Klay Thompson’s IG In Shambles Over Megan’s Allegations
Megan Thee Stallion‘s loyal fanbase, The Hotties, isn’t letting Klay Thompson rest, as they’ve swarmed his Instagram account in the wake of his messy split from the three-time Grammy winner. According to The Blast, Megan revealed that the pair had gone their separate ways in late April 2026 after nearly a year together.
Megan ignited a firestorm online after accusing the former Golden State Warriors star of cheating on her Instagram Stories.
“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet,’” she wrote. “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season, now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous????’”
She added, “B-tch, I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall.”
The “Girls in the Hood” rapper’s post instantly went viral, sparking a wave of support across social media. Thompson is facing a much harsher reality, as the backlash likely has him regretting his alleged actions.
Klay Thompson’s Instagram Is Being Swarmed By The Hotties After Megan Thee Stallion’s Accusations
Thompson’s most recent Instagram picture is a photo of the Dallas Mavericks guard playing against the Los Angeles Lakers. “Peagus City,” he captioned the carousel of flicks.
Overnight, the comment section became a hotspot for Megan’s global fanbase, many of whom have hurled lethal insults and relentless criticism at the NBA star.
One user shared a GIF that read, “I curse the day you were born,” while a second user wrote, “Hey, we here to jump you.”
A third user chimed in and said, “She the only reason we knew your name,” and a fourth asked, “You think you better than the program???”
Another user appeared to wish ill on the NBA champion, writing, “In 2 weeks’ time you will begin to feel a sharp pain in your chest.”
Megan Thee Stallion Releases A Transparent Statement After Her Public Separation From Klay Thompson
Following her Instagram Stories post, Megan shared more details about her split from Thompson in a statement.
“Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity,” she said, according to The Blast.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Megan and Klay first turned heads in the summer of 2025, after social media sleuths spotted them together in the Bahamas.
Shortly after, the pair became red-carpet official, popping out together at public events, while Megan often appeared courtside throughout the 2025-2026 NBA season.
Previously, the superstar said that her relationship with the 6’5″ athlete began after she began working on her mental well-being.
“I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me,” she said, per The Blast. “I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself, maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right.”
Megan Appeared In An Fanatics Ad After Hard Launching Relationship With Thompson
Prior to their split, Fanatics Sportsbook teamed up with Megan to promote the company’s one-of-a-kind features, including FanCash and their FairPlay policy. In the ad, according to The Blast, Megan appeared alongside an orchestra that played a snippet of her Hot 100 chart-topper, “Savage.”
“Megan Thee Stallion embodies the heartbeat of fandom where music, fashion, and sport collide and brings an energy that turns basketball season into a full-blown cultural moment. She’s the perfect partner to show how Fanatics Sportsbook makes winning hit different,” said Selena Kalvaria, Chief Marketing Officer at Fanatics Betting and Gaming.

While promoting her latest film, Meryl Streep became emotional during an interview when a journalist presented her with a gift related to one of her most iconic roles. The moment prompted a heartfelt reaction from the veteran actress, who was left in shock and awe.
Veteran actress Meryl Streep, alongside co-star Stanley Tucci, appeared on the French news show to promote their latest movie, “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Toward the end of the segment, the host, Laurent Delahousse, redirected the conversation to Streep’s 1982 film, “Sophie’s Choice,” and handed her a tablet.
“I even told my mother that she was my favorite mother, because Meryl Streep was always nice to me and playing with me,” a woman in the video said. Streep’s reaction showed the moment she realized who the woman was: Jennifer Lejeune, who portrayed her daughter in “Sophie’s Choice.”
“I think if she wasn’t able to build that bond with me, there’s no way we would have ever had that kind of reaction on set,” Lejeune continued. Streep angled the tablet toward Tucci to show him the clip.
The Actress Was Shocked To See Her Former Co-Star
Streep, who was visibly emotional, asked Delahousse, “That’s the child?” The journalist confirmed that it was, indeed, Lejeune. “Oh my god, that’s amazing,” the 76-year-old actress exclaimed before asking where they found her. Delahousse said that her former co-star now resided in Paris.
Streep, still recovering from her shock, said, “Well, that’s amazing. That’s very beautiful. Thank you for giving me that. What a gift. Journalists never give me gifts!”
