Blake Lively has reportedly lost the support of her close circle amid her ongoing lawsuit with her “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni.

The actress and director have been embroiled in a legal battle since the project, with the case set to go to trial in May.

However, those close to Blake Lively are said to believe she may not win and are privately urging her to settle with Justin Baldoni, though she remains determined to see the case through to the end.

The Actress’s Close Circle Is ‘Begging’ Her To Settle

With only weeks to go before Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni heads to trial, her close circle is reportedly reconsidering whether she should proceed with the case.

The actress sued her “It Ends With Us” co-star for sexual harassment and other claims stemming from their time on set and beyond, and has continued to stand firm amid the ongoing legal back-and-forth with Baldoni’s attorneys since filing the suit.

Now, sources who spoke with Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack say Lively’s friends and loved ones aren’t confident she will emerge victorious and have advised her to settle in order to avoid potential embarrassment if she loses.

“People around Blake are begging her to settle,” an insider told the journalist. “They think enough damage has already been done.”

“This is not the win she thinks it is,” the source added about the actress. “The case is weaker now, not stronger.”

Blake Lively Wants To See The Case Through Despite Dismissal Of Most Claims

According to the source, concerns among Lively’s friends about her losing the case intensified after a judge dismissed several of the claims she brought against Baldoni in 2024.

Judge Lewis Liman allowed only three of the 13 legal claims filed by Lively to proceed, dismissing others, including her sexual harassment and defamation allegations, in his 152-page ruling on April 2.

Despite this significant setback just weeks before the trial, Lively is said to be determined to see her day in court and is not backing down.

“She’s framing this as something bigger,” the insider continued about the actress who previously failed to settle with Baldoni during a court-mandated meeting that lasted several hours.

 “A fight about ‘digital violence’ and speaking out,” they further hinted at Lively’s reason for wanting to see the case through.

Blake Lively’s Husband Is No Longer Confident In The Case, Source Claims

Some of Lively’s close friends reportedly feel that the longer the case drags on, the more the actress is likely to suffer reputational and professional damage.

They also believe that the impact isn’t limited to Lively alone; her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who has been her biggest supporter since she took legal action against Baldoni, could also face similar losses.

“Ryan has been by her side, but even he’s starting to wobble,” added the insider. “This is affecting everything — their image, their careers, their relationships,” the source explains. “It’s not contained anymore.”

For now, Lively still has the opportunity to step back, but if she forges ahead, many believe she could face an even greater risk of loss in the coming weeks.

“She can keep going, but she may lose a lot more before this is over,” the source concluded.

Blake Lively Looks Forward To ‘Testifying’

Baldoni also faced a setback with Liman’s ruling, as his push for a summary judgment was only partly granted.

Despite this, he also remains committed to seeing the case through like Lively, as noted in statements following the April ruling, per People Magazine.

Lively’s lawyer, Sigrid McCawley, stated that the “Another Simple Favor” star is looking forward to “testifying at trial and continuing to shine a light on this vicious form of online retaliation so that it becomes easier to detect and fight.”

Justin Baldoni Pleased As He Is Now Left With A ‘Significantly Narrowed Case’

Baldoni, on his own part, noted he was pleased with the ruling and cited how the case was now “significantly narrowed.”

“These were very serious allegations, and we are grateful to the Court for its careful review of the facts, law, and voluminous evidence that was provided,” read a statement from his lawyers, Alexandra Shapiro and Jonathan Bach of Shapiro Arato Bach.

“What’s left is a significantly narrowed case, and we look forward to presenting our defense to the remaining claims in court,” they added.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Monday, April 6th: Jacob and Naomi’s Anniversary

On Monday, April 6, it’s season 2, episode 64 of BTG, and we’ve got Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe) helping Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges). I do wonder if he’s going to lay into Izaiah for pressuring Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) along with their mom, Darlene Hawthorne (Monique Mosse).

You know, trying to get Naomi to hand over her burner phone. I also wonder if Jacob might be getting Izaiah to deliver a present or something to Naomi on their anniversary because they made love, then they had to say goodbye, which means Naomi is spending her anniversary away from Jacob. But we’re going to see some engineered flashbacks of their love story.

