Ex-Disney Star Rips Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Vile’ ‘Euphoria’ Scene
Former Disney Channel star turned adult film actress Maitland Ward is not holding back when it comes to Sydney Sweeney’s controversial “Euphoria” storyline. Ward, best known for playing Rachel McGuire on “Boy Meets World,” is speaking out against the HBO drama’s depiction of OnlyFans in season three, specifically taking issue with Sweeney’s character, Cassie Howard, and the increasingly explicit content she creates on-screen.
During a recent interview with TMZ, Ward criticized several of Cassie’s OnlyFans moments, including scenes showing the character posing with pigtails and a pacifier while wearing sheer clothing.
“There’s all sorts of stuff that you can’t do,” Ward said. “The whole child-baby thing is so disgusting … You just can’t go into that whole underage thing like that. I mean, you can do it to an extent if it’s very, very playful, like, you’re an adult being childlike or something. But just the way it was handled was so gross, and it’s just disgusting and vile.”
According to Ward, the scenes cross a line when it comes to content standards associated with platforms like OnlyFans. She explained to TMZ that “you don’t want pedophilia anywhere near pornography,” while adding that creators can face removal from the platform if they violate those rules.
Ward Says ‘Euphoria’ Is Mocking OnlyFans Creators
Ward also accused the show of turning sex work into a joke rather than offering a realistic portrayal of creators. “It’s saying how weird and creepy they are,” Ward insisted. “There’s so many creators who are really working hard to build their brands every day, and this is really disingenuous.”
In a separate statement to Fox News Digital, the actress doubled down on her criticism. “This show is treating sex work like a circus act, a freak show,” Ward said. “Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal of an OnlyFans creator is setting sex workers real individuals with lives, families, and jobs back by making a mockery not only of what they choose to do with their bodies and lives, but of them as human beings.”
Maitland Ward Says ‘Euphoria’ Reinforces Harmful Stereotypes
Ward specifically called out what she sees as harmful stereotypes being reinforced by the storyline. “And of course, they use the traditional blonde, boobie-bimbo stereotype who will do anything for money and a jolt of fame, including posing as a dog licking a bowl and serving up pedophilia fantasies, as the one who goes into sex work,” she added.
The actress concluded by saying, “This only reinforces the false and harmful stereotypes that sex workers have to fight against every day. It’s completely out of touch.”
Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie Takes A Wild Turn In Season 3
Season three of “Euphoria” has taken Cassie Howard in a dramatically different direction. Sweeney’s character turns to OnlyFans to fund her lavish lifestyle, initially using the platform to pay for her wedding before attempting to stay afloat after learning her new husband, Nate Jacobs (played by Jacob Elordi), is reportedly broke and drowning in debt shortly after their marriage.
Throughout the season, viewers have watched Cassie create increasingly bizarre content, including dressing like a dog and drinking water from a dog bowl, posing in baby-inspired looks, jumping rope in revealing outfits for subscribers, mailing used underwear, and filming intimate content. The storyline has sparked major online debate, with fans split over whether “Euphoria” is pushing boundaries or simply going too far.
Maitland Ward Has Been Vocal About Hollywood’s Treatment Of Young Stars
Ward’s criticism comes as she continues opening up about her own Hollywood experience. The former child actress recently appeared on Investigation Discovery’s “Hollywood Demons,” where she reflected on growing up in the entertainment industry and the pressure placed on young performers. “It was very therapeutic to tell the story at the age that I am now,” Ward previously shared with Fox News Digital.
She also recalled feeling like studios viewed young actors as products. “I think it was such a factory kind of environment. Like you were just a product being sold, and you knew that yourself,” Ward explained. “I mean, I didn’t think anything was wrong at the time with anything that was going on, really.”
Ward, who transitioned into adult films roughly seven years ago, previously said the move surprisingly earned her more respect in Hollywood. “I didn’t get anybody coming out hating me for it or anything,” she said. “I really got a lot of positivity overall.”

Another couple from Netflix‘s popular reality show, “Love Is Blind,” has announced they are divorcing after four years of marriage.
Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin, who met and married on season 4 of the headline-making dating series, shared a heartfelt and lenghty message about the status of their relationship after months of speculation.
While fans haven’t been privy to what’s gone on behind the scenes since leaving the show, during their season of “Love Is Blind,” Appiah and Griffin had a rocky start, leaving fans with more questions than answers.
Appiah and Griffin announced their plans to split with a joint post on Instagram. “Last week would have marked our fourth wedding anniversary,” Griffin wrote. “Out of respect for the life we shared, I wanted to address this moment directly with the community that has supported us over the years.”
She called the end of her marriage to Appiah “heartbreaking,” adding that the outcome wasn’t what she hoped or planned for. “I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together,” she said.
Griffin explained that she and Appiah noticed that they were drifting apart, and while they have love for one another, they needed more.
“My mantra going forward is that I am strong, I am resilient, and there is still so much ahead of me,” she added.
Appiah Said His Divorce From Griffin Has Been ‘One Of The Hardest Decisions’ Of His Life
Appiah, meanwhile, shared a similar sentiment and added that their decision to split has “been on the hardest” he’s ever had to make.
“We built a life filled with memories, laughter, and love that I’ll always be grateful for,” he added. “We will always have respect and care for each other in everything we shared.”
According to Appiah, it was in the couple’s “best interest” to go their separate ways after realizing they weren’t aligned with their “life goals.”
The ‘Love Is Blind’ Couple Appeared To Deny Rumors That They Were Splitting In April 2026
Griffin and Appiah’s announcement comes just weeks after the pair appeared to shoot down rumors that they had broken up.
According to Cosmo, Griffin shared an image to her Instagram Stories in April 2026 of herself and Appiah enjoying the sun on their patio.
Appiah reshared the post to his own page and added the caption, “Sitting in what once was a pile of dirt & wood chips.”
Speculation surrounding the couple’s union ramped up over the past few months after users noticed that Griffin had stopped using Appiah’s last name and was missing her wedding ring in some photos.
