Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for Invincible Season 4 Episode 5.

It’s not controversial to say that last week’s episode of Invincible wasn’t one of its best. We saw Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) take an unwanted trip down to Hell to help Damien Darkblood (Clancy Brown) and his father, Satan (Bruce Campbell), defeat Volcanikka (Indira Varma). However, it did end with some pretty major cliffhangers. After getting his yellow-and-blue suit back, Mark receives a visit from Nolan (J.K. Simmons) and Allen (Seth Rogen), requesting his aid. While “Hurm” was one of the series’ weakest installments, “Give Us a Moment” is one of its most intense and emotional to date.

Nolan Finally Talks With Debbie in ‘Invincible’ Season 4 Episode 5

Episode 5 begins mere minutes after last week’s cliffhanger. As Eve (Gillian Jacobs) and Allen converse on the Graysons’ rooftop, Nolan and Mark have an awkward father-son reunion. Nolan is trying his best to show Mark that he’s truly changed, saying that while he’s full of regret about the Viltrum breeding plot, Mark was the one good thing to come out of it. Mark is still not having it, angry that Nolan has once again lied to him. Knowing that there’s not much time left, Nolan makes a last-ditch attempt to persuade Mark, telling him that the entire Coalition is aligned and that they’ll embark on their two-week trip to Talescria in the morning.

As Mark takes his time to make his final decision, Nolan finally attempts to apologize to Debbie (Sandra Oh). Mark warns Nolan that it will not go well, telling him, “Who is the apology for, her or yourself?” Nolan approaches the front door, but nearly walks away until Debbie opens it. She remains silent as Nolan tries to explain himself by saying, “I did the unspeakable… twice. I didn’t want Mark to get his powers. 20 years with you made me human. I’m sorry for it. I will spend the rest of my life trying to repair the damage I did.”

Debbie finally speaks, telling her ex-husband that his apology is “bullshit” and that, no matter how hard he tries, nothing he can do or say will repair the damage he caused. Nolan continues to try to explain himself, even going as far as to say that his romantic fling with Andressa (Rhea Seehorn) was a mistake. This only enrages Debbie more, and she punches Nolan in the chest, hurting her wrist. Hysterical, she demands that Nolan leave and never come back.

Mark and Oliver Leave Earth in ‘Invincible’ Season 4 Episode 5

After being teased in Episode 2, Tech Jacket (Zoey Deutch) finally makes her debut. Yes, her. In the series, Tech Jacket is actually a teenage girl named Zoe Thompson, who works alongside her father, Ed (Bobby Moynihan), in defending the planet. Allen meets with Zoe and Ed, recruiting the former to join the Coalition of Planets. With her father’s approval, she agrees to join in the fight. Mark has also made his decision to join his father and Allen in the war, telling Debbie that this isn’t about Nolan; it’s about protecting the universe.

Angered that Nolan didn’t even visit him, Oliver (Christian Convery) tells Mark and Debbie that he is coming too. Shocked, Debbie and Mark immediately tell him no. Oliver explains that he wasn’t there for his real mom and that he needs to fight for Debbie, and nobody will stop him. Debbie finally agrees to let Oliver tag along, but requests that he, Mark, Eve, and Paul (Cliff Curtis) have one last family dinner with her. While his wife and sons share a melancholy meal, Nolan visits Art (Mark Hamill), and the two have some beers while catching up with one another. Nolan admits that he is happy for Debbie before apologizing to Art. He then asks Art to fix his suit, but Art rejects him, saying that he “only dresses heroes.” The two share an awkward goodbye, Nolan flies off, and Art lets out a big sigh of relief.

‘Invincible’ Season 4 Stars Officially Confirm Dark Turn for Mark and Eve

Steven Yeun and Gillian Jacobs tease the internal turmoil and conflict Mark and Eve will face in Season 4 of Invincible.

