The Real Housewives of New York City’s season 16 newbie Hailey Glassman had an outrageous connection to reality TV long before she joined the Bravoverse.

PR pro Glassman is one of three new fulltime cast members joining RHONY in another pseudo-reboot of the Bravo series, following the departures from Brynn Whitfield, Ubah Hassan, Racquel Chevremont and Jenna Lyons. Glassman’s fellow RHONY newcomers include celebrity fitness trainer Erika Hammond and makeup artist Daisy Toye, plus returning cast members Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy and Jessel Taank, as well as Carole Radziwill as a “friend of the Housewives.”

Glassman first gained notoriety in 2009 when she started dating Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin shortly after his split from wife, Kate Gosselin. The relationship was controversial at the time because Hailey’s father, Dr. Lawrence Glassman, had previously performed Kate’s tummy tuck for free.

Hailey and Jon’s relationship was short-lived and she later made a series of very public digs about him, including mocking the size of his anatomy.

When it comes to love, former reality star Jon Gosselin has certainly experienced his share of ups and downs. Jon was married to ex-wife Kate Gosselin, with whom he shares eight children, from 1999 until the pair’s divorce in 2009. Though the Gosselins’ marriage came to an end amid accusations Jon had ben unfaithful, he […]

Hailey Glassman’s Father Performed Kate Gosselin’s Tummy Tuck

Hailey Glassman’s father, plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Glassman, brought her into Jon Gosselin’s orbit before they officially started dating. Jon’s ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, has confirmed that Lawrence reached out to her after seeing her complain on her TLC show about having the “jowls of a dog,” or excess skin on her midsection, due to her C-section procedures.

“A plastic surgeon’s wife happened to see that hour special and she begged her husband to do my tummy tuck for free,” Kate revealed in a 2025 Facebook video shared by Glassman Plastic Surgery. “She always said, ‘I didn’t need one so I asked him to give mine to [Kate].’ That’s what happened.”

She confirmed, “Dr. Glassman did my tummy tuck. [His wife] contacted me through our production company somehow … I literally screamed at the top of my lungs. I never even thought about a tummy tuck. I never even thought it was possible because I knew we couldn’t afford it. The possibility of it was amazing.”

Controversy Over Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman’s Dating Timeline

Jon and Kate Gosselin announced that they were ending their marriage during a June 22, 2009, episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8.

“I tried to contemplate [our marriage] and think about it,” Jon said during the episode. “It’s just not good… for us to be arguing in front of our kids.”

Later in the episode, he told the cameras, “I’m hurt by all of this, but I’m excited and hurt at the same time because I have a new chapter in my life. I’m only 32-years-old and I really don’t know what’s going to happen.”

There were reports days later that Jon had already started a new relationship with Hailey Glassman. In August 2009, the PR guru addressed the awkward timeline of her new relationship with E! News by clarifying that Jon and Kate were separated for “months” before she started seeing him in May 2009.

“Jon and Kate have moved on with their lives — it’s only the viewers who haven’t moved on,” she demanded.

In October 2009, she told The Insider that “Kate wouldn’t say I was a home wrecker.”

“I have respect for [Kate],” Hailey stressed. “She’s like a lioness protecting her cubs. That’s her turf.”

Hailey Glassman Called Jon Gosselin Her ‘First Love’

In her E! News interview, Hailey Glassman said that she considered Jon Gosselin to be her “first love.”

“I’m not some celebrity, I’m not some famous person — I’m just a 22-year-old girl who got caught in the middle of all this,” she said. “Take my 15 minutes, you can have it back.”

Jon Gosselin Was Accused of Cheating on Hailey Glassman

Jon Gosselin was spotted with Star reporter Kate Major in New York City in July 2009 but he insisted that he was only friends with Major.

“My heart is always with Hailey,” Jon exclusively told Us Weekly that same month.

Major disputed his comments during an August 2009 interview with CBS News, claiming that she felt “badly for [Hailey] that she doesn’t know the truth.”

“I don’t have a lot of respect for [Jon],” Major insisted. “I think he handled the situation very poorly. He did not act like an adult or a grown man or a father. And it’s just sad. I think the fame has just gone to his head and he’s on some bachelor romp.”

Hailey publicly took Jon’s side at the time, calling Major “cuckoo” during an interview with E! News in August 2009.

