What Has Harrison Ford ‘Terribly Concerned’ At Age 83
Actor Harrison Ford has been in the entertainment industry for decades. Best known for his roles in “Indiana Jones and “Star Wars,” the 83-year-old actor has been best known for his movie roles until recently. Over the past several years, he has starred alongside Helen Mirren in the “Yellowstone” spin-off “1923” and opposite Jason Segel in “Shrinking,” where he plays a psychiatrist diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Following the season 3 finale, Ford reflected on his start in Hollywood and the current state of the entertainment industry.
Harrison Ford Reflects On The ‘Fulfilling’ Nature Of Filming ‘Shrinking’
Following the season 3 finale, which sees his character retire and move to Connecticut, Ford opened up on the “serious sh-t” the show covers in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.
Throughout the season, Ford shared several scenes with Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. “Here I am now, playing a guy with Parkinson’s, and I’m sitting next to Michael J. Fox,” Ford said. “This is serious sh-t, man. This is not insignificant for me.”
“I find it really fulfilling doing what I do, and I enjoy it as much as I ever, ever could possibly have imagined,” he continued. However, he admitted that he “never thought” that he would be filming a TV show, let alone a comedy.
Harrison Ford Reveals What Makes His Job ‘Fun’
Even though he never expected to be starring in a comedy series, he did say that the work is “fun” for him.
“You work faster, and that’s fun for me,” he explained. “I like getting there, getting the work done and going home. I love the challenge. I love the danger, if you will, of the work that I’m able to do. And I like the company.”
He went on to explain that he “always wanted to be a character actor,” adding, “I had never thought that I would be a leading man … I got to play leading parts because the films I was in had success, and that success carried me along.”
Ford Is ‘Concerned’ About The Future Of Hollywood
Even though he has been in many successful blockbusters, Ford admitted that he is “terribly concerned” about the future of the entertainment industry.
“I came up at a period of time when the movie business was at its zenith, when the movie business captured the zeitgeist of a culture, and there was a transference, a cross-feeding, and the culture captured the zeitgeist of the movies,” he explained. “There is no zeitgeist anymore.”
“We’ve been disassociated. We’ve been purposefully disaggregated into serviceable political economic units,” he continued. “There is an empty center that needs to be filled, to bring the culture back together, to bring the culture and the movie business back together, for the movie business to be useful in the consciousness of an audience, a culture, a community.”
Harrison Ford’s Depression Launched His Acting Career
Before he became a household name, Ford recalled living in a single room in college and rarely venturing out. “I would get up out of my single bed, go to a phone, order a pizza, go back and lay down in bed until the pizza came,” he recalled. “I would eat the pizza, throw the wrappers in the corner, go back to sleep.”
Things changed when he took a class called “Drama” without reading the full description. He was interested in analyzing plays, but he didn’t realize he also had to act in them. Although it was a “surprise,” he realized that he actually “found [his] place” through the class.
“I’d never done anything like that,” Ford admitted. “And I was surprised that the people that I had considered to be fellow geeks and misfits were, in fact, some of the most interesting people I knew. They were doing something that I hadn’t really understood, and they were telling stories about life, and some of them were exceptional in their capacity to understand human behavior. And so I think I simply found my place amongst storytellers. It really changed my world, changed my life.”
Ford Is ‘Really Good’ At Improv, Says ‘Shrinking’ Costar
In a June 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, costar Jason Segel revealed that his “Shrinking” costar is actually “really, really good” at improv.
“With Harrison Ford, there was a moment when I saw him register and was like, ‘Oh, we’re doing this now.’ And he was good at it. He’s really, really good at it,” Segel said. “There was a whole potato run, where I end up eating these potatoes. [He said] ‘Do whatever you want with them. Boil them, bake them.’ That was a riff that came out of his mouth. He is really smart, he’s really funny and he really understands acting.”
“There’s a reason he’s Harrison Ford,” he added.
All three seasons of “Shrinking” are available on Apple TV+. The show has been renewed for a fourth season, with the main cast set to return.