Lejeune was just 4 years old when she portrayed Streep’s daughter in “Sophie’s Choice.” The movie, directed by the late Alan J. Pakula, was based on a novel of the same name written by William Styron. The psychological drama focused on Zofia “Sophie” Zawistowski, a Polish immigrant in post-World War II America who is haunted by a traumatic and devastating decision she was forced to make during the Holocaust.
Meryl Streep And Jennifer Lejeune Formed A Bond While Filming
In an interview included on the “Sophie’s Choice” Blu-ray released in 2014, Lejeune recalled auditioning for the role and being asked to kick Streep. “They asked me to kind of kick Meryl at the final interview, and I gave her a good whacking on the shin,” she said.
Lejeune said she formed a bond with the actress, revealing that Streep would often spend a couple of hours with her and her on-screen brother to build rapport. “It was just playing together – sometimes in the hotel, sometimes just around town in the playground – and getting to know each other so I trusted her. I felt safe with her,” she shared.
“I apparently told my real mother that Meryl Streep is a nicer mother than she is. That didn’t go over really well with my real mom,” said Lejeune.
Meryl Streep Refused To Watch One Specific Scene
One of the most emotionally gripping scenes from the movie is when Sophie is forced by a Nazi officer to make a devastating decision: choosing which of her two children will live, knowing that if she refuses, both will be killed.
Streep revealed that she wasn’t acting the moment Lejeune was taken from her. “It was just what happened in the moment,” she said. Lejeune also said her screams were real, as she felt fear at that moment, despite the filmmakers explaining to her what was happening. “I had such a bond with Meryl, so I think I got into the emotional part of it,” she explained.
Years later, Streep shared that she refused to watch the scene because the emotions were too real and shooting it left her completely drained. Moreover, she was a mother herself, and having to revisit that moment was difficult. In 2002, Streep was on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and the scene was played. She then revealed that it was her first time watching that scene.
‘Sophie’s Choice’ Earned Meryl Streep Her First Best Actress Academy Award
Streep’s portrayal of Sophie earned her rave reviews, with notable film critic Roger Ebert praising the actress’ range. “There is hardly an emotion that Streep doesn’t touch in this movie, and yet we’re never aware of her straining. This is one of the most astonishing and yet one of the most unaffected and natural performances I can imagine,” he wrote.
Streep won Best Actress In A Leading Role for “Sophie’s Choice” at the 55th Academy Awards in 1983.
Anyone who experienced even a couple of episodes of Peter Capaldi‘s stint as the titular Time Lord in Doctor Who could tell you how great an actor he is. Capaldi took a sci-fi series that is fundamentally family-friendly about traveling through time and space and sprinkled it with the veteran instincts of an experienced performer, becoming many people’s favorite actor to take on the role in its over 60-year history. You need only watch the episode “Heaven Sent,” which features Capaldi almost entirely on his own, monologuing his way through grief, to see his genius at work.
With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that any project starring the great actor could return a stunning critical and audience reception. This is exactly what happened with the first season of Apple TV’s British thriller, Criminal Record. Created by Paul Rutman, eight episodes of this twisting drama landed on the streamer back in early 2024, scoring a 95% rating from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Earlier this week, Cush Jumbo‘s Detective Sergeant June Lenker and Capaldi’s Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty returned to the series in a long-awaited Season 2, as Episode 1, “Is It Him?” premiered on Apple TV. Directed by Ben A. Williams and penned by Rutman, the episode saw Jumbo and Capaldi return and not miss a beat, as another hunt for justice begins. But what are critics saying about Season 2? Quite remarkably, this second season has already outperformed the near-perfect Season 1. On Rotten Tomatoes, Criminal Record Season 2 boasts a perfect 100% score.
What Have Critics Said About ‘Criminal Record’ Season 2?
With its perfect 100% score, albeit from just five reviews thus far, Criminal Record is earning gushing praise from a variety of sites. For The Guardian, Sarah Dempster praised the show’s “relatively straightforward and beautifully paced storytelling,” adding, “its narrative twists emerging like handkerchiefs from a sleeve.” Digital Spy’s Lacy Baugher was similarly positive, praising “a darker and more ambitious outing” than Season 1. This thought was shared by Fandom Wire’s Richard Valero, who wrote, “If you were a fan of Criminal Record season 1, you are in for an absolute treat with an even better second season.”
Criminal Record is available to stream on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

President Donald Trump slammed a 60 Minutes anchor who quoted part of a manifesto written by the alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman.