“I know what Jon tells me and I know him,” she insisted.

Hailey Glassman and Jon Gosselin Split in October 2009

Us Weekly reported in October 2009 that Hailey Glassman and Jon Gosselin had split after a whirlwind five-month romance. Days earlier, Glassman had told The Insider that she “shouldn’t have to put up with being emotionally abused.”

“We’re at a point now where I don’t know why I love him,” she told the TV show on October 28, 2009. “He gets frustrated and angry and I’m the one who gets the brunt. He’ll call me and take his anger out on me. He has ‘mantrums.’”

Later in the interview, she complained, “I cry and say why are you so mean to me? He takes it out on me. He talks over me so I can’t speak. Sometimes he has trouble with the truth and he will dance and dance around his lies. He’s like Jekyll and Hyde. But I still love him.”

Jon responded to Hailey’s allegations by telling The Insider that his ex-girlfriend “paid a significant price to live under such a media microscope.”

“I am grateful for her emotional support and I regret any pain that my actions have caused her as she has selflessly born the pressures I have endured under the media glare,” he went on. “I am committed to making things right with Hailey as well as Kate and especially my children. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself.”

Hailey Glassman Mocked Jon Gosselin’s Anatomy

In February 2010, Hailey Glassman took a shot at the size of her ex-boyfriend Jon Gosselin’s anatomy.

“He was so small I didn’t think he would cheat on me,” she told Steppin Out magazine. “He’s hung like a 9-year-old boy. I’m serious. This is true.”

Hailey alleged that “anybody who sleeps with him will notice” the size, adding, “It’s very noticeable. It’s so tiny, tiny, tiny.”

The PR agent recalled Jon getting upset when she broached the subject matter with him once.

“He said, ‘You know how subconscious [SIC] I am of down there,’” she remembered. “I would tell him to his face, ‘I don’t think you would cheat on me because you’re so small.’ I would tell him that all the time.”

Jon never publicly responded to Hailey’s insults about his anatomy. He subsequently married his second wife, Stephanie Lebo, in 2025.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the Bridgerton Season 4 finale.

After waiting weeks for Bridgerton‘s Part 2 return, Season 4 has come to an end in a game-changing way for the franchise. The jam-packed finale concluded on an emotional rollercoaster, from the reveal of a new Lady Whistledown (still voiced by the iconic Julie Andrews) to Violet (Ruth Gemmell) breaking her relationship off with Marcus (Daniel Francis). While there are a lot of plot threads for the show to continue juggling, Season 4 leads Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) bookend this chapter with another sweet kiss — but what about their fairytale wedding fans have been waiting weeks for?

If you thought comic book or video game adaptations were the only projects doing post-credit scenes, think again. Following in the footsteps of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Fallout Season 2, Bridgerton joins the trend with a surprise scene after the finale credits. While it may seem like a strange choice, the moment wraps a perfect bow on the season as a whole that’ll leave Benophie fans smiling from ear to ear.

What Happens in the ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Finale After the Credits?

After the credits roll on the Bridgerton Season 4 finale, the episode cuts to My Cottage, Benedict’s not-so-little hideaway from Part 1, where he and Sophie previously earned a glimpse of what their life could be like together. Friends and family are gathered for their wedding, which sees the return of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Bridgerton (Simone Ashley) after their brief appearances in Episode 6. Initially, Anthony is completely against Benedict and Sophie’s relationship because of what society would think of a nobleman and a maid being together. The eldest Bridgerton son is ultimately redeemed in the Bridgerton Season 4 end-credits scene, with Anthony expressing gratitude that his brother didn’t listen to him before adding that their late father would be proud of Benedict, just like he is.

Sophie then begins to walk down the aisle with her trusty friend, Alfie (David Moorst), by her side. As Benedict and Sophie officially become husband and wife, the episode ends with a shot of Benedict’s now-finished painting of Sophie as the Lady in Silver. It’s a perfectly heartwarming conclusion to the season, which is exactly what showrunner Jess Brownell wanted. In an interview with The Wrap, she revealed that the wedding was supposed to come before the credits, but she felt like the finale was already a lot for audiences to digest, hence the decision to move the moment to a end-credits scene. As Brownell added:

“It did feel important for us to see our Cinderella figure get her proper happy ending. And I think that wedding does it all.”

