The very first villain that the crew of the USS Enterprise ever faced, in “The Man Trap,” the first episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, didn’t even appear to be one, but, at least to Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), looked like his old flame Nancy Crater (Jeanne Bal), where Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Crewman Darnell (Michael Zaslow) see a slightly older Nancy and a completely different woman altogether, respectively. Only it turns out ol’ Nancy is actually a shapeshifting, vampiric creature, one who feeds off of the salt in living beings (and officially kicks off the disposable red-shirt trope).
Ever since, the Star Trek franchise has had more than its share of memorable villains: the Gorn, the Borg, and, of course, the legendary Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban). Q (John de Lancie), who plagued the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) throughout Star Trek: The Next Generation, is another, although he is more scoundrel than outright villain. But the franchise’s best, and most sinister, villain is from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Gul Dukat (Marc Alaimo). And it’s not even close.
Dukat is the primary antagonist of the series, appearing in both the first and last episodes, and in 35 out of 176 episodes in total. You simply don’t get mileage out of a villain like that, without falling into parody, unless the villain is imposing, charismatic, and, most importantly, unpredictable. And Dukat checks all the boxes, and more. He’s a large, imposing figure, devoid of color and free of any softness in his visage to speak of, commanding attention from those in the series and from the audience, through disarming charm and chilling terror alike.
Prior to the events of “Emissary,” the series’ first episode, Dukat, a Cardassian, held the title of Legate, akin to Admiral, and stood as the head of the tyrannical government that oversaw their occupation of the planet Bajor and commander of Terok Nor, a Cardassian space station hovering above Bajor. However, after the Bajorans forced the evacuation of Cardassian forces from Bajor, he is not only demoted to Gul (Captain), but cedes Tarok Nor to the Federation, who dub the station Deep Space Nine. Dukat takes the evacuation personally, not the first time challenges to his narcissism dictate his reactions — his obsessive need to change Sisko’s (Avery Brooks) disdain of him into respect is a perfect example.
‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ Used Its Most Iconic Episode To Say Something Much Darker
This is one of the many reasons why it’s considered the best Trek spinoff.
He’s blackmailed the crew of Deep Space Nine, attempting to use the impending self-destruction of the station to gain approval for a Cardassian garrison to be placed on board, a means of reestablishing a Cardassian military presence on the station, eventually allowing for him to regain control. While it didn’t work then, his alignment with the Dominion, and subsequent leadership of it, allowed Dukat to recapture Deep Space Nine, effectively starting the Dominion War, in “Call to Arms.” And, while possessed by a Pah-wraith, he kills beloved character Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) in “Tears of the Prophets,” and aims to kill his own daughter, Tora Ziyal (Cyia Batten) in “Indescretion.” Those acts alone earn Dukat the dubious honor of one of Star Trek‘s great villains.
It’s what sends him to the top of the list that cements Dukat’s status. While entirely self-serving, Dukat has often done “good” things, showing a depth of character that goes beyond the black hat, making him unpredictable and deeply nuanced. He allied himself with Sisko, going behind the back of the Cardassian Central Command to assist in finding the truth behind the bombing of a Cardassian transport, uncovering a conspiracy involving the Maquis and their leader, a rogue Federation officer, in “The Maquis.” He teams up with Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) to take out a Klingon ship that destroyed a Cardassian outpost, before going on a one-man attack against the Klingons. And, instead of killing his daughter, he spares her life, being overcome with affection, and takes her home despite her being a disgraced half-Cardassian/half-Bajoran, standing by his decision, despite it ultimately costing him everything he has.
Yet his most sinister and villainous trait is in believing himself to be a hero. This is revealed in Season 6’s “Waltz,” when Sisko and Dukat find themselves stranded together on a deserted planet. As they talk, he explains that, as leader of the occupying Cardassians on Bajor, he was benevolent and had nothing but goodwill for his people. Yes, Bajorans died under his tyranny, but not as many as under his predecessors, somehow justifying in his own twisted mind that it counts as kindness. He wants Sisko — again — to respect him, but Sisko calls him out for his hypocrisy. Dukat loses it, admitting that he was wrong and should have killed all the Bajorans, who lacked the respect to know how good they had it under him, not even erecting any statues in his honor to recognize his actions. A villain who can’t, or won’t, recognize he’s a villain is the mark of the truly chilling and sinister. As far as true villainy goes, there’s no keeping up with this Cardassian.

