Married at First Sight alum Ryan Ranellone is speaking out about the shocking death of his former season 2 castmate and friend Ryan de Nino.

“We stayed in contact the first couple of years after the show, but after some of the fallout with the TV show, unfortunately not a lot of people heard from him,” Ranellone, 39, exclusively told Us. “I just think he had kind of a rough go, the way things were portrayed and so forth.”

De Nino and ex-wife Jessica Castro met for the first time on their televised wedding day, which aired in 2015. The pair, however, split weeks later and Jessica, 42, filed a restraining order against de Nino. She claimed at the time that he allegedly threatened her and her family.

When the exes came together at the season 2 reunion, Jessica tossed de Nino a $100 bill because he “needed the money” more than she did. He took the cash and left the set without addressing the allegations.

Hollywood mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2026. In June, legendary music executive Clive Davis also died at age 94 following a hospitalization for an upper respiratory infection. The following month, G.R.L. member Lauren Bennett died at age 37, while Bonnie Tyler died at 75. Emergency!‘s Randolph Mantooth and Police […]

On a hot mic at the time, de Nino said, “She’s f***ing dead. When I get back to Brooklyn, she’s f***ing dead, this girl.” MAFS producers provided Jessica with a security team after de Nino’s alleged threat.

“After the show aired they had a reunion show, and he had gotten into an argument on TV with his — at that time, soon to be ex-wife. I guess he said something backstage, like he was gonna hurt [her]. He was pissed. He was really pissed off about whatever she said,” Ranellone told Us.

He continued, “I guess someone on the show heard [his comments], and then they had to report it to her and her family that he kind of made mention of some sort of violence. And then she put a restraining order against him.”

A source exclusively told Us that de Nino faced “a lot of negativity” after the show, which was “really a shame.”

“He was angry, and kind of got a bad rap,” the insider said. “It wasn’t a positive experience for him. I don’t think he could get away from it.”

The source shared that de Nino had “often said” before appearing on MAFS that he was set to be a cast member on Jersey Shore, but “got cold feet and decided not to do it.”

“And then he ended up on MAFS,” the insider recalled. “I think he struggled to find direction, especially after the show aired. He had a really hard time with all the comments online about him after the reunion. He was getting a ton of comments online, on social media, on Reddit. People talking about him and his family. He got paid $1,200 an episode for all that. It’s not even worth it in the end. All the negativity was very challenging.”

Years after season 2 aired, de Nino’s sister Melissa shared that he died. A cause of death was not disclosed in the Facebook announcement on August 11. After learning of de Nino’s death, Ranellone reached out to the family.

Married at First Sight alum Jessica Castro is opening up about her decision to remain relatively quiet in the wake of her ex-husband Ryan de Nino’s sudden death at 40.

“Ryan was a good guy. He had a lot of good characteristics. He had a very strong, loyal friend base. People that would do a lot for him,” Ranellone said.

Ranellone, for his part, found love about a year after appearing on the show.

“I bought a home in East Northport [New York]. We’ve been together for 10 years. My business is great. Family’s good. You know, there’s no regrets in my life,” he said. “The show was a blessing for me in so many ways. I do not regret it whatsoever. And I’m happy for the people that do try to go forward with it. It’s just for those people that have a hard time with the public being up your ass. Either you lean into it or you run away from it. But thank God, thank God, everything is great on our end and we just keep moving forward.”

Ever since it was first teased back in 2021, folks have wondered if Taylor Sheridan‘s Texas-based Yellowstone spin-off would ever happen. Deemed 6666 — as in, the historic Four Sixes Ranch — the proposed spin-off would have grown out of Jimmy Hurdstrom’s (Jefferson White) arc in Season 4. Sheridan had already bought the ranch, which made the whole thing feel like a done deal over at Paramount. Only, the Yellowstone Universe architect has revealed that the project was never going to happen.

