Dame Dash Throws Major Shade At Jay-Z After Roots Picnic Diss
Roommates, when it comes to Dame Dash and Jay-Z, it seems there’s always a new chapter in their never-ending saga. While some former business partners keep things cordial from a distance, Dame apparently had a few thoughts he just couldn’t keep to himself this week. From critiquing Jay-Z’s recent performance to offering up an unexpected review of what he claims the rapper’s breath smelled like back in the day, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder put Jay’s name — and allegedly his mouth — back in the conversation once again, and social media is already sounding off.

Dame Explains Why Jay-Z Had Him Embarrassed
During a recent conversation with The Art of Dialogue, Damon Dash shared his reaction to Jay-Z’s rare solo performance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia—and let’s just say he wasn’t handing out compliments. Dame admitted he felt “embarrassed” for his former business partner, saying he couldn’t understand why the rap mogul was still performing at this stage in his career.
“It must be embarrassing for him to now have to be on that stage, not the same version of himself, and still have to work at that age because he has to,” Damon Dash said.
Dame Claims Jay-Z’s Breath Needed Help
As if critiquing the show wasn’t enough, Dash took things a step further by revisiting a personal gripe he’s apparently been holding onto for years. While reflecting on their history together, he randomly claimed that Jay-Z’s breath “always used to stink,” adding that chewing cinnamon gum allegedly didn’t help the situation.
“Jay’s breath always used to stink. And you know why, because for some reason — don’t you hate when n*ggas got bad breath and chew Big Red [gum.] It’s just cinnamon doo-doo. Nobody wants to smell that,” Dash revealed.

Did Jay-Z Address Damon Dash Onstage At Roots Picnic?
Despite the barrage of jokes and criticism, Dash went on to suggest that fans no longer want to see this version of Jay-Z and even jokingly launched his own “Make Jay Great Again” campaign, urging the Brooklyn icon to ditch the natural hair, get a Caesar cut, throw on a Yankees cap, and return to the image Dame believes fans remember most. But Dash didn’t stop there, also poking fun at Jay’s now-signature afro and claiming the hairstyle was so distracting he could barely focus on the performance itself.
Meanwhile, fans quickly pointed out the irony of the comments, especially given Dash’s own well-documented financial struggles. To make matters even messier, some listeners believe Jay-Z may have subtly addressed Dame during his Roots Picnic set when he rapped about a “Chatty Patty” who was “down on his luck again” — a line many interpreted as a direct shot at his former Roc-A-Fella partner.

