Mother, Grandmother Poisoned Kids With Allergy Meds, Kratom
A toxicology report revealed new disturbing details of a murder-suicide in Mechanicville, New York, including that mother Sarah Myers and grandmother Amy Steadman poisoned four kids with allergy medication and kratom.
The report determined that siblings Harper Harmon, 13, Hudson Harmon, 11, Gracelynn Harmon, 10, and Gavin Harmon, 10, were all given diphenhydramine, the ingredient in Benadryl, and kratom before they died in June, according to NewsChannel 13.
Kratom is a psychoactive herbal extract that can produce opioid-like effects, according to Yale Medicine. The substance is known as a “gas station drug” as it is sold legally and widely, but can be fatal in high doses.
As Us previously reported, authorities believe that Myers, 44, and Steadman, 64, killed the four children before they both died by suicide.
Harper, Hudson and Gracelynn all died after being poisoned, while Gavin was fatally stabbed while he tried to defend himself.
Myers and her ex-husband, Brady Harmon, were in a bitter custody battle at the time of the killings. Brady lives in Utah and was preparing to see his children in person for the first time since 2019 when the murder-suicide took place.
Authorities said that Myers and Steadman left behind letters, in which Myers claimed that Brady had been abusive towards her and their children. She also reportedly claimed that she killed the kids in order to save them from future abuse.
Brady has denied that he abused Myers and their kids. He spoke out about the killings in August, telling News10 that he “knew my kids were murdered” before their causes of death were confirmed. “And then I know those two are the ones that did it,” he said of Myers and Steadman.
“My kids suffered,” Brady told WRGB. “To poison them and also to stab them – there’s a special place in hell for people like that.”
Brady claimed that Steadman didn’t want him to see his children, and he also shared that he and Myers were in touch on the day of the murders as he tried to organize an upcoming trip for the kids to visit him.
He shared text messages in which Myers told him that the children were sick and that he should call them the next day.
In addition to sharing screenshots of his alleged conversation with Myers, Brady addressed the claims that he abused the kids in a lengthy caption.
“I cannot understand how anyone could claim that this was done to ‘save’ my children from harm,” he wrote. “The greatest possible harm was done to them. They were terrified, betrayed, and robbed of their lives by the very people who were supposed to protect them.”
After noting that he had no suspicions about the murder-suicide based on his conversation with Myers, he said he believes “the truth would have begun coming out once they were safely with me.”
“They would have experienced the loving side of their family they had been separated from and taught to fear,” Brady wrote. “Instead of allowing that relationship to be restored, the people responsible chose to permanently silence four innocent children.”

Late Rugby Player Dominic Peterson’s Dad Breaks His Silence
The father of late Saint Mary’s College rugby player Dominic Peterson is speaking out after his son collapsed and died during a training run.
“At this point, we don’t actually know the technical component of his passing, so that’s something we have great interest in because he was such a fit kid,” Robert Peterson told CBS San Francisco in a story published on Monday, September 7. “He was amongst the fittest on a very fit team.”
Robert said his son spent “all summer running every hill in our neighborhood” before moving into his dorm on the campus in Moraga, California, on August 30.
The school revealed via Facebook that Dominic died after suffering a “medical emergency” during a two-mile run on Friday, September 5. He was 19. An official cause of death has not been released.
Though the Peterson family has questions about Dominic’s death, they are working with Saint Mary’s to “make sure he leaves behind a legacy” with the creation of the Dominic Peterson Memorial Fund, which will support the men’s rugby team.
“We want to pay it forward,” Robert said. “He was genuinely a great kid. He didn’t have a bad bone in him.”
Dominic’s father added, “He’d go to war with you, but no malice. No anger. He was a pure dude.”
Saint Mary’s rugby captain Matthew Abbes said he spoke to Dominic shortly before the two-mile run began.
“I was ahead of him, which was strange because usually he’s in front of me,” Abbes told KTVU Fox 2. “I thought it was a little weird, but I crossed the finish line at the end of the path, and then one of my teammates came up to me and said Dom’s passed out back around the pull-up bar, and so I immediately took off [running back] down the path.”
Mario Storti, a former Saint Mary’s rugby captain who was helping with practice, was riding a bike behind the team when he saw Dominic fall.
“He just wanted to keep on going, so [he] asked for help up, and that’s why I helped him and tried to help him out, and then he started losing a bit, and that’s why I was carrying him, and he collapsed the second time,” Storti told KTVU.
Saint Mary’s College president Roger J. Thompson called Dominic’s death “a heartbreaking loss for our entire community.”
“Our deepest sympathies are with his family and loved ones, and with the teammates, coaches, classmates, faculty, and staff whose lives he touched,” Thompson said in a statement. “We hold all of them close in our hearts and prayers as they confront this unimaginable loss.”

