NFL legend Roger Craig made a poignant announcement during his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech, revealing that he has been diagnosed with vascular dementia.
“Today, there’s another chapter I want to share,” Craig, 66, said in prerecorded comments on Saturday, August 8. “I have been diagnosed with vascular dementia that my doctors think may be related, at least in part, due to the concussions I experienced during my career.”
Craig was seated on stage as his prerecorded comments were played for the star-studded audience at Tom Benson Stadium in Canton, Ohio, during the annual ceremony. He was formally inducted into the Hall of Fame by former teammate and childhood friend, Jamie Williams, earlier in the evening.
Per the Alzheimer’s Association, vascular dementia is characterized by “a decline in thinking skills caused by conditions that block or reduce blood flow to various regions of the brain, depriving them of oxygen and nutrients.” Common symptoms include disorientation, confusion and memory loss, difficulty walking and numbness or paralysis on one side of the body. (There is currently no cure for vascular dementia.)
“The changes were gradual,” Craig said of his own symptoms. “At first, they were easy to dismiss as normal aging. Over time, my family noticed, too.”
During his speech, Craig openly grappled with the possibility that the very sport that made him a household name may have also contributed to his declining health.
“Two things could be true. Football gave me opportunities beyond anything I can imagine. It helped shape the man I became,” he said. “At the same time, we know more today about brain health than when I played. I hope sharing my story encourages people to pay attention to their health and seek help when something doesn’t feel right.”
Craig stressed that he still has much more he wants to accomplish in life because “this diagnosis doesn’t define me.”

“I am still Roger Craig. I am still a father, still a husband, a teammate, a friend and someone who loves this game and the people who brought it to my life. If sharing my story helps even one family or one former player, then it’s worth it,” he said. “Football gave me everything: opportunity, discipline, lifelong friends and the platform to grow as a man. This honor belongs to my parents who started it all.”
Craig was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday as part of the seniors category. His fellow inductees this year included Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly and Adam Vinatieri.
The running back made his NFL debut for the San Francisco 49ers in 1983 and remained with the team through 1990, during which time he was named the Associated Press‘ NFL Offensive Player of the Year for 1988. The three-time Super Bowl champion later played with the Los Angeles Raiders and Minnesota Vikings before retiring in 1993.
“What means the most is knowing [I] helped expand what people thought a running back could be. None of that happens without great teammates,” Craig said during his induction speech. “What made those 49ers teams special: We weren’t selfish. We didn’t care who got the credit. We cared about winning.”
In December 1985, Craig made history as the first NFL player to have 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season.
Roger tied the knot with college sweetheart Vernessia Craig in 1983. They share five children.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out on a date night to attend a star-studded fundraiser in Canada.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, offered a peek behind the scenes via Instagram at the royal couple’s attendance at the 40th anniversary celebrations for composer David Foster’s charitable foundation in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, on Friday, August 8.
Meghan simply captioned her look back at the gala with emojis of a Canadian flag and a red heart.
Per People, Meghan wore a black Greta Constantin gown, paired with her late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s diamond and sapphire earrings. Prince Harry, 41, opted for a chic black and white tuxedo, complete with a traditional bowtie.
Alongside a selfie shot at the event, Meghan shared behind-the-scenes video footage of the pair making their royal entrance. The footage showed Harry and Meghan stopping to speak with members of a bagpipe and drum band who were playing at the gala before heading into the ballroom.
Once inside, Meghan and Harry potentially hobnobbed with A-list guests including Foster, 76, and his wife Katharine McPhee, Bill Gates, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger, among others. The Times Colonist reported that there were four separate donations of $1 million each during the event, as well as several more of at least $100,000. (Per the outlet, more than $14.5 million was earned during the fundraiser.)
In March, the David Foster Foundation announced it was hosting a 40th anniversary weekend of events in August to “bring together friends, supporters, artists, and families for an extraordinary celebration of four decades of life-changing impact.”
“From elegant gala experiences and unforgettable musical performances to the beauty of the iconic Inner Harbour, every moment has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the legacy we have built together — and the countless lives forever changed because of it,” Foster announced via the group’s website.
The singer-songwriter created the David Foster Foundation in 1986 to provide financial support for children in need of life-saving organ transplants.
Meghan and Harry are fresh off the prince’s homecoming trip to the U.K. in July where their family visited Althorp House, the Spencer family estate where Princess Diana grew up.
Buckingham Palace also confirmed to The Times of London on July 10 that King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted Harry and his family for lunch at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, England. This was the first in-person visit Charles had with Harry and Meghan’s children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5— in four years.
The Duke of Sussex capped off a whirlwind return to the U.K. with an event to celebrate the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, England.
Less than one week after returning to the U.S., Harry wore a sleek black suit during a rare solo red carpet appearance to attend the TIME100 Most Influential People in Sports gala in New York City on July 16. He was honored during the ceremony for his work with the Invictus Games.
A Golden Age masterpiece starring two of the most popular male actors of the era is about to leave HBO Max, leaving fans of Pre-Code classics with very little time to check it out. The movie has had a deep and lasting influence on the gangster genre, and it’s safe to say that Martin Scorsese would have been a different filmmaker were it not for his fascination with films of this kind. In fact, in a 1990 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Scorsese said, “everything from this genre properly comes from the inspiration” of two movies, the one we’re talking about, and The Public Enemy.
Incidentally, both movies were released in the same year, 1931, which makes them 95 years old. Public Enemy was headlined by arguably the greatest star of the gangster genre, James Cagney. Scorsese deconstructed these early Warner Bros. gangster movies in his own films, such as Goodfellas and Mean Streets, not to mention the relatively recent The Irishman. The movie that’s currently streaming on HBO Max, on the other hand, starred Edward G. Robinson and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. It was produced during the Great Depression and tells a classic story of a street-level thug who climbs to the top of a crime syndicate.
We’re talking, of course, about Little Caesar. The movie was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and released in January 1931. It entered the public domain in January this year, meaning that even if you aren’t able to catch it on HBO Max in time, you can legally watch it for free wherever it’s available. This includes Wikipedia. Little Caesar grossed more than $750,000 at the box office and is now regarded as a classic. It holds a 96% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Little Caesar achieves epic stature thanks to Edward G. Robinson’s volcanic charisma, forging a template for the big-screen mobster archetype that’s yet to be surpassed.”
Watch Little Caesar before it leaves HBO Max at the end of August. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Keith Urban is reportedly not heartbroken over Nicole Kidman’s apparent new romance following the end of their 19-year marriage. Although reports suggested the country singer was “devastated” after Kidman was linked to millionaire private equity businessman Michael Reinstein, insiders now claim her decision to move on has brought Urban a sense of relief. According to a source, Keith Urban had been unhappy for some time and was ultimately the person who chose to end the marriage.