Days of our Lives Early Spoilers June 8-12: Gwen Plots Vengeance & Sarah’s Steamy Fantasy!
Days of Our Lives spoilers for June 8-12, 2026 see Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) pulling a dirty move to get revenge. But then again, I think she was provoked.
Also, Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) has a steamy fantasy that shocks her. And as we always do it on early edition day, we will start with what is happening the rest of this week and then we’re going to dive into what is going on next week.
Days of our Lives Spoilers Wednesday, June 3rd: Gwen Bargains with Leo
So, let’s get right to it. Lots to talk about. On Wednesday, June 3rd, we’ve got Gwen ready to give Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) the scoop of the century. We all know he has been dying to get the truth about what EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) has been up to down in the secret lab. And Gwen is gonna tell Leo. But only if he agrees to Gwen’s terms. So, she is definitely about to do EJ really dirty.
But she only did it after he did Gwen dirty on the money deal for the Versix, which as it turns out may not be that much since Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) is getting sick. Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) do some bonding, likely about EMT stuff since JJ’s looking to get hired as a first responder in Salem. He may also end up working with Javi’s boyfriend, Gus (Michael Ocampo), who wants to be a firefighter in Salem.
DOOL Spoilers: Rolf Has Awful News
EJ gets bad news from Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton). So, last week, if you remember, EJ had Lexie draw her own blood sample for him to deliver to Rolf. And of course, Mark Green (Jonah Robinson) found the dead rat. I don’t know if y’all noticed that reference.
The rat was called Miracle Max, a reference to the old guy from The Princess Bride who brought the hero back from the dead. So obviously Mark is going to tell Rolf what happened. And then he tells EJ that one of the rats treated with Lexie serum up and died. So EJ is terrified that his sister might be at risk. And if you remember, we leaked a while back that Lexie wasn’t going to last too terribly long. But EJ’s going to try all he can to save her.
Sarah is crushed, and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) comforts and supports her after the incident with her patient. We’ll see if the patient lived or died after the collapse in the square because I think Sarah was saying she couldn’t find a pulse. Remember, the patient took some pills that she couldn’t identify.
And we know there is a tainted pill crisis coming that Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) is warning about. So, this may be ground zero. Lexie Abe Carver (James Reynolds), and Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) enjoy family time together, and they should enjoy it while it lasts because this week, Lexie loses her balance, and she has some disturbing neurological symptoms while home alone.
Thursday, June 4th on Days of Our Lives: Sarah Torn Between Xander & Brady
Thursday, June 4th, Sarah finds herself unexpectedly torn. Xander was there for her when her patient collapsed. But it’s complicated, and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) is steadfast for her. But Sarah’s going to wake up from a disturbing dream, and she might have been fantasizing about her ex. So, when she wakes up after a hot dream about Xander, which is what I’ve heard is happening, it is going to shock her.
Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) tells Rafe to stop avoiding the subject when it’s just the two of them talking. And then together, Arianna and Rafe are questioning Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). Will they grill her and demand details about her messy split with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier)? Just wait till Ari finds out from Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) that Gabi paid him off. That’s going to be explosive on Days of our Lives.
Foster takes Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) out on a date, and I’m wondering if it’s going to be the first of many. I think it would be super sweet if she and Foster, you know, keep dating, fall in love, even if nobody will ever replace Doug in Julie’s heart.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Kate’s in Trouble
Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) and Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) get closer back to better. But she’s going to be in trouble with Roman soon because he apologized for misjudging Kate when that is not at all what happened. Roman’s going to find out that Kate did indeed target Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) on the book deal and then she lied to his face about it and he actually felt bad and apologized.
We’ll see Brady, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), and Belle Black (Martha Madison) honoring John Black‘s (Drake Hogestyn) memory as they acknowledge the emotional one-year anniversary of his death while they’re together as a family. And remember, Marlena asked Sarah to join them, so we’ll see if she shows up for it.
Marlena spends some time alone looking at the gold coin and a photo of John and thinking about the past. Look for Belle and Brady to continue puzzling over the chess set that Stefano left their dad, John. They’re going to get another clue delivered soon about whatever this is. That’s obviously Stefano’s last game.
Friday, June 5th on Days: Abe Needs Help
Friday, June 5th, Abe is looking for support from Marlena. And I suspect Abe needs some advice about his messy Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) and Lexie situation. Abe just can’t immediately stop loving. Although he reassured Lexi how happy he is to have her back and was kissing her at the house.
Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord) is also reassuring Rafe that she can deal with EJ. We know Cat’s running a con on EJ. She told Rafe that she is setting a trap. And I wonder if Cat has a hypnosis session with Marlena, gets some memories back. But then lies and tells EJ what she thinks will best manipulate him.
Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) made a choice that Johnny doesn’t like and he’s trying to change her mind. The oncologist put her off of the idea of chemotherapy because of his bad bedside manner and her concerns about her unborn child. So, we’ll see if Johnny can convince her to change her mind.
EJ wants Theo to come back to DiMera to work alongside Johnny because of the stress he is under because of Chanel’s cancer. I have no doubt that Lexie and Abe aren’t going to like that. But Theo is going to agree in the end and come back.
Week of June 8th-12th on Days of Our Lives: Philip Plots with Xander
Then the week of June 8th through the 12th, we’ve got Xander and Philip plotting very soon because something is gonna go awry with the Titan loan that sends them into a panic. Chanel stands firm on protecting her baby at all cost. Paulina and Lani Price (Sal Stowers) may try to talk to her about changing her mind about the chemo. But in the end, as moms themselves, they will understand and respect Chanel’s concern about putting the harsh chemicals into her body while she is pregnant.
Cat may recover some interesting memories from her time in Italy with EJ while she’s under hypnosis. And I do expect Cat to lie to EJ. And if he talks to Marlena about the memories in their therapy sessions, obviously she will know that Cat lied to EJ. But Marlena’s hands would be tied and she could not say a gosh darn thing.