Deiondra Sanders Posts DM From Woman About Snow, Jacquees
Deiondra Sanders is speaking out about co-parenting with Jacquees, bringing some new characters into the mix. After dropping screenshots of text arguments with the rapper, Sanders also shared an alleged DM from a mystery woman. This woman told Sanders she’s spent time with her son Snow and his daddy, Jacquees. All this amid Sanders taking to the internet to accuse her ex-fiancé and his family of preventing Snow from speaking to her when he’s with them.

Jacquees Calls Deiondra The “Worst Baby Mama” In Texts She Exposed
As previously reported, Deiondra Sanders called out Jacquees and his mom, Rosie Thompson, earlier this week. She posted a photo with Snow, claiming she hasn’t heard back from anyone about him. “I don’t like doing this but this the only way y’all respond when it [affects] y’alls image,” she wrote. She further explained herself on IG Story, saying that she and Snow are “very attached” and that he should be with her if the other parent isn’t going to be with him. It appears she may have been suggesting Snow is spending time with Jacquees’ family rather than him. Amid the callout from Deiondra, The Shade Room reported that Jacquees hopped on live to show Snow playing with his toys. “Son, son got some grandparent time, some cousin time, some daddy. That’s what it’s all about,” the rapper said.
Still, that didn’t stop Deiondra Sanders from continuing to air out her coparenting grievances. Also on Instagram, on Monday, she dropped another message claiming it’s been three days of being hung up on when she’s calling to speak to Snow. Additionally, she said Snow has been crying and trying to tell her something. “Y’all turn his iPad off so I can speak to him. This is crazy. People really be mad at the relationship I have with my son and that I am his safe space,” Deiondra wrote.
Text threads between Sanders and Jacquees, and in group chats, show Deiondra pleading to speak with Snow more and alleging Jacquees’ family members aren’t answering the phone. In several responses, Jacquees allegedly tells Sanders to shut up and calls out how she coparents. One thread shows the rapper asking Deiondra Sanders to stop calling. “Your the worst baby mama a n*gga could have,” Jac wrote in one message. Adding, “You act like a child you do way to f*cking much causing confusing and sh*t. Leave me the f*ck alone, call Laine.”

Deiondra Sanders Claims Woman DM’ed Her About Jacquees & Snow
Hours after exposing her and Jacquees’ messages, Deiondra circled back to IG Stories with a demand for her ex. She asked him to keep his women out of her DMs. “I don’t care what u got going on. Just let me have access to speak to my child once a day,” she wrote over a DM screenshot. Sanders didn’t show who sent the message, but it was a long paragraph from a person presenting to be a woman. The person praised Deiondra’s love for Snow before claiming to have spent time with the toddler. She complimented the child and claimed to have video and text evidence of spending time with him and Jac. This person also alleged that they have tried to defend Deiondra to Jacquees. Additionally, the woman claimed to be pregnant by the rapper, but unwilling to keep the pregnancy.
“I am expecting but I refuse to keep it. I got on him because how he treats and talks to you. I’m writing you from my backup page because you blocked me when I made a statement about coparenting. He wants me to keep the baby and I’m absolutely not. So he refuses to. It’s so much.”
Jacquees’ Mom Says Her Sister Is Being Targeted Amid Drama
Amid Deiondra’s text thread posting, it appears one family member’s phone number was leaked. The rapper’s aunt helps him watch Snow during weekdays and weekends with dad. Now, after the texts Sanders exposed, Rosie Thompson says her sister is “getting all sorts of hate calls.” The mother asked online users to stop calling and cursing her sister out because it’s not her. Now, attorneys are involved, she said.
“Her # was leaked on some messages….The attorneys are involved..let them handle it because we can’t…”
It appears the sister was the person who texted, “Hey Snow is sleep,” in one of the text threads Deiondra Sanders shared.

