10 Most Disturbing Movies Without Extreme Violence, Ranked
Obviously, one reliable way to make a movie disturbing is by showing violence in a rather unflinching way, and having that violence look realistic. It’s not the only way, by any means; just a reliable one. Look at something like Cannibal Holocaust, or more recently, Bone Tomahawk. And those are just horror movies that feature cannibalism! A small slice of the overall violence-flavored pie, when you think about all the horrible and confronting ways characters have themselves been sliced up (or had other things happen to them) on screen.
Movies that manage to disturb or challenge in some way without much by way of on-screen violence are highlighted below. Some imply violence, and some feature confronting visuals for sure, just not particularly violent things in the traditional sense. And further, some other films below are more intense and anxiety-provoking than outright disturbing, or otherwise function more as thrillers or heavy dramas rather than being disturbing movies that belong within the horror genre.

‘Boiling Point’ (2021)
Boiling Point might’ve walked so that The Bear could run, or that might be a fair thing to say if Boiling Point wasn’t much better (and also a good deal more intense) than The Bear. Why compare a movie and a TV show? Well, they’re both about people getting stressed while working in a kitchen. And The Bear had that episode which was filmed in one take, and done in real-time, which is how Boiling Point is presented, but feature-length.
You will feel on edge for 92 minutes, and then maybe a few more minutes (or even hours) after that, since Boiling Point and some of the particularly unpleasant scenes found within linger. You’re left feeling like you’ve watched something violent, since it’s that intense, though Boiling Point isn’t violent, unless shouting and swearing count as forms of violence, as there are a lot of both those things here.

‘The Night of the Hunter’ (1955)
To put it bluntly, The Night of the Hunter is a pretty wild film. It was a directorial debut by Charles Laughton, best known for being an actor, and was, in the end, the only feature film he ever directed. It’s also ahead of its time in how offbeat and unsettling it is, with it being simultaneously one of the most over-the-top and unsettling of all the movies that somewhat fit within the confines of the film noir genre (and it’s also a lot more than just a film noir movie).
It’s about a serial killer pursuing a couple of kids, basically, because he’s after some money he thinks they know the location of. It might’ve felt shocking for its time in a Psycho sort of way, violence-wise, but The Night of the Hunter implies more and shows less than that (admittedly infrequently violent) movie. It manages to feel more nightmarish than almost any other film of its era, all the while having to abide by the sorts of restrictions U.S. movies had to at that point in time.
8
‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ (2013)
On the topic of unexpectedly unsettling movies, here’s Inside Llewyn Davis. No, hear this out. Please. It’s an almost darkly funny movie at times, in that Coen Brothers way, but it’s also very depressing and has a bit of a Kafkaesque feel, with things going from bad to worse and then from worse to worst. Gradually. And to someone who isn’t exactly sympathetic, but still feels unluckier than just about anyone actually deserves. It ends up being incredibly sad, in a pretty visceral way.
It’s like a slightly more subdued A Serious Man, which has a similarly odd tone, and a narrative about someone having a generally bad time with life. Inside Llewyn Davis does that in the folk scene, set in the 1960s, and has an ending that makes the whole film feel like some kind of potential purgatory, which adds to the (okay, mostly subdued) horror/unease of the whole thing.
7
‘La Dolce Vita’ (1960)
La Dolce Vita eventually goes to dark and depressing territory, even if it starts out more like a comedy, or at least a work of satire, and all done on a grand scale, too. It’s about a journalist drifting through life and not finding much by way of genuine connections with people or good stories to cover, and things gradually get more desperate in a few different ways as things go on.
On top of that, there’s also a subplot that ends in a more outwardly tragic way, and then as far as the main character’s plight is concerned, the whole movie ends on an uncertain and more or less apathetic note. You’re not left feeling comfortable once La Dolce Vita is over, to put it mildly, even if parts of the movie are engaging, or even somewhat entertaining and (darkly) funny.