Appiah And Griffin’s Story On ‘Love Is Blind’ Wasn’t Sunshine And Rainbows
While Appiah and Griffin’s split might be hard to hear, social media users seemed to believe it would eventually come.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Appiah and Griffin’s journey toward each other on “Love Is Blind” wasn’t the traditional love story.
According to Us Weekly, Appiah was involved in a love triangle with Griffin and Micah Lussier. His heart was set on the latter; however, when she connected with someone else, Appiah ran back to Griffin.
After asking Griffin to be his wife, Appiah said that he made the right decision. “I think no matter what, especially when you start looking at the life that you have now, but when you think about the connection I have with Chelsea — the pod relationship you have with someone [is] completely different from the actual relationship you have with someone,” he said.
He added, “Like, when I went past the pods with Chelsea, I was just like, ‘OK, this is almost a reflex for us, the way we interact, the way we understand each other.’ I just don’t believe that would’ve ever been the case with Micah, and I can respect that.”
Other ‘Love Is Blind’ Couples Have Divorced
Griffin and Appiah aren’t the only couples from “Love Is Blind” to divorce, according to TODAY.
In August 2022, Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson from season 2 announced their separation, while Jarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely shared a similar statement days later.
Season 3 stars Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux split in December 2024, and Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton divorced in 2025.
And that’s not all. Lydia Velez Gonzalez and James “Milton” Johnson IV, and season 7 contestants Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser, also split in 2025.
Some war epics are built around sweeping battlefields, huge speeches, and sheer awe — the kind that makes you feel the weight of history. This movie, instead, is a more intimate look, locking in on the tension of bomb disposal units, the physical weight of the suit, the dirt, the sweat, and the terror and knowledge that each second could be your last. Not exactly a comfort watch, but it’s one of the most gripping American war movies of the 21st century, and now it’s streaming for free.
The Hurt Locker is available to stream for free this month on Fawesome, which means it’s time for people to rediscover — or come across for the first time — Kathryn Bigelow’s Oscar-winning Iraq War thriller. Released in 2008, the film follows a U.S. Army bomb disposal unit working through the final weeks of its rotation in Baghdad. Bigelow doesn’t turn this war into a spectacle though, because it’s a tightly wound, introspective anxiety attack of a movie that focuses on the unique addiction of being close to danger.
The cast includes Jeremy Renner (The Town, Wind River) as Staff Sergeant William James, Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World, The Banker) as Sergeant J.T. Sanborn, Brian Geraghty (Flight, Boardwalk Empire) as Specialist Owen Eldridge, Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) as Staff Sergeant Matt Thompson, Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List, The Menu) as a private military contractor, David Morse (The Green Mile, Contact) as Colonel Reed, and Evangeline Lilly (Lost, Ant-Man) as Connie James.
Was ‘The Hurt Locker’ a Success?
By all metrics, it’s fair to say The Hurt Locker was a success, being a massive hit among critics and audiences. The film earned a nearly perfect 96% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and even the Popcornmeter, which measures audience response, sits at an 86%. It only grossed $49 million at the global box office, but this was enough to make it a financial win due to its very modest $15 million budget. Oh, it also won six Oscars at the 2010 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, which both went to Bigelow. Yep, this one was a success.

There are a lot of detective TV shows, both in the past and present. Some of them are admittedly corny with writing that doesn’t give the actors much to work with in terms of depth. Some are designed to be silly, campy, even on purpose. In these instances, overacting is actually appreciated, even applauded.
There are some great detective shows, however, from the last few decades, some of which are still on television, that highlight really great acting. This is thanks to the fantastic actors and great writing, as well as, in many cases, the overall tone of the show.
10
High Potential (2024–Present)
High Potential isn’t necessarily a serious detective show, but it is one of the best police procedurals of the 2020s. It’s a network TV crime drama that follows the usual procedural, case-of-the-week format with an overarching story involving interpersonal relationships among the main characters. But the acting is spot-on. Kaitlin Olson is so convincing as Morgan Gillory, an eccentric, “doesn’t-play-by-the-rules” single mother with a bold fashion sense and an incredibly brilliant mind. Daniel Sunjata, meanwhile, is absolutely perfect as the straight man to her quirkiness, detective Adam Karadec. He’s reluctantly forced to partner with Morgan once she’s hired as a consultant for the major crimes division of the local police department and the way they play off one another is beautiful.
The show shifts its tone from comedy to drama from one episode and moment to the next, meaning the actors have to move in kind, and they do so brilliantly. This isn’t a serious show like some of the others, but the acting is on par.
9
Bosch (2014–2021)
Titus Welliver is one of those actors fans recognize from so many projects but just can’t quite place him. He has had supporting roles in high-profile shows like Lost, Deadwood, and Sons of Anarchy, and appeared in movies like Gone Baby Gone and Argo. But it’s Bosch that really showed fans he could lead a show and a cast. And boy, could he do it well.
The police procedural follows detective Hary Bosch (Welliver) as he investigates various cases while simultaneously dealing with his own personal issues, including, in the first season, being tried for shooting a suspect in alleged self-defense. He tackles the clashing of his dedication to work and the annoyance of personal troubles that get in the way with on-screen ease. The story and writing are impeccable; the series is based on Michael Connelly novels, adding a level of grit. Welliver really brings it home alongside the supporting cast that includes the late Lance Reddick, Amy Aquino, Jason Gedrick, Jeri Ryan, and others.
8
Mare of Easttown (2021)
A crime drama miniseries, Mare of Easttown follows Marianne “Mare” Sheehan (Kate Winslet), a police detective investigating the murder of a teenage mother in her small Pennsylvania suburb while dealing with her own personal troubles. Earning 16 Emmy nominations and winning four, including one for Winslet, it’s no surprise this series was praised for its acting.
In fact, alongside Winslet, a revered A-list movie actor, Julianne Nicholson and Evan Peters also won for their main roles. With the amazing, gripping script, the series presents like a movie.
