A former high school teacher in Georgia has been arrested after she allegedly had sex with a teenage boy who she claimed she “loved,” and she even begged him to run away with her to Mexico.

Amanda Katz, who worked as a teacher before becoming an administrator at Roswell High School, was arrested on Tuesday, June 2, and was charged with improper sexual contact with the boy.

Katz, 55, was arrested after the victim told investigators that he had unprotected sex several times with the educator, according to an affidavit viewed by the New York Post. He claimed that they were mostly intimate at her home and in the backseat of her Jaguar car.

The most recent time Katz and the boy had sex was when she invited him and his family on vacation over Valentine’s Day. During the trip, the boy’s mom found several disturbing texts that confirmed that her son was intimate with Katz.

A math teacher at a Florida high school was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor after a student’s parents became suspicious of an “inappropriate relationship,” authorities said. Special Victims Unit agents with the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Kirsten Rose, who works at Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School, on Friday, April 10, according to […]

The family then fled the vacation and Katz returned to work in a “manic” state. She reportedly told her coworkers that she was “distraught” that “she could no longer see her ‘boyfriend’ because his mother doesn’t like her,” per the affidavit.

“While expressing this, it ultimately came out that the male Amanda was discussing was [the] juvenile,” police wrote in the affidavit.

Amid the investigation, police found that Katz and the boy exchanged 19,585 texts between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Police said that the messages made it clear that Katz was smitten with the victim.

“As much as I loved falling asleep next to you and you growling, I want you … I am not even sure we could hide it,” she allegedly wrote in one text message, which was included in the affidavit. “I am crazy about you …. I have done a lot of stupid things. A lot. But this is top level.”

She also told the boy that the sex was “fun” in another message and said that she would “walk away from everything” to be with him. “The easiest thing would be to leave Roswell,” she added.

Katz also allegedly texted the boy after his mom learned about their relationship, telling him, “I loved you. And this is the most f***** up and scary thing that has ever happened to me.”

“You f******* broke my heart … This is probably the worst thing anyone has ever done to me. You abandoned me. You did, not your mom,” she allegedly continued.

A teacher in Wisconsin has been arrested after she allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy. Keisha Stuart made her first appearance in court on Tuesday, May 26, after she was charged with second-degree sexual assault of a child, exposing a child to harmful material and sexual misconduct by a school staff member. […]

The boy claimed to investigators that Katz was so invested in their relationship that she “wanted to go further in their relationship, move in together, and commit to each other.”

“[Katz] had told him that she wanted to move to Mexico with him, but he did not want to do that, nor did he understand why she would want to go there,” he claimed, per the affidavit.

Katz was put on leave during the initial investigation into the boy’s claims and she officially resigned on April 30.

Hollywood is mourning the loss of Anthony Head. Following news that the beloved “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso” actor died at age 72, an outpouring of tributes quickly flooded social media, with former co-stars and friends reflecting on the impact he had both on and off screen.

Anthony Head’s death comes just six months after the loss of his longtime partner, animal therapist and animal rights advocate Sarah Fisher, who died of thyroid cancer at age 61.

Among the first to publicly react was Head’s former “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” co-star David Boreanaz, who played vampire-turned-hero Angel on the iconic supernatural series.

Boreanaz shared a photo of Head on social media and paid tribute to his late castmate with a heartfelt message. “RIP, he was so kind and generous of a soul,” the actor wrote.

Head famously portrayed Rupert Giles, the beloved librarian and mentor to Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy Summers, during the show’s seven-season run from 1997 to 2003. The role helped cement Head as a fan favorite in the United States after first finding fame in the United Kingdom.

More ‘Buffy’ Stars Honor Anthony Head

Additional “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” cast members also shared emotional tributes to Head, remembering him not only as a talented actor but as a deeply kind presence behind the scenes. James Marsters, who portrayed fan-favorite vampire Spike, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram while reflecting on Head’s lasting impact.

“There’s a hole in the World. Anthony Head has passed on from us,” Marsters wrote. “He was an unflaggingly kind and steady presence on the set of ‘Buffy,’ and the best actor in the cast. He was the best of us.”

The actor went on to reflect on the lessons he learned from Head during their years working together. “I was lucky to have known, and learned from him,” Marsters continued. “He left the world a better place for his presence. Thank you Tony for all you gave.”

