Sharon Osbourne ‘Incredibly’ Heartbroken Over Daughters’ Feud
Sharon Osbourne reportedly hoped Ozzy Osbourne‘s passing would help heal the rift between their daughters, Aimee and Kelly Osbourne. Instead, the sisters appear to remain as distant as ever.
Their strained relationship recently returned to the spotlight after Kelly publicly discussed her resentment towards her older sister.
Kelly Osbourne’s comments caught Aimee off guard, creating another difficult situation for Sharon as she continues to deal with the loss of her husband.
Sharon Osbourne Hoped Ozzy’s Death Would Finally End The Rift Between Her Daughters
Following Ozzy’s death in July 2025, Sharon believed the family’s grief might encourage Aimee and Kelly to put their differences behind them. However, a source told InTouch Weekly that she is now “begging her daughters to find a path to peace.”
The sisters came together publicly for their father’s funeral in Birmingham, England, but that reunion did not appear to resolve the tension between them. According to the insider, Sharon had hoped the difficult period would give her daughters a reason to reconsider their differences.
“Sharon was desperately hoping that things might be better with the kids after Ozzy’s death,” the source said, adding that she thought the loss could persuade them “to put their baggage to the side.”
That reconciliation has yet to happen. The insider described the situation as “incredibly heartbreaking for Sharon,” particularly because the mother of three loves all of her children and finds their inability to get along painful.
Kelly Osbourne Reveals The Painful Reason She Still Resents Her Older Sister, Aimee
Kelly offered a more personal explanation for the sisters’ estrangement during the September 15 episode of Paul C. Brunson’s “We Need to Talk” podcast. She claimed Aimee did not really acknowledge her or their brother, Jack, while they were growing up.
“She was just in her own world doing her own thing,” Kelly said, per People Magazine. She also emphasized how different they have always been, describing their personalities and relationship as “oil and water.”
For Kelly, however, the issue goes beyond having little in common. She admitted that she has struggled with feeling as though she missed out on the experience of having an older sister to guide her through life.
“I will tell you it’s one of the hardest things of my life, that I never got a big sister,” Kelly explained. She said she had to figure out certain things by herself that she believed an older sister should have helped her with.
The reality TV star added that, “I do have a resentment there. I’ll have that forever.”
Kelly’s public remarks apparently came as a surprise to Aimee. A source close to the sisters said the eldest Osbourne sibling was confused by what Kelly had said about their relationship.
“Aimee is bewildered,” the insider said, adding that she “is not taking this well.” The source also suggested that Aimee could choose to respond publicly, potentially making an already strained relationship even more difficult.
Such a development would be particularly upsetting for Sharon. Having already hoped that Ozzy’s passing might encourage her daughters to reconnect, she now faces the possibility of their disagreements becoming even more public.
“The last thing she needs is her girls going at it like this,” the source said, describing further escalation between the sisters as “horrendous” for their mother.
Kelly Osbourne Isn’t The Only Sibling With A Strained Relationship With Aimee
Kelly is not alone in having a distant relationship with Aimee. Before Ozzy’s passing, Jack Osbourne acknowledged that he and his eldest sister also had very little contact with each other.
“We’re not close at all,” Jack said during an appearance on the “Disrespectfully” podcast, according to People Magazine. He added that they “don’t have a great relationship” and said Aimee would readily acknowledge their lack of closeness as well.
Jack linked some of that distance to the different path Aimee chose during the family’s reality television years.
While he and Kelly became central figures on “The Osbournes,” he said Aimee wanted to build a music career without appearing to benefit from her family’s fame.
Aimee Osbourne Has Always Desired A Life Away From Her Famous Family
Aimee’s distance from her siblings also reflects a broader decision she made years ago to keep much of her life separate from the family’s public image.
When “The Osbournes” began filming, she declined to participate and moved out of the family home at just 16.
Sharon later explained that her eldest daughter strongly disliked the idea of growing up in front of cameras.
“She felt too that she didn’t want to grow up on camera,” Sharon said during a 2018 episode of “The Talk” show. “She hated the idea. It was appalling to her.”
Aimee herself has said privacy was something she valued even within such a famous household. She wanted the opportunity to develop her own identity rather than have her teenage years permanently defined by how the public saw her. The reality show, she explained, simply “didn’t really line up with what I saw my future as.”
That choice has remained consistent throughout her adult life. Although Aimee pursued music under the name ARO and occasionally stepped into the public eye, she largely avoided the reality-TV lifestyle embraced by other members of her family.