Days of our Lives Spoilers: Holly Starts to Spiral
Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) mental health declined. The stress over the Sophia stuff is getting to her. And I suspect that Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) might soon be going after revenge since Belle refused to prosecute Holly.
Also, Lexie hides her growing health concerns from Abe and Theo. But she’s soon going to confide in EJ because she’s looking for help and for answers. And Lexie s very upset to think that Abe and Theo are going to lose her again once she realizes how bad it is. EJ’s turning to Rolf. He’s desperate and demanding that the demented doctor find a way to save Lexi.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Rachel Black Devastated
Rachel Black (Lorelie Olivia Mote) learns about Sophia’s death soon. And she’s devastated, not only because she lost a friend. But she’s also worried what it means for her. Brady and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haid) comfort her when Rachel worries that this means the Bayview doctors can’t help her, just like they couldn’t help Sophia because I’m sure they’re explaining that she was just very troubled. Hopefully they don’t tell her that she killed herself.
Belle and Brady may ask EJ about the missing pawn. They are very interested in this mystery. Watch for things to get tense at the hospital as EJ faces more scrutiny. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is back from China soon and may not be able to cope with the whole stepmom thing. Plus, tragedy is coming when Stephanie takes a pot shot from that gun that she’s obsessed with and it could ruin her marriage. Gabi continues to try and find a way to make amends to Philip. But he’s not open to anything she tries.

Monique Coleman Sparks Debate Over “Work Wife” Comment
Many of us were first introduced to Monique Coleman and Corbin Bleu in 2006 when they played love interests Taylor McKessie and Chad Danforth in the original ‘High School Musical.’ More than 20 years later, the pair has shared the screen in four films, including the ‘High School Musical’ trilogy and the 2021 Lifetime movie ‘A Christmas Dance Reunion.’
As the longtime friends celebrate over two decades of friendship, Monique recently found herself clarifying a few things after a message she shared sparked debate across social media.

Monique Coleman Celebrates 20 Years Of Friendship With Corbin Bleu
On Tuesday, a post from Monique Coleman began making rounds across social media. The post featured sweet photos of the actress alongside her longtime friend and co-star, Corbin Bleu, as the pair celebrated 20 years of friendship. Monique also tagged Corbin’s wife, Sasha Clements, in the post. The caption read, “20 years of loving this beautiful human. Thx for sharing your husband with me @sashclements #workwife #realwife.”
Social Media Reacts
Monique Coleman’s caption quickly sparked a debate across social media, with many users sharing their thoughts in The Shade Room’s comment section. While some felt the caption crossed a boundary, others argued that it was simply a harmless joke between longtime friends.
Instagram user @autty.c wrote, “Ain’t no way imma let my husband work wife say this in front of millions of people 😂😂”
Instagram user @ogdanidollas added, “The work wife hashtag would have me swinging. The whole caption actually”
While Instagram user @classiccourtneyyy wrote, “They were really all in this together huh”
Instagram user @prettychaoss_ wrote, “My inner child is screaming 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍”
Instagram user @simplyyyroyal added, “Atleast she thanked the wife. Kerry Washington would’ve just posted wedding pics and said I love you 😂😭✨”
While Instagram user @illnnanaa wrote, “Why yall upset??? fun fact for the plot twist the Wife took the picture 😂😂😂😂😂”
Instagram user @ki2.prettyy wrote, “Lmao ” thanks for sharing your husband with me” ¿ this is why mine can’t have female friends”
Instagram user @lala_skyy added, “Soulmates don’t always need to be romantic maybe they did realize it.”
While Instagram user @illnnanaa wrote, “Why yall upset??? fun fact for the plot twist the Wife took the picture”
Monique Clarifies Her “Work Wife” Comment Alongside A Photo With Corbin Bleu’s Wife Sasha
Following the online debate, Monique Coleman stepped into the comments to clear the air after one user wrote, “‘Thanks for sharing your husband’” is crazy verbiage.” The actress responded, “Let’s just chalk it up to millennial boomer language. It’s meant innocently and sincerely. Some people lose friends when they get married, and I’m grateful that’s not the case here.”
Monique later took to her Instagram Story and shared a smiling FaceTime screenshot with Sasha Clements. Alongside the photo, she wrote, “FaceTiming with @sashclements because apparently the joke I made in my last post is going viral. I didn’t know #workwife was fighting words. Oops, my bad.”
Furthermore, Sasha even reposted Monique’s story, writing, “The internet is silly… I love you so much @_moniquecoleman.”
Ultimately, Sasha also appeared to take the situation lightly. To note, she commented on Monique’s original post, writing, “My angels.”

