Amanda Batula Claims She Had to Pay Kyle $117K in Back Rent
Amanda Batula dropped a financial bombshell about her and estranged husband Kyle Cooke during the In the City premiere — surprising fans and her castmates.
During the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the Summer House spinoff, Amanda, 34, confided in Lindsay Hubbard about her and Kyle’s money drama as the pair continued to work through their marriage issues.
“He has a spreadsheet of all this money that I owed him,” Amanda claimed. “So now it’s paying him in all these lump sums.”
As Amanda vented to Lindsay, 39, a price tag popped up in the corner of the screen, claiming that Amanda owed Kyle $117,000 in “back rent.”
“I already paid it. No sweat off my back,” Amanda nonchalantly told Lindsay as the pair shopped together. “We’re good.”
Lindsay pointed out that if Amanda paid it “last week” then she understood where her “resentment is coming from,” hinting that Amanda and Kyle’s problems were only escalating.
Amanda smiled at the time, seemingly making light of the situation.

Lindsay, however, was stunned by the revelation and told their group of girl friends all about the then-couple’s strange arrangement.
“I feel so bad for Amanda and Kyle. It’s not good,” Lindsay told her pals during a girls’ night out, confirming that the pair “have very separate lives.”
Lindsay then revealed to the group, “Amanda didn’t pay rent for the last three years,” noting that Kyle, 43, has since called to collect.
“So then he tallied it all up and charged her last week. I s*** you not,” Lindsay said as the other women were left speechless. “Charged her last week so then she had to pay him.”
Lindsay has been friends with Kyle since the beginning of Summer House, which filmed in 2016 before airing the following year. She also grew close to Amanda after Amanda and Kyle started dating season 1 of the Bravo series.
During Tuesday’s season 10 finale of Summer House, Amanda told Kyle she needed “space” and went to a hotel for a few days instead of leaving the Hamptons with him like they did every summer.

The events of the In the City premiere transpired in September 2025 just a few weeks after Summer House wrapped filming. At the time, Amanda and Kyle were back to living under the same roof and going to couples therapy.
Amanda and Kyle celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary during the In the City premiere — but before they finished their drinks at the bar, Amanda dropped another bombshell.
Kyle Cooke and estranged wife Amanda Batula made their first public appearance together since their drama with Summer House costar West Wilson erupted earlier this year. The former couple — who announced their separation in January — posed together on the red carpet at the New York City premiere for their Summer House spinoff show, […]
“I’m going to move out. I know it’s our anniversary. I’m not bringing it up, like, ‘I’m out, I’m leaving.’ This is like a month,” Amanda told Kyle. “This is not to end the relationship. I want to date again. I want to get together and spend time like this. I’m not doing this to run away. I’m doing this because I want it to work out.”
Kyle said he was “trying to be open minded,” but later told the cameras, “It feels extreme. I’m not sold on this being the solution.”
Four months after they shot that scene, Amanda and Kyle announced in January that they were getting divorce. Amanda has since started dating Summer House costar West Wilson, who previously dated Ciara Miller, which has caused a big rift among the cast.
In the City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Trends come and go, but Christie Brinkley reached for the timeless silhouette that outlasts them all. While hosting the Billy Joel: And So It Goes event, Brinkley donned bootcut jeans with a band T-shirt, a buttery leather jacket and edgy sandals. The best part? Her outfit formula flatters anyone. No matter how old you are, how long your legs are or what shape your body is, bootcut jeans can make you look and feel like a model.
While we don’t know where Brinkley’s exact jeans are from, it’s safe to say they’re out of our budget. We ran straight to Amazon to find a similar cut and landed on Luvamia High-Waisted Bootcut Jeans — only $30!

They’re designed with a slim fit through the thigh, a subtle kick at the hem and a high waist that smoothes your tummy and elongates your legs. The denim has just enough stretch to feel like leggings without losing its shape.
One five-star reviewer shared, “I think the higher waist helps hold in a bit of the tummy area, without giving a muffin top. The stretch of the fabric is nice and holds up through a whole day without getting stretched out.”
Sandals season is in full swing, and if you’re anywhere near New York City, you’ll see gold everywhere. Rich moms wear gold sandals nonstop, and Martha Stewart is part of the fandom. The A-lister probably has endless shoe options, and yet she reaches for the same sandals nonstop. We’re following suit, especially since Stewart’s classy […]