Kidman and Urban would have celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in June. Instead, the former couple entered the milestone year separately after ending their relationship in late 2025. Kidman was later photographed in Portofino, Italy, with Reinstein. The pair reportedly met at a pre-Oscars party earlier this year, months after Kidman and Urban finalized their divorce.
Despite speculation that seeing his former wife with another man had been difficult for Urban, a source told the Daily Mail that he had already grown tired of the high-profile lifestyle surrounding their marriage.
“Keith’s been unhappy for a long time,” the insider claimed. “He didn’t want to be on another red carpet or have a staff full of people and be forced to wear designer [clothes]. He doesn’t care about any of that. That’s not who he is, and he’s been dealing with it for a long time.”
The source continued, “He just wants to make music and play music. The rest was all very complicated and outside of his comfort zone.”

Urban’s reported desire for a quieter life was not entirely hidden during the marriage. The musician occasionally avoided high-profile appearances, including skipping the red carpet at the Country Music Association Awards last year.
Kidman also acknowledged his need for solitude during a 2020 interview with Marie Claire. “At times, he just needs to escape with his guitar,” she told the publication. “Sometimes I’ll find him in his closet playing guitar. That’s when I know we really need to give him space.”
Kidman’s work as an actress and producer created an especially demanding schedule. Over the past three years, she appeared in 12 television and film productions while producing nine. Urban, meanwhile, released one album, completed a Las Vegas residency and spent much of 2025 touring internationally.
Their schedules sometimes kept them apart during significant family moments. Kidman was reportedly unable to attend Urban’s father’s funeral in 2015 because she was filming in England. Urban had attended her father’s memorial the previous year and performed “Amazing Grace.”

