With a new version of The X-Files in the works, Ryan Coogler is working on reviving another beloved property of the 1990s. The recent Oscar-winner is tackling a series of YA science fiction novels that ruled the bookstores of America (and traumatized its preteens) long before The Hunger Games was a twinkle in Suzanne Collins‘ eye.

According to reports, Coogler is executive producing a new adaptation of K.A. Applegate‘s Animorphs novels for Disney+. The series will be showrun and written by Bayan Wolcott, who has previously written for American Crime Story, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and the Hulu science fiction drama Class of ’09; he is also writing for the new The Handmaid’s Tale spin-off The Testaments. The novel series ran from 1996 to 2001, and included 54 books and 10 spin-offs and specials. The books are well-remembered for their intense action and unflinching look at the realities of violence, as well as their distinctive David B. Mattingly cover art, which depicted one of the book’s characters morphing into an animal via a combination of traditional art and morphing software.

Elliot Page got vulnerable as he opened up about how he experienced debilitating “shame” and loneliness while growing up as queer.
The “Umbrella Academy” actor, who worked on a new documentary focusing on same-sex relationships among animals, said he hopes it challenges what people have long believed to be “natural.”
Last year, Elliot Page appeared to debut his relationship with actress Julia Shiplett, but it remains unclear what the state of their romance is.

Page got candid about the struggles he endured in his formative years, saying he had to endure shame and loneliness growing up queer.
Speaking with People Magazine to promote the new documentary “Second Nature,” the “Juno” actor expressed how he couldn’t find a place in the world for himself at the time, while also making a case for why queer representation is important.
Page narrated and produced the documentary, which aims to bring to attention the increasingly prevailing reality of same-sex marriage and gender fluidity in the animal kingdom, something that isn’t often talked about.
On why he felt the need to be a part of the project, Page said, “To really have this real, thorough investigatory piece about the reality of this information, the reality of what has been left out and what we’ve not been taught.”
“And I think that sense of growing up as a queer kid and feeling alone — ’cause you feel like you are alone, even, of course, in retrospect, you’re not — you weren’t. You feel excluded, you feel like something’s wrong with you,” he continued.

The Actor Expressed How ‘Censorship’ Makes Being Queer Difficult

Page has become a leading voice for transgender rights and LGBTQ+ visibility since coming out as a transgender man in 2020.
In his chat with the publication, the actor pointed out that while dealing with shame, it’s difficult to speak openly about being queer because of “censorship” and “erasure.”
“You’re carrying these bricks of shame, and there are such implications and consequences in terms of censorship and erasure … and this idea that nature is organized around a cis heteronormative system is just completely false,” Page said.

He then said that people will be able to learn a thing or two from the documentary.
“First of all, it’s just beautifully made. It’s entertaining. It’s funny. It’s gonna captivate you, and it’s just such incredibly valuable information. No matter who you are, no matter how you identify,” he told the news outlet.
“And I think it’s [full of] interesting facts that you can’t believe you didn’t know before, but it’s also the ripple effect of conversation that comes from watching this,” he continued.

“What are the impacts of censorship, and what are the impacts of censorship on art and science and all facets of our society?” Page added.
The Actor Hopes To Help The Trans Cause
MEGA
Page has previously spoken about how he hopes coming out and sharing his own journey will help bring more visibility to the trans community and push their cause.
“When I’m walking down the street, and young people come up to me, it means the world to me,” he told People Magazine in 2023. “Them being themselves, having the courage to say, ‘This is who I am, and I’m gonna live authentically.’”
At the time, he also said that he had experienced so much peace and tranquility since he came out.
“It definitely feels a way that I never thought I would get to feel, and that mostly manifests in how present I feel, the ease I feel, and the ability to exist,” he said.

