is with you. Why do we keep talking about it? The way you are reacting is a little bit confusing. If I am guilty, this is how I am acting.”

Ezra Miller continues to come under fire for alleged inappropriate behavior.

The actor began making headlines in 2022 for a string of arrests and criminal charges including disorderly conduct, harassment and felony burglary. The nonbinary We Need to Talk About Kevin actor has also been accused of having an abusive relationship with activist Tokata Iron Eyes that began when she was underage.

“Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokota,” paperwork filed by Iron Eyes’ parents in June 2022 read. The Standing Rock Sioux tribal court granted a temporary order of protection against Miller on behalf of the North Dakota native.

The protective order also accuses the Flash star of “physically and emotionally abusing” the “ReZpect our Water” youth leader.

Several months prior to Iron Eyes’ parents taking legal action against Miller, the New Jersey native was arrested in Hawaii in March 2022 and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. According to a police report obtained by Page Six, the Fantastic Beasts actor was at a karaoke bar when they began “yelling obscenities and became agitated when people began singing karaoke.” After pleading no contest, they were fined $500 for the incident.

Three weeks later, in April, Miller was taken into custody again after allegedly throwing a chair at a woman’s head. According to a media release from the Hawaii Police Department, the incident took place at a get-together at a private residence in Pahoa on the Big Island of Hawaii.

“During the course of their investigation, police determined that the individual, later identified as Ezra Miller, became irate after being asked to leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the forehead, resulting in an approximate half-inch cut,” the release read. Miller was released from police custody after several hours, pending further investigation.

The Hawaii arrests were not the first instances of the Trainwreck actor behaving erratically in public. According to Kevin Armstrong, an extra on the miniseries The Stand, Miller yelled, spit and interrupted the director while filming the show in late 2019.

“It was disgusting and horribly unprofessional,” Armstrong told Insider in August 2022 of the actor’s behavior, alleging that “people on set were not feeling safe.”

Most recently, the Sons of an Illustrious Father musician has been charged with felony burglary in Stamford, Vermont. According to a Vermont State Police report obtained by Variety, law enforcement officials located Miller on August 7, 2022, and issued them a citation for a May 1, 2022, incident in which several bottles of alcohol were taken from a residence when the homeowners were not present.

Miller addressed their many scandals publicly for the first time at the June 2023 premiere of their solo superhero flick, The Flash. In a video captured by Deadline from inside the premiere screening, they thanked DC Studios’ cochairs Peter Safran and James Gunn “for your grace and discernment and care in the context of my life and in bringing this moment to fruition.”

CBS reporter Amanda Balionis raised some eyebrows with a sly comment made to Bryson DeChambeau after his final round at the 2025 PGA Championship.

Balionis, 38, commended DeChambeau, 31, for agreeing to an interview with her after an underwhelming final round on Sunday, May 18 saw him fall out of contention. 

“We appreciate the time,” Balionis told him. “You don’t have to take the time to do this. So we appreciate it.”

DeChambeau ultimately finished in a tie for 2nd place with a final round 70, 5 strokes behind the winner, Scottie Scheffler. 

LPGA's Charley Hull On the Intense Interest in Rory McIlroy's Personal Life

The interview came on the heels of Rory McIlroy refusing to speak with members of the media for 4 consecutive days during his time at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club. 

The timing of Balinois’ comment was quickly acknowledged by golf fans watching at home. 

“Balionis with a not-so-subtle drive by on Rory at the end of that Bryson interview ​​,” one viewer wrote via X. 

Another wrote, “Amanda Balionis with the subtle jab at Rory McIlroy.”

Balionis and McIlroy, 36, were linked last year after rumors swirled that the pair were dating following McIlroy’s divorce filing from his wife, Erica Stoll, in May 2024. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Balionis and McIlroy were never romantically involved. 

McIlroy received overwhelming criticism for his decision to avoid the media all weekend with reporter Kyle Porter calling McIlroy’s behavior “bizarre.”

“I don’t get real wound up about players missing media for a round or honestly even several of them,” Porter wrote via X on Sunday. “He talks a ton, more than anyone, and I don’t need his quotes to write a dumb newsletter. But to not talk at all after play started on Thursday (especially given all the requests) is out of character and — whether it’s fair or not — an abdication of responsibility as one of the greats.”

McIlroy, who was coming off winning the career grand slam at the Masters Tournament in April, finished the weekend in a tie for 47th. 

Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll Finalize Plans to Move Into New U.K. Mansion

The golfer has had a fraught relationship with the media lately, which also reared its head at the Masters. 

McIlroy declined to speak to the media after his turbulent opening round at Augusta National, which saw him add two double bogeys on his final four holes. 

Before the Masters, McIlroy defended a golfer’s right to turn down their media availability. 

“Every other athlete, whether it be in the NBA, NFL, they’re obligated to speak to you guys after a game. We’re not,” McIlroy told reporters. “Whether that’s something that the PGA Tour looks to in terms of putting that into their rules and regulations, but as long as that’s not the case and we have that option to opt out whenever we want, expect guys to do that from time to time.”

Polyfamily star Tyler isn’t shy about his and girlfriend Taya’s sex life — but that doesn’t mean his wife, Alysia, wants to hear about it.

In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Tuesday, May 20, episode of the TLC series, Tyler recounts his and Taya’s intimate night away from the house to his wife and Taya’s husband, Sean, but it doesn’t go over well.

“Once we got settled in, I was having fun,” Tyler tells the group while standing beside Alysia, who was home with Sean and their combined five kids. “We also had, like, this edible body paint and stuff I licked off of her arm and painted under the stencil.”

Sean appears to be unfazed by the couple’s bedroom activities, replying, “Sexy. Hot!” Taya, meanwhile, downplays just how sexy it was saying, “It was straight-up syrup.”

While Tyler explains that it is “hard to get back to being intimate” after Taya recently gave birth, Alysia doesn’t want to hear it.

“OK, yeah, I’m out. I don’t want to talk about that,” Alysia says, making an unamused face. Sean, who was also stuck at home with the kids, claims it “doesn’t bother” him, pointing out it was an “overnight trip at the beach,” after all.

Alysia quips, “I would assume too. But I don’t want to know the details of it.” Tyler tries to backpedal, noting, “I said intimate. Not naked.” Alysia fires back, “Do you get intimate with your clothes on?”

“Can I ask why you thought it would be OK to talk about the intimate details, like, the sex part of your guys’ overnight date when I’ve made it really, really clear that that’s not something that I care to hear about?” Alysia asks Tyler during a separate interview.

Tyler insists he “wasn’t talking about the sex” and was instead discussing his and Taya’s “intimacy and what we’re doing and activities and things.”

Alysia is still visibly upset, saying that him talking about their fun with edible body paint was too much for her to stomach.

“I’m used to talking pretty openly with Sean and Taya and about whatever,” Tyler admits. “And sometimes it’s hard to remember to censor myself in those situations with you.”

‘Polyfamily’ Sneak Peek: 2 Women in Quad Have a ‘Complicated’ Relationship

When Polyfamily premiered last month, fans were introduced to the closed polyamorous quad made up of married couples Tyler and Alysia and Sean and Taya. In their unit, Tyler is also dating Taya, while Sean is dating Alysia.

Tyler and Alysia were married 11 years and welcomed a son and daughter before joining the closed quad. Sean and Taya, meanwhile, were married six years before entering their current arrangement.

Since creating a new family, the four adults have welcomed three more kids, the youngest of which’s birth has been a big story line this season.

Polyfamily airs on TLC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.

Colombian influencer María José Estupiñán has reportedly died after being shot. She was 22.

President of the National Gender Commission of the Colombian Judiciary, Magda Victoria Acosta, claimed Estupiñán was killed on Thursday, May 15, per CNN. The outlet reported that Acosta claimed the suspect who appeared at Estupiñán’s residence was dressed as a delivery man. He allegedly shot her in her home when she opened the door.

“She was a young, enterprising woman with a whole life ahead of her, but those dreams are cut short like the dreams of many women in this country,” Acosta said, per the outlet.

Acosta claimed that Estupiñán was the victim of a domestic violence case and was about to receive financial compensation as a result, CNN reported. She reportedly attended university in Cúcuta near the Venezuela border.

Influencer Shot During TikTok Livestream Was Killed By Hitman: Report

Acosta noted that the commission “very strongly” condemned crime. The incident is being investigated by authorities. Acosta did not indicate whether Estupiñán’s death was a suspected femicide, meaning when a woman is presumed to be killed due to her gender.

Days earlier, news broke that 23-year-old influencer Valeria Márquez was shot dead during a livestream. Denis Rodríguez, a spokesperson for the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office, told AP News that Márquez’s death was still under investigation.