The start of their relationship all the way until they said I do. Plus, Naomi is scared for Jacob, but she can’t tell her family the truth. She’s got Ashley Morgan, (Jen Jacob), Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley), and Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) supporting her, but they all think Naomi is simply upset that Jacob is away for work when it’s actual life and death fear that she’s got going.

This week, on Beyond the Gates, Naomi tells somebody she’s terrified Jacob won’t come home. She’s at Uptown having lunch with somebody. Maybe her mother-in-law Darlene, maybe her father-in-law Police Chief Elon Hawthorne (Malachi Malik).

BTG Spoilers Tuesday, April 7th: Smitty Goes Against The Plan

On Tuesday, April 7th, it’s season 2, episode 65 of Beyond the Gates, and Jacob is begging Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) to calm down and please don’t go against their plan. And Jacob tries to explain that he’s casting a wide net with this investigation because he wants to catch a whale.

He wants to get somebody who’s at the top of the food chain of this red market thing. And Smitty says, “Maybe you’ll catch an impaler.” I guess that’s just because it’s a blood thing. I don’t know if I’m missing something like a Vlad the Impaler, Dracula, blood, whatever.

Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) is there to advise Dani as she sorts through some insecurity issues. And this may be about her big splash back into modeling at a more mature age. And Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) keeps reassuring her as well. But sometimes the girl just needs her mom.

Anita Blasts Vernon & Dani on Beyond the Gates

However, something may be up because Anita tells Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis), “Stop right there,” gives him his full name and then tells him and Dani that they must think she’s Boo Boo the Fool. So, I don’t know what they’re trying to pull over, but it’s not going to work.

June (Jasmine Burke) upsets Samantha, who is disappointed with her birth mother, and things take a turn for the much worse when Eva Thomas Richardson (Ambyr Michelle) and Izaiah have lunch with his mom, Darlene, and Leslie decides to crash. Everything that woman touches turns to crap. She is so terrible.

We know that Darlene already thinks that Leslie is trash and she has a low opinion of Eva because of her mom. And I’m sure Leslie is going to be her usual not so charming self. Fortunately, Izaiah is smitten with Eva, but he may face pressure from his mom, Darlene, to dump her after Leslie acts up acting like herself. And you know, Eva is going to be furious with her mother.

Wednesday, April 8th BTG Spoilers: Tomas Resigns

Wednesday, April 8th on Beyond the Gates is season 2, episode 66. And Tomas Navarro (Alex Alegria) has decided he is not going to be pushed around by Bill. He’s basically bullying him because of Hayley Lawson‘s (Marquita Goings) BS. So, he makes a big move.

I think it’s 100% with Kat Richardson‘s (Colby Nixon) support. So, Tomas marches in and hands Bill his letter of resignation. Bill wants to know if it’s because of Hayley. And Tomas says, “Yeah, yeah.” And it is. I wonder if Bill is going to try and get him to stay. If he’s smart, he will.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Ted & Nicole Hash Things Out

Dr. Ted Richardson (KeithD. Robinson) and Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) talk about their love life and they are brutally honest. And I think Ted may advocate for Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley) over Dr. Kial Rollins (Greg Vaughan). We also know that Nicole likes Shanice Johnson (Ernestine Johnson).

So, there’s going to be no pressure from her because anybody’s better than looney Leslie. Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) needs advice from Dani and I’m sure it’s about Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) and the double date from hell with Carlton and Nicole. We already saw Dani hearing from Nicole that she’s worried Vanessa dating Joey is going to impact their friendship.

And Lynette Wise (Dominique Madison) ups her blackmail game with Hayley just as Bill’s pressing Hayley to cut Lynette off financially. The big Fenmore deal is a topic of strife between Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Kat as they argue about it. Chelsea is so excited to get their purses on the shelves of Fenmores, but maybe Kat has a different take on this.

Thursday, April 9th: Samantha Snaps at June on BTG

Thursday, April 9th is season 2, episode 67 of Beyond the Gates. And we’ve got Jacob pushing Grayson Perez (Jordi Vilasuso) for more info on the higher-ups. And when he doesn’t give it up, Jacob is frustrated. We know that Grayson is lying right in his face because Leah is right up there at the top of the food chain of the red market ring.

But of course, Grayson’s terrified and he can’t afford to lose the money he needs to support his sick mom. Darlene comforts Naomi. So, this may be when she talks about her being terrified he won’t come back. So, I do also wonder if Jacob sent a message back with Izaiah that Darlene needs to stop making things harder on his wife.