Jennifer Lopez is a masterclass on how to dress to impress, no matter how casual the occasion. While accompanying her child, Emme, as they got a haircut in Beverly Hills, the singer wore an all-black-everything ensemble and looked incredibly chic in a satin scoop-neck blouse and pencil skirt. Naturally, all of her accessories were designer, including the pair of black mesh flats that kept the look semi-low key for a trip to the salon (and that we are now obsessing over).
JLo’s shoes are the Christian Louboutin Galativi Mesh Flats. An exact pair is hard to come by, though even if you can snag your size on a site like Poshmark or TheRealReal, the flats will still set you back a couple of hundred dollars. Luckily, we found a similar point-toe mesh flat on Amazon that looks just as luxurious without the cringe-inducing couture price.
Get the Reitoye Flats for $41 (originally $46) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
While you certainly don’t have to dress to the nines for a routine cut and color, swapping out your trusted pair of sneakers for mesh flats will definitely elevate a typical running errands outfit. The investment is twofold: If you’re stepping out in a t-shirt and jeans, mesh flats will effortlessly enhance your overall appearance. If your everyday aesthetic is semi-formal like Jenny from the Block’s satin tank and pencil skirt, the shoes can offer you a bit of comfort, whilst still maintaining a polished impression.
The Reitoye Flats have rubber soles and faux leather lining, with mesh encompassing the entire foot. The insole is cushioned, offering arch support, and made from cowhide, an optimal material for the spring and summer months when sweat is common. The pointed-toe flats also come in a range of sizes (including some halves), from a U.S. 6 to a U.S. 12, and cost only $46 – a fraction of the Louboutins.
According to reviewers, the shoes look even better in person. One commenter noted, “they’re very stylish,” and says the cutout design “adds a little something to an otherwise basic shoe.” Another added that, in addition to the look of the shoe, the flat is also (and, arguably, more importantly) comfortable: “I have wide feet, so I got an 8.5 instead of a regular 8 since these are pointy-toed. And they fit really well! No slipping off the heel and no squishing my toes.”
Lopez’s everyday style is unmatched. Though the actress tends to wear designers on the regular, don’t be fooled by the rocks that she’s got. We were able to find an Amazon version of her coveted mesh flats for only $41! A steal that, we think, Jenny from the Block would approve of.

Tia Mowry is getting candid, opening up about how she “manifested” her new romance.
On Wednesday, March 25, PEOPLE published an exclusive interview with Mowry. Furthermore, the outlet reportedly spoke with her while she was attending the Jhpiego Laughter Is the Best Medicine Gala on Wednesday, March 18. While there, Mowry spoke on how she “manifested” her new romance.
“I will say that I’ve been in a place of solitude for a very long time. And there, I was really able to learn who I am, what it was that I wanted, and what it was that I needed. And I manifested this. I really did,” she said.
Per Mowry, she “became really positive” and spoke her new love “into existence.”
“I like speaking it into existence, just being really positive about the words that you are telling yourself. Visualization, I’m a huge believer of visualizing things and visualizing feelings. And I just started to stop just talking bad and poorly about dating because it was very easy to do that,” she said. “But I was like, ‘You know what? I believe in neuroscience and how the brain works, and if I continue to speak negative about it, that’s what my brain is going to seek out and find.’ But if I just start to speak positive things into existence, then it’ll eventually happen. And I really, in a way too, I was okay with being by myself.”
Per the outlet, Mowry declined to share any details about the new man in her life. However, she did note that she’s “very happy.”
“I want to protect [our privacy],” she reportedly explained.
Furthermore, she noted that intention and balance are important to her at this time in her life. And, despite finding love, she remains focused on “being the best mom.”
As The Shade Room previously reported, in February, Tia Mowry appeared to soft-launch her new romance by including a photo of a man’s feet planted behind hers on her beach.
In March, Mowry then confirmed her new love while appearing on the red carpet at Essence’s Black Women In Hollywood 2026 event.
More recently, Mowry gave fans another subtle look at her man while also showing off apparent roses he gifted her.
What Do You Think Roomies?
Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for Invincible Season 4 Episode 5.
It’s not controversial to say that last week’s episode of Invincible wasn’t one of its best. We saw Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) take an unwanted trip down to Hell to help Damien Darkblood (Clancy Brown) and his father, Satan (Bruce Campbell), defeat Volcanikka (Indira Varma). However, it did end with some pretty major cliffhangers. After getting his yellow-and-blue suit back, Mark receives a visit from Nolan (J.K. Simmons) and Allen (Seth Rogen), requesting his aid. While “Hurm” was one of the series’ weakest installments, “Give Us a Moment” is one of its most intense and emotional to date.
