Welcome to Plathville’s Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse were vocal about saving their first kiss for their wedding day — so how long did they wait to have sex?

During the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the TLC series, Lydia, 22, met up with her friend and bridesmaid Mariah to talk about how married life was going with Zac, 24, after tying the knot in February 2025.

“[It’s] been really great. Enjoying marriage, discovering marriage,” Lydia said.

Welcome to Plathville‘s Lydia Plath and husband Zac Wyse are hinting that their sex life is “naughty” after saving their first kiss for their wedding. “Is the honeymoon phase over yet?” a producer asks the newlyweds, who break out into an awkward laugh, in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the season 8 premiere airing […]

She then detailed how her and Zac’s first night together after kissing at the altar.

“Zac had told me leading up to the wedding, he was like, ‘You know, when it comes to sex, when it comes to intimacy, like, I want you to let me know when you’re ready,’” Lydia recalled.

The reality star remembered her now-husband saying, “‘If you want to wait a week, you know, [and] enjoy a week of kissing and making out and warming up to each other before we do anything else [we can].’ He’s like, ‘I’m here to serve you.’”

Lydia noted that Zac “really created a safe place” for her in the bedroom before confirming they had sex shortly after becoming husband and wife.

“No, we didn’t wait a week so much,” she told her friend, making a cheeky face and letting out a laugh.

Lydia explained, “I don’t want to disclose what our wedding night looked like, but it was so beautiful. It’s just so perfect and so God-centered and so just honoring.”

The TLC personality was also honest about what it was like being naked in front of somebody else after growing up in such a conservative household.

“I wouldn’t even change it in front of my sister’s till I was like 17,” Lydia confessed to Mariah. “That was honestly something that surprised both of us, just how comfortable we were with each other from day one.”

Lydia — who received backlash from her family over how quickly she married Zac — told the cameras that she’s happy with the couple’s sex life thus far. (Ahead of their special day, Lydia’s eldest brother Ethan Plath questioned Zac’s sexuality after learning they hadn’t kissed. Ethan, 28, and the rest of the family eventually apologized for being so critical.)

“There’s definitely a side of me that no one has ever seen or I never imagined was there. But, it’s for Zac only and it’s awesome,” Lydia teased before biting a banana on camera. The action, which appeared somewhat sexual, caused the crew to laugh, but Lydia insisted it wasn’t on “purpose.”

Thank You!

Lydia, who moved to Colorado from Florida with Zac earlier this month, proceeded to give fans a little glimpse at the couple’s newlywed phase.

“There’s just such a beauty in sex and intimacy with your spouse. That’s like it just breeds so much deeper connection [of] joy, love,” Lydia shared. “It’s literally life giving, like, literally, but it also is life giving as a couple. Like it, it does bring life into the world, but it also brings life into your marriage.”

Welcome to Plathville airs on TLC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.

“B***s will sell they soul for 2500 and a fake Cuban chain / if i send you a pic of a low cut lil titty stud just know you ain’t use to things … ran 2 Atlanta freestyle link in my bio click it.”

While the internet thinks Akbar V is shading the girlies, she also took time to show love to Drake following the release of his latest projects, ‘Iceman,’ ‘Habibi,’ and ‘Maid Of Honour.’

The female rapper took to Instagram with a photo showing her hugged up with Drake and wrote, “Baby father you are exactly who you think u is … you are himothy @champagnepapi where everybody at that jump ship nawl stay over there cause im still with the same … yeah act like it.”

She later took to X to continue showing love to Drake and let folks know she’s been supporting him through the criticism. Akbar wrote, “Everybody had so much to say bout drake i was the only female staying down through the rough times and now yall trying to jump ship nawl we good over here.”