Smitty engages in some criminality this week. So, looks like he’s going to go rogue just as Jacob feared, and it could put his family at risk. Donnell McBride (Alex Cheeks) tells Samantha and his parents that some dude has been following him. Smitty and Donnell are peeking out the window, and Smitty freaks out because he knows what he’s into. And he calls the cops.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Izaiah & Eva Hit a Rough Patch

Eva and Izaiah’s relationship hits a stumbling block. I’m sure it’s about Leslie. And Lord knows Izaiah has been so patient where Leslie is concerned. But after she tangled with his mom, Darlene, we could have Izaiah questioning whether he could live like this forever because Leslie’s going to be there as long as Eva is in his life.

Elon wants Marcel Malone (Daryll W. Handy) to check in with an old friend. This may be the mysterious Sheila we’ve never seen that Marcel is talking about this week. Marcel tells Leslie that Sheila is the only woman that doesn’t drive him nuts. And Leslie says, “Present company excluded.” And then Marcel is smirking and says that Leslie drives him crazy.

Samantha snaps at June and stuns Donnell with the way she’s talking to their mom. Samantha rants and is telling June to stop thinking about herself and to just be there for her kids. Donnell’s jaw drops as Samantha tells June, “Is that too much to ask?” So, cannot wait to see what Samantha is all bunched up about.

Friday, April 10th: Madison Gets Sued on BTG

Friday, April 10th on Beyond the Gates, it’s season 2, episode 68, and we’ve got Bill working with Naomi when Chelsea’s fiancé Dr. Madison Montgomery (Kenjah) is sued and the doctor is freaking out. So, I wonder if this is something to do with her clinical trial or a past patient, something like that. Doctors get sued all the time.

Vanessa and Nicole get into it. Things get heated because Vanessa’s not going to give up on Joey and he’s not going to stop being Joey, you know, and Nicole doesn’t like the veiled threats about her family. I do kind of get where Joey’s coming from in a way. He’s not good enough for Vanessa, according to them.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: The Duprees Have Skeletons in the Closet

And Carlton was smacking him when the Duprees have leaned on Joey more than once to clean up their messes. What he was saying to Nicole is true. He knows where the bodies are buried because Joey buried them for them. And he’s not the trash guy.

He’s a human. Now, he’s a criminal, but you know. Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) is grilled by Joey. He knows that Randy’s in deep into something with Lynette and Hayley. And if Bill is pressuring Joey, he may turn it around on Randy. But then Joey finds himself grilled when Deanna McBride (Angela Fairley) is pushing on him.

I think she wants to know when exactly he and her mom, Vanessa, started seeing each other, because Deanna’s pretty sure it started before her dad died. Jacob is thrilled with a new lead in the red market plasma case by the end of the week.

A search for a missing American woman is underway in the Bahamas, where her husband reported she fell off a small boat and was swept away by “strong currents,” police said.

The man, who is also from the United States, said that his wife disappeared after they took an 8-foot, “hard-bottom” dinghy from Hope Town to Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands the evening of Saturday, April 4, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force.

“During the journey, his wife reportedly fell overboard with the boat keys, causing the vessel’s engine to shut off,” police said in a news release shared on Sunday, April 5.

The man told police that currents swept his wife away until he could no longer see her, according to authorities.

The final interview of Hulk Hogan’s life is shown in the dramatic trailer for a documentary series about his very public highs and lows.

The trailer for Hulk Hogan: Real American, which premieres on Netflix Wednesday, April 22, opens with the late pro wrestling legend walking with the use of a cane. 

“In wrestling, you should be remembered from all the wars you’ve been in and everything you’ve done,” says Hogan, who died in July 2025 at the age of 71. 

He continues, “Some people hate me. But after I’m gone, I think people don’t know the truth. Who was this guy, really?”

Related: Why Hulk Hogan Was So Controversial Before His Death at 71

Hulk Hogan was undoubtedly crucial to WWE’s stratospheric popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, but he was also a hugely controversial figure on screen and off. Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea) — who died at age 71 in July 2025 — publicly apologized in 2015 after leaked sex tape footage caught him using a […]

Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) is shown exercising through obvious pain in the trailer, wincing as he rises to his feet after using a weight machine. 