Shortly after that appearance, several of Urban’s interviews attracted attention because of his reactions to questions involving Kidman. In fact, he abruptly left a remote radio interview after being asked about Kidman filming intimate scenes in “A Family Affair” with Zac Efron.
“What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?” a host asked during a “Wall of Truth” segment on “Hayley & Max in the Morning.”
Following a period of silence, a producer confirmed that Urban had disconnected from the Zoom interview. “I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question,” the producer said. “I knew that would happen. He doesn’t like talking about his wife.”

A Daily Mail insider claimed Kidman has privately been the angrier party since the marriage ended. According to the source, her relationship with Reinstein may “be a relief for [Urban]” because she could now “ease up a little.”
The insider also alleged that disagreements over access to their daughters had been especially difficult. As of a few months ago, the source claimed Kidman was “holding the kids over his head.”
“She’s the one that’s mad at him. He is not getting to see his kids as much as he wants,” the insider alleged. “It’s basically an ‘if you want to see them come back home’ kinda thing.”
Under their reported parenting arrangement, Kidman has daughters Sunday and Faith for 306 days of the year. Urban is scheduled to spend every other weekend and alternating holidays with them.

Despite Kidman’s enormous impact on Urban’s life, the source claimed his decision to leave came after he was encouraged to imagine his future. “He left her,” the insider said. “His decision came after he was asked, ‘When you see yourself in ten years do you see Nicole in that picture?’ And he clearly didn’t.”
According to the source, Urban ultimately wanted a life far removed from red carpets, extensive staff and Hollywood obligations. “He’s a simple guy that just wants a house in Nashville and a house on the beach,” the insider concluded.
Neither Kidman nor Urban has responded directly to the latest claims.
Highlander star Christopher Lambert reportedly suffered a medical emergency while attending a Pennsylvania convention.
The organizers of Steel City Con in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, announced on Saturday, August 8, that “Christopher Lambert had to leave the event due to a personal issue.” As a result, his photo opportunity session for Saturday was canceled and it was unclear whether he’d return to the convention later in the weekend.
TMZ reported that Lambert, 69, was signing autographs for fans when he suddenly collapsed and was eventually taken away in an ambulance.
Fans in attendance at Steel City Con were understandably concerned about the condition of the legendary action movie star following the alarming incident.
“Oh no, saying a prayer his way,” one attendee replied via Steel City Con Facebook’s post.
Another Steel City Con visitor revealed, “We met him earlier. I knew he wasn’t feeling well and had a cold. Prayers he is ok.”
“Sending prayers for speedy recovery, healing. First responders, staff, security, constables did an excellent job at handling the medical emergency,” another fan in attendance shared.
Lambert’s spokesperson has since assured TMZ that the actor is “perfectly OK” and that the medical emergency was likely caused by a drop in blood sugar due to a lack of sleep and food.
While Lambert was released from medical care to rest at his hotel, his management team said it was not yet clear whether he’d be able to return to Steel City Con on Sunday, August 9.

However, his team suggested that Lambert would have plenty of time to recover so he can make his scheduled Fan Expo Chicago appearance at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, from August 14 through August 16.
Lambert previously suffered a health scare in early 2025 when he fell down a flight of stairs at a hotel, thereby injuring his back. The injury was so severe that Lambert had to drop out of a March 2025 appearance at Swedish festival SciFiWorld to allow more time to recover.
“As an actor, filming and promoting his films are an absolute priority and has always been, and while he has the highest respect for people organizing events and fans who attend; unfortunately this time he will not be able to attend the comic con,” his representatives said at the time.
Lambert is best known for playing the immortal Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod in the Highlander film and TV series as well as Raiden in 1995’s Mortal Kombat. Some of his other notable projects include his breakthrough in 1984 adventure movie Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, plus his leading role in cult classic mob drama The Sicilian and portraying terrorist The Corsican on The Blacklist.
Hailey Bieber is no longer simply viewed as the woman married to one of the world’s biggest models. Following Rhode’s blockbuster $1 billion sale to e.l.f. Beauty industry insiders claim that, for beauty, Hailey has become the more sought-after Bieber in certain Hollywood and corporate circles. The dramatic shift does not mean there is trouble in Hailey and Justin Bieber’s marriage. However, industry observers believe her rapidly expanding influence has fundamentally changed how Hollywood views the famous couple.