Meanwhile, Emma Caulfield, who portrayed fan-favorite demon-turned-human Anya Jenkins, shared a deeply personal memory alongside a photo of the late actor. “This was taken on the London Underground in 2011. I went to visit my friend Tony on the set of ‘The Iron Lady,’” Caulfield wrote. “We had lunch, hit up a record store, had dinner and drinks and laughed until our sides hurt. It was a perfect day.”

She continued, “There were many of these moments with this amazing human who I was lucky enough to call my friend for 27 years. He was kind and wise and a guide in troubled times. You were so loved. Impossible to caption. You are so missed. rest in peace with your beautiful Sarah-Emma.”

Matt Lucas Reflects On Working With Anthony Head

Actor and comedian Matt Lucas also honored Head, remembering the late actor’s warmth and generosity during their time working together on “Little Britain.” “I am very sad indeed to learn of the passing of Tony Head,” Lucas wrote. “When we were casting ‘Little Britain,’ we were looking for a ‘Tony Head-type,’ because we never imagined for a moment that the man himself would be interested, but he was. Lucky us.”

Lucas went on to praise Head’s character behind the scenes. “He was unfailingly brilliant, and always so kind and warm,” he added. “My heart goes out to Daisy and Emily.”

Head portrayed the Prime Minister in Little Britain, starring opposite David Walliams’ hopelessly devoted assistant Sebastian.

Brett Goldstein Shares Emotional Tribute To ‘Ted Lasso’ Villain

Head’s “Ted Lasso” co-star Brett Goldstein also paid tribute to the actor, reflecting on the contrast between Head’s villainous on-screen persona and his real-life personality. Goldstein, who played fan-favorite Roy Kent on the Apple TV+ hit, praised Head for bringing complexity to the role of Rupert Mannion.

“Anthony Head was a brilliant actor who played the worst person in the world, which was an incredible skill because he was the best person,” Goldstein wrote. “Infinitely charming and kind and fun and a joy,” he continued. “He will be sorely missed. Love to his family.”

Head most recently appeared in “Ted Lasso” as the manipulative Rupert Mannion, the former owner of AFC Richmond and ex-husband to Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca Welton.

Anthony Head Died Peacefully At 72

Head died “peacefully of complications due to pneumonia,” according to a statement shared Friday by his daughters, actresses Emily Head and Daisy Head. “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father, Anthony Head,” the sisters said.

The emotional statement continued, “We know how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues, and fans of the shows he was in. He loved his job very much, and he always considered himself incredibly lucky to have been able to work alongside such exceptionally talented people, in such wonderful productions, across a career that spanned several decades.”

The family also requested privacy as they navigate the heartbreaking loss. Head’s death arrives during an already devastating chapter for the family, following the December death of Sarah Fisher, with whom he shared daughters Emily and Daisy.

Roommates, Megan Thee Stallion has been hit with a $1.2 million lawsuit from Six K and Eric Archibald over alleged unpaid wardrobe services. The complaint landed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, and Archibald says Meg hired him for multiple events but never paid him. Now Meg is speaking out and addressing the allegations.

Details On Wardrobe Stylist’s Lawsuit Against Megan Thee Stallion

PEOPLE reports that Megan Thee Stallion contacted Six K to bring in Eric Archibald for wardrobe services. However, Archibald and Six K say Megan never paid for multiple events, which they claim ran from Jan. 8, 2024 through August 2025. Six K and Archibald also say they submitted invoices tied to each related Stallion entry from January 25, 2025 to January 8, 2026. They claim each invoice came with a deal memo that the related Stallion entry acknowledged via email, according to the document.

One invoice submitted as evidence shows Megan and her entities allegedly owe Six K $1,243,501.98 for services across several events. Six K and Archibald also included a sample deal memo as part of their evidence. The document breaks down a July 8, 2025 invoice for styling services for the Pete & Thomas Foundation Inaugural Gala in New York City, which Megan attended on July 16, 2025. The memo toals $53,800 and reportedly covers prep days, assistants and three gowns. Archibald and Six K also claim that the lack of payment has affected them personally. They allege a portion of the money owed covers vendors. Now, the two are demanding an immediate payment for outstanding services.

“Despite the fact that Six K has made numerous and unsuccessful attempts to resolve payment over the course of the last two years, there is still no imminent direction towards settlement between the parties,” the complaint alleges.