“That’s the hardest part, standing up,” he says. 

Hogan died after suffering a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, Florida, on July 24, 2025. 

The trailer shows home movies from Hulk’s days as a young parent. He and his ex-wife Linda Hogan share daughter Brooke, 37, and son Nick, 35. 

“Life was so clear. Where did that life go?” Hulk asks. “The mistakes shown through.”

Hulk seems to acknowledge his role in the family dysfunction, admitting, “I was running pretty hard partying. Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was high. I don’t know what to tell you.”

The WWE Hall of Famer hints that candidness won’t be an issue during the series. 

“You really want me to tell the truth? I know where all the bodies are buried,” he says. 

Hulk peels back the curtain on his wrestling career, drawing a clear line between the man outside the ring and the larger-than-life persona inside of it. 

“Terry Bollea was just a human being,” he says. “But when I went in that ring, brother, I was Hulk Hogan.”

Hulk continues, “The character helps people, that’s all I know. I can’t predict what the final act of the story’s gonna be. But the legend of Hulk Hogan will live forever.”

Linda, 66, also appears in the trailer and argues the lines between Terry and Hulk got blurred along the way. 

“The character was so strong,” she says. “Terry got lost along the trip.”

Mark Consuelos is mourning the loss of his father, Saul Consuelos. The “Live with Kelly and Mark” co-host revealed the heartbreaking news during the Monday, April 6 episode of the talk show, sharing that his father “passed away peacefully” on March 23 following a long illness.

Kelly Ripa Says Family Is ‘Heartbroken’ As Kids Experience First Major Loss

Standing beside him, wife and co-host Kelly Ripa became visibly emotional as she honored her father-in-law. “I can honestly say I will miss him every day for the rest of my life,” she said. “He really is so symbolic of everything you are.”

Ripa also opened up about how deeply the loss has impacted the couple’s three children, Michael Consuelos, Lola Consuelos, and Joaquin Consuelos, noting this marks their first experience with such grief. “This is the first loss they’ve ever experienced in their lives,” she said, reflecting on how meaningful it was that they had the chance to grow up with their grandfather.

“You got to have deep, meaningful conversations [with them],” she added, emphasizing the special bond they shared.

Mark Consuelos Reflects On Lessons Learned From His Father

As he remembered his dad, Consuelos shared how Saul’s hands-on parenting style shaped him into the man he is today. “If you asked him what time it was, he would tell you how to build a watch,” he joked.

“There were a lot of lectures… and I learned so much,” Consuelos continued, explaining how his father would make him watch and participate in fixing things around the house.

“I learned the most by just watching him,” he said, adding that those lessons still serve him today.

Saul Consuelos’ Inspiring Journey From Mexico To U.S. Military Service

Consuelos also reflected on his father’s remarkable life story, from immigrating to the United States as a teenager to serving his country for decades. “He came here from Mexico in his early teens,” he said. “He served his country for 30 years… ended up at Special Operations Command in Tampa.”

Saul went on to pursue higher education while raising his family, earning his master’s degree, and continuing to learn throughout his life. “If you’re going to put a face to an immigrant, he would be the prime example of what this country promises people,” Consuelos added.

Kelly Ripa Honors Father-In-Law As Family’s ‘Living Legacy’

Ripa also shared just how involved Saul was in their family life, often stepping in to help raise their children while Consuelos worked. “He was very involved,” she said, recalling how he frequently attended school events and even traveled with the family to support them.

At times, his presence was so constant that people assumed he was her husband. “They were like, ‘Is this your new husband?’” She joked. “And I was like, ‘No, that was my father-in-law.’”

She went on to call Consuelos and his siblings their father’s “living legacy.”

Mark Consuelos Says Broadway Role Helped Him Through Grief

The “Riverdale” alum revealed he was able to say goodbye to his father while rehearsing for his Broadway play Fallen Angels, describing the experience as a “welcomed distraction.”

“I knew I had to keep on going,” he said. “And I know he’s there watching.”

Kelly Ripa Shares Emotional Final Message

Closing out the tribute, Ripa delivered a heartfelt message to both her husband and his late father.