6
‘All That Jazz’ (1979)
It’s a musical all about working oneself to death, basically. That’s why All That Jazz is here. It’s heavy stuff, especially because you wouldn’t usually expect musicals to also function as bleak psychological dramas. In an even more twisted way, the musical numbers in All That Jazz increase in theatricality the more hopeless the movie gets (namely, right towards the end).
That might sound like spoiling things a little, but All That Jazz is the kind of thing where the ending feels inevitable in more ways than one. And for what it’s worth, some musicals are violent, and All That Jazz… well, it’s not violent, but there is some stuff involving open-heart surgery that’s surprisingly gruesome, in terms of medical imagery, so if that counts as blood or gore in some kind of way, then sure, All That Jazz is gruesome. Just not traditionally violent.
5
‘The Wages of Fear’ (1953)
Roy Scheider was in All That Jazz, and he also starred in Sorcerer. What’s Sorcerer got to do with this ranking? It doesn’t earn a place here, that’s for sure, because it’s kind of violent in parts. But it was a remake of a movie called The Wages of Fear, and that movie was less graphic overall, even if both told the same sort of story: there are some men assigned to drive explosive material through incredibly rough terrain.
The Wages of Fear has to be given credit for feeling disturbing and unbelievably intense without much by way of actually depicted violence.
The Wages of Fear has some death, or at least the constant threat of it, just more implied or with violent things happening off-screen, for the most part, instead of being shown in more graphic detail like in Sorcerer. The remake is arguably bleaker and more intense because it doesn’t limit itself in terms of what it’s willing to show, but The Wages of Fear does still have to be given credit for feeling disturbing and unbelievably intense without much by way of actually depicted violence.
4
‘Oppenheimer’ (2023)
An epic movie largely set during World War II, or at least consistently concerning the events of said conflict, Oppenheimer doesn’t show any combat scenes, since it’s more focused on the story surrounding the construction of the atomic bomb. It also notably did this without showing the effects of either of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki toward the war’s conclusion, keeping things more internal/psychological and overall focused on J. Robert Oppenheimer.
You still feel the weight of what happened, and Oppenheimer does explore the aftermath of the weapons being used, including by way of grappling with the fear of further nuclear weapons being used in war that’s naturally continued to be pervasive worldwide since 1945. It’s not a very fun epic movie, that’s for sure, though it is easy to admire how intense it manages to be without showing any truly graphic images (outside some brief and kind of surreal visions Oppenheimer sees during one particularly tense sequence that occurs after he gives a speech).
3
‘Vortex’ (2021)
Vortex is particularly interesting to look at within the context of Gaspar Noé’s filmography, since the director is no stranger to making confronting movies, but most of those confronting movies of his have infamously violent imagery. Also, Vortex stars Dario Argento, and he’s pretty well-known for his violent movies, as he’s specialized in directing within the horror genre, and, more specifically, giallo movies.
But Vortex is upsetting and confronting without violence. It’s about an elderly couple whose lives are spiraling downward because one of them is experiencing the effects of dementia, and then the other’s got different health concerns. It’s got that slow crawl toward inevitable tragedy that you also find in the aforementioned All That Jazz. Also, it’s nearly 2.5 hours long, and it manages to feel some kind of disorientating and/or distressing for pretty much every second of its runtime.
2
‘Christiane F.’ (1981)
Since it’s an unflinching look at drug use and addiction, there’s some upsetting imagery in Christiane F., though it’s not violent imagery in the traditional sense. It’s not for the faint of heart in any event, though it’s just a stretch to say violence is a primary reason why it’s up there among the most confronting movies of all time.
There are other movies about similar subject matter that are also confronting, but the ones equally hard-hitting to Christiane F. have at least some genuinely violent imagery (there’s more by way of violent crime shown in the likes of Requiem for a Dream and Trainspotting, for example). Christiane F. isn’t lacking in other things, though, when it comes to being upsetting. It’s one of the most difficult movies out there to watch and actually finish, but for good reason.