Sorry Folks, Taylor Sheridan Says That ‘6666’ Ain’t Happening

After years of speculation as to how Sheridan might continue Jimmy’s story in this long-anticipated spin-off that could have been the modern equivalent of a show like Rawhide, the Yellowstone creator has officially closed the book on the project. Paramount had only offered a few select updates over the years, such as that 6666 had moved development from Paramount+ to the Paramount Network, but nothing concrete had ever been disclosed. Even Jefferson White didn’t know what was happening (or, in this case, not happening) behind the scenes. However, on a recent episode of the Rodeo Time podcast, Sheridan made it clear that 6666 was never a priority at all. When speaking about the idea of 6666, here is what Sheridan had to say:

“There’s never going to be one. I would never fictionalize that ranch. I would never do that because, at some point, what you have to do to sustain it… I’ve actually got on my computer all the scenes of Jimmy at the Four Sixes pulled out, right, and strung together — and it makes its own perfect little movie. Where you watch him go there as this misfit and leave, you know, a man and a respected cowboy.

For Sheridan, 6666 would almost be disrespectful to those who actually live and breathe the brand itself. “To me, if I were to try and make some kind of show about the Four Sixes, now I’m making up lives,” he added. “Now I have to invent a drama, right?” Because the Four Sixes is a working ranch, actual cowboys from Texas appeared as themselves on Yellowstone during its fourth and fifth seasons when the Dutton cowboys headed south. To tell a story about the historical ranch without including them would be impossible, meaning that Sheridan would have to invent new ones to fill the gap — and Jimmy and his wife Emily (Kathryn Kelly) wouldn’t have been enough.

Unlike Yellowstone, which was set on a fictional ranch in a fictional version of the real Paradise Valley, 6666 would require too much real-world connection to work. More than that, it would likely end up disrupting the flow of the actual historical Four Sixes ranch itself. The Chief Joseph Ranch in Darby, Montana — the actual location of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch — was probably challenging enough to film at, considering that it too is an active cattle brand, but for the Texas operation, cowboying is everything. On one hand, it’s a shame that we’ll never see 6666 come to fruition, but on the other, we can understand Sheridan’s desire not to commercialize the livelihood of those who have made it what it is. “I’m very protective of the Sixes,” the cowboy-turned-filmmaker added. “And it’s a big responsibility to be the person who has to protect that brand.”

Sheridan’s Reasoning Makes Sense — but We’d Love a ‘6666’ Movie

Despite his thoughts on 6666 as a long-form television spin-off, Sheridan’s comments about Jimmy’s arc on Yellowstone are curious. Perhaps it would be fun to see his arc down south at the Four Sixes turned into a feature film, if not just to highlight what was arguably the best character arc in the show’s later seasons. Sure, it’s unlikely, but given how Paramount continues to boost the Dutton brand post-Kevin Costner, nothing is impossible. If Sheridan already has the Four Sixes arc all cut out and ready for a feature re-edit, let’s have at it!

As far as the Yellowstone Universe’s future in the great state of Texas, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) have already migrated down south to the fictional Rio Paloma on Dutton Ranch. Although Sheridan isn’t as involved in this sequel series as he was in previous Dutton dramas, it seems like his narrative focus has shifted back to the Lone Star State in recent years. Aside from the Yellowstone brand, his shows Landman and Lioness have likewise found themselves settled in Texas (the latter spent time on the border during the second season), and Tulsa King took place just north in Oklahoma. If anyone knows Texas, it’s Taylor Sheridan.

Yellowstone is available for streaming on Peacock.

The LEGO Group is heading back to Tim Burton’s Gotham City with a massive new Batmobile set inspired by Michael Keaton’s Dark Knight.

LEGO has officially unveiled the LEGO DC Batman: Batman Returns Batmobile, a 2,269-piece collector set recreating the iconic vehicle from the 1992 film Batman Returns. It marks the first time the movie’s specific version of the Batmobile has been recreated as a full LEGO brick model.

Designed for adult collectors, the new Batmobile measures more than 17 inches long, 6.5 inches wide and four inches tall. The build recreates the vehicle’s elongated body, rear jet turbine, opening canopy and detailed cockpit. LEGO has also hidden six Easter eggs throughout the model, including The Penguin’s tracking device.

