The Bold and the Beautiful has Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) coming unhinged. And Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) has been begging her to forgive things he didn’t even do wrong. And we’ve got Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) in there, too, being twisted from a hard worker into some gold digging temptress out of nowhere.

Fans are really bothered by what Brad Bell’s doing and how he’s twisting these characters making at least two of them very unlikable.

Electra Doesnt Sit Well with Bold and the Beautiful Fans

So, we’re seeing how Brad Bell is trying to force Electra on the fans as the new top female Forrester. And yes, it’s understandable to want to set up the younger generation to draw in new viewers and keep the storylines going, you know, hopefully for decades. But Brad Bell is failing because Electra does not resonate with fans.

When we first met her, when Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) brought her niece around, she seemed nice enough. And then there was the Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) stuff where Electra was the actual victim and we saw Remy terrorizing Electra and then Will writing to her rescue. All of that was super sweet, very soapy.

Electra Morphs into Someone Unlikable on B&B

And then they brought back R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti). That’s when things took a turn for the worse with these characters. And Electra turned into a whiny, entitled, and utterly unsympathetic little brat. She was hateful to Dylan pretty much from the moment Will offered her his spare garage room. Electra has made unreasonable demands and threats. She’s been nothing short of a bully to Dylan while pretending that she is the victim. And Electra’s been pretty awful to Will.

And I think part of the reason that Brad Bell is writing these unlikable Nepo babies is because Brad Bell is a Nepo baby himself. He grew up in a wealth bubble. And he’s only had one job, writing at Bold his whole entire life. And he got that job from his parents. And if I’m being brutally honest, Bill Bell, his dad, was a legendary writer. And it feels like Brad Bell just is out of touch. He doesn’t know the mind of his fans. Maybe because of his own very privileged background, so he doesn’t really cheer for underdogs like Dylan.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Fixing the Character Mess

Think about how he brought in Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada). She was introduced as a nice girl with a bad mom, Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park). And then they twisted Luna and made her a monster. And now he’s twisting Dylan into something she’s not. And fans think that Brad Bell’s maligning Dylan to try and prop up Electra and make her seem more sympathetic.

But unless they fix the character, fans are never going to embrace Electra. However, I think that Brad Bell can fix the dumpster fire that is Electra, Will, and Dylan. So, let’s talk about how that would happen. First of all, if Brad Bell is intent on making Will and Electra the next big super couple like Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) or Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn Finnegan (Tanner Buchanan) or Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), then things definitely need to change.

And I think the starting point to making Will and Electra endgame is to go forward with this split that they’re having right now. Have Will move on. Have Electra move on for now. Go ahead and have R.J. romance Electra so that she gets an idea of what life is like with him versus Will.

I don’t think R.J. will make her happy, but then Electra can see what she doesn’t want.  Will has always been very sweet and because of that she steamrolls him and she bullies him. R.J. on the other hand is a lot pushier than Will and I think he will be controlling with Electra like the other Forrester men are.

Bold and the Beautiful:

You know, being with R.J. while Eric Forrester (John McCook) and Ridge pat her head and tell her good girl for choosing her cousin will probably push Electra to the ends of her patience at some point and then she snaps because she’s an adult and she needs to make her own choices.

And that means pushing back on R.J., Eric, and Ridge and telling them she’ll date who she wants. I think Electra, if she’s with R.J. will miss Will’s sweetness. So, definitely go ahead, let R.J. have Electra for now, otherwise he’ll never stop trying to interfere with them.

Next, they should go ahead and put Will with Dylan. We know Brad is putting them in bed together according to official Bold and the Beautiful spoilers coming up in the next couple of weeks. So, give Will and Dylan their chance since they’ve had this chemistry that’s been sizzling for quite a while.

And that way, you know, she can finally see that she and Will are not meant to be together. Dylan can get disillusioned and she finds out it’s not all as cracked up to be with Will. Plus, Katie Logan (Heather Tom) will never accept Dylan because she’s decided that she’s targeting Will. And I think Katie is being overly nasty to Dylan because Katie’s convinced she’s up to no good, taunting her, calling her names.

