Jessi Draper is hurling serious accusations at her soon-to-be ex-husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, via a recent interview, indicating that the couple’s divorce will be a messy one.

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star dropped a series of bombshells regarding her marriage to Ngatikaura, the most serious of which is alleging that he emotionally abused her.

‘Mormon Wives’ Star Jessi Draper Dropped Bombshell Claim She Was Victim Of ‘Emotional Abuse’ By Ex Jordan Ngatikaura 

During her March 25 “Call Her Daddy” appearance, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Jessi Draper opened up about a variety of current issues with the show’s cast, but her most dramatic comments involve her soon-to-be ex-husband Jordan Ngatikaura.

In the interview, which comes a week after Ngatikaura filed for divorce on March 19, Draper recalled how a visit to an energy healer made her realize that during her marriage, she suffered “emotional abuse.”

“I told her everything, and it was the first time I said it out loud, and that was like, the moment also that I was like, ‘I have to leave him,’” she said. “She goes, ‘Jessi, this is emotional abuse,’ and … it didn’t click to me until in that moment.”

Draper also shared that when discussing her marital issues with those close to her, they previously determined that she was in an emotionally abusive relationship.

“They were like, ‘Jessi, this isn’t normal.’ It felt like the glass had shattered,” she recalled to podcast host Alex Cooper.

Draper Called Out Ngatikaura’s Motive For Filing For Divorce First Despite Her Previously Ending Their Relationship

The JZ Styles founder said that she and Ngatikaura discussed telling their children privately together, but he “blindsided” her by filing for divorce first, which she finds suspicious.

“He was definitely trying to get ahead of something, which is ironic ’cause I’m the one who ended it,” Draper revealed. “I told him on Friday the 13th, so not that long ago, and I just said I want a divorce. He definitely didn’t want it, and now he’s the one rushing to do it, which is a little strange.”

She also accused Ngatikaura of blackmail due to threatening to release information about her emotional affair with “Vanderpump Villa” star Marciano Brunette. The details of the affair were heavily documented in the third season of “Mormon Wives.”

“It got to a point where he was blackmailing me with Marciano texts, and he had them on a draft on his phone on TikTok, and anytime he was mad at me, he was like, ‘I’m going to post them. I’m going to ruin your life,’” Draper alleged.

Elsewhere in the sit-down interview, Draper said Ngatikaura was involved in his own cheating situations. 

“Do you want to talk about the escorts? Do you want to talk about the orgies? I’m ready to tell the whole story because I have nothing to hide,” she said.

Jessi Draper Also Spoke About The Domestic Violence Allegations Against Taylor Frankie Paul

“I don’t like to judge someone in their darkest moment. I don’t want to judge the person, I’ll judge the mistake,” Draper told Cooper. “Taylor really has made a lot of changes, and that’s what’s so hard for me. This is my real friend, and she does have a really good heart, and I love her so much.”

Draper noted that Paul has been dealing with a lot of pain behind the scenes, which she said is not necessarily indicative of who she is.

“Seeing that video is so hard, because there’s so much pain underneath the surface for Taylor,” she said during the interview, visibly holding back tears. “It’s not who Taylor is. She got caught in a really bad cycle.”

Jordan Ngatikaura Recently Filed A Restraining Order Against Jessi Draper, Which She Immediately Disputed

On March 20, one day after he filed for divorce, court documents show that Jordan Ngatikauara filed a temporary restraining order in connection with the divorce proceedings.

However, Jessi Draper immediately opposed it mere hours after it was submitted.

Per Page Six, on Wednesday, March 25, Ngatikaura’s temporary restraining order request was denied by a judge.

The Former Couple’s Marriage Was A Major Focus On The Current Season Of ‘Mormon Wives’

The timing of the divorce comes just after the release of Season 4 of “Mormon Wives,” which was released on March 12. 

In the latest season, viewers watched Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura trying to work through their marital issues, but it was clear that things were not going well.

The couple had several heated arguments on camera throughout the season, giving fans a front-row seat to the strain in their marriage. 

In one tense exchange, Draper Jessi told Ngatikaura that she decided to use her maiden name, a move Ngatikaura labeled as “selfish.” 

Members of #MomTok also shared their concern when they discovered Draper was repeatedly spending nights away from home, staying at a hotel when she and Ngatikaura would argue.

Towards the end of the season, Draper tearfully reveals her discovery that her prenuptial agreement may not hold up legally, after realizing it was never signed by a witness. She told #MomTok that because of the oversight, divorcing Ngatikaura could cost her “millions.”

Bold and the Beautiful early weekly spoilers for March 30th through April 3rd divulge Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) going way, way too far and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) forced to scramble.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then dive into what is ahead next week.

