Former Team USA triathlete Spencer Korwin died after a drowning incident while on vacation with his family. He was 38.

Korwin’s body was found on Wednesday, September 2, after he had gone missing on New York’s Shelter Island. The athlete went for a swim off the dock at The Pridwin Hotel on Wednesday morning, according to the Shelter Island Police Department. 

Shelter Island P.D.’s Jack Thilberg said Korwin’s death is believed to be accidental, but the investigation is ongoing. 

Spencer, his wife, Carly, and their two young daughters — Sadie, 4, and Coco, 23 months — were vacationing on the Island at the time of the triathlete’s death.

John Kirincic of the Southold Town Police Department, who was involved in the search for Korwin, said “there wasn’t anything unusual” about the conditions on the day of the drowning. 

“There was no fog or anything bad,” Kirincic told the Shelter Island Reporter. 

Spencer competed for Team USA Triathlon at the 2012 World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.

At a memorial service in New York City on Sunday, September 6, Carly emotionally remembered her late husband.

“This is a nightmare,” she said during her eulogy, according to the New York Post. “This is the worst day of my life. I can’t accept that this is real and that Spencer is not going to come home. Spencer was more than I could ever have dreamed of when it came to a husband, a father, and a friend. He was the best human I have ever met, and he was the love of my life. We had the most beautiful and special once-in-a-lifetime type of love, and we knew it.”

Carly continued, “We always said forever isn’t long enough. And I will never be able to make sense as to why this incredible life we built together, filled with happiness and so much love, was ripped away from us in an instant.”

Shelter Island Police Chief James Read urged that Spencer’s death should be a tragic warning sign for other swimmers in the area. 

“Enjoy the water, but respect it,” he told The Suffolk Times. “Swim at a lifeguarded beach whenever possible, don’t swim alone, be aware of tides and currents, and use additional caution around docks and areas with boat traffic. Parents should closely supervise children around the water, and boaters should also be particularly attentive with the increased holiday weekend activity.”

The chief continued, “Even strong and experienced swimmers should never underestimate open water or changing conditions.”

President Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai Trump is giving a tour of her new apartment for her freshman year at the University of Miami.

“I’m home right now in my apartment, I’m making this little apartment tour,” Kai, 18, said in a YouTube video uploaded on Saturday, September 5. “So come on.”

Kai, who is the daughter of Vanessa Trump and Donald Trump Jr., kicked off the video in the kitchen which she referred to as her “favorite part” of her home because she enjoys eating “a lot.” The kitchen had white counters with steel appliances. She panned the video over to the living room to show off her art, a white couch, flat screen TV and modern fireplace.

“[There’s] my fireplace, which is, like, I think, the coolest part of this,” she said of the fireplace that had LED lighting around it.

Kai’s apartment also has a guest bathroom and an office for the college student. In one room, she had a photo of her and her grandfather, 80, playing golf hung up.

The golfer concluded the tour by showing off her bedroom which included a personal bathroom and walk-in closet.

“This is it, it’s pretty cool. I’m very, very lucky to have this obviously as a freshman … It’s amazing. I love it,” she said. “It’s really nice coming home to no one. And after a long day on the golf course it’s always nice to chill here and do nothing.”

Kai’s apartment tour went viral online and many social media users had opinions about her new living quarters. Several people called out the space as being too lavish for a college student.

“It’s nice to be rich. Your kids and grandkids won’t have to suffer,” one user wrote while another responded, “This is actually a slap in the face for those students who are struggling to pay tuition and holding part time jobs to survive in college and end up with huge [Fannie Mae] loan. Believe me I know 😒😒.”

Others came to Kai’s defense explaining she probably couldn’t live in a traditional dorm because of her secret service detail.

“Normal apartment in Miami. It’s nothing crazy for the granddaughter of a president. I assume they won’t let her stay in dorms because of security,” one person explained while another shared, “Unpopular opinion, but given who she is, she needs that apartment. Better security, private guards etc.”

Kai committed to the golf team at the University of Miami in 2024. Before heading to college, she began her amateur golf career during the LPGA Tour in November 2025. Kai was sponsored as an amateur at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge tournament in Belleair, Florida.

