Celebrity BFFs Who Ended Their Friendships: Lauren Conrad and Heidi, More

Best friends aren’t always forever — just ask the celebrities who have said goodbye to their famous BFFs for one reason or another.

From Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato growing apart to Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag’s explosive feud on The Hills, not even the biggest stars can make their friendships last forever.

In November 2021, Big Short director Adam McKay revealed that his more than 20-year bond with Will Ferrell went sour in 2019 over a casting decision. “I f***ed up on how I handled that,” McKay admitted to Vanity Fair.

It’s safe to say these bonds can be broken — but they can also be repaired if both parties are willing to let bygones be bygones, which was the case for Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

Scroll down to see why these former celeb besties are no longer pals — and if any have made amends:

Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker — Cattrall and Parker costarred on Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004 and later reprised their roles for two movie sequels in 2008 and 2010. During negotiations for a third SATC movie in 2010, Parker claimed Cattrall made requests from the studio that didn’t come through, so the cast decided not to move forward without her. That is when Parker and Cattrall’s rift allegedly began.
In 2017, Cattrall claimed during an interview with Piers Morgan that the two have “never been friends.” Cattrall alleged that Parker “could have been nicer,” during their time on set, claiming, “I don’t know what her problem is.”
The following year, Cattrall slammed Parker after the actress offered condolences to Cattrall after her brother died. “Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend,” Cattrall fired back via social media in 2018. “So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
In response, Parker told Extra in October 2018, “She has felt perfectly comfortable to say lots of things. That’s the beauty of living in a democracy, but I have no apologies, meaning, this isn’t a catfight. This is someone who chose to talk about something, and myself, I remain grateful for her work and the role she played on and off camera for all the years we spent together.”
When Parker revived her SATC character, Carrie Bradshaw, for HBO Max’s And Just Like That sequel series in 2021, Cattrall did not sign on. She did, however, make a cameo during a 2023 episode.

James Franco and Seth Rogen — Franco and Rogen met while starring on the 1999 series Freaks and Geeks. They went on to work together on several movies, including Pineapple Express, This Is the End, The Disaster Artist and The Interview.
Their decades-long friendship hit a snag in 2018 when Franco was accused of sexual misconduct by five women, four of whom were his acting students. Franco, who later confessed to sleeping with different students while teaching college courses, settled a sexual misconduct lawsuit with two of the former students in 2021.
After the legal drama simmered down, Rogen told The Sunday Times in 2021, “The truth is that I have not and I do not plan to [work with Franco] right now.” That December, Franco confirmed that their personal and professional relationship had stalled.
In October 2024, Franco gave an update on their dynamic, telling Variety, “I haven’t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me.”

Jordyn Woods and Kylie Jenner — Jenner and Woods were inseparable for years until news broke in February 2019 that Woods was spotted getting cozy with Tristan Thompson. It was later revealed that Woods kissed the NBA player. At the time, Thompson was dating Jenner’s sister Khloé Kardashian and they already shared one child. (Thompson now shares daughter True and son Tatum with Kardashian.)
Kardashian took Thompson back after the scandal, but they called it quits for good in June 2021. Jenner, meanwhile, chose to take a break from Woods following the incident.
“She was very conflicted initially, but after observing all the chaos across the board, she knew she had no choice to step away from the friendship,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2020 of Jenner’s decision.
After three years apart, Jenner reached out to Woods in July 2023 to reconnect. The following year, Jenner revealed during an episode of The Kardashians that she had “a lot more healthy distance in the relationship” with Woods, noting that they talk “once a month.”

Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards — The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars' friendship took a turn for the worst after getting into an argument over the PuppyGate scandal in 2018. After the fight, Vanderpump stopped talking to Richards and exited the Bravo series one year later.
In May 2022, the Halloween Kills star got candid about how much she "missed" her former friend while appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “On a scale from one to 10 … two to three,” Richards quipped.

Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa — Rumors of an alleged feud between the two actresses began in November 2022 after Gomez said that Taylor Swift was her only friend in the industry.
Raisa — who donated her kidney to the Only Murderers in the Building star in 2017 amid her battle with lupus — expressed her disappointment in being left out and commented "Interesting" on a post that included Gomez's quote and unfollowed her.
Gomez clapped back on a TikTok explaining the drama and said, “Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know."
In July 2023, the pair appeared to be back on track after Gomez wished Raisa a happy birthday via Instagram, calling her a “special human being.” Gomez added, “No matter where life takes us, I love you. ❤️ @franciaraisa."
Three months later, Raisa poked fun at her alleged feud with Gomez by creating sweatshirts that read, “No Beef, Just Salsa.” She later posted a photo with Gomez wearing the cheeky merchandise together.

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Chris Harrison — The Bachelor Nation alums had a falling out after Bristowe took on a role as a mentor following Harrison's exit from the franchise in 2021.
“They offered me the position to come in, and what the Bachelor franchise said [I was there to do] was to mentor Katie,” the former Bachelorette explained during a January 2023 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “[They said] I wouldn’t be replacing Chris. Then all these articles started coming out, saying, ‘Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe replacing Chris Harrison.’”
Bristowe said she reached out to the former host about the situation and never heard back. Harrison, for his part, explained his silence on a February 2023 episode of the “Most Dramatic Podcast Ever" with the Dancing With the Stars alum.
“I was the mentor — somewhat of a father figure — where I listened. And I asked questions, and I was all about you and your life, because that was my job and I care. And I took a lot of pride in that and that’s how our relationship started,” he said. “This time, I needed that flip of just the, ‘Hey, how are you? Are you OK?’ Not, ‘Are you OK with me taking the show and you’re irreplaceable.’ And I appreciated those words, but it was just at that time, I didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with all of that.”

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay — The former producing partners, who had been friends since the ‘90s, called it quits on their professional and personal relationship in 2019.
In an interview with Vanity Fair two years later, McKay explained that he thought a casting decision is what hurt their friendship. He cast John C. Reilly in a series about the Lakers over Ferrell — and didn’t let the Stranger Than Fiction star know.
“I f***ed up on how I handled that,” McKay explained in 2021. "[Ferrell] took it as a way deeper hurt than I ever imagined and I tried to reach out to him, and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for.”
He continued, “The whole time it was like I was saying it out loud, ‘Let’s not become an episode of Behind the Music. Don’t let it happen.’ And it happened.”

Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan — The heiress and the Freaky Friday star were inseparable until 2006, when Lohan started dating Hilton’s ex, Stavros Niarchos. The frenemies spent years taking shots at each other until June 2017 when it seemed as if the two had made amends.
However, later that year, Hilton threw a bit of shade Lohan’s way, accusing the Parent Trap actress of crashing her infamous 2006 night out with Britney Spears. She did it again in May 2019 after Andy Cohen asked her to list three nice things about Lohan on his talk show Watch What Happens Live. “She’s beyond, lame and embarrassing,” Hilton replied.
Soon after, Lohan fired back at the time through her spokesperson, who told Us Weekly, “Obviously, Paris needs to feel relevant and is desperate for attention.”
The two appeared to be on the road to reconciliation in December 2021, when Hilton congratulated Lohan on her then-recent engagement to Bader Shammas via her podcast.
In January 2022, Hilton confirmed that they were back in good graces. “I just feel that we’re grown-ups now,” Hilton said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “I’m married [to Carter Reum], she just got engaged. We’re not, like, in high school. I think it was very immature and now everything is all good.”

Jef Holm and Arie Luyendyk Jr. — Holm slammed his ex-friend in September 2017 after it was announced that the race car driver would be the season 22 Bachelor. "Oh, the stories I could tell …" he tweeted. "I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting."
The two appeared together on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette in 2012. Maynard picked Holm, while Luyendyk Jr. was the runner-up. However, Maynard and Holm called it quits later that year.

Jennie Garth and Tiffani Amber Thiessen — Thiessen told Howard Stern in 2012 that when she first joined the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1994, “the girls were not very nice to me.” However, after Garth “actually apologized” for her behavior towards her, “Jennie and I became very good friends,” the White Collar actress revealed.
However, it wasn’t meant to last. Thiessen didn’t go into detail as to what led to their breakup, but she told Stern, “I was the one who was hurt, let’s just say that. I was the one who was hurt.”

Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson — What caused the former BFFs to split? "Ken is sick of her cycle of dumping friends when she's with a guy," a source told Us in 2010 of Simpson. "She doesn't care about the world, only herself. All she talks about is men, love, and sex."

Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow — Though they've been friends since 1999, a source close to both stars claimed the women had a major falling out in June 2010. "They don't speak," the insider told Us. "I can't tell you exactly why they had the falling out, but Gwyneth can be jealous and competitive."
In April of that same year, the Goop founder hinted that she and the “Material Girl” singer weren’t as close as they once were. When talking to British Vogue about Madonna’s former trainer Tracy Anderson, Paltrow sniped, "Yeah, it's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna anymore. It was too much. She keeps people waiting — it takes up your whole day.”

Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan — After being shut out of Charlotte Ronson's private Hollywood party at Chateau Marmont in 2009, Richie reportedly dissed Lohan by ignoring the actress as she walked by her. "Everyone's turned on me," Lohan later told Us.
Five years later, the Simple Life alum opened up about her brief friendship with the Mean Girls star on a 2014 episode of Watch What Happens Live, saying, “[I] haven’t spoken to her in a while,” choosing not to elaborate any further.

Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt — After Pratt's violent outbursts got him kicked off The Hills, Jenner opened up about his rift with his former castmate. "Lately, it's hard for me — even as someone who used to be best friends with him — to see what's real and what's not as far as he goes," Jenner explained.
Nine years later, the two came to blows during a 2019 episode of The Hills: New Beginnings.

Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan — Gosselin became fast friends with Lindsay Lohan's estranged dad in the Hamptons in July 2009. But their friendship was doomed after Michael began dating Gosselin's ex, reporter Kate Major, later that year. (The couple divorced in 2018 after four years of marriage.)
One year later, Michael accused the Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum of cheating him out of money.
"Jon knows what the deal was. I kept him out of harm's way... and he stabbed me in the back," the amateur boxer told Access in 2010. "When you open your door to somebody and you give them a safe haven and a place to go and then they turn around and bite the hand that feeds or stab you in the back, that doesn't sit well with me."

Rachel Zoe and Brad Goreski — Though Goreski claims his professional split with Zoe was amicable, a source close to the styling duo says otherwise. "Brad has gotten a little big in the head and Rachel is not happy," a source told Us. As for Zoe? "She's so focused on everything else that he was doing all of the work."
During a July 2021 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Zoe admitted, “I don’t see him,” later adding, “People should be professional. They should.”

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato — The once inseparable BFFs reportedly grew apart when Gomez befriended Swift. When Lovato was asked in January 2010 if they were still close to their Princess Protection Program costar, they shot back coldly: "Ask Taylor."
A decade later, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer told Harper’s Bazaar that they no longer keep in touch with the Only Murders in the Building actress.
"When you grow up with somebody, you're always going to have love for them. But I'm not friends with her,” Lovato said in April 2020. "I will always have love for her, and I wish everybody nothing but the best."

Tori Spelling and Tiffani Thiessen — "All my cast members hate me," Spelling told Ryan Seacrest of her former Beverly Hills, 90210 pals. The problem? Spelling believes the actors — especially Thiessen — disapprove of how she met her husband, Dean McDermott. "She doesn't talk to me anymore," Spelling said.
While a source told Us Weekly in 2016 that the two had ended their 10-year feud, Spelling’s appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race one year later reignited the rumors that the two weren’t on the best of terms.
After a performer paid homage to Thiessen’s 90210 character, Valerie Malone, her former costar Jennie Garth refused to say the Saved by the Bell alum’s name. Spelling then chimed in, "Just say, 'That which we don't speak of.'

Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag — Mascara-tears galore! Conrad and Montag's friendship fell apart as the cameras rolled on the set of their smash reality series The Hills. The former roommates and BFFs memorably feuded over Montag's boyfriend-turned-husband Spencer Pratt, along with the infamous accusation from Conrad, that the couple had leaked a sex tape.
In August 2021, Montag accused her former costar of treating her like a “dog,” but also said she feels “so much love” for the designer.
“It didn’t have to go that way,” she said during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast of their long-running feud. “She chose and wanted it to go that way, and then kept following up with that, and then kept blaming things on me and blaming her [rumored] sex tape on me.”

Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder — When Paltrow and Ryder dated Ben Affleck and Matt Damon respectively, the actresses were inseparable in the '90s — until Paltrow reportedly stumbled upon the script for Shakespeare in Love at Ryder's home. Adding salt to the wound, Paltrow won an Oscar for the role she allegedly stole from her BFF.

Influencer Details Being Randomly Punched in the Head in NYC

Us Weekly News

Influencer Kindra Hall had a frightening encounter when out and about in New York City.

“On Wednesday, May 14th, around 10:30am I was punched in the head by a passing stranger,” the author, 44, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 22. “I wasn’t going to post this as a reel … but there are a few pieces of the story I hadn’t shared and I think they are important for my UES community and fellow NYers to know.”

In the post, Hall included a clip of surveillance footage from the event which showed her getting punched and knocked down on the ground while on a walk.

“FIRST. I wasn’t on my phone when it happened. I wasn’t distracted,” she continued. “It wasn’t an unsafe hour. I even made note of the guy when I saw him, but it wasn’t until I saw a strange flick in his hand (you can see in the footage) that I realized something wasn’t right.”

Lana Del Rey, More Take a Stand When Their Boundaries Are Crossed

Hall grabbed her phone and recorded the stranger who then threatened to “slit” her throat, according to the footage. The stranger also shared a location where Hall could find him. The motivational speaker then called the police and wanted to file a report. Hall claimed to have issues with the authorities.

“SECOND. The police took [approx] 30 min to arrive and once they did, even after showing the video with the guy shouting threats, acted like it wasn’t a big deal,” she alleged. “I remember saying, ‘So since I’m not bleeding, a punch to the head is ok?!’”

She continued: “THIRD. When I refused to back down and only after I told them I had a headache … They agreed to go to the address the man shouted in the video and MADE ME GO WITH THEM, despite having video footage clearly identifying him.”

Hall added that making her confront her assaulter was a “terrifying” experience. She also claimed that the police did not assist in getting the security footage, that was something she and her husband, Michael, accomplished.

“The cops walked into the nail salon when I pointed out the camera, but said only the owner had access to the footage,” she said. “Michael, my husband, went back later and the salon happily put him in touch with the owner who immediately found the footage and sent it to him. It took five minutes.”

Brynn Questions Whether Her 'RHONY' Costars Believe She Was Assaulted

While the incident was scary for Hall, she expressed how “grateful” she was that it wasn’t “worse.” Hall sustained “some swelling at the point of impact” near her jaw and ear. She also had ”a headache.”

“I’m grateful it was me and not someone who couldn’t take the hit or the fall. I’m hopeful the man gets the help and services he clearly needs. And I’m heartbroken and furious that this is how it is — so much apathy,” she wrote. “Stay safe and stay aware. And if it happens to you, don’t let anyone convince you to let it go. The problem is SO big and SO layered but pretending nothing can be done is not the solution. I NYC.”

Justin Baldoni's 'Jane the Virgin' Costar Weighs In on Blake Lively Drama

Us Weekly News

By: Johnni Macke

22 May 2025 at 16:47

Jane the Virgin alum Brett Dier is weighing in on former costar Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal drama with Blake Lively.

“It’s a really intense situation,” Dier, 35, told Fan Mail in an interview published on Thursday, May 22, confessing, “I probably shouldn’t say much, but I’ll say this: I always loved Justin.”

Dier shared that Baldoni, 41, has “always been an amazing friend to me.” He noted, “I’m just hoping everything resolves in time.”

Baldoni and Dier have been friends since they costarred on The CW’s Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019. Dier played Gina Rodriguez’s first husband, Michael Cordero, while Baldoni played her character Jane Villanueva’s other romantic love interest, Rafael Solano.

Everything Justin Baldoni's Costars Have Said About Working With Him

Dier confirmed on Thursday that even though the show ended six years ago, he stays connected with a “good amount” of his former castmates from the series, which he recalled being a “wild ride.”

Although Dier didn’t identify Baldoni — or anyone specific from the cast — as someone he is close with, he previously supported the actor when his movie It Ends With Us hit theaters.