Wednesday, March 25th on Bold and the Beautiful: Taylor Sneaks Deacon Over

So, on Wednesday, March 25th, we’ve got Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) super excited. They are taking the kiddos, Hayes Finnegan (Bryan Garlick) and Kelly Spencer (Sophia Paras McKinlay), for a night away as a family.

Of course, this leaves Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) with the house all to herself. And since Steffy won’t be around, Taylor’s going to sneak a boy over like a teenager. And of course, that boy is Deacon. And I’m curious to see if Taylor calls Deacon immediately and excitedly invites him over to get frisky.

RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) continue their dinner and lemon bars at the Forrester mansion as RJ keeps slowly making his move while listening to Electra gripe and yap and moan, blaming a poor homeless girl for ruining her privileged, wonderful life. Later, they’re going to change into bathing suits and RJ and Electra are all smiles while taking selfies together.

B&B Spoilers: Ivy Still Being a Creepy Creeper

And of course, Ivy didn’t leave like she said. She is lurking, watching, and grinning like some freakish serial killer and then is going to post a photo of Electra and RJ on social media. And of course, you know that Ivy’s doing this because Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) will inevitably see it and decide, okay, Electra is moving on from him, which leaves him no reason to not move on himself.

RJ is telling Electra how amazing she looks and she’s returning the compliment. They’re all smiles and despite her heartbreak, you know, looks like Ivy’s pressuring her is working. We’ll also see if Will taps the brakes with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) after she drops the L-bomb. I think he may, but after he sees this social media photo, maybe he’ll change his mind.

Thursday, March 26th: Hope Covers for Deacon on Bold

Thursday, March 26th, we’ve got Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) telling Liam Spencer that she’s really worried about Deacon’s marriage. She wants his marriage to Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) to end. This is not the happily ever after she wants for her dad. And Hope may come clean and tell Liam that Deacon is in love with Taylor, but Sheila’s an issue because she’s psycho.

And Steffy’s an issue because she knows Sheila’s psycho. I think Liam may get where Steffy’s coming from and agree that it’s dangerous. You know, Liam may advise Hope to just stay out of it. But of course, she won’t. And if Liam doesn’t side with her on this, Hope might not like it, especially if he’s aligning himself with Steffy’s opinion.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Deacon Lies to Sheila

Deacon spins a story to Sheila about going to have dinner with Hope, but it’s a lie. Deacon is really planning to be with Taylor over at Steffy’s place. And Hope is the best alibi because Sheila knows she’s not welcome at Hope’s house or at the Logan estate. So, Sheila can’t turn up there looking for him. She’d be kicked to the curb and they’d probably call the cops.

Deacon call Hope when Sheila’s back is turned and he has this hush hush phone call with Hope asking her to cover for him and is going to tell her that he told Sheila they’re going to have dinner. You know, he’s going to tell Hope, “I already told her.” And of course, Hope is assuming this is so Deacon can sneak out to see Taylor. And I’m sure Hope is happy to help, not only for her dad’s sake, but also to stick it to Steffy, because Hope’s pretty steamed about her attitude.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Li Returns for Sheila

Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) is back on screen and she’s up at Il Giardino talking with Sheila. And that’s when Li tells Sheila that Steffy, Finn, and the kids are going out of town, but Taylor is staying home. Now, I wonder about the order of events because if Deacon hears that, he may be the one to call Taylor and say, “Hey, I heard you were home alone.”

And either way, with Deacon then making plans to be away and Sheila looking intrigued at this info, you know, we could see her Spidey senses tingling about the timing of Deacon’s dinner with Hope and Taylor happening to be home alone.

Friday, March 27th: Taylor and Deacon Make Love on B&B

Then on Friday, March 27th, we’ve got Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) asking his sister Hope for advice. And this could be about career related stuff for Deke, of course, who has been hoping to get a shot at Logan, but he hasn’t heard from Katie Logan (Heather Tom). And this is after his Forrester Creations firing.

If so, Hope may tell him that Logan may not survive because of Eric Forrester (John McCook) stepping back in the war with her mom and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). Hopefully, Hope isn’t asking her about Remy Pryce?(Christian Weissman). I don’t want him to give the guy another shot. And hopefully Remy will stay away and Deke won’t even have to consider it on Bold and the Beautiful.

Liam and Hope get cozy with wine and kisses. Taylor and Deacon are finally going to make love on Friday. Hopefully, it is not ruined by Sheila barging in. You know, Deacon’s going to show up over there, creep in the back door where nobody can see him, and they are making out on the sofa, but then they head upstairs to the bedroom to get frisky.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Sneaks into Steffy’s?

