2611 Us Weekly Cover Digital No Chip Traitors

Are you a Faithful or a Traitor — or just obsessed with Peacock’s latest reality TV megahit? Here at Us Weekly, we’re 100 percent faithful to the only game show that pits Housewives against “gamers” and actual Olympians, with hosting duties carried out by the ever-glamorous Alan Cumming (who’s won four Emmys for his trouble).

Season 4 of The Traitors upped the ante with new twists and turns, leading to perhaps the most savage finale in Ardross Castle history. To recap: After banishing figure skater Johnny Weir, the final four — Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski, K-pop star Eric Nam and Love Island USA’s Rob Rausch — convened for their last vote. Rob, a Traitor from the beginning, had recruited Eric to his side late in the game after the banishments of original Traitors Donna Kelce, Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett, while Maura and Tara were the last two Faithfuls standing.

After the group unceremoniously banished Tara, Rob mercilessly played his last two costars against each other, convincing them both that he planned to go all the way with them and split the cash prize. Unbeknownst to Maura, this wasn’t possible, as he was a Traitor all along, while Eric was collateral damage in Rob’s scorched-earth plan to convince Maura she could trust him. The season ended with Rob coming out on top, winning $220,800 after throwing all of his allies under the bus.

Shortly after the cast taped this year’s reunion, Us Weekly sat down with Rob, Maura, Eric, Tara and late lamented gamer Natalie Anderson to unpack season’s 4 cold-blooded betrayals — and got the bottom of whether the smoked salmon was really that good.

A Snake in the Grass

Rob is the first Traitor and first solo player to win the show since Survivor legend Cirie Fields, also a Traitor, in season 1. Viewers — and some costars — initially underestimated the Alabaman snake wrangler as a smooth-brained himbo, but it soon became clear that his gameplay was some of the best Ardross Castle has ever seen.

Rob Rausch: I wanted to be a Traitor when they explained the rules to me. I clearly realized that the Traitors have every single piece of information that you need to win the game. It just comes down to your skill set. Like, there’s no excuse to lose the game if you’re a Traitor.
Maura Higgins: [When you see me find out Rob is a Traitor], you can clearly see I am in total disbelief. I’m in shock. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like that ever in my life. I genuinely always have something to say, and I just froze. I couldn’t even speak. I kept thinking, “I’m waiting for him to say, ‘Joking!’” I genuinely thought, “OK, this has gone on too long. Just tell me you’re joking now.” And he just didn’t say it. And then it finally sunk in, and I was just genuinely in shock. I just believed he was a Faithful the whole time.
Eric Nam: I was so sad and angry [when Rob admitted it]. More than anything, I was just really disappointed, because Rob and I had built a rapport in our relationship — not just when I became a Traitor, but from the beginning. Once I became a Traitor, that only became stronger, and it was kind of like we were able to communicate without even using words. And I was like, “You know what? We’re good. I think we’re gonna be fine.” And then when he turned, I felt so dumb and stupid and honestly disappointed, but at the same time, I’m like, “You know what? Great gameplay, great game.” He was a snake. I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. When you’re in this game and you’re immersed for so long, sometimes you forget that people are still here to play the game. And I think perhaps I trusted him a little too much.
Rob: [Before the final vote], Maura came to me and made me promise to her that I was going to vote Eric out because she thought he was a Traitor. And that’s when I was like, “OK, I have to do this.” Because yes, given the opportunity, I’m going to take the money for myself. I love Eric. He’s a great guy. But at the end of the day, he’s a stranger. I knew him for three weeks. Like, what are we talking about? … It just wasn’t a risk I was willing to take — I had the game locked up. Why would I not just finish out strong?
Maura: In my head, I kept thinking like, “Oh, my God, imagine if it was Rob. But then what if he is a Faithful and then I turn on him, and then I have the biggest regret and I’ve trusted him the whole way through the show? Am I really gonna turn on him now and not believe him?” I just genuinely believed he was a Faithful. I think he played a fantastic game, and he is an incredible liar.

