Nicole Kidman‘s thick, glossy hair has become almost as recognizable as her film career. Whether she’s attending a premiere, posing on an awards show red carpet, or stepping out for a press appearance, her blonde strands always seem to have that healthy, expensive-looking shine, prompting people to wonder what she uses in her hair routine.
As it turns out, one of the products helping maintain that signature look is surprisingly attainable. Kidman, who serves as a brand ambassador for Virtue, has credited the brand’s Healing Oil with helping keep her hair looking healthy, smooth and strong — and the strengthening growth-focused treatment is available on Amazon for $46.

If your hair has lost some of its bounce and shine, Virtue Healing Oil is designed to help. The formula pairs moisture-rich Kalahari Melon Seed Oil with softening Tahitian Tiare Flower to help smooth dry ends, boost gloss and make hair feel noticeably silkier after styling.
The real standout, though, is Virtue’s Alpha Keratin 60ku technology, which helps support damaged strands while improving softness and manageability. A few drops can help tame frizz, add that healthy-looking sheen and give color-treated hair a fresher appearance between salon visits — all without the heavy, slick finish that makes some oils difficult to wear during the day.
The reviews are where things really shine. With more than 1,000 five-star ratings, shoppers are clearly hooked. One reviewer said the oil leaves their hair “feeling like silk” without “weighing it down.” Another shared that it “literally saved” their “bleached sad strands” and “really helped revive” their hair after damage from coloring treatments.
Finding out that one of Hollywood’s most enviable heads of hair relies on a product that doesn’t require a celebrity budget is always satisfying. At $46, the strengthening treatment offers an easy way to add more shine, softness and healthy-looking movement to your routine — while taking a cue from Kidman’s famously glossy strands.

Kyle Cooke was clocked by his Summer House costars for hooking up with Southern Charm star Salley Carson.
“What’s up with you and Salley from Southern Charm?” Andy Cohen asked Kyle, 43, during part 2 of the Summer House season 10 reunion on Tuesday, June 2. “Is that a thing? Did you guys hookup?”
Kyle initially denied the claims before castmate Lindsay Hubbard stepped in.
“You made out on the night of the Summer House premiere,” she said. “Don’t lie.”
Kyle confirmed that it was “the night before” the party.
“When I found that out, I immediately called [Kyle’s ex-wife] Amanda [Batula], and I told her that Kyle was making out with Salley, and I thought that that was crazy,” castmate Ciara Miller added. “I thought it was absurd. It’s insane.”
Ciara continued, “I’m just making an example of how good of a friend I was to you and how you’re a friend to me. So, I just want to point that out.”

The Summer House season 10 premiere party took place this past February in New York City. Kyle and Amanda were separated at the time. However, it was not yet public that Amanda had moved on with Ciara’s ex West Wilson.
Kyle previously denied having a romantic connection to Salley during a March appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
“We were out with multiple friends, at a dive bar,” he said at the time. “This was not a date situation, just having fun. But, she’s a great girl.”
During Tuesday’s reunion, the photos of Kyle making out with Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King from this past April were also discussed.
“I didn’t know who she was, introduced myself,” he recalled. “We ended up at a Page Six party and then an afterparty. I could, kind of, sense people were looking at us.”
Kyle said that he and Meghan “went across the street” but “didn’t” get away from wandering eyes. They discussed their respective divorces before Kyle “gave her a kiss goodnight” — but things didn’t go any further. (Meghan and her ex-husband, Jim Edmonds, finalized their divorce in 2021.)
A source told Us Weekly exclusively in April that Meghan “pursued [Kyle] the second she saw him” that night. Kyle was “in great spirits” at the event, the source shared.
“He was definitely buzzed and was having fun with her,” the insider added. “It’s nothing serious, but they did hang out all night even after the event was over, and made out several times in public.”
The source added, “Meghan did seem interested and gravitated toward him more as the night went on.”

I spend a good chunk of my workday hunting down Amazon deals, and every year the same thing happens: the best fashion finds start disappearing before Prime Day officially begins. By the time the sale arrives, the most popular sizes, colors and styles are often long gone. That’s why I’m already paying attention to the early markdowns.