So, presumably Sheila believes that Deacon is over at Hope’s and she shows up over at Steffy’s house to visit Taylor and she’s got flowers and Sheila’s knocking on Steffy’s door and calling out, “Is anybody home?” She’s looking in the side window by the front door. By this point, we should have Deacon getting Taylor half naked up on her bed.

They’re making out and he tells Taylor that nothing will keep them apart and they did try to stay away. And this is the same day we have a spoiler of Sheila decides to take action. So, is she going to sneak into Steffy’s house to see what’s going on? Maybe she intends to just leave the flowers, but then hears giggling, hears Deacon’s voice. We’ll see. I think we might get a pretty good cliffhanger on Friday.

Week of March 30th-April 3rd Spoilers on Bold and the Beautiful

Then, the week of March 30th through April 3rd, we’re going to have Will absolutely devastated and upset about the photos of Electra with RJ that were posted online. And it would be ironic since Electra and Ivy were yapping about Dylan parading her body around, flaunting herself in a bikini. When you saw Dylan’s suit, it was very modest.

And Electra’s in a modest suit, too. But to me, it’s an equivalency, but they won’t detect the hypocrisy there. I’m still waiting on Will to tell Electra he saw her kissing RJ. Their communication is awful. Meanwhile, Will’s going to get closer with Dylan, and maybe he won’t mind her saying she loves him.

You know, Will might need some love and reassurance because his heart has been ripped out. He thinks by Electra, but it’s really all by Ivy. You know, the lies about what she saw at the house. She just blew everything way out of proportion. The whole necklace and letter thing and now posting on social media after setting up this dinner. So, really, Ivy’s the one who’s breaking both Electra and Will’s hearts.

Sheila’s Incredibly Close to Learning the Truth on B&B

Sheila is getting dangerously close to the truth about Deacon and Taylor. We know an explosion is coming soon, maybe this week, but it would be smarter for Bold to save it for May sweeps, which kicks off on April 23rd. There is a chance that Sheila sees them and doesn’t say anything. You know, maybe she’s so devastated and in shock that she leaves.

Then, she goes to talk to Li and she doesn’t blow up on the spot. You know, she may quietly plot revenge, which is actually a little more terrifying. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Katie’s war intensifies. RJ gets closer to Electra trying to win her heart. And Taylor and Deacon are blissfully happy. But that bubble is about to burst.

There are a few strange James Franco movies out there, but this may be the strangest.

By Rick Gonzales
| Published 11 seconds ago

For most of her career, Zooey Deschanel built a brand on quirky, offbeat charm, not anything remotely edgy. That’s exactly why Your Highness stands out. It isn’t a sweet indie or a rom-com detour; it’s a deliberately crude, R-rated stoner fantasy packed with crude jokes, skin, and lowbrow humor. In the middle of all that, Deschanel ends up in what’s easily the most overtly raunchy role of her career, not because the movie is subtle about it, but because it isn’t.

Two Brothers Try To Stop The Birth Of A Dragon

Your Highness follows two royal brothers who couldn’t be more different. Fabious (James Franco) is the classic heroic prince, brave, noble, and next in line for the throne. Thadeous (Danny McBride) is the opposite: lazy, stoned, and completely uninterested in responsibility, content to drift through life with his equally useless companion Courtney.

After defeating the sorcerer Leezar (Justin Theroux), Fabious returns home with Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), a rescued maiden he plans to marry. The wedding doesn’t last long. Leezar crashes it, kidnaps her again, and reveals a plan so absurd it fits the movie perfectly: use her to create a dragon that will help him conquer the kingdom.

Forced into action, Thadeous is ordered by his father to join Fabious on a rescue mission or face exile. Along the way, the brothers uncover betrayal within their own ranks, survive a series of increasingly ridiculous threats, and are saved by Isabel (Natalie Portman), a warrior hunting Leezar for revenge.

When Fabious is captured, Thadeous is finally pushed into doing something heroic. The mission turns into a last-ditch assault on Leezar’s stronghold, with the fate of the kingdom resting on the one person least qualified to save it.

Your Highness Failed To Perform On Release

Your Highness was one of the last vestiges of the stoner comedy era, and in a sense, maybe its failure ended it. Released by Universal Pictures in April 2011, the R-rated comedy opened weakly and never recovered, finishing with about $21.6 million domestically and roughly $28 million worldwide against a reported $49 million budget. It was a clear financial miss, with limited audience turnout and poor word of mouth cutting off any chance of a rebound.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago-Sun Times summed up the movie’s problems by saying it’s a “juvenile excrescence that feels like the work of 11-year-old boys in love with dungeons, dragons, warrior women, pot, boobs, and four-letter words.”