It Was All a Game

Rob betrayed all of his allies on his path to victory, while Tara and Natalie let their sniping with each other get in the way of an organized strike. So how is everyone feeling now?

Tara Lipinski: I love Natalie! And now we have kept in touch and formed a really nice relationship.
Natalie Anderson: I feel like [Tara and I] could have done something and we could have won. But it doesn’t make it super personal.
Rob: Me and Eric are cool. Eric understands it’s a game. He said it took him a few days, but he got over it, and we’re cool. [With Maura], she took it like a champ, and she said she would have done the same thing, but it was hard because she really trusted me.
Eric: We’re good. It took a day or two for me to be like, “Wow, that was a crazy experience. And I can’t believe that I once again trusted somebody and I got completely stabbed in the back.” But Rob sent me a message after filming, and I think it just said, like, “My fault, G,” and I was like, “That’s just him.” At the end of the day, it’s a game, and I can’t be mad at him for playing a really good game. We’re friends, we’ve remained friends, we will stay friends. And I’m really happy for him.
Maura: Me and Tara are absolutely fine. We talk all the time. [With Rob], I’m not taking it to heart. It’s not real life to me — he was chosen as a Traitor. He’s not allowed to tell anyone, and he played an incredible game, so I can’t be mad at that. I can only be mad at myself for trusting the wrong person. He told me he’s going to get me a gift, which is going to be a Birkin handbag. So when he gets that, then he’s fully forgiven.
Rob: That is in the works. I’m in cahoots with Lisa. She said she could probably get my foot in the door so I can buy one. It’s proving way more difficult than I thought it would be.

Know Your Enemy — Or Don’t

Traitors contestants prepare for the game in various ways — watching old episodes, or in Dorinda Medley’s case, reading The Art of War — but season 4’s finalists took a somewhat more laid-back approach to the process.

Rob: I attempted to watch an episode with my best friend, and I just couldn’t get into it. I’ve been on Love Island, so I realized what you see is only a fraction of the whole story anyway, so I knew it wouldn’t really help me in the long run. This is a game that is completely based on the people you’re with and the connections you make and understanding those people, so there’s really no point in making a strategy until you’re in the game.
Tara: I watched season 3, but no other preparation! I never thought it would be as hard as it was. I made friends with everyone, and it was very hard for me to switch to harsh gameplay and not just follow my heart.
Natalie: I obviously studied the game.
Eric: When you get to the castle, you realize that unless you’re a Traitor, you really can’t have much strategy. The Faithful are so blind we have no idea what’s going on, and production does such a good job of keeping us completely confused the entire time that it’s really, really hard to have a strategy.
Rob: [Early in the game], we were going after people who were intellectually threatening, pretty much the people that I thought were the smartest and that could put two and two together — people that didn’t trust me. Like Mark [Ballas], Natalie — we left a lot of people in the game that I thought were very smart and strategic, but I think that they were blinded by our relationship to a degree that it wasn’t a risk to keep them in the game. Kristen [Kish] as well. There were quite a few people that were very smart that trusted me.
Maura: I had no strategy. I’m not gonna lie about it — I had zero strategy. I was learning every single day I was in there, and I was just like, “You know what? I’m gonna go in, serve some looks, hopefully stay in maybe for a week, make some friends and that’s it.”
Eric: [Maura] literally did nothing. Maura Higgins is that bitch, because she can literally do whatever she wants, and she’s fine — she was always protected. She literally would just be carried everywhere. We would just look at each other like, “We’re so f***ing good at this game.” And I was like, “Maura, you might be the best player, because you haven’t done a single thing, you haven’t lifted a finger, and somehow you’re in the final.”

100 Percent Salmon

Viewers usually don’t see much of what the contestants are eating, but this season, the smoked salmon served at breakfast became such a hot topic that it became a plot point on the show. So we had to ask: Was it really that good?