The Direct Of The Documentary Speaks On ‘Learning About Queerness In Nature’
Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA
The Drew Denny-directed film profiles scientists who have researched more than 1,500 animal species that engage in same sex sexual behavior and parenting, while also calling attention to how this phenomenon is widely underreported in contemporary science and research.
Denny, who also grew up queer, noted that she first got wind of the idea while reading ecologist and evolutionary biologist Joan Roughgarden’s 2004 book “Evolution’s Rainbow” several years ago.
“Learning about queerness in nature, and learning about matriarchal lesbian bonobos, and sex-changing fish, and gender-queer chimps, it’s what did it for me,” Denny said, per People. “It’s what flipped the switch finally to being like, ‘Oh, like, there isn’t anything wrong with me.’”
“I didn’t know how badly I needed that until I read that book and finally felt like, ‘Oh, I get to be here. Like I belong on Earth, no one can kick me out because of this,’” she added.
Mahomes, 30, attended the annual Stagecoach music festival on Friday, April 24, making a serious style statement in a white, cap-sleeved corset and barely-there ruffled, lace shorts. She completed her ‘fit with a silver pendant necklace and belt, coordinating with her ivory cowboy boots.
For glam, Mahomes styled her signature blonde tresses in loose waves that she topped with a black cowboy hat.
Mahomes went to the concert with a group of pals, including Miranda Hogue and Mallory McDaniel, and they had prime seats for Ella Langley’s Friday performance.

Brittany usually makes a statement wherever she goes, including to husband Patrick Mahomes’ NFL games. Patrick, 30, is the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, where Brittany and the pair’s three children often cheer on his game with flair.

Brittany, for her part, often rocks designer gear in Chiefs colors or custom merch emblazoned with her husband’s name and jersey number.
“I think being the significant other to an NFL player is an incredibly hard role, and we take on a lot of important stuff behind the scenes that people don’t get to see,” Brittany told Sports Illustrated in February. “We also get to enjoy life and do things that we love, too.”
Brittany and Patrick have been together since high school, eventually tying the knot in 2022.

As for Patrick, he is grateful that Brittany is such a supportive partner amid his NFL career.

“I think people don’t even realize how much she does,” the quarterback said on the “Impaulsive” podcast in 2024. “I mean, taking care of the day-to-day stuff and make it where I can focus on football and focus on my craft and everything like that. [She’s] a Hall of Fame mom and a Hall of Fame wife, [which] makes it a lot easier.”
Patrick added at the time, “I mean, when you get to come home and your best friend’s there and you can just hang out, it makes you want to be there all the time and she pushes me to be great and she’s done a lot of great things herself.”
Patrick and the Chiefs are currently in their offseason until games kick off in the fall.
Earlier this month, Tom Hardy fans received the news that his hit crime series MobLand had officially completed production on a second season. Also starring the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, this Guy Ritchie crime saga was a huge streaming hit when it debuted last year, launching as Paramount+’s biggest global hit of 2025. Its initial 2.2 million premiere viewership quickly rose to 8.8 million viewers in its first week, with the show eventually accumulating over 26 million viewers in its first season.
In a social media video released at the end of production, Hardy’s co-star Emmett J. Scanlan teased that Season 2 feels like “Season 1 on steroids,” before adding, “It was ambitious, fast-moving, but despite being fast-moving, you never felt that you were being rushed.” With plenty to be explored in the second season, one question remains on everyone’s minds: What happened to Harry? With his life in the balance, we know Hardy’s Harry is set to return, but his life is sure to be affected.
Sadly, this great news for Hardy fans is balanced by a disappointing update, as one of the actor’s more underrated movies is about to leave its streaming home. The title in question is the spy thriller meets romantic comedy, This Means War, which sees Hardy and Chris Pine warring over the affection of Reese Witherspoon. The 2012 release might have been met with poor reviews, earning just 24% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but it has since become somewhat of a cult classic for Hardy fans. Sadly, as of May 1, This Means War is leaving HBO Max.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz Which Action Hero Would Be Your Perfect Partner? Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.

🎭Ethan Hunt

01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.
Advertisement
02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.
Advertisement
03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.
Advertisement
04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.
Advertisement
05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.

06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.

07
Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.