1
‘The Zone of Interest’ (2023)
Movie ratings are strange, because The Zone of Interest is PG-13, and PG-13 movies tend to be teen-friendly, or sometimes even okay for even younger viewers (like, the vast majority of superhero movies are PG-13). Yet The Zone of Interest is one of the bleakest and most challenging movies of the decade so far, at least out of all those that got a relatively wide release and a good deal of attention.
It’s about the Holocaust, and the family of the commandant of Auschwitz living right outside said concentration camp, all the while trying to ignore the atrocities happening there. And the movie conveys this by also not showing anything on screen. Terrible things are heard (and some other adult content is suggested, rather than outright shown), but it’s technically not a violent movie. It’s about violence, or the ignorance of it. Or the way people can drown it out, if they so desire, and maybe that’s even more troubling than any other approach this film could’ve taken.

Gavin Newsom To Pete Hegseth
You Blew $93 Billion In Taxes On Steak, Lobster & Crab!!!
Published

Updated
Gavin Newsom is having some fun at the expense of Pete Hegseth, slamming the Department of War Secretary for going on a $93 billion taxpayer-funded spending spree to buy pricey steaks, lobsters and crabs.
The California Governor, and likely 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, ripped Hegseth for his lavish spending habits during the last month of the fiscal year in September 2025, according to government watchdog Open the Books. The watchdog highlighted that Hegseth’s bulk purchases were the largest of any federal agency since 2008.
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
As a result, Newsom’s press office took a monster-size shot at Hegseth, writing in all caps on X Tuesday, “HEGSETH BLOWING $93 BILLION OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS IN 1 MONTH !!”
Newsom also gave Hegseth crap about his shopping binge after the Fort Worth Star-Telegram/TNS posted an AI image of Hegseth kicking back while surrounded by lobster tail, ribeye steak and Alaskan king crab.
Breaking it all down, the Department of War reportedly spent $6.9 million on lobster, $15.1 million on steak, and $2 million on crab. The agency also splurged on a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s residence.
We reached out to The Department of War for comment … so far no word back.

‘Shrinking’ Star Luke Tennie Reacts to Episode 7’s Heartbreaking Loss and How It Changes Everything for Sean
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Shrinking Season 3, Episode 7.]For three seasons on the Apple TV series Shrinking, Sean (Luke Tennie) has gone from being a client in need of some unconventional therapy from Jimmy (Jason Segel) to a close friend that’s part of a found family that will never let him stop evolving. As he sorted through his own feelings, Sean reconnected with Marisol (Isabella Gomez), made amends for being a jerk, and rekindled their relationship in a much healthier way. Along with helping to guide his friend Jorge (Trey Santiago-Hudson) while he sorts out his own stuff, Sean has found strength in pursuing his dreams.
During this one-on-one interview with Collider, Tennie discussed the upward trajectory of his acting career, also playing characters in Abbott Elementary and The Pitt, how being a former football player is reflected in his current roles, what he’s most proud of when it comes to Sean’s journey, getting to a good place with Alice (Lukita Maxwell), the fun of getting to sing and play guitar with the ensemble cast, and how that shocking final moment of episode seven is going to have a ripple effect.
Collider: As much as I love the scenes that Sean and Jimmy share, and that Sean and Derek share, I also love the moments that Sean has had with Paul. How does it feel to be in a moment in your life and career where you can have Harrison Ford say things to you like, “Don’t be a hug bitch”?
LUKE TENNIE: I don’t know where my career is going from here. I don’t know what I’m going to do. It kind of seems like it’s done. I’m just getting started, but if this is not a peak, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s great, and not just Harrison, but every single cast member on the entire show. With Lukita [Maxwell] and Rachel [Stubington] and Isabella [Gomez] and Trey [Santiago-Hudson], who plays Jorge, I feel like I get to be a part of people who will be stars. And then, obviously, I get to be a part of people who’ve been stars. So, it’s a really exciting position to be in on Shrinking, at this time in my career. No matter where I look, in the next five years or in the past, there’s a bunch of excellent artists who I can say, “Hey, I know that person,” and that’s pretty cool.