Hailey’s growing business power came into sharper focus after e.l.f. Beauty reported a 36% increase in quarterly sales, reaching $479.4 million. Executives credited much of that growth to Rhode, the skincare company Hailey founded before selling it to the cosmetics giant in a deal valued at $1 billion last year. The transaction did not mark the end of Hailey’s involvement with the brand. She remained with e.l.f. as Rhode’s chief creative officer and head of innovation, allowing her to continue shaping its products and overall direction.
According to a beauty industry executive who spoke to the Daily Mail, the acquisition changed how corporate decision-makers perceive the model and entrepreneur. “The Rhode acquisition wasn’t the finish line,” the executive said. “It was her introduction. She became someone executives wanted in the room when real business decisions were being made.”
Her visibility has also continued outside the boardroom. Hailey frequently attracts attention through her fashion, beauty campaigns, and social media presence, including recent photographs taken aboard a luxury yacht in Europe.

For much of their relationship, Justin was unquestionably the more famous half of the couple. His career brought global hits, arena and stadium tours, and an enormous international fan base.
Hailey, meanwhile, was frequently identified through her connection to the singer despite already having a successful modeling career of her own. Industry sources now believe the dynamic has shifted. “There has been a complete reversal,” a veteran studio executive told the Daily Mail. “Five years ago every conversation started with Justin. Today the first question is, ‘Can we get Hailey?’”
An A-list publicist offered a similarly direct assessment of Hailey’s evolution. “Brands aren’t calling because she’s married to Justin anymore,” the publicist said. “They’re calling because she built something investors wish they’d backed sooner. That’s a completely different level of celebrity.”
The comments do not diminish Justin’s musical accomplishments. Instead, they reflect how Hailey has established an independent commercial identity capable of generating major corporate interest.

Hailey’s business momentum arrives as Justin works to rebuild his presence as a live performer. The singer previously stepped away from touring after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which temporarily paralyzed part of his face in 2022.
Although his return to the stage has attracted enormous attention, it has also produced divided reactions. His halftime performance during the World Cup Final received mixed responses from viewers, while some of his public appearances have prompted speculation about his well-being.
Neither those reactions nor Hailey’s business success establishes that the couple is experiencing marital problems.
The Daily Mail reporter who conducted the analysis explicitly stated that sources continued to describe Justin and Hailey as devoted parents who remain committed to one another and to their marriage. However, the reporter argued that Hollywood couples can face additional pressure when the balance of fame, opportunity and influence changes significantly between them.

To explain the potential challenges created by changing levels of fame, the Daily Mail reporter pointed to Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. The journalist previously worked as Simpson’s publicist and was present during the defining period of her early career and the end of her marriage. The reporter also wrote the statement announcing the couple’s separation.
When “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” premiered on MTV in 2003, Lachey was the more established celebrity due to his success with 98 Degrees. That changed as Simpson became the show’s breakout star.
Her endorsements increased, her entertainment career expanded, and her fashion business eventually grew into a billion-dollar brand. “You could actually feel the oxygen leave the room,” the studio executive recalled of being around Simpson and Lachey during that period. “Nick walked into meetings where people were really waiting for her.”
The shift did not prove why their marriage ended. However, the reporter described it as an example of how the professional balance inside a celebrity relationship can change as one partner’s career accelerates. “Everyone around the couple notices it months before they do,” a veteran Hollywood manager told the Daily Mail. “All of a sudden, one calendar matters more. One career starts dictating the other.”