7
True Detective (2014–Present)
Every season of True Detective is different since it’s an anthology crime drama. But they all have one thing in common: they involve detectives investigating a case and an incredibly talented cast of A-listers. The first season stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, while Season 2 counts Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, and Vince Vaughn among its cast. Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff head up the cast for Season 3, and Jodie Foster mesmerizes in Season 4, equally matched by Kali Reis.
Once again, the stories in all four seasons of True Detective present like movies as viewers follow the emotional, sometimes terrifying, plots from start to finish. Featuring a range of themes and varying styles, including actors having to play themselves in multiple timelines in several seasons, each one is like a masterclass in acting.
6
The Fall (2013–2016)
Put Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan together and there’s no doubt the acting would be impeccable. Anderson convincingly puts on a British accent for the role of Metropolitan Police Superintendent Stella Gibson in The Fall, who is investigating a series of murders, believing them to be connected to a serial killer. Dornan, meanwhile, will give viewers the creeps as Peter Paul Spector, a grief counselor and family man who moonlights as a sick and twisted killer.
The cat and mouse game in the series is compelling, thanks in large part to these two leads carrying the plot along so smoothly. While the supporting cast is just as wonderful, these two undoubtedly shine whenever they’re on-screen, even more so when the pair is together in a scene.
5
Mindhunter (2017–2019)
Mindhunter is easily considered one of the best psychological crime thrillers of this decade. While both Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany nail their roles as two special agents in the Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI who coined the term “serial killer,” it’s the supporting cast that will blow viewers away.
The story is loosely based on the real story of the origin of this term and features interviews with actors playing some of the most notorious real-life serial killers in history, some dialogue taken right from the actual transcripts. The actors who take on the personas of killers like Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton), David Berkowitz (Oliver Cooper), and Charles Manson (Damon Herriman) fully capture the essence of these figures. It’s evident they studied everything from vocal inflection to mannerisms for months to slink so convincingly into the roles. It’s both fascinating and terrifying how good they are.
4
Dexter (2006–2013)
Arguably one of the most underrated crime dramas of the 2000s and 2010s when it comes to acting, it was like Michael C. Hall was born to play Dexter Morgan in Dexter. He beautifully weaves from awkward family man to menacing killer with such ease, convincing fans that he really does harbor a darkness inside him that he has become a master at hiding.
It’s not just about Hall, though. In all the best episodes of the later seasons, Jennifer Carpenter will give viewers chills with her emotionally charged performance. From grappling with the realities of who her adoptive brother is to reaching rock bottom after the death of a friend and mentor, her emotions flow through the screen right into viewers’ souls. It’s a travesty she was never nominated for an Emmy for her role.
3
Fargo (2014–2024)
Another TV show that has featured a cast of movie actors, Fargo is based on the 1996 movie of the same name. The black comedy crime drama follows an anthology format, with each season covering a different case in a different setting, time, and characters. With actors having to capture the essence of everything from the 1950s to the American Midwest, it’s entertaining and thought-provoking.
Actors like Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Jean Smart, Ted Danson, Ewan McGregor, Juno Temple, and Jon Hamm are all at the top of their games, adding their unique talents to the scripts across all five seasons. There isn’t a bad cast member among the bunch.
2
The Wire (2002–2008)
Raw, real, and written by a former police reporter and former homicide detective and public school teacher, the type of show that The Wire is wouldn’t have worked without a top-notch cast of brilliant actors. And that it has. The crime drama focuses on crime, law enforcement, and other related social issues within Baltimore, each season tackling a different pressing issue that plagues the city and impacts peace and order.
The late Michael K. Williams is a stand-out among the cast, along with Dominic West. They’re joined by a stellar lineup that includes the late Lance Reddick, Sonja Sohn, Seth Gilliam, Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, Amy Ryan, the list goes on and on. It’s no surprise many of the actors from this show had a long history in similar series or went on to achieve great success after their role in this show. The performances were gripping, emotional, and convincing, making viewers feel as though they were truly seeing a day in the life of whomever they were following.
1
Broadchurch (2013–2017)
The British crime drama Broadchurch is set in a fictional town and centers around detective inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and detective sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) as they investigate various cases, beginning with the murder of a child.
Earning rave reviews for all three of its seasons, one of the universally praised aspects of Broadchurch is the phenomenal cast. While it might be a typical police procedural, the superb acting elevates the concept, principally from the two leads but from the supporting cast as well, including Jodie Whittaker and Jonathan Bailey.
Ronda Rousey scored a stunning 17-second victory over Gina Carano in both MMA legends’ return to the combat sport for Netflix.
The heavily-anticipated fight took place on Saturday, May 16, at the the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, under the banner of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. (Carano, 44, last fought in August 2009 when she lost by TKO to Cris Cyborg in the first round. Rousey, 39, most recently competed in December 2016 when she lost via TKO to Amanda Nunes in 48 seconds.)
In Saturday’s fight, Rousey quickly trapped Carano in an arm-bar to score the submission victory less than 20 seconds after the fight officially started. The two MMA icons shared a tearful hug after their brief fight.
Dimitri Iundt/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images The Olympics features the best of the best going for the gold — and that can spark some heated rivalries. Arguably the most infamous Olympic rivalry occurred between professional figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. Their feud went so far that Harding’s ex-husband and bodyguard hired a man to […]
“Gina is the person who brought me into MMA and is the only person who could have brought me back into MMA,” Rousey told Ariel Helwani after the bout. “She’s my f***ing hero, man. She brought me back home when no one else could … You changed my world and we changed the world.”
Asked whether there is any chance she will fight again, Rousey replied, “There’s no way I could have ended it better than this. I want to have some more babies and get cooking.”
Netflix’s MVP MMA 1 featured a stacked card where former Ultimate Fighter winner Nate Diaz lost to UFC veteran Mike Perry and ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou defeated Philipe Lins in a five-round heavyweight fight.
Rousey announced her surprise return to MMA in February after spending the last decade competing on and off in professional wrestling for WWE.
“Been waiting so long to announce this: Me and Gina Carano are gonna throw down in the biggest super fight in women’s combat sport history!” she said in a statement. “And we’re partnering with the fighter-first promotion MVP as well as the biggest and baddest streamer on the planet Netflix. This is for all MMA fans past, present and future. More to come… much more.”