Prime Day officially kicks off June 23, but some of the strongest summer fashion deals are already hiding in plain sight.

One thing about Blueface and Nevaeh Akira? Their bond and streaming moments often go viral and spark mixed reactions. In a recent stream, the apparent couple reacted to comments from viewers, including one about getting “tested” for sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). After both confirmed that Nevaeh is the only person being tested, internet users went OFF with critiques and additional questions.
With over 2,000 people watching a recent stream, Blueface and Nevaeh got candid about how they stay clean in the bedroom. At one point, a viewer apparently asked when Blue last went to the doctor. Akira jumped in to answer, saying, “Y’all do know I go to the doctor. This man don’t have nothing.” Blueface added, “Yeah, she goes to the doctor for both of us,” and she laughed in response.
“She go in and if she come back and say it’s clear that means I’m good,” Blueface said. “I don’t even gotta go get checked up,” Blue also said.
Meanwhile, in The Shade Room’s comment section, the short clip collected over 6,300 comments from the roommates. As expected, some reactions gave harsh takes on the apparent couple’s bedroom safety practices and shared personal experiences with their method. Additionally, others expressed a lack of shock at their reveal, while a select few cracked jokes.
To start, @wessst.coastt wrote, “Believe it or not almost all these men think like that smh.”
“My lil brother passed after birth because he contracted a std that my dad gave his mom. That’s not nothing to play with,” @goldietheplayer commented.
“Gross 🤮 what kinda logic is this 🥴,” @ahh_wth_lexi added.
“That’s why them rates high now,” @rachelsaintfortmusic said.
“Like imagine laughing about this at that big ssa age…,” @lysandramarie__ commented.
“This is why I’m starting up my nonprofit to provide free s*xual health education and resources to young adults because the SCHOOLS FAILED US FR 😫,” @nhaomusic wrote.
@ambeebambiex replied, “Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see what’s funny about it. If he came back with a disease, her unborn baby could be at risk too. She just laughs about it like it’s cute.”
“Nope, could not be me. I can not mess with a guy who doesnt get checked,” @moralesheidi added.
“A lot of y’all like this. That’s disgusting. Be carrying all types of yeast too,” @pnutbudder commented.
@blessed_gogetta wrote, “Huh 🤔 child yall do known can have stuff and we won’t know until awhile after smh he needa go!”
Meanwhile, @zimfitmums said, “This isn’t even about the economy. These two are born from siblings. I’m convinced 😂.”
In a separate circulating clip from the same livestream, Nevaeh Akira talked about her other doctor visits. She seemingly confirmed a viewer’s comment about her allegedly having six abortions in the past. After reading the comment, Akira said, “I don’t play” while throwing her hands up. Later she appeared unfazed about someone saying six abortions is a lot.
“I wasn’t ready, gotta get rid of ’em,” she said, laughing when viewers started making assumptions about Blueface being responsible for the aborted pregnancies. “They could’ve been by my first love. Y’all don’t know nothing, y’all just be talking.”
Then, someone asked whether she’d be okay with her unborn son Solar Porter mirroring his father’s behaviors. Her response was that she can’t control a man. “My son gon’ do what the hell he wanna do,” Akira said.
What Do You Think Roomies?
General Hospital spoilers for June 8-12, 2026 are going to see Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) desperate to get out of his Turning Woods situation before Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) kills him. And also, Steve Burton is back as Jason Morgan and we have his return air date.
Plus, we’ve got some huge casting updates. A new guy and a returning character, both of which we leaked for you in the past couple of weeks, and also two returning players and a reveal of which character was marked for death but got a reprieve. That’s something else that we leaked for you guys. And as we always do on early edition day, we are going to start with what is happening the rest of this week and then we are going to get into all the good juicy stuff that is coming next week.
So, with that in mind on Wednesday, June 3rd, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) is worried that he might have said too much. He might have spilled a little more than he should have. And this could have been something to do with going to the cops and telling them about Pascal Levesque (Mark Forget) and that he thinks he killed Marco Rios (Adrian Anchando) when of course he knows he didn’t, but I think he’s just trying to get the PCPD over there. Lucas is plotting. He wants them at Wyndemere to rattle cages. And that’s exactly what happened when Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) showed up there.
