Lee Child Officially Confirms Why Alan Ritchson Was the Right Jack Reacher Replacement [Exclusive]
Sometimes a casting brief doesn’t need to be particularly complicated. When the time came to find a new Jack Reacher for Prime Video’s Reacher, Lee Child and the team behind the series had already learned one fairly important lesson from the character’s previous trip to the screen. This time, nobody was going to wonder whether the actor was big enough. That previous incarnation was, of course, Tom Cruise, who played Reacher in two movies beginning with Jack Reacher in 2012. Child has plenty of praise for what Cruise brought to the character internally, but the author’s books famously describe Reacher as a physically enormous man.
When the franchise was eventually rebooted for television, Child told Collider, during an exclusive conversation ahead of his next Reacher novel, that the experience led to an exceptionally blunt casting philosophy. As he explained:
“Having learned the lesson of the Tom Cruise debacle, we thought, ‘We are going to find the biggest motherf*cker you’ve ever seen.’ Partly because that would be true to the character, and partly it would shut people up.”
Enter Alan Ritchson. Child believes the move from movies to streaming television made finding a more physically accurate Reacher considerably easier. A feature film carrying a huge budget often needs an established movie star capable of helping justify that investment. With a streaming series, Child argues, the platform itself provides the financial foundation, giving the production considerably more freedom when choosing its lead.
Why Was Alan Ritchson Cast as Jack Reacher?
The physical difference between Cruise and Ritchson was impossible to miss, and that was very much the point. Prime Video didn’t want audiences spending another adaptation debating whether Jack Reacher looked like Jack Reacher. Ritchson could walk into a room and answer that question before saying a word. Child went on to explain:
“With a feature film, the actor attracts the money. What actor is worth a $200 million investment? Whereas with television, the platform pays it, and you can have anybody. You can have total unknowns. The star on television doesn’t really attract either the audience or the money, and so we had a completely free hand for casting.”
Reacher is streaming on Prime Video. Lee Child was speaking exclusively to Collider in support of Chain Reaction, the latest Jack Reacher novel, which arrives October 20. Child will also co-write Zero Margin, the first Frances Neagley novel, with Yasmin Angoe, arriving in spring 2027. Sign up for a free trial of Audible to listen to the Reacher novels and more.

Nevaeh Akira Reacts After Blueface Told Her She Has 3 Days To Leave His House After ‘Baddies USA’ Decision
On Thursday, September 24, Zeus Network revealed its official lineup for ‘Baddies USA: Chapter 3.’ Fans were surprised to see both Nevaeh Akira and Jaidyn Alexis listed among the cast under the “Blueface Girls” category.
Shortly after the announcement, Nevaeh revealed that she would not be joining the show, explaining that she wasn’t in the right mindset to participate. She opened up about dealing with court matters involving her son, Superior, while adjusting to life as a new mom to her and Blueface’s son.
However, it appeared Blueface wasn’t happy with Nevaeh’s decision. While on livestream, the rapper expressed his frustrations with Nevaeh, calling her “dumb” for not taking the opportunity and “scary” for not wanting to fight Jaidyn Alexis. He then took things a step further, telling Nevaeh she has three days to leave his house.
Nevaeh Akira Says She’s “Fed Up” After Blueface Tells Her To Leave His House
Following Blueface’s comments, Nevaeh went live to address the situation, saying she’s officially fed up and plans to move out. She later shared several posts and Instagram Stories that appeared to respond to Blueface’s comments about her leaving his house. In one post, she wrote that she was “back to the shelter” and said she felt “very lucky.”
Nevaeh also spoke about choosing her son over a check, claiming she made half of what was offered in two weeks through livestreaming on Kick.