James Franco, before his cancellation, joked, via Entertainment Weekly, about the movie during the Comedy Central James Franco Roast. “I agreed to do this roast because I wanted to do something I’ve never done before, something that has zero artistic value, something that nobody will remember three months from now, something that’s offensive, homophobic and stars horrifically untalented people and something that’s only a big deal to a handful of teenage stoners on Twitter. You might say, ‘James, didn’t you just describe Your Highness? I wouldn’t know, I didn’t see Your Highness.”

60 years ago, the BBC routinely erased and reused its 16mm reels to save money and space. This short-term solution has now created a chasm in early British television history and culture, as hundreds of hours of pioneering programming have been lost to time. One of the most significant casualties was Doctor Who, whose first six years produced 253 episodes spanning William Hartnell‘s tenure as the First Doctor, and Patrick Troughton, as the Second. With the original reels wiped, generations of fans and TV historians only have partial access to the earliest adventures of the Time Lord.

Over the decades, many of the 253 lost Doctor Who episodes have been recovered through campaigns and archival work by fans and organizations. Now, in the largest Doctor Who discovery since 2013, when nine lost episodes were found in Nigeria, BBC Archives and the Leicester-based charity Film Is Fabulous! have announced the recovery of two episodes long considered gone. These episodes are critical to understanding the foundation of Doctor Who and his now iconic antagonists, the Daleks. Their discovery provides an underexplored avenue for future archival efforts, reigniting the hunt for the remaining 95 lost episodes to complete the 26 unfinished stories.

What Happens in Doctor Who’s “The Daleks’ Masterplan”?

Image via BBC

The two newly-found episodes of Doctor Who, which have not been viewed publicly since their original airing in the 1960s, feature the first incarnation of the Doctor, played by William Hartnell, tackling a Dalek plan to take over the Earth. They are from the 12-part 1965 serial “The Daleks’ Masterplan” and are the episodes “The Nightmare Begins” and “Devil’s Planet,” which join the previously recovered “Day of Armageddon” to complete the first three installments of the Daleks’ first major story. Written by Dalek creator, Terry Nation and Dennis Spooner, the serial also starred Peter Purves as Stephen Taylor, who has criticized the BBC, including in Doctor Who Magazine, for their destructive policy: “I’m furious the BBC was so profligate and unthinking. They didn’t even archive the telecine copies. How stupid is that?”

The first newly recovered episode, “The Nightmare Begins,” originally broadcast in November 1965 as part of Season 3, sees the Doctor and Steven land on the jungle planet Kemble while searching for help for an injured companion. They unexpectedly discover a secret Dalek assembly, where they have allied with Mavic Chen, played by Kevin Stoney, the Guardian of the Solar System, to take over Earth. The Doctor and Steven secretly observe the gathering before being detected, ending the episode on a tense cliffhanger. The second episode, “Devil’s Planet,” aired two weeks later, follows the Doctor after he has stolen a critical component needed for the Daleks’ plan. He lands on the planet Desperus and he and his companions must navigate the chaos as the Daleks arrive in pursuit.

“The Daleks’ Masterplan” is a dark and gritty 12-part arc with more than half of its episodes still missing. Other key cast members include Nicholas Courtney in an early appearance as Brett Vyon, Jean Marsh as Sara Kingdom and Adrienne Hill as Katarina. Courtney would later become known for his recurring role as the Brigadier. The serial marks the fourth appearance of the Daleks and is notable for the first brutal deaths of female companions in the series.

‘Doctor Who’ Fans Should Watch This Forgotten 4-Season Sci-Fi Thriller That Still Feels Unsettling

This British series treated the future as administratively hostile.

Why Are There So Many Missing Doctor Who Episodes?

Broadcasts of Doctor Who were wiped under a BBC-wide policy in the 1960s and 70s due to the high cost of reels and lack of archiving priority and strategy. Even technical review copies, which were created from the original negatives to check quality and determine whether edits were required for overseas sales, were discarded. Unlike previous Doctor Who episodes which have been recovered from foreign broadcasters, “The Daleks’ Masterplan” had not been sold abroad because Australian and New Zealand censors deemed it too violent. So, combined with the shift to color, the black-and-white serial was considered commercially worthless.

Film is Fabulous! recovered the episodes from a ramshackle private collection. Justin Smith, chair of FIF, said to the BBC that, “A debt of gratitude was owed to the anonymous late collector, whose films largely focused on his love of trains and canals, including hundreds of home videos, which were donated to FIF after he died.”