Like, that’s an insult. I mentioned before maybe she’s being so hateful to her because Dylan may remind Katie of Brooke who stole Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) from her more than once because Brooke was gold digging back in the day with both Ridge and Eric with a shovel in each hand.

Brooke’s Gold-Digging Twist on Bold

Brooke dumped her nice middle class fiancé to grab for that fancier Forrester lifestyle. Bottom line though, Will isn’t going to get over Electra. But I think Will’s going to give it a try with Dylan. And along the way, she may finally accept, okay, we’re not meant to be. Will’s never going to love me like he loved Electra. And then Dylan can let him go.

Despite the gold digging twist, I don’t see her and Will together long term or her really trying to force it. And basically, they’re not going to be together long term because Brad Bell doesn’t want it. It’s very clear what he wants, Will and Electra. But other things need to happen first before they are a viable couple that fans can root for.

The Path to Will and Electra Endgame on B&B

So, the next thing I think B&B needs to do is invent a crisis for Will to bring Electra running back to him. Just as she’s seeing that R.J. is no substitute for Will and Electra sees she can never love R.J. we need to see Electra doing the work to be with Will for a change. Her making the effort instead of acting like a princess that everything needs to come and fall in her lap.

We need to see Electra show some accountability for her actions for repeatedly dumping Will over, you know, not much of anything and abusing his affection for her. And Electra needs to own that she’s wrong for accusing Will of lying because he didn’t spill Spencer company secrets and basically for Electra being an all-around brat. She stomps her feet when things don’t go her way.

Crisis Ahead on Bold and Beautiful?

Maybe you noticed Katie mentioned that she’s worried about Will on his motorcycle and Eric mentioned Will’s bike this week as well. That could be foreshadowing that he might crash his bike. If you recall, Steffy had a motorcycle wreck that brought her to Finn, her soulmate. So, Will might have a crash.

You know, nothing life-ending, but something short-term scary. So, it would terrify Electra into realizing what she has thrown away because Will is a wonderful guy. And I could see Electra walking out on R.J. and running to Will’s side with sincere apologies and Electra promising to do better, to stop being so selfish, and to be the kind of woman that he deserves.

RJ & Dylan Should be Endgame on B&B

The last thing they need to do to fix this mess with Will, Dylan, and Electra is to give Dylan a shot with Will and R.J. to have a shot with Electra, as I said before. And then it doesn’t work out. And that leaves R.J. and Dylan single and heartbroken. And so this is the last phase of what I see as the operation fix this mess thing. So to be honest, R.J. and Dylan, they do have good chemistry.

Plus R.J. like his father Ridge and grandfather Eric probably wouldn’t mind a gold digger in his life. They can afford it. They both married Logan ladies that have cashed in. I mean, there’s been a lot of gold diggers in the Forrester’s past. Brooke and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) and other women who have cashed in. So, what’s one more gold digger with Dylan?

I could see R.J. and Dylan commiserating over them losing Electra and Will after they, you know, shoot their shot and it doesn’t work. And then R.J. and Dylan realize that they were placeholders for Electra and Will who are meant to be together. And then R.J. and Dylan turn to each other and they figure out they’re happier together than with the person that they thought they actually wanted. I think that all of that plan could fix this mess.

Katey Sagal is opening up about her path to parenthood.

“I had a child at 52 through a surrogate, but I became a mother again at 52,” Sagal, now 73, said on the Wednesday, August 5, episode of the “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast. “My husband is six years younger than I am, and this is my third husband. When we met, he was like, ‘I don’t want to have any kids.’ I was like, ‘OK ‘cause I have about five minutes left if you want to have kids.’”

Sagal married Kurt Sutter in 2004, three years before they welcomed daughter Esmé, now 19. The actress also shares daughter Sarah, 31, and son Jackson, 30, with ex-husband Jack White.

Despite Sutter’s hesitation, he ultimately had a change of heart after “really talking about it” with Sagal.

While some celebrities get started growing their families early on, these stars waited to have children until later in life. Alanis Morissette, for example, announced in March 2019 that she was expecting her third child at age 44. The “Ironic” singer, who married rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway in 2010, posted a baby bump pic to […]

“We did the surrogate process and that’s what happened,” she told podcast host Ted Danson. “We continue to live life, we don’t just fold up and die.”