So, it looks like Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Lucas, and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) check in with each other on Wednesday. Lucas says they will shoot first and ask questions later. That’s presumably talking about Sidwell and Cullum. And Sonny offers some help and he tells Laura, and I assume Lucas as well, that if they offer him a suspect, he will bite. I think maybe they’re talking about Sidwell in reference to Marco’s murder, but it could be about the cops, but I think Sidwell.
Also, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) wants answers. Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and Carly have crept into Jack’s room at Turning Woods and he wants their help. But Valentin tells Jack that his and Carly’s help comes at a price. I’m guessing it’s to get the WSB off Valentin’s back. I would pay good money to see them pull Jack out of there and stick him up in the attic with Valentin. I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I think it’d be funny.
Willow Tait Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) makes Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) an offer. So, Willow’s asking Chase, “What if there was a position more in line with his skill set?” I wonder if Willow is going to hire Chase to be her personal security. It’s kind of interesting that Willow seems completely unbothered by Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) threats to avoid Chase and instead Willow seems more intrigued by the threat. Also, Brook Lynn says to somebody, “Forgive him for what?” So, they’re likely talking about Chase because I’m sure she walked in while Chase is out with Willow out by the boathouse.
Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) is appalled by what she sees, which is Willow getting handsy with Chase by the boathouse. Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) asks Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) what exactly she needs him to do. So, I wonder if she’s going to ask Michael maybe to get Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) to take over running Charlie’s after she leaves for medical school.
Thursday, June 4th, somebody gives Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) an offer that’s hard to refuse. This may be Cullum looking to Cassius to complete his father’s final project since Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is MIA. If you remember, Cullum was telling Sidwell that he had somebody else in mind. And also, don’t forget Cassius told Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) that his dad used to make him memorize the periodic table. You know, he’s not really a cop. He may be a closet scientist. So, we’ll see if he’s more than just a henchman.
And somebody warns Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean), and this might have to do with the photo of him and Delilah Wilson (Lily Cardone). Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) tries to get Willow to listen to reason. Maybe about Chase or the Jack mess or the Drew mess. I mean, honestly, pick a mess. Josslyn tries a new way to escape captivity. This week, she’s messing with the light fixture.
And then she’s trying to jimmy the door open. Looks like she got a part from the light. So, Josslyn is shocked when it works. She gets the door open, but we’ll see how far she gets. Carly tells Valentin that Josslyn would never leave without saying goodbye. And she’s certain that someone took her. And Tracy’s arguing with Chase. I’m sure it’s about seeing Willow and Chase looking way too close.
Friday, June 5th, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) delivers good news, maybe to Chase and Brook Lynn about the baby. And I’m wondering if she’s going to show Tracy the photo of Ethan with Delilah. Speaking of him, Ava Jerome (Maura West) is prodding at Ethan on Friday. I’m sure it’s about Delilah. And Ethan may not react well. He seemed to have strong feelings for Delilah and was committed to keeping her secrets.
Also, somebody helps Brook Lynn and this may be Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) or Michael and if it is, they’re not really helping her. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) issues a warning to someone and this may be about the search for Britt and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) Laura gets a win. Hopefully, it’s something to do with her scheme with Sonny and Lucas against Pascal and Sidwell moving forward.
June 8th through the 12th, we’re going to see Nina continuing to protect Brennan. And I wonder if he’s going to, you know, mention that he’s at death’s door if he doesn’t get out of Turning Woods. I’m sure he’ll have also told Carly and Valentin at this point about Cullum trying to kill him. Speaking of Cullum, the actor who plays him, Andrew Hawkes, revealed that his character was supposed to die in the Britt, Jason and Rocco shootout. We leaked a while back that he was supposed to die and then it didn’t manifest, and that’s apparently because of this last-minute story pivot that he just confirmed.
Trina Robinson‘s (Tabyana Ali) showcase performance is fast approaching. We should see her and Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) rehearsing more. Tracy reacts to Ethan’s hidden connection to Delilah. I’m sure she’ll be classic snarky Tracy. Got to love her.