That night, Mark and Eve talk in bed, reminiscing on how they first met, as well as their belief that Robot (Ross Marquand/Zachary Quinto) and Monster Girl (Grey Griffin/Kevin Michael Richardson) will soon find their way home. Mark then asks Eve what it was she wanted to tell him before Nolan and Allen arrived, but she brushes the question off. In the morning, Mark bids farewell to Debbie, Eve, and Paul. Nolan is frustrated by Oliver’s insistence on joining the battle, but the young superhero stands firm on his decision. Alongside Tech Jacket, Mark, Oliver, Nolan, and Allen board the Venture and leave Earth. At the GPA headquarters, Cecil (Walton Goggins) and Donald (Chris Diamantopoulos) watch the liftoff, noting that for the first time in 20 years, the planet is Viltrumite-free. (Given how many times Mark has already left Earth in the past three seasons, that isn’t entirely true.)

Conquest Meets His Bloody End in ‘Invincible’ Season 4 Episode 5

On the ship, Oliver continues to give Nolan the cold shoulder, much to his dismay. Allen notices that Nolan is in a funk and expresses his concern to Mark, who tells him that Nolan expected Debbie to be happier and has realized that he has let Oliver down. Their conversation is interrupted when Conquest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and a Viltrumite gunship attack the Venture. Mark and Allen frantically search for Oliver and Nolan, finding the former barely conscious.

Conquest swoops in and begins crushing Oliver’s skull, and Nolan rescues him, ordering him to seek shelter on a nearby planet. Conquest begins taunting Mark about Eve, which only enrages him further. Nolan orders Tech Jacket, Allen, and the others to get to safety, and flies down to the nearby planet to save Mark and Oliver. Mark and Conquest continue to fight, which culminates in the bloodthirsty Viltrumite overpowering our hero. While on the ground, Mark begins choking Conquest, who then proceeds to punch a hole in Mark’s chest to rip out his organs. It’s one of the most graphic and upsetting scenes in the series. Mark is finally able to suffocate Conquest, but the damage to his body has already been done, and he collapses, near death. Nolan and Oliver are shocked when they discover a bloodied and withering Mark next to Conquest’s corpse.

Episode 5 ends with Telia (Tatiana Maslany) updating Thaedus (Peter Cullen) about the attack, informing him that she had no choice but to leave the team behind. Thaedus doesn’t seem too concerned, telling her that she made the correct decision in fleeing. In the post-credits scene, two Viltrumites stress that Thragg (Lee Pace) won’t be happy that Nolan and Mark have gotten away. It’s then revealed that Allen and Tech Jacket are hiding in an escape pod in the lower decks of the Viltrumite gunship.

“Give Us a Moment” is a lot, but after last week’s lackluster episode, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s easy to forgive some of this season’s weaknesses, as this week’s episode is one of the best in the series. Not only does it feature several emotional character moments for all four members of the Grayson family, but it also convincingly confirms that the stakes have never been higher. Mark’s climactic fight with Conquest is brutal, but it’s also vital. We’ve seen Mark beaten badly before, but this is on a whole new level. It’s safe to say that Invincible Season 4 is now fully back on track.

Bold and the Beautiful explodes as Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is getting suspicious and starting to put the pieces together this week. So, it’s not going to be long before she finds out Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) was in bed with her husband, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan).

And when Sheila is hurt and furious and ready to retaliate, we’re wondering if she will shock the fans and respond in a way that nobody saw coming. We’re going to dig into what would be the soapiest twist that would stun Taylor and Deacon and everybody.

Sheila Reverts to Old Habits This Week on Bold and the Beautiful

So, by the end of this week, according to B&B spoilers, Sheila is going to revert to her old habits, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s going to get murdery. She has worked really hard to change her life after she got that release from prison that she wasn’t expecting, and she wanted to prove to Deacon that she’d changed. And Sheila may be pressed to see that she can’t behave like she used to.

So, this week we already saw Sheila nearly catch Deacon in bed with Taylor. Honestly, it’s insane that Sheila was creeping into Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) house while she was out of town, coming in the back door. That sort of stalking is one of Sheila’s old habits, and it’s insane. She came to bring Taylor flowers, then heard noises after creeping in the back door of a house that Sheila knows she’s not allowed to be in.