Forget ‘The Boys,’ the ‘Supernatural’ Cast Has the Perfect Spin-Off Idea [Exclusive]
More than five years after Supernatural aired its controversial and widely critiqued final episode, the long-running fantasy series continues to inspire the kind of loyalty that most television shows can only dream about. Fans still regularly pack convention halls to hear stories from the cast, revisit favorite episodes, and celebrate characters who left a lasting impression across the show’s 15 seasons.
During a panel at Big Lick Comic Con NOVA moderated by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Amara and Rowena actors Emily Swallow and Ruth Connell spent time reflecting on their experiences joining the beloved series and becoming part of its famously devoted fandom. Eventually, one audience member asked a question about the future of the franchise that sparked an unexpected pitch. During the fan Q&A portion of the panel, one attendee asked a simple question: when is Supernatural going to get its own version of The Boys called The Girls? The suggestion immediately drew a laugh from the audience and an enthusiastic response from both actresses. Connell said:
“I love that question, I think The Girls is a great idea.”
Emily Swallow and Ruth Connell Want a Female-Led ‘Supernatural’ Series Called ‘The Girls’
Swallow was equally supportive, calling it “an excellent question” before offering her own thoughts on what such a project could look like. Rather than simply creating a direct counterpart to The Boys using women from the Supernatural cast, she suggested that a hypothetical series called The Girls could head in a completely different direction while still focusing on characters from the Supernatural universe.
There is, of course, a sizable and obvious connection between the two existing franchises. Supernatural was originally created by Eric Kripke, who now serves as the creative force behind The Boys, which just finished its five-season run on Prime Video. Connell even referenced Kripke while discussing the idea, noting that he remains heavily involved with The Boys. “I did make a slight complaint that a lot of the guys had been in The Boys but none of the women, but [Kripke just said] he respects the women too much to make them do The Boys,” joked Connell. Swallow, meanwhile, seemed more interested in imagining what a completely different type of show could look like if it ever carried the title The Girls.
The discussion also highlighted something that continues to make Supernatural stand out among genre television fandoms. Even years after the series concluded, fans remain deeply invested in its world and characters. Whether The Girls stays a convention joke or not, the idea stands as a fun reminder that the cast still enjoys thinking about the future of the franchise just as much as the fans do.

Ciara Miller’s Heartbreaking Admission During Reunion
During Part 2 of the “Summer House” reunion, Ciara Miller spoke with host Andy Cohen about her relationship with Amanda Batula and West Wilson, saying that she didn’t believe the pair ever really had her back. While discussing the challenges Miller has faced while dating interracially, the Bravo veteran said that Wilson and Batula’s earlier comments about empathizing with her as a Black woman weren’t authentic.

Miller has been open about the backlash she’s received from the public for being a Black woman who dates white men. During a specific conversation earlier in the season, Miller told Wilson and Batula that she had struggled to cope with the negativity.
She opened up even further about the dynamics of interracial dating with a producer, according to Bravo’s Daily Dish.
“The hardest thing with, like, the me and West situation is that, like, everyone’s always just like ‘Oh, you let a white man play you on national TV.’ And, like, it’s regardless of how we feel about each other; it’s, like, the way that it looks to the entire world. Yeah, I guess if I could help it, I would, but you can’t help who you love. You can’t help, like, who you are attracted to sometimes,” Miller said.
Ciara Miller Doesn’t Believe Wilson And Batula Actually Understood Her While Filming ‘Summer House’

While speaking with Cohen during Part 2 of the reunion, Miller recalled another conversation she had with Wilson and Batula, in which they said they recognized the backlash she had received. When asked whether Miller believed them, she said she did at the time but doesn’t now.
“After watching the season back, I think it’s very clear that Amanda and West were using buzzwords of like, ‘I see you. I hear you,’ to, like, satiate maybe what I needed to hear,” Miller said. “But they didn’t really see or hear me.”
Batula jumped into the conversation, insisting that she had been authentic with Miller over the summer.
“Everything that I’ve said to you over the summer, everything that I’ve felt, everything that we’ve talked about was truly how I felt in those moments,” Batula said. “I got caught up in my feelings, and I… I… It doesn’t matter. Like, this has hurt me a lot, like, for you.”
Ciara Miller Shares When She First Believed Wilson And Batula Were Hooking Up