3 Underrated HBO Max Movies You Should Watch in September 2026
Tom Cruise is one of the most successful stars Hollywood’s ever produced, and with a resume that includes Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, and the multi-billion-dollar Mission: Impossible franchise, who can argue with that claim?
Not HBO Max, which is adding tons of new movies featuring the four-time Oscar nominee in September.
Watch With Us has been a fan of the actor since the 1982 sex comedy Losin’ It, and what better way to honor him than by spotlighting three underrated films that showcase his still-undervalued skills as an actor, star and cultural icon.
‘American Made’ (2017)

Barry Seal (Cruise) has a pretty sweet life. He’s a commercial airline pilot who works for the CIA by helping them spy on Central American countries. He also has a side hustle smuggling in drugs from cartels who think Seal’s CIA job will provide them with enough cover to penetrate the American market. They’re right, and Seal and the drug cartels rake in more cash than they know what to do with. But Seal’s reckless spending, plus a brother-in-law who blackmails him for more moola, gains the attention of the FBI, which doesn’t like one of its citizens breaking multiple domestic and international laws. Seal’s sweet life quickly turns bitter and, if he’s not careful, it could be over sooner than he’d like.
Based on a true story, American Made is a riveting crime drama that sees Cruise play a rare non-heroic role. Beneath his all-American looks, Bobby isn’t that great of a guy, and his desire for a better life puts his family in danger of being assassinated by drug kingpins or arrested by American authorities. But Cruise shows why everyone around Bobby is seduced by him: with his devil-may-care attitude and movie-star charisma, the Cocktail actor makes you buy Bobby’s outlandish plan to get rich quickly that eventually proves to be his undoing.
‘The Outsiders’ (1983)

Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, C. Thomas Howell, Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise in The Outsiders Everett
Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell) doesn’t have much in life, but he has just enough to get by. As a poor teenager in small-town Oklahoma, he belongs to the Greasers, a group of outsiders that includes his brothers Darry (Patrick Swayze) and Sodapop (Rob Lowe) and best friend Johnny (Ralph Macchio). When Ponyboy dares to start a romance with Cherry (Diane Lane), whose boyfriend belongs to a rival group, the affluent Socs, he unknowingly starts a turf war that will change his life — and those who he holds near and dear — forever.
Based on S.E. Hinton’s beloved 1967 young adult novel of the same name, The Outsiders was initially a victim of everyone’s high expectations. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who was still riding high from his ’70s masterpieces, and starring a cast full of then-newcomers, it wasn’t the outright classic everyone expected it to be. But time’s been kind to the flawed adaptation, with Howell, Lane and Macchio shining as players in a love story that’s doomed from the beginning. As fellow Greaser Steve Randle, Cruise stands out in a supporting role, playing a character whose bad-boy swagger intimidates his rivals and attracts girls from the right and wrong sides of the tracks.
‘The Firm’ (1993)

Young lawyer Mitch McDeere (Cruise) didn’t have much growing up, which is why he accepted the generous job offer from a little-known Memphis firm right after he graduated from Harvard Law School. How could he risk a six-figure salary, a house in the suburbs and a new car? When Mitch discovers the firm is a front for the mob, he soon regrets his decision. But no one leaves the firm, at least not alive, and if he cooperates with the FBI and testifies against his employers, he’ll lose his law license and will have a target on his back for the rest of his life.
Released in the summer of 1993, The Firm began Hollywood’s love affair with author John Grisham, whose bestselling legal thrillers have been adapted into various movies and TV shows over the last 23 years. The Firm remains the best of them, and that’s due to the sharp direction by old pro Sydney Pollack, a snappy, smart script by David Rabe, David Rayfiel and Robert Towne and an outstanding cast that includes (deep breath), Gene Hackman, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Gary Busey, Hal Holbrook, Wilford Brimley, David Strathairn and Holly Hunter, who earned an Oscar nomination for her spunky performance. It’s Cruise, though, who drives this film with an energy that’s both infectious and a little desperate. His Mitch is always one step ahead, but it takes work to outsmart both the feds and the mob, and Cruise isn’t afraid to show his character’s increasing desperation and eventual exhaustion.