Rodríguez claimed that a man posing as a delivery driver and another man on a motorcycle arrived at a Mexico salon and were hoping to deliver a gift to Márquez in person. Márquez began worrying about the incident on the livestream.

“Maybe they were going to kill me,” Márquez said in the video, per the outlet. “Were they going to come and take me away, or what? I’m worried.”

Influencer ‘Didn’t Have’ a ‘Relationship’ With Murderer: Authorities

The men returned and asked for Márquez again — which led prosecutors to believe that they were hired assassins, per Rodríguez.

“The aggressor arrived asking if the victim was there. So it appears he didn’t know her,” Rodríguez said. “With that, you can deduce — without jumping to conclusions — that this was a person who was paid. It was obviously someone who came with a purpose.”

AP reported that Márquez was handed a stuffed animal and a bag of Starbucks coffee during the livestream, where she was shot and collapsed. Following her death, her TikTok appeared to be taken down, but a video of the incident circulated online and was confirmed by the prosecutor’s office.

Per the outlet, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration is working with local investigators to locate the assassin and extended her condolences to Márquez’s family. The prosecutor’s office previously told The New York Times that the incident was being investigated as a potential femicide.

Sean “Diddy” Combs and Misa Hylton welcomed one child before calling it quits decades ago.

Diddy connected with Hylton in the early 1990s as they were at the start of their respective careers. Diddy started off as an intern at Uptown Records while Hylton was a budding stylist.

As the pair began to make a name for themselves in the industry, Hylton became pregnant with her and Diddy’s first child. In 1993, they welcomed son Justin Combs. Shortly after Justin’s arrival, Diddy and Hylton split.

After their breakup, Diddy moved on with Kim Porter, with whom he shared son Christian Combs and twins D’Lila and Jessie. (Diddy also adopted Porter’s son Quincy Taylor Brown. Porter died in 2018.) Diddy also shares daughter Chance Combs with ex Sarah Chapman and daughter Love Combs with ex Dana Tran.

Diddy’s Family Guide: Meet His 7 Children, Their Mothers and More

Hylton, for her part, was married to JoJo Brim from 1995 to 1999. They share son Niko and daughter Madison.

While Hylton and Diddy began their families with other partners, the exes remained coparented Justin for years.

Keep scrolling to relive their relationship timeline:

1990s

“We were dating at the time and he had just went from intern to A&R,” Hylton told BET in March 2023. “He had a new position at Uptown Records and he was in charge of putting together the album musically but also for their look.”

Hylton shared that she worked with Diddy as his assistant after she finished her school day. Diddy returned the favor by giving Hylton her first solo project: styling Jodeci for his “Gotta Love” music video. She opted to put the musician in streetwear and changed how R&B musicians would style their looks in the future.

1993

The twosome welcomed Justin in December 1993. During a 2017 appearance on “The Premium Pete Show” podcast, Hylton shared that she and Diddy broke up shortly after Justin’s arrival because the music mogul wasn’t ready to settle down as his career was starting to take off.

2010

The exes reunited to celebrate Justin’s 16th birthday. Diddy organized a star-studded bash in New York City for the occasion. The trio posed for a family picture on the red carpet.

2019

Hylton attended Diddy’s 50th birthday celebration in Los Angeles.

June 2023

The fashion designer raised eyebrows after she posted a series of cryptic posts after Justin was arrested for a DUI. (Justin was booked with a misdemeanor and released on a $5,000 bond.)

“I’m not protecting no one anymore, just my son ,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “The statement ‘a fish rots from the head down’ means that, in addition to being a major contributing factor in a family or organization’s success, leadership is also the root cause of its failure and demise. The Truth shall set you free.”

March 2024

When Diddy’s homes were raided by homeland security, Justin and brother Christian were present for the investigation at their family’s Los Angeles home. Hylton spoke out against law enforcement and claimed they executed “overzealous and overtly militarized force.”

“[The force] used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable. If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression,” she wrote via Instagram alongside footage from the incident. “The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!”

May 2024

As Diddy’s legal troubles continued, a video of Diddy assaulting then-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in 2016 surfaced. Hylton voiced her support for Cassie at the time.

“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” Hylton wrote via Instagram. “These young people were raised by women that want the best for them — we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams. Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them. Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it.”