Dier and Yael Grobglas, who played Baldoni’s first wife on Jane the Virgin, went to the theaters together in August 2024 to see the film. “Our genius friend @justinbaldoni made a phenomenal film,” Grobglas, 40, wrote via Instagram at the time. “I cried an embarrassing amount and tried to hide it but probably failed.”

Justin Baldoni Alleges Blake Lively Pushed Cast to 'Shun' Him

She shared a photo with Dier inside the theater after the showing, adding, “I am so proud of you, and I love you friend !!!!”

While Baldoni — who was the director and one of the movie’s stars — received praise from his former castmates, the project has since been a source of contention. Baldoni has been embroiled in a messy legal battle with his It Ends With Us costar Lively, 37, since December 2024 when she filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.

Baldoni has denied all accusations made against him in Lively’s lawsuit, which included accusations of him creating a hostile work environment and causing her “severe emotional distress” while making the film.

Can Either Blake Lively or Justin Baldoni Win Amid Their Legal Battles?

Baldoni later filed his own $400 million lawsuit against the Gossip Girl actress, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane. He accused the trio of trying to “destroy” him, his team and their respective companies by “disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”

Lively and Reynolds, 48, have denied the allegations and filed to dismiss the motion completely.

“The entirety of Mr. Baldoni’s case appears to be based on Mr. Reynolds allegedly privately calling Mr. Baldoni a ‘predator,’ but here is the problem, that is not defamation unless they can show that Mr. Reynolds did not believe that statement to be true,” Reynolds’ attorneys Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson said in a statement shared with Us Weekly in March. “The complaint doesn’t allege that, and just the opposite, the allegations in the complaint suggest that Mr. Reynolds genuinely believes Mr. Baldoni is a predator.”

Justin Baldoni's Wife Loves 'The Man, Husband and Father' He Is Amid Drama

The statement continued, “Mr. Reynolds’ wife has accused Mr. Baldoni — privately and in multiple complaints — of sexual harassment and retaliation, and as pointed out by Mr. Reynolds’ motion, Mr. Baldoni has also openly spoken about his past of mistreating women and pushing the boundaries of consent. Mr. Reynolds has a First Amendment right to express his opinion of Mr. Baldoni, which should be comforting to a group of people who have repeatedly called Ms. Lively and Mr. Reynolds ‘bullies’ and other names over the past year.”

Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman told Us in a statement at the time that Reynolds was allegedly actively involved in the situation “far beyond just being a ‘supportive spouse.’”

Freedman claimed, “Mr. Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible. His fingerprints have been all over this smear campaign against Justin and the Wayfarer team since day one.”

Lively and Baldoni’s trial is scheduled for March 9, 2026.

How Grant Ellis Navigates Comments About Juliana Pasquarosa Relationship

Us Weekly News

By: Ryan Hudgins

22 May 2025 at 15:37

For former Bachelor Grant Ellis, navigating online comments about his relationship with fiancé Juliana Pasquarosa can be “tough.”

“Whatever people have to say, they’re always going to talk. So just lead with love,” Grant, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Wednesday, May 21, Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event. “That’s what me and Jules do really well. So whatever people say, they don’t really know like that.”

Grant gushed that he’s been enjoying “really settling in” the relationship with Juliana, who he got engaged to in the season 29 finale of The Bachelor. The pair are eyeing a destination wedding in Italy, where Juliana has family roots.

“We were in DR on my season, so we’re going to do something for Jules and be in Italy,” he said, noting that their special day will include “really close” friends and family. “We’ve been through a lot with the show and the public opinion, so I think the people that know us and love us, we’re going to have a nice close wedding. It’s definitely going to be extravagant, but it’s going to be just family and friends, people that know us and love us.”

Grant Ellis Tells Bachelor Nation to 'Stay Classy' After Finale Fallout

While Grant popped the question, the pair have plans to redo the proposal closer to their wedding day. As for when that wedding could actually be, Grant did not have an answer for Us.

“We’ve been taking our relationship just day by day, honestly. She is a person that has a lot of support with family and friends. She’s spending a lot of time with them and with me,” he explained. “We’re just now getting into taking things slow, moving together now.”

As he gears up for wedding planning with Juliana, Grant showed up to support the Los Angeles community and pal JD Slajchert — who he also noted as someone who leads with love — at the Bringing the Beach to Beverly Hills to Rebuild Malibu event.

“I think showing support for LA and showing support for the community is big, and to have somebody spearhead an event like this and kind of show me what LA is about,” he noted. “I’m from Houston. So it is been really important to do that and to give back. And that’s what this is all about and that’s what JD is all about. So it’s a really big thing for me.”

Grant explained that the couple have plans to team up with JD to raise awareness about addiction, which is something near and dear to their heart.

“We’ve both been through that and with JD’s help and his philanthropy, we’re going to do a lot,” he said. “So this is the first of many endeavors that we’re going to go on. Look forward to it.”

Pro Boxer Dies of Cancer at 25, 2 Weeks After Getting Married

Us Weekly News

By: Russell Steinberg

22 May 2025 at 15:01

Professional boxer Georgia O’Connor has died at age 25, just months after doctors diagnosed her with cancer and two weeks after she married her longtime boyfriend.

Pro boxing promoter Boxxer confirmed her death in a statement to The Guardian on Thursday, May 22.

“We are heartbroken by the passing of Georgia O’Connor,” the statement read. “A true warrior inside and outside the ring, the boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon.”

“Georgia was loved, respected and admired by her friends here at Boxxer,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this difficult time.”

Irish Boxer John Cooney Dead at 28 After Suffering Brain Injury From Fight

O’Connor announced via Instagram on May 12 that she and boyfriend Adriano Cardinali had gotten married, writing, “09.05.2025.The day I married the love of my life. .” She wrote the caption alongside a photo of the couples’ hands with rings fully in view.

In January, O’Connor revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer after she claims doctors ignored her symptoms, including debilitating pain, for months.

“For 17 weeks since the start of October, I’ve been in constant pain, going back and forth between Durham and Newcastle RVI A&E knowing deep down something was seriously wrong,” O’Connor wrote via Instagram on January 31. “I said from the start I felt it was cancer. I KNEW the risks. I have colitis and PSC, two diseases that dramatically increase the chances of getting it. I KNOW how high my risk is and they do too. They always did.”

She continued, “But not one doctor f***ing listened to me. Not one doctor took me seriously. Not one doctor did the scans or blood tests I begged for whilst crying on the floor in agony. Instead, they dismissed me. They gaslit me, told me it was nothing, made me feel like I was overreacting. They refused to scan me. They refused to investigate. They REFUSED to listen. One even told me that it’s ‘all in my head.’ And now? Now the cancer has spread.”

Influencer Diagnosed With Incurable Colon Cancer Dies at Age 21: Report

One month after revealing her diagnosis, she confirmed via Instagram that her cancer was “incurable.” She also told her followers in February that she had suffered a miscarriage.

O’Connor was undefeated in her boxing career since turning pro in 2021. As an amateur, she was a gold medalist at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games, won the silver at the same year’s Youth World Championships and took home bronze the next year.

“My heart goes out to Georgia’s parents and partner, who I know did everything they could tirelessly and are going through so much right now,” Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom wrote via X.

O’Connor had not fought professionally since 2022, revealing in February 2023 that she was suffering from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that results in ulcers in the colon.

David and Victoria Beckham 'Feel Betrayed' Over Fallout With Son Brooklyn

David and Victoria Beckham are reeling from the major fracture in their relationship with their son Brooklyn.

A source exclusively told Us Weekly that David, 50, and Victoria, 51, “feel betrayed” about the current state of things, which came to a head when Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, skipped David’s 50th birthday party in London earlier this month.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola’s absence from the celebratory bash was described as “a blow.”

“Victoria and David haven’t called, texted or messaged Brooklyn directly since the birthday party,” the insider added.

David and Victoria Beckham Near Breaking Point With Brooklyn Amid 'Drama'

At the crux of the estrangement is “very deep tension rooted in control and different plans for Brooklyn’s future.”

“Nicola comes from a powerful family,” the source explained. “David and Victoria are used to being in control [of situations like this] and there has been a shift.”

The actress’ father, Nelson Peltz, is a billionaire American businessman who cofounded Trian Partners, a hedge fund management firm. Nicola’s mother, Claudia Heffner, is a former fashion model. The couple got married in 1985 and have 8 children.