08
What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.

09
Every partnership has a cost. Which of these can you live with? No one comes without baggage. The question is whether you can carry it together.

It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now? The last question is the most honest one.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
Advertisement
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

How Did ‘This Means War’ Perform at the Box Office?
Against a reported production budget of $65 million, This Means War performed admirably during a near-four-month theatrical run in 2012. In total, the film returned a global haul of $157 million, split between $55 million in domestic revenue and a further $102 million from overseas markets. Frustratingly, in the U.S., This Means War never rose higher than fifth in the box office ranks, falling short of the likes of Safe House,The Vow, andGhost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance in its opening weekend. A synopsis reads:
Advertisement
“The world’s two foremost covert CIA operatives are trained assassins and master spies. They’ve saved the world on countless occasions, but these partners and best friends are about to experience the one situation way beyond their formidable skills – when they realize they’re in love with the same woman. For the now-divided duo, this means war – and they’re coming at each other with an arsenal capable of bringing down a small country.”
This Means War is leaving HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more stories.
Australian comedy has always had a distinct flavor—dry, self-aware, a little bit unhinged, and completely unafraid to laugh at itself. Whether it’s skewering institutions, exposing social awkwardness, or simply leaning into the absurdity of everyday life, Aussie comedies have a way of feeling both hyper-specific and yet universally relatable. It’s emblematic of our larrikin ways. There’s a looseness to the humor—a sense that anything could happen (to which it often does).
So, while Australia has made some strides in the world of cinema—especially in recent years—it’s important to celebrate the brilliance of our comedic shows. From razor-sharp satires to chaotic character studies, this list represents the very best of what Australian television has to offer. Some became cultural landmarks, while others built their reputations more quietly, but no less deservedly. Together, they prove the strengths of the underrated giant that is the Australian comedy scene.

‘Rake’ (2010–2018)

Cleaver Green (Richard Roxburgh) is a brilliant barrister with a talent for taking on unusual cases—and an even greater talent for ruining his own life. Yet between courtroom battles, personal scandals, and a string of questionable decisions, Cleaver somehow manages to keep going, no matter how chaotic things may become.
Without a doubt, Roxburgh carries Rakeinto iconic status by delivering a performance that’s equal parts charming and infuriating. Sure, the legal cases provide structure, but it’s Cleaver’s personal life that drives the show’s energy. The writing is sharp, the humor is biting, and the tone constantly shifts between comedy and drama without ever feeling disjointed. It’s unpredictable in the best way, making it an endlessly watchable procedural.

‘Summer Heights High’ (2007)

Set in a fictional Australian high school, three wildly different characters—Ja’mie, Jonah, and Mr. G (all played by Chris Lilley)—navigate the chaos and drama of school life. Presented in a mockumentary style, the series captures both the students and teachers with equal parts affection and satire.
Yes, Lilley’s series hasn’t exactly aged well given its divisive style of humor, but Summer Heights High‘s impact on Australian comedy is undeniable. The jokes are bold, extremely quotable, sometimes uncomfortable, and yet very observational in a way that captures the awkwardness of adolescence and the absurdity of institutional culture. It doesn’t ever play it safe—but that’s exactly why it resonates. At its best, it feels like a time capsule of a very specific (and very real) school experience.

‘Deadloch’ (2023–Present)

In the quiet Tasmanian town of Deadloch, a shocking murder disrupts the community’s sense of calm, bringing together Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeline Sami)—two wildly different detectives to solve the case. But as more bodies appear, the investigation grows increasingly complex, revealing dark secrets that ripple through the entire town.
While a lot is stuffed into the plot, Deadlochdeserves its flowers for its ability to juggle tone without ever dropping the ball. Part noir crime thriller, part biting satire, the show uses its central mystery as a vehicle to explore gender dynamics, small-town politics, and cultural tensions. The humor is sharp, crass, and often unexpected, emerging from character clashes and observational details rather than punchlines alone. It’s a show that can make you laugh one moment and genuinely invest in the stakes the next—something that only becomes more prevalent in the second season.