May 2025

On May 12, Hylton stepped out in New York City to attend the opening day of Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

The rap mogul faced charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied the allegations against him.

Hylton — who was using a walker during her public outing — was joined by her and Diddy’s son, Justin Combs, at the hearing. After appearing publicly in court, Hylton took to social media to explain and defend her appearance.

“When I suffered my injury, I had chosen to heal privately but when my son said ‘Mommy I need you’ I was right there for him walker and all,” Hylton wrote via Instagram on May 17. “I’m a MOTHER FIRST, FOR REAL and I am my son’s strength and thats just what it is. Plain and Simple. Whoever doesn’t understand that just simply isn’t in alignment with me or anything that I’m about in life.”

As a beauty writer with nearly a decade of experience, I’ve come to the realization that while the U.S. has put skincare on a pedestal, body care has long been overlooked. Surprisingly, that’s not the case with many other countries. Take Brazil, for example: The latin country puts a major emphasis on body care, and along with slathering on rich lotions, it’s not uncommon for people to go the extra mile and perform daily, lymphatic drainage massages. The tides are finally shifting, though, and some of these body care practices are finally coming stateside with the help of products like the Voesh Tone’d Body Firming Roller Creme.

This nourishing cream not only smoothes and softens skin — its unique applicator boosts circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage, making it easier than ever to treat yourself and achieve body sculpting benefits from home. Rather than smoothing a dollop onto your skin with your hands, this dispenses the perfect amount of lotion which you then work in with the attached massagers.

The little massagers on the cream act like foam rollers, gently adding pressure to your skin to release tension and move toxins out of your body. This application turns the mundane act of applying lotion into a zen moment. Plus, regular usage can lead to more toned arms and legs. It also helps that the lotion is infused with caffeine and peptides — two ingredients known for their firming abilities — as well as pumpkin and hibiscus to detox your lymphatic system.

If you’re more concerned about skin texture than firmness, Voesh also makes the Smooth’d Body Refining Roller Creme which features the same lymphatic drainage massage applicator. This formula, however, blends hyaluronic acid with rosemary oil and tea tree oil to deeply moisturize, calm skin and reduce redness.

My recommendation? Nab both roller creams to level up your summer body goals. I like to apply the Body Refining Creme along my chest and armpits to give those forgotten areas more love. I reserve the Tone’d Firming Creme for my arms and legs to minimize cellulite and increase circulation after heavy duty workouts. This takes the place of my foam roller, too, saving me extra time in the long run.

These creams won’t necessarily replace a good workout routine, but they can certainly enhance your results and help you feel less puffy and more toned. As we head into the summer months who doesn’t want that?

Incredible as it may seem, Elizabeth Hurley is turning 60 in just a few weeks — and the actress is excited to spend her big day on June 10 with her new love, Billy Ray Cyrus.

The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer, 63, and Hurley confirmed on Easter Sunday that they were an item, jointly uploading a PDA-filled photo to Instagram. The world was shocked — but now we’re coming to terms with the fact that this is no spring fling: these two are serious.

“I am looking forward to celebrating with Billy Ray,” Hurley, 59 (for now!), told Hello at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation Hot Pink Party in New York City on Tuesday, May 13. “He should be in England for my birthday. He’ll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it’ll be lovely.”

Wearing a plunging fuchsia Nedo by Nedret Taciroglu dress, in keeping with the event’s hot pink theme, Hurley also said that she’s feeling positive about turning 60. “I love every birthday,” she said. “I always get overexcited if it’s a big birthday — I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it.”

How Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley Connected on an Emotional Level

During Cyrus’ visit to England, he should be guaranteed a warm welcome from Hurley’s son Damian. The 23-year-old model has publicly shown his support for his mom’s new relationship, by liking the social media posts the surprising new couple have been sharing since their eyebrow-raising hard launch on April 20.

Damian was also his mom’s date for the Hot Pink Party, and spoke about how proud he is of the woman who raised him (Damian did not have a relationship with his father, the producer and businessman Stephen Bing, who died in 2020.) “Honoured and insanely proud to support my mama in her 30th year as the Global Ambassador,” he shared on Instagram the day after the event. “Last night’s annual Hot Pink Party in NYC, hosted by my mother, raised over a record breaking $11million for lifesaving breast cancer research. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing this campaign’s vital work firsthand since the day I was born. What a deeply moving and inspiring night.”