Sagal has now watched her eldest children follow in her Hollywood footsteps.

“My older kids are both musicians and actors, and my oldest daughter has made the most beautiful record that she wrote and produced and she’s amazing,” she gushed of Sarah. “And just to see the process of how you have to be able to market yourself now, like, where you’d have to pay [labels] back, but they’d give you money, so that you could just be an artist and they do all the selling.”

She continued, “Now, it’s just a very different world for young artists. It’s hard. I mean, on the acting side, too.”

Sagal’s son, Jackson, for his part, is best known for his starring role on Hulu’s Tell Me Lies.

“He’s doing quite well as an actor,” Sagal added on Wednesday. “He’s in Australia right now making a movie, but he’s on a television show called Tell Me Lies on Hulu. They just finished their third season, so he just kind of blew up. My sweet son.”

When Jackson, Sarah and Esmé aren’t traveling for various work or school commitments, they live near Sagal in Los Angeles.

“My daughter lives, you know, 10 minutes from me and my youngest one is 19, and she’s home from college,” she said. “I get to nose my way in [to their careers]. What I’ve really learned lately is to say things like, ‘I have some thoughts about that. Would you like to hear it?’ Then, if they say, ;No, mom, I don’t want to hear it.’ I have to follow suit, but I’m not a pushy stage mom, but I relate to their art.”

“Gamerhood” returns with a fresh season packed with bigger challenges, louder personalities, and nonstop chaos.

The State Farm original reality show brings together some of the internet’s most recognizable creators from the past decade to compete in everything from intense video game matchups to larger-than-life physical arena challenges. The season premiered in late July 2026 and continues every Friday in August at 6 p.m. ET.

The cast features some of the streaming community’s biggest names, including iShowSpeed, Cinna, Marlon, and Emiru. Joining them are PlaqueBoyMax and JasonTheWeen, who spoke exclusively with The Blast about competing on the series and what viewers can expect as the season unfolds.

While “Gamerhood” doesn’t feature traditional reality TV stars, it promises to deliver the same high-energy drama… and then some.

“Community has always been at the heart of what sets State Farm apart, and it’s what makes Gamerhood unlike any other show. This year, fans will get to share in the success of their favorite streamer as 100,000 subs are gifted to their communities over the course of the season,” said Alyson Griffin, Head of Marketing at State Farm.

“Beyond gifted subs, we created a completely new 2D game for people to play at home for prizes and teamed up with 100 Thieves to design limited edition Gamerhood inspired apparel. Each year we’ve continued building an entire entertainment experience around the show and we’re thrilled to celebrate half a decade of Gamerhood with the fans,” she added.

iShowSpeed Is Part Of The Season 5 Cast

For this season of “Gamerhood,” State Farm raised the stakes by bringing together some of the biggest names in streaming, including reigning Streamer of the Year iShowSpeed.

“I appreciate State Farm for bringing me out to the Gamerhood. I know the fans will love seeing me game again. The physical challenges were also insane, and I think the people watching at home will feel that too,” he said.

JasonTheWeen And PlaqueBoyMax Open Up About Leaving Their Everyday Routines To Compete On ‘Gamerhood’

Joining iShowSpeed are JasonTheWeen and PlaqueBoyMax, two of the internet’s fastest-rising streaming stars whose influence extends well beyond gaming. Together, they’ve built devoted online communities, shaped digital culture, and have become two of the most recognizable creators of their generation.

Although “Gamerhood” is fast-paced and filled with demanding challenges, JasonTheWeen told The Blast exclusively that stepping outside his usual routine and into that environment was “refreshing.” What made the experience even more rewarding, he said, was the opportunity to bet on himself, relying on his instincts and “brains” to carry him through the competition.

PlaqueBoyMax echoed that sentiment, describing the experience as “fire.” He added, “Gamerhood was different. You’re out there in a whole arena, with cameras everywhere, competing against people you actually know, and everybody’s trying to win.”