Eric: I don’t think there’s anything great about the smoked salmon. The issue is that we start shooting very early, and all the foods are cold, right? That breakfast is cold, the croissants are stale, the eggs are cold, everything is cold. And the only thing that’s acceptable to eat cold really, to me, is smoked salmon, and it’s the only form of protein outside of just a bowl of watery, hard-boiled eggs. There’s no seasoning or flavoring in Scottish food. So to have a kick of omega-3 and some salt via smoked salmon I think is what really got people so excited.
Natalie: The salmon was just something that was the best probably at the breakfast table. It was good, but not compared to good salmon, like if you go to New York City and you go to a good deli and you get a nice lox and cream cheese bagel.
Maura: I don’t think it was that good. Because the breakfast was so bad, that was the only kind of good thing we had, and because we didn’t have a lot of it, it was the one thing that we all wanted. The boiled eggs were cold, the toast was hard and cold. I can’t believe it became such a thing as well. Especially me, in every single episode, all I’m doing is eating. There’s companies DMing me offering to send me smoked salmon.

Castle Hindsight Is 20/20

It’s easy to play armchair Faithful from the comfort of your couch, but it’s a lot harder when you’re actually in the castle. Does anyone have regrets?

Tara: It would have been nice if Johnny and I had another Faithful to join our little alliance earlier, but we understand it was hard for anyone to trust anyone in the castle, so that was probably an unlikely hope to begin with! But no regrets — I tried my absolute best throughout the game.
Maura: I genuinely don’t take it that seriously, and I’m not a serious person. I’ve seen a few comments like, “Maura is the dumbest person in there,” but it’s so easy for them to say they know who the Traitors are. Like, it’s not that easy when you’re in there! It’s actually really, really difficult. But yeah, I wasn’t upset [about the ending] at all. I was actually very proud of myself for getting as far as I did. My advice for anyone that’s going to do The Traitors is don’t watch the show. Just go in and don’t have a strategy and just wing it, because it worked for me. I know that I trusted the wrong person, but at least I got to the final and I wasn’t murdered. Brilliant.
Natalie: My biggest regret is not playing a harder game. I could have put some of the worries about being targeted away, even though it was scary because they were killing us left and right as gamers, so it made it harder for me to be myself. But I should have just embraced that and just been like, “Listen, if you’re going to get murdered or banished, it’s better to just try.” … I should have just depended on myself, basically.
Rob: Murdering Mark was a tough one, because I really got close to Mark, and having to see his face right after was a tough one. And I think he knew [I was a Traitor]. I think he had figured it out, and so that’s how I know it was the right choice to make.
Eric: I would have been a little more wary of like, “OK, maybe Rob will stab you in the back.” It would have been a very complex thing to try to pull one over on him, because he had so much trust in the castle … but maybe I would have played it differently.

Making Lala Proud

Even if they didn’t come out on top, the cast can still hang their capes on their proudest moments in the castle.

Rob: I’m only thinking about the game and how it’s going to work out for me to win. I was there to win a game. I was not there for screen time or anything like that. I wanted to play and win.
Tara: It’s not the best gameplay strategy, but I’m proud that I played the game with my heart and stayed true to myself. I am not a reality star, and it was important to me that I stayed authentic to myself and played with integrity. I made a lot of friends in the castle, and I loved building those relationships.
Eric: My goal was just to have fun. This is the most random side quest I could have ever taken on. And more than anything, I just really wanted to leave an interesting impression on America. I’m American, I was born and raised here, but I had to go to Korea to build a career, because there’s just not a lot of people that look like me doing these things. And so I was like, “OK, I want to do this in a way that’s impactful, and then hopefully we can introduce the music and the multiple films and all the other things that I have going on in an interesting way.” And so from that perspective, I think it’s been fun and successful. And then the other part was like, I really just wanted to make good TV.
Natalie: I’m proud of being an asset. One of the best moments for me was when we were dividing up into teams for the statue challenge. Yam Yam [Arocho] goes, “Alright, so let’s make the strongest people captains,” and they picked me, Colton [Underwood], Rob and Stephen [Colletti]. It’s a different feeling for me — having people just be like, “Natalie’s one of the strongest, stronger than some of the guys. And we’re not going to argue with that.” That, for me, is amazing.
Maura: I’m just proud that I made it as far as I did. To be the last woman standing, I never would have thought that in a million years. I never watched the show. I got to wear all my outfits, and I’m probably getting a Birkin handbag. So, win-win.

