Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez celebrated their union with matching wedding bands.

After Ronaldo, 41, and Rodríguez, 32, showed off their new bling via Instagram on Tuesday, August 11, jewelry expert Laura Taylor, who specializes in engagement rings, opened up to Us about the bands.

“Both appear to have opted for classic polished yellow gold bands with no elaborate detailing, although it is possible that Georgina’s features a small diamond detail,” Taylor, who did not personally design the couple’s wedding bands, speculated. “They’re timeless designs that will never go out of fashion and are made to be worn comfortably every day.” 

Taylor continued, “I’d estimate their wedding bands to be worth between $1,300 to $3,400 each, depending on the gold weight and whether they were custom-made.”

Taylor also gave some insight on why Rodríguez may have been wearing her engagement ring on her right hand as opposed to her left, alongside her massive engagement ring.

“It’s not unusual to see someone with an engagement ring this large wearing it on the opposite hand,” she said. “Very large engagement rings don’t always sit comfortably alongside a wedding band, so many brides choose to wear them separately depending on the occasion.”

Cristiano Ronaldo proposed to Georgina Rodríguez with a colossal engagement ring. After Ronaldo, 40, and Rodríguez, 31, announced their engagement via Instagram on Monday, August 11, fans were starstruck by her dazzling engagement ring, which features a massive rock with side stones set on a silver band. Lorel Diamond’s engagement ring specialist, Laura Taylor, broke […]

Taylor explained that it made “perfect sense” because Rodríguez’s ring is estimated to be around 20 carats and worth $2 million. “With an engagement ring of that size, you don’t need the wedding band competing for attention,” she noted.

Ronaldo and Rodríguez debuted their rings in a sweet pic on Tuesday, which was exactly one year after announcing their engagement. In the photo, Ronaldo rested his hand on top of Rodríguez’s. She wore white, long sleeves and her huge diamond ring on her right hand.

Earlier that day, Us confirmed the couple tied the knot during a civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, attended by their five children.

“C❤️G,” they captioned their joint post. Ronaldo and Rodríguez announced their engagement via Instagram in August 2025. At the time, she hovered her hand over his while relaxing in bed. “I do, in this and in every lifetime of mine,” the model captioned the post.

Prue Leith is opening up about a recent health scare that led to her hospitalization out of fear she was having a stroke.

Leith, 86, recalled experiencing a “migraine attack” during a trip to Yorkshire, England. She detailed the medical scare in a column called “Prue’s News” in The Oldie’s September issue, out Friday, August 14, published in part by The Sun.

The former Great British Baking Show judge noted that while she was confident about having a migraine attack — after years of dealing with the issue — her husband, John Playfair, called an ambulance when her speech turned into an “incomprehensible jumble of disconnected words.”

“It followed a familiar path. First, I can see only half of whatever I’m looking at,” Leith wrote. “This is speedily followed by a bright circle of flickering, coloured lights in the upper right field of vision.”

She noted that usually if she doesn’t “swiftly swallow one of my migraine ‘bombs,’ (paracetamol, ibuprofen and sumatriptan) a crashing headache will follow.”

Leith explained that her husband, however, was convinced she was “having a stroke” when she started to speak in “disconnected words.”

“I tried to tell him it was just a migraine, but I couldn’t string two words together,” she recalled, noting that’s when Playfair called their doctor.

Leith remembered telling the doctor that she could raise her arms and make a fist, insisting nothing hurt and her face wasn’t drooping. The doctor, however, still called an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

“The ambulance man asked me the same questions, as did a nurse on arrival at A&E, and so, after a six-hour wait, did the doctor,” she wrote.

The celebrity chef said she assured the doctor at the hospital that it was a migraine after recovering “coherent speech” by the time they met.

The doctor decided to do a CT scan as an extra precaution.

“Two hours later, I had one, waited another hour for the results, and was released at 2 a.m.,” Leith shared. “[The doctor later] explained why he wanted to refer me for a brain scan, just to be sure (people of my age, 86, are prone to mini-strokes).”

Leith, who revealed she had her first migraine at 9 years old, said, “I knew all along that all I had was a migraine.”

She explained, “But since the speech problem is a classic symptom of a stroke, and my extreme old age being a time when mini-strokes are common, everyone was determined to be safe not sorry.”