Missing episodes of Doctor Who have been previously recovered in several waves, beginning in 1983 when 16mm prints of episodes 5 and 10 of “The Daleks’ Masterplan” were discovered at a church in Wandsworth, London. In 2004, the episode “Day of Armageddon” was returned by a former BBC engineer, having survived as another technical copy used for quality checks. A wider public effort followed in 2006 through a Blue Peter appeal encouraging fans to search private collections, contributing to further additions such as the 2011 recovery of episodes from “Galaxy 4” and “The Underwater Menace.” The most significant modern discovery came in 2013 in Jos, Nigeria, where nine missing episodes from Second Doctor stories were uncovered, marking the largest single recovery in decades. BBC Archives have now restored the two latest episodes to broadcast quality, and they will be released on BBC iPlayer at Easter 2026, with a special screening in London on the same day, April 4.

“The Daleks’ Masterplan” is pivotal for understanding the series’ original tone, scale, and characters — many of which have informed how the series has continued in its original run and current iteration from Russell T. Davies. With this new recovery, the first quarter of the largest Dalek story ever attempted is now available to fans, renewing hope that further missing episodes may be unexpectedly found in the UK rather than abroad. The complete history of Doctor Who may finally be preserved, and the BBC will be finally redeemed for their biggest archival mistake.

Kim Kardashian has come under scrutiny over her parenting after posting a photo of her son, Saint.

The image of the 11-year-old sparked concern online as he performed a stunt with his electric bike, prompting fans of the reality TV star to call her out for seemingly encouraging him to engage in dangerous activities.

Meanwhile, rumors continue to swirl about Kim Kardashian’s romantic connection with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

Fans Worry As Kim Kardashian Posts Image Of Son Saint Doing A Wheelie On His E-Bike

Kardashian faced online backlash after sharing a photo of her son, Saint, performing a stunt on his electric bike.

The 11-year-old, one of Kim and ex-husband Kanye West’s children, was pictured popping a wheelie while holding onto the handlebars.

While Kardashian appeared impressed with her son’s skills, even captioning the photo, “BIKER BOY SAINT,” many fans criticized the risky maneuver.

“Omg lol that is dangerous,” one wrote, while another added sarcastically, “That looks really safe—in the middle of the road.”

A third person warned, “Don’t allow that for that boy, it’s dangerous. He’s going to hurt himself,” while another stated, “Kimberly, you need to get him a knee pad.”

Amid the criticism, some fans pointed out that at least Saint was wearing a helmet, while one commenter cheered him on: “On behalf of the biker community, we see you and are proud of you, Saint! Keep going.”

In a TikTok shared with fans, she revealed she had asked her friend Stephanie Shepherd if her right shoe “should be tighter” just moments before the fall.

On Monday, March 16, the 45-year-old star posted an Instagram carousel showing off the gold look for, including clips and photos from her glam prep.

That same day, both shared faceless clips of the scenery on social media with matching backgrounds. Earlier sightings include a hotel in Paris in February, which sources described to People Magazine as “a romantic meetup” aboard a private jet.

They were also seen together at Super Bowl LX on February 8 in Santa Clara, California.

According to a source who spoke with the publication, Hamilton makes the SKIMS founder “feel safe, and she genuinely enjoys spending time with him.”

The insider added, “There’s a comfort level there because they’ve known each other for years. Kim’s gone on dates and met people over the years, but Lewis is the first guy she’s really into in a long time. She always liked him. She’s excited about their romantic connection.” The source added that Kardashian is “taking things moment by moment and seeing where it goes.”

The Business Mogul’s Daughter Is Set To Launch Her Own Fashion Brand, NOR11

Meanwhile, Kardashian and West’s 12-year-old daughter, North West, is preparing to launch her own fashion brand. Last month, Kardashian’s lawyers filed three trademark applications on her behalf with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The brand, called “NOR11,” according to a report, references both North’s nickname and her age when she first developed the line.

The filings cover multiple categories: clothing and accessories like dresses, socks, shoes, and hats; watches and jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings; and bags, from backpacks to purses and wallets.

Kim Kardashian Is The Only Parent Involved In Her North’s Budding Business

Although the brand hasn’t been officially announced, North has been seen wearing “NOR11” hats in photos and videos on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.

The applications were submitted through KimYe’s Kid Inc., incorporated in California in 2023. Previously, the company filed trademarks for North, then nine years old, related to a skincare and toy line.

While the corporation bears both of North’s parents’ names, state records show only Kardashian is officially involved in her daughter’s budding fashion venture.

Chrisean Rock has entered a new era, focusing on God, her son, and her career. However, as she tries to change her life, it looks like legal issues may be creeping back in. The situation sparked concern online, but Chrisean is clearing the air and sharing her side.

Chrisean Rock Denies License Issues Amid Warrant Reports

On Wednesday, reports surfaced online that Chrisean Rock had been issued a bench warrant. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the warrant was issued after she missed a February court hearing tied to a traffic case. Prosecutors say Chrisean was charged on January 26 with two misdemeanors for driving on a suspended license in Hermosa Beach, California, in December 2025.