The biggest feature, however, comes directly from one of Batman Returns’ most memorable Batmobile sequences.

At the press of a button, the sides of the LEGO Batmobile separate using a newly designed lift-arm mechanism to reveal the Batmissile hidden inside. The transformation recreates Batman’s escape vehicle from the movie and allows collectors to display the finished model in either its standard Batmobile configuration or its slimmer Batmissile form.

LEGO developed three new elements specifically for the set, including a new Batman minifigure cowl. The set also comes with an exclusive Michael Keaton-inspired Batman minifigure featuring a newly molded cape and its own display stand bearing the Batman Returns logo.

The LEGO DC Batman: Batman Returns Batmobile, set #76355, will be available to LEGO Insiders beginning September 1, 2026, before receiving its full release on September 4, 2026. The set will retail for $229.99 in the United States.

More than three decades after Batman Returns hit theaters, Keaton’s Batmobile remains one of the most recognizable vehicles in superhero movie history, and LEGO’s newest release gives fans one of its most detailed brick-built versions yet.

MobLand faced a major threat a few months ago when reports surfaced of a behind-the-scenes squabble between leading star Tom Hardy and executive producer Jez Butterworth. In the aftermath, Hardy was reportedly booted from the series before being officially called back following heavy fan backlash. That development led many to believe a third chapter was practically a certainty. Unfortunately, new reports about MobLand‘s future suggest otherwise.

After Season 2’s tumultuous production finally ended, reports emerged that Paramount had enough faith in the series to give the go-ahead for Season 3’s development. This was, however, before news of the set friction came to light. Given how Season 1 overcame its share of criticism to become one of Paramount+’s biggest shows, speculation was rife that a Season 3 renewal could come even before the second season premiered. Alas, that hasn’t happened, and the status of the series beyond Season 2 remains undecided.

A recent Deadline interview with Paramount+’s Head of Originals, Jane Wiseman, now reveals that the streamer has yet to officially renew the series. Asked about the status of Season 3, Wiseman initially sidestepped the question by turning her attention to the upcoming season instead, saying, “Season 2 is unbelievable; it is so explosive. We just released the trailer. It’s firing on all cylinders. I’m really excited about this season.” When pressed for a more definitive answer on Season 3, however, Wiseman responded with a more certain, “We haven’t made a decision on Season 3 yet.”

‘Mobland’ Is Working Hard to Earn a Season 3 Renewal

Wiseman’s response doesn’t exactly reflect the kind of faith in the series that was previously reported. Given how Mobland has continued to chart even during its off-season, a continuation might seem like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, Paramount appears to be playing it safe for now. Season 2 premieres in a few weeks on September 18, bringing back the show’s key players as the Harrigans’ turf war with their bitter rivals intensifies. With the Season 2 finale unlikely to wrap up the story in a conclusive manner, hopefully, Mobland doesn’t become another series that leaves viewers stranded on a cliffhanger. Paramount may be waiting to see whether the controversy surrounding Hardy has any noticeable impact on viewership before making its decision on Season 3.

The studio is also doing its part to expand the show’s audience ahead of Season 2, recently announcing that Season 1 will become available to stream for free starting August 18 through Paramount+’s Free Content Hub. The rollout will expand further on August 31, when all episodes become available for free on additional platforms, including Pluto TV, Paramount+ channels on Amazon, Apple, and Roku, as well as Paramount+’s official YouTube channel. If those efforts translate into strong numbers for the new season, Paramount may have a much easier decision to make about the show’s future. For now, all eyes are on Season 2.

Stay tuned at Collider for further updates.

Farrah Abraham is finally revealing how much she says she was paid for starring on MTV’s hit shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom.

“It was only $3,500 from that first one,” the MTV personality, 35, claimed during the Tuesday, August 18, episode of the “We Need To Talk” podcast. “And then I think I only got $25,000 from Teen Mom.”

Farrah appeared in 2009’s inaugural season of 16 and Pregnant while she was pregnant with her and Derek Underwood’s daughter, Sophia. She later joined the cast of Teen Mom, a spinoff series that followed several of the original 16 and Pregnant stars as they navigated new motherhood in their teens and post-high school life.