As Us previously reported, Hurley was openly gushing about her new love to multiple news outlets at the party. “I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,” she told Page Six. “It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. There has been quite a reaction.”

Hurley went on to explain that the pair actually have more in common than it first appears. “We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country,” she said. “And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

Elizabeth Hurley's Son Damian Reacts to Billy Ray PDA Pics

And in a brief interview with the Daily Mail, she said, “Billy’s a lovely man and we make each other very happy.”

The couple went public with their relationship over Easter weekend when they, seemingly from nowhere, shared a romantic photo on Instagram, with Cyrus wearing bunny ears. A week later, on April 27, Hurley shared another shot of the couple embracing by a tree in Tennessee.

The loved-up duo first met while shooting Father Christmas Is Back in 2021, with Cyrus admitting on The Ty Bentli Show on April 24 that “there was a chemistry there.” He added: “We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn’t laughing a lot.”

The singer went on to explain that the pair didn’t keep in touch — until Hurley reached out to him in 2024 with a kind text referring to his messy split with ex-wife Firerose, saying “Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I’m in your corner; you’ve got a friend in your corner.” At the time, Cyrus didn’t even know who the message was from but, once the mystery was solved, the pair reconnected, and began dating early in 2025.

5 Unanswered Questions About Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus

A source close to Cyrus exclusively told Us Weekly, “Billy Ray and Liz have both been through a lot in life and have bonded over life experiences. Liz is a very compassionate person, which Billy Ray adores.”

Cyrus seemed to approve of the Us exclusive, released earlier this month — on Sunday, May 18, he took to his Instagram to share an image of the magazine in his local Target store, and tagged Hurley.

The Duggar family just welcomed another member to their large brood.

Jeremiah Duggar and his wife, Hannah Duggar, announced via Instagram on Sunday, May 18, that they recently welcomed their third baby, a daughter, together. “There’s absolutely nothing like meeting and falling in love with a new baby!! ,” the couple captioned pics of their adorable newborn. “We are overjoyed to welcome to our family Emery “Emy” Jane Duggar. 5.13.25.”

Several of Jeremiah’s relatives shared their congratulations in the post’s comments. “She’s such a doll! so excited for you all!” his big sister Jinger Duggar wrote underneath the photos, while Jill Duggar commented, “Congratulations guys! She’s a doll!”

In the snaps, baby Emy laid on a blanket while wearing a little white onesie and a velvet hair bow. Her eyes were wide open as the camera captured some of her first photos.

Duggar Family: Meet the Next Generation

Jeremiah and Hannah announced they were expecting their third daughter in December 2024. “Life with our little girls has been wonderful and we are so excited about adding a third little girl to this group late next spring!! ,” they wrote alongside a sweet Instagram snap of them and their daughters holding a pair of knitted pink baby boots.

Three months after announcing their courtship, Jeremiah popped the question to Hannah in January 2022. Two months later, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed the two tied the knot in Nebraska.

“Today was a perfect day, as we stood before our family and friends and committed our lives to each other,” they told Us of their big day. “It was such a beautiful culmination of so many prayers, dreams & desires! As we’ve seen God’s gracious hand in bringing our lives together, we are excited to see how He will continue to direct our paths. We are looking forward to sharing our married journey with you.

That August, Jeremiah and Hannah revealed they were expecting their first child, and their eldest daughter, Brynley, was born in December 2022. “After an incredible year, God gave us a precious Christmas gift to top it all off!!” they announced in a New Year’s Day Instagram post in January 2023. “Baby girl decided to arrive early and we are totally and completely in love with our little Brynley Noelle. 12.25.22 • 6lbs 15oz • 19.5 in.”

Less than a year after becoming parents, the duo shared that their family would be expanding. “Life just keeps getting sweeter!” Jeremiah and Hannah captioned a November 2023 Instagram snap of themselves and Brynley holding ultrasound photos.

Their second daughter, Brielle, was born in February 2024. “You have already brought so much joy into our lives!” Jeremiah and Hannah captioned Instagram pics of their little one at the time. “We love you beyond what words can say and are SO very thankful for our two little girls.”

Fans were first introduced to Jeremiah as one of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children on the TLC reality series 19 Kids and Counting. He went on to appear on the spinoff series Counting On from 2015 to 2020 before taking a step back from the small screen.

Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard took the witness stand for the second time on Monday, May 19, to testify in the trial of her ex-boss Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Richard, 41, answered questions about Diddy’s relationship with ex-girlfriend Cassie, who testified last week for four days. On Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mitzi Steiner asked Richard about what she observed between Diddy, 55, and Cassie, 38, between 2009 and 2011 when she was part of the trio Dirty Money (with Diddy and Kalenna Harper).

The former Danity Kane member claimed that she “frequently” saw Diddy be violent with Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura), alleging he would “punch her, choke her, drag her, slap her in the mouth.” She went on to claim that she “saw him kick her” and “punch her in the stomach.”

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.

Danity Kane's Dawn Richard Testifies in Diddy Trial After Lawsuit

Speaking on Monday, Richard detailed multiple separate instances of alleged violence perpetrated by Diddy. She claimed one occurred at a Central Park concert where she saw Diddy punch Cassie in the face using his closed fist. “Her eye was swelling,” Richard claimed, adding that she and other members of Diddy’s entourage wore sunglasses to the festival in solidarity with Cassie.

On another occasion in 2010, he allegedly punched Cassie in the stomach at a West Hollywood restaurant where other celebrities and employees from Diddy’s record label, Bad Boy, were present.

Later, Richard further claimed, she saw Diddy grab Cassie around the neck, slap her on the mouth and tell her to “shut the f*** up.”

Richard went on to claim that multiple Diddy employees witnessed the alleged abuse, including former Bad Boy executive Harve Pierre, security guards D-Roc and Roger Bonds and assistants Capricorn Clark and “Mia,” the latter of whom is another alleged victim of Diddy’s who is expected to testify.

The singer explained that she encouraged Cassie to leave Diddy, but Cassie said she was “torn” about it. When Diddy found out that Richard and Cassie were having these conversations, Richard claimed he told her to stay out of his relationship “or else y’all are gonna pay for it.”

Cassie Hid in Hotel Room for 1 Week to Protect Mom From Truth About Diddy

Eventually, Richard said, she stopped trying to intervene in the relationship because she didn’t feel Cassie was ready to move on. According to Richard, the reasons for Diddy’s alleged abuse of Cassie “varied.” She claimed it “could be Cass speaking up for herself,” “it could be random” or it could be “her having an opinion.”

When cross-examination began, defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland asked Richard about the testimony she gave on Friday, May 16, when she claimed she once saw Diddy try to hit Cassie with a hot skillet. Westmoreland asked the singer whether “it’s been hard to keep your story the same” regarding the alleged incident because she gave slightly different accounts about it in different conversations with lawyers, but Richard replied, “No, I wouldn’t agree with that.”

Westmoreland concluded her cross-examination by asking Richard about her attempts to continue working with Diddy even after she left Bad Boy. When the attorney said, ​​“You were trying to succeed for a long time,” Richard responded, “I have succeeded.”

During redirect questioning, Richard fielded questions about why her stories have sometimes changed. “Every day it gets easier to remember certain things,” she told the court. “I try my best to do it to the best of my ability.” She added that she had “no doubt” she saw Diddy drag Cassie up the stairs on the day of the egg incident.

As for why Richard once asked Diddy about the possibility of reuniting Dirty Money, she claimed it was a favor for her bandmate Harper, whom she believed to be having a difficult time. “I didn’t want to go back,” she said. “It wasn’t good. I didn’t want it.”

Danity Kane’s Dawn Accuses Diddy of Brutality and Sexual Abuse in Lawsuit

Richard began her testimony late on Friday and claimed she once saw Diddy try to hit Cassie with a hot frying pan that had just been used to cook eggs. “He came downstairs angry and was saying, ‘Where the f*** was his eggs’ and he was telling Cassie she never gets anything right and where the f*** was his food,” she alleged. “And he came over to the skillet with the eggs in it and tried to hit her over the head, and she fell to the ground.”

Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo subsequently asked Judge Arun Subramanian to strike that part of Richard’s testimony from the record, arguing that it did not support the charge of sex trafficking and noting Cassie did not mention that alleged incident herself.

On Monday, however, Subramanian issued a tentative ruling that Richard’s Friday testimony is permissible. He will hear additional arguments from both sides before issuing a final ruling.

Richard starred on Diddy’s MTV reality show Making the Band 3 from 2005 to 2006 and was a member of the girl group Danity Kane alongside Aubrey O’Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex and Aundrea Fimbres. Days before Diddy’s arrest last year, Richard filed a lawsuit accusing him of manipulating, terrorizing and sexually abusing her. She also claimed that she witnessed him physically abusing Cassie.