She was due in court on February 26 but allegedly didn’t show, leading the judge to issue the warrant. There have been no updates in the court system, suggesting the warrant may still be active. Chrisean Rock later took to her Instagram Story to clear the air. She denied having issues with her license and said she plans to handle everything soon.

The reality star wrote, “My license is not suspended. It’s currently restricted for travel to and from work. Also, the court date has been rescheduled. I have looked more into the situation and it will be easily resolved. When I was in LA, I didn’t have my ID to resolve it. I just received my current ID. It’s only a $270 fee to get it unrestricted. The fight is still on April 25th. Thanks for y’all concerns. Traffic court will be handled ASAP.”

Social Media Weighs In

Social media users gathered under The Shade Room to react to the latest Chrisean report. Some defended her, saying every time she tries to change, something goes left. Others shared words of encouragement. Meanwhile, some said maturity comes with responsibility. They questioned how she attended interviews but missed her court date.

Instagram user wrote @melanin_monroe_93 wrote, “I feel like every time she attempts to go on a good path something happens”.

Instagram user @perry_africana added, “leave my girlie alone.. she just tryna hustle for her and baby chrisean jr”

While Instagram user @eliteyellowleo wrote, “She denied it the last time she was arrested also.”

Instagram user wrote @blackteaqueensz wrote, “So you had time for an interview in Miami, but not enough time to appear in court? traffic ticket or not priorities backwards”

Instagram user @jaypOrt3r added, “Part of being a adult is handling your shi, betore it even gets to that point. You have a baby, your not the big baby nomore. Old ssa almost 27.”

While Instagram user @my11aa wrote, “I thought we left her in 2025”

Instagram user @jayedabratt wrote, “That’s what suspended is 😭 they put a hold on it till you pay fees. Same thing happened to me” 

Instagram user @dessy.slayyy added, “Lol yall would hate me my license was suspended before l even got the chance to get it”

While Instagram user @reelwizerealize wrote, “It’s a traffic ticket y’all treat this girl so inhumane. It’s impossible for people not to make mistakes especially those of us who have no help or good examples that preceded us.”

What Has Chrisean Rock Been Up To Lately?

While Chrisean Rock addressed the warrant reports, she has also been focused on her personal growth and daily life. When she’s not on the net or doing interviews, Chrisean  has been putting in work at the gym. Recently she,s been preparing for her upcoming XRumble appearance. She is set to compete in the platform’s first ever female Super Middleweight Championship fight.

Outside the ring, Chrisean has been spending time in what she calls her “happy place”. On February 22, she shared church footage and spoke on how worship helps her reset. 

The reality star wrote, “Worship is where I reset. Where I lay everything down. Where I remember who I am and whose I am. Serving at church, it’s where my heart feels most alive. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God. Psalm 84:10. Serving in worship will forever be my happy place.”

Through it all her baby boy remains by her side. In March, Chrisean shared moments with her son, Chrisean Jesus. She called him her “heart” and “everything.”

She wrote, “My son, my heart, my everything. I’m just grateful to grow with you. I promise to never give up. I will keep going, we got this. Everything is already written. He has given me a new song to sing. A hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Amen. Psalms 40:3 NLT.” She also shared a clip of him giving her kisses.”

Young Sherlock had all the ingredients to be Prime Video’s next big hit. It presented a fresh take on Sherlock Holmes, showcasing Hero Fiennes Tiffin‘s detective and his friendship with his future enemy, James Moriarty (Dónal Finn). It was co-created by Guy Ritchie, who’d previously worked on a pair of Sherlock Holmes films starring Robert Downey Jr. Young Sherlock also topped the streamer’s Top 10 TV shows list in its first week of release, showcasing plenty of promise. However, it’s in fierce competition with another Prime Video hit, as Invincible just returned with its fourth season.

At the time of writing, Invincible currently sits at the #3 spot on Prime Video’s Top 10 TV shows, while Young Sherlock has made it back to #1, according to FlixPatrol. Still, this shows that fans are still hooked on the adventures of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) and are willing to tune in whenever a new season drops. It’s not just superhero fans who love Invincible, though. Each season has received sky-high scores on Rotten Tomatoes; Season 4 currently boasts a perfect score of 100%. This shows that Invincible isn’t just the flavor of the month, but a crown jewel in Prime Video’s library.

‘Invincible’ Has Become A Smash Success for Prime Video

Image via Prime Video

Invincible made waves when it premiered five years ago, since it was unlike any other superhero show. In the same spirit as the original comics by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, it beautifully subverts the tropes viewers have come to expect from superhero media while also delivering buckets of bloody violence. Kirkman, who serves as co-showrunner alongside Simon Racioppa, has also referred to Invincible as a “second draft” of the comics — meaning that some characters receive a much-needed update while the story often shifts thanks to being in a new medium. Case in point: this week’s episode, “Hurm,” is based on a story that Kirkman never got to in the comics.