While filming Teen Mom, Farrah claimed that she learned from costars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra that they were allegedly earning a higher wage.

UPDATE: 1/15/26 at 5:50 p.m. EST — Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham is setting the record straight on her political ambitions. “I’m running for Austin City Council District 5 because our city has lost balance — we’ve gone soft on crime, driven up prices and left working families like mine struggling to keep up. Enough is […]

“Then I had Catelynn and Tyler call me … this is when I was so depressed I was like, ‘I need a boob job to make me feel better.’ So we’re doing this scene on Teen Mom that’s like, ‘Oh I think I want to have a boob job.’ They ask [about salaries],” she alleged. “They say they’re making $10,000 an episode and again I’m only making $25,000 in total.”

Farrah confessed that she was “so upset” after learning about the alleged pay discrepancy. At the time, Farrah was a single mom while Catelynn and Tyler did not have any on-hand parenting responsibilities. (Derek died in a car crash in December 2008, while Catelynn and Tyler chose to give their baby, Carly, up for adoption.)

“And I’m like, ‘OK for one, they don’t have their kid. I do. I’m doing this on my f***ing own.’ Against all odds literally. Who’s really supporting me? No one,” she said. “Then I make up [a story] and I say, ‘Oh yeah I’m actually making $15,000 an episode’ because I was so hurt.”

Farrah admitted she made up the story out of “spite.”

“Nothing was fair and I don’t know if it would ever be fair,” she reflected.

Farrah was a main cast member on Teen Mom’s first four seasons. She continued to appear on the series when it was rebranded to Teen Mom OG for season 5 and until she was fired from the reality show in 2017 after seven seasons.

“Every time that I’m sitting with fans and supporting the show and I’m watching season 4, season 5, season whatever, because I’m stuck under this contract,” she claimed. “That’s really how I lost so much money. I just couldn’t stand sitting there anymore sacrificing my child’s life.”

Ahead of her firing, Farrah claimed that she asked for her daughter to be “paid more.”

“They’re not paying her dad. They’re not paying anyone else. My parents were filming less … if you’re filming less you’re getting paid less,” she alleged. “And Sophia is always here, she’s always filming, you guys need to pay her more.”

Farrah claimed her request was “refused” because “all the kids need to be paid the same.” Meanwhile, Farrah believed it was unfair to her since she was “not in the same situation” as her costars. So Farrah took matters into her own hands and sought out opportunities to make more money.

Farrah Abraham is letting her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia Abraham, take center stage and express herself sartorially — and she’s proudly cheering her on every step of the way. The Teen Mom alum, 34, responded to a fan’s praise on Instagram after Sophia debuted a bold new look at the 2025 Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea Awards […]

“I do open up Sophia’s own children boutique store for her to earn more money. I open up my furniture store, I open up a frozen yogurt store. I do three other TV shows that are around the world,” she shared. “I signed two contracts, I think for $50,000 a piece for me just to show up on a live cam company website for an hour to talk to fans.”

Farrah clarified that the webcam opportunity was a venture with “an adult company,” but she insisted that the brand “wanted celebrities to be there to make it more mainstream.”

“So I just said yes, I needed the money, I’m a single parent,” she said. “And to this day, no one can get in the way of me earning money because I need that as a single woman, as a widower. So I’m gonna do work.”

Dakota Johnson and Role Model have reportedly called it quits after seven months of dating.

The Materialists actress, 36, and the “Sally” singer, 29, ended their relationship “a while ago,” People reported on Wednesday, August 19.

TMZ also confirmed the pair’s split.

Us has reached out to reps for Johnson and Role Model (real name Tucker Pillsbury) for comment.

Johnson and Role Model first sparked dating rumors in December 2025, when the two were spotted on a cozy dinner date in Los Angeles. The Madame Web star and “Look at That Woman” singer reunited the following month for a night out in Beverly Hills.

While neither Johnson nor Role Model have publicly addressed their now-former romance, the pair strongly hinted at their connection when the former’s voice made a cameo on the latter’s song “Love I You” in July.