At the time, Carano said that a long-awaited dream match against Rousey was the only offer intriguing enough to bring her out of a near 17-year retirement.
“Ronda came to me and said there is only one person she would make a comeback for and it has been her dream to make this fight happen between us,” Carano said in February. “She thanked me for opening up doors for her in her career and was respectful in asking for this fight to happen. This is an honor. I believe I will walk out of this fight with the win, and I anticipate it will not come easy, which I welcome. This is as much for Ronda and me as it is for the fans and mixed martial arts community. What a time to be alive.”

Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in April, Rousey opened up about how her fight training has changed since becoming a mom. (Rousey and her husband, Travis Browne, share two daughters: La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō, 4, and Liko’ula Pā’ūomahinakaipiha, 17 months.)
“It’s definitely more fun because we’ve made having fun the priority, instead of just making it all about the result, experience be damned,” she explained. “It’s leading to better results than I ever could have had otherwise. Every day is fun. I feel like I have energy, and I’m not digging deep every single second of the day. It’s really a great time to share with them.”
Rousey went on, “Pō loves being on the mat. She’s gonna be so sad when we take the cage out, because it’s like a gigantic playpen for them, and she loves to watch me train. … She’s usually such a hyper kid. When I was a kid, my mom said the only way she would be able to sit down was if she put me in a box and sat on it. That’s how my daughter is.”
The UFC released the long-awaited fight card for the upcoming event at the White House on Saturday, March 8. The card features six fights, including two title bouts. The event — dubbed “UFC Freedom Fights 250” — is part of the 250th anniversary celebrations for the United States. Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje will compete […]
“I was cursed to raise a child with as much energy as me, but man, when I’m training, she just sits there and watches, transfixed,” she joked. “She definitely wants to fight and has been asking me to. She saw some kids doing jujitsu and said, ‘I want to do that.’ I was like, ‘You will.’ I don’t want to push her in it too early.”
Rousey also touched on what could come next in her life and career now that she has stepped back into the MMA world.
“Me and my husband want to try for two more kids. I just want to make more little people. … Professionally, I feel like there’s nothing else I could really do that is worth taking time away from my family ever again,” she told Us in April.
Megyn Kelly has no sympathy for Stephen Colbert. In fact, the former NBC personality slammed the CBS mainstay on Friday, claiming he’s thrown a “hissy fit” as he begins the final week of his popular series, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
On the most recent episode of her podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the former Fox News host seemed thrilled that Colbert’s time on the late-night program was coming to an end.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Colbert announced that his show was being canceled by CBS in July 2025.
Earlier this week, Colbert had former “Late Show” host David Letterman on the program, and during the episode, they went to the top of the CBS headquarters building and threw props off it into the street.
Kelly seemed incensed by Colbert’s actions and, on her show, praised “Jesus,” saying that his “bizarre goodbye to late night is finally almost over.”
“It’s gone on forever, but not before he throws a hissy fit temper tantrum with the former host of the CBS program,” she said. “He and Letterman got together to just express how very, very angry they are about poor Stephen Colbert’s show getting canceled. Cry me a river, would you take it like a man? Honestly, where are your testicles? This is so humiliating. We know you got canceled.”
Megyn Kelly Continues To Unleash On Stephen Colbert During His Final Week As ‘Late Night’ Host
Kelly implied that her frustrated response to Colbert and Letterman’s actions stemmed from the response she received from the public when she was axed from NBC and “The Today Show” after making comments many deemed to be racist.
“When I got canned from NBC, everyone was calling me a racist. They were humiliating me everywhere. Yes, I got a little teary the day after, because it was overwhelming,” she said.
Kelly went on to say that she handled her business amid the backlash instead of seeking sympathy from the public.
“Take it like a man. Stop it. Stop this. Put your big boy pants on and exit with grace. You’re humiliating yourself. Truly, you’re humiliating mankind. I don’t want my sons to see this behavior. This is so embarrassing. You didn’t get cancer, you got canceled! It happens. Grow up,” she said.
Letterman Blasts CBS For ‘Lying’ About The Reason The ‘Late Show’ Was Canceled
Weeks ago, Letterman spoke with The New York Times about the end of “The Late Show” and accused CBS’ owners of being dishonest about the beloved late-night series.
“He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, ‘Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry,’” Letterman said.
CBS is replacing “The Late Show” with Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed,” and, according to Letterman, it’s so they can make money by charging Allen “some unreasonable price” to air.
“I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing, Jason. They’re lying weasels,” Letterman said.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Kelly understands what it’s like to be removed from the air.
In 2018, NBC pulled her hour from “The Today Show” after she made critical comments about blackface regarding costumes.
“But what is racist? Because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character,” she said.
Kelly Apologized Days Later After Being Called Out By NBC Colleagues
Kelly faced immediate backlash from the public and her NBC colleagues, including Al Roker and Craig Melvin, for her comments.
While Kelly’s show was canceled, she apologized for her comments, admitting she was “wrong.”
“I learned that given the history of blackface being used in awful ways by racists in this country, it is not okay for that to be part of any costume, Halloween or otherwise,” she said.
She added, “This past year has been painful for many people of color. The country feels so divided, and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity, and honor. I want to be part of that. Thank you for listening and for helping me listen too.”
Netflix currently plays host to some of the most-watched shows on streaming, from the true-crime series Should I Marry A Murderer and Jack Thorne‘s Lord of the Flies adaptation to the return of Devil May Cry and The Roast of Kevin Hart. One of the very best new shows dominating the Netflix charts is the must-watch seven-episode crime thriller, Man on Fire. Based on the same novel that inspired the 2004 movie starring Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning, the show features a star-studded cast, including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Billie Boullet, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy, and Bobby Cannavale, and earned a huge 11 million views in its first four days.