A story’s climax is a pretty decisive factor in its level of quality, and motion pictures are no exception. Regardless of how great a film’s first two acts are, if its climax isn’t able to stick the landing, chances are that the movie as a whole will end up falling flat. There are many factors that can make a movie climax great, and one of the most frequently successful is a well-constructed sense of suspense.
Indeed, whether it’s a thriller like Se7en or a non-thriller like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, cinema’s most suspenseful climaxes are proof of just how effective nail-biting tension can be in making a film unforgettable. Sky-high stakes and agonizing anticipation are what suspenseful scenes are all about, and the climaxes of these ten masterful gems of cinema definitely check those boxes.
There are spoilers ahead!
10
‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ (1966)
Sergio Leone is one of the most groundbreaking figures in the history of cinema, the father of Spaghetti Westerns and the author of some of the best Westerns in movie history. That includes what may very well be the greatest Western movie ever made: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, a bounty-hunting adventure epic led by Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef all at their best.
This trio of big-screen legends are at the center of one of the greatest movie climaxes of all time. We’ve grown to be so fascinated by this group of badass antiheroes that their iconic Mexican standoff, set to the tune of Ennio Morricone‘s transcendental score, is quite literally one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema. It’s a simple sequence that oozes suspense, because we truly don’t know who will come out on top. In hindsight, Angel Eyes’ death and Blondie riding off into the horizon with the gold feels inevitable; but during the film’s climax, it feels like anything could happen.
9
‘The Terminator’ (1984)
Canadian filmmaker James Cameron is a master of many things. He’s a master of the box office, a master of the action movie genre, and—of course—a master of breathtaking climaxes. Many of his films have third acts full of suspense, but none make it harder to not bite one’s nails than The Terminator. It was only Cameron’s second-ever film (a very effective redemption after his abysmal debut, Piranha II: The Spawning), yet you could already tell that you were in the presence of a master of his craft.
The Terminator has one of the most thrilling movie climaxes ever, where a Terminator who seems like he cannot be killed chases Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor through a factory, costing Reese his life. On top of being emotional, this climax is brimming with tension. A villainous force of nature that endures anything the hero throws at them tends to be a staple of the ’80s slasher genre, and The Terminator‘s climax almost makes it feel like a horror movie. It works wonderfully.
8
‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)
Christopher Nolan is another filmmaker who always knows how to make a climax that hits the spot, and there is perhaps no greater example of that aspect of his work than The Dark Knight. This isn’t just one of the greatest comic book movies ever made: It’s regarded by many as the single best superhero film in history, a reputation that has remained intact for what almost amounts to two decades by now.
Largely, The Dark Knight‘s quality comes from its having one of the best blockbuster movie climaxes of all time. The first half of the climax is a fight for the very moral heart of Gotham, where its citizens are every bit as important as Batman and the Joker; while the second half of the sequence forces the Caped Crusader to face the monster that Harvey Dent has become. And throughout all of these scenes, Nolan’s exceptional construction of a sense of suspense never lets up even a little bit.
7
‘Mission: Impossible — Fallout’ (2018)
Ever since its Brian De Palma origins back in the ’90s and all the way until its recent conclusion, the Mission: Impossible franchise remained one of the most widely respected and beloved action movie series in the world. But there’s really no question as to which of its installments is the best of the bunch: It has to be Mission: Impossible — Fallout, the M:I film that also happens to have the highest stakes of the whole series.
Those stakes are at their most pressing in the film’s climax, where Ethan Hunt chases after Walker on a helicopter to stop him from blowing up a nuclear bomb. This entire action-packed and tension-filled third act is a big reason why M:I — Fallout is one of the most exciting movie masterpieces ever. Packed with death-defying stunts that only make the whole thing more suspenseful, it’s arguably the best climax of the franchise.
6
‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ (1957)
It’s not only thriller nor only action movies that have immensely suspenseful climaxes, and proof of that is The Bridge on the River Kwai. This WWII epic was directed by David Lean, the master of the epic movie genre, and it made it all the way to seven Academy Award victories (including Best Picture). It all culminates in one of the best epic movie climaxes the world has ever seen.
Colonel Nicholson realizes his foolishness in bringing a bridge for the enemy and, after being mortally wounded by his own side, falls on the detonator plunger, destroying the bridge as he dies. Aside from being thematically brilliant, perfectly symbolizing the madness and pointlessness of war itself, this climax combines high-stakes narrative irony, excellent performances, and intense moral conflict to deliver a sequence packed with irresistible suspense.
5
‘Jaws’ (1975)
It was Steven Spielberg who fathered the concept of what we now know as blockbuster cinema, and he did so with 1975’s Jaws. An unprecedented kind of film in not just Hollywood, but the entire film industry, this creature feature has aged wonderfully as one of the greatest horror films of the 20th century. What follows one of the scariest movie opening scenes of all time is a rousing tale about the conflict between humanity and nature.
It all leads to a climax that’s incredibly tense for the same kinds of reasons that The Terminator‘s third act is so tense. Here we finally get to see the shark unleash the full might of his almost-supernatural rage, as he ravages the Orca and devours Quint in a jaw-dropping twist. Technically, the whole scene is flawlessly executed; and narratively, it feels like everythign the story has been building up to this whole time.
4
‘Uncut Gems’ (2019)
After the incredibly suspenseful parade of pure chaotic tension that was Good Time, the Safdie brothers followed up their success with Netflix’s Uncut Gems. Starring Adam Sandler at his very best, this is one of the most anxiety-inducing movies of the 21st century, as well as one of the most intense crime movies ever made. People who love thrillers that make them suffer through their whole runtime ought to check this one out.
All of gambling addict Howard Ratner’s stupid mistakes come to crash down on him in the movie’s final act. In a sad twist of irony, it doesn’t end up mattering that Howard’s final bet pays off and earns him over a million dollars: He’s still killed by an enraged Phil, who then kills Arno and starts looting Howard’s store. It’s a climax every bit as chaotic, stressful, and impeccably acted by Sandler as everything that’s come before, and that results in a sense of suspense that should be able to have anyone watching with their eyes half-covered.
3
‘Alien’ (1979)
Back in 1979, Ridley Scott practically revolutionized sci-fi horror with Alien, a film that has aged like fine wine in virtually every sense imaginable. The franchise that it spawned has definitely had its ups and downs, but the original is still one of the scariest horror movies ever made, introducing the world to one of cinema’s most iconic monsters: the bloodthirsty Xenomorph.
For the most part, Alien is a very slow-burning film, and that’s precisely where the potency and engrossing nature of its eerie atmosphere comes from. That slow pace continues on all the way until the climax, where Scott makes us think that Ripley has made it safely off the Nostromo, only to surprise us—and definitely surprise Ripley—with the reveal that there’s a certain undesired stowaway aboard her shuttle. It’s an incredibly tense and scary scene, and Sigourney Weaver acts the hell out of it.
2
‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991)
The latest film to achieve the honor of winning all five Big Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay) is The Silence of the Lambs, which also happens to be the only horror movie that’s ever won Best Picture at the Academy Awards. That’s hardly a surprise. It is one of the best thriller masterpieces of the last 80 years we’re talking about, after all.
Bolstered by Jodie Foster‘s incredible lead performance, the film’s final act is a masterclass in suspense, horror, and narrative catharsis. Clarice finally finds Buffalo Bill and confronts him at his base of operations, where he has to face the serial killer in complete darkness. She kills him, rescues who would have been his next victim, and escapes. It’s a simple enough confrontation, but it’s one so packed with nail-biting suspense that it’s almost unbearable how tense it is.
1
‘Se7en’ (1994)
David Fincher is arguably the modern king of the thriller genre, and there’s no film of his that better demonstrates all the reasons why than Se7en. This isn’t just a serial killer thriller: It’s a film so bleak and so cynical in its views of humanity that it almost feels like a horror film throughout its entire runtime, and that bleakness and cynicism are precisely what make its climax one of the thriller genre’s most iconic sequences.
“What’s in the box?” is a question that all fans of the genre are perfectly familiar with. In one of the best thriller movie climaxes ever, John Doe reveals that he killed Detective Mills’ pregnant wife, manipulating the cop into killing him in a fit of rage. Thus, the final sin of Wrath was fulfilled, and Doe emerged victorious in the end. It’s an ending so tragic and suspenseful that it’s almost difficult to watch, but that’s precisely the charm of a well-executed thriller movie climax.

The eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham first opened up about being estranged from his parents in January.
Two years after the latest film entry in one of the greatest robotic sci-fi franchises hit theaters, confirmation has emerged that the franchise is set to return to theaters soon. When it comes to robotic sci-fi franchises, the likes of Star Wars, The Terminator, and Transformers are among the genre’s biggest names. However, the franchise currently making headlines is the latter, whose most recent installment, Transformers One, was released in September 2024 to positive reviews from critics, though it underperformed at the box office.
As one of the most popular franchises of all time, Transformers is produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy, with ownership currently shared between the two companies. Since the 1980s, the franchise has expanded across multiple film installments, one of which is set to return to theaters this fall. Titled The Transformers: The Movie, it was the franchise’s first feature film and was released in 1986 to generally negative reviews and a disappointing box-office performance. To make matters worse, the film upset audiences by killing off the Autobots’ leader, Optimus Prime, sparking backlash and even leading to a letter-writing campaign.
Now reports confirm that Hasbro and specialty distributor Fathom Entertainment have teamed up to theatrically re-release The Transformers: The Movie, which has since developed a cult following. The screening is timed to its 40th anniversary. Beginning September 17, 2026, the sci-fi classic will roll out in theaters across the U.S. through September 21. It will be presented in 4K while select international markets are expected to launch day-and-date with the U.S.
Did the Transformers Franchise Have a Strong First Film Entry?
As the first film entry in the Transformers franchise, The Transformers: The Movie delivers the familiar conflict between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. At the same time, it aimed for something far more ambitious and unexpected by taking bold creative risks, including killing off several well-known characters — most notably one of the franchise’s most beloved heroes, Optimus Prime. This year, Hasbro embraced the film’s infamous reputation and the nostalgia surrounding it by launching an Apology Tour packed with exclusive merchandise and new toy lines, seemingly in an effort to make amends with longtime fans.
Featured in the stellar voice cast of The Transformers: The Movie are franchise veterans Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and Frank Welker as Megatron, alongside Orson Welles as Unicron, Judd Nelson as Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Eric Idle as Wreck-Gar, and Robert Stack as Ultra Magnus.
The first Transformers film re-releases in theaters this September.

