10 Modern Sitcoms That Are 10/10, No Notes
Sitcoms are the band of television — or sometimes, exactly what viewers are looking for when they want something easy to unwind to. They are easy to watch, relatively lighthearted, and most of the time don’t require much commitment. Most importantly, they know how to make people laugh.
However, in today’s world, it takes more than comedic chops to keep viewers engaged. In the current political and cultural climate, sitcoms must also reflect the modern changes of modern life, all while remaining funny. After all, no medicine is better than laughter. Without further ado, here are 10 modern sitcoms that are a 10/10, no notes.

‘Ted Lasso’ (2020–Present)
It’s an American invasion in Ted Lasso. Kansas City football coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is recruited by English soccer/football club A.F.C. Richmond as its new coach. The problem is, Ted has no clue about the sport. With his new team underestimating and Richmond’s fan base doubting his abilities, Ted proves otherwise with the power of kindness.
Ted Lasso is the ultimate culture clash. Nothing is more awkward and entertaining than watching Ted’s Southern hospitality collide with the British people’s brutally honest demeanor. On a bigger picture, the show also presents these football players at their most hilarious in their personal lives. Underneath the machismo of the sport, these players are big softies at heart. In a world where it’s easy to be cynical due to the devastating news, Ted Lasso‘s advocacy for utter kindness is wholeheartedly refreshing.

‘Kim’s Convenience’ (2016–2021)
Don’t forget to stop by Toronto’s favorite corner shop. Kim’s Convenience follows first-generation Korean immigrants, Mr. Sang-il Kim/Appa (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and Mrs. Yong-mi Kim/Umma (Jean Yoon), as they tend to their humble little store. From generational to cultural gaps, the two stumble into delightfully awkward moments with their customers, most notably the “gay discount” schtick.
Thankfully, they have their more culturally assimilated daughter, Janet (Andrea Bang), to rely on whenever they’re stuck in an awkward crisis. As a show about immigrants making it on the other side of the world, Kim’s Convenience may be full of misunderstandings, but these characters also embrace where they come from. Whether it’s Appa breaking into Hapkido in the middle of the store, or old-school superstitions, it’s unapologically Korean. As immigration becomes an increasingly crucial topic within today’s heated political climate, Kim’s Convenience shows how joy itself can be a form of resistance.

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ (2019–2024)
Based on the 2014 mockumentary of the same name, What We Do in the Shadows follows four centuries-old vampire roommates who spend their immortality bumbling through modern life on Staten Island. Although being undead has its perks, Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) are stuck in their own silly little existential crises.
With all the time in their hands, these vampires sure know how to make use of it to fill their boredom. What We Do in the Shadows takes viewers from one misadventure to another, stripping away the traditional mysteriousness of these bloodthirsty creatures. Whether it’s doing very human errands like going to the supermarket or discovering Van Helsing blood, these vampires have the best (or worst) of both worlds. Beneath the fangs and centuries-old demons in What We Do in the Shadows, the joke is simply and utterly relatable: having terrible roommates. Whether it’s avoiding chores or refusing to pay the bills, these vampires need to — no pun intended — grow up.

