Russell Crowe is wasting no time getting the ball rolling with his first movie of 2026, Beast, which hits theaters around the world next weekend. The film stars Crowe as a grizzled MMA coach opposite Luke Hemsworth and Daniel MacPherson, and it’s lining up to be a perfect movie for fans who enjoyed The Smashing Machine, Dwayne Johnson’s 2025 MMA biopic. Crowe is also still hard at work filming his new sci-fi/fantasy remake, Highlander, which also stars Henry Cavill and Dave Bautista. The film is a direct remake of the 1986 film led by Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, and it’s being helmed by tenured John Wick director Chad Stahelski. Highlander still does not have an official release date, but it’s likely that it will make its theatrical debut sometime next year.

2025 was a relatively quiet year for Crowe, at least until November, when he made his long-awaited return to the big screen with Nuremberg, his hit WWII courtroom drama co-starring Rami Malek and Michael Shannon. When early screenings for the film first premiered in the months leading up to its global debut, Crowe was even earning Oscar buzz for his performance as Hermann Göring, but the Academy ultimately passed on recognizing him. Still, Nuremberg grossed nearly $50 million at the global box office before also going on to top VOD charts for weeks. The film debuted on Netflix last month, and although weeks have passed, it’s still one of the most popular movies on the platform. Nuremberg was written and directed by James Vanderbilt, and it’s based on the book titled The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai.

Why Isn’t Russell Crowe in ‘Gladiator 2’?

Even more than 25 years later, Gladiator is still one of the most famous movies of Russell Crowe’s career, so most fans thought he would have some role in the sequel despite being left out of all the trailers. Near the end of 2024, Gladiator II came and went, and there was no sign of Crowe’s Maximus, not even in flashbacks. Ridley Scott’s answer to this was simple, citing that the character died, but Crowe insists that he would have liked to have been included. Late last year, Crowe went public with his harsh criticism of Gladiator II, saying that it was an example of the creatives involved not understanding what made the first film special.

Check out Nuremberg on Netflix in America and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Crowe’s future projects.

Lexx is a fascinating series to look back on, almost 30 years since its 1997 debut. Unlike every other sci-fi series, Lexx embraced sex head-on with a crew that wanted to hook up as much, or more, than they wanted to defeat His Shadow and free the galaxy from his insidious influence.

They accomplish their mission at the end of Season 2, which allowed the writers to go nuts for Season 3, sending the crew of the Lexx over 4,000 years into the future to deal with the problems plaguing the twin planets, Fire and Water. Fans of the sex obessed series stuffed with satire and irony were not ready for how dark the season would get, and especially didn’t expect Lexx’s captain to be sent to Hell. 

The Last Temptation Of Stanley Tweedle

After Lexx drifts into orbit around Fire, the tyrannical Prince (Nigel Bennett) boards the ship with his loyal soldiers, capturing Stanley (Brian Downey) and Xev (Xenia Seeberg), one for torture, one for romance, and even without seeing a second of the show, you can guess who is who. Prince punishes the guilty, tempts others into committing horrendous acts, can die and be reborn, and even judges the dead, making him the closest thing in Lexx to the Devil. 

Prince realizes how important Stanley is thanks to his bond with Lexx, and instead of torture, decides to tempt him into destroying the planet Water by offering up, what else, a woman. In this case, it’s gonna be May, a recently deceased citizen of Water Prince resurrected for Stanley. Stanley actively considers destroying Water using Lexx, but resists temptation, and so Prince arrives to spirit May away from him once again. 

That moment comes back to haunt Stanley later in the season, when he drowns and winds up in the afterlife of Fire on a beach with one of Prince’s forms for judgment. As it so turns out, saying you were in love isn’t a valid reason to plan planetary annihilation. Thankfully for Stanley, none of his actions from the other universe, where they fought His Divine Shadow, count in this one, but there’s still more enough for Prince to condemn his soul to eternal torture. 

From Sex Adventure To Philosophical Debates

If that seems a little heavy for a show that includes a love bot, that’s because it is. Stanley’s adventures during Season 3 may be the darkest of the crew, but everyone, including Kai (Michael McManus) gets put through the emotional and spiritual ringer as the nihilism and hedonism of the first two seasons are reframed through Prince. The writers, realizing that no one from the studio was paying attention, wound up crafting one of the strangest, most interesting seasons of any sci-fi series. 