What defines creepy? Generally speaking, “creepy” is anything, or anyone, that causes unease, nervous fear, or even dread. But on a more specific level, “creepy” is largely subjective. Not everyone gets shivers whenever a spider shows up on a TV screen, for example, with phobias driving that sense of dread for those that do. That said, there are things that most people can agree are creepy. The titular doll from Annabelle? Creepy. Serial killers? Creepy. Fictional dystopian futures in media that aren’t all that far-fetched based on where today’s society seems to be heading? You bet, and one of The Twilight Zone‘s creepiest episodes hinges on that very idea, only to change the game over the course of its 25 minutes.
One Man Challenges the Totalitarian State in ‘The Twilight Zone’ Episode “The Obsolete Man”
In a totalitarian state set sometime in the future, Romney Wordsworth (Burgess Meredith) stands before a tribunal, where he awaits judgment from the Chancellor (Fritz Weaver). His only crime is his professed occupation as a librarian, which, because the State has eliminated books, has rendered him obsolete and subject to the death penalty. His faith in God only cements his fate, given the atheist regime has proven that God doesn’t exist. Wordsworth protests but to no avail: the Chancellor finds him guilty and sentences him to death within 48 hours.
Wordsworth is, however, allowed to choose the method, time, and place of his execution. With a glimmer in his eye, Wordsworth makes two requests: a personal assassin, who will be the only one to know how Wordsworth will be executed; and that his execution be televised nationwide, from his room, at midnight the next day. An odd request, but the Chancellor grants them both. After all, the method of his execution is irrelevant, so long as it’s carried out, and televising executions has an “educative effect” on the broader population.
There is a third request, too, with Wordsworth inviting the Chancellor into his room at 11:15 the next night, which the Chancellor accepts. He arrives on time, with cameras set up to televise the proceedings. Wordsworth reveals that at midnight, a bomb will go off in the room that will end his life, as dictated. The Chancellor agrees that the method is relatively quick and painless, and turns to leave. Only he can’t: Wordsworth has locked the door, meaning the Chancellor will die with him.
Wordsworth has flipped the script, pointing out that the live feed means that the State won’t come to rescue the Chancellor, lest it lose status in the people’s eyes. With that, Wordsworth brings out his “illegal” Bible and starts reading portions aloud, expressing his trust in God, while the Chancellor tries to maintain his composure in the face of his impending death. But when the clock hits 11:59, the Chancellor breaks, begging and pleading for his life, as he had so coldly asserted Wordsworth would do in his final moments. “In the name of God,” no less, a God that supposedly doesn’t exist. Wordsworth gives him the key, with the Chancellor escaping just before the bomb goes off. But death may have been the lesser of two evils, given what awaits afterward.
‘The Twilight Zone’ Episode “The Obsolete Man” Is a Game-Changer
In his opening narration, Rod Serling is up front about the roots of the State in “The Obsolete Man,” saying, “This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one.” The words are downright chilling in their truth, with the world within the episode eerily reminiscent of the regimes of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin (in fact, both are referenced, with the Chancellor stating that they didn’t go far enough, with “too many undesirables left around, eventually forming a core of resistance”). Those same words are creepily relevant today, making it feel like our society is on a direct path to “The Obsolete Man.” Serling’s closing narration is no less truthful: “Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man… that state is obsolete.”
But what makes “The Obsolete Man” a game-changer is the character of Romney Wordsworth, through an excellent performance by Burgess Meredith. That begins with the character’s name itself, with “Wordsworth” an allusion to the value of the written word (it’s also the second time Meredith played a book-lover in the series, the first in the classic Season 1 episode “Time Enough at Last”). Meredith’s Wordsworth is defiant without actually being defiant. He’s played by the rules of the State, only to expose their weaknesses from coast to coast in a brilliant twist. Dystopian futures on the screen are rarely successfully challenged, let alone so peacefully, and while the ripple effect of Wordsworth’s act isn’t fully known, there’s reason to believe that he’s sparked a movement, the very thing that the Chancellor had claimed was practically impossible to do after “correcting the errors” that the likes of Hitler had made. Add the stunning camera work and sets that lean heavy into German Expressionism, and Wordsworth’s actions become even more pronounced and unforgettable. Until the words in Serling’s closing narration are heeded, though, such futures remain real possibilities in the real world. Creepily so.
Since the release of Druski’s first season of ‘Coulda Been Love,’ many supporters fell in love with his bond with Bambi. The two continued linking up after the show, bringing plenty of laughs whenever they appeared together in videos and other content.
Bambi later returned for the second season, where she jokingly took on the role of Druski’s “baby mama” throughout the show. The duo also brought their hilarious dynamic to YouTube, teaming up for Druski’s ‘Coulda Been Daddy’ series and creating more laughs.
However, the jokes recently came to a halt when Bambi opened up about her experience working with Druski over the years.