New York City’s Greenwich Village wasn’t prepared for the sudden arrival of Bob Dylan. Originally raised in the iron-mining town of Hibbing, Dylan had a firsthand account of what it was like living as part of the working class. However, his lofty musical ambitions, though seemingly unreachable for a small-town guy, literally drove him to New York on a 20-hour road trip. Following his move in 1961, it took only a year for Dylan to be signed under the wing of John Hammond at Columbia Records, which was followed by his self-titled debut album in 1962.
Although his rise to superstardom was meteoric, Dylan made it a point to never forget the people who were part of his humble roots. Growing up in a time when racial tensions were still at an all-time high, something in Dylan prompted him to speak up on these issues, best expressed through the one thing he knew how to use: folk music. One song in particular hits especially hard, even raising some hairs on a certain listener who had nothing but vulgarities to throw his way.
Bob Dylan Wrote “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” Based on a Racially-Motivated Murder Case
Leave it to Dylan to write a song based on an actual murder. His 1964 track, “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” recounts the killing of Hattie Caroll, a 51-year-old African-American bartender, by William Devereux “Billy” Zantzinger, a 24-year-old from a wealthy white tobacco farming family in Maryland. On February 9, 1963, Caroll was fatally assaulted at a Baltimore hotel. That night, Zantzinger reportedly arrived drunk at a whites-only elite ball, where he repeatedly used racial slurs and physically assaulted staff. The attack on Caroll occurred when he struck her with a metal-tipped cane, causing her to collapse and die from a brain hemorrhage hours later.
Who’s Your Perfect Classic Rock Band?
However, it was not until August 29, 1963, that Dylan came across news of Carroll in The Baltimore Sun. Carroll’s case was one of two civil rights highlights in that edition, the first being Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C., while Carroll’s case appeared as a brief item on the last page of the first section. Dylan went on to record “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” on October 23, 1963. The song was written partly at the home of Joan Baez and was later released on January 13, 1964, on his third studio album, The Times They Are a-Changin’.
William Zantzinger Is Not Happy with Bob Dylan’s Song
“The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” provides a line-by-line description of how the assault went down. Apart from the obvious details, such as the names of those involved, the murder weapon used, and where the assault took place, the song also shows the class divide between Carroll and Zantzinger. Zantzinger is referred to as “who at 24 years owns a tobacco farm of 600 acres,” which speaks to the extent of his wealth. Meanwhile, Carroll is described as the one “who carried the dishes and took out the garbage.”
3 Near-Perfect Classic Rock Songs That Were Massive Hits But Are Forgotten Today
These three songs had huge success when they first came out, then were promptly forgotten.
However, Dylan also alters several factual details for artistic and lyrical purposes, including misspelling William Zantzinger’s name as “Zanzinger” and stating that Carroll had 10 children instead of the actual 11, likely for rhythmic reasons. The song also describes the charge as first-degree murder, whereas Zantzinger was actually convicted of manslaughter. Critics have argued that these changes and the suggestion of lenient treatment due to political connections push the song close to libel. Zantzinger himself later strongly objected when approached by a Dylan biographer, calling the singer “a no-account son of a b***h… I should have sued him and put him in jail.”
11 Years Later, Bob Dylan Wrote A Protest Song Based on Another Arrest
“The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” wouldn’t be the only time Dylan wrote about a real person’s case. In November 1975, Dylan released “Hurricane,” retelling the case of boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter. The incident took place in 1966, when Carter, alongside John Artis, was accused of a late-night shooting at Paterson’s Lafayette Bar and Grill, leaving three dead. Critics have pointed out that Carter and Artis were racially profiled. Unfortunately, the two were sentenced in 1967 to two consecutive life sentences for the triple murder.
Similar to Carroll, Dylan found out about Carter’s story when he read his autobiography, The Sixteenth Round: From Number 1 Contender to Number 45472. Naysayers might say that Dylan has a knack for taking somebody else’s tragedy and using it to make art. But remembering his determination to stand up for what’s right, his intentions have always been to defend the underdogs. His reflection from his personal visit to Carter proves it: “Was I doing my bit for Rubin? I wrote that song because it was tops in my mind; it had priority in my mind at the time to get that song done.”
Will Trent just lost a cast member after a shocking plot twist killed off a main character.
During the Tuesday, April 14, episode of the hit ABC series, Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn) died while secretly working with the FBI to find information on the Commander, who is the mysterious person linked to Adelaide Trevens (Mallory Jansen).