Quick casting tidbit and then we’ll get back to next week’s spoilers. Finola Hughes has been taping for a few weeks. So, Anna Devane will be back on our screens very soon. And Steve Burton resumed filming on June 1st. And that puts Jason’s return air date mid-July. Looks like it’s going to be Monday, July 13th. Also, we heard Michael E. Knight is back taping as legal eagle Martin Gray. I wonder if he’s going to take Curtis Ashford‘s (Donnell Turner) case.
Aussie actor Dean Geyer, known for Glee among other projects, is joining the GH cast as Tristan Roberts. That’s like a whole mashup of Tristan Rogers and Robert Scorpio. Plus, with his Australian accent, a tie to Robert makes sense. The only other person I can think of that had the last name Roberts on GH was that was the name that Carly stole from her best friend Charlotte Roberts back in the day. So, we’ll see who it is.
Also, Kate Mansi told fans to be sure to watch June 12th for more news about Kristina’s future. She is exiting very soon. All right, back to spoilers. Michael’s plot with Josslyn to ruin Brook Lynn and Chase’s marriage picks up speed. And if Brook Lynn doesn’t come clean to Chase before the car wreck reveal, I think he’s going to lose it on her.
Curtis may lose some cockiness when he finds out that he is likely not going to get a prison-free plea bargain. You know, this grievous injury to Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) is a big deal. So, we should find out what’s next for Curtis. I don’t think he is going to come out of this shiny the way he thinks. And I am wondering if Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) will push Curtis to apologize to Isaiah and try and make amends and ask him to drop the charges. I don’t think Curtis’ ego will allow for that. Plus, he’s somehow hoping to leverage all this into Isaiah being blocked from the baby’s life when Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) is not down with that at all. And honestly, if anybody’s at risk of losing custody, it’s Curtis who’s just shown that he’s violent.
Britt and Rocco may be located and hopefully not by Cullum or Sidwell. Hopefully we’ll get an update at least. More on Josslyn and her deal with Cashes. And also they just taped the big milestone General Hospital 16,000th episode. They taped it this Monday and it’s going to air on Monday, July 13th, and that’s when we should get Jason back.
Cassie has reportedly revealed that she has moved out of the United States as she responds to a lawsuit filed against her and Diddy by male escort Clayton Howard.
On Tuesday, June 2, TMZ published an exclusive report asserting that Cassie filed a court declaration on May 1, 2026. Furthermore, the declaration was made in regard to the lawsuit filed against her and Diddy by Clayton Howard. In her declaration, Cassie reportedly asserted that she resides “outside of the United States.”
“I do not intend to move back to the United States,” she reportedly wrote, adding. “I am a citizen of the United States… am not a resident of the State of California.”
Ultimately, she reportedly asserted that she would be able to attend court proceedings in New York. This, since this is where her lawyers are located. In her declaration, however, Cassie reportedly did not reveal where abroad she is living.
Social media users weighed in on Cassie reportedly moving out of the United States in TSR’s comment section.
Instagram user @kgood1218 wrote, “Rightfully so. Raise your family in peace. Smart decision”
While Instagram user @_notsoopeachyy added, “$30M in another country really feel like $1B 😂😂😂”
Instagram user @dejaamour wrote, “Get that bread, THEN LEAVE ✌🏽😭🔥”
While Instagram user @paeeee.roll added, “they barely gave her justice so as she fckin should”
Instagram user @beautifulenigma_k wrote, “As she should! She just wanna raise her family in peace ❤️”
While Instagram user @winterlunaworld added, “Glad she moved herself and her family to safety and normalcy”
Instagram user @opheliazuniga_ wrote, “I don’t blame her. ❤️ now let’s leave her alone.”
While Instagram user @_leshv added, “she deserves a fresh start! 👏”
Instagram user @attitude_bae wrote, “Diddy really pushed this woman to her limits.I pray she finds peace wherever she goes.Amen”
As The Shade Room previously reported, in July 2025, Clayton Howard filed an explosive lawsuit against Cassie and Diddy. In it, he alleged that he was one of the male escorts used in freakoffs for the pair, and alleged he even contracted an STD from Cassie. Additionally, Howard alleged he impregnated Cassie, which led to her getting an abortion, and he accused her of “manipulating” him into taking drugs and having unprotected sex.