Meg Reacts To Lawsuit For Unpaid Fees

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t holding back either. She responded to the claims from Six K and Eric Archibald in a statement shared with PEOPLE. The rapper said her finance team ran a full audit of the expenses and invoices, but they couldn’t verify the addresses. She said that alone raised concerns about the legitimacy of the charges, which she says her team tried to resolve privately with Eric’s team.

“My finance team conducted a comprehensive audit of Eric Archibald’s wardrobe expenses and uncovered fraudulent invoices, unsupported charges, and styling shipments tied to addresses that could not be verified. Those findings raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of expenses that we repeatedly tried to resolve privately with Eric’s team. Rather than address the issues from the audit, Eric and his team chose to file a lawsuit. The facts are on our side and I won’t be coerced into paying charges that can’t be substantiated.”

Social Media Weighs In On Meg’s Lawsuit

After The Shade Room shared the details about Megan’s lawsuit, the Roomies flooded the comment section with reactions. Plenty of fans said they stand with her and wished folks would fall back and leave her alone.

Instagram user @itsbootyfulme wrote, “1.2 Mil…on styling? Be fr nie’ 😂” 

Instagram user @mr.slapu wrote, “what kind of stylist charging $1 million dollars 😂” 

While Instagram user @totallyti_ wrote, “Y’all love playing with her in court knowing she win every time 😭😭😭” 

Then Instagram user @__celfie.queen wrote, “They need to leave my good sis alone omg.” 

Another Instagram user @mamaiwant2write wrote, “I’m starting to feel like people love just picking on Meg like what’s the problem.” 

While another Instagram user @ima_gemmmm wrote, “Y’all just won’t leave this woman alone. 😒” 

Instagram user @kenny.ea wrote, “1.2 mil? Yea that getting thrown away quickk!” 

Then another Instagram user @kanedrajuicycouture wrote, “This is called the pretty girl affect … when you’re beautiful, fine educated, the whole package! And you’re a BLACK WOMAN Just know the whole world is programmed to hate you!” 

Finally, Instagram user @ashleyshannon96 wrote, “There is no stylist in the world that would allow someone to accumulate $1.2 million in unpaid fees… y’all gotta start using your brain cells.” 

Megan Teases Her Role In The Upcoming ‘Baywatch’ Reboot

In the middle of the lawsuit chatter, Meg also gave fans a peek at how she’s stepping into the ‘Baywatch’ reboot. A video surfaced showing the Hot Girl looking snatched in a bikini with big, voluminous brown curls. Clips also show her on the beach filming scenes, and let’s just say she’s definitely bringing the heat.

Kelsea Ballerini isn’t afraid of reinventing herself — both on stage and off — and her current chapter in New York City is just the latest example.

“I’ve always wanted to have a little New York moment,” Ballerini, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Amplify Your Ambitions Singing Concert & Competition, presented by SoFi, in Nashville on Thursday, June 4, while kicking off the 2026 CMA Fest. “I’ve always romanticized that, and I never knew if music would bring me up there or some part of my job, but … after putting out [my album] Patterns and then the Mount Pleasant EP, I was like, ‘OK, I’m gonna just step away for a second. I need a shift.’”

Ballerini added that she was ready to have her “Carrie Bradshaw moment” — and city life is living up to her wildest expectations.

“I have a stoop!” she gushed. “I sit out on it every night. Glass of wine, and I’m just people watching with my little podcast. It’s so nice.”

Ballerini noted that her time in NYC will only end up being a “little chapter,” but it’s already “been really fun.” She’s also learned a few valuable lessons since settling in.

“I think it’s reminding me to stay really open in life, that you never know when you can make a new friend, and you never know when you can reconnect to your independence, and what that can look like in different seasons,” she told Us. “And I think I’m still on my journey to find the best dirty martini in the city, so I have two months left to find it.”

For Ballerini, the move from Nashville marked a special milestone.

“I’ve been in Nashville since I was 15, and so all my friends are here, my family is here in Knoxville,” she said, “so this is the first time that I’ve kind of done something truly on my own, and it feels exciting.”

Her inner circle, of course, includes other women taking the country music scene by storm. When asked which fellow artist will always be there for her no matter what, Ballerini named Carly Pearce.

“I think there’s such [a] beautiful camaraderie between all the women [in country], there really is, and I can say that genuinely,” she explained. “But Carly and I are sweatpants friends, like, we kick it, you know?”