Adelaide told Will she had a surprise for him, which turned out to be Amanda’s body in the street. The GBI Deputy Director was dead from multiple stab wounds and that will set off a chain of events for the rest of the season.
“Amanda has been the character who has protected Will for as long as she has known him,” coshowrunner Karine Rosenthal told Variety in a statement. “So this gives us the opportunity for a completely new dynamic in the GBI, because her replacement will not have that same relationship with Will. Her death had the most impact on the most amount of characters. It really sets everybody reeling from this enormous loss. So it’s such a reset for our characters in a way that is painful but exciting for season 5.”
Rosenthal told the outlet that Sohn was made aware that her arc was coming to an end early in season 4 and she handled the news with “grace.”
“Nobody gets to always exit their shows — even on the writing side — on their own terms all the time,” executive producer Daniel Thomsen added. “It’s hard to do that with grace. So it was just very impressive. She is a total pro.”
Based on a book by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent follows a special agent at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who was abandoned at birth and grew up in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system. Will now relies on his unique perspective while pursuing justice, resulting in the highest clearance rate in the GBI.
In addition to Sohn, the show stars Ramón Rodríguez, Erika Christensen, Iantha Richardson, Jake McLaughlin and Kevin Daniels. Rodríguez, who portrays the titular character, exclusively teased to Us Weekly about what is to come.
“It is going to be a real emotional roller-coaster. It really is,” Rodríguez shared with Us in March. “There’ll be highs and definite lows. So questions will be answered.”
Rodríguez said he is excited for viewers to see how the story unfolds.
“It’s been fun seeing Will realize this new normal in his life with the new relationship with Angie and Seth. It’s been great watching them understand this new friendship territory,” he noted. “Meanwhile, he’s had Ava come in his life and give him these great gems of like, ‘Hey, not everything has to be so serious.’”
Will Trent airs on ABC Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.
The Voice’s first-ever “Battle of the Champions” has crowned a winner.
During the season 29 finale on Tuesday, April 14, Carson Daly revealed that Alexia Jayy of Adam Levine’s team received the most votes.
“There is no one more deserving of this honor,” Levine, 47, said after Jayy’s win.
In lieu of live shows with voting from viewers at home, The Voice’s in-studio audience — consisting of the NBC singing competition’s biggest fans and alums — decided the winner, as well as the Top 4 artists during the semi-finals on Monday, April 13.
The audience ultimately chose Jayy, Team Kelly Clarkson’s Mikenley Brown and Liv Ciara, and Team John Legend’s Lucas West as the Top 4.
The Voice hasn’t been the same since Kelly Clarkson’s been gone, but fans won’t have to watch the show without her much longer. In July 2025, NBC announced a special “Battle of the Champions” format change for season 29, featuring the return of Clarkson and two other past coaches. “A Voice first, the upcoming spring […]
Brown, 19, is a powerhouse singer from New Castle, Indiana, who previously competed on American Idol. She sang a captivating rendition of “I’m Not the Only One” by Sam Smith in the semi-finals.
Ciara, 16, is a singer-songwriter and high school student from St. Peters, Missouri. Her journey to the Top 4 came after she previously did not receive any chair turns when she auditioned in season 28. She opted to sing a stripped-down version of “What a Feeling” by Irene Cara in the semi-finals.
Jayy, 31, is an R&B singer from Alabama. She has been performing professionally since she was 8 years old. Jayy blew the audience away with a rendition of “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)” by Aretha Franklin in the semi-finals.
West, 20, is a singer and pianist from Fairport, New York. The SUNY Fredonia student is also known for performing the National Anthem at Buffalo Bills games. He performed Paul McCartney‘s “Maybe I’m Amazed” in the semi-finals — and the audience certainly was amazed.
Season 28 of The Voice has come to an end with a brand-new winner. During the Tuesday, December 16, episode of NBC’s competition series, host Carson Daly announced Texas A&M University student Aiden Ross from Team Niall Horan received the most votes from America. Fellow coaches Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg delivered a standing […]
The Voice season 29 marked a significant change for the reality show. Instead of the typical four coaches, Clarkson, 43, Legend, 47, and Levine returned as “all-star” coaches. Levine previously served as an original coach in seasons 1 through 16 before his exit in 2019, while Clarkson exited in 2023 after nine on-off seasons as a coach.