Sheila’s Bizarre Reaction on B&B

And then it got crazier. Why was Sheila’s first thought when she heard music and moaning that somebody’s hurting Taylor? Right? All these assumptions. To me, it’s not the best writing. But Sheila burst into Taylor’s room with that butcher knife, waving it around, ready to protect Taylor. Thankfully, Deacon jumped off the balcony and into the shrubbery before Sheila saw her husband.

And then Taylor panicked, thinking Sheila was going to kill her. You know, Taylor was scared that Sheila had somehow spotted Deacon. And then Sheila decided that Taylor was having some, you know, lady me time. And Sheila even admired how all out Taylor went with the candles and whatnot to do some self-pleasuring. It was just all so cringy.

Sheila then recommended some audio books to Taylor. It was all embarrassing. So, she threw on a robe and was shoving Sheila out of the house, just telling her, “Go, go, go.” Taylor reminded Sheila that she’s not supposed to be there. Taylor said, “If Steffy was home, her daughter would have called the cops on Sheila.” And then Taylor told Sheila, “Leave and don’t you ever come back to the house.”

The Il Giardino Pizza Box Clue

But as Taylor was kicking her out, Sheila noticed the Il Giardino pizza box and that was what started her wheels turning. That was also insane because that is Finn (Tanner Novlan) and the kids’ favorite place to pick up pizza from. They do it all the time. And for all Sheila knows, it could have been from earlier in the day before Steffy and Finn left with the kids.

I don’t think a pizza box is a sign of cheating since there’s probably pizza boxes from Il Giardino in that house, you know, at least once a week. But that was what inspired Sheila to start thinking. And then when she got back to Il Giardino, she asked an employee if he’d seen Deacon, and he hadn’t. At that point, why didn’t Sheila pick up her phone and call Deacon instead? Sheila paced around downstairs till closing time.

Then she finally went upstairs and Deacon was on the sofa pretending to be asleep. And honestly, he’d been there for quite some time. So, on the next episode, we have Sheila telling Deacon that she went over to Steffy’s to bring Taylor flowers and she thought somebody was assaulting her. And Sheila says she thought Taylor was in danger, so she grabbed a butcher knife and went upstairs.

And then Sheila tells Deacon he’ll never guess what she walked in on. And of course, he’s playing dumb, but he’s also probably terrified that Sheila caught a glimpse of him. And it certainly was a really close call. But it seems like Sheila is in a way testing Deacon to see how he reacts, to see what he says.

Hope and Liam’s Phone Call May Be a Big Clue on Bold

Other spoilers for this week say that Sheila’s suspicions grow and that she’s putting everything together. And one thing that might trip them up ties to a phone call between Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). There was no reason in another storyline for this phone call. And that’s why I think it’s a big hint. So, he called to ask Hope what she wanted for dinner. And then Liam said he’d grab something and bring it home.

And that phone call might have actually been important. So, Hope’s supposed to be out to dinner with Deacon. That’s the alibi he gave Sheila. But if Liam went over to pick out takeout from Il Giardino, that’s another sign, another red flag. So, Sheila might notice a receipt from Liam’s purchase or one of the servers may mention that Deacon’s son-in-law picked up dinner. That’s a big red flag.

What If Sheila Doesn’t Go Psycho on Bold and the Beautiful?

So then there’s the spoiler about Sheila reverting back to her old ways or you know so it seems. But if she starts to go psycho, I think Deacon might tell Sheila, “You got to dial it back or you’re going to wind up in prison for the rest of your life and if you hurt Taylor, I will hate you.” I think Deacon could say something like that to her.

And from there, it’d be really wild if instead of trying to kill Taylor, we have Sheila doing something unexpected on Bold and the Beautiful. Remember that old Dolly Parton song, Jolene? If you don’t know the song, it’s Dolly singing about this beautiful woman who has been fooling around with another woman’s guy and then she’s begging Jolene, “Please don’t take my man. Please don’t take him just because you can.”

B&B Shocker: Sheila Falls Apart?

So, I’m wondering if we get a twist and Sheila shows up at first acting scary and confrontational and of course Taylor would be terrified she’s going to kill her for fooling around with Deacon. And then surprisingly, we could see Sheila break down. Literally get down on her knees and begs Taylor, “Please don’t take Deacon away from me. He’s all I have.” Which is true. Sheila’s got no family that’ll give her the time of day. She’s the town pariah.