Recently, Brooklyn credited his wife, 30, for inspiring his new line of hot sauces, Cloud23, which launched in October 2024.

“Friends and people around them see a long road to mending this,” the source explained. “But there is a desire to mend on David and Victoria’s part.”

In spite of the current friction with his parents, a second source said that Brooklyn and Nicola, who got married in April 2022, are stronger than ever.

“Nicola and Brooklyn are incredibly happy together, dedicated to building a marriage based on unconditional love, caring, support and family,” the insider said. “It seems this exposure to a healthy relationship has made Brooklyn question his own family and upbringing.”

David Beckham ‘Really Wants the Knighthood’, 'Very Close’ With King Charles

The source explained how Brooklyn’s reluctance to attend David’s birthday party — which centered around Brooklyn’s dislike of his younger brother Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull — was really just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“After recent years of attempting to set boundaries with his family and encourage honest and positive change in their relationship to no avail, he’s become discouraged and disheartened,” the source said.

Nicola has “tried to have a close and positive relationship with David and Victoria,” the source said, but recent developments have forced that to “come to an end.”

The insider added, “Nicola and Brooklyn have a mutual desire for Brooklyn to explore his interests and grow as a person. That is what is causing the family rift.”

Sister Wives' Kody and Janelle's Quotes About Son Garrison's Death

Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Janelle Brown are no longer married but after the death of their son Garrison, they have been united in their grief.

“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Kody wrote in a joint Instagram statement with Janelle in March 2024. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”

The former couple’s statement came shortly after Us Weekly confirmed Garrison died by suicide at the age of 25. (Kody and Janelle, who split in 2022, share six children including Garrison.)

Since Garrison’s passing, Janelle has been vocal on social media about her ups and downs with grief. Kody, meanwhile, expressed his heartbreak on several episodes of Sister Wives, season 19 of which documented the family’s initial reactions and eventual burying of Garrison.

Coming Out of the Fog

“It’s been hard to get my brain to work properly again,” Janelle explained via Instagram in March 2024, sharing photos from Garrison’s celebration of life. “I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I’ve received these last three weeks. The support has been overwhelming. I am honored.”

Heavenly Birthday

“Happy Birthday Sweetheart,” Janelle captioned an Instagram post in April 2024 on what would have been her son’s 26th birthday. “We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore.”

She shared, “We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place ) I still feel you nearby sometimes. And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.”

Mother’s Day Memories

Janelle revealed in May 2024 that she “felt the grief so close to the surface” while celebrating her first Mother’s Day without Garrison. “It was especially poignant when I made this simple pie,” she wrote via social media. “Our strawberry picking excursion combined with the fact that I randomly found rhubarb at the local farmers market made it feel like this pie was destined.”

Janelle continued: “Maybe no one loved it more than Garrison. And that made this pie a little bittersweet. I love you honey and miss you every day.”

Getting Through It

“Every day is a day,” Janelle exclusively told Us at the Us Weekly + Pluto TV Reality Stars of the Year Party at the Dream Hotel in October 2024. “You just take it one day at a time, one moment at a time.”

She explained, “I just think you do what you can to support mental health, especially men’s mental health. And we just continued to try to honor him and remember him.”

Sister Wives’ Kody Wanted More Time With Son Garrison, Recalls His Death

1 Year

Janelle mourned her son in March 2025 on the anniversary of his death, revealing via Instagram, “I stay busy but in EVERY quiet moment you are first and foremost in my thoughts. It’s been a year baby. We miss you so much. I miss you so much.”

Gone Too Soon

Sister Wives documented the family’s reaction to Garrison’s death during a May 2025 episode, including Kody’s response to the news. “Grief comes in waves. It just wasn’t supposed to be this way. You know what I’m saying?” Kody said during the May 4 episode. “It’s just heartbreaking.”

He confessed, “I didn’t get a chance to really just make things right, just not being able to say goodbye.”

After butting heads with Garrison prior to his death over his COVID-19 rules, Kody confessed, “It’s, like, I’ve got to do something different because I could have had more time with him, and I thought there would be more time. Everybody thinks they got more time.”

Kody broke down to wife Robyn Brown, asking, “How am I going to do this? How do I do the rest of my life with every holiday and every birthday?”

Last Conversation

During the same May 2025 Sister Wives episode, Janelle recalled the hours before Garrison died. She remembered texting and talking with him throughout the day and when he stopped around 8 p.m., Janelle asked his brothers to check in on him and then she went to bed.

She woke up to a call from her son Gabriel Brown telling her that Garrison was dead. “I don’t know what happened that night he did that because he’s had other nights like this where he would drink and then pass out and he would go kind of radio silent, but he’d be back in the morning,” Janelle explained. “I don’t know what happened this time.”

Janelle later told her sister Carrie that Garrison had “anxiety and depression and then he started drinking as a way to sort of soothe that” during the coronavirus pandemic. “And then just became the animal he couldn’t get a hold of. We did everything we could. And I know that,” she concluded.

Brotherly Love

Janelle recalled during a May 2025 episode of Sister Wives that Garrison was “very much involved with the young kids.” She fondly remembered him being “very mindful” of Kody and Christine Brown’s youngest daughter, Truely.

“Robyn would comment that he would come over every day to see Sol and Ari,” Janelle explained in the May 11 episode, referring to Kody and his fourth wife’s two children, Solomon and Ariella. Janelle gushed, “He was always very much about his younger siblings.”

Overcome By Anxiety

During the same May 2025 TLC episode, Kody detailed his desire to take Garrison’s ashes and bury them in his ancestral state of Wyoming as a sort of “pilgrimage.”

“Sometimes out of the blue, out of the blue, it’ll overcome me. Almost, like, some kind of anxiety attack,” Kody said of the process. “Just a deep, overwhelming feeling that I’ll never see him again. There’s so much left unsaid, so much left undone.”

He noted that in order to mourn, he planned to bury Garrison “next to his grandma and his grandpa and, you know, just kind of … finish the circle.” Kody teared up, saying, “I was the first one that held him. This is my son. I rocked him to sleep. This is part of my mourning process.”

Digging the Grave

“I talked to the sexton of the cemetery and he’s the one that would normally dig the graves,” Kody explained in a separate May 2025 episode of Sister Wives. “And I just asked him permission if I could dig it. It means something to me. I don’t know why.”

Kody proceeded to dig Garrison’s grave in an “old west country cemetery” in Wyoming, calling it, “One of the most important things I’ve ever done.” He revealed, “It’s the last ode to my boy. … This is my duty, my job.”

How Blake Lively Fiercely Defended Pal Taylor Swift After Latest Legal Move

Us Weekly News

By: Kaitlin Simpson

22 May 2025 at 14:42

Blake Lively showed she has Taylor Swift’s back after the subpoena against her friend was dropped.

“We are pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm,” a spokesperson for Lively, 37, said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, May 22. “We supported the efforts of Taylor’s team to quash these inappropriate subpoenas directed to her counsel and we will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process.”

The statement also acknowledged what a powerhouse Swift, 35, is in the world.

“The Baldoni and Wayfarer team have tried to put Taylor Swift, a woman who has been an inspiration for tens of millions across the globe, at the center of this case since day one,” the statement continued. “Exploiting Taylor Swift’s celebrity was the original plan in Melissa Nathan’s scenario planning document, and it continues to this day. Faced with having to justify themselves in federal court, they folded. At some point they will run out of distractions from the actual claims of sexual harassment and retaliation they are facing.”

Taylor Swift Subpoena Dropped by Justin Baldoni Amid Blake Lively Lawsuit

Us confirmed on Thursday, that the subpoena against Swift was dropped. A source close to the matter told Us the summons for Swift was dropped “because information was voluntarily provided” to Baldoni’s legal team.

Us reached out to Swift and Baldoni for comment at the time.

Swift was brought into Lively and Baldoni’s ongoing legal drama after being mentioned in their respective lawsuits. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni accusing her It Ends With Us director and costar of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and orchestrating an alleged smear campaign against her.

The following month, Baldoni, who vehemently denied the allegations, countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. He accused the couple of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more. Lively and Reynolds denied the allegations and filed to dismiss the $400 million lawsuit.