Last month, fans saw rising star Ella Langley thank Ballerini on stage at the 2026 ACM Awards while accepting her Female Artist of the Year trophy. Looking back at her own career, Ballerini opened up about the importance of paying it forward to other artists.

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes are “not back together” despite a recent hangout in New York City, multiple sources tell Us Weekly exclusively. “There’s always a feeling of unfinished business with them, and both feel it’s hard to fully close the door on the relationship,” one source explains to Us, noting that there haven’t been […]

“I think in every stage of your career — in every career, but I can speak to mine — it is so important to ask questions and find mentors and people that just can come alongside you and grab onto you and hold you up and push you forward,” she told Us on Thursday. “For me, I remember … God, this was, like, 12 years ago now. ‘Love Me Like You Mean It,’ my first single was not even top 40 yet, and Taylor Swift tweeted about it, and it changed my life.”

Ballerini continued, “Since then, Faith Hill has become such a warm voice to me, and Wynonna [Judd] has let me truly sit on her couch, and be like, ‘What am I doing with my life?’ And Karen Fairchild, and Alison Krauss, and Trisha Yearwood. They have carved such a path in this industry, and to be able to have them to look forward to really excites me to hopefully do the same.”

As for her own next steps, Ballerini teased that she’s “lucky enough to be a part of quite a few collaborations” in “a couple different genres” that she’s “really excited about.”

Like always, fans can expect to hear Ballerini share her vulnerable side through her lyrics — but maybe less so online following her split from ex Chase Stokes.

“I think in music it’s the safe place to have that forum to say all the things that are worth celebrating, and some of the things that you’re like, ‘Oh gosh, this is so embarrassing,’ or whatever it is,” she told Us. “As I’m getting older, I’m learning that I just want to keep it in my music now, and the rest of my life I just get to, like, hide out in NY.”

Ballerini was back in Nashville on Thursday as SoFi hosted the live finale of its Amplify Your Ambitions Contest at Analog at Hutton Hotel. The nationwide competition — created in partnership with Ballerini and the Country Music Association — spotlights emerging artists and helps address the financial barriers that can stand in the way of building a career in music.

After performing in front of Ballerini and other judges, Karen Hardy was named the winner, earning a grand prize of $200,000. Runners-up Shantania and The Kentucky Gentleman were each awarded $50,000.

Ahead of the contest, Ballerini gushed all about her partnership with SoFi.

“What’s really incredible about this Amplify Your Ambitions [contest is] we have narrowed over 500 submissions down to three artists, or three acts, and they’re all incredible. I think about 12 [or] 13 years ago when I was waiting for that first break, and you’re investing so heavily in yourself, especially financially. It takes a lot. The winner’s gonna get $200,000 and the two other artists are gonna get 50,000 and that is life-changing money to invest into yourself and your life and your career. It’s one of the reasons that I really do love partnering with SoFi. They are always helping their members try to move forward and invest back into themselves.”

In the Saw movies, a very simple formula is followed: a group of people wake up in captivity and have to complete a series of sadistic games in order to be let out alive. Of course, I’m grossly oversimplifying the premise, but that’s all I really need to know so I can compare the horror franchise to the 2021 Canadian comedy, Stanleyville.

There is one important distinction that completely separates Stanleyville from the Saw movies, however: everybody participates in the games voluntarily, and they’re doing it to win an SUV. We get five people, all of whom want to win a new SUV, showing up to play a series of bizarre games that make no sense at first, but become downright horrifying once more context is established.

It’s worth noting that Stanleyville is not a horror movie. It’s a straight-up comedy, one that thrives on each character’s quirks and idiosyncrasies. Every single person here, sans our protagonist, is absolutely insufferable, and if I’m being honest, it’s hard to like our main character too. But you eventually warm up to her. Kind of.

Jigsaw Is A Much More Intimidating Name Than Homunculus

When we’re first introduced to Maria Barbizan (Suzanne Wuest), it’s hard to size her up. A hawk flies into her office building’s window and dies in front of her, prompting her to leave work, abandon her family, throw out her money and cell phone, and take a trip to the airport with no real plan in mind. She’s approached by a man calling himself Homunculus (Julian Richings), who offers her a spot in his competition, giving her the date and time she needs to show up.