‘Frontline’ (1994–1997)
Image via ABC TV
Taking viewers behind the scenes of a current affairs program, Frontline exposes the inner workings of television journalism—where ratings, egos, and network pressures often take precedence over truth. Anchored by the ever-ambitious Mike Moor (Rob Sitch), the show dissects how stories are shaped before they ever reach the public.
Similar to other legacy shows, decades on, Frontline feels almost eerily relevant. Its satire is precise and unrelenting, skewering media practices with a clarity that hasn’t dulled over time. The humor is intelligent rather than loud, built on character dynamics and ethical compromises that feel all too familiar. It’s the kind of show that earns its laughs through insight, making it as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

‘Utopia’ (2014–Present)

Set within the National Buildings Authority, a fictional government infrastructure agency, Utopia follows the team’s daily operations as they’re tasked with delivering large-scale projects—despite endless bureaucratic obstacles, shifting political priorities, and an overwhelming number of meetings that achieve very little.
The genius of Utopia purely lies in its accuracy. Just like other great workplace-sitcoms, every scario feels ripped straight from real life, capturing the absurdity of workplace culture with painful precision. The humor builds through repetitions and escalation, turning minor frustrations into major comedic payoffs. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be—because anyone who’s ever worked in an office will recognise exactly what it’s doing, and probably laugh a little too hard in response.

‘Class of ’07’ (2023)
When a catastrophic tidal wave wipes out most of civilization, a group of former all-girls high school classmates find themselves stranded at their 10-year reunion—now forced to survive together on the one piece of land left above water. Hoping to somehow make contact with the outside world (or at least what remains), they’re left to fend for themselves, building a new society while confronting the ghosts of who they used to be.
Of all modern Aussie shows, Class of ’07proved to be a surprising standout. Not only did it twist the tropes of the survival genre, but it brilliantly weaponized social dynamics to generate genuine comedy gold. Here, the apocalypse becomes a backdrop for petty grudges, power plays, and painfully familiar social hierarchies that never really left high school. It’s chaotic, self-aware, and often absurd—and yet, a sharp emotional undercurrent lingers beneath the madness. Think of it as a messy tale of sisterhood that’s shown through the lens of a Lord of the Flies-esque reality. How it wasn’t immediately renewed for a second season is perplexing to say the least.

‘Mr Inbetween’ (2018–2021)

Ray Shoesmith (Scott Ryan) is a professional hitman trying to balance his violent line of work with the demands of everyday life, from raising his daughter, maintaining friendships, and dealing with the general annoyances of suburban living. Unfortunately for him, it’s a precarious balance that becomes harder to maintain as his two worlds begin to collide.
While Mr Inbetween often leans into darker territory, its humor is razor-sharp and deeply effective. Indeed, the comedy comes from contrast: watching Ray switch from brutal enforcer to quietly attentive father in the span of a single episode. Ryan’s understated performance gives the show its unique tone, allowing absurdity and menace to coexist seamlessly. It’s funny in a way that sneaks up on you, often leaving you laughing before you fully realize why. A truly underrated piece of the crime genre.

‘Fisk’ (2021–Present)

After a humiliating professional and personal implosion, high-end contract lawyer Helen Tudor-Fisk (Kitty Flanagan) leaves her life in Sydney and relocates to her home in Melbourne. Seeking a fresh start, she takes a job at a small, shabby suburban wills and probate firm, where she must navigate her eccentric clients and equally odd colleagues who don’t quite operate on her wavelength.
Like all good ensemble comedies, Fisk shines in its banter and understated qualities. Flanagan’s performance is built on micro-reactions, dry line deliveries, and a complete refusal to overplay a joke. In many ways, the humor often comes from what isn’t said, lingering in uncomfortable silences and painfully polite interactions. It’s deceptively simple, but incredibly precise—turning the mundane into something quietly hilarious. The result is a show that feels effortlessly funny, even when it operates at the smallest possible scale.