The dark comedy is a tough genre to pull off for several reasons. Some projects go too hard with the comedy, forgetting the key word that precedes it. Others are so dark that you do a double-take when you remember that you’re supposed to be laughing, too. Apple TV’s unpredictable new series, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, created by David J. Rosen, despite being billed as a dark comedy, feels more akin to a mystery thriller with some comedic bits peppered in, unquestionably thrusting you into a web of lies in need of untangling above anything else. It’s thanks to Tatiana Maslany‘s charming tour-de-force performance — which turns overused tropes on their head — that Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed becomes a solid, addictive addition to the streamer, with each episode asking: Can anyone be trusted?

What Is ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’ About?

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed wastes no time in establishing everything you need to know about Paula (Maslany) and the show itself in a very inventive way. It’s evening in NYC, and Paula is video chatting with a guy she comfortably calls “Trev” (Brandon Flynn) as he sips a beer and tells her that the goat painting she’s trying to hang up on her crisp apartment wall is way too small. In between the laughs as Paula unpacks moving boxes, she laments about how Karl (Jake Johnson) won’t let Hazel (Nola Wallace) stay over at her new place if it’s not completely set up.

Paula knows she’s a bit of a hot mess, and is both aware of the fact that she needs to get her life in order, and that, well, that’s just how she is. Maslany might be one of very few people who could deliver a line in which she jokes that she should maybe take a bath with a toaster, and it comes across as wickedly charming and magnetic. She might never fully have her life in order, but she’s doing her damn best.

The rug is pulled out from under us when Trev clocks that they only have six minutes left of their call, and says that she could “buy another hour.” Paula then asks if they could “make six minutes work.” Suddenly, pants are down, the talk gets dirty, and it’s clear that Paula’s paid for online sex from a “cam boy,” who she has been in a pseudo-relationship with for quite some time, given how much he seems to casually know about her personal life. Paula is paying for sexual pleasure, yes, but she’s also paying for someone to be her friend as she adjusts to life as a divorcee.

The aforementioned proverbial rug then gets thrown out the window when, during another virtual dinner date with Trev, his doorbell rings, and an unknown assailant attacks him, with Paula left to helplessly watch from her home in her cheetah-print bra. She shows a cop a recording from her phone of the incident on her laptop, and the cop says that Trevor is likely blackmailing her. Everything reaches peak intensity and danger when Paula starts getting calls from someone who knows specific details about her personal life — including her daughter — and who demands money, unless she wants her cam boy videos leaked. Paula’s chaotic life just got inexplicably more uncertain and unstable at the worst possible time.

Tatiana Maslany Is the Perfect Choice To Lead ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’

What’s so great about Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is that Tatiana Maslany has the chance to fully show off all she is capable of as a performer. Of course, the series Orphan Black, which won Maslany an Emmy and planted her firmly on the Hollywood map, had her playing multiple characters, naturally conveying her range. The divisive She-Hulk: Attorney at Law allowed her to break the fourth wall and loosen up as she brought a Marvel character to life in a fun way. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed feels like a sublime convergence of her skill sets.

Maslany is also the perfect choice for a role that subverts the thankless portrayal of mothers in film and TV. In Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Paula is the “fun” parent whom her daughter, Hazel, would much rather spend time with if given the choice. She loves and is close to her father and stepmother, but Paula is undoubtedly the person she can be her carefree, silly self with. If anything, Paula is even sillier than her daughter. Ice cream for dinner and jumping on the bed is her vibe — even if she also has bills to pay and a 3rd grade soccer team to coach.

It’s fun to see the mom character being the “mess” for a change. Paula needs to get her life together; she doesn’t have all the answers a mom is expected to have, and she unapologetically has sexual desires she needs to satisfy. The show never takes a detour to fill her with shame for that, which is refreshing, akin to how the tragically forgotten HBO series Mrs. Fletcher saw its female protagonist exploring her sexuality as an adult. (It’s only when Karl has concerns about when these virtual rendezvous were taking place that it understandably becomes problematic.)