Bambi Opens Up About Her Working Relationship With Druski
A few days ago, Bambi started shaking up the timeline as clips from a recent livestream began making waves across social media. In the clip, Bambi appeared to ask commenters for advice on how she should handle a situation involving Druski. It was Druski’s birthday, but Bambi said she needed financial help and claimed he was not answering her phone calls.
She also responded to commenters who claimed they did not know about Druski until Bambi came into the picture. While discussing her pay, Bambi mentioned that she felt she was not paid what she was worth while working with Druski.
“Even when I went on tour with him, I got paid nothing fr. Like, literally, the money they give me is enough to take care of my daughter and pay bills. That’s it. That’s all. I’m definitely going to do it on my own now,” she said.
Bambi Clears The Air & Issues An Apology To Druski
As clips from the livestream started making the rounds online, Bambi returned to her platform to issue a public apology to Druski. In the video, she took responsibility for her previous comments and admitted that she should never have made those statements publicly.
Her caption read, “@druski I want to public apologize… I was dead wrong and shouldn’t have said any of it I hope u can forgive me and talk to me about everything because I love you baby daddy. Yall Go Tell My Baby Daddy I’m Sorry And Come Back To Me,” she captioned the clip.
Bambi then explained that she had been dealing with a personal battle and felt like she wanted and “needed more.” She credited Druski for supporting her throughout her pregnancy and after welcoming her child, but said things recently felt different.
“And he’s been there through everything from the pregnancy, through my child being here, and I feel like I was being abandoned a little more to say because that’s how I start to feel, because he so busy,” she said.
Bambi explained that Druski being busy left her feeling abandoned. She stated that her previous livestream was ultimately a cry for help.
“He changed my life. Damn! He took me off the streets,” Bambi said while reflecting on everything Druski has done.
She also admitted that their on-screen dynamic began affecting her personally as she became more invested in their fictional roles.
“Me personally, I feel like I take the baby mama and baby daddy role serious to the point it cloud my brain,” she said.
Bambi continued to apologize to Druski while thanking him for the opportunities and support he had provided throughout their working relationship. She made it clear that Druski owes her nothing and expressed hope that he would eventually return her calls.

Many gathered under The Shade Room Teens’ comment section as they reacted to Bambii’s apology. While some put themselves in Druski’s shoes, others showed Bambii grace for taking accountability.

The body of a missing woman, who worked as a DoorDash driver, was located by her family in Smyrna, Georgia. Shanteria Tia Mosely‘s body was found dismembered by a family member tracking her phone to an apartment complex.