Rebecca Ferguson’s Cult Sci-Fi Thriller Officially Hits Free Streaming
In the run-up to the release of this year’s The End of Oak Street, there were rumors that the movie could be connected to the Cloverfield franchise. It was, after all, produced by J.J. Abrams. Additionally, the premise seemed primed for an installment of the anthology series, which had been dormant for several years. Eventually, it turned out that The End of Oak Street, Cloverfieldian as it may have been, was its own thing. Something similar happened around a decade ago, during the heyday of the superhero genre, when a mysterious sci-fi movie distributed by Sony was believed to be a secret Spider-Man spin-off centered on the character Venom. The movie in question is now headed to free streaming, where audiences can appreciate it for what it really is — an underrated thrill-ride in the vein of Ridley Scott‘s Alien.
The movie in question was released in 2017, the same year as Scott’s Alien: Covenant. However, it was rumored to be a lead-in for Sony’s upcoming Venom film starring Tom Hardy, which was slated for release in 2018. The movie starred a stellar ensemble featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Hiroyuki Sanada, and others. It was directed by Daniel Espinosa, who had previously worked with Reynolds on the action thriller Safe House, and would go on to make the ill-fated superhero film Morbius, starring Jared Leto. Part of the reason it was mistaken for a Venom movie was because Espinosa had directed Hardy previously, in a movie titled Child 44.
Here’s When You Can Watch the Star-Studded ‘Alien’ Clone for Free
However, Espinosa’s 2017 sci-fi film had nothing to do with Venom after all. We’re talking, of course, about Life. Produced on a reported budget of $58 million, the movie grossed $100 million at the global box office. It now holds a 67% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Life is just thrilling, well-acted, and capably filmed enough to overcome an overall inability to add new wrinkles to the trapped-in-space genre.” The movie will be added to the Tubi library this October. Interestingly, before Sony took it on, the movie was set up at Paramount, the home of the Cloverfield series. Fans of the franchise will know that Paramount made its own Alien-inspired Cloverfield installment, The Cloverfield Paradox, which was then offloaded to Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Guy Ritchie’s “Pure Magic” 2-Part Mystery Series Remains a Global Streaming Smash
Guy Ritchie has had some smash hits and some massive misfires so far in 2026, but one of his most successful projects of the year has found unprecedented longevity on streaming. Ritchie returned to movie theaters for the first time in two years with In The Grey, which stars Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal. Despite their combined star power, In The Grey struggled to get off the ground at the box office, but the film has found redemption on Starz as one of the most-watched movies in the world right now. Ritchie is also back to dominating Paramount Plus thanks to the return of his crime thriller show, MobLand, which stars Tom Hardy. The show is already confirmed to return for Season 3 as well — a nice gift to fans and further reason to invest in Season 2.
While In The Grey may not have been as successful as Ritchie was hoping, he did find success with his first project of the year, Young Sherlock. Ritchie wrote and produced all eight episodes in the first season of the Prime Video original series, and despite all episodes being dropped as a binge back in March, the show spent weeks at the top of streaming charts. This prompted Amazon to announce that Young Sherlock had been renewed for Season 2, and with production on the second season kicking off earlier in the year, it’s all but assured that the show will return to streaming sometime in 2027. Before its return, Young Sherlock is once again gaining steam on Prime Video streaming charts, where it’s back in the top 10 in a handful of countries around the world.
What Is ‘Young Sherlock’ About?
Prime Video’s official synopsis for Young Sherlock, which holds marks of 84% from critics and 83% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “As a 19-year-old at Oxford University, Sherlock Holmes is not yet the master detective he grows up to be. He is raw and unfiltered, and he lacks discipline. A murder at Oxford puts Holmes’s freedom at risk, and he sets out to solve his first murder mystery that leads him to a global-level conspiracy.” Young Sherlock stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Sherlock Holmes, Donál Finn as James Moriarty, Natascha McElhone as Cordelian Holmes, and Max Irons as Mycroft Holmes.
Check out the first season of Young Sherlock on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 2.

‘AHS 13′ Branded ‘Insanely Bad’ After Bizarre Premiere Scene
“American Horror Story” may have assembled its most stacked cast ever for Season 13, but one scene from the premiere is already getting ripped apart online. The episode introduces a man terrified of the number 13, his Taylor Swift-obsessed girlfriend, and her 13 closest friends before sending them aboard a plane that appears to be going down. A clip of the sequence has been making the rounds on social media, where viewers have described the writing as “corny,” “weird,” and comparable to a “bad TV movie.”
‘AHS 13’ Introduces A Man Terrified Of The Number 13