As for Legend, he last appeared on the show during season 27 in 2025.
The season’s “Battle of the Champions” theme featured plenty of twists, including a Triple-Turn Competition during the blind auditions, where the coach with the most three-chair turn artists won a “super steal” to use in the Battles, as well as an All-Star Showdown, where returning artists from past seasons competed on behalf of their coaches. (Clarkson won both competitions, giving her the super steal and the ability to send two artists to the finale instead of one.)
The season also brought special guests from The Voice’s past, including Jennifer Hudson, Michael Bublé and CeeLo Green.

It should come as no surprise that Meghan Markle can even make her casual, running-errands outfit look polished and chic. And we think we might know the reason why. Her secret is to pair simple basics with elevated accessories, something Markle showed off recently when she stepped out carrying maybe the most stylish tote bag we’ve ever seen.
Markle was spotted leaving a store in Montecito with some shopping bags in hand. Her laid-back look, consisting of a brown utility coat, straight-leg jeans, simple flats and a printed scarf, was cute, but it was her sleek, camel-colored bag that really caught our eye. Unfortunately, that exact Polene Cyme bag costs a little more than we’d like to spend, but we were able to find a very similar version from Walmart – and it costs less than $40.
Get the Time and Tru Tulip Tote Bag for $38 at Walmart! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
The Time and Tru Tulip Tote Bag is functional, with a minimalist style that mimics Markle’s bag. It has a similar curved silhouette and also comes in a brown shade (it’s just a little darker), with the same strap design: one set of straps is long enough to wear over your shoulder, while the other set is small enough to carry in your hand.
Meghan Markle has a knack for making classic handbags look elevated yet wearable — especially when styled with a business casual outfit. Case in point? The Duchess of Sussex was seen out at the Project Healthy Minds World Mental Health Day Festival wearing a chic $4,325 handbag that tied her whole look together. While we […]
While the Walmart version looks like it might be a little larger than Markle’s bag, that’s probably a good thing. The roomy interior makes this an excellent work bag, with two smaller pockets and one zippered pocket for organization. It’s functional but also chic, and it definitely appears to be more expensive than it is.
Shoppers agree – one reviewer noted that the bag “looks far more high-end than you might expect,” and added that the bag is “big enough to carry a large iPad and maybe a smaller laptop.” Another shopper raved, “I get so many compliments for this beautiful bag!”
Another thing shoppers love is how functional it is. “I love this bag for my work tote,” one reviewer noted. “It holds my laptop and all my stuff, long shoulder straps with a second option for carrying – stands on its own. Great value and does not look cheap for faux leather.”
With its pretty floral-inspired design, this tote bag is perfect for spring and summer – but honestly, it can be used at any time of the year. Be sure to snag one now to channel your inner Montecito mom style, just like Markle.

Alix Earle and Alex Cooper’s ongoing feud doesn’t appear to be simmering any time soon.
One day after Earle, 25, announced that she was “on it” after Cooper, 31, requested she publicly break down their mysterious conflict, Earle shared a video that captured the moment she first watched Cooper’s request.
“Shoutout to my friends for knowing I would want this moment captured,” Earle captioned the Tuesday, April 14, TikTok clip. Additional text, pasted atop the clip, further set up the scene: “If you’re wondering, this is how I was woken up the morning after Coachella.”
The video then showed two of Earle’s friends opening a bedroom door to greet a sleeping Earle with a phone poised to play Cooper’s request to “get specific … what’s the beef?”
Alex Cooper and Alix Earle seemed like the perfect duo when they initially joined forces — but the social media stars had a falling out. Cooper launched her Unwell Network in August 2023, signing Earle as her first hire. The following month, Earle’s “Hot Mess” podcast released its first episode. More than a year later, […]
One of the two friends are then seen telling a horizontal Earle, surrounded by pillows, “We have to show you a TikTok,” before Earle lifts herself up to see what’s on the screen. As Cooper’s voice is overheard in her recording, which was posted by the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host on Monday, April 13, Earle asks her friend, “Is it funny?” before continuing to tune in.
When Cooper is heard telling the camera, “What’s the beef?” Earle says, “OK” with a smile before the video cuts to her grabbing her own phone and telling her pals, “That just literally made my morning.”