Paula’s charismatic, gives-zero-effs personality is exactly what makes Maslany’s performance all the more impressive when Paula is thrust into tense conversations with her ex and the authorities about her increasingly convoluted blackmail situation. In between Paula trying to identify the blackmailer — and eventually, a murderer — she is dealing with an intensifying custody battle with Karl, who certainly has the upper hand and plans to move Hazel to Idaho. It’s almost uncomfortable to see Johnson play someone who isn’t a charming, lovable guy, but the New Girl star pulls it off impressively. What’s interesting is that Karl is by no means a villain. In fact, he’s a great father who just wants the best for his child. It’s simply the way he’s positioned in the narrative that we are designed not to like him. As the season progresses, it’s clear that this custody fight isn’t exactly easy for him, either, and that he might even have some second thoughts about how things are being handled.

Murray Bartlett Is a Masterful Menace in ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’

Though not much can be revealed about who exactly Murray Bartlett plays in Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed and how or when he factors into Paula’s increasingly deadly circumstances, one thing is for certain: you do not want to cross him. Bartlett’s put-together, disarming personality in the series is quickly revealed to be a guise he wears in order to get what he wants and needs.

One minute, Dennis is enjoying a lovely sushi date with his boyfriend, and the next, he’s calculating his every move and putting a bag over a woman’s head in the woods. Any trace of Bartlett’s notable performances in The White Lotus and The Last of Us is nowhere to be found here, making the possibilities of the types of characters he could play in future projects seem endless.

Kiarra Hamagami Goldberg and Charlie Hall Are ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’s Scene-Stealers

The colorful icing on the Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed cake is undoubtedly the dynamic duo that is Kiarra Hamagami Goldberg and Charlie Hall, who play Geri and Rudy, Paula’s younger, snootier coworkers. At first, they come across simply as nuisances in Paula’s life, with their only goal being to take her down a peg with their unnecessarily cruel, witty jabs. As the episodes progress, however, and the mystery gets more and more twisted, Geri and Rudy slowly become integral to the central narrative and evolve beyond “one-note” comic relief. Goldberg’s Geri deals with conflicting feelings about Paula’s circumstances, and Rudy goes from being a quirky, entitled guy with relationship baggage to someone you really root for. It’s thanks to Goldberg and Hall’s chemistry and screen presence that these two supporting characters become real standouts.

With Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Apple TV adds yet another fun, unconventional series to its expanding and star-studded library. Maslany digs into a role that’s charming and complicated, effortlessly handling the humor and heaviness that gets thrown Paula’s way. While the main mystery at hand may sometimes feel unnecessarily complex, it ultimately serves as an entertaining escape that will leave you wishing Season 2 were around the corner.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed premieres with two episodes Wednesday, May 20 on Apple TV.

Hey General Hospital fans, we’ve got a big pile of leaks for you from our very reliable source that covers a bunch of front burner storylines and characters. We’ve got some scoop on Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey), on Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), and lots more.

We’re going to share what our reliable leaker said about what’s next for Carly, Cassius and a new death leak and info on a returning character. All right. Now, as I always do with these leaks, I want to clarify that while these are from a trustworthy source who has a behind the scenes connection at General Hospital, these are not official spoilers. So, definitely consider it in the rumor vein, but this source has given us many leaks that have come to fruition. So, as we remember, these fall into the rumor category. Let’s jump right in.

Cassius Faison Is Still A Villain on General Hospital

So, first off, while it sure looks like General Hospital is humanizing him right now, the leaker said, “Never forget that Cassius Faison is a villain. The newly invented son of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is not a good guy.” But the leak says that even villains are capable of love. And if you remember, uber villain Helena Cassadine (Constance  Towers) definitely loved her son Stavros Cassadine and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) loved Marco Rios (Adrian Anchando).

And similarly, it looks like Cassius has developed genuine feelings for his nephew James West (Gary James Fuller) while he is pretending to be, you know, the dead father of James that died. So, another leak about Cassius that says there’s this special connection between him and James says that that will continue, but the leaker said there are some questions about how they’re going to have to deal with the big Cassius isn’t Nathan reveal, especially with James involved and without having Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) on screen right now.