Episode 1 introduces viewers to Ben, played by Joey Pollari, a well-mannered hospice worker living with triskaidekaphobia, which is the fear of the number 13. That condition immediately puts him at odds with his girlfriend, Kira, played by “Riverdale” alum Madelaine Petsch.
Kira is a devoted Swiftie whose love of the number 13 appears to dominate nearly every part of her personality. The reference connects her to Taylor Swift, who has frequently discussed the number’s significance throughout her life and career.
Despite his deep discomfort with the number, Ben reluctantly agrees to accompany Kira and her 13 best friends on a birthday trip built entirely around the very thing he fears. His decision quickly appears to backfire when their plane begins to experience serious trouble.
The setup seems designed to establish the season’s obsession with the number 13 while mixing horror with deliberately heightened humor. However, the combination did not land with everyone who encountered the scene online.
Viral Scene Leaves Viewers Asking If It Is ‘Real’
Once a clip of the plane sequence began circulating, social media users wasted no time tearing into it. “This season is so corny,” one viewer wrote. Another person appeared stunned that the scene had made it into the finished episode, asking, “someone pls tell me this is not real.”
The criticism only grew harsher from there. “This sucks lmao,” one reaction read, while somebody else declared, “Season sucks already.” Another viewer compared the scene to a lower-budget production, writing, “This is like a bad TV movie.”
Others were equally baffled by the episode’s tone. One person simply commented, “This is so weird,” while another slammed the creative choices as “Insanely bad at writing.”
Ryan Murphy Says The Season Is Bigger Than ‘Coven’

Before the premiere, speculation centered heavily on whether the new installment would revisit “Coven.” Photographs from the New York City set seemed to support that theory, especially since several fan-favorite performers returned to the franchise.
However, co-creator Ryan Murphy previously insisted that “Coven” represents only one part of a much bigger story. “Everybody thinks it’s a ‘Coven’ season and it’s not. It’s all the seasons,” Murphy told Entertainment Tonight.
The producer then revealed just how ambitious the crossover would be. “Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters… It is like the Avengers. They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
Jessica Lange And Other Fan Favorites Return

The Season 13 cast includes several of the franchise’s biggest names, including Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, and Sarah Paulson. Lange’s return is particularly significant because she stepped away from the anthology after “Freak Show” in 2014. She later reprised her “Murder House” character, Constance Langdon, for “Apocalypse” in 2018, but had repeatedly indicated that she did not intend to make another comeback.
According to Murphy, the Season 13 concept was strong enough to change her mind. “As soon as I pitched it to them, many of them had said ‘no’ over the years, they were like, ‘Well, OK, I’ve gotta come back for that’,” he explained.
Murphy recalled Lange having a similar reaction when she heard what he had planned. “But I pitched Jessica Lange, and she was like, ‘Oh sh-t, now I gotta do it,’” he said.
Ryan Murphy Spent Years Planning ‘13’

The show’s creator has made it clear that the number 13 is far more than a title. “It’s all of them in one season and it’s 13 episodes because it’s called ‘13’,” Murphy shared. “I spent many, many months and many years writing it. I wanted to do 13 in a special way.”
With Lange, Paulson, Peters, Roberts and Bassett involved, Season 13 still has plenty of star power waiting in the wings. The bigger question is whether the promised “Avengers” of the “American Horror Story” universe can overcome a premiere moment that some viewers have already labeled a major creative crash.

Sharon Osbourne ‘Incredibly’ Heartbroken Over Daughters’ Feud
Sharon Osbourne reportedly hoped Ozzy Osbourne‘s passing would help heal the rift between their daughters, Aimee and Kelly Osbourne. Instead, the sisters appear to remain as distant as ever.
Their strained relationship recently returned to the spotlight after Kelly publicly discussed her resentment towards her older sister.
Kelly Osbourne’s comments caught Aimee off guard, creating another difficult situation for Sharon as she continues to deal with the loss of her husband.
Sharon Osbourne Hoped Ozzy’s Death Would Finally End The Rift Between Her Daughters