Below Deck’s Aesha Speaks Out After Nathan’s Arrest, Firing
Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Aesha Scott spoke out in defense of the show after recent controversy surrounding Nathan Gallagher‘s domestic violence arrest.
Aesha weighed in after Below Deck alum Ben Willoughby posted an Instagram video recently where he criticized how the hit Bravo show has been casting the crew. In the comments section, Kyle Stillie reflected on his own experience as a newcomer.
“You know when I walked on your season lad I’d never even seen a yacht, let alone been on one,” he wrote. “Casting flew me to Miami for my Stcw and then straight to Grenada to start filming and while filming production consistently encouraged us to be ‘larger than life’ because ‘this isn’t yachting, this is below deck.’ Controversy is exactly what they’re look for no?”
The comments from Ben and Kyle were recapped in a fan video, which is where Aesha jumped in, writing, “I’ve done Below Deck for almost a decade now and have never once been told ‘this isn’t yachting it’s Below Deck.’ Also, over the years they stress more and more we don’t have to drink and they keep a good eye on us.”
Aesha is currently featured on season 11 of Below Deck Med, which showed Nathan returning as boson. Off screen, news broke last month that Nathan was arrested on domestic violence charges in Australia in December 2025 after an alleged incident with an unidentified 29-year-old woman.
According to a police report viewed by Us last month, Nathan was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault.”

The police memo reported that Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail and he was convicted on three counts of domestic violence this month after he failed to appear in court.
Us also confirmed that Nathan is the subject of an Apprehended Violence Application that was filed on behalf of now-ex Gael Cameron in New South Wales. (An AVO is a legal order requested from a court to protect a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking that is widely used in Australia, per NSW Government’s official website.)

“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” Nathan told Rolling Stone in an August statement. “I will not accept being portrayed solely through one the account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it. I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”
In his statement, Nathan confirmed his breakup from Gael, with whom he shares 14-month-old son Kayden.
“There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly,” he claimed. “My priority is being recognized as his father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully.”
Gael, for her part, released a statement on Saturday, September 5.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself. I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
Us has since confirmed that Bravo fired Nathan in light of his domestic violence arrest.
“Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future,” a rep told The Los Angeles Times in a Thursday, September 3, statement.
Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