However, with all seven episodes released at once at the end of April, most have already finished their binge-watch of this pulse-racing series. So what next? Well, it seems as if Man on Fire fans have turned to a perfect Bruce Willis-led alternative from all the way back in 1993. The Die Hard, The Sixth Sense, and Pulp Fiction star certainly has one of the best filmographies in the business, with the serial killer thriller Striking Distance one of the more underrated entries in his catalog.
Currently receiving the love it deserved more than 30 years ago, Striking Distance is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Netflix in the U.S. The movie is also proving popular internationally, ranking in the top 15 on Apple TV in Ireland and the top ten on Apple TV in the UK. In the Rowdy Herrington-directed movie, Willis plays a homicide detective named Tom Hardy (no, not that one), and is joined in a strong cast by the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore, and others.
Critics Weren’t Kind to ‘Striking Distance’
Although it has aged fairly well, with its faults now looking much better through a ’90s nostalgia lens, Striking Distance faced a heap of negative reviews upon release. Scoring just 20% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Striking Distance is one of the lowest-rated on the site of any Willis-led movie. Legendary critic Roger Ebert wrote of the film, “Striking Distance is an exhausted reassembly of bits and pieces from all the other movies that are more or less exactly like this one.”
The Bruce Willis-led Striking Distance is streaming on Netflix. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

No streamer has built up a catalog as extensive as Netflix‘s. Filled to the brim with movies, series, documentaries, and more, Netflix continues to serve as the place to go for top-tier entertainment. But with wall-to-wall content, there will inevitably be some you miss. With binge-watching all the rage, it sounds easy to watch a miniseries in a single sitting, but there are times you’ll likely miss some that you’ll wish you caught sooner.
The 10 titles on this list are not only brilliant, but they’re also examples of why Netflix reigns supreme. From gritty crime thrillers with A-list stars to powerful ripped-from-the-headlines dramas, the miniseries here are destined to leave you satisfied upon completion. Though many of the obvious greats you likely have already watched, this won’t be filled with them. This list is to celebrate the greats that didn’t get the same adoration as the obvious shows like Adolescence and Baby Reindeer. These are the shows that deserve to be in the same conversation with them.
1
‘Alias Grace’ (2017)
We all know Margaret Atwood for her novel The Handmaid’s Tale and the thrilling series that came from it, but what about the adaptation of her other work? In 2017, Netflix brought Atwood’s Alias Grace to life. The true-crime story depicts Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a poor Irish immigrant maid in 1840s Canada, convicted of murdering her employer and his housekeeper, Thomas Kinnear and Nancy Montgomery (Paul Gross and Anna Paquin). The story focuses on whether she is a cold-blooded killer or a victim of circumstance and memory loss. Written by Sarah Polley and directed by Mary Harron, the slow-burning psychological thriller leaves the viewer questioning Grace’s guilt or innocence until the bitter end.
With a postmodern vantage on a Victorian crime story, the usage of an unreliable narrator, Alias Grace is a compelling watch. Led by Gadon’s hypnotic performance, Alias Grace is a nuanced, feminist-forward masterclass expertly portraying a complex, often ambiguous character who is simultaneously a victim, a victimizer, and a skilled storyteller. The story focuses on how Grace’s story has been historically manipulated by men, tackling themes of the constraints of class, gender, and power. A compelling period drama, Alias Grace is a dark and twisted gem.
2
‘Black Rabbit’ (2025)
The last quarter of 2025 was quite busy on Netflix with the debut of The Beast in Me and the final episodes of Stranger Things, so it’s understandable why you missed the Jude Law and Jason Bateman thriller. But once you sit down and start Black Rabbit, you’ll be glued to your screens. Created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, the highly stressful crime drama tells of estranged brothers Jake and Vince Friedken, whose reunion triggers a chaotic descent into New York City’s dangerous criminal underworld. The show focuses on high-stakes gambling debts, family toxicity, and the destruction of a prestigious restaurant, Black Rabbit. Ozark meets The Bear, Black Rabbit is an anxiety-inducing watch that effectively explores themes of loyalty, debt, and the burden of the past through a fast-paced narrative of unnerving trouble.
With a moody atmosphere, magnetic performances, and a gritty portrayal of Manhattan nightlife, Black Rabbit has a cinematic edge in its episodic form. Black Rabbit is an addictive watch thanks to its well-structured story that keeps you guessing about where it will lead next. Just when you think there may be a moment to breathe, something happens that raises the anxiety to its peak. Led by dynamite performances from Bateman and Law, the entire ensemble brings their A-game to the project. From Amaka Okafor as Roxie, the ambitious head chef, to Forrest Weber as Junior, the mob boss’s fire starter son, each actor provides a full-body performance that keeps the story captivating. Black Rabbit deserves a seat at the VIP table.

‘Bodies’ (2023)
Some shows require your complete, undivided attention, and Bodies was very much one of them. In fact, a whiteboard may have come in handy for its intricate story. Based on the DC Vertigo graphic novel, the sci-fi mystery thriller follows four detectives in four eras — DS Sharhara Hasan (Amaka Okafor), DS Karl Weissman (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), DI Alfred Hillinghead (Kyle Soller), and DC Iris Maplewood (Shira Haas) — who discover the same dead body in the same London location, uncovering a massive, century-spanning conspiracy involving a cult leader and a time-looping doomsday device. As each detective slowly unravels the truth about how their cases connect through the mysterious time-traveling figure Elias Mannix/Julian Harker (Stephen Graham and Gabriel Howell), Bodies is a time-warped team-up adventure that culminates in the prevention of a catastrophic event.
If there is one thing guaranteed while watching Bodies, it’s this: it’s tightly plotted. Unlike many mystery box stories, Bodies’ interconnecting narrative is a clear puzzle that comes together effortlessly. You just might not get it immediately on the journey. That’s the hook. If you stick to the story and allow the gripping action to unravel, the payoff is well worth it. A truly transcendent tale, Bodies is a twisty time travel story that masterfully captures the atmosphere of each time period. With a satisfying conclusion, this is one high-concept tale you don’t need more because of its perfect ending.