Following Ozzy’s death in July 2025, Sharon believed the family’s grief might encourage Aimee and Kelly to put their differences behind them. However, a source told InTouch Weekly that she is now “begging her daughters to find a path to peace.”
The sisters came together publicly for their father’s funeral in Birmingham, England, but that reunion did not appear to resolve the tension between them. According to the insider, Sharon had hoped the difficult period would give her daughters a reason to reconsider their differences.
“Sharon was desperately hoping that things might be better with the kids after Ozzy’s death,” the source said, adding that she thought the loss could persuade them “to put their baggage to the side.”
That reconciliation has yet to happen. The insider described the situation as “incredibly heartbreaking for Sharon,” particularly because the mother of three loves all of her children and finds their inability to get along painful.
Kelly Osbourne Reveals The Painful Reason She Still Resents Her Older Sister, Aimee

Kelly offered a more personal explanation for the sisters’ estrangement during the September 15 episode of Paul C. Brunson’s “We Need to Talk” podcast. She claimed Aimee did not really acknowledge her or their brother, Jack, while they were growing up.
“She was just in her own world doing her own thing,” Kelly said, per People Magazine. She also emphasized how different they have always been, describing their personalities and relationship as “oil and water.”
For Kelly, however, the issue goes beyond having little in common. She admitted that she has struggled with feeling as though she missed out on the experience of having an older sister to guide her through life.
“I will tell you it’s one of the hardest things of my life, that I never got a big sister,” Kelly explained. She said she had to figure out certain things by herself that she believed an older sister should have helped her with.
The reality TV star added that, “I do have a resentment there. I’ll have that forever.”

Kelly’s public remarks apparently came as a surprise to Aimee. A source close to the sisters said the eldest Osbourne sibling was confused by what Kelly had said about their relationship.
“Aimee is bewildered,” the insider said, adding that she “is not taking this well.” The source also suggested that Aimee could choose to respond publicly, potentially making an already strained relationship even more difficult.
Such a development would be particularly upsetting for Sharon. Having already hoped that Ozzy’s passing might encourage her daughters to reconnect, she now faces the possibility of their disagreements becoming even more public.
“The last thing she needs is her girls going at it like this,” the source said, describing further escalation between the sisters as “horrendous” for their mother.
Kelly Osbourne Isn’t The Only Sibling With A Strained Relationship With Aimee

Kelly is not alone in having a distant relationship with Aimee. Before Ozzy’s passing, Jack Osbourne acknowledged that he and his eldest sister also had very little contact with each other.
“We’re not close at all,” Jack said during an appearance on the “Disrespectfully” podcast, according to People Magazine. He added that they “don’t have a great relationship” and said Aimee would readily acknowledge their lack of closeness as well.
Jack linked some of that distance to the different path Aimee chose during the family’s reality television years.
While he and Kelly became central figures on “The Osbournes,” he said Aimee wanted to build a music career without appearing to benefit from her family’s fame.
Aimee Osbourne Has Always Desired A Life Away From Her Famous Family

Aimee’s distance from her siblings also reflects a broader decision she made years ago to keep much of her life separate from the family’s public image.
When “The Osbournes” began filming, she declined to participate and moved out of the family home at just 16.
Sharon later explained that her eldest daughter strongly disliked the idea of growing up in front of cameras.
“She felt too that she didn’t want to grow up on camera,” Sharon said during a 2018 episode of “The Talk” show. “She hated the idea. It was appalling to her.”
Aimee herself has said privacy was something she valued even within such a famous household. She wanted the opportunity to develop her own identity rather than have her teenage years permanently defined by how the public saw her. The reality show, she explained, simply “didn’t really line up with what I saw my future as.”
That choice has remained consistent throughout her adult life. Although Aimee pursued music under the name ARO and occasionally stepped into the public eye, she largely avoided the reality-TV lifestyle embraced by other members of her family.

Chrisean Rock Threatens Legal Action Against Adam22, Blueface
Adam22 ruffled some feathers online following his latest sit-down interview with media personality Jason Lee. During their conversation, the two discussed Blueface’s relationships and how things have unfolded co-parenting-wise with Nevaeh Akira following his past with Chrisean Rock
Adam22 said he felt the situation had already reached a low point before making claims about Chrisean and her son.
“I really didn’t think it could get any worse than Chrisean having a baby that is obviously the product of fetal alcohol syndrome…I believe Chrisean should be in prison,” Adam said.
When Jason Lee asked why, Adam22 continued criticizing Chrisean while discussing her alleged behavior during pregnancy. He also called her “the lowest of the low scum of the earth when it comes to this culture.” His comments quickly sparked conversation online, with Chrisean eventually stepping in to shut down the claims.