Episode 5 begins mere minutes after last week’s cliffhanger. As Eve (Gillian Jacobs) and Allen converse on the Graysons’ rooftop, Nolan and Mark have an awkward father-son reunion. Nolan is trying his best to show Mark that he’s truly changed, saying that while he’s full of regret about the Viltrum breeding plot, Mark was the one good thing to come out of it. Mark is still not having it, angry that Nolan has once again lied to him. Knowing that there’s not much time left, Nolan makes a last-ditch attempt to persuade Mark, telling him that the entire Coalition is aligned and that they’ll embark on their two-week trip to Talescria in the morning.
As Mark takes his time to make his final decision, Nolan finally attempts to apologize to Debbie (Sandra Oh). Mark warns Nolan that it will not go well, telling him, “Who is the apology for, her or yourself?” Nolan approaches the front door, but nearly walks away until Debbie opens it. She remains silent as Nolan tries to explain himself by saying, “I did the unspeakable… twice. I didn’t want Mark to get his powers. 20 years with you made me human. I’m sorry for it. I will spend the rest of my life trying to repair the damage I did.”
Debbie finally speaks, telling her ex-husband that his apology is “bullshit” and that, no matter how hard he tries, nothing he can do or say will repair the damage he caused. Nolan continues to try to explain himself, even going as far as to say that his romantic fling with Andressa (Rhea Seehorn) was a mistake. This only enrages Debbie more, and she punches Nolan in the chest, hurting her wrist. Hysterical, she demands that Nolan leave and never come back.
After being teased in Episode 2, Tech Jacket (Zoey Deutch) finally makes her debut. Yes, her. In the series, Tech Jacket is actually a teenage girl named Zoe Thompson, who works alongside her father, Ed (Bobby Moynihan), in defending the planet. Allen meets with Zoe and Ed, recruiting the former to join the Coalition of Planets. With her father’s approval, she agrees to join in the fight. Mark has also made his decision to join his father and Allen in the war, telling Debbie that this isn’t about Nolan; it’s about protecting the universe.
Angered that Nolan didn’t even visit him, Oliver (Christian Convery) tells Mark and Debbie that he is coming too. Shocked, Debbie and Mark immediately tell him no. Oliver explains that he wasn’t there for his real mom and that he needs to fight for Debbie, and nobody will stop him. Debbie finally agrees to let Oliver tag along, but requests that he, Mark, Eve, and Paul (Cliff Curtis) have one last family dinner with her. While his wife and sons share a melancholy meal, Nolan visits Art (Mark Hamill), and the two have some beers while catching up with one another. Nolan admits that he is happy for Debbie before apologizing to Art. He then asks Art to fix his suit, but Art rejects him, saying that he “only dresses heroes.” The two share an awkward goodbye, Nolan flies off, and Art lets out a big sigh of relief.
‘Invincible’ Season 4 Stars Officially Confirm Dark Turn for Mark and Eve
Steven Yeun and Gillian Jacobs tease the internal turmoil and conflict Mark and Eve will face in Season 4 of Invincible.
That night, Mark and Eve talk in bed, reminiscing on how they first met, as well as their belief that Robot (Ross Marquand/Zachary Quinto) and Monster Girl (Grey Griffin/Kevin Michael Richardson) will soon find their way home. Mark then asks Eve what it was she wanted to tell him before Nolan and Allen arrived, but she brushes the question off. In the morning, Mark bids farewell to Debbie, Eve, and Paul. Nolan is frustrated by Oliver’s insistence on joining the battle, but the young superhero stands firm on his decision. Alongside Tech Jacket, Mark, Oliver, Nolan, and Allen board the Venture and leave Earth. At the GPA headquarters, Cecil (Walton Goggins) and Donald (Chris Diamantopoulos) watch the liftoff, noting that for the first time in 20 years, the planet is Viltrumite-free. (Given how many times Mark has already left Earth in the past three seasons, that isn’t entirely true.)
On the ship, Oliver continues to give Nolan the cold shoulder, much to his dismay. Allen notices that Nolan is in a funk and expresses his concern to Mark, who tells him that Nolan expected Debbie to be happier and has realized that he has let Oliver down. Their conversation is interrupted when Conquest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and a Viltrumite gunship attack the Venture. Mark and Allen frantically search for Oliver and Nolan, finding the former barely conscious.