And aside from Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), everybody either hates Sheila, is scared of her, or both. And nobody wants her around. And I mean, it’s one thing for Taylor to steal Deacon from Sheila the Psycho, but another for Taylor to steal Deacon from this heartbroken woman who’s begging Taylor to please don’t take her man. Because that’s another thing entirely. It is cruel and she’s not a cruel person. Taylor isn’t.

Sheila Could Remind Taylor She Violated Professional Ethics

So, Sheila may remind Taylor that Deacon was really struggling when he started therapy with her. And Sheila might try to make Taylor see how inappropriate it was for her to get involved with Deacon when he was in that vulnerable state because let’s be real, it was totally inappropriate and Sheila might literally beg Taylor, don’t take Deacon, please.

I think that would be such a huge twist because everybody expects Sheila to go homicidal on Taylor and maybe on Deacon, too. And Steffy’s so worried because of how dangerous and crazy Sheila is. So, I think it would be really interesting and actually refreshing if instead of proving Steffy right, we could see Sheila actually prove that she’s changed.

And maybe she doesn’t get murdery with Taylor, but begs her instead to not do this. I mean, how can she refuse Sheila, begging her for compassion? I think Taylor would be in a tough position of being selfish and stealing Sheila’s husband on top of Taylor violating her professional oath, or, you know, she could do the right thing and turn her back on Deacon. I think it would be a really cool twist and I’m really hoping to see it go this way instead of Sheila doing the same old things she always does.

And I think it would be interesting to see Taylor have this reality check that she is the villainess of this story. You know, this is not Romeo and Juliet. This is a bad person taking a woman’s husband. You know, Sheila is not the villain here. It is Taylor. And that would be, I think, game-changing and an amazing plot twist.

“Summer House” stars are reacting to the news of West Wilson and Amanda Batula‘s surprising romance, and it’s safe to say that many are not here for it.

On Tuesday, March 31, Wilson and Batula released a joint statement about the status of their relationship, confirming the rumors swirling that they’d been secretly dating.

In addition to “Summer House” stars such as KJ Dillard and Lindsay Hubbard speaking out about the latest developments, Bravo enthusiasts are chiming in as well.

‘Summer House’ Star KJ Dillard Appears To Shade ‘Back Stabbers’ West Wilson, Amanda Batula, Following Confirmation Of Their Nefarious Relationship

Dillard is the newest cast member to join Bravo’s “Summer House,” but he seems to be the one with the most to say about the latest happenings with his friend, Wilson, and his new flame, Batula.

Dillard, who, according to Bravo’s Daily Dish, was born in Arizona and raised in Kansas City, appeared to slam the two of them with a shady post to his Instagram Stories.

The snap was a screenshot of the popular song “Back Stabbers” by the group The O’Jays. “Logging off…” he captioned the moment.

In another post, Dillard shared an image of himself during a previous “Summer House” episode with Ciara Miller and fellow newcomer Mia Calabrese.

“I love my big sisters for life,” he wrote.

Wilson, Batula Confirm Relationship

Dillard’s post comes hours after Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship following weeks of speculation.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” their joint post read. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

The post continued, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

The pair went on to say that they wanted to approach their new relationship with caution, adding that they recognize the impact it would have on their cast mates, Miller (Batula’s friend who dated Wilson) and Kyle Cooke (Batula’s soon-to-be ex-husband).

“We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this,” the statement concluded.

Wilson Previously Denied Anything Going On Between Him And His ‘Summer House’ Co-Star

The news of Batula and Wilson’s connection has surprised many, given that Wilson previously denied the rumors on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live,” according to PEOPLE.

“We were just hanging out in New York. She’s single, I gotta show her the streets a little bit,” he said on a recent episode. “But if it’s not clear, that’s a very important person to me, and I care about her a lot.”

Cooke, who announced his separation from Batula in January 2026, too, commented on the speculation earlier this month, calling the rumors “kinda shocking” and “outrageous.”

“It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless, and I think I’d probably be the last person people would be worried about. I think Ciara would probably have something to say,” he said.