Baldoni’s lawyer claimed that they spoke to an ally of Swift. The attorney alleged that Lively urged Swift to delete any personal text messages between them and allegedly asked the singer to publicly back her amid the drama.

Earlier this month, Baldoni’s legal team subpoenaed Swift. Swift reacted to the legal situation via a statement through her representative and denied having any creative involvement in the movie.

“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,” the rep said in a statement to Us at the time. “She did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.”

Taylor Swift 'Wasn't Happy' About Being Dragged Into 'It Ends With Us' Drama Case

The statement continued: “The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did. This document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”

While Lively publicly defended Swift amid her legal issues, a source told Us that the lawsuits have made an impact on the pair’s friendship.

“Taylor and Blake have spoken, and Blake [said she’s sorry],” an insider revealed in a recent Us cover story. “Taylor is very forgiving, and in her eyes, she still considers Blake a friend. But the lawsuit is still ongoing, and until it’s resolved, [things are] difficult.”

Sarah Jessica Parker called it . . . we’re having a Carrie Bradshaw summer! The And Just Like That star was spotted in a vibrant floral dress that looks straight out of her iconic character’s closet. And no, you don’t have to have a stylist to get the look, we found an affordable version on Amazon that channels the same look.

The actress was recently spotted at none other than one of New York City’s biggest landmark icons, The Plaza Hotel. For a season 3 press junket, the actress wore a totally Carrie-coded look (as she would), that was a hint vintage-looking. She styled a mint green jacket with a multi-color floral dress, snake print shoes and a white handbag.

Her vibrant floral dress was the real main character to Us — and brings total summer date night vibes. While her original pick hasn’t yet surfaced, this $30 version brings charm for what’s likely a fraction of the cost.

See it!

Get the Caracilia Floral Corset Midi Sundress for just $30 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, May 21, 2025, but are subject to change.

The Caracilia Floral Corset Midi Sundress is exactly what we’d wear while twirling down Fifth Avenue or for a meet-cute summer moment. Looking like something straight out of Carrie’s closet, this dress has a romantic milkmaid silhouette that highlights all of the feminine features, while flowing at the bottom. The structured waist snatches the midsection and the cute bow detail adds a flirty touch.

Aside from its romantic elegance, the dress comes in a print that we think would catch Carrie Bradshaw’s eye immediately. Its floral print features a mix of pink, lilac and purple that’s sure to bring some girly energy to your closet. Plus, if you end up loving the way this dress flatters your body, it also comes in several other pretty floral prints.

One shopper said that the dress’s design “really boosted” their self confidence and that it’s “super stretchy” and “fit perfectly.”

If you’ve got plans to wear this dress for a romantic date night, we think it’d pair flawlessly with hoop earrings, a messy bun, layered necklace and dare we say . . . some Manolo Blahnik heels! However, it can be used for less dressy occasions as well, like maybe a casual vacation day with some sandals, a rattan bag and statement earrings.

Hayley Hasselhoff Talks 'Poignant' Way She Channeled Late Mom Pamela Bach

Us Weekly News

By: Grace Riley

22 May 2025 at 14:21

Hayley Hasselhoff is honoring her mother’s fashion legacy on the most glamorous stage: the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

Hayley, 32, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about channeling her late mother, Pamela Bach, who died by suicide at age 61 in March, at the premiere of The History Of Sound in the South of France on Wednesday, May 21.

For the occasion, the model and designer Christophe Guillarmé collaborated on a custom design inspired by Pamela’s 1996 Golden Globes gown: a cherry-red Studio by Jimmy Gamba stunner.

When Pamela, who shared Hayley and her sister Taylor, 35, with legendary Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff, wore the silky fitted number, she styled it with a feathered boa, diamond earrings and a bedazzled clutch. Hayley looked just like her mom at Cannes, also wearing diamond statement earrings, but opting for a custom tulle shawl instead of the plumed accessory.

Both women looked their best with dewy makeup and bouncy, voluminous curls.

The Best Looks at Cannes Film Festival: From Teri Hatcher to Barbara Palvin

As soon as Hayley received an invitation to the French film festival, she knew it was the perfect opportunity to wear her heart on her sleeve.

“This would be my first major public appearance since her passing, and there was no more meaningful way to return than by paying homage to a moment of hers I’ve always adored,” Hayley told Us exclusively.

Hayley, who has worked as a curve model since age 14, also set up her own initiative, CHECKINWITHYOU in 2020 to open conversations surrounding mental health.

Below, Hayley gives Us a behind-the-scenes look at how the poignant moment came together and what it meant to be able to recreate her mother’s memory on the red carpet.

When you were invited to Cannes, did you already know you wanted to channel your mom?
When the invitation to Cannes came this year, I knew instantly [that] I had to honor her. This would be my first major public appearance since her passing, and there was no more meaningful way to return than by paying homage to a moment of hers I’ve always adored.

How did you land on your mom’s 1996 Golden Globe look?
Red is such a powerful, symbolic color — one of love, strength, and enduring spirit. It felt fitting. Not only did my mom look gorgeous in the gown, but it was the joy in her expression that truly stayed with me.

She was similar in age to me now when she wore it, which made the choice feel all the more poignant. It was as though I could share that moment with her — two women, two eras, connected in a moment in time through a single gown.

How did your custom dress come together?
My dear friend and designer, Christophe Guillarmé, paid homage to the original with a silk red ruched gown, while replacing mom’s signature boa with a delicate, custom-made tulle shawl.

The look was completed with oversized diamond earrings from Gil Neuhaus and a Swarovski clutch I already owned — both perfectly echoing the accessories my mother wore on that unforgettable night. The most personal touch, however, was wearing one of mom’s stunning sapphire rings. It was my way of feeling her presence beside me on the carpet yesterday — and always.

How long was the dress design in the making?
The entire process unfolded with remarkable swiftness, taking just under a month. Upon my arrival in Cannes on May 21, we moved directly into a flawless fitting, where it felt as though my mother herself was quietly guiding every detail to ensure the evening was nothing short of perfect.

What did you learn from your mother in terms of red-carpet style?
What I admired most about my mother’s style was her fearless embrace of boldness. While some adhere to the mantra less is more, my mother epitomized the belief that more is more.

Which look of your mom’s is your favorite of all time?
I have a particular fondness for her ’90s ensembles — leopard prints and monochromatic silk separates that exuded “effortlessly cool.” During my teenage years, I would often sneak pieces from her wardrobe to capture hint of that aesthetic she so naturally embodied.

What is it like getting to play “dress up” for a living as a model?
One of the greatest blessings has been working with creatives who are equally passionate about redefining beauty — for curvy women to feel seen, valued, and heard through fashion, that their bodies are worthy, right here, right now.

How did Mental Health Awareness Month inspire your Cannes homage?
With 970 million people struggling with a mental health condition today, it has never been more important to speak up and break the stigma. No story is too small to impact another person, reminding them they are not alone in facing their challenges. Your mental health condition does not define you; with support and the freedom to speak openly, you can live authentically and embrace that it’s perfectly okay not to be okay all of the time.

You can struggle and still succeed. Breaking the stigma has always been deeply important to me, but now more than ever. That is why I am truly excited to share that I am currently collaborating on a special project with the mental health nonprofit Project Healthy Minds to support families who have lost a loved one unexpectedly.

What made this red-carpet look of your mom’s especially meaningful for you?
Every look of hers carries profound meaning, but this one, in particular, captivates me — the glistening expression of love and joy in her eyes. A gown can uplift and make one feel beautiful, yet it is truly my mother’s radiant spirit that shines through in this image.

Revisiting David Hasselhoff and Late Ex Pamela Bach's Relationship Timeline

What was your path to creating your own initiative, CHECKINWITHYOU?
CHECKINWITHYOU started from the belief that it begins with your inner circle — recognizing the importance of checking in with yourself first. By checking in with one another, we build a stronger, more compassionate foundation for open conversations around mental health.

CHECKINWITHYOU was born by inviting friends of mine in the industry to check in with themselves — to look inward honestly and reflect on how they were truly coping with their mental well-being. Launched in 2020, CHECKINWITHYOU started as a collective to demonstrate that you can struggle and still succeed. Over 60 friends from the industry joined in, sharing their reflections and discoveries. Today, the initiative continues its mission to encourage others to check in with themselves and those around them.