Upon arrival, Maria is acquainted with arrogant trust-fund baby Andrew Frisbee Jr. (Christian Serritiello), exercise and supplement addict Bofill Pancreas (George Tchortov), flamboyant eccentric Manny Jumpcannon (Adam Brown), and Felicie Arkady (Cara Ricketts), who is so in it to win it that you don’t want to get on her bad side. Or her good side, for that matter. Just stay away from Felicie. That’s my advice.

Each round of the “competition” escalates from blowing up balloons or creating a fully functional telecommunications device in less than 14 hours to writing a national anthem for the entire world or cutting off somebody’s earlobe.

Maria, who’s not really interested in the first-place prize but instead searching for a deeper purpose in her life, successfully creates a communications device using a conch shell, from which a disembodied voice tells her how to proceed. As the competition moves forward, however, some of the advice comes across as equal parts hostile and cryptic.

Set ‘Em Up, Knock ‘Em Down

As much as I wanted to love Stanleyville for its characterization and oppressively sparse setting, I still felt like something was missing. The ending is ambiguous, leaving the whole thing open to interpretation, but even those interpretations leave a lot to be desired. Consumerism is wrecking us. You can’t self-actualize if you’re trapped in the rat race. Blah, blah, blah. These are all great messages to consider, but I felt robbed of a meaningful payoff because it just… kind of ends.

I truly enjoyed spending time with every single character because they’re all so unhinged in their own charming way, but part of me wishes we had more time to explore their relationships with each other throughout the competition. For what it’s worth, every character brings their A-game, and you don’t necessarily need a satisfying payoff to enjoy spending time with them under the oddest circumstances.

As of this writing, Stanleyville is streaming for free on Tubi.

Ryan Lochte‘s girlfriend, Molly Gilihan, has the swimmer’s back 100%. In a new interview with Sean Hannity, Gilihan shed light on their headline-making relationship and also discussed how they’re moving past the swimmer’s previous drug use. According to Gilihan, her primary focus is honesty and transparency.

Gilihan spoke with Hannity about the “life [Lochte] was living” before they got together, saying the Olympian used to deal with “so much shame.” Continuing, Gilihan said that getting high was the only thing that made the swimmer feel better.

While Lochte has been open about his sobriety journey, Gilihan said that she wants complete honesty from her boyfriend should he ever find himself struggling with drugs in the future. “I just want to make sure he never gets to that point again, where he feels like he has to hide anything from me,” she said.

She added, “So, if he ever gets to the point where he wants to go out with a buddy and there’s cocaine there, and say he even does it, I want him to come home and tell me, and we tackle it together.”

Molly Gilihan Said She’s Scared That Ryan Lochte Will Hide Future Drug Use From Her

That wasn’t all Gilihan had to say. Elsewhere in the episode, she said she feared Lochte one day lying about potential struggles. “What scares me is him hiding it from me and thats what I’ve expressed,” she said.

According to Lochte, though, lying isn’t an option. “I don’t hide anything from her. She’s my best friend. We have an open phone policy. We have nothing to hide,” he told Hannity.

Ryan Lochte In The Middle Of A Messy Divorce With Estranged Wife, Kayla Reid Lochte

As the episode continued, Lochte said that he “never had” an open phone agreement with his estranged wife, Kayla Reid Lochte.

Don’t forget, in the summer of 2025, Kayla filed for divorce from her estranged husband, claiming it was one of the “hardest decisions” she’s had to make.

“I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life. I’ve been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds,” she wrote online, according to The Blast.

She added, “I’ve come to the understanding that staying isn’t always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself.”

Kayla Accused Her Estranged Husband Of Using Cocaine In Front Of Their Minor Children

According to a previous report from The Blast, Lochte opened up about pursuing sobriety after a previous car accident left him dealing with “depression, loneliness and feeling like I was giving up in life.”

He later revealed that he checked himself into a Florida recovery center. “The staff has been incredible. They helped me realize substance abuse isn’t a solution. It’s just a distraction that makes things worse,” he added.

His confession came weeks after Kayla said her estranged husband had an alleged “history of substance abuse.”

She also claimed that she once found “mostly empty baggies of cocaine” around their shared home, including in their children’s bedrooms and bathrooms.

Lochte Is Writing A Tell-All Memoir About His Life

Lochte’s reported struggles will be detailed in his upcoming tell-all memoir. In December 2025, the swimmer revealed that he was working on the project to inform the public about the man behind the medals.