Chrisean Rock Shuts Down Claims About Her Son & Calls Out Adam22 And Blueface
As Adam22’s comments about Chrisean Jesus allegedly having fetal alcohol syndrome made their way around the internet, Chrisean quickly responded. During her Kick stream, she shut down the claims surrounding her son’s health and development.
“My son is not diagnosed with FAS, chat. If my son was diagnosed with FAS, CPS would have took my kid and I would have been had to be on a CPS plan to get my kid back. The state of Maryland do not allow you to go home if you cause certain things to your kid. It is crazy because people are trying to say certain things, so I’ll be, like, forced to tell y’all my son’s business. Like, no, I don’t say anything about what’s actually happening to my kid because I don’t. I protect his business. Yeah, he’s not diagnosed with FAS,” she said.
She went on to express that she feels people have become too comfortable speaking about her son and his development. Chrisean added that she is waiting on God to have the final say regarding her baby boy. She also spoke about how well Chrisean Jesus’ developmental journey is going and her hopes for him moving forward.
Chrisean then sent Adam22 a direct message, saying she feels he has fallen off from where he once was.
“Adam22, people used to really love you back in the day. You fell off, brother. You didn’t fall back, you fell off,” she said.
She also called him desperate and said she prays for him because she feels he will say anything for money, clips, or views. Furthermore, the social media personality then turned her attention to Blueface, saying she feels the situation starts with him, as Chrisean Jesus’ father, mentioning possibly putting Blueface on child support or taking legal action over things she says he has done online involving her and their son.
“I don’t even care about what Adam22 say. They keep playing with my name, keep disrespecting my son. I’m gonna go to the source,” she said.
She said Blueface has contributed to the conversation surrounding her and their son by co-signing comments made about them online. Furthermore, Chrisean added that she had been minding her business, but feels there comes a point where certain situations have to stop.
“You keep smearing my name, and his father added to all of this, for real. Co-sign all these things that people are saying about me and my kids… I’d rather go to the source, and it’s his dad, for real. I ain’t start having CPS situations till he post my son on hernia,” she said.
Adam22 Clarifies His Comments About Chrisean Jesus As Terrine Malone Steps In To Defend Her Nephew
Adam22 later responded to the backlash surrounding his comments, addressing Chrisean’s supporters while continuing to criticize her.
“Hey, shout out to all the Chrisean Rock superfans out there defending this piece of sh**. I feel so free because I’ve spoken about what a piece of sh** this girl is so many times. I’ve been totally honest with the world about the fact that I think what she did to that baby is abhorrent, and I did say allegedly,” he said.
He then clarified that he could not personally confirm whether Chrisean Jesus has fetal alcohol syndrome.
“Does the baby actually have fetal alcohol syndrome? I don’t exactly know. All I’m saying is that I saw clips of Chrisean drinking and smoking and treating her body like a local pool hall throughout the duration of that baby’s incubation,” he added.
He claimed he previously saw clips of Chrisean drinking and smoking during her pregnancy, describing the alleged behavior as “disgusting.” Adam22 compared the situation to his wife’s pregnancy, explaining that she changed certain habits because she was concerned about their baby.
He then accused Chrisean of continuing to drink and smoke while pregnant, questioning why supporters criticized him for addressing the allegations. Adam22 also criticized people he believes defend Chrisean before inviting her to join him on stream and discuss things directly.
At that point, Chrisean’s sister, Terrine, entered the chat to defend her nephew against Adam22’s claims surrounding his health and development. She made it clear that Chrisean Jesus has developmental delays and pushed back on people connecting them directly to alcohol.
“Alcohol has nothing to do with it. Just like a parent that doesn’t drink and their child may have some developmental delay. Something mentally, or any type of disability. You can’t blame it on alcohol. You can’t blame it on drugs because that parent didn’t do it,” she said.
She also addressed the clips people claim they saw of Chrisean during her pregnancy while pointing out that Adam22 was not there.
“Y’all saying y’all see her doing it… Either way, medical, they said that’s about it. That’s about the case. He wasn’t there. He don’t know. He don’t go to the baby doctor’s appointments. He don’t know,” she added.
Terrine continued calling out Adam22, accusing him of using conversations about Chrisean and her nephew as clickbait. She said that she feels Blueface gave Adam22 the green light to speak on Chrisean so he would not face her backlash himself.
Chrisean Celebrates New Milestones In Her Son’s Therapy Journey
Amid all the chatter and opinions surrounding Chrisean’s baby boy’s development, she has continued to celebrate milestones throughout his journey. On Monday, Chrisean became emotional while watching Chrisean Jesus push through a therapy session as he worked toward taking steps.
She could be seen supporting him throughout the session while encouraging him to keep going as he worked with his therapist. Then on Thursday, she encouraged her baby boy to stand by using supportive words, Bluey bubbles, and his favorite red ball.
Chrisean continued finding different ways to keep him engaged while celebrating each effort he made toward reaching another developmental milestone.