During an interview with CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell for 60 Minutes, which aired on Sunday, April 26, Trump, 79, strongly opposed a passage that criticized him. “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” O’Donnell, 52, quoted from the manifesto to Trump.
Trump acknowledged earlier on Sunday in an interview with Fox News that an alleged “manifesto” was written by the suspected shooter and sent to the suspect’s family prior to the incident.
Taking the quoted manifesto passage as a reference to his relationship with the late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Trump began, “Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump said. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”
Conservative commentator Candace Owens clapped back after President Donald Trump insulted her in his latest social media rant. Trump, 79, took a shot at Owens, 36, and other former allies while reacting to a CNN poll comparing his favorable approval rating among Republicans to conservative critics such as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. “Tucker is […]
O’Donnell then asked, “Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” which drew further comment from Trump.
“Excuse me, excuse me, I’m not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with old stuff that has nothing to do with me,” Trump responded. “I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let’s say Epstein or other things, but I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview … but you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things.”
Despite O’Donnell’s attempts to clarify her stance, Trump concluded, “You shouldn’t be reading that on 60 Minutes, you’re a disgrace. You’re disgraceful,” before the interview moved on.
Epstein was convicted in 2008 on charges of soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor before he was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. He died in custody before trial. Trump’s documented relationship with the late financier has long been put under the microscope, but Trump has repeatedly denied knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity.
Alex Jones has reacted after President Donald Trump publicly criticized the radio host and other conservative figureheads. “Well, President Trump came out on Truth Social and attacked myself and all the original MAGA supporters today,” Jones, 52, said in a video shared via X on Thursday, April 9. “I’m just so sad that whatever’s happened […]
Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, April 25, after shots rang out across the Washington Hilton ballroom. A 31-year-old California man was apprehended outside the ballroom shortly after, later identified as Cole Tomas Allen, who had recently won a “teacher of the year” award and was armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives, according to authorities.
A Secret Service agent was shot during the incident and nobody else was harmed. The alleged gunman is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court on Monday, April 27.
During a press conference staged in the wake of the shooting, Trump told members of the press that he was “honored” to be a target of the shooting. “When you look at our great presidents, [this] doesn’t happen to people who don’t do anything,” Trump told reporters who gathered in the White House in the late hours of Saturday. “I hate to say I’m honored by that but we’ve done a lot.”
Earlier on Sunday, Trump commented on the nature of the alleged manifesto currently circulating within the media. “When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians, that’s one thing for sure,” Trump told Fox News. “It was a religious thing, it was strongly anti-Christian.”
Before Euphoria hosted the wedding of the year for Cassie and Nate, Hunter Schafer returned with a graphic nude scene — and another character revealed they were a virgin.
During the Sunday, April 26, episode of the hit HBO series, a flashback sequence showed Jules in art school before her roommate suggested she try going on dates with wealthy men for money. That turned into Jules dropping out of school because of how her lifestyle got funded — specifically by one client who became her only sugar daddy.
A specifically racy scene showed Jules stripping down before her client wrapped her up in cellophane. Elsewhere in the episode, Jules reunited with Cal (Eric Dane), where they reflected on their history. Cal updated Jules on what happened after his arrest, which included him taking a plea deal and having to register as a sex offender.
Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate’s (Jacob Elordi) wedding served as a reunion for many — but not Rue (Zendaya) who was called away for business. She took a call in the car from Fez (Angus Cloud) before stopping at Laurie’s house. Back at the wedding, Lexi (Maude Apatow) made a comment to Jules that revealed she’s a virgin.
Euphoria has become known for its graphic sex scenes — and the stars haven’t held back about stripping down on camera. “Every scene is like, ‘He sleeps with this person. He does this with this person naked,’” Jacob Elordi said about playing Nate Jacobs during a March 2022 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “On […]
Jules’ return to the show comes after Sweeney, 28, stripped down in a past episode. Cassie’s evolution into creating explicit content for subscribers featured her filming photo shoots that ranged from her topless while licking ice cream to a skin-tight shirt that had the design of the American flag to her pretending to be an adult baby.
“Cassie was exactly the kind of girl you would dream of signing. Beautiful — but directionless,” Rue said in a voiceover. “So desperate for attention that she was willing to humiliate herself.”
Before Euphoria returned for season 3 earlier this month, Sweeney spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about her evolving relationship with her body — and how it inspired her lingerie brand, Syrn.