X-Men fans have loads to be excited about right now between the third and fourth seasons of X-Men ‘97 and the highly anticipated X-Men movie in the works at Marvel Studios. Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum has already confirmed that the next two seasons of X-Men ‘97 will be released over the next two years, but the only caveat is that there will not be any more episodes in the next two seasons, which will stick to roughly the same episode count. Marvel officially announced a good chunk of its X-Men movie cast earlier this year at D23, with Obsession’s Inde Navarette being tapped to play Rogue, Samara Weaving starring as Emma Frost, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Maya Boyd as Storm, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Kit Connor as Cyclops, and even Adam Driver as Mister Sinister.

X-Men ‘97 is a direct continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, the beloved Fox Kids animated show that ran during the 90s before going off the air in 1996. While the entire cast didn’t return for the new show, many did reprise their roles, and some even returned in different roles. One of the stars who came back to the X-Men universe to play a different mutant is Chris Potter, who starred as Gambit in X-Men: The Animated Series before coming back to play Cable in the new show. The role of Gambit in X-Men ‘97 was awarded to the talented A.J. LoCascio.

Collider’s Maggie Lovitt recently moderated a panel for Chris Potter, Alyson Court (Abscissa), and Adrian Hough (Nightcrawler) at Tampa Bay Comic Con, and one of the fans in attendance asked Potter if he and his other X-Men stars were excited to learn about the live-action film when they were shooting the animated series. Potter confirmed that he “auditioned to be in the first movie, to play Cyclops,” he said. “I went in and met with the producers, and Bryan Singer poked his head in. I was filming, and the whole time I was doing that audition, I was thinking: ‘I don’t even want to play this guy. I want to play Gambit. He’s not in this movie, but he’ll be in the next movie, because Gambit’s great. He’ll be in the next movie.”

Potter continued in response to the fan question, “Well, all the movies went by, and now I can play Gambit’s grandfather,” jokingly saying that he’s now much too old to play the young card-dealing kinetic mutant. Gambit never appeared in any of the original X-Men movies, only showing up briefly in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Taylor Kitsch. “I’ll never forget that,” he said. “I thought, to me, it just seemed like a slam dunk that Gambit would be in the second movie — why wouldn’t he even be in the first? So it was odd to see all those years go by and him never being involved in the live-action stuff.”

Chris Potter Has the Perfect Pick for the MCU’s Gambit

Channing Tatum stepped into the role of Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, and while it was thought that he would be playing a one-and-done version of the character as a gift to fans who wanted to see him in the role for years, this isn’t the cast. Marvel Studios has already confirmed that Tatum’s Gambit will return in Avengers: Doomsday, and he even appeared in the recent trailer that was released a few weeks ago. If Marvel looks in a different direction for Gambit in its X-Men reboot, Potter knows who would be perfect to pick up his deck of cards: “I really like Austin Butler, though. I could see him play a good Gambit. And I could play his grandfather.” It would be quite a full-circle moment for Potter to play Gambit’s grandfather in live-action, even if it is opposite someone other than Austin Butler.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of all the hottest X-Men projects.

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks recently confirmed her new relationship with fellow “The Traitors” alum Chris “CT” Tamburello. Now, following their red carpet debut at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys, Parks’ ex-husband, Apollo Nida, is weighing in and giving his stamp of approval. This comes as production has begun on season 18 of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” with Parks returning in what is assumed to be a full-time capacity.

5

After the reveal of Parks’ new romance with the former “The Challenge” star, Nida spoke to TMZ in September 2026, saying he was happy for his ex-wife and the mother of two of his three sons. He told the outlet that the “RHOA” star, like everyone else, deserves to be loved.

Nida also spoke about Parks as a mother, noting that the Bravo star has always displayed the highest level of character when it comes to their sons and their co-parenting journey. Additionally, the former “RHOA” husband said his only hope is that Tamburello will treat his young sons well.

Regarding their relationship in the years after their divorce, Nida stated that he doesn’t keep track of her dating life. He also noted that their communications usually center around the boys.

Phaedra Parks Announced The Budding Romance While On A Radio Show

Parks appeared on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” on September 4. While on, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star revealed she would attend the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys as a plus-one. Parks first noted that, “He’s a presenter and I’m his date.”

After that, she was asked whether this new romance with the then-unnamed man was “a platonic thing.” She responded, “No, it’s not.” Still, the TV personality did confirm that the romance was new, saying, “It’s been probably since the last time I came out [to Los Angeles].” For context, this was in late July.