Leigh added that she wasn’t upset over her long stay at the hospital, thanking the National Health Service (NHS) personnel for being “cheerful, sympathetic, polite, helpful and professional.”

“You may have to wait forever, but when it is your turn, you are treated as if you were the only patient in A&E,” she concluded.

Perez Hilton’s hospitalization has turned into a far more serious situation than a short medical stay. 

The celebrity blogger is facing the possibility of an extended period of psychiatric care after being hospitalized following a disturbing livestream incident. 

While doctors address his physical injuries, the bigger question now concerns what happens after he is medically discharged. Those close to Hilton fear his recovery could stretch far beyond the immediate aftermath.

Perez Hilton’s hospitalization appears to have opened the door to a much longer recovery process than initially expected. 

The 48-year-old was hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act following a livestream incident that left him needing treatment for “significant” blood loss and other injuries. 

While his immediate medical needs remain a priority, people close to Hilton say the aftermath could be considerably more complicated. 

A friend told the Daily Mail that Hilton understands “something happened” but is currently struggling to fully process it. 

“But he doesn’t have a lot of presence of mind. He’s not able to fully process what happened,” the friend said. 

The same source warned against expecting a quick turnaround, saying, “This is not going to be something where in five days, I’m like, ‘he’s fine,’ This is months, maybe years.” 

Hilton Could Face Several Paths After His Medical Discharge

4

What happens once Perez Hilton is medically stable could depend largely on the psychiatric assessment that follows. 

Under Florida’s Baker Act process, a person can initially be held for evaluation, with a 72-hour assessment period determining what happens next. 

Veteran Florida attorney Mark Astor told the Daily Mail that Hilton would not necessarily simply walk out once that period ends.

“You don’t just get to walk out of there after 72 hours,” Astor shared, adding, “Whether it’s a mental health issue, drugs, or all of the above, they need to get to the bottom of what has happened here. Period.”

Astor outlined several possible outcomes, including the media personality being released, agreeing to remain voluntarily for treatment, or facing a petition for involuntary placement. 

If the latter happens, a judge would become involved, with a hearing generally required within five days. Such proceedings are confidential.

Perez Hilton’s Family Could Have A Major Say In His Next Steps

4

Hilton’s loved ones may also become increasingly important as decisions about his longer-term treatment take shape. 

His mother, Teresita Lavandeira, has reportedly remained by his side at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, while his sister Barbara Giarraffa could also become involved in discussions surrounding his care.

One possibility would be for Hilton’s family to seek placement in a private treatment facility rather than leaving his care entirely within the state system. 

According to Astor, such treatment could cost between $15,000 and $30,000 per month, depending on the facility and level of care.

His relatives could also potentially pursue guardianship, which would allow them to assume greater responsibility for healthcare decisions. 

Astor said cooperation from Hilton could make a transition from state involvement to private treatment easier.

“If he’s willing to get help, great. It’s possible they come to an agreement with the state for what’s known as a bed-to-bed transfer,” he explained.

Hilton’s Mother Files For Temporary Custody Of His Children

4

With Perez Hilton’s recovery expected to take considerable time, attention has also turned to the three children caught in the aftermath of his health crisis. 

As The Blast stated, Hilton’s mother filed for temporary custody of his children in Miami family court on August 7, seeking to provide them with stability following the disturbing livestream incident. 

The children, Mario, Mia, and Mayte, aged 13,11, and 9, respectively, had reportedly been living with their grandmother in Miami after recently relocating to be closer to family. 

According to reports, Hilton’s children, along with his sister and niece, were at his home shortly before the livestream began but left once they realized he was experiencing a severe mental health crisis. 

Lavandeira’s attorney said the custody request was intended to protect the children and give them stability during the situation. 

Hilton has reportedly consented to the arrangement, acknowledging that it is in the best interests of his children. The filing also seeks protections from further media attention, with Lavandeira asking that the case be sealed. 

Jared Padalecki Walks Back Support For Perez Hilton

As Hilton’s family begins making decisions about his care and his children’s future, the fallout from his livestream incident has also prompted an unexpected response from Jared Padalecki. 

The “Supernatural” star initially shared a message of support for Hilton during his mental health crisis, but quickly faced criticism from people who pointed to the blogger’s controversial history of targeting celebrities. 

Padalecki subsequently deleted his original message and offered an explanation, saying he had not known the full extent of the blogger’s past behavior. 