“I grew up with boobs. I was wearing a 32DD in sixth grade, and I never felt confident,” Sweeney told Us. “I never had anything I felt good in, and I just wanted to hide. It wasn’t until [I played] Cassie in Euphoria that I started realizing it’s actually powerful to be confident; our bodies are incredible. We should embrace [them] and feel really good in our skin.”
Sydney Sweeney has been candid about what goes into stripping down for nude scenes in Euphoria and other projects. After Euphoria premiered in 2019, Sweeney, who plays Cassie, opened up about the downsides of being naked on screen. “I don’t think as many people took me seriously in Euphoria because I took my shirt off,” […]
Sweeney recalled facing challenges with the line.
“I’d always be like, ‘Oh, this fit doesn’t work,’” she says. “‘I don’t have the support I want. The straps are digging into my shoulders or it’s kind of itchy and riding up,’” she explained. “I started a whole Pinterest board of thousands of photos of inspiration, and I [thought], ‘I should actually do this.’ And we put it together.”
She continued: “That’s kind of why I wanted to build all these different worlds,” she explains, “So [fans] could honestly choose what they wanted to be [at] the start of the day or the end of the day.”
Euphoria airs on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
Jessi Draper has made it very clear that she has officially moved on after filing for divorce from her ex, Jordan Ngatikaura, as the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star has fully embraced the dating scene.
However, moving on has not come without a host of online opinions, and Draper recently spoke about tuning out all the noise and criticism.
In an Instagram video on Saturday, April 25, Jessi Draper gave her fans a “life update” on dating and her healing journey after filing for divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.
“I know that you guys see a lot of headlines and videos and photos about my life, and something that I have learned from being on reality TV is that everyone has an opinion,” Draper said in the clip. “But healing after divorce is so interesting because everyone’s process is different.”
“I know a lot of people don’t understand that I’m dating and hanging out and just having fun,” the reality star continued. “And when you’re in a relationship where you don’t feel valued, and you don’t feel like you were treated well, it feels so nice to just talk to people who make you feel valued and treat you well.”
Draper Also Addressed The Criticism About Focusing On Motherhood Instead Of Dating
Many online have accused Draper of prioritizing dating over being an active parent.
“And I think one of the biggest comments I see is, ‘Go heal and focus on your children.’ And what I want to say to that is: Two things can be true,” she began.
“I have my kids 50 percent of the time now, so I am focusing on healing and spending time with them, but when I don’t have them, I’m also focusing on myself and reprioritizing being happy, honestly,” Draper added. “And it’s been really fun to just be happy and to be giddy and to just let loose and kind of see that men don’t have to be what I have experienced for so long.”
She also provided assurance that she has no plans to jump into another committed relationship anytime soon.
“I do plan on being single for a long time and just hanging out with different people and having fun and finding connections while also focusing on myself,” the JZ Styles founder said.
Draper Has Sparked Dating Rumors With Former Fling Marciano Brunette And Spotted Kissing ‘Mormon Wives’ Chase McWhorter
In March 2025, Deuxmoi shared a tip alleging that Draper and McWhorter, the ex-husband of “Mormon Wives” star Miranda Hope, were spotted kissing at a friend’s birthday party, but nothing was initially confirmed.
However, a short time later, Hope posted a photo of flowers and an apology note from Draper, indicating that the kissing rumor was indeed true.
“I completely understand you being upset with me,” the note read. “But wanted to send you a little something to let you know I’m thinking about you, and I am so, so sorry. -Jessi.”
Hope further addressed the rumors in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“What I never want to get misconstrued is that there is not any emotional attachment to Chase. He is my co-parent. Although I do feel disrespected by Chase, I feel slighted by my friend. Chase and I are no longer partners, and while I have high expectations of him as a co-parent, I also hold my friends to a high standard and believe in girl code,” she told the outlet.
Things with Brunette, however, appear to be more romantic. “Mormon Wives” fans know that Draper and the “Vanderpump Villa” star had an intimate encounter while she was still married, so they seemed to have resumed things.
There have been multiple posts across Instagram and TikTok of the two being out together, kissing, and cuddled up. Draper recently admitted that Brunette is part of her “roster” of men she is currently dating.
Production For ‘Mormon Wives’ Recently Resumed Following Taylor Frankie Paul Drama
After Paul avoided charges in her domestic violence case with ex Dakota Mortensen, news followed about the future of the show.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the “Mormon Wives” production team is letting Taylor Frankie Paul take the lead on when (and in what capacity) she wants to return to the show.