Miller Unfollows Batula And Wilson

Dillard isn’t the only Bravo cast member reacting to the news.

Jesse Solomon shared an image of himself with a shocked reaction on his face on his Instagram Stories, while Venita Aspen from “Southern Charm” wrote, “Imagine making a statement hard launching a ‘connection’ and not even considering apologizing to the person you hurt. But I guess that tracks.”

While Miller hasn’t issued an official statement, the reality star did unfollow both Wilson and Batula, seemingly making her stance on a future relationship with them clear.

Fans Slam Wilson And Batula Following ‘Summer House’ Scandal

Netizens are also tearing into Wilson and Batula on different forums.

“Can you imagine posting a joint statement with a situationship not three months after a joint statement with your husband?? We don’t need a #SummerHouse reunion, we need an exorcism,” an X user wrote.

“Lmaoo I cannot believe this is real life,” another user said. “Amanda is such a loser omg.”

“It genuinely fills me with rage,” said a third. “He hides behind this ‘liberal king’ sh-t when he’s a bottom of the barrel loser. He wanted to know what it was like to be with a black girl without any of the commitment and then also cries because people call out the racist undertones. He’s OVER.”

Brittni Mealy is reportedly seeking a court order holding her son’s father, Future, in contempt. A TMZ report says the rapper failed to comply with an agreement regarding a life insurance policy. Now, she allegedly wants him behind bars. As social media users chat about the report, Brittni slid on her socials to promote her long-term project, her book.

Report Says Future Did Not Create Life Insurance Policy Benefitting His Son

Brittni and Future reportedly share a 12-year-old son named Prince. Reportedly, Future was ordered in 2023 to create a $500,000 life insurance policy naming Brittni as the trustee for Prince. In a new court filing, Mealy says Future did not comply and that she’d like him held in contempt, per TMZ. Additionally, the report says Mealy wants the rapper incarcerated until the life insurance policy is in place. The father of at least eight kids has yet to react to the report. His 2023 court history with Brittni Mealy reportedly includes a child support increase from $3,000 to $5,000 a month.

Brittni Mealy Is Focused On Her Book

Mealy told her fans on Tuesday that her book is more than a recap of her days as a midnight ballerina or men from her past. Whether Future will be mentioned is still unclear. Her book, she says, is for the “women who’ve been through things” and didn’t get to process or are still in it. Brittni is calling her story ‘Truth Be Told,’ the same name she used when she shared it on TikTok two years ago.

“I really feel like the life I deserve is on the other side of these pages. Not just material things… but peace, release, clarity. This book is therapy for me. It’s me grieving, venting, processing things I probably pushed past,” Brittni wrote.

In the 2010s, the CW launched its “Dare to Defy” slogan, highlighting that its programming would be unlike any other on network television. That was especially true of its slate of DC Comics shows, which included Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl. However, the crown jewel of CW’s slate would debut in 2016 with DC’s Legends of Tomorrow​​​​​​. Over seven seasons, Legends of Tomorrow grew from a mere superhero show to a time-traveling space opera full of heart, humor, and a cast of characters you couldn’t help but love, even when they screwed up — which happened more than often.

Spinning out of a crossover between Arrow and The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow saw the Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) recruiting characters from both shows to fight the immortal warlord Vandal Savage (Casper Crump). Eventually, the self-proclaimed “Legends” start defending the space-time continuum from all manner of threats, using a combination of superpowers, quick thinking, and a willingness to bend or outright break the rules. What really helped Legends take the top spot in the CW’s lineup was its willingness to venture into the weirdest of territories, helping it stand apart from its other comic book counterparts.

‘Legends of Tomorrow’ Thrived on Change

Image via The CW

Legends of Tomorrow didn’t quite impress viewers or critics with its debut season, as many found the sprawling cast of characters and time-travel elements too much to follow. The creators took that to heart, with each subsequent season featuring changes in the cast and the threats the Legends faced​​​​​. While he originally started out as the leader, Rip Hunter would eventually cede control to Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), aka the White Canary. Other DC heroes, including Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) and John Constantine (Matt Ryan), joined the Legends on board their ship, the Waverider. Co-creator/showrunner Phil Klemmer summed up Legends‘ approach when discussing how Season 2 would change from Season 1:

“We’re coming at it from a completely different angle. We’re determined to make every part of season two feel like its own show…The team will basically have to find a new purpose. Once you save the world, what do you do then? The interesting thing about season two is I think it’s going to have a much, much different tone because our Legends are going to have a totally different purpose. They’re actually going to have a totally different constitution. There will be new faces and new everything.”