“I simply thought he was a ‘tabloid’ type of sensationalist journalist,” Padalecki said in a tweet, acknowledging that his initial reaction was based on the belief that someone experiencing a serious crisis deserved compassion. 

He stressed that his intention was not to excuse Hilton’s past actions and apologized to anyone who felt hurt by his words. 

Padalecki, who has been open about his own mental health struggles, also urged people to look after themselves and one another.

Trippie Redd is airing out his alleged coparenting issues with his former girlfriend, Coi Leray. The ex-couple share a 1-year-old daughter named Miyoco, who has made several public appearances with her mom. In addition to seemingly calling the ‘No More Parties’ rapper a “female dog,” Redd clapped back at social media users who are telling him to take his grievances off the internet and to the courthouse.

Trippie Red Claims Coi Leray Won’t Let Him See His Daughter, She Teases Music About Her “Ex”

On Tuesday (August 11), Trippie Redd took to X, formerly Twitter, with an offensive comment about not seeing his daughter. He didn’t name Coi Leray in the post, but given the context, X users connected the dots to her.

“Tell that b*tch to tell y’all she won’t let me see my baby 😉 #NDA,” he wrote. The hashtag appears to reference his upcoming album of the same name, which is expected to drop on August 14. 

Meanwhile, it appears Coi Leray hasn’t paid Trippie’s tweet any public attention. Following his initial post, she took to Instagram Stories to repost comments about her latest music snippet, in which also appeared to reference an ex. She did not name said ex.

“Turned my nothing into something, look now everybody love it,” Coi raps in the snippet. How the f**k I do that? Came up straight up out the trenches, manifested all my wishes. Multi-million dollar business, how the f**k I do that? Remember them days when n****s hated, now I’m up they faces changing… Looking back at my ex like damn, how the f**k you do that? Looking back at them texts like damn, why the f**k you do that?”

Rapper Claps Back At X Users Urging Him To Go To Court

On Wednesday (August 12), Trippie Redd circled back to X with more to say about his alleged coparenting issues. He appeared to be clapping back at folks telling him to get offline and go to the courthouse. In the post, he again teased his upcoming album.

“So it’s I don’t wanna see my kid…then when I say I’m kept from seeing my kid it’s y u telling us 🤣 leave me tf alone and yes I’ve been going to court 🥷s #NDA,” Redd wrote.

Meanwhile, it appears that Coi is continuing to stay silent regarding Trippie’s tweets. On Wednesday she shared a photo dump that included at least two photos of Miyoco. Also, on her IG Stories, she shared photos and videos from an abroad trip to Turkey and Istanbul.

Coi Leray Previously Commented On Coparenting With Trippie Redd

Last September, during a sit-down interview with Justin Laboy, Coi Leray shared her regrets about exposing Trippie Redd’s infidelity. She claimed the exposure created more problems with Redd. However, at the time she did it, Leray said she was pregnant, “vulnerable and f**ked up.”

As previously reported, Coi Leray blasted Trippie in Janaury 2025, while being around five months pregnant with Miyoco. She shared a post that said there was “nothing worse than being cheated on,” and added that she wouldn’t wish the feeling on her worst enemy. Leray also dropped a song addressing the situation.

In the interview with Justin Laboy, Coi also said that it was “a hard time to get through.” She also shared that they were new parents trying to figure it out while strictly co-parenting and only communicating about Miyoco.

“We’re not friends. Absolutely not! We just co-parent. If it ain’t about the child, we don’t give a f*** about each other.”

Weeks later, Coi Leray and Justin Laboy had developed a romantic connection that led to a Bahamas date in December. Amid their viral date, Trippie Redd posted an edited photo of Miyoco with face tattoos resembling his. He captioned the post, “#MYTWINNOMATTERWHAT.”

Molly Sims is pulling back the curtain on her journey to the top.

The supermodel recalls the hurdles she faced while trying to pave her way in the modeling industry. Starting young, navigating adulthood, aging in the industry, and going through motherhood, she has a story worth telling.

Molly Sims previously opened up about cracking under the pressure to fit into the picture-perfect model figure after photographers made comments about her body.

5

Sims is a known face on the coveted pages of several fashion magazines, but her professional success did not come easy. The fashionista spent her early days in a small town in Murray, Kentucky, before moving on to chase an academic dream of becoming a lawyer.