At the end of the day, it’s still Lexx, which means there’s an episode about Kai releasing drag queen slaves and then Lexx eating them all as they attempt to escape from Girltown. Philosophical musings on life and morality are all well and good, but fans still love Lexx because it’s absurd and unlike anything else. Watching Xev get one over on the Devil, Kai drop from space to the surface of a planet, and Stanley realize that maybe he really is a hero (he’s not) is all great, but it’s also a wild tonal adjustment from what came before. 

Lexx is easy to dismiss with its low-budget special effects and plots that sound like fan fiction gone too far, but it’s also fun for the same exact reason. Even now, clips of Lexx make it feel like a weird fever dream, and there’s been nothing like it over the last 30 years. Season 3 may not be considered the best of the series, that would be Season 2, but it at least dared to try something wild and different, and in the process, sent the raunchy series in a bold direction that questioned its very existence. 

Whew, Roommates! Ray J and Amber Rose are clapping back at Joseline Hernandez after she accused them of allegedly having an intimate relationship in a recent interview. Joseline said she made the assumption after they all appeared on season two of BET’s ‘College Hill: Celebrity Edition’ back in 2023.

Ray J Responds After Joseline Hernandez Claims He Was Intimate With Amber Rose

Recently, Joseline Hernandez did an interview on her streaming platform ‘Why Are You Here TV.’ The reality star shared her thoughts on a bunch of topics, including Ray J and Amber Rose. She claimed she believed the two had an intimate relationship because they were too “buddy-buddy” on season 2 of the 2023 Celebrity Edition of ‘College Hill.’ Ray J appeared to peep her comments and called her out in a series of videos. He said he was tired of her talking about him and Amber on different platforms.

“You one of the dirtiest people I’ve ever been around.” He continued, “Every other network you either talking about me or Amber […] What’s wrong with you?”

From there, he even threw shade at her hygiene claiming she was allegedly “always musty on the set of the show.” He also said he was disappointed in her and she’s been messing up the brand for a minute.

“But you keep going and think that nobody is going to respond! You bark up this tree and you gon’ find something up top that you don’t want.” Ray added, “This ain’t no plum tree in the summer time.”

Amber Enters The Chat With Some Words For Joseline

Shortly after Ray went off on Joseline, Amber jumped in with her own words. She hopped on her Instagram Story to seemingly clear the air. Amber claimed Joseline allegedly tried hook up with her while they were on ‘College Hill,’ but when she shut it down, Joseline allegedly started bullying her. Amber also accused Joseline of lying about the incident and claimed the production team heard Joseline’s attempts. From there, Amber added that Joseline’s attempt to “hook up with her” didn’t air on the show, but it allegedly happened before she came at her claiming “she talks white.” That led Amber to demand that Joseline tell the truth and admit she supports Donald Trump. “And why don’t you tell Black Instagram and Black Twitter that you [love] Trump. Why don’t you tell them that? Since we putting it all out there.” 

Amber also dragged Joseline for being racist and seemingly harassing her for not being ignorant enough to fit in with Black stereotypes. “I’m not Black because I don’t speak ignorantly. That’s how you look at people Joseline? That’s racist!” She continued, “You’re not even Black, you’re Puerto Rican, let’s be all the way clear.” 

Joseline Stands Ten Toes Down on Ray J & Amber Being More Than Friends

Joseline seemed to set Ray J and Amber Rose off when she shared her thoughts about them on her ‘Why Are You Here TV’ streaming platform. She said they were too close on ‘College Hill’ to be just friends. “I definitely think they was f*****g in the house.” Joseline continued, “They were too tight, man. Everybody sleep y’all still outside at three in the morning.” 

Additionally, she said she thinks they’re still messing around today and she doesn’t trust a male or female who calls their friend a “bestie.” She also called Ray a loser and believes he would hook up with Amber, no doubt! “I feel like they still f*****g. He’s such a cornball. He’s a loser […] so he’ll f*** her, absolutely!”

“Summer House” star Kyle Cooke is speaking out after his ex, Amanda Batula, recently confirmed her romantic relationship with cast member West Wilson.