Conquest swoops in and begins crushing Oliver’s skull, and Nolan rescues him, ordering him to seek shelter on a nearby planet. Conquest begins taunting Mark about Eve, which only enrages him further. Nolan orders Tech Jacket, Allen, and the others to get to safety, and flies down to the nearby planet to save Mark and Oliver. Mark and Conquest continue to fight, which culminates in the bloodthirsty Viltrumite overpowering our hero. While on the ground, Mark begins choking Conquest, who then proceeds to punch a hole in Mark’s chest to rip out his organs. It’s one of the most graphic and upsetting scenes in the series. Mark is finally able to suffocate Conquest, but the damage to his body has already been done, and he collapses, near death. Nolan and Oliver are shocked when they discover a bloodied and withering Mark next to Conquest’s corpse.
Episode 5 ends with Telia (Tatiana Maslany) updating Thaedus (Peter Cullen) about the attack, informing him that she had no choice but to leave the team behind. Thaedus doesn’t seem too concerned, telling her that she made the correct decision in fleeing. In the post-credits scene, two Viltrumites stress that Thragg (Lee Pace) won’t be happy that Nolan and Mark have gotten away. It’s then revealed that Allen and Tech Jacket are hiding in an escape pod in the lower decks of the Viltrumite gunship.
“Give Us a Moment” is a lot, but after last week’s lackluster episode, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s easy to forgive some of this season’s weaknesses, as this week’s episode is one of the best in the series. Not only does it feature several emotional character moments for all four members of the Grayson family, but it also convincingly confirms that the stakes have never been higher. Mark’s climactic fight with Conquest is brutal, but it’s also vital. We’ve seen Mark beaten badly before, but this is on a whole new level. It’s safe to say that Invincible Season 4 is now fully back on track.

Bold and the Beautiful explodes as Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is getting suspicious and starting to put the pieces together this week. So, it’s not going to be long before she finds out Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) was in bed with her husband, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan).
And when Sheila is hurt and furious and ready to retaliate, we’re wondering if she will shock the fans and respond in a way that nobody saw coming. We’re going to dig into what would be the soapiest twist that would stun Taylor and Deacon and everybody.
So, by the end of this week, according to B&B spoilers, Sheila is going to revert to her old habits, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s going to get murdery. She has worked really hard to change her life after she got that release from prison that she wasn’t expecting, and she wanted to prove to Deacon that she’d changed. And Sheila may be pressed to see that she can’t behave like she used to.
So, this week we already saw Sheila nearly catch Deacon in bed with Taylor. Honestly, it’s insane that Sheila was creeping into Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) house while she was out of town, coming in the back door. That sort of stalking is one of Sheila’s old habits, and it’s insane. She came to bring Taylor flowers, then heard noises after creeping in the back door of a house that Sheila knows she’s not allowed to be in.
And then it got crazier. Why was Sheila’s first thought when she heard music and moaning that somebody’s hurting Taylor? Right? All these assumptions. To me, it’s not the best writing. But Sheila burst into Taylor’s room with that butcher knife, waving it around, ready to protect Taylor. Thankfully, Deacon jumped off the balcony and into the shrubbery before Sheila saw her husband.
And then Taylor panicked, thinking Sheila was going to kill her. You know, Taylor was scared that Sheila had somehow spotted Deacon. And then Sheila decided that Taylor was having some, you know, lady me time. And Sheila even admired how all out Taylor went with the candles and whatnot to do some self-pleasuring. It was just all so cringy.
Sheila then recommended some audio books to Taylor. It was all embarrassing. So, she threw on a robe and was shoving Sheila out of the house, just telling her, “Go, go, go.” Taylor reminded Sheila that she’s not supposed to be there. Taylor said, “If Steffy was home, her daughter would have called the cops on Sheila.” And then Taylor told Sheila, “Leave and don’t you ever come back to the house.”
But as Taylor was kicking her out, Sheila noticed the Il Giardino pizza box and that was what started her wheels turning. That was also insane because that is Finn (Tanner Novlan) and the kids’ favorite place to pick up pizza from. They do it all the time. And for all Sheila knows, it could have been from earlier in the day before Steffy and Finn left with the kids.
I don’t think a pizza box is a sign of cheating since there’s probably pizza boxes from Il Giardino in that house, you know, at least once a week. But that was what inspired Sheila to start thinking. And then when she got back to Il Giardino, she asked an employee if he’d seen Deacon, and he hadn’t. At that point, why didn’t Sheila pick up her phone and call Deacon instead? Sheila paced around downstairs till closing time.