She was enrolled at Vanderbilt University studying pre-law when one of her friends introduced her to a professional photographer who took pictures for her modeling portfolio. In no time, Sims was signed by a top-tier agency, dropped out of college, and began her rise to stardom.

The model-turned-actress told US Weekly in an exclusive interview that she faced significant critiques for her physique during her early days in the industry. “Early in my modeling, I was told I was too fat, too thin, too blonde, too tall, too short,” she disclosed, adding that at 21 she was even told her nose was “crooked.”

Sims described the scrutiny she faced as “devastating,” noting the change in the quiet life she knew to the dips and turns of becoming a fashion icon, especially “during a difficult era called ‘heroin chic.’” 

Hard Work, Determination, And A Strong Support System Were Key

5

The Sports Illustrated model revealed that the unwavering support she received from her family helped her through her career. Breaking into tears, Sims recalled how her late mother was there for her at the lowest moments when she felt discouraged.

“I was told that I was never going to make it, that I was never going to be a model,” the supermodel recalled. She also noted that she put in the work to achieve her goals. 

“I wasn’t the prettiest or the thinnest, but I was a worker. I could grind.” In no time, her work ethic paid off, and she kept getting booked all around the world. Now Sims has her husband, crew, her mother’s friends, and friends she’s gained through the acting community as her support system.

Molly Sims Learned To Love Her Body

Looking back, Sims acknowledged the pressure she faced to maintain a certain look and weight in her early modeling days. Not meeting industry standards brought her to tears countless times, and she tried “every diet” to meet those expectations.

The mother of three admitted being told she was too muscular all her life, which led to hating her shoulders and arms no matter what she did.

Evolving from her 20s to her 50s, Sims has a different perspective regarding her physical appearance. She shared that she is not trying to look any younger than she is; rather, she wants to ensure she looks her best at every age. 

The supermodel noted that she would rather be “healthy” than thin, which is a “big mind shift.”  Whether she fits into a size 4 or 12, it doesn’t matter as long as her health is in top shape.

The ‘Las Vegas’ Alum Previously Revealed Extreme Measures She Put Her Body Through

Over a decade ago, Sims sat down for an interview with HuffPost Live, where she detailed the extent to which she went to maintain the model look during her younger days. She shared that she struggled with the pressure to remain a size 0, particularly during preparations for her Sports Illustrated shoots.

Sims disclosed that she went days without eating because it was very difficult to stay within a certain weight bracket. In addition to going on hunger strike for days, she “would go to the ashram, [and] walk 14 miles a day.” 

The actress also shared how she considered going under the knife in her 20s. She disclosed that at 23, she consulted a plastic surgeon and asked whether there was any way to make her calves smaller. The surgeon reportedly sent her home and did not carry out any body-altering procedures on Sims.

Molly Sims Still Makes Jaws Drop On The Runway

Sims turned heads at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show in Miami last June. This marked the first time she walked the show for the brand in over a decade. The 53-year-old supermodel stepped out confidently, showing off her toned body in the swimsuit as she strutted, joining older models like Bethenny Frankel and Stassi Schroeder.

The Blast reported that the actress held her own during the show, appearing completely at ease as she showcased her gorgeous figure while walking in a revealing bikini look. Her long legs, stunning skin, and toned frame stood out beautifully as she posed for photos backstage.

Despite her jaw-dropping look, Sims did not escape the media’s criticism. “Pathetic way to earn a living, but I wish my body looked like hers,” a commenter wrote under her Instagram post. While some internet users noted that she looked amazing, others expressed that they weren’t fans of thong-style swimsuits.

Paris Jackson is opening up about the terrifying moment a friend nearly died after overdosing on drugs that belonged to her. The 28-year-old singer, who has spoken candidly about her past addiction to heroin and alcohol, said she was forced to rely on her first-responder training until paramedics arrived.

Jackson made the revelation during an appearance on Alex Cooper‘s “Call Her Daddy” podcast while discussing “Sirens,” one of the most emotional songs she has written. Despite being told that her quick response may have saved her friend’s life, Jackson admitted the traumatic experience did not immediately lead her to seek sobriety.