Possible Temporary Recast of Maxie Jones on GH

And since it seems like Kirsten Storms may not be available to film, the insider said there are some questions behind the scenes about how the writers can deal with this storyline unless they do a Maxie recast, even if it’s just a temporary one for storyline reasons.

Also, our leaker says that Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) soon has reason to suspect something is off with Cassius, but him being the evil twin of Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not on her bingo card. Instead, the backstage chatter is that Lulu thinks not Nathan has some form of PTSD from those missing years after his presumed death.

The leakers said that Lulu learns the truth about Cassius’s true identity by the summer and that Lulu does not take it well. The rumor is that Cassius goes really dark after that and breaks bad after Lulu turns on him. And there’s this hint that we could get a whodunit and that Ryan Paevey may exit after the reveal and not stick around much longer. We’ll see.

Peter August May Return to General Hospital as a Ghost

Next on our leak list is something I’m frankly not too enthused about. They said that Wes Ramsey is back in upcoming scenes as Peter August. Now, fortunately, if he is back, Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) nephew doesn’t seem to be back from the dead, but the source said that Peter may have some ghostly appearances coming up from beyond the grave. So, that could mean that Anna is haunted by her sister’s sicko son while she’s in the newer high facility psych ward in France that she seems destined to be sent to unless somebody intervenes.

Carly Will Realize What Happened to Drew

All right, next on our leak list is one about Carly and her awful ex, Drew. So, our leaker said a couple of months ago that Carly would be the one to realize what’s happening with Drew and what Willow Tait Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) did to him. And at the time that we first got that leak, we’re like, “Okay, that seems crazy because Carly isn’t even in the storyline.”

But now because of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) stabbing Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) with that syringe and causing his stroke, Carly is very much in the mix. So, she may be sniffing around about Jack since Carly needs him awake and communicating to give her answers about Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).

Carly thinks that Jack put Joss somewhere and he didn’t. But she’s not going to stop. And Carly already mentioned to Nina how strange it is. There’s two strokes of two healthy men in the same house. Plus, this week it looks like Willow hands Nina another syringe of paralytic and has her mom inject Jack again at GH. Maybe to buy them more time to scheme up a solution.

So, if Carly finds out that Jack also has the same mysterious locked-in condition just like Drew, we could see Carly heading over to Willow’s house and poking around and Drew finds a way to communicate with his ex. Even though Carly hates him, she would still help because I think she hates Willow and Nina even more.

Britt Nearly Dies Saving Rocco on General Hospital

Next on our leak list is that Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) puts her life literally on the line to save Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr). Kind of owes him because, you know, he saved Britt and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). So, the rumor is that Britt winds up near death. However, I don’t suspect she’ll actually die, unless, of course, Kelly Thiebaud decides she wants to leave again. But maybe it’ll get Lulu and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) to soften up a bit towards her if she nearly dies saving Rocco.

Plus, our source also said that Finola Hughes and Steve Burton’s hiatuses that turned out really lengthy left writers scrambling and that’s why we got Anna’s kidnapping, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) stuck for so long in Carly’s attic, Rocco shooting Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), and also Josslyn’s kidnapping. They basically referred to them as stall tactics, and they said these were hasty rewrites rather than long-term planned storytelling.

Cullum Will Be Killed Off GH in Mid To Late June

Now, let’s talk about a death. Although I love the actor and I think he’s done a great job. They said that Cullum is going to be killed off in mid to late June. And honestly, that can’t come too soon because he’s tried to kill Britt and Jason and was seemingly planning to kill Brennan for asking too many questions. And I think he would gleefully kill Rocco or Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) or anybody he suspects of shooting him.

So, we’ve also heard it’s going to be an insane and dramatic July 4th, which actually hits during the second week of July sweeps. We’ve also heard that right at the end of sweeps, in the third week of July, is when Jason is back on the General Hospital scene. He’s supposed to return to filming in June. Burton confirmed that, but I don’t think that the first scenes are going to have Jason back in Port Charles right away. We’ll probably see where they’ve stuck him at and whatever happens to get him out of there.