Hailey’s continued leadership role at Rhode suggests she intends to remain actively involved in the company rather than treating its sale as an exit. Her position also distinguishes Rhode’s success from a traditional celebrity endorsement. Hailey founded the company, developed its public identity, and retained a role in its future after negotiating a billion-dollar acquisition.
Justin, meanwhile, remains one of the defining pop stars of his generation.
Charleston White is responding after Latto came for his “scrawny” self over comments related to her relationship with 21 Savage. He claims he didn’t mean any harm, but will Big Mama and 21 accept the explanation? So far, no word.
White took to Instagram on Saturday (August 8) to address Latto going in on him after he previously compared her and Claressa Shields. First, he seemed to bask in the fact that Big Mama even responded in the first place, claiming he’s “the voice” now. He said:
“When you got Latto responding with your motherf**king breast milk titties leaking, trying to breastfeed that baby…When I speak everybody listens. Now I control the algorithm and I just needed to get Claressa Shields in the algorithm so we can talk colorism.”
Charleston White said his approach is called “provoking thoughts and evoking emotion.” He also said he can never be beaten at this because he’s the “master” of it.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has sent a memo to teams that addresses ongoing discussions around transgender athletes in women’s basketball.
“I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women’s basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention,” Engelbert wrote in the memo, which was sent Friday afternoon and obtained by The Associated Press. “I wanted to reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.”
The memo said the topic will be discussed further by a task force of team presidents and general managers at a previously scheduled meeting next week.
In an ESPN article published last month, Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham voiced support for barring transgender girls and women from girls’ and women’s sports. Cunningham’s comments sparked small rallies and protests in Seattle and Portland when the Fever were on the road last week.
There was a lone protester at the Fever’s home game against Las Vegas on Thursday night. Indiana visits Chicago on Saturday. Members of two conservative groups are planning a rally in support of Cunningham ahead of that game.
The league hasn’t made any public comments on the issue.
Engelbert wrote that the league will “always approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with the longstanding values of our league. Second, our player eligibility rules, unlike the eligibility rules of some other leagues and governing bodies, are collectively bargained. Lastly, preserving the integrity of our game and ensuring fair competition will always remain among the league’s highest priorities.”
The league’s collective bargaining agreement states that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA,” but it does not include any more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth. On Friday, two former NBA players, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women.
“We recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic, and we will continue to have important conversations with all of you and the Players Association in the weeks and months ahead,” Engelbert said in the memo. “We also plan to convene additional discussions and offer listening sessions for any team leaders who would like to participate. Your perspectives and feedback are invaluable, and I appreciate those who have already reached out to share their thoughts.”
The WNBA players’ association released a statement on social media Friday that emphasized diversity and inclusion while saying the group “will not be used as political pawns.”
“We embrace justice equity, diversity, and inclusion,” the statement read. “Those are the values that unite this Union and allow it to protect women’s sports while creating transformational change. Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns.”
Some WNBA players and coaches have come out in support of transgender athletes, including Seattle Storm center Stefanie Dolson and Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve.
“We need to protect trans kids,” Reeve said on Aug. 1. “To me, it’s a human rights issue. Every kid has a right to sports.”

Mama June Shannon is standing behind her daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird as the reality star moves deeper into adult entertainment, but she still has concerns about the long-term consequences. Pumpkin has expanded her career by creating explicit OF content and dancing at strip clubs following her 2024 divorce from Josh Efird. Although June acknowledged that her daughter is old enough to make her own choices, the “Mama June: Family Crisis” star warned that the money may eventually come with a personal cost.