‘One Day at a Time’ (2017–2020)
Based on the 1975 series of the same name, One Day at a Time follows the Cuban-American Alvarez family living in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Single mother Penélope Alvarez (Justina Machado) is a former United States Army Nurse Corps nurse trying to find her footing in civilian life. With three generations living in one apartment, Penélope is often dragged into family mishaps.
In between raising her outspoken children and clashing with her tradition-loving Cuban mother, there’s never a boring day in the Alvarez household. But when the show isn’t joking around, One Day at a Time knows how to get serious. The series doesn’t shy away from familiar realities — from Penelope’s PTSD to her ex-husband’s alcoholism — showing that life may be hard, but we can alway scope with a bit of laughter along the way. No parent is perfect. Beyond its immigrant story, One Day at a Time validates exhausted mothers who are often messy, overworked, and stretched thin — especially when the family is of little help. Yet no matter how much they nag at each other, they are the ones who stay with you, no matter how dark it gets.
6
‘The Good Place’ (2016–2020)
The Good Place follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), a selfish and self-absorbed sales agent who dies and is mistakenly sent to a heaven-like afterlife called the Good Place. Created by the immortal architect Michael (Ted Danson), it’s meant for virtuous souls who’ve done good in their past lives. Eleanor quickly realizes that she’s not supposed to be here and secretly hides her wrongdoings.
The afterlife can be a touchy subject, but The Good Place knows how to have fun with it without getting too personal. Trying to hide her true identity, Eleanor often causes chaos in this “heaven-like” realm, from setting off a fire alarm to disrupting a neighborhood potluck. But if heaven’s willing, maybe Eleanor can learn a thing or two about redemption in this “life.” The Good Place shows what it actually means to shed your ego in exchange for accountability. There are missteps along the way, yet the most meaningful moral growth comes from making and learning from your mistakes.
5
‘Adults’ (2025–Present)
When you put five reluctant twenty-somethings in one building, you get Adults. Issa (Amita Rao), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Samir (Malik Elassal), Anton (Owen Thiele), and Paul Baker (Jack Innanen) are roomies and de facto best friends crammed into a New York City house. Fumbling their way through adulthood, their co-dependent friendship brings out the best and worst in each other.
From now knowing how social security works, to blowing a one-shot job promotion, Adults is just as amusing as it is accurate. Nobody truly gets the anxiety of collapsing into unemployment, or having your boiler break down in cold weather. No matter how outrageous the situation, what’s most important is having people who show up through the highs and lows. Most audiences understand the pains of adulting. While becoming a full-fledged adult is often difficult, Adults shows that the best remedy is the people who help you survive your quarter-life crisis — with a little laughter along the way.

‘St. Denis Medical’ (2024–Present)
No better and more inappropriate place to joke around the job than a hospital. St. Denis Medical follows the overworked healthcare workers of a poorly financed hospital as they provide the best care possible to patients. Overseen by oncology surgeon Joyce (McLendon-Covey), she’s in charge of making sure hospital operations run smoothly — without staff sacrificing their own sanity.
Hospitals can be some of the scariest places for people. In a high-stakes environment like this, it’s easy for health workers to lose their cool. But just like patients, the staff are human too. In a place where death could be around any corner, St. Denis Medical shows how difficult it is to remain empathetic without being consumed by the grim reality of a hospital. The staff may not always come across as the heroes they imagine themselves to be. However, given the amount of care and compassion they’re expected to show every single day, the show gives these employees their flowers.
3
‘Shrinking’ (2023–Present)
The world’s worst therapist is ready to psychoanalyze you in Shrinking. Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) has spent the past year grieving the death of his wife, and work hasn’t been easy. With patients rambling about their problems without making progress, Jimmy finally snaps and gives them the cold, hard truth — which, in a surprising turn of events, actually works.
Part workplace comedy, part family sitcom, Jimmy’s scientifically and ethically questionable methods often land him in hilarious situations with his patients. From getting his patient beat up to forcing another to talk to his barista, these small, chaotic interactions are pieces of the bigger picture: figuring out how to find meaning in life after mourning. Grief isn’t a one-way street, and it’s definitely not linear. There will be peaks worth celebrating and dips worth crying over, much like the ones in Shrinking. There’s no simple step-by-step guide to mourning; it’s about getting through each day with whatever capacity we can conjure up.
2
‘Ghosts’ (2021–Present)
Ghosts follows cheerful journalist Samantha (Rose McIver) and her partner Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), an aspiring city chef, who inherit a rundown country mansion and decide to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast. Little do they know, their charming, humble abode is a hotbed for a lively, eclectic group of ghosts. But with all their money spent on renovations, it’ll be a waste to throw the entire project away.
These ghosts are nothing like the vengeful demons often seen in horror. They’re more like your annoying neighbors. From a sassy Prohibition-era lounge singer to a 1700s militiaman and a 1960s hallucinogen-loving hippie, these housemates are more hilarious than horrifying. When Samantha actually starts seeing these spirits, things get a lot more comedically complicated. Just like the spirits in Ghosts, human audiences can learn a thing or two about moving on. Sometimes our problems freeze us in a state of “purgatory” — much like the mansion. It’s easy to feel trapped in our worst habits. The only way forward is by confronting these demons head-on.