Why The Police’s Most Controversial No. 1 Hit Would Never Be Released Today
In 1983, The Police topped the charts for eight weeks with a song that, to this day, is the greatest hit the band has ever had. “Every Breath You Take” was included on their most successful album, Synchronicity, and at the time, it seemed like a perfectly normal, if a bit urgent, love song. But as time went by, fans started noticing how unsettling the song was. One can argue that the lyrics are sung from the perspective of an unreliable narrator, but it’s hard not to feel like this song is glorifying, or at the very least normalizing, toxic love.
To make matters worse, “Every Breath You Take” has been once again causing controversy when Sting’s former bandmates filed a lawsuit against the singer, claiming he had been cheating them out of their royalties for decades. The in-fighting about the rights to the song has made this track into a divisive topic in more ways than one.
The Disturbing Lyrics Of ‘Every Breath You Take’
“Every Breath You Take” was the gem of The Police’s 1983 album, Synchronicity. It topped the charts in the US and the UK for multiple weeks, won two Grammy Awards, and it’s still the most successful song the band has ever had. But despite the raging success it enjoyed in the 1980s, this is one of the most perfect examples of how a song can only be appropriate in its specific era. Listening to it through the lenses of 2026, it’s clear the lyrics of this song would not be well-received if it was written today.
“Every breath you take / And every move you make / Every bond you break / Every step you take / I’ll be watching you,” the song opens. It follows this same formula through all the verses, but the chorus only gets more unsettling. “Oh, can’t you see / You belong to me? / How my poor heart aches / With every step you take?” Not only is the chorus extremely possessive and disturbing, it also portrays the narrator as the wounded party. After all, it was the person he’s stalking that broke his heart, right?
When Sting first came up with the idea for the song, though, the plan was to take it in a completely different direction. He was sleeping, and woke up in the middle of the night with the phrase “I’ll be watching you” stuck in his head. “I think I was thinking of Big Brother, surveillance and control. These were the Reagan, Star Wars years,” Sting told The Independent. “The tune itself is generic, an aggregate of hundreds of others, but the words are interesting. It sounds like a comforting love song. I didn’t realize at the time how sinister it is,” he went on to explain.
But the “sinister” lyrics aren’t the only controversial thing about the song. Sting said he woke up with that phrase in his mind, sat on the piano, and wrote the song in half an hour, but his bandmates would definitely disagree with that.
The Messy Lawsuit Over This Song
Sting didn’t only receive backlash for the content of the lyrics. Despite the lightning-quick way the song came to him, his bandmates, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, insist that not only did the song take way more than half an hour to put together, it was also not a good track when Sting first brought it to the band.
“That song was going to be thrown out,” Summers argues. “Sting and Stewart could not agree on how the bass and drums were going to go. We were in the middle of Synchronicity and Sting says, ‘Well, go on then, go in there and make it your own.’ And I did it in one take. They all stood up and clapped. And, of course, the f***ing thing went right round the world, straight to No. 1 in America.”
Despite Summers and Copeland’s contributions to making this song great, “Every Breath You Take” ended up being credited solely to Sting. Through the years, the bandmates constantly requested that the singer share the royalties with the rest of the group, but Sting refused, and that led to Summers and Copeland filing a lawsuit against him in 2025.
“This has been coming for quite some time. Lawyers tried repeatedly to reach an out-of-court settlement but hit a stalemate,” The Sun reported. “Andy and Stewart decided there was no alternative than the court, so they pressed the button. They say they are owed millions in lost royalties.” Sting has since had to make payments to his former bandmates, but the lawsuit is still active.

Drew Goddard Reportedly Wants the Wachowskis’ Blessing Before Moving Forward With The Matrix 5
The next chapter of The Matrix may ultimately depend on the approval of the filmmakers who started it all.
Lilly Wachowski has revealed that filmmaker Drew Goddard, who is developing the next Matrix movie for Warner Bros., does not want to move forward with the project unless he receives the blessing of Lilly and her sister, Lana Wachowski.
Speaking with Kim Masters on KCRW’s The Business, Lilly discussed her current relationship with the franchise more than 25 years after she and Lana introduced audiences to The Matrix.
“Personally, I don’t wanna play in that sandbox anymore. I’m kinda done,”
Wachowski said.
However, that apparently does not mean she is completely disconnected from what happens next.
According to Wachowski, Goddard wants the sisters’ approval before taking the franchise in a new direction.
“There may be a thing that’s happening with Drew Goddard, and he doesn’t wanna go forward unless he gets our blessing,” Wachowski explained.
That could lead to Lilly and Lana taking at least a small look at what Goddard has planned before deciding whether they are comfortable giving him their approval.
[Warner bros.]
“Maybe we’re gonna stick our noses in a tiny bit and see how we feel, and if we wanna pass on our blessing to Drew or not,” she added.
Warner Bros. announced in 2024 that Goddard would write and direct a new installment in The Matrix franchise, marking the first feature film in the series that will not be directed by either Wachowski. Lana Wachowski was announced as an executive producer on the project.
Goddard, whose credits include The Cabin in the Woods, The Martian and Project Hail Mary, has previously made it clear that he understands the responsibility that comes with taking over a franchise so closely associated with its original creators.
Earlier this year, Goddard confirmed that he was still writing the movie while remaining tight-lipped about the story and whether franchise stars such as Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss could return.
[Warner bros.]
Lilly’s latest comments now provide a little more insight into what may be happening behind the scenes. While Warner Bros. remains interested in continuing The Matrix, Goddard appears determined to make sure the franchise’s creators are comfortable with his vision before he moves ahead.
For now, Wachowski says the situation remains “still unknown.”
The original Matrix debuted in 1999 and was followed by The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions in 2003. Lana Wachowski later returned without Lilly to direct 2021’s The Matrix Resurrections.
No release date has been announced for Goddard’s Matrix film.
The post Drew Goddard Reportedly Wants the Wachowskis’ Blessing Before Moving Forward With The Matrix 5 appeared first on Coastal House Media.

