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.

Karen Read has broken her silence after she filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts State Police and Canton Police Department after she was deemed innocent of killing her late boyfriend, John O’Keefe.

Read, 46, appeared on the Today Show on Tuesday, June 5, to reveal her goals for the lawsuit. She was joined by her attorney, Alan Jackson, who explained she’s seeking more than financial damages.

“What Karen wants, you cannot write on a check, which is exposure,” he said. “Exposure of the corruption that is the DNA of the Massachusetts State Police and the Canton Police Department.”

Read filed a lawsuit in Bristol Superior Court on Thursday, June 4, in which she claimed that her 2025 trial for the second-degree murder of O’Keefe, 46, revealed “an (embedded) culture of bigotry, misogyny, systemic failures, and institutional rot at the very core of both organizations,” according to court documents.

A jury found Read not guilty of O’Keefe’s murder after her first trial in 2024 resulted in a mistrial after a hung jury.

With her new lawsuit, Read said she is fighting against ways in which she believes she was wronged during her past trials.

“This was always our plan, that I had to save my own life first,” she said. “I can’t do anything if I’m not free. I had to fight for my freedom for years, and I knew as it unfolded I was never going to be able to just forget that this happened to me, that I was wronged in this way. I couldn’t just go back to life as it was. I have to continue fighting for justice.”

She added that the “acquittal is deserved, but the wrongs have not been completely righted.”

“They have been happening along the way, but I always knew this was going to happen if I could get the help legally to do this,” Read said.

O’Keefe died of blunt force trauma to the head after he was found mortally wounded on the lawn of the home of now-retired Boston police sergeant Brian Albert on January 29, 2022.

Read was accused of driving her SUV into O’Keefe while intoxicated and leaving him to die in a blizzard. She denied the allegations.

She was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene, and the jury only convicted her of the lesser charge of driving while intoxicated.

In the June 4 filing, Read shared disturbing voicemails, text messages and other communications between lead investigator Michael Proctor and former Canton police Sgt. Michael Goode as evidence. Neither person has been named as defendants in the lawsuit, and they both no longer work at their police departments.

Ever since TV was invented, we’ve been warned about the dangers of overconsumption, often referring to the device as an “idiot box.” In the 90s, parents would tell their children that if they sat too close to the TV, they’d get sucked into it. 1992’s Stay Tuned turns this fear into a reality for the Knable family when an emissary from hell makes a dirty deal with the family patriarch, resulting in him and his wife getting trapped inside a colorful world of satirical sitcoms and cartoons that are trying to kill them. It’s a lot of fun, and the kind of low-stakes fantasy comedy you could watch with your kids.

While there’s plenty of surface-level humor that everybody can enjoy, this movie thrives on deep cuts and meta humor. If you have young kids, for example, they may not get the Driving Over Miss Daisy reference per se, but the humor of watching it play out in the form of what’s essentially a live-action cartoon won’t be lost on them.

Don’t Get Sucked In! 

Stay Tuned gets most of its laughs from sight gags and its many TV references. The hellish landscape navigated by the Knable family at the center of its adventure is jam-packed with pop culture references. They’re your typical suburban family, but Roy (John Ritter) and Helen (Pam Dawber) Knable are on the verge of divorce due to the former’s TV addiction. If he’s not working his dead-end sales job at the plumbing company, he’s parked firmly in front of the boob tube, neglecting his family.

When Helen smashes the TV, Roy gets a surprise visit from a mysterious salesman named Johnny Spike (Jeffrey Jones), who makes him an offer he can’t refuse: a brand-new, state-of-the-art TV and dish system with 666 channels that nobody else in the world has access to. Roy signs the contract without hesitation, which results in both him and Helen getting sucked into the massive satellite dish that was just installed and thrown into the middle of a game show called You Can’t Win!

Behind the scenes of the game show production, we learn that Johnny Spike’s whole racket is luring people like Roy into this version of hell, where TV addicts’ souls are collected under a very simple agreement: if they can survive 24 hours of TV torture, they get returned to the mortal realm. However, the contract stipulates that if they don’t survive, they’re doomed to an eternity of similar treatment because their souls now belong to Satan.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, the couple’s children, Darryl (David Tom) and Diane (Heather McComb), are enjoying a night without parental supervision, not yet knowing what happened to their parents but curious about the gigantic satellite dish that’s now sitting in their backyard. Darryl, the nerdier of the two, puts two and two together after seeing various iterations of his parents on the new TV while channel surfing, and he needs to convince Diane that what he’s seeing is actually real.

Come For The Storytelling, Stay For The References

What really makes Stay Tuned shine is its willingness to go all in on TV tropes. Every time the channel changes, Roy and Helen are whisked away into a different television program, and each one is stylistically accurate. The set pieces do a lot of the heavy lifting here, as the couple has to navigate and participate in game shows, wrestling matches, hard-boiled noir thrillers, historical epics, prank shows, and, for John Ritter’s character, the worst thing of all: he’s back on the set of Three’s Company. The production goes all out, and you can tell a lot of care went into each style parody because every one is more ridiculous than the last.

At one point, Roy gets trapped in a Saturday Night Dead skit called “Duane’s Underworld,” and it’s about as glorious as you’d expect.

My favorite part about Stay Tuned, though, is how much effort went into all of the little one-off shows that the kids see while flipping through the channels. Programs like Sadistic Hidden Videos, Northern Overexposure, Three Men and Rosemary’s Baby, and The Exorcisist are some prime nugs worth mentioning, but the references and name drops seem endless. If you’re a fan of the countless sight gags crammed into a single scene of The Simpsons, you’ll feel right at home here because the visual jokes are pretty much nonstop.

While a commercial failure that received middling reviews upon its initial release, Stay Tuned is worth your time if you like that “blink and you’ll miss it” style of joke delivery that never lets up. This is not a high-stakes film, but I’ve got to give it credit where it’s due. If you’re well versed in 80s and 90s sitcoms and cartoons, you’ll have a great time watching Stay Tuned with the wife and kids the next time you want a rapid-fire buffet of TV and movie tropes that are easy to digest.

As of this writing, you can stream Stay Tuned for free on Tubi.
