Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 13.9-1-1 has had an elephant in the firehouse for quite some time now. This elephant is shaped like a pair of best friends who are deeply attached to each other, can’t ever seem to make their romantic relationships work, and have essentially been raising a kid together for the better part of the show. This week’s episode, Season 9, Episode 13, “Mother’s Boy,” promised an installment that would finally properly focus on both Buck (Oliver Stark) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman), and that would give them space to exist together away from the firefighting world.
Sure, the promo for this episode teased that they would get into a car accident, in which Buck would be abducted, and Eddie would be left in a hospital room by himself to worry about him. Still, though, it looked like “Mother’s Boy” was going to be exactly the episode that this dynamic needed at this point in the season. Instead, “Mother’s Boy” is a disappointingly surface-level episode that doesn’t feel new or fresh for 9-1-1, and that resolves everything in predictable and cookie-cutter ways.
The episode opens with the car accident that was teased in the promo, in which a badly-injured Eddie is pulled out of the crash alone. It then goes back in time to Buck and Eddie at the Nashville airport, where all flights have been grounded due to a software issue (which is probably setup for 9-1-1: Nashville‘s episode this week). They’re in a rush to get home for Hen’s (Aisha Hinds) surprise birthday party, which is a do-over after almost everyone forgot her birthday last year. Buck suggests they just drive, which leads to a really fun Buddie road trip sequence where they sing along to the music, rank their favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, and toss snacks into each other’s mouths. It’s a breath of fresh air to see them acting like silly best friends together, but of course, the fun is short-lived.
Buck and Eddie’s conversation in the car stays surface-level, touching just on their previous 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover, and then turning into a fight after Buck gets them lost when he suggests an unconventional route down south through New Mexico. Buck loves the food and gets along very well with the waitress, Bonnie (Melinda McGraw), while Eddie is just angry, and then they get into an explosive argument right there in the diner. Their argument is very generic and standard, with Buck getting mad at Eddie for getting “gloomy” like he says Eddie always does, while Eddie is only mad about being lost. It’s not specific enough for two people who have been best friends for eight years, and even their loud and vicious diner fight doesn’t feel detailed or cutting enough for two people who know each other that well.
‘9-1-1’ Season 9 Finally Delivers a Near-Perfect Episode
Part 1 of the ‘9-1-1’ crossover is definitely not just a filler episode.
The most compelling part of their argument is Buck expressing his anger that Eddie is mad at him for a choice that they both made. Buck is frustrated that Eddie doesn’t speak his mind and say what he wants, while Eddie admits to taking the “path of least resistance” with Buck most of the time to avoid arguments. This had the potential to touch deeper on their dynamic, but it just skates along the surface and instead turns into an over-the-top argument that has Buck dramatically holding a fork to his own neck and screaming at Eddie to kill him. A group of homophobic truckers mistakes this for a lover’s quarrel, and one of them tells Buck and Eddie that “We just don’t see a lot of your kind around here.”
When Eddie asks what the trucker means by his and Buck’s kind, the trucker says, “You tell me, Princess.” It’s a deliberate narrative choice to show homophobia being directed specifically at Eddie, but the episode never unpacks this further. Buck and Eddie both apologize to each other and cement their position as a team, then they get followed by a truck on the road. They believe that it’s a homophobic hate crime, and they’re driven off the road, which turns into a car accident. Eddie wakes up alone in the hospital where he’s told that he was the only person in the car. Meanwhile, Buck is trapped alone in Bonnie’s house, where she believes that he’s her son, Derek, who has been brain-dead since a motorcycle accident 15 years earlier (and is still on life support in her basement).
Buck’s predicament this episode feels generally low-stakes, because Bonnie is clearly just grieving and unwell, and there’s no doubt that he will make it out alive. The much more high-stakes storyline this episode is Eddie’s. Eddie tries to get the local Sheriff to listen to him and take Buck’s case seriously, but Eddie is instead met with racist and homophobic microaggressions from the Sheriff, who very obviously thinks that Eddie killed Buck in an act of intimate partner violence (which is a baffling choice when this, alongside the homophobia from the truckers, is the only time the romantic undertone of Buck and Eddie’s dynamic is addressed this episode). Eddie turns to the team back home for help, and Athena (Angela Bassett), Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) do their best to assist from afar.