What Can PlaqueBoyMax And JasonTheWeen’s Fans Expect To See During Season 5?

The ongoing season, which premieres new episodes every Friday at 6 p.m. ET on the State Farm YouTube channel, offers more than just video games and over-the-top challenges. It also delivers plenty of plotting, scheming, and strategic gameplay.

“This season isn’t one of those things where you can predict what’s about to happen. Everyone’s got their own interests and it’s everyone for themselves, so you can’t really trust anybody. People are teaming up when it makes sense, switching up when they have to, and the whole time everybody’s got their eye on the prize, trying to get those gifted subs. And then the IRL challenges make it even crazier because you gotta actually move, think, react, and not look goofy. So yeah, people are going to laugh, people are going to argue, and the clips are for sure going to go viral for sure,” said PlaqueBoyMax.

JasonTheWeen, meanwhile, described the season 5 cast as fiercely competitive, noting that everyone came in with the same goal: to win. That competitive spirit, he said, sometimes turned into a bit of “trash talking” that’s sure to play out in the episodes to come.

Why State Farm?

Season 5 of “Gamerhood” is produced by State Farm, and for PlaqueBoyMax, the collaboration was the perfect fit. “It made sense because Gamerhood is basically everything I like about streaming put into a show format. It’s creators, games, funny moments, competitiveness, people talking crazy, audience reacting… all that. And I got to do it with people I actually know, so it didn’t feel random,” he told The Blast.

JasonTheWeen shared a similar perspective, adding that taking the opportunity to compete alongside his friends was a no-brainer. “Coming together, competing, playing video games, and doing fun physical challenges … it’s fun. If I’m having fun, then the content is going to be good.”

Alec Baldwin‘s daughter Ireland Baldwin spoke out about Perez Hilton‘s hospitalization following their complicated history.

“Perez Hilton has publicaly [sic] humiliated my family for years, sexualized me from a young age, commented on my weight and body [as a child], made unforgivable comments about people in my family, drew j!zz coming out of my mom’s and friend’s mouths, and has always been a despicable human being,” Ireland, 30, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday. August 5.

She added: “But his children deserve better and a healthy father and I am so sad for all of them. I hope he gets the help he needs and heals.”

Hilton, 48, was hospitalized after he appeared to engage in self-harm behavior during a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, August 4. According to 911 dispatch audio obtained by Page Six, first responders were called to Hilton’s home in Miami for an alleged “suicide attempt.”

“The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls regarding an individual who was live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media,” the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office told Us in a statement on Wednesday. “Deputies quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside.”

The statement continued: “In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize deescalation by creating time, distance and opportunities for communication. At this time, deputies have tactfully disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation.”

In an additional update, authorities confirmed that the individual was “safely recovered” and transported to a nearby hospital. (Hilton was not directly named.)

“He is receiving medical attention,” the second statement read. “The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and Licensed Mental Health Professionals are also on scene providing support and resources to the individual’s family.”

Hilton’s agent later told Us that there was no “additional confirmed information to share regarding Perez Hilton’s condition,” asking for “privacy while he receives the care he needs.” Hilton’s family also issued a statement after the livestream.

“Our family wants to once again thank everyone who has reached out with prayers, kind messages, and support for Perez. Your compassionate humanity during this profoundly heartbreaking time has meant more than words can express,” read a message shared via Hilton’s website on Wednesday. “This has been incredibly difficult and emotional for us, made even harder because very little information has been made available to our family. While we continue to wait for further updates, we remain hopeful.”

Thank You!

The statement revealed that Hilton was “able to communicate” while receiving treatment in Florida.

“[This] has given our family hope,” his family continued. “We respectfully ask for your continued prayers, understanding, and grace as Perez continues to recover. We will share additional updates as we receive confirmed information and are able to do so. For now, we’re taking things one step at a time and keeping our focus where it belongs, on Perez and his recovery.”