The first two parts of the “Summer House” reunion have centered heavily on Wilson and Batula’s surprise romance. It’s caused discord within the cast because of Wilson’s previous relationship with Miller. Batula and Miller had also been best friends for six years.
Last week, Miller told Cohen that she believed Wilson and Batula were hooking up after seeing the latter’s location pinned at Wilson’s apartment in New York City.
“I, like, went to call Amanda to invite her out to drinks with me and Mia [Calabrese], and her location was at West’s house,” she said. “And so, I had called, and she didn’t answer. And then [I] texted, and [she] didn’t answer.”
Wilson and Batula confirmed their romance in March 2026 after intense speculation. In their joint statement, the two reality stars said, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Wilson’s Co-Stars Aren’t Vibing With Him

According to a previous report from The Blast, many of Wilson’s “Summer House” co-stars are furious with him for how he’s treated Miller.
KJ Dillard spoke with fellow cast member Carl Radke about the matter, saying Wilson hasn’t changed his behavior.
“I know people make mistakes. I’m someone that gives grace, trust me,” Dillard said. “I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and people have given me grace, but it just seems like he’s not learning from his mistakes.”
An Esteemed Journalist Also Slammed Wilson And Batula
Dillard isn’t the only one with something to say about the matter. On “Watch What Happens Live,” CNN veteran Kaitlan Collins shared a similar message.
“It’s really crazy to watch,” she said. “Just watching it, my main takeaway one, was Ciara Miller is the most graceful and gracious person that I’ve ever seen on television.”
She then shifted her focus to Wilson and Batula, saying that she was shocked by the pair’s “lack of empathy and remorse.”
Part 3 of the “Summer House” reunion continues on Bravo on June 9, 2026.

It’s Official, a New Kaiju Franchise Is Assembling the Greatest Monster Movie Cast Ever [Exclusive]
Giant monsters are all the rage right now, with Godzilla Minus One rampaging its way to the franchise’s first Oscar last year and Legendary’s MonsterVerse regularly stomping its way onto the big and small screen. Now, a new kaiju film is emerging from the bowels of the Earth, and it features a reunion from a fan-favorite Godzilla movie. Collider is proud to exclusively reveal new casting for Kaiju: Island of Fire, which is officially in production in Japan and is expected to be released later this year.
The latest additions to the cast are Yuki Morita (Godzilla), Jason Schombing (Timecop), Jerry Tremble (Heat), Dylan Schombing (Warcraft), and Seth Whittaker (Batwoman). They join the already announced Wes Wing (Godzilla Minus Zero), Tom Constantine (Snake Eyes), Robert Scott Field (Hoshi 35), Tomoko Ai (Terror of Mechagodzilla), Chuck Wilson (Two Homelands), Masaaki Neguchi (Made in Vancouver), Yoshiro Uchida (Gamera: The Giant Monster), Linda Miller (King Kong Escapes), Carl Craig (Gamera vs. Viras), and Inge Murata (Shin Godzilla). A number of the stars of Kaiju: Island of Fire are veterans of the kaiju genre; notably, Field, Wilson, and Gilbert all starred together in 1991’s Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, a classic kaiju movie that heralded the return of the three-headed dragon that some consider to be Godzilla’s archnemesis.
What Is Kaiju: Island of Fire’ About?
In Kaiju: Island of Fire, a construction crew is set to a remote and ancient Japanese island to begin building a new military base. When that team disappears, a multinational joint military and scientific task force is sent to retrieve them. Once there, however, the team finds that the island is a fiery hellscape. Soon, they’ll have to fight to survive against the enormous creature that calls the island home. Can any of them escape, or will they all fall prey to the massive, merciless monster? Either way, the movie is the first film in a planned franchise, so don’t be surprised if the beast doesn’t come to a permanent end by the time the credits roll.
Kaiju: Island of Fire is written and directed by veteran stunt performer Andrew L. Phillips, who has worked on films like Captain America: The First Avenger, World War Z, and The Dark Knight Rises; it is his second feature as director, after 2021’s Le Retour du Samouraï. It is produced by James H. Christy and Avery Guerra, and is a production of Northstar Pictures.
Kaiju: Island of Fire is now in production in Japan and is slated to be released later this year. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Jaliyah Ends Relationship With FunnyMike After Assault Claim
Since 2017, supporters have followed FunnyMike and Jaliyah Anderson’s on-and-off relationship journey. From engagements and arguments to breakups and reconciliations, the couple has shared many highs and lows publicly. Recently, things took a turn after Jaliyah accused FunnyMike of assaulting her in front of their children. Since then, supporters have been trying to figure out what led to the situation. FunnyMike later took to social media to share his side of the story. However, Jaliyah doesn’t appear to agree with how he’s handling things. Now, she’s speaking out with a new message as she opens up about entering a new chapter in her life.
RELATED: Oop! FunnyMike Fires Back At Social Media Users Following Jaliyah’s Claims That He Has Two Children On The Way (VIDEOS)
Jaliyah Talks About Breaking Unhealthy Cycles And How Her Children Inspired Her Decision To Walk Away
Jaliyah took to her Instagram Story to respond after FunnyMike denied claims that he reportedly has two children on the way. The YouTuber also appeared to joke about the situation by sharing an AI-generated post, sparking reactions across social media.
In her message, Jaliyah seemingly reacted to FunnyMike’s post. She explained that her decision to end their relationship is not rooted in anger, but in doing what’s best for their children. Jaliyah also shared that she’s focused on helping them navigate the situation after alleging that she was assaulted in front of them.
The influencer wrote,“While people on here are laughing at his narcissistic behavior and turning a serious situation into a joke, I’m the parent left picking up the pieces and answering the hard questions from my children. What happened isn’t funny when kids are involved. My children didn’t deserve to witness the things they witnessed, and they definitely don’t deserve to carry the confusion, fear, and hurt that comes after.
My focus is, and always will be, protecting my kids, loving them through this, and showing them that unhealthy behavior should never be normalized.
And yes, because of that, after 8½ years, I am finally leaving. Not out of anger, but out of love for my children and the example I want to set for them moving forward.
I have a responsibility to protect their hearts, their peace, and the way they learn what love is supposed to look like. If leaving means giving them a safer, healthier, and happier future, then that’s a choice I’ll make every single time. My children deserve peace and I so do I!”
FunnyMike Appears To Address The Ongoing Situation In A Final Instagram Story Post
Amid Jaliyah’s recent post, FunnyMike took to his Instagram Story with what appeared to be a response to the ongoing conversation surrounding the allegations.
In the video, he stated, “Y’all can paint me however y’all want to paint me. I told y’all I’m going to take every lick. Aye! Some people ain’t no saints though, dawg. Y’all always seen my vlogs, but y’all don’t know the half. Imma leave it at that.”
Social Media Reacts
Many gathered under The Shade Room Teens’ post to react to Jaliyah and FunnyMike’s messages. Supporters quickly shared mixed opinions and debated whose side they believed. While some supported Jaliyah, others felt there was more to the story. Some commenters even argued that, like always, the pair may eventually get back together.
Instagram user @neasynee_ wrote, “Leave and don’t go back. I mean even if it hurts you, it ain’t worth traumatizing your children. As a mother we have people’s childhood in our hands. Praying for peace 🙏🏽 “