‘Colin From Accountants’ (2022–Present)

After a chance encounter leads to a car accident and an injured dog, two strangers—Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall)—find themselves unexpectedly connected. What follows is a messy, often awkward exploration of modern relationships, as they attempt to navigate their growing feelings alongside their many personal flaws.
What makes Colin from Accountsso refreshing is its commitment to authenticity. The humor isn’t heightened or exaggerated. Instead, it’s rooted in awkward pauses, miscommunications, and the small, painfully real moments that define relationships. Dyer and Brammall (the show’s writer-creators and real-life husband-and-wife) bring an easy, natural chemistry that makes everything feel lived-in rather than performed. It’s romantic, yes, but never idealized, and that honesty is where the comedy truly shines.

‘Kath & Kim’ (2002–2007)
Kath (Jane Turner) smiling at the camera while Kim (Gina Riley) stares at her.Image via Seven Network.
Set in the fictional suburbs of Fountain Lakes, Kath & Kim follows the day-to-day lives of Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner) and her daughter Kim Craig (Gina Riley), along with their equally memorable circle of friends and family. From shopping trips to romantic misadventures, the show turns everyday life into iconic moments of hilarity.
To anyone who doesn’t know Australian culture, there’s a reason why this show remains the gold standard of the nation’s comedy landscape. For one, its humor is deeply rooted in character, language, and cultural specificity, creating something that feels both heightened and instantly recognizable. Turner and Riley are utter perfection, delivering performances that are endlessly quotable and consistently camp. It’s more than just a sitcom—it’s a cultural touchstone and one that continues to resonate because it understands exactly who it’s portraying and why it’s so funny. Nothing can touch it (even, and especially, the poorly made American remake).

Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center
The Pitt
You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown — one that puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away.
You need your work to be real, not romanticised — meaning over drama, honesty over aesthetics.
You find purpose inside the work itself, not in the chaos surrounding it.
You’ve made peace with the fact that this job takes from you constantly, and gives back in ways that are harder to name.
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center demands exactly that kind of person — and you would not want to be anywhere else.

County General Hospital, Chicago
ER
You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential.
You show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without needing the job to be anything other than what it is.
You care about patients as individual human beings, not as cases to solve or dramas to live through.
You believe in the system even when it fails you — and you understand that emergency medicine is about holding the line just long enough.
ER is television about endurance. You have it.

You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door.
You feel things fully and form deep attachments to the people you work with.
Your personal and professional lives are permanently, chaotically entangled — and that entanglement drives both your greatest disasters and your most remarkable saves.
You understand that extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection.
It’s messy at Grey Sloan. You would not have it any other way.

Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, NJ
House
You are drawn to the problem above everything else — the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one.
You’re not primarily motivated by the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it.
You work best when the stakes are highest and the standard answer is wrong.
Princeton-Plainsboro exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind — and everyone around that mind is there because they’re smart enough to keep up.
The only way forward here is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you do.

Sacred Heart Hospital, California
Scrubs
You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure — and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time.
You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field.
You use humour to get through terrible moments — and at Sacred Heart, that’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy.
You lean on the people around you and let them lean back. The laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable here.
Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job. You are still very much in the middle of that process — which is exactly right.
Makai Lemon was prepared to be part of the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2026 NFL Draft … until he wasn’t.
The star wide receiver went viral after the Philadelphia Eagles traded up on the draft board to snag Lemon, as he was on the phone with the Steelers.
“I was definitely shocked,” Lemon said after the Eagles snatched him away from their in-state rival. “Definitely. I couldn’t be more happy that they did. I’m super blessed.”
The Eagles traded to the No. 20 pick in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, April 23, jumping ahead of the Steelers at No. 21, and used that opportunity to take the wide receiver off the board.

The viral social media video shows Lemon and his family celebrating after receiving a phone call from Steelers general manager Omar Khan. While on the phone with the Steelers, Lemon’s agent runs up to hand him another phone and tell him that the Eagles traded up to pick him.
The moment quickly became one of the more memorable moments from the first round of the draft.