Lawsuit Alleges Singer’s Dog Attacked Woman Delivering Package

A new lawsuit filed in Georgia claims that Ne-Yo’s dog viciously attacked a woman trying to deliver a package to his residence, according to TMZ. The lawsuit alleges that Dominique Bridgett was severely injured while delivering a package to the ‘Because Of You’ artist’s home. Bridgett was allegedly attacked by the dog and sustained “severe bodily injury, pain, shock, and distress” as a result. Not only that, she claims she’s already spent $9,039.50 on medical bills. Furthermore, in the complaint, Bridgett is seeking damages and coverage of her medical expenses.

Ne-Yo Shared Footage From Tour With Akon

Meanwhile, Ne-Yo is currently on tour singer Akon, and Rolling Stone Canada shared footage from their ‘Night Like This’ tour on Monday, August 3 on Instagram. The footage includes clips from the tour’s stop in Toronto. Ne-Yo reportedly performed his 2008 hit ‘Miss Independent,’ while Akon performed hits such as ‘Smack That.’ Furthermore, the post was captioned:

“Toronto got a double dose of nostalgia and hits as @neyo and @akon took over the city for a night that felt like a 2000s time capsule. From ‘Miss Independent’ to ‘Smack That,’ the crowd knew every word, and the energy never let up. 🎥 @david.dgt57.”

Chris Brown Was Also Sued Over Dog Attack

The amount of the lawsuit against Ne-Yo wasn’t shared, but it could be costly. Singer Chris Brown was also sued after his dog, Hades, reportedly disfigured his former housekeeper, Maria Avila. The housekeeper alleged that the 200-pound guard dog attacked her outside of Brown’s home in 2020. The incident occurred at his home in Tarzana, California, and she filed a multi-million-dollar-lawsuit against the ‘Loyal’ singer. The recording artist argued that he wasn’t responsible because he’d advised the housekeeper not to go outside without security. A Los Angeles jury ultimately found Brown and his company liable for negligence and awarded Avila nearly $13 million in damages.

Former Kardashian nanny Leah Barrs broke her silence on the assumption that the client dad she hooked up with was Travis Barker.

“No. This is when I first moved to Los Angeles,” Leah, 31, clarified during the Wednesday, August 6, episode of Harry Jowsey’s “Boyfriend Material” podcast. “I was 22. So that is why it’s so crazy, [since] I am now 31.”

Leah shut down the speculation that the hookup story overlapped with the time she spent working for Travis’ now-wife, Kourtney Kardashian, adding, “Oh, my gosh, no.”

Before being front and center on Million Dollar Nannies, which premiered on Hulu in June, Leah gained a following while documenting her time as a nanny for Kourtney’s family. Leah surprised viewers on season 1 of the new show after revealing she previously slept with a dad who was her boss.

“I was young — I was 22 at the time,” Leah told People. “And I shouldn’t have done that.”

Leah clarified that the father was a “friend” before he hired her to be his nanny. She also maintained that the unnamed man was single when they slept together, adding, “I was working for him that night, so I shouldn’t have crossed that line.”

Despite having some “regret” about the situation, Leah was glad she learned from the mistake.

“But I’m not that person today,” she noted. “[Now], he’s happily married. Pack it up.”

Travis, meanwhile, shares two kids, son Landon, 22, and daughter Alabama, 20, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He is also a father figure to Shanna’s daughter Atiana, 27, whom she shares with Oscar De La Hoya.

The past few years have not only given us truly great sci-fi films like Dune, Everywhere All at Once, Project Hail Mary, as well as great Kaiju films. Be it the MonsterVerse’s Godzilla x Kong franchise or Takashi Yamazaki’s Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One, which took the world by storm and fueled a new love for the monsters. The fans are winning on all sides.

Later this year, fans are gearing up for Dune: Part Three, which will be the last installment of Denis Villeneuve’s magnum opus. The giant will clash with the MCU’s own sci-fi entry Avengers: Doomsday, which will unravel the multiverse. But before those, there is a bigger giant that’ll have the fans’ attention: Godzilla Minus Zero, the highly anticipated sequel to Yamazaki’s Oscar-winning feature.