Invincible has taken one of the best parts of its source material to heart, building a long-running storyline over four seasons. From the very first episode, Mark Grayson’s father, Nolan (J.K. Simmons), was revealed to be an agent of the tyrannical Viltrumite Empire, which had designs on conquering Earth. Each season has also brought Mark into conflict with a different Viltrumite, and now Season 4 is set to adapt the iconic “Viltrumite War” from the comics, which pits him against the Viltrumites’ Grand Regent Thragg (Lee Pace). In an age where streaming shows are canceled before they can reach their full potential, Invincible is rewarding its audience’s investment.

‘Invincible’ and ‘Young Sherlock’ Show That Prime Video’s Best Shows are Genre-Focused

Invincible and Young Sherlock‘s domination of the streaming charts continues a trend of Prime Video’s biggest shows being genre fare, using a combination of star power and concept to hook viewers. Other shows that have benefited from this approach include Fallout, The Legend of Vox Machina, and The Boys, which often top Prime Video charts whenever they drop new seasons. While Prime Video often drops splashy Comic-Con panels and timed activations to promote their series, word of mouth and a built-in audience are often responsible for their chart-topping success, proving that consistency is a streamer’s secret weapon in the TV landscape.

Invincible also has time on its side. When asked how long it would take for the series to fully adapt the events of the comic, Robert Kirkman told Polygon that he’s willing to go as long as it takes:

“I’m trying not to pin it down to a number, because it is somewhat of a moving target. I think in the seven-to-eight-season range seems like it would be enough. But there could be some things we move through a little faster, some things we expand. If we’re fortunate enough to go for a good long time, I think that would be enough to cover the entire comic.”

Such a number is unheard of in the current streaming landscape, but it speaks to how Invincible has earned enough trust among fans and critics to sustain a healthy run. Young Sherlock and other shows in the streaming space should look to it as an example.

Following many unofficial set images and leaks, we finally got our first official glimpse at the new HBO adaptation of all seven of the Harry Potter novels this week. Showcasing Dominic McLaughlin‘s titular Boy Who Lived in his Quidditch robes, clutching his Nimbus 2000 and about to enter the pitch, the image oozes quality and is a far cry from the cozy vibes of the first movie. On first impressions alone, fans are particularly impressed, illustrated by social media’s ability to leave the overwhelming controversy alone for a short while following the image’s release.

As a huge risk for HBO, given the vast amounts of funding they are pouring into this series, these early impressions are vital in helping dust off the nostalgia and encouraging millions of fans to look forward to a more thorough Harry Potter adaptation. Of course, the Wizard World brand is still as popular as it was in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and HBO will be hoping to capitalize on this popularity. This is something HBO Max exec Sarah Aubrey discussed ina recent interview ahead of the brand-new trailer, as she admitted the streamer “made such a big commitment to this show,” adding that it was a “financial investment we normally wouldn’t make.”

“It’s just very special working on something that means that much. There’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also very, very special,” Aubrey added, before delivering a tantalizing endorsement of the series. “The world that has been created is absolutely extraordinary,” she confirmed, adding, “The journey with these incredible books continues and I’m so excited for all of you to see it and be a part of it.”

John Schneider‘s ex-wife, Elvira Castle, has filed a new court document claiming he owes her millions in spousal support following their divorce in 2019.

The former couple has previously been involved in a legal standoff that resulted in the actor sleeping in jail for not paying her spousal support.

John Schneider previously opened up about dealing with love and grief, revealing that he writes a “daily letter to heaven” to his late partner, Alice Allain.

John Schneider’s Ex-Wife Claims He Owes Her $2.3 Million In Spousal Support

It seems like the last hasn’t been heard on the enduring legal battle between “Dukes of Hazzard” star John Schneider and his second ex-wife, Elvira “Elly” Castle.

In new court filings obtained by TMZ, she claims he hasn’t paid her spousal support for some years now, and the debt has amounted to a whopping $2.3 million.

She added that the mountain of debt includes more than $900k in accrued interest, and she’s not willing to let go.

Schneider and Castle got married in 1993 and stayed together until 2014, when she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

The Actor’s Ex-Wife Wants Her Spousal Support Paid With His SAG Pension And Social Security

Schneider and his former wife, Castle, reached a settlement in August 2019 when he was ordered to pay her around $25,000 per month in spousal support.

Now, Castle appears bent on recovering every dime as she has reportedly asked the court to give her some amount of money out of Schneider’s Screen Actors Guild pension.

Schnieder’s ex-wife has also asked for a cut of his Social Security if the actor can’t pay the alleged debt.