Athena calls the Sheriff, who is still set on Eddie as a suspect, and who doesn’t want to actually do his job. With Buck trapped in a locked room and nobody else around to help, Eddie has to be the one to save him. Eddie is hesitant to break out of the hospital and make himself more of a suspect, but Athena pushes him to go save Buck. This is a disappointing writing choice considering how close Buck and Eddie are, but Eddie’s concerns are understandable due to the Sheriff’s obvious racism, even though the episode doesn’t ever explore this further. An injured Buck and Eddie are paralleled with one another as they both escape to try to get to each other. Buck gets caught, first by Bonnie, and then by her ex-husband and Derek’s father, Earl (Jeff Kober), who’s also the cook at the diner. Eddie’s search for Buck takes him to the diner, where one of the waitresses flirts with him, and Eddie, of course, shows a lack of interest. She offers her his number, and he nods with a serious face, presumably because he wants to be able to contact her in the search for Buck, but that’s the last we see of this odd detour.
Eddie goes to Bonnie’s house, where Earl now has Buck tied up in the basement. Bonnie knows that Buck isn’t Derek now, and she knows that there’s no way out now, so she tries to convince Earl to kill him. Buck talks to Bonnie one-on-one and shows compassion for her, relating her loss of Derek to his own loss of Bobby (Peter Krause), and encouraging her to let Derek go. She almost kills Buck, but Eddie shows up right on time to ask her questions about the truckers, whom he believes has Buck. Buck asks Bonnie and Earl to convince Eddie to leave, willing to sacrifice himself to save Eddie. He appeals to Bonnie as a parent, telling her about Christopher (Gavin McHugh), and saying that Eddie is all Chris has. She tries to steer Eddie away, but he sees the truck and knows that Buck is there. Eddie gets into a confrontation with Bonnie and Earl, where he has a gun to Bonnie’s head, and Earl has a gun to Eddie’s. Buck then escapes and tackles Earl, saving Eddie.

The cops interrupt at that point, and the Sheriff sees that Eddie was right. Buck collapses and Eddie rushes to him in a moment that should have been the emotional payoff that this episode so desperately needed, showing just how much they mean to each other. Instead, the moment is undercut with a joke, and Buck and Eddie never get a moment to properly debrief either what they just went through together or the argument that they had. It felt like this episode is trying so hard to avoid stepping into anything romantic with Buck and Eddie, that in doing so, there is a massive lack of emotional payoff for what they just went through together. Even if this was supposed to be played as platonic, they could’ve at least had a scene like Hen and Chimney got at the end of “Hero Complex.”
Instead, that’s it for Buck and Eddie, and the only emotional payoff is for Maddie, who’s been terrified for Buck all episode. She drops everything, ready to go find him herself, until she gets the call that he is alright. Even Eddie’s phone call after with Chris takes place off-screen, and we never see Buck proven wrong about his own place in Christopher’s life. The episode ends on a joke, as it’s revealed that the whole thing was pointless, because Hen missed her party for a surprise trip with Karen (Tracie Thoms). The episode is uneven throughout, but it had a lot of potential, if only Buck and Eddie’s emotional conflict and concern for each other had been given proper emotional payoff. Ultimately, though, 9-1-1 seems afraid to let Buck and Eddie have a real conversation, and the episode shoots itself in the foot because of it.
9-1-1 airs Thursdays at 8:00 P.M. on ABC.

Everyone’s juggling a lot in The Pitt Season 2, but Isa Briones’ storyline as Trinity Santos feels especially full. Not only is being a second-year resident at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s Emergency Department especially taxing, but on this particular day, she also faces the return of Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball), Dr. Robby’s (Noah Wyle) pending exit for his sabbatical, and the realization that she might not get precisely what she wants out of her relationship with Dr. Garcia (Alexandra Metz). As is very often the case with The Pitt, the writers do an exceptional job of blending workplace challenges with personal concerns to craft stories about fully realized people giving everything they’ve got to others, while trying to figure out how to care for themselves in the process.