The episode that best embodies Legends of Tomorrow‘s shift from superhero show to comedic sci-fi romp is Season 3’s “Beebo the God of War,” which finds the Legends trying to stop Vikings from worshiping a popular stuffed toy named Beebo. Beebo exemplifies the blend of the ridiculous, heartfelt, and heroic that would come to define Legends; the very idea of Vikings treating a children’s doll like a god is extremely laughable, and this is coming from a show where a psychic gorilla tries to kill a young Barack Obama. Yet it also provided emotional catharsis for longtime legend Jax Jefferson (Franz Drameh), as he came face-to-face with a younger Martin Stein, who previously merged with Jax to form the nuclear-powered hero Firestorm. Given that Jax had to watch present-day Stein (Victor Garber) die during the Crisis on Earth-X crossover, it emotionally hit fans when they least expected it.

‘Legends of Tomorrow’ Would Have Brought in a Fan-Favorite DC Hero Before It Was Canceled

Legends of Tomorrow took its wildest swing in Season 7, where the Waverider was destroyed by a mysterious force, stranding the Legends in 1925 Texas. In their quest to get back home, they encounter a mysterious man named “Mike” (Donald Faison) who gets them arrested by the organization known as the Time Police. Sadly, the series was canceled on that cliffhanger, which stung even more when Phil Klemmer revealed that “Mike” was actually Michael Jon Carter, the time-traveling hero known as Booster Gold! Given his own penchant for being a screw-up and Faison’s comedic talents, Booster would have made a perfect addition to the Legends.

Though Booster Gold won’t be appearing on Legends of Tomorrow, he’s slated to get his own television show in the future. David Jenkins will be penning the pilot, and hopefully, he will take lessons from Legends of Tomorrow ​​​​​​on how to portray the hero. A decade after it went off the air, Legends of Tomorrow still remains a truly unique entry in the superhero genre.

An adult novelty chocolate brand has reportedly been recalled due to “life-threatening” levels of Viagra ingredients.

RELATED: Say WHAT?! FDA Raises Cheese Recall To Highest Danger Level Following Reported Listeria Discovery (VIDEO)

Adult Novelty Chocolate Reportedly Recalled Due To “Life-Threatening” Levels Of Viagra Ingredients

On Thursday, March 26, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released an announcement asserting that on March 19, Gear Isle voluntarily recalled a lot of the Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate Sachet and a lot of the ilum Sex Chocolate. Pet the release, the FDA asserted that “undeclared active ingredients” of “sildenafil and tadalafil,” often found in Viagra and other pills that treat erectile dysfunction, “may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs… and… cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening.”

“Among the adult male population who are most likely to use these products, adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk from these products,” the release added.

More On The Recall Of The Adult Novelty Chocolate & “Life-Threatening” Viagra Levels

Furthermore, the release noted that at this time, adverse effects on the chocolate lots have not been reported. However, it should be noted that the bars “were distributed nationwide via internet sales.”

“Gear Isle is notifying its customers by notification letter and is arranging for returns and refunds of all recalled products. Consumers who have the product(s) (see table) that are being recalled should stop using them and return them for a refund,” the release added.

Frozen Chicken Breasts Also Faced A Recent Recall

As The Shade Room previously reported, in January, frozen chicken breasts were also recalled in multiple states. Furthermore, it was reported that Suzanna’s Kitchen issued a recall “for ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast fillets.” This, reportedly, because a third-party lab noticed the presence of “Listeria monocytogenes” in the food item. Ultimately, the food was determined to have been distributed in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio.

The drama around Nicole Kidman‘s connection with her “Scarpetta” co-star Simon Baker is heating up.