Regarding their plans after the Emmys, Parks told the radio hosts that CT would be traveling to New York City with her. When asked if they would be sharing a bed on the trip, she teased, “Wouldn’t you like to know? I can’t give this to you. I gotta save it for the world.”

The ‘RHOA’ Star Posted Photos From The Emmys With Chris Tamburello

Days after the appearance on “Jeff Lewis Live,” Parks showed up to the Emmys as Tamburello’s date. The two walked the red carpet together, seemingly as a couple, and she later posted multiple photos to social media.

The “RHOA” star said in the caption of the photo, “Some came for the awards. I came with the prize. Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better.” Parks and Tamburello appear in the photos wearing black outfits. She’s donning a Jovani Fashions dress with an open back.

He’s wearing a classic black suit with a white shirt and a black bowtie. Several photos show the two “Traitors” alums holding hands or him embracing her from behind, signaling intimacy in their relationship.

Phaedra Discussed Co-Parenting With Apollo In 2025

Parks and Nida’s divorce was finalized in 2017, following her 2014 filing. The filing came as he began serving his eight-year prison sentence for fraud and identity theft. Now, years later, Nida has been released and is on decent terms with his ex-wife.

Parks spoke to Bravo in July 2025 and gave an update on their co-parenting journey. She said, “Apollo just called me about five minutes ago, and I told him I could not speak because I’m busy right now with you guys.”

Giving insight into their dynamic, she shared, “I mean, I’m obviously the custodial parent and the children are with me 95 percent of the time, but he does pick them up from camp sometimes, and they spend time with him when he wants to spend time with them, and I’m so very open to whatever he wants to do.”

However, she also stated that they’d had a “little hiccup” recently before mentioning a conversation she’d had with her son. She recalled, “My son called me last night, he’s like, ‘Mom, I just want you and my dad to try to become friends again.’”

Parks then said to him, “It’s a process, it’s a journey cause crazy things happen…it makes it difficult sometimes.”

The “RHOA” Cast Is Filming For Season 18

Season 17 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” concluded in August 2026 following a bombshell three-part reunion. Now, mere weeks later, the cast has begun filming season 18, with seemingly everyone returning, despite Parks not yet being seen with the ladies.

According to The RHOA Talk, most of the cast was seen filming in early September for an Atlanta Pride event. This includes Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey, Angela Oakley, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton, Kelli Potter, and Pinky Cole.

An Illinois woman who allegedly became “very invested” in Lindsay Clancy’s trial has been charged with murdering her 2-year-old son before attempting to take her own life.

Corie Walsh was “actively discussing” Clancy’s case via text messages with friends up to three and a half hours before her child’s body was discovered, according to court documents obtained by ABC Chicago station WLS.

Officers arrived at a home in Frankfort, Illinois, on the afternoon of September 1, where a neighbor was performing CPR on Walsh’s son, Barrett, according to the outlet. The neighbor had found the toddler in the basement and called 911.

The neighbor told authorities that she had found Walsh “actively harming herself.” She claimed that she took a knife from Walsh and threw it into a sink. She told authorities that Walsh, 40, said “she was trying to kill herself.”

Officers found Walsh upstairs, where she allegedly told them that her son was the “devil” and the “anti-Christ.”

Lindsay Clancy’s high-profile murder trial has captured national attention as prosecutors and her defense team present starkly different portraits of the former nurse accused of killing her three young children in January 2023.

Another infant was reportedly found at the home and was unharmed.

Prosecutors have asked for Walsh to remain detained pending trial, claiming that she made statements about harming her other three children, WLS reported, citing court docs. Walsh also allegedly intended to harm her husband, who was out of state at the time of her alleged crime, when he returned home.

Walsh remains in custody and was being held for medical treatment as of Thursday, September 3. She is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, September 8 at 9 a.m.

Walsh’s attorney, Andrea Lyon, told ABC News that her client was suffering from a “psychotic episode at the time this happened.”

“This is a tragedy for the Walsh family, all of whom are mourning the loss of this child,” Lyon said in a statement. “It is also a tragedy in that Corie herself was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time this happened. It is our hope that through a thorough presentation and investigation of the facts, that all of us will come to see this heartbreak for what it is.”