‘Abbott Elementary’ (2021–Present)
These teachers have no time for a break. Abbott Elementary follows a group of dedicated, passionate teachers, and their slightly tone-deaf principal in a Philadelphia public school. Despite being underfunded and outnumbered, they are determined to help their students succeed and make a positive impact on their lives. Of course, that is if the difficult school district doesn’t breathe down their necks.
No teacher is perfect at Abbott, but at least they’re trying their best. Second-grade teacher Janine (Quinta Brunson) is eagerly enthusiastic about making positive changes at the school, which often throws the staff into unwanted situations. Still, they see the good intentions in Janine, and together, they band together to ensure their students receive the best learning experience possible despite the limitations. All too often, students take for granted the effort teachers put in. No blame to them — it’s because these teachers make it look so easy. Abbott Elementary highlights the real work involved in teaching kids not just their ABCs, but also how to grow into good human beings.

Tom Hanks’ son Chet Hanks faced more than a few Cast Away jokes after revealing he is stuck in Colombia without his U.S. passport.
“Free me! Free me,” Chet, 35, joked via an Instagram video on Friday, February 27.
The Running Point actor explained that he recently traveled to Puerto Rico for his “homeboy Max’s birthday party” and “had a good time.” After the birthday festivities, Chet decided to visit another friend in Medellín, Colombia.
“Sounds good, right? Well, check this out,” he quipped before revealing his nightmare travel story.
Per Chet, he has been “traveling with my Greek passport because I’m a dual citizen” and thus decided to leave his U.S. passport at home since it was about to expire.
“Sometimes they don’t let you in the country, even if it hasn’t expired, but it’s about to expire,” Chet claimed.
Chet apparently had a wild time in Medellín but the trip took a stressful turn when he showed up at the airport to fly back home.
“I go to the airport to check in [for] my flight three hours early,” he said. “This is an international flight. They tell me that if I’m using a foreign passport, I need a green card to get back into America.”
The problem with the airport staff’s request is that Chet doesn’t have a green card since he’s “an American citizen.”
“I’m literally stuck in Colombia. I’m stuck in Medellín,” he admitted to viewers. “Granted, there’s worse places to be stuck, but I literally have no f***ing idea what I’m gonna do, and the only embassy to get this s*** settled is in Bogota.”

Chet explained that he was reluctant to travel from Medellín to Bogota in order to get the travel issue resolved.
“So, free me,” he jokingly begged.
Us Weekly has reached out to Chet’s representatives for comment.
Chet did not seem too stressed about his travel situation, as he later shared numerous videos and photos of himself partying with friends.
The comments of Chet’s video were filled with fans humorously referencing his dad’s classic movie Cast Away, where Tom played a Fedex courier stranded on a South Pacific island.
“Better call someone in your family to have them FedEx your passport to you ASAP,” one Instagram user joked, while another added, “Tom Hanks doesn’t have the best of luck with FedEx.”
One commenter slipped in a sly reference to another of Tom’s movies by suggesting that the Oscar winner might be “waiting at the terminal” for Chet. (The 2004 comedy The Terminal starred Tom, 69, as an Eastern European traveler stuck at New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport.)
Before his vacation troubles, Us Weekly exclusively chatted with the actor and musician about a potential collaboration with his mom, Rita Wilson. Chet — who has released music under the pseudonym “Chet Haze” — initially joked that he couldn’t “afford” to make a track with his mom. (While primarily known for her acting, Wilson, 69, has also released five studio albums as a singer-songwriter.)
Chet Hanks is sharing a glimpse into his childhood being raised by parents Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. During the Tuesday, July 23, episode of MTV’s Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, Chet, 33, thought he was participating in an innocent game of uno with his housemates. The conversation, however, quickly turned into the cast discussing […]
“I’d probably have to sign my life away,” he joked to Us at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammys Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 31.
Pressed on what kind of music they might make together, Chet hinted, “I don’t know, maybe we’ll have to do, like, a really ratchet, like, strip club song or something, I don’t know. You never know. I think she’s got it in her.”
Chet is one of Tom’s four children. The Da Vinci Code actor shares his eldest son, Colin Hanks, and daughter, Elizabeth Ann “E.A.” Hanks, with his first wife, Samantha Lewes, and welcomed Chet and his brother Truman Hanks with Wilson.