Danity Kane's Dawn Richard Reacts to Diddy’s Arrest and Indictment

In her suit, Richard alleged, among other things, that Diddy abused her by forcing her to rehearse 48 hours at a time without sleep, which led to dehydration and fatigue that caused her to develop rashes. She also claimed that he promised to advance her singing career if she complied with his demands.

Diddy denied Richard’s allegations in a September 2024 statement shared via his attorney Erica Wolff. “Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a payday — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour,” Wolff told Us. “If Ms. Richard had such a negative experience with Making the Band and Danity Kane, she would not have chosen to continue working directly with Mr. Combs for Dirty Money, nor would she have returned for the Making the Band reboot in 2020 or agreed to be featured on The Love Album last year. It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.”

Cheryl Burke called out the “cruel” body-shamers who have been speculating about her appearance.

“Let’s address the elephant in the comments section. I am not on Ozempic. I am not sick. I didn’t get a face transplant and I didn’t get a brow lift,” Burke, 41, said in a video shared via TikTok on Sunday, May 18. “The level of projection that is happening and that I am witnessing is wild.”

Burke expressed her disappointment with those discussing her looks as if she’s “not a person,” adding, “But here is the most disappointing part that really gets me. [Some of you are writing], ‘We miss the ‘old Cheryl’ from Suite Life of Zack and Cody back in 2006 or Dancing With the Stars season 2 when I was 21 or the three years ago Cheryl where I was going through a divorce.'”

While calling out the online commentary, Burke reminded people “that Cheryl doesn’t exist” anymore.

Celebrities Who've Spoken About the Ozempic Weight Loss Trend

“The assumptions are exhausting as hell,” she noted. “The accusations are completely cruel and the fact that so many of them are actually coming from women is what is so shocking and hurtful.”

Burke admitted to struggling with the conversations happening about her on social media, saying, “I have been in the public eye since I was 20 years old. My body has changed over the past 20 years. My face has changed because I have changed.”

She continued: “I have experienced so much trauma, divorce, sobriety, burn out and reinvention. This is by no means a pity party. I have healed, I have lost and I have grieved like anybody else. Maybe it shows but I am not sorry for it. Not one bit.”

Burke specifically called out women who were “tearing down other women” and “pretending it is out of concern” for her well-being.

Stars Who've Hit Back Against Body-Shamers

“What has been so challenging is this pressure to prove that I haven’t done something and to convince other people that my healing is valid,” she added. “I am quieter, I have boundaries and more discernment. Frankly, I don’t feel safe the way I used to on social media.”

Burke made it clear she didn’t care what others thought about her appearance. “I am still healing, still growing and still choosing to show up,” she concluded. “If you are here to speculate, compare to demand answers that you are not entitled to, then you are not welcome in this space that I have created.”

In the caption of her TikTok, Burke issued a strongly worded statement to those expressing concern about her appearance.

“I’m not on Ozempic. I’m not sick. I didn’t get ‘a new face,'” she wrote. “Stop dissecting women’s bodies like they belong to you. This is YOUR reminder: I don’t owe you an explanation for my healing or for anything quite frankly. Let this be the last time I have to say it.”

Mariska Hargitay should thank Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for more than just decades of work. The hit NBC drama also introduced her to husband Peter Hermann.

The couple, who tied the knot in August 2004, began their lasting relationship after his 2002 guest appearance. Hermann has continued his role as Trevor Langan to Hargitay’s Olivia Benson throughout the series’ run, popping in from time-to-time as their offscreen romance thrived. Two years after their wedding, the pair welcomed son August in June 2006 and later adopted daughter Amaya and son Andrew in 2011.

Not only do fans admire Hargitay’s marriage to Hermann, but they also ship her SVU character with Christopher Meloni’s alter ego Elliot Stabler, who is Benson’s former partner.

After the trio were jokingly referred to as one of the most “progressive marriages in Hollywood,” the Blue Bloods star noted on E! News’ Daily Pop in May 2021, “We make it work.”

In fact, the actors are all friends off screen. “Sometimes Chris and I have some things to negotiate, but we’ve gotten really good at communicating with each other,” Hermann said. “There’s a lot of give and take. In the end, all three of us are really happy.”