The two raised eyebrows when they arrived at the premiere of their latest project, holding hands, and further fueled speculation about their connection after reports revealed they attended an after-party together.

Now, reports have revealed alleged details of what Simon Baker’s ex-wife, Rebecca Rigg, thinks of the situation, especially as the duo has evaded questions about their status.

Nicole Kidman’s Co-Star’s Ex-Wife Was Reportedly Surprised By The Romance Rumors

Despite still being fresh off her divorce, Nicole Kidman has sparked rumors of a romance with Simon Baker, her friend of many years and co-star in the new sci-fi project “Scarpetta.”

At the premiere of the project, the two walked in with hands intertwined and looked very chummy as they posed for the cameras on the red carpet. They reportedly also spent the rest of the night at an after-party, where they appeared to be enjoying each other’s company.

While some have rooted for the connection blossoming into something more, Baker’s ex-wife, Rebecca Rigg, is said to be shocked that the duo is even being linked, as she was “totally in the dark.”

According to a source who spoke to New Idea, her surprise stems from how Rigg maintained a “transparent” relationship with her ex-husband over the past few years, as well as her own closeness to Kidman, who is the godmother of their son, Harry.

Rigg’s friends are also said to share her surprise, but also think any such romantic move is “pretty insensitive,” given Kidman is like family.

“For Nicole to act all coy is really breaking the girl code,” the insider further remarked.

The Actress’ Husband Felt Betrayed By Her Rumored Romance With Simon Baker

Just like Riggs, Kidman’s ex-husband, Keith Urban, was also reported to have had an intense reaction to the pictures of the actress and her male co-star from the premiere.

According to a Woman’s Day source, the singer was left feeling “betrayed” and hoped the public show of closeness between the duo was all a ploy to promote their new project.

However, the connection didn’t surprise him, as he had long since suspected they were getting closer since they began filming. Still, he remains deeply unhappy about the situation.

“He already suspected they were getting close while filming. This is his worst nightmare come true,” the insider shared.

“He hates that they’re giving interviews about how close they are,” the source added.

Nicole Kidman And Simon Baker Have Gushed About Themselves In Interviews

Amid the situation, it hasn’t helped that Kidman and Baker have been openly gushing about each other in interviews.

One moment that stood out was an interview in which the duo discussed kissing on the set of “Scarpetta.”

“Yeah, it’s kind of strange. I think the first time we did it, we both sort of went, ‘Okay, whatever,” Baker said of the kiss, per the Daily Telegraph.

To which Kidman responded with, “I didn’t find it weird.”

She added, “But we’ve kissed on the cheek before. We’ve hugged a lot. We’ve lived in the same house…”

The actress, who has been friends with Baker for years, also explained why they shared so much on-screen chemistry.

“I think because of our history together, that’s in-built, so we didn’t have to work for that, that just vibrates,” she said.

Nicole Kidman’s Friend Naomi Watts Allegedly Wants Her To Begin A Romance With Simon Baker

While neither Kidman nor Baker has addressed their romance rumors, a close friend, Naomi Watts, is reportedly rooting for the duo to step things up and become a couple.

“Simon’s always been a good friend of Nicole’s – she and Naomi are both godmothers to his kids – but it’s always been a strictly platonic friendship,” a source told Woman’s Day.

According to the insider, Watts knows that despite the initial platonic nature of his connection with Kidman, he would “drop everything and everyone to hook up with” the actress.

However, Kidman’s recent divorce from Urban remains an obstacle, as Watts is aware that her friend is still very much in the healing stage.

There is also the issue of Kidman allegedly being too hesitant to make a romantic move that could risk her long-term friendship with Baker.

The Actress And Her Ex-Husband No Longer Communicate

As part of Kidman and Urban’s divorce agreement, the duo reportedly agreed to co-parent their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith.

However, according to the Daily Mail, the communication between the former couple has deteriorated significantly, which may impact their co-parenting.

“Nicole and Keith don’t really communicate,” a source said. “Things got really bad at the end of their relationship and haven’t rebounded.”

They added, “Keith seems to really want to live the single life, almost like a midlife crisis since the split. He’s turned into a totally different person. It’s like she doesn’t know him at all anymore.”