Then she finally went upstairs and Deacon was on the sofa pretending to be asleep. And honestly, he’d been there for quite some time. So, on the next episode, we have Sheila telling Deacon that she went over to Steffy’s to bring Taylor flowers and she thought somebody was assaulting her. And Sheila says she thought Taylor was in danger, so she grabbed a butcher knife and went upstairs.
And then Sheila tells Deacon he’ll never guess what she walked in on. And of course, he’s playing dumb, but he’s also probably terrified that Sheila caught a glimpse of him. And it certainly was a really close call. But it seems like Sheila is in a way testing Deacon to see how he reacts, to see what he says.
Other spoilers for this week say that Sheila’s suspicions grow and that she’s putting everything together. And one thing that might trip them up ties to a phone call between Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). There was no reason in another storyline for this phone call. And that’s why I think it’s a big hint. So, he called to ask Hope what she wanted for dinner. And then Liam said he’d grab something and bring it home.
And that phone call might have actually been important. So, Hope’s supposed to be out to dinner with Deacon. That’s the alibi he gave Sheila. But if Liam went over to pick out takeout from Il Giardino, that’s another sign, another red flag. So, Sheila might notice a receipt from Liam’s purchase or one of the servers may mention that Deacon’s son-in-law picked up dinner. That’s a big red flag.

So then there’s the spoiler about Sheila reverting back to her old ways or you know so it seems. But if she starts to go psycho, I think Deacon might tell Sheila, “You got to dial it back or you’re going to wind up in prison for the rest of your life and if you hurt Taylor, I will hate you.” I think Deacon could say something like that to her.
And from there, it’d be really wild if instead of trying to kill Taylor, we have Sheila doing something unexpected on Bold and the Beautiful. Remember that old Dolly Parton song, Jolene? If you don’t know the song, it’s Dolly singing about this beautiful woman who has been fooling around with another woman’s guy and then she’s begging Jolene, “Please don’t take my man. Please don’t take him just because you can.”
So, I’m wondering if we get a twist and Sheila shows up at first acting scary and confrontational and of course Taylor would be terrified she’s going to kill her for fooling around with Deacon. And then surprisingly, we could see Sheila break down. Literally get down on her knees and begs Taylor, “Please don’t take Deacon away from me. He’s all I have.” Which is true. Sheila’s got no family that’ll give her the time of day. She’s the town pariah.
And aside from Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), everybody either hates Sheila, is scared of her, or both. And nobody wants her around. And I mean, it’s one thing for Taylor to steal Deacon from Sheila the Psycho, but another for Taylor to steal Deacon from this heartbroken woman who’s begging Taylor to please don’t take her man. Because that’s another thing entirely. It is cruel and she’s not a cruel person. Taylor isn’t.
So, Sheila may remind Taylor that Deacon was really struggling when he started therapy with her. And Sheila might try to make Taylor see how inappropriate it was for her to get involved with Deacon when he was in that vulnerable state because let’s be real, it was totally inappropriate and Sheila might literally beg Taylor, don’t take Deacon, please.
I think that would be such a huge twist because everybody expects Sheila to go homicidal on Taylor and maybe on Deacon, too. And Steffy’s so worried because of how dangerous and crazy Sheila is. So, I think it would be really interesting and actually refreshing if instead of proving Steffy right, we could see Sheila actually prove that she’s changed.
And maybe she doesn’t get murdery with Taylor, but begs her instead to not do this. I mean, how can she refuse Sheila, begging her for compassion? I think Taylor would be in a tough position of being selfish and stealing Sheila’s husband on top of Taylor violating her professional oath, or, you know, she could do the right thing and turn her back on Deacon. I think it would be a really cool twist and I’m really hoping to see it go this way instead of Sheila doing the same old things she always does.
And I think it would be interesting to see Taylor have this reality check that she is the villainess of this story. You know, this is not Romeo and Juliet. This is a bad person taking a woman’s husband. You know, Sheila is not the villain here. It is Taylor. And that would be, I think, game-changing and an amazing plot twist.

You can also get a dose of nostalgia by revisiting “The Wiz” and “Smokey and the Bandit.”
“Summer House” stars are reacting to the news of West Wilson and Amanda Batula‘s surprising romance, and it’s safe to say that many are not here for it.