With The Pitt closing in on its Season 2 finale, Briones carved out the time to swing by the Collider Ladies Night studio to discuss everything that’s happened through Episode 13, “7:00 PM,” before jetting off to New York City for her run in Just in Time on Broadway. We covered lessons learned from her father, Jon Jon Briones, takeaways from Star Trek: Picard, what it was like joining the cast of The Pitt, and, of course, everything Santos is trying to power through on July 4th.
Dr. Robby is the Chief Attending Physician at the ED. Him leaving for a three-month sabbatical is bound to impact everyone working in the department, but it could prove especially trying for Santos.
In the middle of Episode 12, “6:00 PM,” Robby is supervising her, and when the patient embraces the risk he took that landed him in the hospital, Robby says, “Amor fait,” which means, “Love of fate.” Santos says back, “Memento mori,” which translates to, “Remember you must die.” Robby follows that up with, “Tomato, tomahto,” a response that leaves Santos speechless.
“Doing the scene, what we were really trying to solidify in these last few episodes was just how much she’s kind of clinging to Robby, and how him leaving is yet another destabilizing thing amongst so many destabilizing things in the day that she’s having. He’s one of the only people who knows what happened and who felt like was on her side with the Langdon stuff, and now she’s entering a world where he’s back and Robby’s gonna be gone. She’s losing a bit of a safe space, and so I think hearing him talk so morbidly about his trip is kind of like, ‘What the hell?’ It’s this like, ‘Oh, I might be really losing this person,’ and that just kind of digs it a little deeper for her to retreat into her little sadness shell.”
‘The Pitt’ Star Breaks Silence on The Show’s Divisive ICE Storyline
Fiona Dourif discusses Dr. McKay’s biggest Season 2 moments, including the Roxie storyline and her Episode 12 concern for Dr. Robby.
Another person Santos appears to be losing in Season 2 is Garcia. In Episode 10, “4:00 PM,” while passing in the hall, Santos calls Garcia out for criticizing her in front of Langdon and asks, “Whose side are you on?” Garcia tells her, “Langdon made a mistake and owned up to it. Let it go.” As one would expect, that doesn’t sit well with Santos and she continues to push her side of the argument. But, Garcia puts are hard stop on it by telling her, “You want to have sex and eat ramen in bed, I’m your girl, but if you want to talk about this Langdon shit again, call a therapist.”
Given the rocky state of their relationship and that it’s abundantly clear Santos isn’t getting everything she wants from it, I asked Briones to compare her relationship goals at the start of the show to what Santos’ is looking for from a partner now. She began:
“When you first meet her, she’s so go-getter and so coming-in-hot and wanting to prove herself, and I think there was obviously attraction there, but I also think it was like, oh, this is someone who is not off-put by my testing energy. She’s actually matching it and kind of likes it. So, I think there was kind of like an, ‘Oh, we feel like equals in a way, and we feel like we get each other.’ Also, ‘She’s in surgery. I want to go into surgery.’ There may be a little bit of that.”
What changed? As Briones put it, “I think now she’s caught feelings a bit.” She continued:
“You see that Whitaker has become a person that she is now kind of letting in reluctantly, and with Garcia, I think it’s like, this is someone who should be the person that I would let in, like a romantic partner. In her attempts, that has been shut down to make it go anywhere more serious. I think all of that compounding on this day is just leading her to further believe, ‘No one loves me, and I’m gonna be alone, and I should be alone.’ The one person who is showing her love and wants to be there for her is Whitaker, and she’s like, ‘Fuck you!’”
And this doesn’t just pertain to what’s happening in The Pitt Season 2, or even what’s happened since the beginning of the show. Santos’ frustrations are also connected to times in her life pre-The Pitt when she wasn’t heard. Briones explained:
“I think she’s felt not heard a lot in the past, obviously, about the Langdon stuff, but also about things far before the show starts that we hear a little bit about. I think she’s not been believed when she’s told the truth before, and so I think just wanting someone to hear her is a really big thing.”
As Briones noted, the one person who’s especially eager to hear her out and support her is a person she consistently pushes away — Whitaker (Gerran Howell).
Episode 12 concludes with a significant exchange between the two. It’s not just about Langdon. It’s about everything. It begins with Santos taking a blade from the suture cart and then when Whitaker asks her what’s going on, she lets it all out — the frustrations with the Langdon situation, feeling abandoned by The Pitt community, concerns about Robby leaving, pressure from Dr. Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), things not working out with Garcia the way she’d like, and then, to top it all off, she calls Whitaker out for not telling her about “squatting at Robby’s bachelor pad.”