Drama has been brewing in the Bravoverse since late March 2026, after rumors began swirling about Wilson and Batula’s reported relationship.

Kyle Cooke Opens Up About Ex Amanda Batula, Says She’s Being ‘Cyberbullied’ After Confirming Relationship With West Wilson

@adamglyn Caught up with Summer House Star Kyle Cooke and we talk about the Amanda and West Relationship. This is Part 1 of 3! #bravotv #summerhouse ♬ original sound – Adam Glyn

Cooke, who announced his separation from Batula in January 2026, was recently stopped on the streets of New York and said he was still trying to learn the details of Batula’s relationship with Wilson.

“I’ve talked to her — before they put the statement out, she gave me a heads-up, and I talked to her last night,” he said in the TikTok video. “I understand people have all sorts of opinions, and I’m not justifying any behavior, but from where I’m standing, she’s kind of getting cyber-bullied.”

Cooke Says He Is ‘Frustrated’ By Amanda Batula And West Wilson’s New Relationship

Cooke’s statement on Batula’s relationship with Wilson comes days after he dismissed the speculation as a petty rumor.

“I’m obviously frustrated,” Cooke said before appearing to show even more support for his soon-to-be ex-wife.

“I’m obviously disappointed in her, but just hearing her and how unwell she is — [having] dark thoughts — I just ask people to maybe let off the gas a little bit with the cyberbullying and hate,” he said.

Amanda Batula Confirms Relationship With Her Friend’s Ex In A Joint Instagram Statement

Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship in a joint statement shared on their Instagram.

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

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

The news of their connection also comes amid Wilson’s complicated relationship with Batula’s friend, Ciara Miller, whom he dated during season 8 of “Summer House.”

‘Summer House’ Cast Reportedly ‘P-ssed’ And ‘Disappointed’ In Amanda Batula And West Wilson

Besides Cooke, most of Batula and Wilson’s “Summer House” co-stars have stayed silent on the scandal. However, a source told Page Six that they are “p-ssed” and “disappointed” in both of them.

The insider went on to say that most of the cast members are “Team Ciara,” noting her rocky relationship with the sports writer and content creator in 2023.

In March 2026, Miller got candid about the challenges she faced after opening up about her interracial relationship with Wilson.

“I don’t think you guys also realize the interracial aspect that exists and all the s— that goes on,” Miller said. “I get a lot of blowback that’s very racial, obviously, being in this position. I was the first Black person in this house, and then dating publicly, dating white guys publicly, is a whole contraption that I don’t think you guys can understand or can even empathize with.”

According to The Blast, newcomer KJ Dillard shared an image to his Instagram Stories yesterday of a song from The O’Jays titled “Back Stabbers.”

In another post, he shared an image of himself with Miller and fellow Bravo newbie Mia Calabrese and wrote, “I love my big sisters for life.”

Dillard, Calabrese, and other “Summer House” stars have reportedly unfollowed Batula and Wilson in support of Miller.

Batula Boasted About How Great Of A Friend Miller Was To Her

Weeks before Miller and the “Summer House” crew parted ways with Wilson and Batula, the latter boasted about how great a friend Miller was to her.

Speaking with Marie Claire, the reality star described Miller as “one of the kindest, most loving, loyal friends I’ve ever had.”

“[Miller] sends me texts out of the blue, reminding me how strong, powerful, smart, and kind I am—I don’t think she even realizes how much I need those texts,” she said.

Megan Thee Stallion has officially broken her silence after she was recently hospitalized while starring in Broadway’s “Moulin Rouge!” The Grammy winner took to social media to give her fans an update on her health.

Megan scared fans when it was confirmed that she had been removed from the show mid-performance and transported to a local hospital.

Megan Thee Stallion Calls Recent Hospitalization While On Broadway A ‘Real Wake-Up Call’

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, April 1, Megan Thee Stallion spoke directly to her concerned fans after she left her role as the Zidler in Broadway’s “Moulin Rouge!” due to abrupt hospitalization.

“Last night was a real wake-up call for me,” the rapper began. “I’ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me. I thought I was gonna faint on stage. I really tried to push through my performance, but I just couldn’t.”

“Hotties, I wanna be real with y’all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting y’all down,” Megan continued before revealing when she plans to return to the stage. 