5

When Cooper asked Jackson which of her songs had been the most difficult to write, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson pointed to “Sirens.” “Probably ‘Sirens,’ that one’s very emotional. Yeah, that was about a buddy of mine that OD’d on my drugs, and I had to handle that till the paramedics arrived,” she revealed on the episode.

Jackson, who was around 20 years old when the incident occurred in 2018, remembered struggling with the unpredictability of her body’s response during the emergency. “That was scary because in a situation like that, you know, even though I had experience with being a trained first responder, when you go into fight or flight… it’s a gamble of how your brain’s going to react,” she explained. “Just because you know what to do, your brain still might tell you to freeze, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Jackson managed to respond despite that fear and remained with her friend until emergency personnel reached them. “It was definitely a lucky situation, and the paramedics had said… if you had gotten there any later, he either would be dead or brain dead,” she recalled.

Jackson did not publicly identify the friend or disclose additional information about his recovery.

5

Although the near-fatal overdose left a profound impression on Jackson, she admitted that she continued using drugs afterward. “It’s also definitely a testament to the whole, like, it takes what it takes, [because] I still didn’t get sober for another year and a half after that,” she said.

Jackson has since adopted an all-or-nothing approach to protecting her sobriety because she believes using any intoxicating substance could send her back to heroin. “If I have a hit of weed or a drink, I’m gonna go back on heroin,” she stated.

She explained that she initially attempted to stop using harder drugs while continuing to consume marijuana and alcohol. However, she soon recognized that she could not control her use of those substances either.

“If I have a hit of weed or a drink, I’m going to go back on heroin. I realized I couldn’t stop after I’d gotten rid of like some of the harder stuff, and I realized even with weed and alcohol, I was like, I just couldn’t stop, and it was just getting worse,” Jackson said. “I had my breaking point, I had my bottom. It just kind of did it for me.”

The musician celebrated six years of sobriety earlier this year.

Paris Jackson Reveals Her First Engagement Happened While On Drugs

5

Jackson also discussed her romantic history and revealed that her engagement to former bandmate Justin Long was not the first time she had planned to marry. This is also my second engagement that I called off, the first one,” she told Cooper.

Jackson acknowledged that the circumstances surrounding the earlier proposal were complicated because both she and her former partner were using drugs.

“I don’t know if you could count the first one; it was real to me, even though we were strung out on drugs, and the ring was one that he bought with my money without me knowing; it was still like, the love was so real for me in that first one,” she shared. “So this was like, ‘ah, this is the second one.’”

Jackson did not identify the person involved in that first engagement. Her relationship with Long lasted approximately three years before they separated last year, months after he proposed at a theater.

The Singer Explains Why She Ended Her Relationship

5

Jackson admitted there were moments when she considered remaining with Long in hopes that their relationship would eventually improve. However, she said the people closest to her encouraged her to evaluate why she wanted to stay.

“I’m the person that needs to be sure,” Jackson explained. “Even though I have a therapist, like a clinical psychologist, a coach, I have, you know, I have got a whole council of people, friends that know a lot about relationships and all the things that I was going through in life at the time that are like, ‘honey,’ in asking me the right questions of like, ‘why would you stay?’ And my answers weren’t good enough.”

The singer eventually accepted that someone could possess positive qualities without being the right partner for her. “Just because I’ve realized just because someone is a good person doesn’t mean they’re my person,” she said. “And I have to be happy. I realized that my non-negotiables are allowed to be non-negotiables, and if these big major needs are not being met, it doesn’t matter that you’re a good person and you’re not going to cheat on me. That’s not a reason to stay.”

Paris Jackson Still Believes A Loyal Partner Exists

5

Jackson said the dating culture around her may have influenced her tendency to place too much value on basic loyalty within a relationship. “I live in a city where loyalty is not the biggest thing, so sometimes I maybe get it in my head that that’s how most people are,” she shared.

Her perspective began to change after looking at the healthy relationships maintained by men she knows personally. “I have some of the most incredible men in my life that love their wives, that love their kids, that are just such stand-up dudes that would never dream of f-cking that up,” Jackson said.

“So I know that that exists out there,” she continued. “I can examine the evidence and be like, okay, it does exist. This isn’t the one and only person that’s not going to do that to me.”

Spending time alone following the broken engagement has also helped Jackson reconsider what she is willing to accept from a future partner. “I can be a little bit pickier,” she concluded. “The bar can be raised a bit because it’s historically been very low.”