An inside source close to Paul also revealed to the outlet that production remains supportive of Paul and is ready to film with her at her own pace “if and when she is ready.”
Paul previously shut down claims from PEOPLE that the show would resume production without her, writing in the Instagram comments of the post, “Interesting, that’s not the call I got.”
Draper Previously Supported Paul Throughout Her Domestic Violence Investigation
In an interview on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast on March 25, “Mormon Wives” star Jessi Draper publicly addressed the domestic violence allegations and 2023 video release regarding Taylor Frankie Paul, and voiced her support.
“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 said. “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.”

Former NBA player Evan Turner seems to be taking sides after Megan Thee Stallion announced she had split from Klay Thompson amid infidelity claims.
“I’m sorry Klay Thompson, I wasn’t familiar with your game,” Turner wrote via X on Saturday, April 26.
Megan announced on Saturday that she and Thompson had called it quits after nearly one year of dating, accusing the four-time NBA champion of cheating on her multiple times during their relationship.
“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” the rap star told Us in a statement. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. “I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”
Megan Thee Stallion appeared extra emotional during her Saturday, April 25, Broadway performance of Moulin Rouge in the wake of her breakup from NBA star Klay Thompson. Megan, 31, received a thunderous standing ovation during her curtain call, in which she was spotted wiping away tears and at one point turning away from the crowd […]
Earlier in the day, Megan posted a scathing statement on her Instagram story.
“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house … got ‘cold feet,’” she wrote via her Instagram Stories without mentioning Klay by name. “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season. Now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous???’ Bitch, I need a real break after this one. Bye y’all.”
The rapper — who is currently starring in the Broadway show, Moulin Rouge! — called out of the show on Saturday afternoon, but returned to the stage for the evening performance and received raucous applause after the show. The moment brought Megan to tears on stage.
Influencer Hasan Piker also chimed in on the pair’s split, calling the breakup a “generational fumble” by Thompson.
“Are you f***ing serious?” Piker, 34, said in an Instagram video on Saturday, reacting to Megan’s social media statement that announced the news. “Klay Thompson, this was the best thing that has happened to you in your damn life, dude. How is that possible? That’s Megan Thee Stallion.”
Megan Thee Stallion and her NBA star boyfriend, Klay Thompson, have broken up amid accusations of infidelity. “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan, 31, tells Us Weekly in a Saturday, April 25, statement. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, […]
He continued, “This is more important. This is the one ring you should be paying attention to, not the motherf***ing NBA ring. That was the ring. How the f*** do you fumble Megan Thee Stallion, bro? That is crazy.”
Thompson has not publicly addressed the breakup or cheating claims. Us reached out to representatives for the NBA star for comment.
Megan and Thompson had been dating since July 2025 and made their red carpet debut at the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala. (Megan started the organization in 2022 to support women, children, seniors and underserved communities in Houston, Texas.)
“Megan is such a special person and she inspires so many around the world. I’ve seen it firsthand,” Klay exclusively told Us on the red carpet. “This is just another incredible feat of hers to be able to give back, create [a] foundation and raise a ton of money for those in need. I’m honored to be here by her side.”
Mentalist Oz Pearlman was performing for President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and press secretary Karoline Leavitt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, April 24, when he realized something was very wrong.
“I was performing right then for the president, the press secretary and the first lady,” the magician said during a Sunday, April 26, appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. “It [was] kind of a pivotal moment in the trick where you’re just about to do the reveal … and we hear commotion.”
The mentalist initially thought someone inside the ballroom was experiencing a medical emergency, until the gravity of the situation became palpable.
“I see everyone swarming one table,” Pearlman continued. “I didn’t hear any shots or see what looked like a shooter. I thought there was about to be a bomb. I really, very much thought, ‘Oh my god, it’s about to explode,’ because of the way it was being approached.”
President Donald Trump has said he is “honored” to be a target following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. “When you look at our great presidents, [this] doesn’t happen to people who don’t do anything,” Trump, 79, told reporters at the White House on Saturday, April 25. Multiple media outlets reported that a 30-year-old man […]
Shortly after the annual event meant to celebrate the first amendment began on Saturday, a gunman attempted to charge the ballroom. The 31-year-old shooter, armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives, was apprehended before he could enter. One Secret Service Agent was shot, but his ballistic vest protected him and he was later released from the hospital.
No one else was harmed during the incident.