“We’ve all had a little bit of that,” Dave Hester exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, April 24. “We’ve been at this 16, 17 years, and so there’s always people [who] want to get on the internet and say rude things, but I don’t even pay attention to it.”
He continued, “I don’t understand cyberbullying because when people have something bad to say, I don’t even waste my time. If you wanna support me, that’s great. You don’t want to support me, that’s fine too. It doesn’t bother me.”
The cast of A&E’s reality series Storage Wars has come together to mourn their late costar Darrell Sheets following his death at age 67 from suicide.

An official cause of death has not been confirmed as the incident is under active investigation.
“Depression is the Devil’s way of attacking us,” Sheets wrote via Instagram in June 2018. “It knows no mercy, it takes our smiles it comes and goes, it ruins our relationships, it takes away our happiness, it leads to suicide in some cases, it destroys all thoughts of positivity, it is a 24/7 battle and allows no rest for the suffering.”
“I know Darrell would want something positive out of this,” he said in a video obtained by TMZ. “He had a guy really tormenting him lately on cyberbullying. Just cause you watch us on television doesn’t mean you know us … it doesn’t mean you know what we’re about. Also it doesn’t entitle you to bully somebody.”

Nezhoda spoke exclusively to Us about Sheet’s alleged experience online, adding he has also been the subject of online bullying.

“I know some of the stuff that Darrell told me [about this], and then also what he posted, obviously,” he told Us on Friday. “Life has its ups and downs, but when you already have a lot of pressure on your back, and then you have to deal with [cyberbullying] on top of it? Every day, we have people telling us we’re fat, we’re not good enough, we’re broke. Our wives are cheating on us, like, pretty much whatever you can imagine.”
Storage Wars is planning to honor former cast member Darrell Sheets following his death by apparent suicide at the age of 67. According to TMZ, A&E will pay tribute to Sheets during this weekend’s new episode. The network has plans to honor him with an in-memoriam card during the broadcast. Leading up to a new […]
He added, “Honestly, I didn’t take it that serious, because that’s something we all deal with every day. So when we hear that, we take it with a grain of salt. But he did tell me that this person is really doing a lot of stuff, but I just didn’t take it as serious, or was as concerned, because it’s just part of it.”

Taylor Swift has a way of making even the simplest outfits feel instantly iconic — and her mesh sneakers are proof. Styled with a blue polo top, straight-leg jeans and minimal gold jewelry, the look struck that perfect balance between relaxed and polished. It’s the kind of effortless outfit you screenshot and save for later.
Swift’s now sold-out The Row Bonnie Sneakers nail that understated, off-duty feel. However, the steep price (and current waitlist status) makes them a tough get. We went searching for a more affordable way to recreate the look and landed on the Project Cloud Leather Mesh Sneakers for just $38 on Amazon.
The Project Cloud Mesh Sneakers deliver that same airy, understated feel Swift pulled off so well, thanks to its breathable mesh detailing and neutral colorway. The design strikes that ideal mix of laid-back and refined. You can wear them with straight-leg jeans and a tee, or style them with breezy dresses and trousers for a slightly more polished look. Either way, the sneakers instantly pull an outfit together.

The breathable upper keeps your feet cool on warmer days, while memory foam insoles add that cushioned, all-day comfort you actually notice. The lightweight feel makes them ideal for travel, errands or long days on your feet, and the slip-on design means no extra effort when heading out the door.
Shoppers are just as obsessed. The sneakers have racked up more than 450 five-star ratings, with one five-star reviewer calling them a “new favorite” thanks to their “versatile” design. Another reviewer said they’re the “best casual shoes” for their “lightweight and comfortable” feel — exactly what you want from an everyday pair.
Available in multiple colors with sizes ranging from 5.5 to 11, they’re an easy addition to any spring wardrobe. If you’ve been wanting to recreate one of Swift’s most effortless outfits, get the Project Cloud Mesh Sneakers before your size sells out!