Shia LaBeouf has once again been arrested in New Orleans in connection with an alleged Mardi Gras-related incident.
The Associated Press reported on Saturday, February 28, that LaBeouf, 39, was arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of misdemeanor simple battery. This charge is related to his previous arrest on two counts of battery for allegedly striking an unidentified victim multiple times while being escorted out of a New Orleans restaurant on February 17.
The incident allegedly occurred at the Royal Street Inn & R Bar, near New Orleans’ French Quarter, where LaBeouf allegedly had a confrontation with multiple people during Mardi Gras festivities.
His attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, told the Associated Press that LaBeouf voluntarily turned himself in at the Orleans Parish jail after learning that a new arrest warrant was issued on Friday, February 27.
Hours after being arrested following an alleged Mardi Gras party fight, Shia LaBeouf returned to the New Orleans festivities. According to photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, February 17, LaBeouf, 39, was spotted holding a plastic cup of what seemed to be beer as he stood watching the annual celebration alongside fellow partygoers. […]
“No regular person would be required to post over $100,000 in bonds, and be jailed two separate times for one misdemeanor incident,” Chervinsky told the outlet. “Just as he does not deserve preferential treatment, Mr. LaBeouf also does not deserve to be treated more harshly by the police and courts just because he is a public figure.”
Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for LaBeouf and the New Orleans Police Department for comment.
Following his arrest on February 17, LaBeouf appeared in court that same day and now has a pretrial hearing set for Thursday, March 19. He was advised by the judge to return to drug and alcohol rehabilitation during his initial court appearance. (LaBeouf has yet to enter a plea for any of the three pending charges.)
The Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull actor — who has had multiple run-ins with the law over the years — initially responded to his arrest by tweeting “free me” hours after the alleged Mardi Gras altercation.
He has since sat down for an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, which was released Saturday, where he responded to his arrest by saying it’s “not nice to hurt people ever.”
“It’s f***ing lame,” he insisted. “People got hurt, I got to deal with that. I’mma deal with that in full. I’ll eat it all. It’s on me. I f***ed up.”

LaBeouf said he’d relocated from Los Angeles to New Orleans because he’d “failed [in his] marriage” to Mia Goth but admitted he’d “hit a roadblock” with this latest setback. (Goth, 32, and LaBeouf were together on an off from 2012 to 2025.)
“I was drunk, and then I felt infringed upon, like, in terms of my proximity,” the former Even Stevens star explained. “I wasn’t in my right mind, so it’s on me. … It was probably just my fault, for, somewhere. I don’t know how, but I’m going to figure it out.”
He then dismissed the idea of going to rehab, saying, “My behavior? Bulls***. I gotta deal with it. Does that mean I got to go to rehab again? I’m just not into it, bro. I don’t think my answers are there, I don’t. If I genuinely did, I’d go. I don’t think I have a drinking problem. I think I have a different problem, and I’m going to address it.”
Former Disney Channel child star Christy Carlson Romano is seemingly no longer keeping up with her former TV brother Shia LaBeouf in light of his recent arrest. “When they ask you about your old costar, but you’ve stopped ‘inserting yourself,’” Romano, 41, wrote over an Instagram video shared Wednesday, February 18. In the footage, Romano […]
As for why the Mardi Gras incident occurred, LaBeouf suggested that he has “a small man complex” which is “something that has to do with anger and ego more so than my drinking.”
“What kind of things set off that anger? I mean, boy, I haven’t experienced that for a while, but I’ll be honest with you, big gay people are scary to me,” he told Channel 5 News. “When I’m standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared. I’m sorry if that’s homophobic, then I’m that. It just happened one time, [and] that’s why I got arrested.”
LaBeouf ultimately admitted that he was “wrong for touching anyone ever.”
“That’s the end of my statement on this whole s***,” he insisted.