It’s a phenomenal performance beat by Briones who imbues an exposition-heavy moment with significant emotion and subtext. When asked about tackling such a scene, Briones even mentioned, “Sometimes you have a dialogue like that where it’s clear you’re just trying to remind the audience what has happened, but it’s like, no, no, this was clearly everything is coming to the surface.” She continued:
“If you really look at the subtext of it, it shows how comfortable she is with him. She doesn’t really talk about anything with anyone else, but the fact that she’s willing to confront all this stuff to his face and accidentally show, ‘I’m scared to be alone,’ that’s really a very special character moment where you realize just how much she needs him.”

Y’all, the streets were buzzing on Thursday as Megan Thee Stallion made her highly anticipated return to Broadway. And let’s just say…she didn’t come to play. After a brief hospitalization due to health concerns, Megan stepped out looking fierce and fully back in the spotlight. And, she reminded everyone why she’s the definition of “Hot Girl Energy.”
On Thursday, a clip shared to social media shows Meg dressed in a pink velour matching tracksuit as she hopped out of a sleek black SUV, phone in hand, staying lowkey with only a few people outside to witness her arrival. She didn’t seem to say much as she walked into what appeared to be the Broadway venue, but onlookers couldn’t help noticing her confident stride. And, the Houston-born rapper proved that even after a health scare, she is still bringing her signature style and presence wherever she goes.
Fans online ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section to add in their two cents. Many pushed back at haters, pointing out that dehydration doesn’t take that long to bounce back from. Meanwhile, some questioned why people were shading her after a legitimate health scare. And of course, a few couldn’t resist cracking jokes, turning the moment into pure humor.
One Instagram user @adose.of.neci_ said, “Body tea!!! But I hope she listens to her body more and relax♥️”
This Instagram user @xleela94 added, “Yall do know you can bounce right back after being dehydrated 😂🤦🏾♀️”
And, Instagram user @mr_do_tooo_much shared, “Me after a hang over 😂 exhausted af“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @_mymflife_ commented, “Those stage lights are so hot! It’s easy to suffer exhaustion underneath them.“
While Instagram user @sauvion_kamaya joked, “Me after I leave his house at 5am😂”
Finally, Instagram user @theeecyn_city said, “At least she’s okay! 🙌🏽”
Y’all, Broadway fans got a scare on Tuesday night when Megan Thee Stallion suddenly vanished mid-show during her debut as Zidler in ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical.’ As previously reported, Megan became “very ill” during the performance and was rushed to a local hospital, with her symptoms reportedly including exhaustion, dehydration, and more.
Her hairstylist, Kellon Deryck, took to social media asking for prayers, while audience member Loren LoRosa tweeted about the sudden disruption and Meg’s unexpected exit. It was also reported that the FDNY responded to the theater for a female having trouble breathing, though it’s not officially confirmed if that was Megan. Despite the scary moment, Meg is set to continue her run in the show through May 17, proving Hot Girl Energy isn’t going anywhere—even on Broadway.

Streep tells EW in a statement that she’s “chuffed” to find out she’s related to the former “Vogue” head who inspired her character in the film.
Grey’s Anatomy is shaking things up at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital with a concerning investigation ahead of the season finale.
During the Thursday, April 2, episode of the hit ABC series, Miranda (Chandra Wilson) tried to hide the fact that Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.) secretly gave a patient an experimental treatment that was denied by the FDA.
Miranda’s husband, Ben (Jason George), was the first to catch on and then Richard (James Pickens Jr.) caught wind of it. He called Miranda into his office — not knowing Kwan was at fault — to warn her of an official investigation into the incident.
Kwan’s future at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital was called into question after news broke that Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver are leaving the show at the end of the season.
Grey’s Anatomy has been going through a surprising amount of cast exits and onscreen deaths. The medical drama, which premiered in 2005, is focused on the personal and professional lives of surgical interns, residents and attendings at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital a.k.a Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital a.k.a Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Due to […]
Creator Shonda Rhimes hinted at how the season will wrap up for Teddy (Raver) and Owen (McKidd) in a statement last month.