Detective Joe Fitzpatrick Has A Secret Agenda on GH

New guy, detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) that we just met when he arrested Curtis supposedly has a secret agenda and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) may have sent Joe to town, but we know they are writing an off-screen death for Tristan Rogers’ character. So, when Robert dies, reportedly Joe is in over his head.

Another item from the leak list is that Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) gets a family member this summer. That makes sense because after Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) brutally assaulted him, Isaiah is going to need several operations and his future as a transplant surgeon may be at risk because Curtis wrecked his hand. In a couple of weeks, we’re going to see the set for the Metro Court Pool make its summer debut on GH.

So, we will see how many of these leaks on our list manifest. But one thing is for sure, it’s going to be a sizzling hot summer in Port Charles. And one last reminder, again, these are not spoilers, but they are leaks. But the source has been right about a lot. They’re the ones who leaked us about Cyrus being Sam’s killer and just a ton of other stuff. So, I do like talking about their info, but just know it may not all play out, but a lot of it I’m super excited about.

Platinum-selling singer K. Michelle joined “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for its 17th season. So far, her time on the show has gone over well, with many noting her personal revelations from earlier in the season. However, the former “Love & Hip Hop” star has bumped heads with multiple of her costars, including Porsha Williams and Drew Sidora, and some fans feel her actions were unwarranted.

Now, days after the newest “RHOA” episode, the “Jack Daniels” singer is clapping back at fans.

Episode seven of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” featured Michelle getting vulnerable with her costars, saying that she’d learned that some of them were “plotting against” her. Williams arguably supported her the most during the scene, even going to her side as she spoke and asked how she could help.

In the scene, she addressed the costars without naming them directly, calling them “a lowdown mutherf-cker.” Then, in a confessional interview, the singer went into more detail about what she’d learned.

According to her, “Last night after we left dinner, someone called me and said that there was a plot and a plan this whole time from some of these ladies.” She then said that the goal of the plan was to spread two rumors. The first was that she had some sort of involvement with the man Sidora had been linked to.

The second rumor involved an unfortunate rumor from Michelle’s past. She stated in the confessional that the rumor stemmed from something a “disgruntled ex said eight years ago” about body odor. Later, she implied that the perpetrators were Williams, by mentioning her hair line, and Sidora, due to her romantic involvement.

K. Michelle Took Issues With Her Costar’s Jokes

During Michelle’s emotional discussion with the ladies, she also said, “I know the little jokes.” This is notable in light of the past unfortunate rumors because earlier in the episode, the ladies went out to lunch. Cynthia Bailey ordered oysters, and Williams jokingly “tested” them, comparing the oysters to a woman’s vagina in regard to their smell and odor.

It’s also worth noting that the way the scene was edited lent itself to the joking, potentially being about Michelle. This is the case not only because of the weird oyster comparison from Williams, but also the close-up of Sidora’s reaction to the joke.

Also, in the scene, Michelle was visibly upset by the joke but didn’t express her feelings during the sitdown.

K. Michelle Responded To A Fan

Michelle has never been one to mince words, and that sentiment remains true since her first season on “RHOA.” On X, a fan reacted to her, implying that it was Williams and Sidora who were plotting against her.

The person wrote, “I love @kmichelle, truly huge fan, but I found this hard to watch. It appeared to me, and I actually said to my husband as we watched OMG, she’s having a nervous breakdown.”

The former “Love & Hip Hop” star quoted the post, saying, “I’m not having no damn nervous break down them. This all they got a-s girls got on there and tried to produce a show by poking me. I found out and got ahead of it and called it out. Keep your Dr. Bryant opinions. I’m the one watching everything. I have never played on TV. Oh, love you back though.”

I’m
Not having no damn nervous break down them this all they got ass girls got on there and tried to produce a show by poking me. I found out and got ahead of it and called it out.

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) May 19, 2026

Beyond the comment the “RHOA” star replied to, other fans had opinions. One person said on TikTok, “Does K Michelle understand the premise of the show?”