Whew! Things reportedly went left in a Texas relationship — and it all allegedly started over a phone. Authorities in Texas say Terriana Johnson is now facing serious charges after an argument with her boyfriend escalated inside their Waco home. What police claim happened next has social media talking, and it’s definitely not your average lovers’ quarrel.

According to jail records reviewed by Law & Crime, Terriana Johnson has been charged with aggravated assault and was booked into the McLennan County Jail on Thursday. The incident reportedly took place on Wednesday at a residence on the 1900 block of South 5th Street in Waco, where Johnson and her boyfriend of about one year were living.
Police say the boyfriend was in the shower when Johnson allegedly walked in yelling at him. After he got out, he reportedly saw her coming out of the kitchen, holding three knives. Authorities claim she approached him and said, “I’m going to cut you if you don’t give me your f— phone.”
Argument Escalates, Knives Allegedly Pulled
Furthermore, according to the arrest affidavit, the boyfriend grabbed bed sheets in an attempt to shield himself, but Johnson allegedly cut him on the arm. He then ran to a neighbor’s home for help, and officers were called to the scene. When police arrived, Johnson reportedly claimed her boyfriend had taken her phone and pushed her to the ground — though officers noted she had no visible injuries.
Suspect Denies Knowledge, Posts Bond
The boyfriend later told officers that Johnson stabbed him, and police say they observed a cut on his left arm. When asked about the injury, Johnson allegedly said she did not know what happened. She also reportedly told officers she had scissors in her hand during the altercation “to cut the sheets.” Johnson was arrested and later released on a $10,000 bond, according to jail records.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Sometimes the old phrase, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” isn’t right for every situation. After the success of Hijack’s first season on Apple TV, the streamer naturally tried to replicate that same white-knuckle, high-stakes adventure for a Season 2. Unfortunately, Hjack sacrifices dramatic storytelling for action.
The Idris Elba-led drama had a unique Season 1, depicting a hijacking high in the sky, essentially giving an hour-by-hour adrenaline rush as help from the ground and Sam Nelson in the sky try to save the lives of everyone on board and in London. It worked as a novel idea at first, but then transporting the action below ground on a vehicle that has the ability to stop and start, and using Sam as part of the plot, simply didn’t work. Hijack simply didn’t need a Season 2.
Apple TV’s Thriller ‘Hijack’ Relied Too Much on Its Title for Season 2
The anticipation of a follow-up season was understandable, as the question of how one man could find himself in yet another hijacking was intriguing. Then, the big twist came at the top of the season, revealing that Sam Nelson was hijacking the U-Bahn train in Germany. As Season 2 trudged along, it became clear that it was much more complicated than that. It was just a facade. The reason? It was part of an act of revenge.
Because the premise of Hijack is about a hijacking, rather than making the series a brilliant one-off, Hijack returned with the hopes that a second hijacking experience would be equally gripping. With this plot for Season 2, the series didn’t need to come back. If it was desperate to bring Elba back, the series could have explored the same aftermath of revenge on John Bailey-Brown (Ian Burfield) for the death of his son, sans hijacking. Hijack was a bit too beholden to its title.
The intriguing element of Season 2 is watching a man on a mission of revenge. In a sense, it mirrors the hijackers’ actions in Season 1, who sought to fulfill their retribution. The difference is in perspective. Sam is seen as a hero, while the Season 1 hijackers were painted as villains, despite similar objectives. Had Hijack removed the underground hijacking, allowing Sam to embark on his journey like an action hero, we would understand it as still part of the Hijack universe. The show should be about Sam, not literal hijacking.
Idris Elba’s Apple TV Thriller ‘Hijack’ Worked in the Sky, but Not Underground
Lest we forget, Hijack offers action through scenes featuring those aiding Sam in stopping the events. Both seasons integrated multiple off-site scenes, from control rooms to homes, but the subplots this season, including Marsha Smith-Nelson’s (Christine Adams) woods ordeal, messed with the pacing as well. Plus, the German allies working on tracking the U-Bahn lack the heroism we saw from the likes of Alice Sinclair (Eve Myles), the humble air traffic controller. The energy and stakes are sadly not at the peak of Season 1.
The first season was extremely gripping because not only was the hijacking in the sky, but it was a literal non-stop adventure released almost in real time. Yes, Season 2 is a multi-hour expedition, but with the underground train able to stop and start. With many individuals able to affect its movement, the action no longer feels as high-stakes as it once did. There are bombs attached to carriages and some shady individuals who are on board to cause a stir, but it’s not nearly as captivating as a flying vehicle with a bevy of hijackers on board.
Even though the plane in Season 1 was massive, it was much more contained than the multi-carriage U-Bahn, where movement from train car to train car isn’t as unifying for passengers. The slower pace of Season 2 made the action dwindle, and by the end, it becomes crystal clear that Idris Elba’s thrilling Apple TV series should’ve stayed in the air.