Woman Claims Rape In Lawsuit Against Cornell & 7 Frat Members
A woman has filed a lawsuit against Cornell University and seven Chi Pi Fraternity members. The lawsuit stems from gang rape allegations made by the former student in 2024.

Woman Files Lawsuit Against Cornell University And 7 Chi Pi Fraternity Members
A woman filed a lawsuit against seven Chi Pi Fraternity members at Cornell University, according to CBS News. Furthermore, the former student is also suing the school. The lawsuit stems from the woman’s 2024 claim that she was gang raped by the frat members at the Ithaca, New York university.
The lawsuit was filed in the New York Supreme Court on Wednesday, September 16, per WMBG. The complaint lists the Chi Phi fraternity and the seven members accused, Cornell University, Delta Delta Delta Sorority, and Alpha Beta House Corporation. In addition, an Ithaca nightclub was also named in the lawsuit, which claims the defendants failed to protect her and prevent the alleged rape.
What Are The Claims?
The rape reportedly happened on October 19, 2024. The Alpha Beta Chapter sorority reportedly hosted an event nightclub in Ithaca. The former student claimed that she consumed alcohol while at the sorority house before taking an Uber to the nightclub. She also went to another bar with a sorority member.
The woman said she later went to the Chi Phi National’s Xi Chapter fraternity house at 103 Edgemoor Lane to hang out with a friend and was visibly intoxicated. The friend is one of the men listed in the lawsuit, per WBNG. The plaintiff claims that two frat members pressured her into snorting a substance that they said was ketamine. Afterward, she said the two frat members raped her.
In addition, one man allegedly sent a Snapchat to “Chi Phi Actives.” The message said that there was “free p*ssy” upstairs in the frat house, and more men assaulted the woman. The plaintiff claimed that she was raped for several hours. Not only that, but she said she was left in the frat house unconscious until approximately 5:45 a.m.
After waking up the next morning and going home to her sorority house, she reportedly found bruising and began to remember what happened to her. On November 8, 2024, she reported the assault to the Cornell University Police after her friends encouraged her to do so.
The woman’s lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, said that only two of the accused rapists were expelled from Cornell University. Furthermore, the other men only received suspensions, workshops or had to write essays.
“Not one of these guys was arrested,” said Giuffra, per CBS New York. “Not one. That I can tell you for a fact…. There were so many people that could have prevented it and they didn’t…. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
The woman dropped out of Cornell following the assault. Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said that there was not enough evidence for criminal charges.
Cornell University Issues A Statement
Cornell University released a statement on Monday, September 21 that claims the frat is banned from campus.
“The Cornell Office of Civil Rights and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies,” reads the statement. “The Xi chapter of Chi Phi fraternity remains barred from our campus. Federal privacy law prohibits Cornell from disclosing specific information regarding individual students and we therefore are unable to make a public statement on any other disciplinary response. Violations of university policies could lead to sanctions up to and including suspension or expulsion. We will respond in detail through the legal process. ”
The statement also said that the school’s launched a Presidential Task Force on Campus Sexual Assault following the incident.
“Anyone who has experienced or is aware of sexual misconduct on our campus can report it to the Cornell Office of Civil Rights via their online reporting tool. The university also offers a number of confidential resources to individuals looking for confidential support.”
The woman is asking for compensation from Cornell University, the seven frat members, and others in the complaint. In addition, the complaint asks for punitive damages to discourage similar incidents.