Dakota Johnson and Role Model were spotted together once again. Johnson, 36, and Role Model, 28, were photographed holding hands in Los Angeles on Thursday, January 23, according to pics obtained by TMZ. While the Materialists star sported an oversize black coat over a matching ensemble, Role Model opted for a camel-colored coat over a […]

“Hey, I think you’re perfect,” Role Model sings before Johnson’s voice teases, “You say that to everyone,” as seen in social media footage from the musician’s secret concert at Thalia Hall in Chicago.

“Is it working?” Role Model then asked, to which Johnson quipped, “Yeah, but don’t tell anyone.”

The two went back and forth throughout the track, which concluded with the 50 Shades of Grey actress calling the singer “Mr. Big Night.”

Role Model was asked about the cameo during an appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 radio show earlier this month.

“Who the f*** is on [‘Love I You?’]? Is that D? Can we not f***ing pretend it’s so obviously her?” Lowe, 52, asked Role Model. “She’s not masking her voice and she’s got a really recognizable voice. Sorry, ‘D.’”

“I wrote those verses on a guitar over some boring chords, brought it to them, and was like, ‘We need something that swings like this,’” he recalled. “And when we got to the end, I was like, ‘This feels like a drunk. I want it to feel drunk a little bit. I want the song to feel drunk.’ And so we were like, ‘We need a Bachelorette party of women in here to do the backing vocals.’”

Role Model continued, “We weren’t in Nashville, unfortunately, but we called ten of our female friends, a few of which were singers. They all came in and we just had a party, and we just loosely sang the [chorus]. Man, it’s not a good story. F*** it.”

Johnson’s romance with Role Model came after her June 2025 split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after nearly eight years together. Meanwhile, Role Model previously dated social media star Emma Chamberlain from 2020 to 2023.

In 2015, the same year Marvel handed Tom Holland the Spider-Man suit, he was doing some of the best television work of his career, though you probably didn’t see it. Decked out in a flat cap and fur collar, in rooms usually lit by just one candle, he plays Gregory Cromwell in BBC’s Wolf Hall. Gregory is the son of Henry VIII’s chief fixer, Oliver Cromwell (Mark Rylance), and his job for six episodes is mostly to watch his father ruin people’s lives while trying to look like he’s keeping up with all the cutthroat political scheming surrounding him. He isn’t, but that’s kind of the point. Holland spends the whole miniseries a half-step behind the adults in the room, and the result is the least Tom Holland performance Tom Holland has probably ever given.

Ten years later, Wolf Hall is still near the top of his Rotten Tomatoes page, hanging on above a stack of Spider-Man sequels and the Uncharted movie no one talks about. It’s easy to forget he’s in it at all. (Marvel casting has a way of erasing everything an actor did before it.) But now that we’ve all seen him hold his own as Telemachus in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, this piece of obscure TV trivia looks more like a receipt.

‘Wolf Hall’ Turns Henry VIII’s Court Into Must-Watch TV for Period Drama Fans

To understand why Holland’s performance works, you have to look at the show he’s disappearing into. Peter Kosminsky directed the six-part miniseries from Peter Straughan‘s adaptation of Hilary Mantel‘s Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. Rylance’s Thomas Cromwell mostly listens. He watches the room and remembers what people say so he can use it against them later. A blacksmith’s son from Putney who ended up as Henry VIII’s chief fixer, Rylance plays the man Henry used to annul his first marriage, break from Rome, and dissolve the monasteries, as someone with a monumental chip on his shoulder.

Damian Lewis, meanwhile, plays the mercurial king. His Henry VIII is charming one minute and dangerous the next, and half the fun of the show is watching Cromwell figure out which one he’s got in front of him. It’s about how power moves in a court where being loud and obvious usually gets you killed. That’s a hard show to act in. It’s a much harder show to act in when you’re only 18-years-old. Which is what makes Holland’s presence there so strange, and so good.