The president, first lady and members of the Trump administration were all quickly evacuated from the building. The rest of the event was canceled.
“It was incredibly surreal,” Pearlman said on Sunday of the moment Secret Service agents tackled the president in an attempt to remove him from the premises. “I kind of get down on all fours facing left, stage left. They rush across to get POTUS and the president gets taken down by Secret Service — and we don’t know what’s going on — and he came down.”
He added, “You can look at the video — I don’t know the distance, but less than afoot from me — I’ll never forget the image for my whole life because I’m on all fours, turn like this, they bring the president down directly in front of me and we just look at each other for about two seconds.”
At that moment, Pearlman told CNN he thought his life was going to come to an end.
“And my mind — obviously this is a huge adrenaline — was just like, ‘Oh no, are we about to die?’ Because I thought it was about to explode,” Pearlman said. “I thought… that really was my instinct.”
The performer continued, “Then I heard what sounded like I thought were shots and at that point my mind shifted. I also wasn’t sure if [Trump] was hurt — they pick him up, kind of, and they go out and then we’re on all fours.”
At that point, Pearlman said he “army crawled” off the stage for fear that if he stood up he would be shot.
“We didn’t want to stand up because I didn’t want to get hit,” he explained.
On Sunday, acting attorney general Todd Blanche told multiple media outlets that the ongoing investigation has already revealed that the shooter — an engineer and part-time teacher — was targeting Trump and top Trump administration officials.
While speaking to Fox News, the president himself detailed an alleged manifesto written by the suspected shooter.
Erika Kirk was in attendance as shots broke out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. CNN reported that Kirk, 37, was seen crying as the chaos unfolded at the Washington Hilton in Washington D.C. on Saturday, April 25. CNN’s Sara Sidner said on air that she personally witnessed Kirk leaving the main ballroom, telling aides, […]
“When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians, that’s one thing for sure,” the president claimed on Sunday, going on to call the suspect a “sick guy.” (Us Weekly has not independently viewed the alleged manifesto to corroborate the president’s claims.)
White House sources told multiple media outlets, including NPR, NBC News and CNN, that Allen’s sister had been interviewed by Secret Service agents and members of the Montgomery County, Maryland, police, claiming her brother “had a tendency to make radical statements and his rhetoric constantly referenced a plan to do ‘something’ to fix the issues with today’s world.”
“Summer House” star Amanda Batula was in the hot seat at the recently filmed reunion, and during the sit-down gathering, revealed she used ChatGPT to write the joint statement she and West Wilson used to confirm their relationship.
Earlier this week, a leaked audio recording from the “Summer House” reunion, featuring Ciara Miller slamming Amanda Batula and Wilson over their secret relationship, went viral online. Cast members and Bravo employees, including Kyle Cooke and Andy Cohen, have condemned the release of the recording, calling it “disrespectful” and upsetting.
According to a TMZ report, Batula dealt with the wrath of her “Summer House” co-stars during the reunion, which was filmed in late April 2026.
Her Bravo peers reportedly had an issue with the joint statement she released with Wilson about their secretive relationship.
According to a source, Batula allegedly joked about their statement and admitted to using the popular AI system to pen the lengthy post.
Their statement, per The Blast, was shared in March 2026 and came after months of speculation.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they wrote on Instagram. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
Amanda Batula Slammed By Miller In Leaked ‘Summer House’ Reunion Audio
During the reunion, Batula was engaged in an explosive argument with her former friend, Miller. A leaked audio recording, in which Miller calls the “Summer House” OG a “snake,” went viral online.
Although the moment put an even bigger spotlight on the Bravo reality series, the network announced its disappointment over the situation and shared its plans to take action against the source of the leak.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process,” a network spokesperson said. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
Online, Cohen also reacted to the news, admitting he was bothered by betrayal. “On my way to eye surgery and just reading about it. People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and its disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this,” he said.
Amanda Batula’s Soon-To-Be Ex-Husband, Cooke, Breaks Silence On The Leak
Cooke also shared his opinion on the matter, suggesting the leaker “seek counsel” after learning Bravo’s intense feelings about the situation.
While he stressed the seriousness of the matter, Cooke appeared to defend his co-stars, including Batula, whom he split from in January 2026.
“This was not a phone on set. Everybody — if you do have a phone on set, it’s stuck behind a pillow or a couch cushion. So, the cameras can’t see it. I don’t really see why anyone would gain [from] having leaked this. That goes for producers, crew, and Bravo,” he said.