The Disney alum is reportedly hopping on a project from CBS Studios as an executive producer, marking a new vibe from her “toxic mom group” drama.
Ashley Tisdale’s “toxic mom group” story, which debuted on “The Cut” onthe first day of the year, has also captured the attention of a few prominent studios across Hollywood, which are looking to adapt her experience for the screen.

Inside Ashley Tisdale’s Upcoming Project
The comedy flick titled “You’re Only Young Twice” will be a multi-camera project, written by Tommy Johnagin, and will tell a story of Tisdale’s character, Emily and Alex, who got pregnant and subsequently married in high school.
Years later, the couple is now 35 and has sent their kid to college, which also means they can get divorced and pursue the lives they want while they are still young.
The movie follows Emily and Alex through different phases, including dating, co-parenting, and a second chance to make things work between them.

As noted by Deadline, the media personality and Johnagin will work alongside Mandy Summers to bring the movie to life. Tisdale has had several movie projects up her sleeve, including the 2020 sitcom “Carol’s Second Act,” “Hellcats,” “Merry Happy Whatever,” and a voice-over gig on “Phineas and Ferb.”

Hollywood Directors And Producers Are Reportedly Keying Into The Disney Alum’s Story
The controversy that broke out over her thought-provoking piece on “The Cut” seemingly sowed the seeds for a broader creative perspective among producers and directors in the industry.
As noted by The Blast, the insider explained that some major production companies are keen to leverage Tisdale’s expertise in acting and producing to express interest in collaborating with her to adapt the story into a movie.
In her story, Tisdale revealed that she had joined a mom group after welcoming her babies, hoping to find a community of like-minded women, including her celebrity friends such as Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore.
Unfortunately, she began to be intentionally excluded from social gatherings, prompting her to send a final message to the group to end the drama.

Ashley Tisdale On The Advantage Of Living Life Offline
The actress typically dealt with the unhealthy dynamics on social media by constantly clocking out. According to her, while she loves social media in ways that can be inspiring, funny, and keep her connected, she also understands that she is not meant to live her entire life online.
The Blast reported that the actress noted that taking time off the internet often feels like a reminder to live in the moment instead of living on the edge, looking for what to post and how to stay on trend.

Tisdale added that being online constantly put her in an unhealthy state of alertness, rather than allowing her to experience moments naturally. She recalled the first time she took time off social media, stressing that it helped give her the gift of perspective, where she could still care and stay informed, but on her own terms.
“You can open your phone without thinking and suddenly be absorbing outrage and fear, usually without looking for it,” the actress stated about how overwhelming a constant stream of information can be.
Hilary Duff Blamed Social Media For Escalating The ‘Toxic Mom Group’ Story
One of the celebrities identified in the article reacted to the claims, noting that while she is not a stranger to online controversies, social media fans made the situation worse with half-baked stories, lies, and clickbait.
Duff addressed an allegation about how none of the moms at school like her, nor do the teachers, clarifying that she loves all the women at school. Although Duff tried to defend herself against fans’ speculation, her estranged sister, Haylie, was on Tisdale’s support team and even liked her article on “The Cut.”
Haylie went ahead and shared a picture of her daughter and Tisdale’s kid on a playdate, which earned a repost from the “High School Musical” star.