Clancy, 36, later leapt from a second-story window in an apparent suicide attempt, which left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Clancy pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to three counts of first-degree murder. During her trial, which began in July, her defense argued that she suffered from postpartum psychosis when she killed her children and had no sense of control over her actions. Meanwhile, the prosecution argued that the murders were premeditated and that Clancy acted intentionally.

A Massachusetts judge ultimately declared a mistrial on Friday, September 4, due to a deadlocked jury. Prosecutors have not yet revealed whether they will re-try Clancy’s case.

Hey Beyond the Gates fans, we have got all your 2-Week Spoilers for Sept 7-18, 2026. This includes Dana ‘Leslie’ Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) going way too far when she winds up in a showdown with Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie).

This also includes Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) being way too flirty with Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) getting suspicious. Plus, Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) is lashing out. So, let’s get started.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Labor Day Repeat Episode

Monday, September 7th on Beyond the Gates. It is Labor Day and we are going to have a rerun. They’re doing an encore from June 4th of this year. This included pivotal scenes where Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) and Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) were talking about the origins of how they chose Bill as the target and how the whole con got started.

Then Tuesday, September 8th on Beyond the Gates, Anita confronts Leslie and I’m guessing it’s maybe something to do with The Articulettes project. Plus, Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) is meeting Shanice Johnson’s (Ernestine Johnson) brothers up at the club and it ends up as a mess and there is sabotage involved. So, Shanice’s two brothers, Cedric Johnson and Lamont Johnson, seem to have it in for Ted from the moment they lay eyes on him.

Now, Shanice already warned Ted her brothers can be difficult, and he’s left speechless when he walks up to join Shanice’s brothers at a table at Fairmont Crest. And just as Ted’s about to sit down, her brother starts slamming him. Cedric says, “Anybody tell your ass to sit down?” And then her other brother, Lamont, says, “You heard what my brother said. You’re not welcome here.” So, it’s messy.

BTG Spoilers: Smitty in the Hot Seat

Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) gets worried because Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) is over at the house and asking him questions that seem to suggest he’s a suspect. So, Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) there with Smitty. Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) is there and they’re all talking to Jacob.

And Smitty basically asked Jacob, “Why are you asking me questions like you would a murder suspect?” And Smitty asks, “Is Lia Whitmore (Cecelia Specht)’s death now a murder investigation?” Naomi is going to intervene as a lawyer to make sure that Jacob doesn’t cross line.

She may shut it down. I can’t imagine why they would think Smitty is a suspect. How would he even get to Lia to well, he did go to see her, so he can get to Lia, but the drugs are a whole other thing. And again, why would Smitty want to kill his source? So, Jacob is torn between professional and personal obligations with this whole situation.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Tyrell Off to College

Wednesday, September 9th, on Beyond the Gates, Martin and Smitty give Tyrell Richardson (Jaden Lucas Miller) a big sendoff as he heads off for his freshman year at Banaker. Jessica Harris (Camryn Jade) is there to see her brother off to college, and she is starting her senior year of high school. Vanessa is excited to unveil the new High Rollers Lounge at the casino. Looks very luxe. I’m sure Joey’s going to love what Vanessa’s done with the place.

Also, on Wednesday, Heather is at Orphe Jeans and is chatting up Samantha Richardson (Najah Jackson) and Tyrell. And then Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) is there and Heather says, “I’m just absolutely smitten with your lovely grandchildren.” Well, Nicole doesn’t like Heather even talking to her grandkids. And so Nicole marches over to the new high roller room. So, she may be the surprise visitor that spoilers say Joey gets on that day with Vanessa there.

Nicole lays into Joey and says, “Keep your damn sister away from my grandkids.” I’m sure that Vanessa is going to try and diffuse the situation. Joey realizes he has quite a bit in common with his surprise visitor. And if it is about Nicole, I suspect he will tell her he doesn’t want Heather near her kids. Doesn’t want his sister near Jessica. Doesn’t even want her in the DMV. He’s trying to get her to leave town.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Naomi Helps Kat & Chelsea

Things get worse for Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) and Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla). So, Naomi sits down and makes a game plan for them. Chelsea’s worried their brand is going to be tarnished more than they expected because they’re taking heat for backing out of the Tokyo show.