Cooper made headlines on Monday when she recorded herself questioning Earle for allegedly alluding to drama between the pair by reposting a TikTok throwing shade at Cooper.
“You guys know I don’t usually address this kind of stuff because it feels like a waste of time. And honestly, it’s embarrassing to participate in this,” Cooper said in her video. “But I am obviously seeing the videos and I’m getting tagged. I see the DMs, I see the comments. So, at this point, it just feels long overdue.”
Cooper, who recorded Earle’s “Hot Mess” podcast from September 2023 to February 2025 under her Unwell Network media company, then directly addressed Earle: “Hey, girl. The passive aggressive reposts and the ‘likes’ and the commenting on things, I gotta call you out here. There’s no NDA and no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What’s the beef?” (Earle went on to launch her “Get Real With Me” series outside of the Unwell Network.)

Cooper continued, “I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s*** going online for you. Not interested. I know what happened and so do you. So talk. Unless the fake narrative that you’re creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth. I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me. Unless you actually have something to say, I’m out.”
Rumors of a rift between the pair stemmed from their work together at Unwell, and gained momentum once “Hot Mess” was dropped by the company in 2025.
At the time, Earle addressed the show’s dismissal via two TikToks. “Obviously, there’s been a lot of chatter online this week about me and work. And I also have no idea what’s going on,” Earle said in one before a second continued, “Don’t really want to get into the details of it all, and I kind of can’t get into the details of it all right now, but I’ve loved it so much, and I’m really proud of what I built with the podcast.”

Zorro Officially Returns in Swashbuckling First Look at the Iconic Western Hero’s New Series [Exclusive]
![Zorro Officially Returns in Swashbuckling First Look at the Iconic Western Hero's New Series [Exclusive]](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/zorro-jean-dujardin.jpg)
Literature’s greatest swashbuckler is back in action in the new series Zorro. In this new French series, the legendary masked man is portrayed by Jean Dujardin, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in The Artist. The series will premiere on the streaming service MHz Choice this summer, but before then, Collider has an exclusive sneak peek at an action-packed preview scene.
The clip opens on a California stockade, where Zorro has been imprisoned. However, no jail can contain Zorro, and before long he’s loose; with his trademark cunning, he locks his two jailers into his now-empty cell. Of course, he now has the rest of the garrison to deal with, but that’s no challenge for the grinning swordsman, who promptly draws his rapier and holds his foes at bay. The series centers around an older Zorro, who has put away his mask and sword to take up his late father’s responsibilities. However, he can’t resist the pull of righting wrongs and fighting injustice…and so Zorro lives once more. But what happens when Zorro and his alter ego are at odds? You’ll have to find out on June 30, when Zorro premieres on MHz Choice.
Who Is Zorro?
Created by American writer Johnston McCulley in the 1919 pulp novel The Curse of Capistrano, Zorro is one of the most enduring action-adventure characters in literature, and has served to inspire legions of fictional do-gooders, including the Lone Ranger and Batman. Zorro (Spanish for “fox”) is secretly Don Diego de la Vega, a wealthy playboy in 18th and 19th-century California. Donning a mask, a hat, and an all-black ensemble, Zorro fights for the downtrodden against the tyrannical forces that would keep them down. The book was originally intended as a stand-alone novel, but it was adapted into The Mark of Zorro, a silent film starring Douglas Fairbanks, and became immensely popular. A long-running series of books followed, as did a bevy of screen adaptations. Notable on-screen Zorros include Tyrone Power (in 1940’s The Mark of Zorro), Guy Williams (in the 1950s Zorro TV series), and Antonio Banderas (in 1998’s The Mask of Zorro and its 2005 sequel, The Legend of Zorro).
MHz Choice is a streaming service that specializes in international programming. Other notable series available to stream on MHz Choice include the Danish noir The Killing, the German thriller Babylon Berlin, and the Canadian horror series Something Undone.
Zorro premieres on MHz Choice on June 30. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
What began as a fleeting interaction at a high-profile UFC event has quickly turned into a headline-making controversy for Guy Fieri.