“I just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been.. I’ll be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve. Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything,” she wrote.

Megan Thee Stallion Sparked Fan Panic After Being Rushed To The Hospital

While performing on stage on Tuesday evening, March 31, Megan Thee Stallion left during the middle of her performance and was rushed to the hospital.

Following the incident, Megan’s rep, Didier Morias, spoke exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter. “During Tuesday night’s production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” Morias told the outlet.

As the scary situation unfolded in real time, theater officials addressed the audience during the pause in the show, asking them to “stay inside and seated.”

When Megan exited the performance to receive medical treatment, an understudy stepped in to perform for the rest of the show. 

The rapper’s hairstylist and close friend, Kellon Deryck, also confirmed the incident on social media.

In his post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Deryck asked the public to put Megan Thee Stallion in their prayers, writing, “Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital.” 

The Rapper’s Broadway Debut Was Announced In February

Per Billboard, on February 26, Megan Thee Stallion was announced as the newest performer to join “Moulin Rouge!” as the over-the-top Zidler, described as the “impresario of the titular nightclub.”

Her limited eight-week run began on March 24 and will conclude on May 17.

“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor,” Megan said at the time. 

“I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively, and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace,” she continued. “Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation, and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me.”

‘Moulin Rouge!’ Producers Also Expressed Their Excitement At Megan Joining The Cast

The show’s producers stated their excitement at the Houston native joining the Broadway run. 

“Welcoming Megan Thee Stallion into the Moulin Rouge! The Musical community is a thrilling moment for us,” producer Carmen Pavlovic said. 

“Megan is a true global superstar. She is one of the most influential artists of her generation, and her impact on music and culture is undeniable,” Pavlovic continued. “This historic casting is a major part of our closing celebrations: our farewell gift to Broadway audiences and one of our biggest announcements in the history of Moulin Rouge! The Musical.”

“We want our show to go out with a spectacular bang, and Megan is the force of nature to lead us there. And yes, there will be a hint of music from her own iconic catalogue. It’s an unmissable moment for both Megan’s fans and ours,” their statement read.

Megan Thee Stallion Addresses Critics Following Her Broadway Announcement

“It’s a very bad time to be my hater lol I’m EVERYWHERE,” Megan wrote on social media. 

While many of her celebrity fans showed her love across social media platforms, there were also those who were less than thrilled with the news. 

“Checks the calendar to make sure we didn’t jump forward to April 1st without me noticing,” someone shared, while another called the move “so unhinged.”

Sadie Robertson and her husband Christian Huff are opening up about their personal family planning — including Huff’s trepidation over a more permanent birth control method.

“We’re not planning on having a fourth child anytime soon. Ideally, we’re going to give it a lot of space in between,” Robertson, 28, said on the Monday, March 30, episode of her “Whoa That’s Good” podcast. “I would love some time to heal my body and also just enjoy the stage we’re in, but we’d love to one day have another baby.”

Robertson and Huff, 27, are parents of daughters Honey, 4, Haven, 2, and Kit, who was born in August 2025.

While Robertson wants to “heal” her postpartum body before even considering another pregnancy, Huff has his own reasons for not entirely shutting the door on the idea of having another baby.

“The thought of a vasectomy just freaks me out,” Huff quipped on his wife’s podcast. “Any time I think about it, I just start limping around the house. It really freaks me out.”

According to Robertson, Huff’s fake limp is especially “dramatic” to watch.

“I’m, like, ‘OK, well, we [will] just have a lot of kids,” she joked, also divulging her top picks for a future baby’s name. “If it was a girl, Hampton would definitely be at the top of the list. The other kids’ names we’ve kept very secretive, but at this point, like we’ve thrown out so many things, this is the fourth baby.”

Despite Robertson and Huff’s affinity for calling a baby girl Hampton, they aren’t completely sold on the moniker just yet.

“We’d pray about it,” Robertson said. “God’s done so much with the name stories.”

In addition to Hampton, the Duck Dynasty star also likes the names Pepper, Andi and Lennon.

Thank You!

“I really like the name Pepper, but I feel like we can’t have a Honey and a Pepper because it’s two things you find in your pantry,” Robertson acknowledged. “We had a few that we like, but Hampton was definitely the [front] runner, and Honey has now named all of her baby dolls Hampton.”