The film is a direct sequel set two years after the events of Godzilla Minus One, as we follow the Shikishima family in a recovering Japan, as a fully regenerated, larger, and more ferocious Godzilla returns. After dropping the first teaser for the film earlier this year, Toho followed it up with a breathtaking first trailer to hype the fans, and this time around the scope is massive given the bigger budget, and it’s even made for IMAX. Godzilla Minus One was a surprise hit, as the word-of-mouth praise made the movie highly intriguing for fans, who were taken by an incredibly humane story with brilliant spectacle.

Godzilla Minus Zero Is the Second-Longest Movie in the Franchise

Starring Ryûnosuke Kamiki as Kōichi Shikishima and Minami Hamabe as Noriko Ôishi, Godzilla Minus One made $116 million worldwide on a $10 million budget and earned a 99 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating. So, the bar is in heaven for Yamazaki and team to triumph their previous work. However, one element of the film is certainly garnering the attention of fans: its runtime, Godzilla Minus Zero is 2 hours and 15 minutes long, making it the second-longest movie in the 70-year-old franchise. In contrast, Godzilla Minus One was 2 hours and 5 minutes long, while the longest movie is Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla, released in 1998, starring Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, Maria Pitillo, and more. Its runtime exceeds Minus One by a small margin, standing at 2 hours and 19 minutes. This officially makes Godzilla Minus Zero the longest Japanese-produced film in the entire franchise.

Godzilla Minus Zero roars into theaters starting November 6 in the US. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Perez Hilton had been publicly reckoning with the cruelty that defined his early career before being hospitalized following a disturbing TikTok livestream. The celebrity gossip blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, rose to fame by turning celebrities’ private struggles and public mistakes into content for millions of readers.

Hilton eventually acknowledged that his approach caused genuine harm, apologizing for everything from targeting celebrity children to outing people without their consent. Earlier this year, he said he felt “deep shame and regret” over his past behavior. Now, amid his hospitalization, that complicated history has influenced how some members of the public are responding to his health crisis.

Hilton was taken to a hospital late Tuesday after concerned viewers contacted authorities about his TikTok livestream. The Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that deputies responded to Hilton’s residence after receiving multiple calls about his well-being. Authorities “spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside,” the sheriff’s office told CNN.

Deputies reportedly attempted to de-escalate the situation before Hilton was transported for medical treatment. The department explained that its response to mental health emergencies often involves “creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication.”

A statement posted to Hilton’s website Wednesday evening offered a cautiously hopeful update about his condition.

Hilton became one of the internet’s most influential and notorious celebrity bloggers during the 2000s. His website attracted millions of readers, but its success was fueled largely by a confrontational approach to celebrity coverage. Hilton mocked stars, assigned them insulting nicknames and published invasive stories about their personal lives.

Several prominent entertainers publicly condemned his conduct. Demi Lovato accused Hilton of being a “bully,” while Lady Gaga accused him of stalking her in 2013.

Mila Kunis offered a particularly harsh assessment of his impact during a 2018 interview, calling Hilton the “first person that created ugly news, that literally just spread filth.” According to Kunis, his success “allowed people to be mean.”

Hilton repeatedly apologized for crossing boundaries and acknowledged that some of his celebrity coverage had gone too far. Certain people accepted those efforts, while others remained unwilling to forgive him.

A Daily Mail reporter who has known Hilton for more than 25 years stressed that forgiveness cannot be demanded, particularly when his work caused real emotional damage. The reporter nonetheless rejected suggestions that Hilton’s current suffering should be viewed as deserved punishment.

His past conduct may explain why some people have struggled to extend sympathy, but it does not make his health crisis less serious or eliminate the fear being experienced by his children and family. Accountability for Hilton’s actions and compassion for his current distress do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Hilton’s latest hospitalization comes several months after he spent three weeks receiving treatment for sepsis. In March, Hilton explained that he had developed the flu and failed to take his medication with food as directed. According to the blogger, he subsequently developed an ulcer that perforated and required emergency surgery.

In another video shared days later, Hilton said he had started reading the Bible and felt “deep shame and regret” about his conduct throughout his gossip career, per Forbes.

Hilton’s apologies cannot undo the personal damage caused by his reporting, and the people he targeted are under no obligation to forgive him. However, his hospitalization has forced a broader conversation about whether compassion should depend upon a person’s past behavior.