“Ventura was not merely a victim forced into sexual encounters with male escorts, but rather an active and engaged participant who willingly manipulated and exploited others, including Plaintiff, to satisfy the sexually depraved desires of Defendant Combs and herself,” his lawsuit reportedly stated.
Furthermore, Howard accused Cassie of demanding that he masturbate for hours, forcing herself on him when she was on her period, and threatening physical violence alongside Diddy. In his suit, Howard requested monetary relief.
Per TMZ’s latest report, in her declaration, Cassie reportedly stated that Howard reached out to her husband, Alex Fine, in previous years. In his message, he reportedly expressed his happiness that Cassie was getting justice. To note, Cassie’s mention of Howard’s previous support of her comes amid another male escort, Edmond Laurent, who is also reportedly filing a lawsuit against her. According to TMZ, Cassie noted that Laurent also expressed his support of her before now accusing her of sexual battery and assault.
“[Edmond’s] ‘repulsive use of the judicial system and the attempt to make a victim into an abuser should not be’ allowed by the court,” Cassie reportedly asserted in recent legal docs. “[His lawsuit is] baseless and harassing” [and disincentives] actual victims from coming forward or testifying truthfully as a government witness.”

Jessica Simpson reflected on her past issues with alcohol before singing an unreleased song about her struggles.
“I realized that the drinking wasn’t numbing my pain,” Simpson, 45, told the crowd while performing at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, California, on Tuesday, June 2. “It was actually causing more pain.”
Simpson referred to herself as “a work in progress” while introducing the song, titled “Give It All Away,” which was cowritten by Linda Perry.
“I celebrate each and every day that I feel alive and in my body, and I’m very proud of myself,” the singer continued. “It felt right to share this song with you.”
Simpson concluded, “I want all of you to know that you should have a little grace for yourself, and everything is gonna be OK if you just give it all away, and that’s what this song is about.”

Simpson has been open about her sobriety journey throughout her career, giving up alcohol in 2017.
“I had started a spiral and I couldn’t catch up with myself … and that was with alcohol,” Simpson recalled during a 2020 appearance on Today. “Every day I would say it, ‘I’ll stop soon. I’ll cut back.’”
Initially, Simpson didn’t realize she had a “problem” with alcohol.
“I completely didn’t recognize myself,” she added. “I always had a glitter cup. It was always filled to the rim with alcohol. I just realized that I had to surrender. It was time. I had to give it up and I was ready. I’m not going to miss another day. … I’m going to be present.”
Simpson celebrated eight years of sobriety in November 2025, months after splitting from estranged husband Eric Johnson. (Simpson and Johnson were married for 10 years prior to their January 2025 separation. They share three children: Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, Birdie, 7.)
“8 years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing,” Simpson captioned an Instagram post at the time. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of Gods [sic] purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
She concluded, “Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, I’m so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
After Bridgerton fans had strong opinions about the show’s mistress offer, The Other Bennet Sister just introduced its own version.
During the Wednesday, June 3, episode of the BritBox period drama, Mr. Ryder (Laurie Davidson) offered Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) the chance to travel with him. Mary initially assumed them going away together meant they would get married — until Mr. Ryder clarified he wanted them to be together but with no strings attached.
“At the time and in the moment, Ryder thinks that he’s the ultimate modern feminist of that time. He’s like, ‘Well, marriage is a complete patriarchal shackle and of course, you would want to do away with that,’” Davidson, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I don’t think he’s fully realized that the actual realities of that are very, very different.”
Davidson pointed out that Mr. Ryder wasn’t considering Mary’s perspective.
“The cost of it is very different for Mary. It’s very idealistic but he can genuinely see why she would want to do that. I think they would have a great time. But I don’t think he’s thought it through probably beyond the next two or three weeks,” the actor continued. “There’s a line where he says, ‘You have the courage of my convictions.’ It’s almost like he has an idea that he’s trying out in his mind. He says it out loud and then it’s now out in the air.”