“You’re the strongest person I know. You continually inspire me every day,” she told Consuelos. “All of the good things that I love about you, I loved those same things about your dad. So I just want to say thank you… for everything you gave to us.”

As the Mark Consuelos family navigates life after Saul’s passing, their focus has now shifted to supporting his mother, Camilla Consuelos. “We gotta take care of mom,” Mark shared, revealing they’re hoping to convince her to relocate closer to them in New York. “We’re trying to convince my mom to move to New York… she’s such a character, she’s stubborn.”

Never missing a chance to lighten the mood, Kelly Ripa joked about putting Camilla in front of the camera. “Yeah! Cooking with Camilla! Put her to work!” Ripa teased. “Enough of this life of leisure!”

At least 19 people were injured during the Lao New Year Parade in Louisiana after a driver plowed into a crowd — and he has since been taken into custody after it was determined he’d been driving under the influence.

Louisiana State Police arrested Todd Landry after he was accused of slamming into a cluster of people who’d gathered for the parade.

The incident took place on Saturday, April 4, around 2:30 p.m. Police rushed to the scene in response to reports of an incident “involving a vehicle that struck multiple pedestrians” at the corner of Savannakhet and Melancon Road in New Iberia, according to news releases from the Louisiana State Police (LSP) and Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office (IPSO).

“Several individuals sustained injuries, some of which are believed to be serious,” the IPSO added.

IPSO confirmed that 19 people were evaluated and treated at nearby hospitals for injuries following the crash, according to KATC.

Seven patients were admitted to the hospital and three patients remained in ICU as of the evening of Sunday, April 5, per the outlet.

IPSO also said that the act did not seem to be intentional, though authorities confirmed that Landry, 57, had been drinking at the time of the crash.

Landry reportedly took a breath test, which revealed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.137. In Louisiana, the legal blood alcohol content limit for drivers is 0.08%.

He was then arrested and booked into the Iberia Parish jail for driving while impaired, 18 counts of first-degree negligent injuring, careless operation and open container.

It is not currently clear if Landry has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following his arrest. The IPSO did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment regarding the case.

News 15 obtained footage of the incident, which showed several people lying on the ground after they were struck by the vehicle. Meanwhile, others were seen helping those who were injured.

“We were all walking in the parade, listening to music, getting sprayed with water, having fun, and I noticed a guy get into his car, [and]he starts revving his engine and he inches closer to the parade,” witness Eli Anderson told KHOU 11 following the crash. “I just simply thought that he was coming to join the parade … and he inches closer and closer, revs his engine again and just plows through everybody.”

The organizers of the Louisiana Lao New Year Parade took to Facebook to issue a statement about the incident.

“We are profoundly saddened by the news of the incident near the festival grounds. We are awaiting additional details from authorities as they become available,” the statement read. “All security resources have been redirected to the scene, and we currently do not have security personnel available due to the circumstances … We are praying for the victims and for their families during this difficult time.”

Following her emotional split from Braxton Berrios, and the headlines that followed linking her to Tom Brady, Alix Earle is opening up about a late-night decision she now regrets. While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on March 4 to promote her skincare line, Reale Actives, the 25-year-old influencer was asked to share the last bad idea she had. Her answer came without hesitation.

Alix Earle Laughs Off 5 A.M. Text To Ex

“Oh, my gosh. Probably texting my ex at, like, five in the morning after going out,” Earle said with a laugh. “Not the best idea.”

Host Drew Barrymore quickly reassured her, calling the moment “so human.”

Earle went on to describe the moment in more detail, explaining that the text came after a night out and a few drinks. “I was looking with one eye at the phone,” she said, recalling the scene.

In an unexpected twist, her sister stepped in, not to stop her, but to help. “If you’re gonna send this, at least send it with it all spelled correctly,” her sister told her, helping proofread the message before she hit send.

At the time, Earle admitted she felt confident in the decision, even as she waited for her mac and cheese to heat up in the microwave. “I’m like, ‘This is so great,’” she joked.

Earle Says She Felt ‘Terrible’ After Texting Ex

That confidence didn’t last long. When Barrymore asked how she felt after sending the message, Earle’s response was immediate: “Oh, terrible.”

As for whether anything came of the text, the answer was just as blunt. “We haven’t talked since,” she revealed.

Earle did not specify which ex she was referring to.