‘Wolf Hall’ Is Still One of Tom Holland’s Best Roles, and One of BBC’s Best Dramas

Gregory Cromwell has no big scenes to hit. He’s the boy who got sent away to school, comes home, and realizes the people who used to underestimate his dad are now afraid of him. Holland plays him as always alert and just a bit bewildered; a kid slowly realizing what his father has become, and struggling to make sense of it. The restraint is what stands out the most. Almost every part Holland has taken since has asked him to sell a feeling, and sell it loudly. Think of the tearful third acts of the Spider-Man movies, the shell shock in Cherry, the earnest boyishness of every talk-show couch he’s ever sat on. Wolf Hall asked him for something else. It handed him all of three seconds of screen time and expected him to hold his own against veteran actors without the help of a mask and CGI magic. He does. Easily.

Rewatching Wolf Hall now, after a decade of Holland being asked to be charming and cheeky, is a nice little shock. The show itself is one of the best British costume dramas of the 2010s: a beautifully made chronicle of how a nobody became the second most powerful man in England. It was also a precursor to what Holland could do before he strapped on a pair of spandex, a tease of what might come after Spider-Man, and a fascinating kind of TV time capsule.

It’s difficult to imagine Ted Mosby living a life away from his dear friends Barney, Robin, Lily and Marshall, but the How I Met Your Mother cast aren’t like their TV characters — especially more than 10 years after the show wrapped.

Josh Radnor, who played Ted on the beloved CBS series, got real about his friendships with his former castmates on the Sunday, August 16, episode of the “Half the Picture” podcast.

When asked whether he and costars Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders, are “as close as you were,” he admitted, “No. Not even a little bit.”

Radnor, 52, noted, “I don’t mean that in any dramatic way.”

How I Met Your Mother was a pop culture phenomenon during its nine-season run and in the years that followed. How I Met Your Mother told leading man Ted Mosby’s (Josh Radnor) love story in reverse — ultimately leading up to the moment where he meets the mother of his children. Radnor starred alongside Alyson […]

He explained that he’s had Harris, who played Barney Stinson on the sitcom, on his “How We Made Your Mother” podcast where they “had a really interesting conversation about some of the tension we had on set that was fascinating and kinda healing.”

When it comes to Radnor’s relationship with Segel, who played Marshall Eriksen, he said they “send each other texts every once in a while when something that reminds of something funny on set.”

“But I haven’t seen him in a really long time,” Radnor shared.

Smulders, who portrayed Robin Scherbatsky, has also appeared on Radnor’s podcast twice, so he explained, “I’ve seen her mostly on Zoom.”

Radnor revealed that Hannigan, who played Lily Aldrin, was at his wedding to Jordana Jacobs in 2024, “But I haven’t seen her, I don’t think, since.”

How I Met Your Mother premiered in 2005 and followed Ted’s shameless quest for love alongside his four best friends in the years leading up to the day he met his future wife for the first time. Ted narrated the show, telling his kids about the road to meeting their mother, which culminated in nine seasons before the show’s 2014 finale.

While the five main characters were thick as thieves on camera, Radnor explained on the podcast that like many types of relationships the cast’s dynamic shifted once the cameras stopped rolling.

“I have love for all these people,” Randor said on Sunday.

He compared his friendships with the other actors to college, “where you have this very intense time together and you can’t imagine not seeing each other every day because you’ve seen each other every day for so long. Then it just disperses and you just go out and live your life.”

Randor noted that Harris is the only other person who lives in New York, while the other stars are usually in California.

Although Randor said he’s “just living my life,” he understands why fans would be disappointed that the cast isn’t as close as they once were.

“I think that there’s a yearning, especially when a show’s so centered around friendship, people really want to believe that like me and Neil and Jason are hitting bars in New York City together,” he continued.

Radnor, however, called the cast dynamic more akin to family than friends “in that you don’t get to choose your family.”

He pointed out, “We were cast. We didn’t choose each other.”

Radnor added, “And family dynamics come out to play when you are in an environment like that for so long. But you also have love that is quite deep and rich and probably everlasting.”

While Randor and the other HIMYM stars have gone their separate ways, he said the show still holds a special place in his heart — even after having to distance himself from Ted for a few years.