Beyond the Gates Early Spoilers June 8-12: Dani in Bill’s Arms & Huge Y&R Crossover!
Beyond the Gates spoilers for June 8-12, 2026 see the huge Young and the Restless and BTG crossover as Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) winds up in Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) arms. We’ve also got a tornado blowing into Fairmont Crest and tragedy strikes. As we do on early edition day, we start with what is coming the rest of this week and then we look ahead at next week. Let’s get started!
Beyond the Gates Spoilers Wednesday, June 3rd: Naomi Has a Talk with Smitty
On Wednesday, June 3rd, we’ve got Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) having a long, long overdue chat with Smitty Smith (Mike Manning). He of course is the one who brought the red market ring to Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) attention and that started the whole undercover investigation. So I wonder if Naomi is going to be upset because Jacob almost died.
If not for Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin), her hubby Jacob would be gone and instead Derek is dead. Tyrell Richardson (Jaden Lucas Miller) goes to do something bold with Jessica. We’ll see if it’s more horizontal action.
And Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) offers some advice to his dad, Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson). And this may be about him annoying Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) by nominating her to be chief of staff without asking her, or stepping by setting Shanice Johnson (Ernestine Johnson) up for grief therapy with Nicole without asking Shanice. Ted’s just overstepping all around.
BTG Spoilers: Nicole Turns to Anita
Nicole goes to her mom, Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie), for advice. And Nicole tells Anita, “Not everything’s about sex, but she tells Nicole, isn’t that what this is about?” So, she may be asking Anita whether she should tell Ted that she’s been thinking about him while boinking his business partner Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley). I personally think that it’s kind of cruel for Nicole to go behind Shanice’s back and talk like this to Ted. That’s just me.
Monica McCormick (Iona Morris Jackson) tells Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) her decision about whether she’ll be the new chief at Garland. Chenise would be thrilled and Nicole definitely doesn’t want the job, but if Monica turns it down, we’ll see. Ted comforts an overwhelmed Eva Thomas Richardson (Ambyr Michelle) and Samantha Richardson (Najah Jackson) is touched when Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Cat let her know how much she means to them.
Thursday, June 4th
Then on Thursday, June 4th, as Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) and Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) talk, expect some lookbacks with backstory of the whole con that she started on Bill a while back and the roots of it and just what inspired it. We also are going to see Bill feeling a bit put out by Hayley and also about Dani chewing him a new one for letting Mike get away with all that nonsense on top of Bill’s cheating and disrespecting his marriage to Dani.
So, Bill’s going to spend some time thinking about his current and past relationships that is also on their daughter’s minds as Chelsea and Naomi talk about Bill and Dani’s messy marriage. Naomi seems put out that Bill didn’t show up for Jacob’s ceremony because Hayley said no. And Bill sat there like a clown when Hayley told him and he just took it and just rolled over. Not cool. Dani’s also thinking about the past and André Richardson (Sean Freeman) is consoling Dani as she processes things.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers Friday, June 5th: Victor Newman Speaks at Fundraiser
Then on Friday, June 5th, we’ve got Vernon talking about the big fundraiser coming the following week for Martin’s reelection campaign. And Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) from Young and the Restless is going to be the keynote speaker helping to raise money for Martin. There’s also five more characters coming over from Y&R to Beyond the Gates. We’re going to talk about that in just a minute.
But we’ve also got Martin getting ready to greet the Abbott family from Genoa City. They are due in the DMV soon. And Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) from Y&R knows Martin from when they were both younger men back in New York years before he married Smitty and all that. And Kyle’s parents are also coming along. If you don’t watch Y&R, their names are Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters).
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Grayson Hopes for Forgiveness
Also, Grayson Perez (Jordie Vilasuso) is hoping Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) will forgive him for keeping secrets. I will say Grayson had an understandable motive. Grayson was desperate for money for his mom’s Parkinson’s care, but still Derek is dead, and you just can’t unring that bell. So, I’m not sure Ashley is in a headspace to forgive him just yet.
Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) and Randy make final preparations for their meeting with the Impaler, which is set to take place at the casino. Joey will have Randy at his side, and the bad guy also gets to bring one guy. So, we’re finally going to get some answers and find out the identity of the Impaler.
Week of June 8th-12th: Impaler Exposed on Beyond the Gates
And then the week of June 8th through the 12th, that’s when we should actually see the meeting of the Impaler. I feel like Friday, we’re still going to be in prep mode. And then early in the week, it happens. And then the big Young and the Restless crossover event is set for Wednesday through Friday, June 9th through 12th. We’re going to see Victor Newman taking his private jet to DC.
Then he arrives in a helicopter and he’s going to be the main speaker. Vernon Dupree personally goes to pick up his old friend and he greets Victor at the helicopter pad. They hop into a limo and Vernon’s happy to have a drink with his old friend. As they head to the event, he and Victor are clinking glasses and Vernon says he made sure they had Victor’s favorite tequila.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Victor Chats with Vernon
And then he and Victor are talking about the first time they ever shared that tequila. It was in Genoa City when Victor was hosting Vernon and Anita. And Victor mentions taking them to the Colonnade Room. That’s a famous old school thing they don’t even have anymore on Y&R. And that his wife Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) was talking to Anita about music.
Nikki is an accomplished pianist and Anita is of course an artist. Victor admires Vernon’s politics and says he was always fair and never played favorites. And Victor says he admires the same thing about Martin. And then Vernon’s talking about building a legacy he’s proud of. He and Victor both are toasting to their legacies.