The celebrity chef found himself at the center of backlash after a brief exchange with Andrew and Tristan Tate went viral, sparking debate online and prompting insiders to reveal how he is handling the fallout.
Guy Fieri’s Viral Moment With Tate Brothers Sparks Backlash
When Guy Fieri attended the UFC 327 fight in Miami, it seemed like just another public appearance.
However, as The Blast reported, things took an unexpected turn when he was seen greeting Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate.
The brief moment, captured by an onlooker, showed Fieri exchanging a handshake and friendly gestures with the brothers.
While the interaction appeared casual and upbeat, the optics quickly ignited a storm online once the clip spread across social media.
Fans who have long admired the Food Network star for his easygoing persona and wide appeal reacted strongly, with many expressing disappointment over what they perceived as an endorsement of the controversial figures.
Guy Fieri Addresses The Situation Publicly
As the backlash intensified, Fieri moved to clarify what happened from his perspective. Taking to X, he explained the context behind the viral moment.
“I was there to see the fights and when I was walking through the venue, the Tate brothers stood up and said hello and that’s when the exchange happened,” he wrote.
He continued, “I did not know them or about them before that moment. I’ll never pretend to be a perfect person but let me be crystal clear, I do not know the Tate brothers nor do I support them in any way.”
His statement aimed to draw a clear line between a brief public interaction and any deeper association, but it did little to immediately calm the online reaction.
Guy Fieri Insiders Say He Is Not Losing Sleep Over The Fallout
Behind the scenes, however, the tone appears far more measured. According to sources who spoke to the Daily Mail, Fieri is not overly concerned about the criticism.
“In public, Guy is on autopilot as he meets so many people he knows and doesn’t know, and he realizes this was an error in judgment but isn’t going to stress much about it,” a source close to him said.
The insider emphasized that the interaction was fleeting and not indicative of any personal relationship.
They shared, “They weren’t in some secret meetings or breaking bread and having a full-on dinner. They interacted and it isn’t like they are best friends and are on vacation together.”
Fieri Believes The Controversy Will Fade Quickly
While the online conversation continues, those close to Guy Fieri suggest he is confident the storm will pass.
According to the same source, he expects the backlash to lose momentum in the coming days.
The insider shared, “Guy anticipates that this will blow over and isn’t going to keep apologizing because he feels that it was an innocent incident while in public.”
That outlook reflects a broader belief that the controversy, though intense, is temporary.
For Fieri, the focus appears to remain on moving forward rather than engaging in prolonged public debate.
Professional Impact Appears Minimal Despite The Uproar
Despite the strong reactions online, insiders indicate that the controversy is unlikely to have lasting professional consequences for the longtime TV personality.
“The Food Network isn’t going to punish him over this interaction,” the source said. “They are going to let Guy live his life and not have this take him down.”
That reassurance suggests that, at least from an industry standpoint, the incident is being treated as an isolated moment rather than something that could affect his career trajectory.
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding the Tate brothers continues to loom large.
The pair have faced multiple legal challenges in recent years, including investigations and charges in Europe, though they have consistently denied any wrongdoing.
For Guy Fieri, however, the situation appears to be one he is ready to move past.
While the viral clip may have sparked a wave of criticism, insiders paint a picture of someone who sees the moment as a minor misstep in a life that often unfolds in the public eye.

Todd Tucker EXPOSED for Cheating on Kandi Burruss with Multiple Women!
Todd Tucker is accused of cheating on Kandi Burruss with multiple women amid their explosive divorce.
“Kandi and Todd had been having marriage troubles for a while now. Kandi was not happy because she found out that Todd had been talking to other women behind her back,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. “She had no idea.” As the rumors circulated, Kandi opened up publicly about the emotional toll of the split. On Wednesday, the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum posted a series of smiling photos on Instagram — taken the same day she filed for divorce — but told her followers the truth behind the images.
“This is what I look like when I’m going through something,” the Bravolebrity, 49, began her caption.
She continued, “I show up for my family, I show up for my friends, I show up to handle my business, & I show up with a smile all while on the inside I’m emotionally broken. In every pic of this video I was internally dealing with something life changing that most of the people in the pics with me had no clue of my inner stress & sadness.” Kandi insisted that her upbeat appearance was not deception but survival.