Another viewer wrote, “This girl has had a one-sided beef all season.” Still, some noted the oyster comparison and believe Michelle may be vindicated as the show continues to air.

As “RHOA” episode seven aired, Michelle posted to X, seemingly about Williams and the scene in which she became emotional. She said, “Don’t sit and my face and play like you don’t [know] what I’m talking about. You want a reaction, you can have it. Say it to my face or be a quiet coward.”

Who is a coward ?? I would define a coward as a person tweeting from the same house , two doors down from me. Next time let’s do our job and bring it to my front door REAL TIME. That’s how it’s done in Rhoa https://t.co/uc8XytUfwx

— Porsha Williams (@Porsha4real) May 18, 2026

After that, Williams issued a response, starting, “Who is a coward ??” After that, she called Michelle a coward for not addressing their issues on camera, face-to-face, rather than accusing her in a confessional. She added, “Next time, let’s do our job and bring it to my front door REAL TIME. That’s how it’s done in Rhoa.”

Williams later also defended her hair company after Michelle claimed during the episode that it contained synthetic hair.

K. Michelle Has A Country Music Album On The Way

Amid her debut season on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Michelle is gearing up to release her first country music album. Called “Puddin,” the album is being released by BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville. According to iHeart, she released the lead single from the album, “Jack Daniels,” in August 2025.

As of now, there is no announced date for the album, but it’s expected in 2026.

Fresh off her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively is now reportedly dealing with more than $2.1 million in unpaid contractor debt tied to her “paradise” compound.

The actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, own a sprawling property in Upstate New York that they purchased in 2018.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had reportedly planned to transform the estate into a “beautiful buffer” for their family, but construction on the property remains incomplete and is now being burdened by these mounting debts.

Back in 2018, Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, purchased a sprawling estate in the town of Lewisboro, about 60 miles north of Manhattan.

The South Salem property was bought for millions of dollars and included several surrounding parcels of land.

Lively reportedly had huge plans for the location and once described it with several endearing names, including “beautiful buffer,” “heaven,” and “the most beautiful place in the world,” per the Daily Mail.

She is also said to have intended to transform the estate into an environmentally conscious luxury “paradise” away from the prying eyes of neighbors.

Eight years after the purchase, however, the property is reportedly saddled with contractor liens and allegations of unpaid work, and remains far from completion.

At least five separate contractors and subcontractors are owed money, with the total debt amounting to more than $2.1 million, according to Westchester County filings obtained by the outlet.

Who Does Blake Lively Owe The Biggest Debt?

Among the list of contractors who have mechanic liens on the property, FlowCon Inc., also known as Flower Construction, appears to be the company owed the most by the actress.

As seen in the obtained filings, the company is seeking more than $1.35 million in alleged unpaid fees, which amounts to over half of the total debt.

The contractor was reportedly responsible for handling several major aspects of the estate’s construction, ranging from core structural work to interior finishing.

Records indicate the work included plumbing, electrical installation, HVAC systems, drywall, masonry, waterproofing, painting, and custom wood detailing.

The rest of the subcontractors filed claims connected to several aspects of the unfinished luxury compound. These include demands for payment related to copper roofing, drainage infrastructure, carpentry and trim work, steel fabrication for multiple buildings on the estate, as well as excavation and septic system installation.

The Actress Has Reportedly Not Yet Taken Steps To Settle Her Alleged Debts

Construction on the estate began several years ago and was still ongoing as recently as late 2025. Work was later paused, seemingly due to contractors refusing to continue without receiving payment.

For now, the outlet claims that Lively has not taken steps to settle the alleged debts, as records show no lien releases or discharge filings.

If completed, the estate is expected to feature a sprawling main residence, a substantial pool house, and a separate gym structure.

It is also planned to include geothermal heating and cooling systems, structural steel framing, custom copper roofing, septic infrastructure, excavation work, and high-end interior finishes.

Lively and Reynolds are also said to have planned to make the property their primary residence and did not intend to sell off the additional, smaller parcels of land they acquired.