These Chic Shark Tank Beach Chairs Make Your Summer Setup Feel So Fancy — Shop All 4 Styles!

Us Weekly News

By: Nicholas Hazleton

22 May 2025 at 14:08

One of the best parts of summer? Hitting the beach, of course! But lugging bulky chairs, awkward umbrellas and mismatched gear across the sand? Not so much fun! That’s where Sunflow comes in. This premium beach brand is taking over social media with its fun and functional gear. Its light-weight chairs, cabanas and accessories are as stylish as they are smart!

Fresh off its Shark Tank backing and social media buzz, Sunflow is quickly becoming the go-to for elevated beach lounging. Below, we’re breaking down four of the brand’s most popular styles, just in time for your next sunnyside escape.

Relaxed and Reclined: Sunflow’s High Tide Chair is a lower-profile beach chair that sits closer to the sand. It reclines in three positions for sunbathing, reading or just taking a cat nap in the sun! At only 12.7 pounds without accessories, the lightweight folding design with backpack straps makes for easy portability. Can’t handle as much sun? Make sure you add on the optional Sun Shade and Drink Holder!

See it!

Crowd Favorite: The Shore Thing Chair is Sunflow’s most affordable option (get an extra discount for buying two!) Like the High Tide Chair, it features three recline settings and optional shade and drink holders. However, the Shore Thing is extremely light at only eight pounds without accessories. We also love the striped design as it gives off fun beachy vibes! The Shore Thing is great for anyone looking for an all-purpose, easy-to-carry beach chair.

See it!

Extra Height, Extra Comfort: Let’s face it: getting in and out of beach chairs isn’t the easiest thing to do as we get older. The Tall Sand Dune Chair solves this issue and is for those who prefer a taller seat height. It’s the perfect choice for people with back issues or those who just like a more elevated view of the ocean and sand. For that extra height, you’re only gaining two additional pounds over the Shore Thing Chair! It’s the recommended option for older beachgoers, parents who want to see a little further, or anyone craving a little extra support.

See it!

Shade Meets Style: While Sunflow’s chairs are great on their own, the Happy Hut Cabana completes to beach day setup. It’s a chic, portable beach cabana that folds down for easy carrying, and features a UV-blocking canopy, nautical rope setup and wide coverage without blocking yours or anyone else’s view. It assembles in less than five minutes and weighs only 10.5 pounds, thanks to sandbags you fill at the beach to hold it down! It’s the ideal choice for families, friend groups or solo sun-seekers who love shade without sacrificing style. It’s available in seven colors, so make sure you color coordinate with your Sunflow chairs!

Everything We Learned from OnlyFans' Annie Knight: Earnings, Sex Logistics

Us Weekly News

By: Ryan Hudgins

22 May 2025 at 14:00

For Australian OnlyFans creator Annie Knight, being dubbed Australia’s Most Sexually Active woman is “accurate.”

“I doubt there’s anyone out there that has a higher body count than me. In Australia anyway,” Knight, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I remember when I first got named that it was two radio hosts in Australia, they called me beforehand, and they were like, ‘We’re just gonna call you this. Is that OK?’ And I was like, ‘Well, yeah, why not? That’s true.’ So I’ve just owned it from day one and I love it.”

Knight made headlines in May when she slept with 583 men in six hours — a number that was on-track to beat fellow OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue’s current record of 1,057 men in 12 hours. While Knight blew her 2025 goal — 1,000 men in a year — out of the water, she has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

“I definitely want to keep going for as long as possible. I just think, why not? I don’t think you could ever say no to making this amount of money,” she told Us. “Obviously, I also enjoy it and it’s fun. I love my job. I wouldn’t want to do anything else.”

Scroll down to see everything Us learned from recent interviews with Knight:

Everything We Know About Annie Knight inline — Annie Knight Courtesy of Annie Knight/Instagram

The Logistics of Sleeping With 583 Men in 6 Hours

To complete her challenge of sleeping with 583 men in six hours, Knight split up the men into hour time slots.

“I was obviously gonna have the most energy at the start. It kind of depended, sometimes it was 10, sometimes it was 20 guys in the room at once,” Knight said. “So I’d be working on like five guys at once whilst everyone else was sort of watching, getting ready.”

“After a few rounds of that, when I sort of started to get tired, then we moved to five guys and we did that for a little bit. Then we moved to two guys. Then eventually, by the very last hour, I was just doing one guy,” she said. “My jaw was very sore by the end of the day.”

Staying Safe — and Protected

While Knight typically has participants be tested for STDs prior to an event since it “looks better” to create content to have the men not wear condoms, she explained it was “impossible” to try and have all 583 men undergo testing. Instead, she decided to demand that everyone wear condoms.

Knight noted that she typically gets tested for STDs every two weeks. “I just need to be safe for their protection and for my protection,” she said.

OnlyFans’ Annie Knight Gives Update Amid Hospitalization for Sex With 583 Men

Navigating a Hospitalization

Three weeks before completing her 583 men challenge, Knight underwent surgery. Despite the health battle, Knight noted that she “felt really good” on the actual day. Days later, Knight shared that she had been hospitalized and confirmed to Us that she underwent blood tests and further medical testing.

“I’m not doing very well, I’ve been bleeding a lot since the challenge,” Knight told Us. “It was definitely a bit raw down there and I did get a small cut.”

Knight noted that her body “just hit a wall” afterward, explaining that she’s “exhausted” from organizing the event while purchasing her “dream house.” She added that her endometriosis became “worse,” noting that “hormonal imbalances can cause irregular and heavy periods” — which is what she has been “dealing with since.”

“The prognosis is good, and it looks like I’m going to have to take a week off, try and relax a little bit, sit out in the sun, just take it easy for a little while,” Knight said. “But I’ll definitely be OK. I’m not letting this slow me down.”

Developing a Friendship With the Guys

While Knight noted that many people expect the men to be “pushy or rude,” she said “everyone was super nice.” After the event, Knight received messages from some of the men thanking her for the experience.

“I had a bunch of them message me and just say, ‘Thanks so much for today. I was number 206, or whatever,’ and just being really grateful for the opportunity,” she said. “I went through my DMs afterwards — I wanted to respond to them all — because I appreciated it too. It was really amazing how many guys showed up. And I had guys drive six hours to be there. I had guys fly into state just to be there for the event, and then flew straight home after. So it was pretty crazy.”

Knight explained that she feels like she forms “friendships” with a lot of the guys. While some participants tend to put her on “this pedestal,” Knight noted that she’s “just a normal person.”

“I’ve taken guys’ virginities before and then they’ve messaged me later and been like, ‘Thanks so much.’ And then months down the line, sent me a message, like, ‘I just had my second experience with the girl, and I used all the tips that you gave me.’ It’s just so nice,” Knight said.

In Knight’s perspective, it makes her feel like she’s “doing my good deed or something.” She added, “It makes me feel really good.”

Reaction to Haters

When it comes to the criticism she receives over events like the 583 men challenge, Knight noted that she’s “used to” the hate.

“People seem to, like, get so uptight about it. At the end of the day, these men just want to have sex. God forbid, a man has sex. And I’m providing a service for free,” she told Us. “It really upsets me when I see people coming after the guys and being so mean about the guys that showed up, because I feel quite protective of them, and so when I see all these negative comments toward them, it really, like, upsets me.”

She continued, “I don’t understand why people have such an issue with it. These guys are just out here living life. They’ve been given an opportunity, and they’re like, ‘F*** it. Like, let’s just do it.’ They’re just having some fun. I think the people that are hating [are] probably just jealous, and their lives are really boring …I mean, the more they hate on me, the more views I get, and the more money I make.”

Knight claimed that her haters “wouldn’t be able to” make the money she earns through her job. “Instead of being supportive and being like, ‘Wow, that’s so cool. Good on you,’ they try and drag me down … because we’re successful and we’re living our dream lives,” she said.

Knight guessed that the criticism she faces “comes from jealousy” and “a lack of understanding,” including people “conforming to societal norms.”

“They don’t want to come out and say, ‘Oh, wow, that’s so cool. Good on you,’ because they don’t want to get judged. They are so fearful of judgment,” Knight said. “I don’t care. I’m out here living my life. I’m speaking openly, I’m living my life authentically, so they can keep being mad, but I’m gonna keep being happy.”