Which Bridgerton Siblings Will Lead Seasons 5 and 6?

The first Bridgerton end-credits scene also looks ahead to the series’ future. While the eldest brothers share a heartwarming moment, Kate questions whose wedding they might attend next. After spending most of the series trying to avoid the marriage mart, Eloise surprises everyone by saying she loves a wedding — but clarifies she only enjoys it as an attendee. Penelope Bridgerton (Nicola Coughlan) then questions if Francesca Stirling (Hannah Dodd) sees herself remarrying after the tragic passing of John Stirling (Victor Alli). Francesca says she’s already had her great love and that “one time was enough,” to which the camera focuses on Violet smiling, knowing full well that finding love again is possible after a great loss.

Now that the first four Bridgerton siblings have had their seasons in the spotlight, there are still four other siblings left to lead the series’ upcoming installments. During the red carpet premiere for Bridgerton Season 4, Brownell teased which characters would headline Seasons 5 and 6 by wearing two pocket squares with the initials E and F embroidered on them. She confirmed to Deadline that “both characters with the initials on my pocket squares will get seasons in five [and] six. In what order? I can’t say.” With Bridgerton Seasons 5 and 6 officially confirmed, gentle viewers will be anticipating it with bated breath — but if fans can rest certain in anything, it’s that the show will always prioritize a happy ending, even if the moment happens a little later than expected.

In the second half of Community‘s original run on NBC, “Six Seasons and a Movie” became not only the mantra of the show’s fans, but also the series itself. The phrase was both a goal and a promise, to tell the story of Greendale Community College’s most infamous study group over the course of six TV seasons and a feature film. Against all odds (and with a little help from Yahoo’s short-live streaming venture), we got the six seasons, and now we’re just waiting for the movie.

Peacock announced Community: The Movie a couple of years ago, and it was due to begin production after the SAG and WGA strikes, Unfortunately, that production start never happened, and fans are still waiting to see if the film will actually come to fruition. What we know now, though, is that the post-strikes delay was due to one key member of the cast having a conflict, and Community remains committed to keeping the entire ensemble together. In other words, the Community movie knows exactly what it needs to be, and nobody is settling for less.

The delays that have plagued Community‘s movie have undoubtedly been frustrating, but there is definitely a silver lining to the entire situation: Dan Harmon and his creative cohorts know that the cast needs to be together for this to work. Community writer Andrew Guest recently appeared on a new episode of The Watch podcast and confirmed that the movie was “close to shooting” after the strikes in 2023, but one cast member had a conflict that would’ve kept them from having their intended role. Rather than changing anything in the script to make a deadline, the entire movie was pushed to make sure everyone could be a part of it.

Community’s razor-sharp, years-ahead-of-its-time writing is a big reason the show has left such a lasting mark on its fans, but the biggest reason is absolutely the show’s perfect ensemble. Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ken Jeong, Jim Rash, and Donald Glover all need to have substantial parts to play in the film for it to actually be a worthwhile continuation of the series. Based on what Guest had to say, it sounds like that remains the goal.

Keeping the Study Group Together

The first three seasons of Community featured the entire core cast on a consistent basis, with Chevy Chase rounding out the aforementioned list of stars. Chase was written out of the show entirely, Glover’s Troy was sent off to another college in Season 5, and Brown only made a few appearances in Season 6. Chase’s character exit made sense, but the breaking up of the group beyond Pierce left a void with fans that the show tried a few different ways to fill.

No offense to anyone who came into the show in Seasons 5 and 6, because many of them did a great job helping Community stay quirky and fresh. Keith David and Paget Brewster did an particularly solid job aiding Community across the finish line. But no matter how good they were, the study group never felt the same without Troy and Shirley.

The duo of Troy and Abed is especially important to making the Community movie work. There have been rumblings that the script is about a Greendale reunion and Abed trying to put a film together about their lives. In what world would Abed make a movie about Greendale without Troy being a part of it? There has been no word about Glover’s schedule being an issue or anything like that; this is simply one example of the dynamics of the study group that can be thrown off if everyone isn’t back together.

Community is exactly as its title implies, it’s about the sum being a wonderful culmination of its eccentric parts. It’s refreshing to know that, unlike many other reboots and revivals, the Community creative team isn’t satisfied with anything less than what made it special in the first place.