A Minnesota man killed his wife and their 7-year-old daughter as young children gathered at a daycare the couple owned, police said Wednesday (August 12). He also allegedly killed another relative before the Brown Bear Childcare daycare attack, before taking his own life.

Details About The Minnesota Daycare Attack

Hopkins Police said the 41-year-old man fatally shot himself after stabbing his wife and child at their in-home daycare in Hopkins, a suburb of Minneapolis. Some time prior to the daycare attack, authorities believe he also killed a 78-year-old relative at her home.

All six other children who were at Brown Bear Childcare were not physically harmed, authorities said. Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson said that another parent called police after witnessing the attack in the home’s basement while dropping off a child.

“There’s no worse scenario than this, where you drop off your child somewhere you think is safe, and you get that phone call,” Johnson said at a news conference.

Records show the state has licensed the daycare since 2019. It has a capacity of 10 children. It passed compliance requirements during visits in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The brown, two-story house has a mural on the garage door of a tree-lined lake and a moose. Photos on the daycare’s Facebook page show kids playing with toys inside and in the backyard, with colorful decorations and artwork on the walls.

“This is a tragic day and horrific scene for little children to witness, if they did witness this,” Johnson later added.

Johnson said killings are a “rarity” in Hopkins. He added that his officers were shaken by the scene they found inside the home. “I could see on the look on their faces that this was one of those ones that you’ll remember for your entire career, if not life,” Johnson said.

How Did Police Discover The Dead Relative?

More than three hours after the killings, Burnsville Chief Matt Smith said officers were called to a home in his community, 20 miles from Hopkins. Officers found a woman who had been fatally stabbed. He said investigators believe the two tragedies are linked, and that the man had been living at the home of the “close family relative.”

Minnesota police haven’t released any names. Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson said no clear motive had been determined yet and there was no history of police calls to the Hopkins address. Additionally, Johnson said it will take time for authorities to determine the timeline between the killings in Hopkins and Burnsville.

Neighbor Reacts To Daycare Stabbings

Amanda Marx, a nurse who lives across the street, didn’t realize anything was wrong until she noticed police officers trying to break down the home’s front door. She said officers moved behind the house before reappearing and calling for crime scene tape. Later, several young children emerged — one being carried by an officer.

Marx said she and her 7-year-old son always referred to it as the “garage house” due to the colorful mural. The longtime resident said she’d never met the home’s owners. Also, she was unaware they were running Brown Bear Childcare out of the home. She didn’t recall any prior disturbances.

“I’m just trying to figure out how to explain to my 7-year-old why there’s crime scene tape on our deck,” she said.

On this episode of ‘Stepping Into The Shade Room,’ singer and songwriter Keri Hilson is sitting down with host Thembi to discuss the biggest moments of her career, working with Britney Spears, career regrets, her infamous Beyoncé diss track, and her “Rihanna” tattoo. Furthermore, she opens up about why she stepped away from music for over a decade, why she’s returned, a long-awaited collaboration, and more.

Keri Hilson Talks Erasing Her “Rihanna” Tattoo

About four minutes into her sit-down with Thembi, Keri Hilson opened up about lasering off a Rihanna-style tattoo. Specifically, Hilson revealed that she had gotten a tattoo on her neck. But she later erased it because it reminded her of a tattoo on Rihanna.

“It was too close, it was like same place, and same type of thing,” she said, revealing that it was a Roman numeral of her favorite number.  “At the time, it was like, ‘Ahh, she might feel like I’m encroaching on her territory — I don’t like even being an accidental or inadvertent copycat.”

Hilson added that she ended up removing the tattoo “immediately.”

She Also Speaks On Beyoncé Diss

Around the 16-minute mark of the conversation, Hilson opened up about her career regrets. Specifically, she referenced lyrics written for her that appeared to diss Beyoncé. Per PEOPLE, the lyrics were included on Keri Hilson’s 2009 ‘Turnin’ Me On’ remix track, and said Beyoncé needed to “move it to the left.” In April, she told the outlet she was “forced to sing them.”

“I don’t think it really mattered to her like that,” Hilson told Thembi. “And I like to believe that she understands — especially now, that it was not my doing. It was not my idea… I just like to think that she has that kind of vision.” 

Furthermore, Hilson explained that she’s never personally tried to reach out to Bey.