Alix Earle Reflects On Split From Braxton Berrios

The candid admission comes just months after Earle’s breakup with Berrios. The two began seeing each other in the spring of 2023, though their early relationship was surrounded by cheating rumors.

Their relationship later faced new challenges when Earle relocated to Los Angeles to compete on “Dancing With the Stars,” with rehearsals beginning in August 2025. The distance ultimately contributed to a shift in their dynamic.

On December 13, Earle confirmed their split in a tearful TikTok video, making it clear there was no wrongdoing on either side. “It just kind of feels like we’re on two different paths right now, and it sucks,” she said at the time, later adding, “It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong.”

Earle Sparks Romance Rumors With Tom Brady

Shortly after the breakup, Earle found herself at the center of a new wave of speculation, this time involving Brady. The two first sparked romance rumors while celebrating New Year’s together in St. Barts. They were later spotted at the same high-profile event once again, attending the preview weekend party for Zero Bond at the Wynn in Las Vegas.

While Alix Earle has been linked to Tom Brady in recent months, she appeared to downplay any romance rumors during a high-profile red carpet appearance.

Earle attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at LACMA on March 15, turning heads in a red-beaded gown that highlighted her toned figure. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, she hinted that she’s currently single, and not tied to anyone in particular.

When asked who she hoped to snap a selfie with at the star-studded event, Earle kept things casual. “Honestly, no one,” she said. “I’m just like, maybe I’ll get someone’s number or something? I could meet someone.”

Alix Earle Says Seeing Ex Again Was ‘Really Hard’

Earle has remained open with her followers about the emotional aftermath of her split. In a TikTok shared in late February, she revealed that she saw her ex in person for the first time since October during a weekend in Aspen.

Both attended events tied to the Palm Tree Music Festival, including a pre-party hosted by SipMARGS. “It was honestly just really hard for me, really weird, really hard,” she said.

The pair initially avoided each other, though they later spoke briefly at a second event. Still, the interaction underscored how much had changed. “It’s weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room,” she explained. “So that was tough. And by tough, I mean terrible.”

It looks like GloRilla’s viral moment with her dad and boyfriend Brandon Ingram really ruffled some feathers for Victoria Woods. After speaking on her father’s alleged living situation, she clapped back at critics questioning why she didn’t step in to pay his light bill in place of Glo.

Victoria Woods Responds To Critics

On Monday (April 6), Victoria Woods hopped back online to respond to comments questioning her for being shady instead of simply paying her father’s light bill. Some have even pointed out her newfound spotlight. Standing ten toes down, she made it clear she still feels a way after he appeared to side with GloRilla during a previous live.

“The f*** I look like paying this n**** light bill when he got online and lied on me to try to justify what y’all know was going on? Y’all ain’t hear him on live lying on me? I had to come with receipts and prove everything.”

Victoria continued to speak on her relationship with her parents, sharing how she feels they should have handled the feud between her and her sister differently. She said things could have been different if they had told the truth from the start. In another post, seemingly shading her sister GloRilla, she added:

“And I’m not giving him sh** the difference is I’m honest about it. Folks done dogged me plenty of times. When she wasn’t fw him, he was on my line and I was giving it to him facts. But you wanna threaten to call the police on me when I came to check on my brother? F*** him. My brother was in the hospital and he told the nurse not to let me in.”

Victoria Claims Her Father Is Keeping Her From Her Brother Amid Ongoing Family Tension

While continuing to address critics, Victoria made it clear she’s unbothered by negative comments. However, that’s not going to stop her from clearing the air, especially when it comes to her relationship with her brother. She went on to allege that her father is causing a divide when it comes to her trying to help her brother. She stated:

“My brother is autistic. He has diabetes. And this man telling my brother not to call me, not to text me.I can’t see my brother. My brother, he’s autistic. You don’t even take care of my brother. So yeah, I feel some type of way about that.”

Being that she’s also diabetic, she explained she wanted to go check on her brother. “I’m a diabetic. I try to go check on my brother. I can’t even see my mothef***ing brother because of my b**** a*** daddy.”

Continuing to call him out for taking sides with her sister, she spoke on his alleged  finances.“You pick your other daughter side. Y’all know what I’m talking about. He picked her side over mine.

I don’t know what’s going on with the finances. But he ain’t having no money.”