Speaking to TMZ, June said she supports Pumpkin’s decision but cautioned that “all money ain’t good money.” Her primary concern is the permanence of the content and the possibility that Pumpkin’s four children could discover it when they are older.
While the children may not currently understand what OF is, June noted that the material could remain online and become accessible to them in the future. Despite those reservations, June insisted the career change has not caused a rift between her and her daughter. Pumpkin is an adult, and June believes the final decision belongs to her.
The reality star also does not necessarily believe Pumpkin will regret creating the content. According to June, her daughter has always been outgoing and is currently enjoying herself while pursuing what she wants.
June even expressed hope that Pumpkin is making “more than $10,000” from the venture.
Pumpkin claims the financial return has already been substantial. The reality star reportedly told TMZ that she made close to six figures through OF in only two weeks. Some of the videos offered through her page are reportedly priced at approximately $100 each.
She currently creates content with boyfriend Darrin Kitchens, who is related to her former husband through his stepfather. Pumpkin has also discussed plans to expand the type of material she offers, including possible “girl-on-girl” content and potentially filming a threesome with Kitchens.
In addition to OF, Pumpkin has begun making paid appearances as a dancer at strip clubs across the country. She recently performed at Diamonds & Lace in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where patrons threw money while she danced in a pleated skirt and lace bra. Pumpkin has said she earns thousands from those appearances before tips are included.
The combination of online subscriptions, separately sold videos and live appearances has given the mother of four a new income stream outside her family’s reality television franchise.
Pumpkin revealed during an April appearance on the “GWF” podcast that she first considered launching an OF account during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her then-husband, however, strongly opposed the idea. “I just wanna make money, you know what I mean?” she said.
After Pumpkin and Efird ended their marriage, she revisited the plan and began creating content with Kitchens. During the same podcast appearance, Pumpkin revealed that some of her subscribers are married men who discuss being unhappy with their wives. “People judge me for that, but at the end, I’m still giving back to my fans,” she reasoned.
Pumpkin filed for divorce from Efird in August 2024 after six years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized the following month. The former couple shares four children. Pumpkin is also the legal guardian of her younger sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson.
After the split, Pumpkin began dating Kitchens, who has been described as Efird’s cousin. She addressed the unusual family connection during an episode of “Mama June: Family Crisis.” “So, I’ve been, like, kinda seeing this dude,” Pumpkin told her family. “He’s been in Josh’s family for a long time…. It’s his cousin.”
Pumpkin continued defending the relationship while explaining that Kitchens is related to Efird’s stepfather. “But they’re not blood cousins!” she told her friend Paisley.
Pumpkin said she already had a long history with Kitchens before their relationship became romantic. “I’ve known him for a really long time. We were friends back in school, and then he messaged me on social media,” she explained. “We’ve just kind of been talking, and it’s kind of nice.”
Efird entered a new relationship with Breanna Godwin after separating from Pumpkin. The couple welcomed a daughter named Sadie in May of last year. The complicated relationships involving Pumpkin, Kitchens, Efird and Godwin became part of the eighth season of “Mama June: Family Crisis,” which concluded in May.
While June may remain cautious about Pumpkin’s latest career move, she appears unwilling to let those concerns damage their relationship.
Real Housewives of Orange County’s Gina Kirschenheiter is sharing her emotional reaction to the news fellow Bravosphere star Jeana Keough is battling tongue cancer.
“The last [I saw] Gina [was] this season, and we have a very good mutual friend, so I kind of knew what was going on with her,” Gina exclusively told Us on Friday, August 6. “I just gave her really big hugs the night that I did see her.”
She continued, “You know, she has so much she’s going through right now. The last thing she needs is another housewife, you know, poking around in her business.”
Jeana’s daughter, Kara Keough, announced her mother was diagnosed with tongue cancer in July.
“A few months ago, while visiting Shane and me in Florida, my mom mentioned a painful spot on her tongue,” Kara wrote via a GoFundMe page to pay for her treatment. “She assumed a tooth had been rubbing against it and had even gone to the dentist multiple times to have the tooth filed down. I asked her how long the sore had been there. She paused, thought about it, and realized it had been nearly a year.”

On July 31, Kara shared an update on her mother’s condition in the midst of her treatment.
“Jeana is home and recovering,” Kara wrote at the time. “She’s done with chemo and only has 2 days of radiation left! After next week’s treatment, she’ll be able to start recovering.”
When speaking to Us, Gina said she was saddened to hear of her friend’s diagnosis — especially at such a happy time in the reality TV star’s life.
“What was so sad too? She met this, like, great guy [at the time] and she was, like, so excited about that,” she said. “And then this all happened, and I feel like, oh, it was just so sad to watch her get to such a good, happy place, and then have this all happen. It’s very sad.”
She added, “I think that everyone rallies around, you know? Anyone who’s going through anything. It’s like a sisterhood. So we, our hearts go out to Jeana and her family, and you know, if she needs anything we’re here for her.”
In her most recent update, Kara shared that her mother’s boyfriend, Thomas, as well as her brother, Colton, have been helping to care for her in the midst of her treatment.
“Her boyfriend Thomas, Colton and I have been in a rotation of care, and she’s being monitored by at least one of us at all times. She isn’t speaking right now, or swallowing anything, but she’s making her thoughts known via texts. She’s still trying to take care of everyone else, but we’re trying to remind her that her priority needs to be her recovery.”