Beyond the Gates/Young and the Restless Crossover
What’s interesting is three of the other crossover characters are people that Victor absolutely despises. Kyle was invited because he’s friends with Martin. Victor hates him and he particularly hates Kyle’s parents, Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins Abbott, who are also on the guest list and I’m sure they’re ready to donate. The other two crossover people are Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) and his wife Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway).
And if you recall, Devon has actually been on Beyond the Gates before talking to Anita about recording new material. And this time, Devon’s hoping to talk about a brand new proposition with Anita. We’ll see Jack and Diane chatting up André and Dani at the fundraiser. Martin is hanging with Victor after his speech in front of the cheering crowd. And there’s talk about the room being full of reporters itching for a scandal. And almost all of the Beyond the Gates cast is on hand at the fundraiser.
Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) runs into Joey at the fundraiser and he of course is not happy to see her as she is calling him partner. And Leslie also runs into Ted and she promises that she won’t be naughty. I don’t believe Leslie. Not for one minute. Martin is venting wondering how the hell did he get in here as he stands with his campaign manager Shonda (Dawntavia Marrero).
BTG Spoilers: Joey Ruffles Feathers
And I wonder if Martin is venting about Joey being in attendance because he hates the guy and doesn’t want him around. Doesn’t want him donating to his campaign or anything. I’m sure that Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) has brought Joey as her plus one.
We’re also going to have Kyle from Genoa City spending time flirting with Hayley and they may be sneaking a kiss after she says Kyle literally saved her life because there is a natural disaster. A tornado hits the building. Windows blow in and a chandelier falls. People are screaming and running and hiding. And Bill just happens to be with Dani in the elevator and they get a jolt and she stumbles into his arm. So, we’ll see if all of Bill and Dani’s recent reminiscing leads them to cross lines and maybe betray their spouses.