Blake Lively’s Recent Lawsuit May Have Affected Her Finances

Due to the alleged unpaid debts, questions are now being raised about the financial situation of Lively and Reynolds, particularly after the actress recently ended a legal feud with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni.

The legal back-and-forth, which concluded in a settlement hearing, is said to have cost Lively millions in legal fees, although the exact figure is not publicly known.

Lively is now seeking to recover these expenses under a California law that allows individuals who report sexual misconduct to claim attorneys’ fees and damages if the accused files a retaliatory defamation suit, as Baldoni did last year. However, that case was ultimately dismissed.

For now, the presiding judge has yet to rule on the matter. Baldoni’s lawyers have argued that Lively’s request should not be granted, claiming she is not entitled to those protections because the incident she cites as involving alleged sexual harassment primarily took place during filming in New Jersey.

Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni Shared A Joint Statement On Their Settlement

The reason behind Lively and Baldoni’s settlement remains a mystery as the former co-stars did not specify why in their joint statement.

However, the pair hinted that their shared love for their project, “It Ends With Us,” may have played a part in their decision.

“The end product — the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life,” the statement read, per Variety. “Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind.”

“We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserve to be heard,” it continued. “We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”

The Summer House season 10 reunion is sure to be a memorable one amid costars Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s romance — and the fallout that has followed.

“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it,” Amanda and West wrote in a joint Instagram statement in March. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Months before, Amanda and Summer House costar Kyle Cooke announced their separation after four years of marriage. West, for his part, had previously been in a relationship with Amanda’s BFF and Summer House costar Ciara Miller.

“I am walking out of the Summer House reunion. … I’ve probably hosted, well, it’s over a 100 reunions, maybe 150, something like that,” Andy teased via Instagram. “This was one of the most intense [reunions] we’ve ever shot. This was a lot. This was a lot. It was very intense, you guys.”

Did the ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Reunion Leak?

Hours after the Summer House season 10 reunion finished filming in New York City, alleged audio clips from the taping appeared via social media. In the alleged audio, Ciara can be heard confronting Amanda and West about the timeline of their romance.

Bravo confirmed to Us Weekly that it was launching a “full investigation” into how the alleged leaked audio got out to the public.

“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process,” a Bravo spokesperson told Us on April 24. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”

Earlier in the day, Andy expressed his disappointment over the leak and encouraged Summer House fans to wait for the reunion to play out on the show.

“On my way to eye surgery and just reading about it,” Andy wrote via Threads on April 24, after a fan warned him to stay off social media. “People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this.”

The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host added, “It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”

Andy Cohen Says Lindsay Hubbard Gets ‘Activated’

During an April 28 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Lindsay revealed that the event’s filming saw her confront West about trying to hide his relationship with Amanda. Asked by Andy about West’s March Instagram Story that showed Ciara playing with Lindsay’s toddler, Gemma, Lindsay didn’t mince words.

“That really pissed me off,” she told Cohen. “He used my child as clickbait to sort of cover up his relationship, and I didn’t like that. And we talk about it at the reunion.”

Andy added his own recollection of the filming. “If y’all want to know if Lindsay was activated … there was one point where I was trying to talk to West, Ciara, Kyle and Amanda, and Lindsay is, like, all over me. I’m like, ‘Stop,’” he said.

Lindsay closed out the conversation with yet another teaser. “I’ve been on Summer House for 10 years and we’ve done these reunions for nine of them, and honestly this was one of the most intense, dramatic reunions that I have ever experienced,” she said. “I had to beg Andy for a pee break, I was, like, ‘Please, let us go pee.’”

KJ Discusses His Mental Health

During the May 5 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, KJ recalled an apology text from West that discussed what was filmed at the reunion one day prior.

You shared a lot yesterday [at the reunion] and I know it mightn’t carry much weight now but I’m always rooting for the best for you.” (West had instigated the text to address hiding his romance with Amanda from friends including KJ.)

KJ has never been shy about discussing his mental health, sharing his September 2025 borderline personality disorder diagnosis via Instagram two months later.