Shanteria Mosely Found Dismembered By Family In Georgia Apartment Complex
Shanteria Tia Mosely reportedly went missing after leaving home on the morning of Wednesday, September 23, according to 11 Alive News. Her dismembered body was later found dismembered at the Park Valley Apartments off South Cobb Drive in Smyrna.
Mosely, who was also known as KT, was found after her family tracked her phone to the area. They searched the surrounding woods and grassy area for KT and located her vehicle. KT’s aunt, Michelle Weaver, told the outlet that they also called the police. A police officer reportedly arrived on the scene but left shortly thereafter.
“So the officer ended up coming out,” Weaver recalled. “She said, ‘So where did her phone ping?’ So we took her back to where the phone pinged. She knocked on, like, three guys’ doors, and you know that was it.”
Family Located KT’s Body, Witnessed Suspect Dispose Of Torso
According to Weaver, the family continued searching for KT after the officer left. Upon returning to KT’s vehicle, they saw a man watching them from a window in the apartment complex. Weaver said they knocked on his door, but the man said he hadn’t seen KT.
After that, Weaver said the family continued to search when she witnessed 18-year-old Kingston Bradley carrying what appeared to be a laundry bag. The bag contained a plastic tub. Not only that, but when Bradley saw Weaver, he dropped the bag and ran away.
“All we see is the boy,” Weaver said. “Throwing a bag, like something with a cloth,” Weaver said. “It’s like a bag kind of cloth, like maybe a laundry bag, and it had like a container in it. He kind of threw it and he ran.”
KT’s dismembered torso was found inside the container. Weaver said that they recognized KT by her tattoo.
“I just want our story to get out,” she added. “I just want our story to get out, and I just want Smyrna police to have the correct facts where it all began at, what time it began, the time frame…. Don’t say y’all found her. Her family found her. Y’all didn’t do nothing. Y’all left us. You guys left us to do it ourselves…. Same police officer that came the first time, she was there the second time, and she dropped down. She said, ‘I should have believed y’all’.”
Despite the family claiming KT was working for DoorDash, Lt. Meredith Holt of the Smyrna Police Department says she wasn’t logged on or accepting orders the day of her disappearance.
Police Found Blood Stains In Bradley’s Apartment
The police later found blood stains inside Bradley’s apartment, per WSB-TV 2 News. Not only that, but they also reportedly found a large, bloody saw. A mop bucket with water was also found inside, and the apartment smelled like bleach. Alani Smith, who lives in the complex, said the situation was “scary.”
“Someone is dead, chopped up, and it’s scary,” Smith said. “I have two kids that live here. They walk back and forth to the bus. That’s scary.”
Weaver said that she wants her 26-year-old niece to be remembered for “her smiles, laughter, and just full of joy, and talking crap to everybody, and just being happy, cheering everybody day up.”
Bradley was arrested and charged with concealing the death of another person, per KVUE, and the police are still investigating.

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

Barry Seal (Cruise) has a pretty sweet life. He’s a commercial airline pilot who works for the CIA by helping them spy on Central American countries. He also has a side hustle smuggling in drugs from cartels who think Seal’s CIA job will provide them with enough cover to penetrate the American market. They’re right, and Seal and the drug cartels rake in more cash than they know what to do with. But Seal’s reckless spending, plus a brother-in-law who blackmails him for more moola, gains the attention of the FBI, which doesn’t like one of its citizens breaking multiple domestic and international laws. Seal’s sweet life quickly turns bitter and, if he’s not careful, it could be over sooner than he’d like.