Babylon 5 Turned The Most Controversial Topic In Human History Into An Emmy Winning Story
By Jonathan Klotz
| Updated

In the history of the world, nothing has united people or divided people, like religion. It can bring peace and meaning to one person’s life while destroying another’s. To say that discussing religion in public is controversial, is if anything, an understatement. Babylon 5 ran headlong into the topic early on, using “Parliament of Dreams,” the fifth episode of Season 1, to show the good, the bad, and the importance of religion, culminating in a final shot that serves as creator’s J. Michael Straczynski’s mission statement for the entire series.
Everything that Makes Babylon 5 Great: Religion, Murder, And Love

Babylon 5 is the center of trade, commerce, and diplomacy for hundreds of species, which means when the Earth Alliance dedicates a week to celebrating religions, there’s hundreds of different celebrations on board. Each civilization showcases their dominant religion, resulting in the Minbari’s religious caste hosting prayer sessions, the Centauri throwing a party, and other, less-represented species get quick moments showing what’s important.

The main plot of the episode has nothing to do with the religious celebration. Narn Ambassador G’Kar is trying to survive an assassination attempt he knows is coming from a political rival out for revenge from beyond the grave. Paranoid, G’Kar assumes it’s his new aide, Na’Toth, overlooking that it’s in fact, the courier his rival sent with the death message. We get an early glimpse into the character G’Kar would become when he and Na’Toth stop the assassin, and let’s them get away. After all, the punishment for failure from the assassin guild is death, so why bother getting his hands dirty?
As usual, there’s another side plot focusing on giving fans a deeper understanding of one of the characters, in this case, Commander Sinclair (Michael O’Hare) dealing with the reappearance of his on-again, off-again lover and one-time flight student, Catherine Sakai. Now working as a planetary surveyor, Catherine ended up becoming rich thanks to her latest discovery, choosing to celebrate alongside Sinclair. Decidedly “on-again” for now, Catherine promises she’ll come back, and unlike Londo’s love, rest assured, she comes back.
An Emmy Winning Episode

Babylon 5 pivots back to the religious festival for the closing moments of “Parliament of Dreams” in a major way. Finally, Sinclair is going to show the alien diplomats Earth’s dominant religious culture. He leads them to a long, long line of humans, each representing a different religion found on Earth, starting with an atheist. It’s a brilliant moment that plays out right into the credits to showcase how many religions are to be found on Earth and that Sinclair intends on respecting every single one of them.

“Parliament of Dreams” was honored at the 1994 Emmys for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Makeup for a Series thanks to all of the alien prosthetics used throughout the episode. The regular alien cast, including Ga’Kar, Londo, Koth, and Deleen, established the look for their respective species but the talented team behind the scenes used this episode to start working out their stock alien background designs. Babylon 5 felt like a real space station populated with hundreds of different species thanks to the team’s dedication in creating unique, memorable looks, even if you only see them in the background of a few shots.
By the end of the series, there’s no doubt that Babylon 5 was ultimately a show about religion. The ultimate fates of multiple characters, including Sinclair and Neroon, is tied directly into their religious journey. “Parliament of Fates” is an early, beautiful indication to the importance of religion, and why humanity is unique in the universe.