But they can’t say why they can’t mention the Takahashi Sweat Shop rumors or they could be sued for libel, slander, all that good stuff. Jacob calls out his dad, Elon, and puts him in check. And this may be Jacob’s frustrations about the Lia Whitmore case and about them even having him question Smitty.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Leslie Barges in on Anita & Vernon

Thursday, September 10th on Beyond the Gates, we’ve got Leslie showing up over to Anita and Vernon’s house uninvited. Last week, she made demands on Anita, Tracy, and Sharon Winger (Bonita Brisker) to be in the booth for the recording, to be named a producer, and of course, be paid to give her permission to use Barbara’s voice on the new album.

So, Vernon reluctantly lets Leslie and Eva Thomas Richardson (Ambyr Michelle) into their home. And Anita asks, “What now, Leslie?” And she tells her, “Nita, don’t get twisty. Leslie says they’ll be there just a minute. I’m sure it’s about Barbara, and the spoilers say they all face the music together, so maybe Eva and Leslie want to hear some of Barbara’s tapes.”

Deanna McBride (Angela Fairley) is struggling and reaches a breaking point next week and then makes a big decision. Vanessa’s really worried about Deanna and in the week ahead she gets vulnerable with Isaiah and since he works at Banaker, maybe he has some advice for Vanessa on how to get Deanna to go back to school and to pull out of this funk she’s in. Bill’s daughter drops a huge bombshell. So, this could be Chelsea or Naomi since both have stuff going on and both are worried about their dad.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Dani & Bill Get Flirty

Then Friday, September 11th on Beyond the Gates, we’ve got Dani and Bill doing a little sneaky flirting via text message. He sends something provocative to Dani who texts back the temptation to do what? Knock some sense into you. And then Bill texts back, “Come home and say that to my face and see what happens.”

And Dani starts giggling and Andre walks in and hears Dani laughing and wants to know what she’s laughing at. Her face looks like a deer in headlights. And I don’t think she’s going to tell him that she’s texting with Bill because if she does, that would get messy fast because Andre and Dani are supposedly on their second honeymoon. So really, Dani shouldn’t be texting her ex.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Hayley on the Spot and Tomas Turns to Eva

Andre concludes his mission on Friday, so he may get confirmation that Heather sent the champagne and is monitoring him on his trip. By the end of the week, Bill puts Hayley in the hot seat for a round of interrogation. I wonder if Bill is going to finally figure out what she’s up to because of that new pacemaker app. An argument with Kat sends Tomas over to lean on Eva yet again.

I think this is laying the groundwork for both couples to be in trouble since Kat may lean on Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe). Even with the issues going on, Chelsea and Madison Montgomery (Kenjah McNeil) find some time for a much-needed romance. And Ted is still reeling from the rude welcome he got from Shanice’s brothers. Apparently Cedric and Lamont aren’t warming up to him and Shanice rallies and makes a stand likely against her brothers for being rude to him.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Chelsea & Kat Struggle

Then the week of September 14th through the 18th on Beyond the Gates, we have got Chelsea and Kat facing more professional trouble until the Takahashi scandal goes public. It is Chelsea Kat taking the hit. Now hopefully Naomi can find some sort of solution for them.

Bill’s increasing mistrust of Hayley could soon drive her to take desperate measures, even more desperate than she already is. Joey’s got to come up with a way to get Heather under control or out of town, or both. It’s time to start recording The Articulettes album soon, and I think Leslie is going to be a big problem for them.

Ted has got to find a way to deal with Shanice’s brothers and get along with them. Andre may take a peek at Dani’s phone to find out what she’s up to and who she is giggling with, and he won’t like it. The stress picks up in Kat and Tomas’ relationship. Plus, the decision that Deanna makes could affect the rest of her life and Vanessa’s and Joey’s. Jacob keeps looking into Lia’s death, and Smitty does too. And Vanessa’s anxieties about Deanna mount.

Jack Doherty has been accused of targeting women described as “young and vulnerable” with promises of a glamorous lifestyle before allegedly taking a substantial share of the money they generated. Former employees claim the controversial YouTuber used his massive social media following to promote women selling adult content while exercising considerable control over their businesses. The allegations have resurfaced as Doherty faces heightened scrutiny following his recent arrest on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Florida.

Doherty built his online following through confrontational pranks, livestreams and increasingly outrageous public stunts. As his operation expanded, luxury cars, private jets and scantily clad models became a regular part of his content.

Former employee Matthew Gonzalez, a content creator who has worked with Jake Paul and MrBeast, reportedly spent approximately six months working for Doherty in 2023. “He did whatever he had to do to get views,” Gonzalez told the Daily Mail.