Rumors are swirling that Darby is in the middle of a fresh feud, and no, it’s not with current cast members, but rather with a new addition that has yet to be confirmed by Bravo.
W8Media / MEGA
The 11th season of “RHOP” is currently underway, and, as is the case with any “Housewives” show filming, leaks about what is happening are being shared online.
In this case, it involves “RHOP” OG Ashley Darby and rumored new cast member Courtney Ajinca. Per a post from reality TV blogger Nate Williams (@natesmediaaa on X, formerly known as Twitter), the two women recently got into an explosive fight that culminated with Ajinca calling Darby a pedophile.

“POTOMAC SEASON 11 TEA. (exclusively from close source) -Word on the street is that the fierce newbie Courtney Ajinca and Ashley Darby are feuding BAD. Things allegedly got so bad, Courtney called Ashley a p*dop*hle,” the post read.
Williams then clarified that sharing the information was not intended to enable online users to cyberbully either woman.
”Let’s be clear, I do not want to send any hate to Ashley or Courtney. I’m simply relaying the news that was brought to me by someone in Potomac.”
The Rumored New Cast Member Was Previously Revealed

Shortly after Bravo confirmed the return of “RHOP” cast members: Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, and Robyn Dixon, multiple reports named Ajinca as a new addition.
According to Reality Blurb, Ajinca is the wife of an assistant coach of the Washington Wizards basketball team, with an insider telling the outlet that she does “have an actual contract.”

“Bravo will announce what her actual role is at some point in the future,” the source added.
While Bravo has not confirmed her role on the show, all signs point to Ajinca being on the show in some capacity, as she was seen filming with the cast at a Wizards game earlier this month.
Fans have since dug into Ajinca’s social media accounts and noted her alleged support for MAGA and her commentary on her fierce religious beliefs.

While appearing on the “What’s the Reality” podcast in February 2026, Ashley Darby explained why she hooked up with the son of former “RHOP” full-time cast member Charisse Jackson-Jordan and revealed it on the show.
“It’s been just kind of sitting on me for a while. It’s been sitting on me for two years now,” Darby said of her relationship with Jordan Jackson, who is 10 years her junior.

“You know, I wanted Charrisse back on the show. I have. I almost told her umteen times, and I was gonna take it to my grave,” she added of her desire to want Jackson-Jordan back in a full-time role.
“I was like, ‘Hey girl, this could be your chance. Get you back on the show. In the scene, I thought she was gonna like throw champagne in my face, flip the table, do a whole thing, nothing of the sort,” she said.
The Reality Star Confirmed That The Fallout Damaged Her Relationship With Jordan Jackson

Elsewhere in the “What’s The Reality” interview, Darby confirmed that she no longer speaks to Jordan Jackson. “No, we don’t speak,” she said.
The mother of two also expressed her regret about what happened.
“I mean, I do feel bad about it because if Charrisse genuinely feels the way she does, I am remorseful,” Darby added. “I don’t like the way she’s going about it, and that’s where I’m losing respect for her, but if she’s genuinely upset and I can acknowledge that I crossed a line, then we can deal with it.”

“But if you’re going to keep defaming me and saying all this stuff and talking bad about my character, then we have another problem,” she said.
‘RHOP’ Season 11 Will Bring OGs Back Together
MEGA
On April 10, Bravo took to social media to announce the returning cast for “RHOP” season 11, and while it was expected that Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, and Stacey Rusch would return, the inclusion of franchise OGs Robyn Dixon and Karen Huger grabbed all the attention.
Huger was last seen during part three of the season 10 reunion, which followed her sit-down interview with Andy Cohen, in which she discussed her prison stay, sobriety, and future on the show. She will return to the show in a full-time role after being absent last season.
Meanwhile, Dixon has not appeared on “RHOP” since she was fired at the end of season 8. She was set to appear last season for a celebration of her “Reasonably Shady” podcast with Bryant, who confirmed that Dixon chose not to attend because she was not happy “with how she left the show.”