Luke Tennie Just Wants To Continue To Elevate the Quarterbacks He’s Supporting in ‘Shrinking,’ ‘Abbott Elementary’ and ‘The Pitt’
“Maybe one day, I’ll be a quarterback, but for right now, I’m blocking, and I’m blocking well and hard.”
You’re doing this TV series with Harrison Ford, and you’re popping up over at Abbott Elementary. And then, two hit TV shows aren’t enough for you, so you also doing The Pitt. How exciting is it to be doing three hit TV shows all at once? When you go from Shrinking to Abbott to The Pitt, do you realize just how important an ensemble is that really clicks and finds that magic?
TENNIE: You found it. There’s the secret. A lot of people take certain things for granted as performers. I’m comfortable saying, you know the idea that there are no small parts? That’s not necessarily true. I think there are small parts, and there’s a reason for it. I am a supporting actor. That is what I do. I do it well. I used to play football. And for me, to act as though my position on the offensive line is the same as a wide receiver or a quarterback, no, I block a block for the quarterback. I feel like I get to continue to block for all these different quarterbacks. And when I say quarterback in the metaphor that I’m using, I’m talking about people who are multi-hyphenates. Look at Jason [Segel]. He’s a writer, executive producer and star. Look at Quinta [Brunson]. She’s a writer, executive producer and star. Look at Noah [Wyle]. He’s a writer, executive producer and star.
I am blocking for these quarterbacks, and they’re just like, “Hey, man, I’ll have this guy come back for me.” For me, it’s an honor to be in a position where I am playing a supporting part. Every time I step onto the set, it’s for me to support. It’s an honor and a privilege for me, and I take it very seriously because the positions that I’m put in right now are to elevate these quarterbacks in a specific way. Maybe one day, I’ll be a quarterback, but for right now, I’m blocking, and I’m blocking well and hard. I couldn’t be happier. I’m also on the same lot. All these shows shoot at Warner Bros. I know everybody now. I know where the gym is at. I know how to get to the parking lot. I know where the sun sets in the best spot. I’ve been working there all year. By the time I get back to Shrinking, ideally, I’ll be warm, ready, still on the lot, hyping, and ready to go.
I love that Sean has gone from being lost, to running a food truck, to being in this romantic relationship with Marisol, to now pursuing even bigger dreams as a chef. How are you most proud of Sean and who he has become since he started on the show?
TENNIE: That’s connected to your first point about this ensemble. There is no way that Sean would have access to any of that without the other characters. He wouldn’t have the truck if it wasn’t for Liz. Liz wouldn’t have had the money for the truck if it wasn’t for Derek. Sean never would have had the idea to start the truck if he wasn’t at the art gallery with Gaby. And Gaby was the person who make sure that Sean had a therapist, in Jimmy. It’s all connected. All this growth and opportunity that Sean is having is because of the environment that he’s in and all these people just saying, “Oh, can I help here? Can I help there?” And Sean wouldn’t have the truck if it wasn’t for Alice invoking the stones, so that he could get it from Liz and Derek. It’s all connected in such a beautiful way.
‘Shrinking’ Season 3 Review: One of Apple TV’s Best, Most Heartfelt Comedy Series Should End Here
Will this be the last we see of Jimmy and his found family?
Alice and Sean have really been able to talk things out together this season. I love the moment that they have in episode five when Alice reminds Sean that she tried to kiss him and she tells him that they’ve both been hiding from the world because of what they’ve been through. What was that scene like to share with Lukita Maxwell and how did it feel to really get them to that place, especially since it has been a journey to get there?
TENNIE: Yeah, it’s been a long time coming. In Shrinking, we see a lot of balance in relationships. There are mirrors that Bill [Lawrence], Brett [Goldstein] and Jason [Segel], and the rest of the other writers nail. If you remember the speech that Jimmy gave to Liz about, “You’re unforgiven. You’re banned from my house,” I love that speech because it’s incredible. You can see the other side of that from Liz’s perspective, as these characters grow. Sean is somebody who’s been on the older end of that relationship with Alice and hasn’t really experienced a real check from her, and he maybe took for granted the fact that he’s got a couple of years on her and thinking that there’s only learning happening in one direction. When she then schools him, he’s got to either live up to it or let his ego take over. I think that Sean is mature enough at this point to begin participating in his life and join Alice in not hiding anymore, which is a really cool thing to see.