Davidson continued: “When Mary sort of doesn’t push it away completely, he’s like, ‘Well, brilliant, now we’re doing it.’ It’s sort of this idea vomit, which then he wants to follow through with.”

Mary ultimately declined Mr. Ryder’s invitation, which made Bruccoleri “really intrigued” by what would have happened if she agreed to the dynamic, adding, “I’m intrigued to know whether he would have stuck around or whether either of them would have been happy long term.”
In response, Davidson suggested that Mr. Ryder would have encouraged “a freedom of relationships” for both of them. Bruccoleri, 30, meanwhile, was thrilled to hear that Mr. Ryder likely “wouldn’t have left” Mary.
“I don’t think so. That’s the thing, I think it’s genuine love,” Davidson added. “There’s nothing disingenuous about Ryder. It’s just what I suppose people would probably call ADHD — or you’d give it another label — but it’s big ideas and and he is thinking very fast. But I like to think he wouldn’t do a complete 180.”
Based on the novel by Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister follows the events of Pride and Prejudice from Mary’s point of view. The story then departs from that to follow Mary as she travels to London and the Lake District, and the overlooked sister from the big Bennet family has a romantic adventure in Regency England.
While Mary is currently figuring out her future, her connection with Mr. Hayward (Dónal Finn) has yet to be addressed again. Finn, 30, weighed in on the mistress offer of it all during the joint interview with Us, telling Davidson, “You feel pretty true to yourself [on the show].”
Davidson couldn’t help but agree. “It’s very spontaneous,” he added. “So in his mind, it’s the most romantic thing in the world.”
New episodes of The Other Bennet Sister air Wednesdays on BritBox.

The internet might be fazed by Journey Porter’s behaviors, but her dad, Blueface, is not. He hopped online to defend his and Jaidyn Alexis‘ mini-me, nicknamed Pinkface, amid new videos of her swearing and hitting him. This marks one of the latest instances of the 4-year-old going viral over using explicit language, particularly toward Blue.
Less than a year into his early release from prison, Blueface has carved out a new career lane: streamer. This means the internet has been seeing a lot more of the rapper and his family dynamics, from his pregnancy with Nevaeh Akira to how he parents his two children, Journey and Javaughn Porter, with Jaidyn Alexis. With Jaidyn also frequently posting online, ‘Pinkface’ has become a standout lil’ character, especially for her apparent habits of swearing and letting those hands fly when she’s upset.
Most recently, Blueface uploaded footage of Pinkface eating a meal while sitting in his lap. She appears to have marks all over her face, and when he asks to wipe them off, she says, “No, these are my tattoos.” She doubles down on the marks being face tattoos, despite objections from Blueface and a woman off-camera who sounds like Jaidyn Alexis. Then, while smiling and looking at her dad, she reaches up and slaps him across the face. The same woman is head saying, “What the f, NO” while Blueface appears unbothered.
A second video of Journey Porter, seemingly from the same day, shows her upset in the carseat. She yells, “You motherf*cker” at Blueface, who gently put a finger on her nose and said, “You stop cursing right now.” She later slaps someone’s hand away, says she won’t be sharing her toys with Daddy Blue and then fights off his attempt to strap the seatbelt around her. When he mentions that she’s a “bad baby,” she yells back, “shut up” and hits him multiple times.
At some point after posting the videos above, they began to circulate online! It appears Blueface then caught wind of social media users criticizing Journey Porter’s behaviors. He hopped back online, with Pinkface near him, to address comments encouraging him to physically discipline her. Also, he highlighted how the internet would react differently if he put his hands on a grown woman versus his four-year-old.
Meanwhile, in The Shade Room’s comment section, Blueface’s mom weighed in on how he and Jaidyn Alexis should discipline her grandbaby. Karlissa Saffold joked about not being able to hit Journey and letting her elder do it.
“Take her over my momma house she will know what to do. I don’t have it in me to beat my baby right 😂,” Karlissa wrote.