Based on a true story, American Made is a riveting crime drama that sees Cruise play a rare non-heroic role. Beneath his all-American looks, Bobby isn’t that great of a guy, and his desire for a better life puts his family in danger of being assassinated by drug kingpins or arrested by American authorities. But Cruise shows why everyone around Bobby is seduced by him: with his devil-may-care attitude and movie-star charisma, the Cocktail actor makes you buy Bobby’s outlandish plan to get rich quickly that eventually proves to be his undoing.
‘The Outsiders’ (1983)
Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, C. Thomas Howell, Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise in The Outsiders Everett
Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell) doesn’t have much in life, but he has just enough to get by. As a poor teenager in small-town Oklahoma, he belongs to the Greasers, a group of outsiders that includes his brothers Darry (Patrick Swayze) and Sodapop (Rob Lowe) and best friend Johnny (Ralph Macchio). When Ponyboy dares to start a romance with Cherry (Diane Lane), whose boyfriend belongs to a rival group, the affluent Socs, he unknowingly starts a turf war that will change his life — and those who he holds near and dear — forever.
Based on S.E. Hinton’s beloved 1967 young adult novel of the same name, The Outsiders was initially a victim of everyone’s high expectations. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who was still riding high from his ’70s masterpieces, and starring a cast full of then-newcomers, it wasn’t the outright classic everyone expected it to be. But time’s been kind to the flawed adaptation, with Howell, Lane and Macchio shining as players in a love story that’s doomed from the beginning. As fellow Greaser Steve Randle, Cruise stands out in a supporting role, playing a character whose bad-boy swagger intimidates his rivals and attracts girls from the right and wrong sides of the tracks.
‘The Firm’ (1993)
Tom Cruise in The Firm. Everett
Young lawyer Mitch McDeere (Cruise) didn’t have much growing up, which is why he accepted the generous job offer from a little-known Memphis firm right after he graduated from Harvard Law School. How could he risk a six-figure salary, a house in the suburbs and a new car? When Mitch discovers the firm is a front for the mob, he soon regrets his decision. But no one leaves the firm, at least not alive, and if he cooperates with the FBI and testifies against his employers, he’ll lose his law license and will have a target on his back for the rest of his life.
To anyone who says there are no movie stars left, Tom Cruise is living proof that’s not true. For the better part of four decades, Cruise has been a box-office draw like few others. Cruise has also starred in some truly terrific action movies over the years, and he’s got a new one out now. […]
Released in the summer of 1993, The Firm began Hollywood’s love affair with author John Grisham, whose bestselling legal thrillers have been adapted into various movies and TV shows over the last 23 years. The Firm remains the best of them, and that’s due to the sharp direction by old pro Sydney Pollack, a snappy, smart script by David Rabe, David Rayfiel and Robert Towne and an outstanding cast that includes (deep breath), Gene Hackman, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Gary Busey, Hal Holbrook, Wilford Brimley, David Strathairn and Holly Hunter, who earned an Oscar nomination for her spunky performance. It’s Cruise, though, who drives this film with an energy that’s both infectious and a little desperate. His Mitch is always one step ahead, but it takes work to outsmart both the feds and the mob, and Cruise isn’t afraid to show his character’s increasing desperation and eventual exhaustion.
In the run-up to the release of this year’s The End of Oak Street, there were rumors that the movie could be connected to the Cloverfield franchise. It was, after all, produced by J.J. Abrams. Additionally, the premise seemed primed for an installment of the anthology series, which had been dormant for several years. Eventually, it turned out that The End of Oak Street, Cloverfieldian as it may have been, was its own thing. Something similar happened around a decade ago, during the heyday of the superhero genre, when a mysterious sci-fi movie distributed by Sony was believed to be a secret Spider-Man spin-off centered on the character Venom. The movie in question is now headed to free streaming, where audiences can appreciate it for what it really is — an underrated thrill-ride in the vein of Ridley Scott‘s Alien.
The movie in question was released in 2017, the same year as Scott’s Alien: Covenant. However, it was rumored to be a lead-in for Sony’s upcoming Venom film starring Tom Hardy, which was slated for release in 2018. The movie starred a stellar ensemble featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Hiroyuki Sanada, and others. It was directed by Daniel Espinosa, who had previously worked with Reynolds on the action thriller Safe House, and would go on to make the ill-fated superhero film Morbius, starring Jared Leto. Part of the reason it was mistaken for a Venom movie was because Espinosa had directed Hardy previously, in a movie titled Child 44.
Here’s When You Can Watch the Star-Studded ‘Alien’ Clone for Free
However, Espinosa’s 2017 sci-fi film had nothing to do with Venom after all. We’re talking, of course, about Life. Produced on a reported budget of $58 million, the movie grossed $100 million at the global box office. It now holds a 67% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Life is just thrilling, well-acted, and capably filmed enough to overcome an overall inability to add new wrinkles to the trapped-in-space genre.” The movie will be added to the Tubi library this October. Interestingly, before Sony took it on, the movie was set up at Paramount, the home of the Cloverfield series. Fans of the franchise will know that Paramount made its own Alien-inspired Cloverfield installment, The Cloverfield Paradox, which was then offloaded to Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