Gonzalez claimed Doherty’s controversial behavior helped him build a large audience of young viewers. According to the former employee, that following was later used to promote models who sold adult content.

The arrangement allegedly allowed Doherty to profit from both the public videos featuring the women and their separate subscription-based accounts.

Doherty has previously denied exploiting or coercing female influencers.

YouTuber Accused Of Targeting ‘Young And Vulnerable’ Women

Another former employee accused Doherty of approaching women he considered easier to influence with promises that they could quickly transform their lives. “He always tried to sell them the dream,” the former employee alleged.

The source claimed the women were presented with visions of wealth, luxury travel and internet fame if they agreed to participate in Doherty’s business. “He had no morals, no moral compass,” the former employee added.

The allegations suggest that Doherty’s public displays of expensive cars, private flights and lavish experiences may have served as more than entertainment. According to the former employees, that lifestyle was also part of the pitch used to persuade aspiring creators to work with him.

However, no contracts or financial records supporting the employees’ description of those arrangements were included in the report.

Matthew Gonzalez Claims Models Received A ‘Base Salary’

Gonzalez alleged that the women were encouraged to believe they could become wealthy through Doherty’s platform. However, he claimed Doherty retained a substantial percentage of their earnings while paying them far less than the income their content allegedly generated. “He tried to sell them the dream that they could get rich, and then give them a damn near base salary and have them slave away,” Gonzalez said.

The former employee also claimed that some women who were initially uncomfortable with nudity were encouraged to participate anyway if they wanted to continue appearing in Doherty’s content.

Gonzalez did not disclose the specific percentages allegedly taken by Doherty or identify the contracts used to manage the women’s accounts. He claimed that Doherty could earn as much as $300,000 from a single creator in one day. That amount remains an allegation and has not been verified through financial records.

McKinley Richardson Describes The ‘Emotional Unraveling’ Of Her Relationship

Doherty’s former girlfriend, McKinley Richardson, has made her own disturbing allegations about their relationship. During an appearance on her close friend Camilla Araujo’s podcast, Richardson described what she called the “emotional unraveling” of her time with the YouTuber.

Richardson alleged that the relationship, which appeared glamorous online, was defined behind the scenes by manipulation, humiliation, body-shaming and psychological isolation. She claimed Doherty sometimes reacted to her distress in ways that left her feeling dehumanized.

“He found it very attractive,” she told Araujo. “I would start crying in certain situations, and he’d say how beautiful and hot I am when I cry. That it’s sexy. But I didn’t feel sexy. I felt humiliated, especially when it was something he caused.”

McKinley Richardson Claims Her Pain Became ‘Content’

Richardson also alleged that her pain frequently became part of Doherty’s entertainment. She claimed Doherty would flirt with other women in front of her, invite women to twerk on him and purchase signs at clubs that mocked her name, all in the name of creating “content.” “He’d make me look stupid in front of people,” she said. “He’d say, ‘It’s different off camera,’ but so much of it was filmed. So how much was ever real?”

Richardson said the relentless filming blurred the boundaries between their private relationship and the personas they presented online.

The influencer described becoming increasingly anxious and emotionally exhausted as she struggled to determine which moments between them were genuine. “Every day was content,” she said. “Every waking moment was a performance. It broke me down completely.”

Her allegations suggest that the pressure was not limited to appearing in Doherty’s videos. According to Richardson, the constant pursuit of online attention gradually consumed their personal lives and left her feeling emotionally depleted.

Science fiction? Check. Romance? Check. Horror? Check. Action? Check. Finding a movie that includes all of these is a challenge, finding a good one is even harder, but Scott Derrickson somehow managed to pull it off, while pairing Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy as two elite operatives stationed on opposite sides of a mysterious chasm.

Released exclusively on Apple TV in February 2025, The Gorge quickly became a major streaming success for the service. Apple said shortly after its debut that the movie had become its biggest film launch ever, surpassing every previous movie released on the platform. The movie also helped drive increased engagement for Apple TV internationally, immediately raising questions about whether its self-contained story could eventually become a franchise.

Two highly-trained operatives are appointed to posts in guard towers on opposite sides of a vast and highly classified gorge, protecting the world from an undisclosed, mysterious evil that lurks within. They bond from a distance while trying to stay vigilant in defending against an unseen enemy. When the cataclysmic threat to humanity is revealed to them, they must work together in a test of both their physical and mental strength to keep the secret in the gorge before it’s too late.