Ashley Tisdale Was Dragged By Hilary Duff’s Husband
The 40-year-old did not receive uniform support from Duff’s camp, as her husband, Matthew Koma, took to social media to tag the actress self-obsessed and tone-deaf.
Another insider noted that the movie star herself is an insufferable person, and the split between her and her group of friends has been a long time coming. Tisdale’s conduct brought back memories of her alleged reaction to victims of a car crash she was involved in back in Los Angeles in 2022.
The legal dispute was between her and a woman named Liza Gonzalez, in which the lawyer representing her claimed she was extremely rude during her interaction with the plaintiff and avoided accountability.
During the time of the collision, Gonzalez revealed that she sustained injuries to her shoulders, neck, back, and left wrist, which she informed a dismissive Tisdale at the time. The attorney added that Tisdale’s husband also became involved in the case and went so far as to release the plaintiff’s private information online.
Shia LaBeouf is reportedly not to blame for his split with Mia Goth. The pair separated last year after an on-and-off relationship spanning 13 years.
Now, those within the actor’s circle have claimed that he did his best to save his relationship with Goth, contrary to claims from those close to his estranged wife that he was at fault.
The reports come after Shia LaBeouf was involved in an altercation at the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans.

Shia LaBeouf And Mia Goth’s Marriage ‘Just Didn’t Work Out,’ A Source Reveals
Shia LaBeouf’s relationship with Mia Goth has continued to make headlines following a recent report that they went their separate ways quietly last year.
While initial claims pointed to LaBeouf being at fault for the split, his close circle has now refuted the allegations, per TMZ.
According to a source, the relationship between the duo “just didn’t work out,” adding that LaBeouf wasn’t to blame.
Even with the relationship being over, LaBeouf is said to be committed to raising their daughter, Isabel, whom they welcomed in 2022.
Sources also say LaBeouf has stayed actively involved in their child’s life, even while living in New Orleans, and was reportedly fully present and hands-on while Goth was busy with work commitments.

The Actor Reportedly Tried His Best To Salvage Their Relationship
A close source of LaBeouf also claimed that not only was he not at fault for the end of the relationship, but he also did everything he could to save it.
The source said LaBeouf even tried various approaches, including taking vacations and even exploring religion, in the hope that Goth would be persuaded to stay.
However, every step forward felt like “ten steps back” during those attempts, as while Goth cared for LaBeouf, she ultimately didn’t want to be married to him.
One other insider close to Goth then insisted that LaBeouf was the problem, citing his drinking issues as a key factor in his relationship breaking up.
They also claimed that Goth didn’t believe the actor was ready or able to address his personal challenges and grow as a person.

Mia Goth Is Hopeful That Shia LaBeouf Will Seek Rehabilitation

The actor was arrested after he was involved in an altercation outside of a local bar.

The actor was then taken away by ambulance and was later charged with two counts of simple battery, which is generally classified as a misdemeanor.
The incident caused LaBeouf to be criticized by netizens, with many calling on him to take accountability and stop drinking.

The Actor Was Recently Seen Getting Handsy With A Mystery Woman
Although sources claim LaBeouf still has love for his estranged wife, Goth, the actor seems to also be moving on romantically, as he was getting very cozy with a woman at a bar shortly after his Mardi Gras arrest.
According to a video obtained by TMZ, LaBeouf appeared to be in a happy mood as he flirted while standing hand in hand with the woman on a balcony overlooking the bar.
The woman at some point placed her hand on the actor’s chest while smiling up at him. He then leaned down to whisper to her before kissing her on the lip.
LaBeouf and the mystery lady were said to have locked lips several times and were locked in an embrace all through the night.

Another Arrest Warrant Was Obtained In Shia LaBeouf’s Case
After his arrest, LaBeouf was released on his own recognizance. However, at his initial court hearing, Judge Simone Levine set a $100,000 bond after being unimpressed by his drug and alcohol test results.
The judge also ordered LaBeouf to enter rehab, submit to frequent impairment testing, and stay away from the individuals he assaulted, as well as the locations of the incidents.
He is expected to return to court on March 19, though he could be required to appear sooner, as a new arrest warrant has been issued for him.
This is in connection with a third victim allegedly assaulted by the actor at the same Mardi Gras incident.