The Ensemble Scenes in ‘Shrinking’ Often Feel Like Big Holiday Gathering Moments
“It should feel like a family reunion.”
I also loved the moment in episode seven with everyone around the piano singing together and you’ve got a guitar. What was it like to have a moment like that where you guys are all together and singing, and then you also throw in some laughs with Cobie Smulders singing so off key?
TENNIE: That’s our show. That’s Shrinking. All these little scenes build up to when the family gets together again for those big scenes. For a lot of people, that’s how life is punctuated. A lot of people don’t have those families to connect with over the holidays. The reality is, when the family is together in a healthy moment, that’s what can punctuate a lot of people’s lives throughout the year, and that’s how the show is punctuated. We’ll have these two people over here, and these two people there, and then every once in a while, you’ll see everyone together again. When viewers see that on Shrinking, it should feel like Thanksgiving, it should feel like Christmas, it should feel like when everybody gets together on the 4th of July. It should feel like a family reunion, to a degree.
Did you know that song at all? How did you come to play guitar in that scene?
TENNIE: Did I know that song? Have I seen Twilight? Absolutely! I did learn the chords in my trailer for a bit because I said to the director, “Is it cool if I played his guitar?” He was like, “Oh, it’s real cool if you play the guitar. Do you know the chords?” I said, “I just learned them in the trailer.” He said, “If you know the chords, then you can play it.” I was like, “All right, I’m playing it. Let’s play it!” I got to play because I just felt like that would be something that Sean would do. Sean is low-key and understated. He probably would sing if his friends wanted to, but to do something where he gets to hide a little bit, I obsess over the little details. The guitar being in front of you versus singing was one of those things where he got to participate in a low-key way, so I’m glad that they accepted that.
Losing Maya Will Have a Ripple Effect Through the Remainder of ‘Shrinking’ Season 3
“It’s going to change the direction of how they live their lives.”
Along with all the funny this season, there is a serious moment when Gaby learns about the loss of Maya and how that ripples through everyone on the show, including Sean. What is it like to throw Sherry Cola into the mix this season and to have her on the show?
TENNIE: I started following Sherry after I met her on socials. She’s everywhere. She’s in this show, that show, the up show, the down show. She’s everywhere. She’s able to fit into so many different pieces of art because of how versatile she is a performer, but also because of the warmth that she brings to her characters. She was perfect for that part in Shrinking because we knew where it was headed, and it needed to be a lasting impression. Sherry is the performer that can make that happen. The impression that she put on the show will live in Sean and Gaby. It’s going to change the direction of how they live their lives. It’s going to make them pay a lot more attention to how they operate and move through this world where they are aware of how therapy can potentially help people. Her contribution was a lot more than just being funny and witty and warm. It really alters the entire course of a couple of characters on our show. It was a pretty important part to cast. Shout-out to (casing directors) Brett [Benner] and Debby [Romano]. They did it again. They found the perfect performer for the part.

Liza Minnelli says late costar Gene Hackman was 'downright rude' on set of “Lucky Lady”
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Liza-Minnelli-gene-hackman-031026-b42f88cd7dd64bf79020a56ce6823de4.jpg)
Minnelli and Hackman starred alongside Burt Reynolds in the 1975 dramedy, in which their characters form a love triangle.
As a genre, true crime has dominated television for years. Massive documentary hits like Netflix’s Making a Murderer and HBO’s The Staircase proved just how captivated audiences can be by real-life criminal cases. But as the genre has grown more popular, networks and studios have increasingly looked for ways to tell these stories outside the traditional documentary format, creating scripted series that allow writers and actors to explore the personalities and circumstances surrounding the crimes in greater detail.