There’s No Competition Between Her and Bonnie Blue

Ahead of Knight’s event, Blue sent her a message with tips of supplies to purchase. Knight noted that the gesture was “really helpful,” because there were a few things she hadn’t thought of to track down – like a toothbrush, toothpaste and tissues.

“Bonnie and I’ve always been super friendly,” Knight noted, adding that the pair began chatting online before Blue skyrocketed to OnlyFans stardom. “It’s been really cool for me to watch her grow. We’ve always had a really supportive friendship, it’s never been competitive at all. We want to help each other. We’ve always helped each other. We give each other tips and advice and that kind of thing.”

Why the 500 Virgins Challenge Is The ‘Hardest’ for Her

In addition to Knight’s 1,000 men in a year goal for 2025, the OnlyFans creator also has her eyes set on sleeping with 500 virgins. As of May, Knight told Us she’s had sex with about 223 men who are virgins.

“That’s been the hardest challenge for me is that one, just because obviously you have to take a lot more time and care with them. Finding guys who are virgins, who are willing to be filmed for their first time, is not that easy,” she said.

For Knight, being able to say that she’s “taken a guy’s virginity and taught him how to have sex” is “just so cool.”

“A lot of these guys are late 20s, 30s, 40s, which might surprise a lot of people, and they’ve never had sex, and they maybe can’t afford to hire an escort, or they don’t want to. I’m providing them a service, and they get to have it for free,” Knight said. “Who better to do it than someone as experienced as me? It’s just a cool thing to do. So I thought, why not?”

Knight noted that the act “definitely feels empowering.” She added, “They always say, like, ‘I can’t believe I get to say that Annie Knight took my virginity.’ And I’m like, ‘Yes, that’s so cool.’ I love that we both are so excited by it.”

Her No. 1 Supporter Is Her Fiance

Knight, who got engaged to Henry Brayshaw in March one week after the pair officially began dating, had the support of her fiancé from afar ahead of the 583 men challenge.

“He was actually at work the day of the event, but he called me in the morning, wished me luck, said, ‘Make us proud. Have fun. Be safe,’” Knight told Us. “And then called me the night of and was like, ‘How was it?’ And I told him all about it.”

Knight said that Brayshaw was “just really stoked” that she “went above and beyond” her goal. “He was proud of me for completing it, because I think he was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to and that I’d be upset that I couldn’t do it,” she said. “He was just really happy for me.”

The pair, who had been friends for years, are set to tie the knot in Australia’s Gold Coast in October 2026. While Knight explained that the couple are sleeping in separate bedrooms, she noted they have plans to switch up their sleeping arrangement with their move.

“The house is a lot bigger, so we’re gonna get a king bed and sort of give that a go. But we’ll have a lot of spare bedrooms, so if he’s ever snoring, I can always sneak off and sleep in one of them,” Knight quipped.

Knight, who noted that their personal relationship is monogamous, explained that she initially implemented a kissing boundary with the men she sleeps with out of respect for her fiancé. After she and Brayshaw had a conversion, however, Knight set new parameters.

“I definitely kissed a few of the guys on Sunday who — that’s what they wanted,” she said. “They really wanted to kiss me and I was open to it because I’d had that conversation with Henry, and he said that that was fine.”

How Her Mom Reacted to Her Career

While Knight’s mom Karyn was initially hesitant about her OnlyFans, she came around to the idea. “She was worried about my safety more than anything and my future,” Knight explained. “But since then she’s the most supportive of anyone.”

How Much Money She Racks Up Through Her Career

When Knight began making OnlyFans content full-time in 2022, she was earning about $10,000 per month. The following year, Knight’s career took off — and she began making over $200,000 per month. Since then, Knight told Us her income has been “pretty consistent.”

“I was so scared when I went viral because I was making so much money, and then I was like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna end eventually. Like, when’s it gonna start coming crashing down?’” she said. “I kept waiting for it to come crashing down and it just hasn’t. I think that that says a lot about my work ethic. I haven’t stopped.”

While Knight “always hoped” she would be able to support herself with her career, she didn’t think her monetary success would be “to this extent.”

“When it actually happened. I was like, ‘This is crazy,’” she shared. “I own four properties now, which is the most insane thing ever because I remember five years ago, all I wanted was to buy an apartment or something and I couldn’t afford it. It feels nice to have financial security and also to be able to support people in my life who need some help at the moment. That feels really good. I’m very grateful.”

Whether She Would Continue Her Career With Children

While having children is “still a little while off” for Knight, she doesn’t see expanding her family as a reason to end her OnlyFans career.

“I know a lot of women in the industry have kids. Whether or not they talk about it is another thing,” she claimed. “People are happily married with children, they’re in the industry, they’re in their 40s. I don’t know, I don’t see why not. We’ll see what happens, things could change.”

‘Grey’s’ Alum Sandra Oh Says ‘The Pitt’ Is ‘Too Intense’ for Her

Sandra Oh has no desire to re-enter the world of fictional doctors anytime soon, even if she’s just watching from the comfort of her couch.

Max’s medical drama, The Pitt, premiered in early January and received much praise from critics and fans alike. But despite being a former TV doctor herself, Oh, 53, still hasn’t seen a single episode.

“It’s, like, too intense,” Oh told Us Weekly and other reporters on the carpet of the fourth annual Gold Gala in Los Angeles on May 10.

“I [heard] such amazing things, and I’m a big fan of Noah [Wyle], but I gotta tell you it’s too intense to watch anything about a hospital,” she explained.

In the show, Wyle, 53, plays Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, a chief attending in an emergency room set in Pittsburgh. It has been applauded for its realistic depictions of doctors, nurses and emergency room staff within the high-pressure workplace and, last month, it was renewed for a second season.

Oh played Cristina Yang on ABC’s long-running medical series Grey’s Anatomy for 10 seasons from 2005 until 2013. During her final appearance on the show, Cristina moved to Switzerland to take a new job, leaving behind her best friend Meredith Grey (Ellen Pomepo) and her other colleagues and friends. (The show is now heading into season 22.)

At the time of her departure, Oh told The Hollywood Reporter, “creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go.” Since her departure, Oh has appeared in various projects such as the 2014 film Tammy and television shows The Chair, Killing Eve and American Crime.

When asked if she watches Grey’s Anatomy reruns, Oh said, “Oh, no. I gotta tell you, I’ve put that gently aside.”

The Gold Gala, a nonprofit event hosted by the Gold House, celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders within the entertainment, fashion and sports spaces. This year’s gala was held at the Music Center in Downtown L.A.

Oh said the event was “extremely” important to her. In 2023, she won the SeeHer Award, which recognizes people who advocate for gender equality, defy stereotypes and push boundaries on and off the screen.

“To see everybody, and just to say hi to everyone — these events did not exist 10, 20 years ago. So to be able to come to it, it’s great, yeah,” she said.

Hotel Manager Claims Diddy Was Flagged for Candle Use, Shares Aliases

Us Weekly News

By: Mike Vulpo

22 May 2025 at 13:56

A manager at a prominent Los Angeles hotel is sharing a glimpse into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ requests before a typical stay.

Frédéric Zemmour — who serves as the general manager of L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills — testified in Diddy’s ongoing trial on Thursday, May 22, and walked the jury through the rapper’s hotel records. (Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.)

While testifying at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City, Zemmour helped explain an internal note about the famous hotel guest.

“ALWAYS spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil,” the internal note stated. “Likes the room HOT! Please set thermostat to 75 degrees.”

The piece of evidence also included an instruction for employees to mark the room “out of order upon departure for deep cleaning.”

At one point, Diddy received a $500 fee for leaving “large deposits of candle wax” on furniture.

According to The Washington Post, Zemmour also testified that Diddy would book rooms under aliases including “Frank Black” and “Ryan Lopez.” Staffers, however, allegedly knew the rap mogul’s identity and placed him in certain entry-level rooms, according to the court exhibits.

Zemmour did not face cross-examination from Diddy’s defense team, and the government proceeded to call another witness soon after.

Prosecutors have claimed that Diddy held “freak offs” at various hotels and requested that rooms be prepared to his liking. Candles, mood lighting and baby oil were allegedly some of Diddy’s frequent requests for hotel workers.

Previously, prosecutors have described freak offs as “elaborate and produced sex performances” that Diddy allegedly orchestrated and coerced others to participate in.