Cooke went on to explain that the leaker likely had access to a “live feed” behind the scenes.
“There’s only a couple different rooms with monitors. And, of course, then there’s the actual set. It kind of sounds like they were trying to be discreet because you can hear them fumbling their phone in the beginning and the end,” he added.
Miller Opened Up About Complicated Feelings In An Upcoming ‘Summer House’ Episode
For those who may be unfamiliar, Batula and Wilson’s relationship has been subject to criticism because of both of their previous relationships with Miller.
Batula and Miller had been friends since 2021, while Wilson and Miller dated in 2023. The pair addressed their split on the show, with Wilson admitting that he wasn’t ready to settle down.
Over the next two years, Wilson and Miller have had an awkward dynamic; however, they appear to clear the air during an upcoming episode, according to The Blast.
After a clearly moving conversation, Miller told her friend, Mia Calabrese, that she believed Wilson was “my person.”
“We have this really weird friendship, and it’s hard to ignore that, you know?” she said.
Speaking with producers, Miller added, “Everyone knows that I’m not the most warm and fuzzy person. I am warm. I might not be fuzzy, but I’m warm. I guess making up isn’t really my thing, but I’m trying to be less rigid, which is a theme of my summer, OK?”
Miller Gets Support From ‘Summer House’ Stars
According to another report from The Blast, former “Summer House” stars Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner broke their silence on the Batula/Wilson scandal, offering support for Miller.
“Obviously, we’re live. We see the internet, we know what’s going on,” DeSorbo said. Ciara is our real friend, in real life. So we have been talking to her, consoling her. We are behind her 100%. We would never capitalize or monetize off of our friend’s heartbreak.”
Jen Affleck has been an original cast member of Hulu’s hit reality series “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” since its September 2024 premiere.
However, after news broke that the show would be getting a spinoff, fans have been curious about who from the OG cast would be moving over to the Orange County franchise. Affleck has now seemingly provided a clear answer.
On Saturday, April 25, Jen Affleck took to Instagram to confirm what her fans have been waiting for.
She posted a video of herself along with the rest of the cast of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” with a caption that read, “Coming to @hulu in 2026!!”
Fans were confused when the cast announcement recently broke and Affleck was not included, and she also missed an appearance with the rest of the ladies. However, it appears that she is indeed leaving her Salt Lake City #MomTok group and heading to California.
Affleck Previously Shared Her Struggles As A Wife And Mom
“In the last two to three years, there’s been…so much has happened, between two babies, reality TV show, ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ moving, identity, faith, life crisis,” she said. “I’m very hopeful for this next chapter of my life.”
Affleck got visibly emotional, saying that she “hates crying on camera,” but “looking back at the last two years, there’s a lot of parts of me that I haven’t really recognized.”
’Mormon Wives’ Spinoff Recently Confirmed The Cast
“Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” will feature podcaster Bobbi Althoff, FishFam YouTuber Madison Bontempo, and social media personalities Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, and Salomé Andrea, according to an official press release.
Rounding out the cast are Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease, and McCall DaPron, the sister of OG cast member Mayci Neeley.
“A new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity,” the show’s description reads. “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”
“Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok,” the description continued.
The Spinoff Was Initially Rumored In February 2026
According to TMZ, back in February, sources close to the spinoff series revealed that a pilot episode had already been filmed and was currently being shopped to streaming services, including Hulu, in hopes of being greenlit for a full season.
Sources also told the outlet they were eyeing a March start date to film additional episodes, but that timeline rested on whether they would be picked up by a streamer.
The show’s pilot is based in Orange County, California, but if it gets picked up, it would likely expand to Los Angeles as well.
At the time, the cast of the spinoff had not been revealed, but production sources told TMZ that “a few familiar faces” would be part of the ensemble.
‘Mormon Wives’ Production Has Resumed
After filming for season five of “Mormon Wives” was put on pause due to star Taylor Frankie Paul’s domestic violence investigation, which ultimately resulted in no charges being filed against her, fans were unsure when production would resume.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, production has officially resumed now that Paul is in the clear, but production is letting her take the lead on when (and in what capacity) she wants to return to the show.
An inside source close to her also revealed to the outlet that production remains supportive of Paul and is ready to film with her at her own pace “if and when she is ready.”
Paul previously shut down claims from PEOPLE that the show would resume production without her, writing in the Instagram comments of the post, “Interesting, that’s not the call I got.”