The former couple shares a biological daughter, Karis, as well as daughters Mandy and Leah, and son Chasen, whom Castle had from a previous relationship.

He tied the knot with his first wife, Tawny Little, in 1983, but they split in 1986.

John Schneider Previously Did Jail Time For His Issues With Elvira Castle

This isn’t Schneider’s first run-in with the court regarding his divorce settlement with Castle. Back in 2020, she accused him of failing to pay spousal support that amounted to a million dollars.

At the time, she noted that he made $172,000 per month and didn’t expect him to pay the amount in full, but asked that she be given a portion of his payroll from “30 different studios and production companies.”

According to TMZ, Schneider was sentenced to three days in Los Angeles County jail in 2018 for failing to pay over $150,000 in alimony to her.

However, he was released after a few hours due to jail overcrowding. In addition to jail time, he was also ordered to complete 240 hours of community service and complete a long list of financial obligations.

The Actor Opened Up About The Death Of His Ex-Partner, Alice Allain

Amid his legal battle with Castle, Schneider remarried his long-time girlfriend, Alicia Allain, in a private 2019 ceremony. However, it wasn’t legal at the time, as he was still mixed up in his issue with Castle.

Allain unfortunately died from breast cancer at age 53 in February 2023, leaving the actor shattered in pain.

Reflecting on the love they once shared, he said he felt grateful that he got to do it with her while also revealing several plans they’d hoped to see come to fruition.

“I miss every damn thing, every day,” he said, per People Magazine. “I have to get to the point where I look around and see where she is, not where she’s not. And I’m trying to do that, but that’s hard. Somehow I love her more every minute, but with that, somehow I miss her more every minute.”

At the time, the “Smallville” actor shared that they decided to get married “after her diagnosis, not before,” which seemingly spoke to how inseparable and in love they were.

“The TTB, the Team to Beat, was like, ‘Hell no, cancer. You’re not splitting this up. We’re going to make it harder for you,’” he added.

John Schneider Is Currently Married To Dee Dee Sorvino

Meanwhile, Schneider has since found love again after marrying his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, following the death of Allain.

Back in 2024, he spoke about meeting someone new during an episode of “Grace Begins: The Podcast.”

At the time, Schneider told hosts Cathy Cardenas and Catherine Sutherland that he wasn’t looking for a new relationship after Allain’s death and honestly “didn’t want it,” but things seemingly changed.

“God sent a widower to a widow and a widow to a widower who [gets] it, who understands,” he said. “Because I tell you what, I was ready to give it up, all of it—everything.”

“Then just when I thought the very notion of dating or holding another hand was repulsive, I met this one, that crazy dame over there,” he added, pointing to her on the show, but she wasn’t shown or named.

“I was done,” Schneider said about his emotional state before meeting her. “And if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have been here, there’s not a chance in the world.”

Reginae Reflects On The Wayne & Solange Era

While chatting with Toie Ashanti on the ‘Heir Time’ podcast, Reginae Carter got candid about growing up around her dad’s relationships, admitting she actually had a soft spot for several of the women he dated, including Nivea—who she loved so much she begged to attend her birthday party and even dressed like her—as well as Trina and Solange, making it clear her memories were rooted in admiration and positive vibes rather than anything messy.

During the conversation, Reginae can be heard saying: “I was telling my friend the other day… how like I used to love Nivea,” she shared. “I begged for Niv to come to my party. Like I used to dress like Nivea for my party.” From there, she brought up Trina and Solange Knowles, adding, “Girl, I love Nivea. I love Trina. I love Solange… Yeah. He had a few. I love everybody.“

Fans Lose It Over Solange Mention

Folks wasted no time running to Reginae’s podcast Instagram comment section and ran it UP. Reactions came from every direction, with some joking that Wayne’s roster is just as legendary as his discography. While others questioned if everyone was talking about the same Solange. And, a few added that it actually makes sense when you look back at it.

One Instagram user @lilmama said, “Solange is somewhere gaging right now 😩”

And, Instagram user @lexiisaysit added, “Solangeeeeee? Reginaeeee were you supposed to tell us that😂”

Finally, Instagram user @lifeasjasmine__ commented, “The fact we’re ALL stunned about Solange !!!😂”

Wait, What Does Bow Wow Have To Do With This?

Now, Roommates, y’all might be wondering—what does Bow Wow have to do with all this? Well, Reginae’s comments come years after Bow Wow had the internet in a chokehold back in 2020 when he hopped on Clubhouse and casually claimed that “everyone knows” Lil Wayne and Solange Knowles used to date, instantly sparking debate online. However, neither Wayne nor Solange has ever confirmed those rumors, with Solange previously maintaining that their relationship was simply a close friendship despite years of speculation.