“This is not being fake,” she wrote. “This is just how I deal with things. I internalize and deal with it alone. I am the poster child for the saying ‘check on your strong friend because you never know what they are going through.’” Although she said she “normally [doesn’t] like to share stuff like this,” she felt compelled to open up after revisiting an old song she “wrote years ago,” which she says “perfectly describe[s]” how she feels now.
In the emotional lyrics, Kandi Burruss sings, “I can’t keep running away.” Another verse adds, “I haven’t shed a tear not even a whimper since December / I haven’t broke my cool or lost my temper / I’m censored.” “But deep down I want to explode and just let all my frustrations go,” the song continues. “Sometimes I want to scream and release the pain I have in me.” While Kandi has not addressed the infidelity allegations, she did say during a November Amazon Live that the breakup had been “brewing for a while.”
Amid Todd allegedly cheating, the estranged couple has been battling in court. Todd Tucker requested primary physical custody along with joint legal custody and final decision-making authority, and he also challenged the validity of their 2014 prenuptial agreement, claiming he signed it under pressure without proper legal counsel.
Kandi responded by asking the court to seal the proceedings to protect their children and prevent sensitive information from spreading online. She later filed an amended petition defending the prenup, pointing to RHOA footage showing Todd acknowledging he was “good to sign” after consulting his attorney. Kandi is seeking joint custody, a determination of child support, and affirmed that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” with “no reasonable hope for reconciliation.”

Anna Kendrick is back in the headlines after a resurfaced interview about Katy Perry began making the rounds online. During a 2014 appearance on Conan, Kendrick recalled what she described as a “weird” moment involving the pop star at the Grammys. At the time, the exchange was treated as humorous, but the clip has since resurfaced in a much different context.
“Katy Perry finger-banged my cleavage. It was a weird night,” Kendrick said during the interview as the audience erupted in laughter. “She’s very mature.”
The conversation continued as host Conan O’Brien asked for more details about the unexpected interaction. “I have met her before, and she’s like … she’s aggressive. I like it,” Kendrick said.
When asked about the moment, Kendrick suggested her outfit may have played a role. Her plunging Azzaro gown was “kinda asking for it,” she said, before adding, “If nobody had done it, I would’ve been a little sad.”
The renewed attention comes after Ruby Rose made explosive claims about Katy Perry over the weekend.
Ruby Rose Makes Bombshell Claims About Perry
Taking to social media, Rose alleged an incident that she says occurred years ago at a nightclub in Melbourne. “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh-t what she thinks,” Rose wrote.
She went on to describe the alleged encounter in graphic detail, claiming she previously reframed the story publicly. “After it I threw up on her, I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it,” Rose alleged.
Rose also explained why she stayed silent for years. “I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly,” she wrote. “Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”
Katy Perry Denies Claims As Cryptic Post Raises Eyebrows
A representative for Perry has strongly denied the allegations. “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies,” the rep said.
“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named,” the statement continued.
Following the denial, Perry appeared to respond indirectly with a cryptic Instagram Stories. “I love you,” the singer wrote, sharing an image tied to her 2013 track “By the Grace of God,” a song centered on survival and recovery.
As the conversation around Perry continues to gain traction following recent allegations, past remarks from her ex-husband Russell Brand are also being revisited. During a podcast appearance last year, Brand reflected on their relationship, offering a notably different perspective amid the current controversy.
“What can I tell you is, when I was married to Katy Perry, she’s like a, not entirely normal, because she’s an extraordinary, massive star, but she’s not weird or off key,” he said during his podcast “Stay Free with Russell Brand” in April 2025. “And wasn’t involved in anything nefarious, as far as I could tell.”
He added, “The reasons that a marriage didn’t work are the normal human reasons marriages don’t work, and I have nothing but respect for her.”
Russell Brand Shares Rare Insight Into Katy Perry Marriage
While he acknowledged they didn’t always see eye to eye, Brand said that’s simply part of any relationship. “I obviously disagree with her political views,” he continued. “But I probably disagree with some of my wife’s political views, my beloved wife, Laura Brand’s political views. So, you know, you always disagree with people, don’t ya?”
Since their 2012 split, both Brand and Perry, who share daughter Daisy Dove with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, have only occasionally spoken about their time together, making his latest comments a rare glimpse into their past.