That was the approach NBC took in 2022 when it teamed up with Blumhouse Television to produce The Thing About Pam, a limited series based on one of the strangest murder cases in recent American history. Rather than presenting the story as a grim procedural, the series leaned into the bizarre nature of the real-life events and the outsized personality at the center of the case. The result was a show that blended crime storytelling with dark humor and an almost Coen Brothers–style sense of absurdity. The tonal gamble didn’t work for everyone, but four years later, The Thing About Pam remains a fascinating look at a real-life story that was already stranger than fiction.
What Is ‘The Thing About Pam’ About?
The Thing About Pam is based on the real-life murder of Betsy Faria (Katy Mixon) in Troy, Missouri, a case that quickly spiraled into one of the most convoluted investigations in recent memory. When Betsy is found stabbed to death in her home in 2011, suspicion immediately falls on her husband, Russ Faria (Glenn Fleshler). Despite a lack of convincing evidence and the fact that he had a strong alibi, Russ is ultimately convicted of the crime, largely due to a deeply flawed investigation.
At the center of the story is Pam Hupp, played by Renée Zellweger, a seemingly friendly acquaintance of Betsy who becomes increasingly entangled in the case. As the investigation unfolds, Pam’s role begins to look far more suspicious than anyone initially realized. Over time, prosecutors and investigators begin uncovering a web of lies and manipulations that point to a far more disturbing truth behind Betsy’s death. The series also features a strong supporting cast, including Judy Greer as prosecutor Leah Askey and Josh Duhamel as defense attorney Joel Schwartz, as the case becomes increasingly bizarre.
From ‘The Sopranos’ to ‘Breaking Bad,’ the 10 Most Ambitious Crime TV Shows, Ranked
These are all-time heavy hitters.
What sets The Thing About Pam apart from most true-crime adaptations is its unusual tone. Rather than presenting the case strictly as a grim procedural, the series often leans into the absurdity of the situation, from the baffling and botched investigation to the unusual personality of Pam herself. That tonal choice set the show apart, in both good ways and bad. At times, it risked feeling like it was adopting the darkly comedic style of shows like Fargo while telling the story of a very real murder. Still, the strange twists of the case, and Pam Hupp’s outsized personality, help explain why the creative team leaned into a more stylized approach. And much of that tone ultimately works because of Renée Zellweger’s bold performance at the center of it all.
Renée Zellweger Delivers One of Her Boldest Performances in ‘The Thing About Pam’
Looking at Renée Zellweger’s impressive resume, it might be surprising that her first real foray into television came through a network true-crime series. But Zellweger herself was introduced to the story of Pam Hupp while listening to Dateline’s popular 2019 podcast of the same name. As she explained in a 2022 interview with Entertainment Weekly, the case was so strange that it immediately drew her in. “You can’t quite believe the facts that surround the case,” she said, describing the story as an “escalating absurdity.” That sense of disbelief ultimately became central to her performance.
Zellweger commits fully to the role, leaning into Pam’s strange blend of seeming totally relatable while also being incredibly manipulative and unpredictable. It’s a performance that feels very different from the other real-life figures she has portrayed in the past, including Judy Garland in Judy, which earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress. Pam Hupp is not a tragic icon or beloved public figure, but someone far messier and far more baffling. That challenge results in a deliberately heightened performance that matches the show’s unusual tone. The Thing About Pam also marked a milestone in Zellweger’s career: not only was it her network TV debut, but she also served as an executive producer, helping shape the tone of the series while anchoring it on screen.
Looking back four years later, The Thing About Pam remains one of the more unusual entries in the ever-growing world of true-crime television. Its willingness to blend dark humor with a real-life murder case remains controversial, but the show’s attempt to capture the bizarre nature of the story, and the odd person at the center, gives it a distinct identity among a crowded field of true-crime adaptations. For viewers who missed it the first time around, the six-episode limited series makes for a quick and compelling binge.

Kandi Burruss & Ex Todd Tucker’s Restaurant On The Hook for Six-Figure Settlement with Ex-Landlord
Kandi Burruss & Ex Todd Tucker’s
Restaurant On The Hook for Six-Figure Settlement!!!