Prime Video’s 10-Episode Detective Thriller Is the Perfect Binge After ‘Neagley’
The baddest women on streaming are leading Prime Video‘s fan-favorite detective thrillers. Before the Reacher spin-off Neagley took the world by storm, however, there was the Bosch spin-off Ballard. Admittedly, Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) shares a lot in common with Renée Ballard (Maggie Q). They’re both smart, headstrong, and come from decorated backgrounds, with Neagley as a former U.S. Army Master Sergeant and Ballard trained in the Los Angeles Police Department.
However, while Ballard has the same action-driven thrills as Neagley, the series also exposes the painful side of working in a department that’s notoriously male-dominated. Female detectives like Ballard have to work twice as hard to be taken seriously by the force, all while trying to prevent crimes. She can do everything by the book, but when the system fails her, she takes justice into her own hands.
What Is ‘Ballard’ About?
Ballard follows Detective Renée Ballard, who has been pushed out of the Robbery-Homicide Division and demoted to the Cold Case Unit after standing up to a male colleague. Forced to start from scratch, Ballard builds a new team that includes a retired detective, a former LAPD officer, an intern, and volunteers. Investigating cases everyone else has forgotten comes with particular challenges — but the deeper Ballard digs, the clearer it becomes that one of these cold cases could put her directly at odds with the force.
Previously, Ballard briefly appeared in the Season 3 finale of Bosch: Legacy when she approached Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) to question him about the “Flower Girl” murder case files. Bosch is initially hesitant to get involved because of his bitter relationship with the LAPD, but after seeing Ballard’s true intentions, Bosch accompanies Ballard on her case. Fortunately, new viewers don’t need to watch Bosch or Bosch: Legacy to check out Ballard. The spin-off does an incredible job of telling its own story, allowing Ballard to stand out as a lead protagonist without relying on Bosch as a crutch.
‘Ballard’ Proves Cold Cases Are Just as Thrilling
From the beginning, Ballard emphasizes just how punishing it can be to work on cold cases. In television procedurals, cold cases are often derided, with most untouched for years, meaning physical evidence is difficult to recover, and surviving witnesses can be nearly impossible to find. But Ballard is a slow burn that pays off, with the lead character and her team scouring records and double-checking existing evidence. With the help of current technology and even a little assistance from Bosch himself, these seemingly impossible cases get a new shot at being solved.
Cold cases are often overlooked by police departments because they’re considered a waste of time and resources. In fact, the only case that Ballard’s encouraged to pursue is connected to a councilman, signaling that these investigations are ranked based on importance when all the victims deserve the same level of justice. Ballard does a great job of showing that no case should be ignored because sometimes, cracking one can lead to an even more shocking discovery.
‘Ballard’ Gets Real About Tough Issues
The common thread between Neagley and Ballard is how the two shows explore trauma. Neagley’s haphephobia, which stems from a childhood incident, affects her ability to form emotional connections. Meanwhile, Ballard’s trauma is directly tied to her profession. As a woman in the police force, she deals with male colleagues who undermine her authority, challenge her decisions, and disregard her boundaries. More painful is that people she thought would have her back remain silent, choosing to protect their jobs instead.
Because of their trauma, Neagley and Ballard have difficulty forming relationships. When Neagley decides to investigate the death of her best friend, which was ruled a suicide, people think she’s avoiding her loneliness by revisiting the past. As for Ballard, she refuses to talk about her past until she realizes that the way to get through it is to confront it. By opening up, she begins to heal, even as she harbors an impulse to tear down those who hurt her. Both Neagley and Ballard understand that being tough doesn’t mean being unaffected by trauma, and that healing looks different for everyone. The action is undeniable, but the specific nuances of their characters are something Reacher or Bosch couldn’t recreate.