Phaedra Parks’ Ex Apollo Nida Reacts To CT Tamburello Romance
Phaedra Parks‘ ex-husband, Apollo Nida, is weighing in on her newly revealed romance with Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello. Fans have been gagged by the developing relationship since Parks confirmed last week they’re more than platonic. This marks the second time someone from Parks or Tamburello’s past has spoken out since the reveal. The first was CT’s estranged wife, Catalina White.

Apollo Nida Reacts To Phaedra Parks’ New Relationship
Speaking to TMZ, Apollo Nida reportedly said he’s happy for Phaedra Parks, especially if she feels happy. Also, Nida said Parks has “always handled herself appropriately as a mom,” per TMZ. Therefore, he has no issues as long as she and their two sons, Ayden and Dylan, are treated right.
Apollo couldn’t give a timeline on when Phaedra started dating CT because he says they most speak about their sons and he stays out of her love life. Nida also reportedly isn’t bothered by CT Tamburello’s legally married status. The only issue would be whether he’s being honest and transparent with Phaedra. Additionally, if CT ends up spending time with Ayden and Dylan, Apollo said he doesn’t plan to “be an a*shole.”
Nida and Parks separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2017. He’s single and open to love and marriage, he told TMZ.
What To Know About The New Couple
Amid rumors, Phaedra Parks said on ‘Jeff Lewis Live’ that her upcoming date with CT to the Emmys is not platonic. She also confirmed they’ve been out together before. However, she didn’t say how long they’d been dating amid his divorce or share any thoughts regarding that situation. As for how their romance began, she said on the show that it popped off in Los Angeles. This week, they’re going to be spending time in New York City for a work commitment, she also said. TMZ caught up with the couple at LAX this past weekend and videotaped him wrapping his arms around Parks and kissing her on the cheek. He has yet to publicly comment on their status or how he feels about ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star.
CT Tamburello’s Ex-Wife Sends Him A Message
As previously reported, Catalina White is the estranged wife of CT Tamburello. The couple got married in October 2024. But earlier this year, in January, Catalina filed to divorce him, citing an “irretrievably broken” marriage. After E! News reported on CT’s relationship with Phaedra Parks, White slid into their Instagram comment section. She directed a short, but strong message at her estranged husband, writing, “Sign the papers.” It’s unclear what’s causing the stall on the divorce. In the paperwork, Catalina sought an equal division of their marital assets and debts, but requested that they both be spared from paying alimony.

Mormon Wives’ Conner Leavitt Addresses DWTS Casting Criticism
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Conner Leavitt broke his silence after some Dancing With the Stars fans expressed frustration with his casting.
“Hi, I’m Whitney’s husband. text ‘Conner L’ to 21523 😜,” Conner, 32, who has been married to DWTS season 34 contestant Whitney Leavitt since 2016, captioned a TikTok post on Monday, September 7.
The social media video showed Conner and his DWTS pro partner, Adele Zaikman, pretending to read comments about him on his phone before becoming visibly upset by what they saw online.
“POV: You get cast on DWTS and find out ‘nepo husband’ doesn’t count as ‘star,’” Conner wrote in the video.
Whitney, 33, addressed the backlash as well in her own TikTok video, which read, “When someone says our nepo daddy isn’t a star.” Conner replied to the show of support, writing, “Yall are the reason I Nepo so hard 🤘🔥🖤 love you guys so much 🖤🥹.”
Reality TV fans were introduced to the couple when The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered in September 2024. During the season 1 premiere, Conner and Whitney relocated from Hawaii to Utah, which they had previously left after he admitted to having a secret Tinder account to solicit NSFW images.
Conner and Whitney, who shared two kids at the time, worked on their marriage and later expanded their family with a third baby.