“Over the years, we have had the privilege of watching Owen and Teddy’s love story evolve and deepen — two characters who always seem to find their way back to each other. It is both bittersweet and joyful to give this couple the happy ending their story deserves,” she teased. “Kevin and Kim bring extraordinary talent, nuance and heart to their roles as Owen and Teddy. Their contributions leave an indelible mark on Grey’s Anatomy, both in front of and behind the camera. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them both and to see them shine.”
She concluded: “While we will all miss seeing them in the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial each day, I am excited to witness where Kim’s and Kevin’s journeys will take them in the future.”
Grey’s Anatomy has faced plenty of cast shake-ups this season alone. Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) chose to take a sabbatical after the shocking death of her colleague Monica (Natalie Morales). It was subsequently reported that Scorsone’s break would last until the end of 2025 as the result of a cost-saving measure.
Katherine Heigl, Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers and more stars have left Grey’s Anatomy — for various reasons. Created by Shonda Rhimes and starring Ellen Pompeo, Grey’s Anatomy debuted on ABC in 2005. Pompeo (Meredith Grey) left the show as a series regular following season 19 but continued to provide voiceover narration and make special guest […]
The show is already reducing the minimum guarantees for its veteran cast members to 14 out of its 18 episodes per season. While some of Grey’s Anatomy‘s consistent stars will be missing for four episodes, Scorsone’s absence was doubled.
Showrunner Meg Marinis previously hinted that not every character would be safe this season.
“But even in the last two seasons with what you saw this year, we had to reduce the cast a little bit [because of industry-wide budget cuts], and everybody has very passionate feelings about their favorite characters,” Marinis told The Hollywood Reporter in May 2025. “But if we can get the writers upset then we know we’re doing it right. It’s not as satisfying a story if people aren’t upset when someone leaves. It’s supposed to make people upset and sad, so I’m sure there’ll be some arguments. But I’ve been persuaded before to change my mind on things.”
Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.

Jen Shah reached out “privately” to Mary Cosby to send her condolences after her son Robert Cosby Jr. died.
In a clip from her People interview that was posted via Instagram on Thursday, April 2, Shah, 52, said she reached out to her former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City costar, 53, following the tragic news.
“I did reach out to Mary. I privately reached out to Mary because I felt like that was the respectful thing to do,” Shah told the outlet. “ I sent her a card, you know, and just told her how deeply sorry that I was to hear about the passing of Robert Jr.”
Shah added that she told Mary that “she’s in my family’s prayers every day” after hearing the news.
“Even though, you know, I hadn’t talked to her for, obviously, a few years while I’ve been gone that I care about her, especially with right now, you know, what she’s going through,” Shah added. “I chose to reach out privately because I didn’t want it to be a distraction if I were to do it publicly.
Shah added that she was concerned that the focus might shift to be on her response to the news rather than the loss itself.
“I didn’t want it to become about me responding. I wanted it to remain about what Mary was going through and about her son and honoring his memory,” Shah explained.

Us Weekly confirmed on February 25, that Robert Jr. died at age 23 following a suspected overdose in his parents’ Utah home.
“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord,” Mary shared in a statement to Us. “Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.”
Robert Jr.’s addiction battle was featured on RHOSLC throughout the past two seasons. Viewers often applauded Mary for her candid approach to opening up about her son’s struggles.
Meanwhile, Shah was released from Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, on December 10, 2025.
Upon her release, Judge Sidney Stein also ordered Shah to serve five years of supervised release “to make sure you don’t end up committing another crime.”
Shah had been in custody since February 17, 2023, for her role in a long-running nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme.
In her first interview since her release, Shah explained to People on Wednesday, April 1, why she ultimately accepted wrongdoing and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in July 2022 after previously entering a not guilty plea.
“There were actual victims as a result of this conspiracy. I had never seen anything with my own eyes. That changed things for me,” she added. “I’m sorry. I’m accepting responsibility, and I’ve made it my mission to make sure that people are paid back.”
Wedding bells are ringing for Crystal Harris and her fiancé James Ward!
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, April 2, the former Playboy model, 39, teased the couple’s nuptials.