Robertson and Huff also have a “boy name” chosen if they were to have a son.

“We’re not going to share [because] that has been the boy name. If any of the girls would have been a boy, that would have been the name,” she added. “We don’t even have a runner up for a boy name. If we had twin boys, we’d really have to think.”

Roommates, sometimes a “new chapter” doesn’t mean what y’all think it does—and Todd Tucker is making that real clear! The former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star had folks side-eyeing his message after he dropped a video talking about starting a “new relationship” shortly after his divorce from Kandi Burruss was finalized. Whew… but before y’all jump to conclusions, Todd quickly set the record straight on what he really meant. And, it might not be what you expected.

Todd’s New Chapter, Different Kind Of Relationship

On Sunday, Todd shared that after his divorce, which reportedly included a $426K lump sum settlement, he made a promise to himself to reconnect with his faith. In a video shared to his Instagram, the 52-year-old admitted it had been a long time since he last set foot in church. Along with a caption that read, “Not sure who needs to hear this its ok to start a new relationship,” he later revealed that a message from Jamal H. Bryant—often associated with the Bronner family’s ministry circle—inspired him to take that step.

He explained that if he was going to return, he wanted to be intentional about where he worships. Ultimately, he decided to attend a church connected to the Bronner family, who also live in his former neighborhood. Todd ended the clip by making it clear: while one relationship may have ended, he’s now focused on building a new one spiritually.

Folks Weigh In On His New Chapter

Fans quickly flooded Todd’s Instagram comment section with reactions, and folks definitely had a lot to say. Some praised his decision, calling his relationship with God the best one to start at any time. While others couldn’t help but point out they wished he had leaned into his faith during his marriage. Still, plenty of supporters showed love. And many said they’re happy to see him embracing this new chapter and growth in his life.

One Instagram user @shavonssmith commented, “The BEST relationship to start!!🙏🏽🙏🏽”

This Instagram user @thesamsonstyles said, “It’s never too late to unite with God, bro! I’m glad you’re taking this step🙏🏾💪🏾🫡👑”

And, Instagram user @tooanchored added, “I wish you and Kandi could’ve went together. Divorce is horrible but good for you.“

Meanwhile, Instagram user @iamdomoniquescott shared, “Super Excited For You!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

While Instagram user @thc_mylife said, “The best relationship to be in right now..🙌🏽 watch how you will be at peace.“

Finally, Instagram user @alisefrann wrote, “Never leave the relationship…💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾”

Todd’s Post-Divorce Message Raises Eyebrows

Looks like Todd Tucker recently had the internet talking. And this time, it was over a message that was sent to Kandi Burruss as she prepares for her one-woman show, ‘I Do, I Did, I’m… DONE.’ A post was shared to Todd’s Instagram in support of his ex-wife’s upcoming April 27 show at City Winery Atlanta, but instead of a simple send-off, a playful jab was included with him writing, “Yo a** ain’t done lol just kidding!” While the comment appeared to be made in jest, reactions were quickly sparked across social media, with many telling him to “spin the block.”

The buzz comes as their divorce was recently finalized, with reports previously confirming that the two have officially gone their separate ways and will be focusing on co-parenting their children, Ace and Blaze. While full details of their settlement have not been publicly disclosed, it has been noted that legal documents—including a parenting plan—were required to be submitted by mid-March, marking the next phase in their post-marriage dynamic.

Khloé Kardashian‘s ex shares details of his blended family dynamics.

Tristan Thompson reveals how all his baby mamas have pooled their effort to make it work as they all uphold the importance of family. The father of four made headlines along with the mothers of his children over the years, with mentions of repeated cheating scandals.

Khloé Kardashian’s relationship with her ex, Tristan Thompson, has evolved with time. The pair have faced rocky patches, especially when he cheated on the reality TV star multiple times, which led to the end of their romance.

Does Khloé Kardashian Have Bad Blood With Her Ex’s Other Baby Mamas?

Thompson has addressed the situation between all the members of his family, which consists of his four kids and their three mothers. He shares that everyone, including Kardashian, has a smooth relationship, noting that they have moved past the drama. The NBA star, in describing the status of the existing relationship between the mothers of his children, said that they are all friends.