‘Cunk on Earth’ (2023)
Blending the worlds of satirical comedy and historical documentary, Cunk on Earth introduced Diane Morgan’s Philamena Cunk to a worldwide audience. And yes, we’ve been changed for the better and for good. The mockumentary series features the ill-informed investigative reporter as she travels the world attempting to tell the story of human civilization from early prehistory to the modern day. Through its high concentration of jokes, dry, deadpan humor, and a unique blend of accurate, factual information and absurd, satirical, and uninformed narration, Cunk on Earth extended the sensationally crafted character as she wreaked havoc on unsuspecting experts with her absurd line of questioning.
The range of topics, from the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution to the evolution of AI, Cunk on Earth maintains the big-budget BBC-style documentary approach as it absolutely rips history to shreds. Complete with sweeping drone shots and pensive shots of the fictional host, it’s the ridiculous commentary that keeps us laughing on the floor. The writing and improvisation are sharp. Whether she’s talking about her mate Paul or wittily integrating her fixation on the unrelated Belgium techno anthem “Pump Up the Jam,” the payoffs are worth it in the end. Cunk had a life pre-Netflix, and she’s about to have more soon. What’s clear is that the format is an addictive winner, proving that dry humor is very much a beloved style of comedy.

‘Godless’ (2017)
Before the Taylor Sheridan Western boom on television, Netflix had its hands on an underrated hit, Godless. In the Scott Frank-created series, Roy Goode (Jack O’Connell), a young outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor, Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels), seeks revenge for betraying him. He winds up in La Belle, a small New Mexico mining town populated almost entirely by women after a mining disaster killed most of the men, who band together to defend their home against a murderous gang. A show about morality in the face of survival, Godless explores the strength of community and the tension between freedom and order.
What sets Godless apart from much Western content is its brilliant take on a female-centric narrative. Godless features a sensational ensemble led by Michelle Dockery as Alice Fletcher, an unflinching widow, and Merritt Wever as Mary-Agnes, the widow of the mayor and lover of another woman, Callie Dunne (Tess Frazer). They serve as fervent characters who face off against the present force of men in the overarching story. Godless is also known for its sweeping cinematography, masterfully capturing the grit and charm of the Old West. Godless is an airtight, no-filler series that deserves to be hailed as a top-tier period Western.
6
‘Maid’ (2017)
Many great miniseries work in a limited capacity because they are based on an already established complete story. Having the blueprint laid out means the episodic story is clear and concise. Such was the case for Molly Smith Metzler’s series, Maid. Based on Stephanie Land‘s memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive, the 10-episode series tells the story of Alex Russell (Margaret Qualley), a young mother struggling to make ends meet who flees an emotionally abusive relationship and works as a house cleaner to support her toddler daughter. A gritty exploration of poverty, homelessness, and bureaucratic hurdles, Maid is a faithful adaptation through a realistic, empathetic portrayal of poverty and a young woman’s determination to break the cycle.
Maid is an unflinching, unfiltered examination of single motherhood. With a compelling performance that established Qualley as a rising star, Maid captures the immense difficulty of moving from crisis to stability. Qualley provides resilience as Alex. Her scenes with those who contributed to her emotional turmoil are some of the most profound. The dynamic of mother and daughter is exceptional, perhaps due to the fact that it’s Qualley’s actual mom, Andie MacDowell, who plays Paula Langley, Alex’s estranged mother. Maid isn’t always the easiest watch because it intricately depicts the struggles of being in a toxic relationship while avoiding hard clichés. A word-of-mouth series, Maid continues to resonate as a strong entry in the Netflix vault.

‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ (2023)
Surely you became addicted to Mike Flanagan and his horror brilliance upon completing The Haunting of Hill House. You were taken by The Haunting of Bly Manor and then Midnight Mass. Then, The Midnight Club was canceled after a season. All great series, but it’s The Fall of the House of Usher, the last in the string on Netflix-Flanagan’s collaborations, that is the hidden gem. The haunting eight-part thriller chronicles Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the corrupt CEO of a pharmaceutical company, whose life and family dynasty collapse when his six children begin dying in brutal, mysterious ways over two weeks. A Gothic horror masterpiece that uses dark humor as a critique of corporate greed, The Fall of the House of Usher tells you exactly what will happen; the allure of watching comes from just how it happens.
Filled to the brim with Flanagan mainstays having a blast in the twisted tale, The Fall of the House of Usher is a biting critique of modern themes through the lens of Edgar Allan Poe‘s Gothic literature. If you are a horror fanatic who gets a rise from graphic, creative deaths, this series delivers in spades. A horror version of Succession, The Fall of the House of Usher offers a satisfying, cathartic narrative and thrives through its portrayal of corrupt individuals receiving their gruesome comeuppance. With a sensational ensemble featuring Carla Gugino at her very best in a Flanagan series, the acting truly sets the show up for sensational success. A polished narrative with Flanagan’s signature style, The Fall of the House of Usher has left us wanting more.

‘Unbelievable’ (2019)
With an onslaught of nonstop crime dramas, one or two might fall through the cracks. And sometimes that one or two just happen to be great. One such example is Unbelievable. The miniseries is based on the 2015 news article “An Unbelievable Story of Rape,” written by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong about the Washington and Colorado serial rape cases. The story follows a teenager, Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever), who is charged with lying about a sexual assault, and the subsequent investigation by two detectives, Grace Rasmussen (Toni Collette) and Karen Duvall (Merritt Weaver), to uncover the truth and track down a serial rapist. Unbelievable is a harrowing ordeal that pinpoints the systemic failures, victim-blaming, and the trauma of assault.
Though many shows tackle similar themes, Unbelievable prioritizes victims’ experiences over sensationalism. By focusing on empathy through realism, the series’ strong care for the psychological trauma of victims and the painstaking, realistic work of investigators allows the story to feel honest, offering catharsis. Unbelievable is also a must-watch thanks to the sensational performances of the three female leads. Collette and Weaver use their seasoned skills for grounded performances, as Deaver is simply devastatingly good with her nuanced take. With a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, Unbelievable remains a hidden gem.