In September 2024, Diddy was arrested in New York City on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has vehemently denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time of his client’s arrest. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Since Diddy’s trial began on May 5, the rapper has heard testimony from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, Kid Cudi and Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard. The trial is expected to last through early July.

Rockies Fan Hit by Foul Ball Cites Poor Play in Lawsuit Against Team

Us Weekly News

By: Russell Steinberg

22 May 2025 at 13:33

The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of what is sure to be their seventh consecutive losing season, and the losses have taken a toll on one fan in particular.

Rockies fan Timothy Roeckel is suing the team after he was struck by a foul ball during a 2023 game at Coors Field against the New York Yankees. Roeckel was sitting in a suite at the time, which he alleges obstructed his view of the ball. To make matters worse, he claims, the team’s persistent losing has made it difficult for fans to pay attention to the action.

The incident happened in the bottom of the first inning when a Rockies batter fouled a pitch off of Yankees starter Gerrit Cole. The ball then “traveled at a speed, velocity and trajectory that allowed it to sail past the 100-level seating, the club boxes and enter the luxury box where [Roeckel] was seated,” according to the lawsuit, filed in a Denver court on Monday, May 19, and viewed by Us Weekly.

The ball struck Roeckel in the right eye and face, allegedly “causing catastrophic and permanent injuries.”

The lawsuit also alleges that the Rockies’ poor play has contributed to an atmosphere at Coors Field where the baseball itself is secondary to the “socializing, dining and business networking [that] have become the primary focus for many attendees.”

“This cultural shift is not incidental but rather encouraged by [the Rockies’] own marketing and design choices, which emphasize hospitality and off-field amenities over fan vigilance,” the suit reads. “A primary example is [the team’s] removal of the upper right field seats and installing a party deck where a view of the game for most spectators is virtually impossible.”

To underscore his point, Roeckel laid out just how hapless the Rockies have been on the field since they last made the postseason in 2018. The suit points out that Colorado was 35-58 at the time of the incident and finished the season at 59-103. Leading up to that season, the Rockies had finished fourth or fifth in the five-team National League West each of the previous four seasons.

Fan Who Fell Onto the Field at MLB Game Was College Football Player

The Rockies haven’t gotten better since then either. They went 61-101 in 2024 and are currently 8-41. Their .163 winning percentage puts them on pace for the worst season of any Major League Baseball team since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.

Roeckel is seeking damages “including, without limitation, economic, noneconomic and permanent impairment and disfigurement damages as well as interest, costs and such other relief as the Court deems just and appropriate.” He has demanded a trial by jury.

Us Weekly has reached out to the Rockies for comment.

Brooks Nader Wouldn’t Wish 'DWTS' Partnership With Gleb on ‘Anyone’

Brooks Nader had a savage response when asked who ex Gleb Savchenko’s next Dancing With the Stars partner should be.

“Not even gonna answer that,” Nader, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly when asked who should be paired with Savchenko, 41, at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch. “I don’t wish that on anyone.”

While she’s no longer competing on the ABC reality competition series, Nader encouraged other celebrities to join — and thinks she has an idea of who could be the next recipient of the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

“I think that if anyone has the opportunity to be on the show they should be on it,” she said. “I loved Steve Irwin’s son [Robert Irwin]. He was awesome. I met him at the Hulu Unscripted house. I’m so happy for him, he had a huge snake at the event and he is going to crush it. I have a weird feeling that maybe he’s going to win or something. I don’t know. It seems like he’s committed to the craft.”

After Nader was cast on DWTS in 2024, she and Savchenko quickly hit it off. As the season progressed, a source exclusively told Us in September 2024 that Nader and Savchenko were “hooking up.” The twosome would go on to date on and off for months.

Most recently, Nader’s sister shared dirty details of the romance, claiming that the model and Savchenko would have sex on set of DWTS and joked that the trailer would be “shaking” every time.

“I haven’t spoken to her since that interview,” Brooks quipped to Us of Grace Ann, who made the claim during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast earlier this month. “I don’t plan to speak to her ever again, maybe. Although, it’s hard because we’re filming a show together. Lemme check back in with you in a few weeks and tell you how that’s going.”

Brooks Nader Is Open to Dating Women After Gleb Savchenko Breakup

Nader and Savchenko were eliminated from DWTS in October 2024 and their whirlwind romance officially came to an end in April.

“I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship,” Savchenko said at the time. “The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”

Since their split, Nader noted that she’s looking for a new partner — whether that’s a man or woman.

“Maybe it’s a Mr., maybe it’s Mrs., I don’t even know. Who knows?” Nader shared with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. “My sister keeps telling me I gotta switch teams. She’s over me with the guys.”

Inside Amy Duggar's Life After TLC Stardom

Amy Duggar King lives a quieter life compared to her reality TV days.

Amy, 38, is the sole daughter of Jim Bob Duggar’s sister, Deanna Duggar, and Terry Jordan. She was featured on 19 Kids and Counting alongside her cousins when the show premiered in 2008.

Throughout her time on the TLC series, Amy — who did not grow up with the same customs as her cousins — was best known for sharing her disapproval of the rules the Duggars had to follow — including their courtship rituals.

“I would probably ditch my chaperone,” Amy said to Jim Bob during an early episode of 19 Kids and Counting. “You don’t want me to be [your kids’] chaperone. I will pretty much let them do whatever. Come on now! I’m pretty sure you and Aunt Michelle were not like that when you were younger. I’m pretty sure they kissed before they were married.”

Jinger Duggar Makes Rare Comment About Growing Up With Cousin Amy

During a 2014 special episode of 19 Kids and Counting, Amy shared that she was going to Nashville to pursue a music career. Despite having musical aspirations, Amy ultimately opted not to proceed with her dreams.

The following year, 19 Kids and Counting came to an end after 10 seasons. Following the show’s final episodes, Amy tied the knot with husband Dillon King in September 2015. The couple welcomed son Daxton in October 2019.

After the 19 Kids and Counting came to an end, a spinoff titled Counting On was greenlit by TLC. The new show followed the lives of the older Duggar kids as they started their own families. Amy made multiple appearances on the spinoff, which aired for 11 seasons.

Since the Duggar family’s time on TLC ended, Amy has focused on her family. She’s given fans an inside look of her life via social media. She also shared that she has kept in touch with her cousins as they all forge their own paths.

“I think we are all just trying to find our path and we’re all just doing things differently,” Amy told Entertainment Tonight in July 2020. “I’m doing things differently, and I’m happy where I’m at. I’m happy for them. Things are definitely different, but I’m happy for everybody. I’m in a good place and I wish my family all the best. I have freedom and it is wonderful.”

Earlier this year, Amy revealed that Dillion was diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture. Amy explained in an April interview with People that the condition is “an extremely rare and dangerous condition that has caused vital organs, including his kidney and parts of his digestive system, to shift into his chest cavity.”

“Doctors have made it clear that this is not a quick fix,” Amy told the outlet. “The risks are high, the procedures complex and the recovery uncertain. We are taking this one moment at a time, clinging to hope, prayer and the wisdom of the medical teams who are now walking this road with us.”

Later that month, Amy gave an update on how Dillion was faring when a fan inquired about his health scare via social media.

“He’s taking it easy! Still in pain but you’d never know from this photo!” she replied to a fan via Instagram. “There’s just SO much sitting and relaxing one can do before you start to get a lil stir crazy. He isn’t the type to stay down!”

Amy Duggar earned a reputation as the rebellious cousin throughout her extended family’s tenure on 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On.

Amy is the only child of Terry Jordan and Deanna Duggar, whose brother, Jim Bob Duggar, shares 19 children with wife Michelle Duggar. When the former politician and Michelle’s first reality series debuted in 2008, Amy and her parents would frequently make appearances — and showed how their lifestyle differed from that of their conservative relatives.

Viewed as the “black sheep” of the Duggar clan, Amy was often outspoken about her uncle’s strict rules for his children, from eldest son Josh Duggar to youngest daughter Josie. During an early episode of 19 Kids and Counting, Amy called out Jim Bob’s expectations for chaperoned courtship.

“I would probably ditch my chaperone,” she told the cameras before turning to the real estate agent. “You don’t want me to be [your kids’] chaperone. I will pretty much let them do whatever.”