To highlight the level of smooth sailing in the family, Thompson said, “We all have each other’s contact info. We’re all in a great place, because I think that’s the No. 1 thing.” He continued, explaining that no matter what happens, they are all tied together, all the kids are siblings, hence, they have to be in each other’s lives for years to come.

The pro-basketballer praised all his baby mamas for displaying high levels of maturity and understanding. Because they understand that the goal is to be great parents to the kids and communicate effectively, Thompson shared that coparenting has been great while speaking on a recent podcast. “Shout-out to my kids’ mothers, they’re phenomenal. They make my life easy,” he said after stating that having the same beliefs makes it easier for the parents to build a strong support system for the whole family.

Inside Tristan Thompson’s Relationship With The Mothers Of His Kids

The NBA champ’s oldest child, Prince, came from his relationship with Jordan Craig, whom he broke up with in 2016 amid her pregnancy. Shortly after, he began a relationship with Kardashian that same year and welcomed their daughter, True, in 2018. US Weekly reported that while the reality TV star was pregnant with their daughter, Thompson cheated on her with multiple women.

Initially, the business mogul decided to continue the relationship and work through the odds, but ultimately called it quits when he kissed her sister’s BFF Jordyn Woods in 2019. The former lovebirds decided to give love a second fighting chance the following year, but the romance was short-lived. In 2021, Kardashian and the athlete reconciled briefly before the last straw when it was made public that Thompson was having a baby with another woman, Maralee Nichols.

At the time of his affair with Nichols, which resulted in the conception and birth of their son, Theo, Kardashian’s surrogate was already pregnant with their son, Tatum. Due to the short timeline of his relationship with the three women, the Thompson kids are very close in age, and their father described it as a beautiful occurrence, as they love spending time with each other.

The Athlete Allegedly Called His Third Child ‘A Mistake’

At the time when Thompson stepped out on Kardashian with Nichols, there were speculations that he and the TV star may have been engaged. Speculations arose from “The Kardashians” star’s social media as her photos featured a huge diamond ring on her left ring finger. The mom of two never confirmed or denied the rumors.

The Blast, however, reports that Nichols submitted Snapchat messages between her and Thompson in court documents showing that he told her that he was engaged and had plans to get married shortly. According to the message exchange, Nichols alleged that she was completely unaware of his relationship status as she called him out to take responsibility for Theo.

The basketballer allegedly told his baby mama that he had no plans of either being in the child’s life or building a family with Nichols. “Why not wait till you find the right person to have a family with. Why would you want a baby with a man that’s engaged? You wanna keep a mistake,” part of the message reportedly read.

Tristan Thompson Cleared His Name In A Previous Paternity Case

In 2021, another woman, identified as Kimberly Alexander, rose with claims that Thompson was the father of her child. She involved Kardashian in the drama after she came out with fake DMs showing concocted conversations between her and the TV star.

Alexander reportedly admitted to the DMs being faked, and the paternity test results showed that the athlete was not the father of her son. According to TMZ, the NBA star took the test twice, and the results clearly showed that he was not the dad. However, Alexander did not let go; she spread claims that the lab that did the test was a “Kardashian-affiliated facility.”

The media personality’s legal representative, Lynda Goldman, shut down the claims, explaining that the lab was one of the most reputable labs in the country, adding that Alexander’s lawyers approved and accepted the test results. Kardashian put out a cease-and-desist letter demanding that Thompson’s paternity accuser stop harassing or defaming her online, or else she would initiate a lawsuit.

Khloé Kardashian’s Ex Legal Drama Over Child Support

About three years ago, Thompson made headlines after a legal battle ensued with his first baby mama over child support dues. At the time, it was revealed that he was paying Craig $40,000 monthly for their son Prince despite the dip in his income.

There were no reports that the Canadian athlete had missed any payments, but Craig still filed for an “abstract of judgment” in L.A. The purpose of the document is to serve as a public record if a debt, which, in Craig’s case, is the child support payment, becomes unfulfilled by her son’s father.

The Blast also notes that at the time, Thompson was reportedly paying about $120.000 monthly to his three baby mamas as child support dues. Of this lump sum, $9,500 was the monthly due awarded to Theo’s mom after they dragged out the paternity case.