9
‘Unorthodox’ (2020)
Every story needs to be told, but not every story gets a platform to do so. Inspired by Deborah Feldman‘s 2012 autobiography, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, tells the story of Esty Shapiro (Shira Haas), a 19-year-old Jewish woman who flees her suffocating, arranged marriage and the restrictive Satmar Hasidic community in Brooklyn to start a new life in Berlin. The four-part story chronicles her journey of self-discovery, secular exploration, and escape from intense religious, social, and marital pressures. A truly fascinating story, Unorthodox is a niche coming-of-age story that packs a powerful punch with an accessible approach.
Unorthodox is a first in many ways. First, the series marked Netflix’s first series to be mostly presented in Yiddish. The first story of this type on the streamer is compelling and well-paced, giving each primary character a chance to ruminate and offer their perspective. On the one hand, Unorthodox depicts Esty’s mesmerizing growth. On the other hand, it’s a cat-and-mouse chase in which Esty’s husband, Yanky (Amit Rahav), and his cousin try to find her. While they work in parallel, their convergence allows for a complete story rather than a skewed narrative. Unorthodox fully immerses viewers in the locales, namely the Brooklyn Hasidic community and the progressive side of Berlin, and cultures to ensure authenticity. By depicting one as open and the other as claustrophobic, Esty’s experience becomes transcendent. If the story doesn’t grab your attention, Haas’ performance sure will.

‘When They See Us’ (2019)
Some stories may seem absolutely unbelievable, but when you learn the intricacies behind the scenes of the ripped-from-the-headlines stories, that’s when the unbelievable becomes transcendent. You may be familiar with the Central Park Five, but following When They See Us, it’s as if you’ve truly been given the entire tale. When They See Us explores the events surrounding the 1989 Central Park jogger case, putting a spotlight on the Central Park Five — five Black and Latino teenagers, Antron McCray (Caleel Harris), Kevin Richardson (Asante Blackk), Yusef Salaam (Ethan Herisse), Raymond Santana (Marquis Rodriguez), and Korey Wise (Jharrel Jerome), who were wrongfully convicted of assaulting a white woman. The four-part series dramatizes their lives over 25 years, covering the 1989 investigation, their 2002 exoneration, and their ultimate settlement with New York City. Through its exceptional depiction of the suspects and their families, When They See Us sparked a crucial conversation about social justice, even in a time when the case seemed unimaginable.
Brought to life by director Ava DuVernay, the Netflix series brought the true story to the screen with precision and care. DuVernay challenged audiences’ perception of what justice looks like in a broken justice system that begs for due process. The best part of When They See Us was the special piece produced alongside the series featuring Oprah Winfrey catching up with the actors and the men they played. What made the series astonishing was the extraordinary ensemble. Beyond the men who took on the central roles, strong performances came from Felicity Huffman, Niecy Nash, Michael K. Williams, and Vera Farmiga. A truly heavy series, When They See Us is sensational and deserves everyone’s attention.
Charlamagne Tha God recently shared his savage reaction to Drake‘s slew of new albums and some of the celebrities he took aim at. On an episode of “The Breakfast Club,” the 47-year-old said Mr. Iceman’s rhymes about the father of two could spark one of two things.
Fans knew Drake was dropping his latest album, “Iceman,” on May 15, 2026. They didn’t know that the 39-year-old would release two additional projects, “Maid of Honour” and “Habiti.”
On “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne tried to get ahead of the people who would argue Drake’s latest releases were all solid works.
“Salute to everyone out there who’s gonna lie and say they listened to all three Drake albums, even though all three Drake albums came out after midnight,” he said. “Ain’t no way in h-ll you listened to all three Drake albums, so don’t even call up here telling that lie this morning, giving your reviews.”
Charlamagne said on the show that he didn’t want to hear any reviews “on any Drake music until at least next Wednesday or Thursday.”
Charlamagne Says Drake’s Bars About DJ Khaled Could Trigger One Of Two Things
Elsewhere in the episode, Charlamagne and his co-hosts listened to a snippet of Drake’s track, “Make Them Pay.”
In the song, the Candian takes aim at DJ Khaled, saying, “Khaled, you know what I mean, the beef was fully life, you went Halala, and your people are still waiting for a ‘Free Palestine’ but apparently everything isn’t black and white and red and green. I’m seeing everyone’s true colors.”
Charlamagne appeared to make light of the lyrics, saying, “D-mn. You gon’ make Khaled lose 21 pounds, man.” He added, “Khaled, I tried to warn you three days ago that you was getting a big shot.”
And that’s not all Charlamagne had to say. According to him, Drake’s rap will either make Khaled “lose more weight or gain more weight from stress eating—one of the two.”
Drake Took Direct Shots At Several Celebrities On His Album
DJ Khaled isn’t the only A-lister who was subject to Drake’s venom. According to Page Six, the “Views” rapper took shots at Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Jay-Z, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, Rick Ross, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, and NBA All-Star LeBron James.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Drake’s issues with James date back to 2024, when the Los Angeles Lakers player was seen dancing to Lamar’s viral diss track, “Not Like Us.”
On his latest song, “1 Am In Albany,” Drake said, “I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up.”
He went even further, making it clear that he was speaking about James, saying, “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n****, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.”
James seemingly confirmed his issues with Drake during a previous interview, saying the pair had drifted over the years.
“Always wish him the best. Obviously, um, different places right now, currently. He’s doing his thing, I’m doing mine. But it’s always love, for sure,” he said.
Drake Sets Spotify Record After Dropping Three Albums On May 15
Following the release of “Iceman,” Drake’s first album since “For All The Dogs” in 2023, Spotify announced that Drake had set a record, becoming the streaming giant’s “most-streamed artist of 2026 in a single day.” The project’s opening track, “Make Them Cry,” became the most-streamed song in a single day in 2026.
Users React To The Latest Project
Despite setting a new record, it appears some listeners weren’t pleased with Drake’s project, as one user on X wrote, “His actual rapping ability regressed into remedial nonsense when he leaned into writing lines for IG captions instead of storytelling.”