On Tuesday, March 31, Wilson and Batula released a joint statement about the status of their relationship, confirming the rumors swirling that they’d been secretly dating.
In addition to “Summer House” stars such as KJ Dillard and Lindsay Hubbard speaking out about the latest developments, Bravo enthusiasts are chiming in as well.

Dillard is the newest cast member to join Bravo’s “Summer House,” but he seems to be the one with the most to say about the latest happenings with his friend, Wilson, and his new flame, Batula.
Dillard, who, according to Bravo’s Daily Dish, was born in Arizona and raised in Kansas City, appeared to slam the two of them with a shady post to his Instagram Stories.
The snap was a screenshot of the popular song “Back Stabbers” by the group The O’Jays. “Logging off…” he captioned the moment.
In another post, Dillard shared an image of himself during a previous “Summer House” episode with Ciara Miller and fellow newcomer Mia Calabrese.
“I love my big sisters for life,” he wrote.
Dillard’s post comes hours after Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship following weeks of speculation.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” their joint post read. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
The post continued, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
The pair went on to say that they wanted to approach their new relationship with caution, adding that they recognize the impact it would have on their cast mates, Miller (Batula’s friend who dated Wilson) and Kyle Cooke (Batula’s soon-to-be ex-husband).
“We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this,” the statement concluded.

The news of Batula and Wilson’s connection has surprised many, given that Wilson previously denied the rumors on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live,” according to PEOPLE.
“We were just hanging out in New York. She’s single, I gotta show her the streets a little bit,” he said on a recent episode. “But if it’s not clear, that’s a very important person to me, and I care about her a lot.”
Cooke, who announced his separation from Batula in January 2026, too, commented on the speculation earlier this month, calling the rumors “kinda shocking” and “outrageous.”
“It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless, and I think I’d probably be the last person people would be worried about. I think Ciara would probably have something to say,” he said.

Dillard isn’t the only Bravo cast member reacting to the news.
Jesse Solomon shared an image of himself with a shocked reaction on his face on his Instagram Stories, while Venita Aspen from “Southern Charm” wrote, “Imagine making a statement hard launching a ‘connection’ and not even considering apologizing to the person you hurt. But I guess that tracks.”
While Miller hasn’t issued an official statement, the reality star did unfollow both Wilson and Batula, seemingly making her stance on a future relationship with them clear.
Netizens are also tearing into Wilson and Batula on different forums.
“Can you imagine posting a joint statement with a situationship not three months after a joint statement with your husband?? We don’t need a #SummerHouse reunion, we need an exorcism,” an X user wrote.
“Lmaoo I cannot believe this is real life,” another user said. “Amanda is such a loser omg.”
“It genuinely fills me with rage,” said a third. “He hides behind this ‘liberal king’ sh-t when he’s a bottom of the barrel loser. He wanted to know what it was like to be with a black girl without any of the commitment and then also cries because people call out the racist undertones. He’s OVER.”

The golfer was arrested on Friday following a crash in Florida.
Brittni Mealy is reportedly seeking a court order holding her son’s father, Future, in contempt. A TMZ report says the rapper failed to comply with an agreement regarding a life insurance policy. Now, she allegedly wants him behind bars. As social media users chat about the report, Brittni slid on her socials to promote her long-term project, her book.
Brittni and Future reportedly share a 12-year-old son named Prince. Reportedly, Future was ordered in 2023 to create a $500,000 life insurance policy naming Brittni as the trustee for Prince. In a new court filing, Mealy says Future did not comply and that she’d like him held in contempt, per TMZ. Additionally, the report says Mealy wants the rapper incarcerated until the life insurance policy is in place. The father of at least eight kids has yet to react to the report. His 2023 court history with Brittni Mealy reportedly includes a child support increase from $3,000 to $5,000 a month.
Mealy told her fans on Tuesday that her book is more than a recap of her days as a midnight ballerina or men from her past. Whether Future will be mentioned is still unclear. Her book, she says, is for the “women who’ve been through things” and didn’t get to process or are still in it. Brittni is calling her story ‘Truth Be Told,’ the same name she used when she shared it on TikTok two years ago.
“I really feel like the life I deserve is on the other side of these pages. Not just material things… but peace, release, clarity. This book is therapy for me. It’s me grieving, venting, processing things I probably pushed past,” Brittni wrote.
The post Brittni Mealy Announces Book As Report Claims She Wants Future Behind Bars Over Life Insurance Policy appeared first on The Shade Room.