Published
‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Burruss and her estranged husband, Todd Tucker’s business was ordered to cough up $140,000 to their former landlord based on a settlement they reached over the debt … TMZ has learned.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, the former couple’s company, Burruss Tucker Restaurant Group, settled claims over the lease and agreed to pay the landlord $140,509.10 for rent and remediation costs for their restaurant, Blaze Steak & Seafood.
Kandi and Todd’s business had been battling the landlord in court for over a year. The landlord initially claimed Burruss Tucker owed over $200k in back rent and repairs.
The court found that Kandi and Todd’s restaurant had entered into a valid and binding settlement agreement with the landlord to pay the $140K … but the RHOA star’s company denied all allegations of wrongdoing and filed some counterclaims against the landlord over the lease.
Following the back and forth, the court found that the settlement resolved all those claims, and the parties agreed to dismiss them. As a result, the judge said Kandi and Todd were on the hook for $140K owed under the settlement, but everything else was off the table.
Summer House’s Kyle Cooke responded to claims that he cheated on estranged wife Amanda Batula prior to the end of their four-year marriage.
During an appearance on the Tuesday, March 10, episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the host, 57, rehashed how Amanda, 34, said on the reality series last month that “women have been sliding into her DMs to share evidence that you’ve hooked up with them.”
Kyle, 43, responded, “It’s tough. [There’s] so much noise, but I feel bad she’s had to deal with that. Look, I can tell you, I was not, like, physically or emotionally unfaithful.”
Podcaster Danny Pellegrino, who joined Kyle on the WWHL episode, then directly asked him, “What are all these pictures out there then? Why were you getting so close to take pictures with [other women]?”
Summer House star Kyle Cooke is speaking out following his split from wife Amanda Batula. “I think people will be surprised but also happy to see that Amanda and I are in a good spot,” Cooke, 43, told “Hollywood Raw” podcast host Adam Glyn in a video shared via TikTok on Thursday, January 22. “Obviously […]
A blank Kyle replied, “Pictures? I mean, the pictures I’ve seen are with people that are my friends.”
Kyle’s comments come after Us Weekly exclusively reported on Tuesday that the former couple are “on good terms” and “friendly” following their split, which was announced via a joint statement in January. A source told Us that the duo “communicate often about the dogs” they own, Reese and Ryder.
Kyle and Amanda are yet to file for divorce, with a second insider telling Us that they “want to keep a divorce amicable and keep it very mature.”
Summer House star Kyle Cooke made sure to give a shout-out to estranged wife Amanda Batula at the season 10 premiere party, less than one month after the pair announced their separation. “Through all the ups and downs, you stood by my side,” Kyle, 43, shared at the Wednesday, February 3, event after getting emotional […]
One month after the pair’s split was announced, Amanda raised claims of Kyle cheating during an episode of Summer House. “Every time you go out I get DMs telling me that you were up to something suspicious,” she told Kyle. “I don’t even bring them all up to you anymore because it’s just constant.”
The episode also saw a producer ask Amanda if she believed that Kyle had been cheating on her, which drew the response, “I don’t know. I’d like to think not. But he has in the past. There have been plenty of rumors about it. Who knows? Only Kyle.”
Fans have watched the pair’s rollercoaster relationship unfold via the Bravo reality TV show over the years, including 2018’s cheating drama when Kyle confessed to being unfaithful while he was drunk. Amanda forgave Kyle at the time before he proposed to her later that year and they tied the knot in September 2021.
During Kyle’s WWHL appearance, Cohen also quizzed Kyle on Amanda’s Summer House episode quip, aired earlier on Tuesday, which saw her tell the cameras, “Now I can leave him and I got a watch out of it.” (Kyle gifted Amanda a Cartier watch during Tuesday’s episode).
Kyle laughed before responding with, “I did catch that. I mean, look, if we were actually in the process of splitting up last summer, there’s no way she would’ve said that, that was a joke. She earned that [watch]. That was the highlight of my summer, to see her smile … I would’ve bought her three watches if I could just relive that moment.”