The cast is led by Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) as Levi Kane, alongside Taylor-Joy (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) as Drasa, Sigourney Weaver (Alien) as Bartholomew, Sope Dirisu (Gangs of London) as J.D., William Houston (The Last Duel) as Erikas, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Wonka) as Black Ops Commander, James Marlowe (The Witcher) as Bradford Shaw, and Julianna Kurokawa (The Peripheral) as Air Force One.

‘The Gorge’ Was a Hit With Audiences

Critics were considerably less enthusiastic about Derrickson’s genre mash-up than Apple TV subscribers. The Gorge holds a 63% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviews praising the chemistry between Teller and Taylor-Joy while proving more divided over the increasingly elaborate sci-fi mythology surrounding them. Audiences responded much more positively, giving the movie a 77% Popcornmeter score.

Collider’s review stated that The Gorge was a ridiculous movie, but that is also a big part of its charm. The film mixes romance, sci-fi mystery, monster horror, and action thriller in a way that should not really work, yet it still ends up being a pretty entertaining watch. The story follows two elite snipers guarding a mysterious gorge, only for their mission to turn into a strange love story and then a much louder, more chaotic fight for survival.

The Gorge is streaming now on Apple TV.

The Bold and the Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers for Sept 7-18, 2026 are going to see Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) completely blindsided and uncomfortable about plans being made. Plus, we’ve got Eric Forrester (John McCook) raging and bossing around a member of his family.

Also, in the two weeks of September 7th through the 18th, we’ve got Katie Logan (Heather Tom) scheming, Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) making a shocking confession, and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) on edge. There’s a lot to unpack, so let’s jump in.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Steffy & Carter Blindsided

Monday, September 7th on The Bold and the Beautiful. Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter are blindsided when Finn (Tanner Novlan) organizes an unexpected double date dinner. So, it looks like Finn talks to Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and invites her and Carter over, thinking Steffy would be fine with it, but it is the last thing Carter and Steffy want right now.

So, Daphne tells Carter up at Forrester, “We’re having dinner in Malibu. Steffy and Finn invited us to join.” Carter is stunned. This was all obviously Steffy’s husband’s plan. So, Finn sets a beautiful table and they host an unforgettable dinner for Daphne, Carter, and of course Steffy and Finn are there. Unforgettable doesn’t mean in a good way, though.

During dinner, Steffy appears to be an anxious mess because of guilt and accidentally fumbles and spills her wine glass and it goes everywhere. Steffy scrambling to clean up the mess she’s made, but the Carter mess is going to be tougher to clean up. Daphne tells Steffy, “I know there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for Carter and me.” And Steffy tells Daphne, “You know, I will do anything for your happiness.”

B&B Spoilers: Katie Keeps Meddling

Katie tries to keep an open mind about Will Spencer (Crew Morrow)’s love life. Well, actually, she says she is. She’s really not and she’s not making much of an effort. She’s still interfering this week by going to Electra. And Katie didn’t seem at all impressed by what Darcy Dylan (Kelly Sullivan) was saying about what a good person that Melissa Dylan is. Nor was Katie impressed by Will telling his mom to stop it.

Katie was really irritated that Will stopped Dylan and Darcy from leaving and was comforting Dylan. Katie was rolling her eyes all over the place and scoffing at everything Darcy and Dylan said. She’s just being awful. And again, Katie’s still interfering this week. So, that’s not an open mind at all.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Daphne Accepts the Truth

Tuesday, September 8th, on The Bold and the Beautiful, Daphne faces the truth. She may have another doctor’s appointment offscreen and finds out that not only can she not conceive, but also cannot carry a child. So, Carter’s wife may find out pregnancy is completely off the table and they need a surrogate or to adopt.

If Daphne comes around to doing IVF, this might also be where Steffy’s egg comes into the picture. We also have Darcy shocked when Dylan opens up about her past in LA. Seeing as Darcy already knows that Melissa Dylan was vehicularly homeless, obviously it’s something else. So, I’m thinking that she might tell Darcy about everything that went down with Luna. Melissa Dylan was held hostage at the beach house during Hope’s art class.