Another user said, “How about you just give us one good one?”
Someone else seemed bothered by Drake’s release, saying, “Artists used to make 50-80 songs per album, then carefully handpick and refine the best ones for the final cut. Now, they’re just putting everything out at low quality just to boost streaming numbers.”
Fans can watch some post-apocalyptic films and be wowed by the potential of the world, and the glamor of what the world could become. Other times, everyone is on a level playing field and fending for themselves. This is not one of the movies that gives you hope for the future. In fact, by the end of it, you’ll feel absolutely hopeless. Fun for the whole family, right? We’re not selling it brilliantly, but if you’re curious, read on.
The Road is streaming for free this month on Fawesome. Directed by John Hillcoat and based on Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, it follows a father and son making their way across a devastated America in the aftermath of an undisclosed cataclysm; they don’t have lofty goals, they just want to keep moving south, avoiding trouble and “carrying the fire.”
The cast includes Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Eastern Promises) as the Man, Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog, Let Me In) as the Boy, Charlize Theron (Monster, Mad Max: Fury Road) as the Woman, Robert Duvall (The Godfather, Tender Mercies) as the Old Man, Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) as the Veteran, Molly Parker (Deadwood, House of Cards) as the Veteran’s Wife, and Michael K. Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) as the Thief.
Was ‘The Road’ Successful?
The Road grossed about $27.6 million worldwide against a $25 million production budget, so it barely washed its face at the box office and wouldn’t have been profitable once marketing costs were factored in. But then it’s not a huge surprise that one of the most depressing movies ever made wasn’t a huge financial success! Domestically, it made only about $8.1 million, with most of its box office coming from overseas, so evidently foreign audiences took more joy in seeing America turned into a desolate wasteland.
Critically, though, it did much better, and it holds a 74% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus hailing the performances of Mortensen and Smit-McPhee, and praising the faithfulness shown to McCarthy’s unbelievably bleak story. The Road is streaming for free this month on Fawesome. But brace yourselves when you watch it, because you’re truly not going to find it easy.
Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming updates.

Courtney Stodden is entering what she is calling a “smaller, softer, more elegant era.” The reality star and media personality revealed on social media that another body transformation is officially underway, just months after undergoing a $20,000 nose procedure.
Stodden took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that a breast reduction surgery is next on the list. In a candid video, the TV personality got ahead of any online speculation by telling followers, “before the tabloids do their thing, I’m officially downsizing next week.”
The clip showed Stodden panning the camera downward while explaining that Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Stuart A. Linder will be handling the procedure. “The girls have had a very long, Hollywood run. And honestly, they deserve a graceful retirement era,” Stodden joked.
The star also made it clear this wasn’t a rushed decision, adding, “Doctor Linder has literally been taking care of me for years and I trust him so much.” Stodden later admitted she is “actually really excited for this next chapter.”
Before ending the video, the reality star signed off with one final message: “Smaller boobs, bigger peace and happy birthday doc,” followed by blowing a kiss toward the camera. At this time, Stodden has not clarified whether the procedure involves fully removing implants or simply reducing size.
Stodden Doubled Down In Instagram Caption
The announcement didn’t stop with the video. In the caption, Stodden praised Dr. Linder while teasing what’s ahead. “Happy birthday to the man, the myth, the legend @drstuartlinder. And yes… next week the girls are officially entering their smaller, softer, more elegant era.”
Stodden also explained why she feels confident moving forward with the procedure, writing, “Dr. Linder has taken care of me for years, and I trust him endlessly. excited for this next chapter and honestly excited to breathe again lol.”
Stodden Says She Is Done Feeling Shame About Her Body
Earlier this month, Stodden opened up about the years of criticism she has faced over her appearance, saying she is no longer apologizing for her body. “For a long time, I was taught to feel ashamed of my body because people blamed me for what happened to me at 16,” Stodden said.
The comment appeared to reference Stodden’s highly publicized 2011 marriage to actor Doug Hutchison. At the time, Stodden was 16 years old while Hutchison was 51, sparking widespread backlash and intense public scrutiny over their 35-year age gap. Although Stodden was underage, the marriage was legally permitted with parental consent.
Years later, Stodden has become vocal about wanting to prevent others from experiencing similar situations. “I don’t want this to happen to anyone else, and it scares me,” Stodden told PEOPLE while discussing the ongoing issue of underage marriage laws in the United States.
Stodden, who finalized her divorce from Hutchison in 2020 after filing in 2018, has since used her platform to raise awareness about the issue and advocate for change. She added, “I’m done carrying that shame. Women deserve to feel beautiful without being punished for it.”
Courtney Stodden Has Been Open About Plastic Surgery Journey
Stodden’s latest update comes after years of openly discussing cosmetic procedures. The TV personality first made headlines for getting breast implants at 18, increasing from a C cup to a DD shortly after marrying Hutchison in 2011.
At the time, Stodden told E! News they felt “very confident” following the procedure, though Hutchison reportedly had reservations. “He was actually kind of against it at first, but is very supportive. I don’t think anybody should go under the knife for other people. I think you should do it for yourself,” Stodden said.
She also admitted loving the results, adding, “I love the way my shape looks, it looks more Jessica Rabbit-y, and it just makes me feel more sexy, more like a woman.” Years later, however, Stodden revealed she had those implants removed.
Health Concerns Played A Role In Past Decisions
In 2022, Stodden told Newsweek that while she supported cosmetic enhancements, physical discomfort pushed her toward removing implants. “I loved having them, I’m not against plastic surgery,” the star explained. “If you want to do something to your body that is your freaking choice, but my back feels like a 90-year-old woman.”
The latest surgery news comes less than a year after Stodden underwent a septoplasty to correct a deviated septum, along with what she described as a subtle cosmetic refinement. “While I was in surgery, I also opted for a very minor revision to the outside of my nose,” Stodden said at the time. “This was not a dramatic cosmetic change, but more of a small refinement while addressing my health concerns.”
She later added that she was “feeling so much better already and grateful to finally be breathing easier.”