“It takes time, and it takes a lot of work. I remember being in therapy, and my therapist asked me, ‘Before we even dive into this, you need to decide is this something you want to work out or something you don’t want to work out?’” Whitney exclusively told Us in September 2024. “It was something I really had to sit down [and think], ‘Did I want to rebuild this trust?’ That doesn’t mean that things aren’t still triggering to me. When it is, then I’m going to work it out and just keep moving forward.”
After viewers started to speculate about Conner’s sexuality, the pair poked fun at the comments.
“Do I need to put out a sex tape or something? Trust me, we’re good. Like, everything is fine,” Whitney quipped on the “Off the Vine” podcast in October 2024. “I think it’s because, like, when we were going through our personal stuff — and I know you haven’t seen it, but he struggled through a porn addiction — and there’s a scene where one of my friends says something along the lines like, ‘Oh, I can see how he was confused sexually.’”
Conner, for his part, opened up about working through trauma after he was sexually abused as a child.
“I had a really big problem with pornography. On top of that, I had a presence on a dating website — not because I didn’t love my wife but because I felt like I needed validation,” he explained during the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 reunion in June 2025. “I needed to get help. So we started going to therapy and trying to figure out why — and I knew why.”
Conner revealed that he only shared his history “with Whitney, my therapist and my family” before addressing it on screen.
“When I was a little boy, I was raped. When I was finally honest with that emotion and that memory, everything made sense,” he said in the emotional joint interview with Whitney. “The validation I needed … I hate that I did that to you. But I’m so proud that I was able to be honest with you and start working through some really, really hard stuff.”
Dancing With the Stars premieres on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET.

Off Campus’ Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli’s Friendship Amid Feud Claims
Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli became friends while playing love interests on Off Campus, but fans have since speculated that the pair could be at odds.
Based on the Off-Campus book series by Elle Kennedy, the Prime Video show follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives as they “grapple with love, heartbreak and self-discovery — forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood,” per the official synopsis.
The love story between Hannah (Bright) and Garrett (Cameli) took center stage during season 1, which debuted in May 2026. Off screen, Bright and Cameli formed a close bond, but to the dismay of some fans, remained strictly platonic.
Bright also addressed backlash after some audience members questioned her filming sex scenes with Cameli, who was 28, when she was just 18.
“For Hannah, the briefing was partial nudity, and for Allie, it had to be full [nudity]. That was just because Allie has got this amazing confidence about her and she is so free with her body and sex is just such an important part of her life,” Bright explained on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in June 2026, comparing her character and Mika Abdalla’s Allie. “It’s honestly just showing the difference between these characters.”
She continued: “For Hannah — obviously, given her backstory [with sexual assault] — she dresses more innocently and she’s got the skinny jeans and the hoodies. It just shows the dichotomy between the characters. That was always — from the beginning — the idea.”
Bright emphasized that “everyone had [a] full understanding of what we were going into” during the audition process.
As Off Campus became a worldwide hit, the cast has had to dodge various rumors and fan comments about their personal lives. Bright and Cameli, however, have opted to remain more tight-lipped — especially after claims of a possible feud off screen.

Godzilla Minus Zero Unleashes New Official IMAX Trailer
A24 has released the first teaser trailer for You Can See Everything, a new documentary from directors Nathan Fielderand Lance Oppenheim centered on convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.
The project was filmed largely in secret over the course of three years and was finally revealed during a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival. The documentary begins just 34 days before Holmes was scheduled to report to federal prison, after she invited a skeptical film crew into her life in an attempt to document her side of the story.
Rather than becoming a traditional documentary about the rise and fall of Theranos, the film reportedly evolves into something far stranger. Fielder and Oppenheim were given extensive access to Holmes, her partner Billy Evans, and their family before her incarceration, with the resulting footage developing into what A24 describes as a three-year journey that increasingly blurs the boundaries between observation, performance and reality.
The newly released teaser gives audiences their first look at the unusual dynamic between Fielder and Holmes, with the two sitting face-to-face as Fielder questions whether Holmes is being genuine with him.
You Can See Everything will be released exclusively in theaters this October through A24.