Luna was obsessed with Will. That Dylan killed Luna with her car during the manhunt when she ran into the road in front of Dylan’s vehicle. That was when the cops and Will and Katie and a bunch of others were trying to chase Luna down. That’s the whole backstory for why Steffy offered Dylan the job at Forrester Creations. So, I think Darcy is going to be horrified by a lot of this.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Finn Helps Daphne & Carter

Wednesday, September 9th on The Bold and the Beautiful. Finn’s medical expertise is invaluable. This may have something to do with Daphne’s diagnosis and her and Carter’s hopes to start a family. I think Finn may have some advice on how they should go about it just based on Daphne’s latest medical info.

And of course, Finn is still clueless that Steffy and Carter might have started a family of their own because on soaps we know that affairs often lead to unexpected pregnancies. So, really Steffy might be helping Carter and Daphne much more than she planned if she’s got his bun in her oven.

Meanwhile, Electra gets an unexpected visitor. I suspect it’s Katie since she’s over at the Forrester mansion this week pleading with Electra to get back with Will. Then Thursday, September 10th on The Bold and the Beautiful, somebody’s questioning Dylan’s feelings for Will. Now, it might be Katie, but then again, Darcy and Dylan are having a heart-to-heart this week where Darcy is gushing about Dylan being in love with a man because her daughter’s never been in love before.

B&B Spoilers: Dylan’s Feelings Questioned

So, Darcy may just be expressing some motherly concern, trying to make sure that Dylan is really sure about her feelings for Will and isn’t just infatuated or attached because he saved her. Also, this week, Melissa Dylan and Will are looking blissed out and are smooching on the sofa at his house on the deck.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Carter & Steffys Futures at Risk

Friday, September 11th on The Bold and the Beautiful. Steffy and Carter’s futures are tested. I don’t expect the truth about them cheating is going to come out quite this soon, but something might happen that scares them after this dinner. Katie makes an appeal to Electra by the end of the week.

So, we got Katie over at the Forrester mansion talking to Electra, basically demanding she go grab Will back away from Dylan. But with Electra having this epiphany where she realized she was too hard on Will, we’ll see how it goes.

Katie Pressures Electra on Bold

I do think Katie may play on that and tell Electra, at least go talk to Will. You can apologize. Tell him you were wrong. Tell him you want him back. But I don’t know if Electra is even going to be willing to try at that point because this week she appeals to Eric and says she can’t stop thinking of Will.

She says she wants to be with him and Electra tells Eric she doesn’t want to jeopardize her career or her place in the Forrester family. However, Electra is insisting to Eric she really does not want to lose Will.

Electra realizes how close she is to losing Will forever because of how close he’s getting to Dylan. But of course, Eric’s going to get hotheaded and he pushes back on Electra and says just let Will move on with Dylan that it’s okay.

But Electra says every time she closes her eyes, she sees Will and then Eric snaps at her then open your eyes. So, I’m thinking either Electra may cave to pressure from Eric and doesn’t make a play for Will like Katie wants, or Will may actually turn her down. He may be tired of Electra’s games.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Dylan’s History Revealed

September 14th through the 18th on The Bold and the Beautiful. We’ll find out much more about Dylan now that Darcy is in town. And something is going to compel Melissa Dylan’s mom to stay in LA. We will be seeing lots more of Kelly Sullivan. Brad Bell said the aftermath from Steffy and Carter’s secret fling could affect things for years to come.

So, we might see Steffy having pregnancy symptoms very soon. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) gets a story line of her own in coming weeks. But before then, she and Katie are back at each other’s throats when Brooke decides Katie has gotten even more despicable with a new stunt that she pulls.

B&B Spoilers: Will Commits to Dylan

We’ll see if Electra listens to Katie and tries to get Will back because Eric flat out tells Electra no on the Will subject. And speaking of him, he does not care what Katie thinks. He is going to be all in with Dylan on this romance. And from there, we may see her officially moving in with Will. And maybe Darcy winds up staying in Dylan’s apartment since she’s sticking around LA.

Katie’s sabotage plan to split Will and Dylan may go nowhere fast, but I doubt that Katie will stop. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) may tell her to. Will’s already told her to, but Katie is just in some sort of vicious spiral.

Finn and Daphne may get suspicious because of Steffy and Carter’s behavior. RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) and Electra get closer as he tries to keep her mind off Will. And we will meet more of Electra’s family soon. I’m assuming it’ll be her parents that come to LA.