“I went from a single guy who only cared about surfing and hanging out with his friends and family, who had barely kissed a girl until I was in college — I know — to becoming one of the world’s most eligible bachelors,” he said in a video, per The Blast.

“The parties, the glam, the celebrities, the life most people couldn’t fathom. I was on top of the world, and in an instant, I became the most hated person in the world,” he continued.

Before Lochte’s recent appearance on Hannity’s show, the swimmer had made headlines after it was revealed that he had taken an assistant coaching position at a Missouri college for $34/hour.

The reported $30,000 contract will run from August 2026 to June 2027 and also features bonus opportunities, such as an extra $750 for a Conference Championship and $500 for NCAA Championship qualifiers.

For many fans, “The Santa Clause” is a Christmas staple that returns year after year during the holiday season. But for David Krumholtz, starring in the beloved franchise apparently does not translate into massive paychecks. The actor, who famously played Bernard the Head Elf in Disney’s 1994 holiday hit and its 2002 sequel, recently revealed the surprisingly small amount he now earns in residuals from the fan-favorite films.

Speaking to Page Six during the press day for “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been” on May 26, Krumholtz explained why his residual checks from “The Santa Clause” franchise are nowhere near what fans may expect.

“They’re minimal because the movie plays so much,” he said. “This is how residuals work: every time it plays, you make less. It’s a grade scale.”

Krumholtz, who is now 48, starred as Bernard the Head Elf in the original 1994 movie alongside Tim Allen before returning for the 2002 sequel. Though he did not appear in the franchise’s third film, released in 2006, he later reprised the role in Disney+’s “The Santa Clauses” series in 2022.

According to the actor, the residual checks were once much more rewarding. “When I first got residuals from ‘The Santa Clause,’ it was good,” he explained, before estimating that he now makes roughly “$150 bucks a year” from the massively successful holiday franchise.

‘Oppenheimer’ Now Pays More Than ‘The Santa Clause’

Despite appearing in one of Disney’s most beloved Christmas films, Krumholtz admitted he currently earns more in residuals from a much more recent project: Christopher Nolan’s 2023 blockbuster “Oppenheimer.”

The actor, whose resume also includes “10 Things I Hate About You,” the “Harold & Kumar” franchise, and the CBS drama “Numb3rs,” joked about just how modest those checks are, too. When asked how much Oppenheimer brings in, Krumholtz initially laughed off the question. “That’s none of your business! What kind of question is that?” he joked before adding, “It’s $12.73. It’s enough to buy a hot dog in New York.”

David Krumholtz Reflects On Career And New Role

Krumholtz is set to appear in the upcoming “Supergirl” film and will also star in the New York City Center revival of “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been.” The production draws from original transcripts from the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings in the 1940s, when artists were questioned over alleged ties to the Communist Party.

Krumholtz portrays comedy writer Abe Burrows, the famed “Guys and Dolls” writer and father of legendary television director James Burrows. Reflecting on Burrows’ controversial role during the hearings, Krumholtz acknowledged the complicated circumstances many artists faced at the time.

“It’s essentially cancel culture in those times,” he said. “If someone was attempting to cancel me today for what I felt was an unjust reason, I suppose I’d do anything to get out of it. I love acting, and I love my career. I need it.”

Krumholtz Previously Opened Up About Terrifying Health Scare

Krumholtz also made headlines last year after revealing he “almost died” following a frightening health battle linked to marijuana use. Speaking to Page Six at the time, the actor said he resumed smoking marijuana after taking “a long break” before eventually becoming “a daily smoker.”

However, Krumholtz said the habit ultimately led to a diagnosis of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), a rare condition that can trigger repeated and severe vomiting episodes and is most commonly associated with long-term, frequent marijuana use.

“It’s rare, [but] it’s becoming more and more prevalent yearly, like, numbers are doubling every year,” the “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been” actor explained.

David Krumholtz Blamed Potency Of Modern Weed For Health Scare

The actor also suggested the increasing strength of modern cannabis products may be playing a role in the rise of cases. “Essentially, they messed up weed. They made it too strong, and they don’t know why it’s happening,” he said. “There’s a lot of theories.”

At the time, David Krumholtz described the ordeal as so severe that he believed he “almost died,” using his experience to raise awareness about the condition.