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

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

“American Horror Story” may have assembled its most stacked cast ever for Season 13, but one scene from the premiere is already getting ripped apart online. The episode introduces a man terrified of the number 13, his Taylor Swift-obsessed girlfriend, and her 13 closest friends before sending them aboard a plane that appears to be going down. A clip of the sequence has been making the rounds on social media, where viewers have described the writing as “corny,” “weird,” and comparable to a “bad TV movie.”
‘AHS 13’ Introduces A Man Terrified Of The Number 13
Episode 1 introduces viewers to Ben, played by Joey Pollari, a well-mannered hospice worker living with triskaidekaphobia, which is the fear of the number 13. That condition immediately puts him at odds with his girlfriend, Kira, played by “Riverdale” alum Madelaine Petsch.
Kira is a devoted Swiftie whose love of the number 13 appears to dominate nearly every part of her personality. The reference connects her to Taylor Swift, who has frequently discussed the number’s significance throughout her life and career.
Despite his deep discomfort with the number, Ben reluctantly agrees to accompany Kira and her 13 best friends on a birthday trip built entirely around the very thing he fears. His decision quickly appears to backfire when their plane begins to experience serious trouble.
The setup seems designed to establish the season’s obsession with the number 13 while mixing horror with deliberately heightened humor. However, the combination did not land with everyone who encountered the scene online.
Viral Scene Leaves Viewers Asking If It Is ‘Real’
Once a clip of the plane sequence began circulating, social media users wasted no time tearing into it. “This season is so corny,” one viewer wrote. Another person appeared stunned that the scene had made it into the finished episode, asking, “someone pls tell me this is not real.”
The criticism only grew harsher from there. “This sucks lmao,” one reaction read, while somebody else declared, “Season sucks already.” Another viewer compared the scene to a lower-budget production, writing, “This is like a bad TV movie.”
Others were equally baffled by the episode’s tone. One person simply commented, “This is so weird,” while another slammed the creative choices as “Insanely bad at writing.”
Ryan Murphy Says The Season Is Bigger Than ‘Coven’
Before the premiere, speculation centered heavily on whether the new installment would revisit “Coven.” Photographs from the New York City set seemed to support that theory, especially since several fan-favorite performers returned to the franchise.
However, co-creator Ryan Murphy previously insisted that “Coven” represents only one part of a much bigger story. “Everybody thinks it’s a ‘Coven’ season and it’s not. It’s all the seasons,” Murphy told Entertainment Tonight.
The producer then revealed just how ambitious the crossover would be. “Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters… It is like the Avengers. They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
Jessica Lange And Other Fan Favorites Return
The Season 13 cast includes several of the franchise’s biggest names, including Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, and Sarah Paulson. Lange’s return is particularly significant because she stepped away from the anthology after “Freak Show” in 2014. She later reprised her “Murder House” character, Constance Langdon, for “Apocalypse” in 2018, but had repeatedly indicated that she did not intend to make another comeback.
According to Murphy, the Season 13 concept was strong enough to change her mind. “As soon as I pitched it to them, many of them had said ‘no’ over the years, they were like, ‘Well, OK, I’ve gotta come back for that’,” he explained.
Murphy recalled Lange having a similar reaction when she heard what he had planned. “But I pitched Jessica Lange, and she was like, ‘Oh sh-t, now I gotta do it,’” he said.
Ryan Murphy Spent Years Planning ‘13’
The show’s creator has made it clear that the number 13 is far more than a title. “It’s all of them in one season and it’s 13 episodes because it’s called ‘13’,” Murphy shared. “I spent many, many months and many years writing it. I wanted to do 13 in a special way.”
With Lange, Paulson, Peters, Roberts and Bassett involved, Season 13 still has plenty of star power waiting in the wings. The bigger question is whether the promised “Avengers” of the “American Horror Story” universe can overcome a premiere moment that some viewers have already labeled a major creative crash.
Adam22 ruffled some feathers online following his latest sit-down interview with media personality Jason Lee. During their conversation, the two discussed Blueface’s relationships and how things have unfolded co-parenting-wise with Nevaeh Akira following his past with Chrisean Rock
Adam22 said he felt the situation had already reached a low point before making claims about Chrisean and her son.
“I really didn’t think it could get any worse than Chrisean having a baby that is obviously the product of fetal alcohol syndrome…I believe Chrisean should be in prison,” Adam said.
When Jason Lee asked why, Adam22 continued criticizing Chrisean while discussing her alleged behavior during pregnancy. He also called her “the lowest of the low scum of the earth when it comes to this culture.” His comments quickly sparked conversation online, with Chrisean eventually stepping in to shut down the claims.

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