“Baby where the hell is my husband… probably waiting for me to walk down the aisle 🥹💍 Today is the day!!” Harris captioned the post.
The accompanying video showed Ward, 42, enthusiastically picking Harris up in his arms. Harris wore a casual white dress for the occasion, while the backdrop appeared to their wedding destination, the South Pacific’s Cook Islands. The words “wedding day” were also written in the video’s text.
Crystal Hefner is engaged to James Ward after one year of dating, they exclusively reveal to Us Weekly. Ward proposed to Hefner, 39, with a six-carat, vintage mine-cut diamond set on a whisper-thin band earlier this month on the seaside deck that he built the former Playboy model at her Hawaii home. “It truly feels […]
Posting via her Instagram Stories the same day, Harris also showed a glimpse of the romantic spot they seemingly planned to exchange vows. A clip showed a beach with rocks strategically placed in a heart shape while a floral arch stood at the center, marking where the duo would likely say “I do.”
Harris also shared a video and photo of the happy couple brandishing wide grins on a boat ride. Harris appeared to be wearing her wedding dress for the journey, while groom Ward looked dapper all suited up.
Last month, Harris, who is the ex-wife of late Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, shared that her wedding date was getting close.

“Less than two weeks until I marry my best friend. My adventure buddy, my protector, the person who gives me strength to take on the world 💪” she gushed via her Instagram on March 22.
She continued, “You are such an incredible human. You steady me, lift me, and remind me who I am on the days I forget. With you, life feels bigger, softer, and more meaningful all at once. I don’t just feel loved, I feel safe, seen, and unstoppable. I can’t wait to do this life with you 🤍”
Harris and Ward announced their engagement after one year of dating in May 2025.
Crystal Hefner and boyfriend James Ward are celebrating their first anniversary together with a luxurious getaway to Africa, and the former Playboy model is sharing the special photos exclusively with Us Weekly. We’re celebrating in a way that reflects who we are as a couple — with adventure, heart and purpose,” Hefner, 38, tells Us of the April 2 […]
“It truly feels like a full-circle moment. James completely surprised me. He had a hidden staircase and a winding trail cleared to reveal a handcrafted deck perched above a dramatic cliffside overlooking the ocean,” Harris exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “It was the exact spot where we’d had a quiet picnic together a year ago — a place that became ‘ours.’ I had no idea he was secretly turning it into something permanent and symbolic. I thought we were just going for a walk, but when I saw the flowers, the handwritten notes, and the sea stretching endlessly in front of us, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen.”
Harris previously posted about the proposal via Instagram, writing in May 2025, “I said yes (of course) with my smile, my soul, my every cell—because loving you is the most natural thing I’ve ever done.”
YSL Woody is weighing in as social media users share their thoughts on Pooh Shiesty allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane.
On Thursday, April 2, YSL Woody took to his Instagram to share a clip of himself riding in a car while asking viewers a question.
“Help me understand this, y’all — please help me. I need help. Pooh Shiesty did all that time in jail — in the feds. He around all them people that have unbelievable cases where it show how far the feds willing to go [but] Pooh Shiesty came home and made a ‘First Day Out’ and they sent him right back to jail,” Woody said. “Pride and ego is our main enemy. That’s why I call myself Woody versus Woody. I got to fight myself every day. To not let these suckas trick me back into jail…”
Furthermore, Woody explained that Pooh “came home and did NBA YoungBoy numbers.” Additionally, he explained that Pooh had the entire “lifestyle that he dreamed of having.”
“But he didn’t change his mindset,” he said. “Look what the boy did. The boy done went and did some stupid s**t, causing him to go back to jail… We our own enemy. The s**t stop when we change our mindset.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, the FBI raided Pooh Shiesty’s family home in Cordova, Tennessee, on Wednesday, April 1. At the time, the target of the search remained unclear. However, Pooh’s dad, Lontrell Williams, was taken into custody in Memphis, Tennessee, while Pooh was taken into custody in Dallas. To note, Pooh had reportedly been in a residential facility after being released from prison in October 2025.
Furthermore, it was revealed that Pooh, his dad, and seven others were taken into custody for kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane and two others at gunpoint. During the incident, a victim was reportedly forced into signing a label release contract, and, allegedly, someone was even “choked to the point of near unconsciousness.”