Bruce Campbell Officially Seals Ash’s Evil Dead Return Fate [Exclusive]
Bruce Campbell and The Evil Dead have been practically inseparable for more than four decades. Ash Williams turned Campbell into a horror icon, and even as the franchise has grown well beyond the cabin where it all started, Campbell has remained one of the people helping steer the ship. Campbell has already retired Ash Williams, something he would very much like everyone to remember he announced years ago, but that didn’t mean he was done with Evil Dead altogether, despite not wanting to return to that particular role.
Instead, Campbell moved behind the scenes, remaining involved as a producer alongside longtime collaborators Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert as a new generation of filmmakers got their chance to unleash the Deadites. The results have proven that Evil Dead can absolutely survive without Ash wielding the chainsaw, but Campbell has never been all that far away. Until now, at least, because it turns out, retiring Ash isn’t the only way his relationship with the franchise is going to change.
Now, Campbell is ready to take another step back. While speaking with Collider’s Aidan Kelley about his new film Ernie & Emma, Campbell revealed that he has started distancing himself from the producing side of Evil Dead, though that doesn’t mean he’s completely leaving the franchise behind. “I am, to a degree. I’m even distancing myself a little bit from that,” Campbell said when asked about his continued involvement as an Evil Dead producer.
‘Ernie & Emma’ Helped Bruce Campbell Step Away From the Studio System
Campbell explained that he “didn’t have a whole lot to do with Evil Dead Burn,” marking a significant change from the previous installments, where Campbell was willing to follow the movies all the way through post-production. “The previous two movies, I would uproot myself and go to Copenhagen or wherever they’re doing post-production, and I’d live there and sit in on the mix,” said Campbell. “I’m very interested in sound and all that.”
The decision isn’t the result of a falling out with Raimi, Tapert, or the filmmakers now carrying Evil Dead forward. Instead, Campbell has simply grown tired of working within the studio system. He recalled watching filmmakers receive extensive notes throughout the development process and realizing that, unlike his longtime partners, he never particularly enjoyed navigating that world. “I realized I have two partners, Rob Tapert [and] Sam Raimi. They know executives by name. I never knew any of these guys,” Campbell explained.
“They’ve been in the studio game from the go-get, they make studio movies. They get that world. I never got it, never understood it, and I never liked it.”
Campbell stressed that his decision has nothing to do with the people he has spent decades making Evil Dead alongside. He still partners with Raimi and Tapert, but he reached a point where he didn’t feel like he could give the producing side of the franchise the enthusiasm it deserved. “I’m still partners with those guys, but I couldn’t get as joyfully involved as I should be as a partner,” Campbell said. “And I said, ‘You guys, you guys don’t want a grumpy partner on this. Let me just step aside.’”
That doesn’t mean Campbell has stopped paying attention to where Evil Dead goes next. In fact, he seems more than comfortable handing the franchise over to the filmmakers who have helped reinvent it. Campbell praised the directors behind the more recent movies, pointing to Fede Álvarez and Lee Cronin as evidence that Evil Dead has found filmmakers capable of taking what he, Raimi, and Tapert started and making it their own. “They’re all good filmmakers,” said Campbell, “and so they’re in pretty good hands with the guys.”
That’s ultimately why he asked, “to just kind of get off the treadmill to a degree.” And when Kelley asked whether he was at least still somewhat involved, Campbell offered one final reassurance: “I’m aware of what’s going on.” So, no, Campbell isn’t completely saying goodbye to Evil Dead. His days of moving overseas to sit in on the production may be behind him, and Ash Williams remains firmly retired, but Campbell isn’t cutting himself off from the franchise that has defined so much of his career.
Ernie & Emma is now playing in select theaters. Stay tuned at Collider for more.