“I had this hostility toward people who wouldn’t let me out of what felt like an identity prison,” Radnor confessed on the podcast. “Now I just have enough time away from it, now it feels like a big part of my autobiography but not the whole thing.”

Alix Earle relives one of the highlights of bringing her upcoming reality TV show to life!

The media personality detailed some of the most significant moments she experienced behind the scenes of “Earle Meets World” and one scene they had difficulty filming.

Alix Earle rose to fame on TikTok through candid “Get Ready With Me” videos before she finally catapulted into other ventures like podcasting, business ventures, and television.

The podcaster, during an interview promoting a recent business partnership, revealed that she carried immense pride in the way her family handled everything life threw at them on the show. From moments of heightened emotions to physical tussles, Earle said that they actually made them closer as a family unit.

However, one scene with her sister Ashtin Earle and mother Alisa Earle was “definitely a hard moment to film” because of how emotional and exposed she felt at the time. Despite the discomfort, the media personality admitted that she is glad to see that such a vulnerable moment made the cut. In her words:

“But those are sort of things where even if I go back and watch the show, I forget that all this happened or I was feeling these things, and I feel so bad for myself watching it sometimes. I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I just want to give her a hug.’ I’m snotting all over the place.”

Earle revealed to US Weekly that revisiting painful experiences is not always easy, but she believes showing those raw moments is an important part of connecting with viewers. The show will premiere on Netflix on September 4, 2026.

The 25-Year-Old Adds Dunkin’ Partnership To Her Growing Reality TV And Influencer Portfolio

Earle continued during the interview that producers often encouraged relatives to address uncomfortable topics instead of brushing them aside with the sole aim of bringing them closer.

She also admitted there were tense moments on the show, but said the experience did not create the division she initially feared from doing a reality show.

When the budding reality TV star is not unpacking everything in front of the camera alongside the rest of her family, she is getting into her bag with another business adventure. Earle discussed her Earle-Y Riser Meal partnership with the news outlet, revealing that her younger siblings partly inspired it.

She explained that she added three MUNCHKINS Donut Hole Treats as a playful nod to the three younger children her father, Thomas Earle, shares with Ashley Dupré.

The collaboration comes during an especially busy period for Earle, as she is currently appearing on “Dancing With the Stars” and continuing the “Get Ready With Me” videos that helped propel her to social media fame.

Alix Earle Joined Hailey Bieber And Kendall Jenner As Cymbiotika Investor

Global Cosmetic News shared that the media personality recently joined a group of celebrity investors like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner to invest in the wellness brand. This power move pushed her beyond a traditional paid partnership to become a shareholder and a brand partner.

The deal gave Cymbiotika premium access to Earle’s audience of roughly 14 million followers, while also giving the creator a financial stake in the company’s future growth. Their partnership could eventually expand into a co-branded product, potentially giving Earle an even bigger role in shaping what she promotes to consumers.

Her investment comes as Cymbiotika continues to scale the supplement business, which started in 2019, and in January 2026 it secured $25 million in outside investment while continuing to be profitable and grow by triple digits. Its products have also penetrated the mainstream beauty retail market with a rollout into over 1,000 Ulta Beauty locations.

The University Of Miami Alum Admitted Online Pressure Left Her Second-Guessing Her Looks

As noted by The Blast in July, Earle got candid about taking a social media break while she battled a difficult period of anxiety and emotional exhaustion due to the constant attacks on her content. She added that these statements have left her doubting her looks and some of the relationships in her life.

While she has gotten used to life under a microscope as a celebrity, she confessed to constantly overanalyzing all her steps and appearance till she eventually realized she was slipping into an unhealthy space.

Earle recalled that this thought gradually started slipping into her consciousness as she would suddenly break down in tears while getting ready and later experience a panic attack during a flight. She found it difficult to even upload ordinary content as they often attracted criticism from people and got overblown.

She dealt with this moment of her life by taking time away to reconnect with her friends and spend time in Miami. While she still enjoys creating content and sharing her life, she understands that maintaining an online presence is not worth sacrificing her self-esteem or emotional well-being.