Will Trent received backlash after killing off several pivotal characters — and now Scott Foley is speaking out.
“What a wonderful gift to receive after a wonderful experience on #willtrent,” Foley wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of his name in the show’s title card. “Thanks to the cast and crew, the writers and creators who made the experience so special.”
He added: “This will surely make my wife and daughter say ‘Awww’ each time they pass by and really, that’s enough for me.”
Foley’s post comes after the May 5 season finale of the hit ABC series showed Angie (Erika Christensen) finally giving birth but her happiness was short-lived because her husband, Seth (Foley), died after collapsing in the hospital.
It is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters — and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey’s Anatomy to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed […]
“It’s just Game of Thrones out here,” Iantha Richardson, who plays Faith, joked during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. “I have no clue if death is imminent on this show [but] I hope not.”
Richardson, 35, recalled the reasoning she heard about Seth’s death, adding, “It sets up a beautiful emotional arc for people in the coming season of what’s to come. So there’s a lot to look forward to.”
Despite the potential onscreen growth, Richardson acknowledged how “hard” it is to see cast members leave the show.
“Losing people like that definitely keeps you on your toes. Nobody expected to lose one person — let alone two — in very different genres of what the show has. But to lose two in a matter of three weeks is just gut wrenching over and over again,” she noted. “What is expected is a lot of emotional roller-coasters. I don’t know if it’s death necessarily but I hope not. I do know that there is a lot of emotional recoil that will come in the season to come.”
Based on a book by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent follows a special agent at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who was abandoned at birth and grew up in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system. Will (Ramon Rodríguez) now relies on his unique perspective while pursuing justice, resulting in the highest clearance rate in the GBI.
In addition to Rodríguez, the show stars Richardson, Christensen, Jake McLaughlin, Sonja Sohn and Kevin Daniels. Season 4 threw viewers for a loop when Sohn’s character, Amanda, was killed off after being on the show since the beginning.
“I am never too comfortable in any space because you really just never know. But I don’t think [a possible death for Faith] is at the forefront of my mind,” Richardson told Us about her personal reaction to multiple cast exits within a matter of weeks. “I don’t think that would happen. But who knows. If it’s meant for the greater good of Will Trent then I’m sure there will be a great reason behind it and it’ll all happen in the best way. But I hope not.”
Will Trent has been renewed for season 3 and is currently streaming on Hulu.
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.”
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.

Akbar V later shared another freestyle with the caption, “This the time i get my lick back cause i been owing yall b****** like Tasha K.”
The rapper dropped several bars about industry relationships and drama.

These lyrics had folks wondering if she was taking shots at Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, and other female rappers.
Furthermore, she later took to X to share a photo of GloRilla’s sister, Victoria Woods, also known as B-Rilla. In the caption, Akbar wrote:
“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 Instagram user @she2real4fake1s wrote “Ng| she is talented, however, her antics, husband/ baby daddy drama and the way she carries herself on social media are what’s keeping people from taking her serious.”