The Traitors is now streaming on Peacock.

Pink is being eyed to take over Kelly Clarkson‘s spot on her NBC talk show, according to a new report.

The “American Idol” alum is closing out “The Kelly Clarkson Show” after 7 seasons this fall, and a source tells Page Six that producers see her fitting in as a permanent replacement. The insider says … “She’s been guest-hosting and it seems she’s doing very well, and that’s the plan.”

No word on where in the process Pink is. TMZ has reached out to her reps for comment … so far, no word back.

The “So What” singer is scheduled to guest-host for Kelly for a week beginning Monday.

Pink has reportedly moved to the city after spending several weeks in the Big Apple last summer. She’s lived on a 25-acre vineyard in California with her husband, Carey Hart, and their children for several years.

The new report comes after People magazine claimed she and Carey were heading to splitsville after 20 years of marriage … Pink responded to the rumor on social media by calling it “fake news.”

Matlock Throws Shade at David Del Rio’s Exit After Sexual Assault Claims

Published

Matlock found a way to subtly throw shade at David Del Rio‘s exit as Billy after offscreen allegations of sexual assault.

The CBS show returned on Thursday, February 26, with Sarah (Leah Lewis) and Matty (Kathy Bates) meeting with HR representative Gwen Easton (Sarah Wright-Olsen), who asked about Billy’s absence.

“Out sick. Very, very sick. Vomiting,” Sarah said, to which Gwen joked, “Yay, so no need for him to return! Job eliminated. …. Kidding again! It was nice to meet you two.”

Gwen also floated the idea of one of the three people working for Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) being on the chopping block. “Could she make do with two people if one of you takes the generous severance package being offered?” she asked.

Del Rio, 38, has been absent from the show since news broke in October 2025 about an alleged incident involving him and his then-costar Lewis, which took place one month prior. Del Rio was “fired and escorted off the lot the same day the alleged assault was reported,” according to reports released at the time.

Lewis, 29, broke her silence at the time by sharing a photo with her mother from set.

“Mom is here, we’re moving forward in love and strength. I’m in good hands,” she wrote via Instagram in October. “Thank you to everybody for any kind of support and care. Truly, we’re moving forward in strength. Key word, strength. Please, let that be the take away.”

David’s wife, meanwhile, posted Instagram Stories calling Lewis a “disturbing human being” before deleting them hours later.

Before the scandal, Del Rio spoke to Us Weekly in May 2025 about how the show would be committing to the paternity twist involving his character, Billy. “I’m really excited to see how Billy handles the work balance with the personal balance of it all,” he shared before the season 2 premiere. (His character was written off in the midseason finale when Billy found out his girlfriend miscarried.)

Lewis also weighed in on what was awaiting Sarah in season 2 during the joint interview.

“I remember reading the finale and hoping at the end that Sarah was going to get away scot free with this wonderful victory. Of course the thing happens with Simone and she might need to take accountability,” Lewis hinted. “To be honest, this is where we really get to see if Sarah can step up to the plate for the thing that she has been begging for, asking for and working so hard for. You want to get treated like a big dog. We’ll start acting like a big dog. I feel like this season we’ll definitely probably get to see her mature a bit more on that aspect. Her professional win is not over yet.”

While David has yet to address his firing, Us confirmed in December 2025 that CBS reopened its investigation into the incident.

“David has provided evidence, including text messages between David and Leah and names of witnesses who are willing to talk,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this month. “In light of the evidence, the investigation was reopened.”

The insider claimed Del Rio “has evidence and witnesses that he believes could disprove Leah’s allegation,” adding, “David’s team believes he was fired without appropriate due process or a proper investigation.”

The network’s supplemental investigation concluded earlier this month with CBS standing by their original decision to dismiss Del Rio from the show.

Matlock airs on CBS Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Benny Blanco is well aware his feet have gone viral after a recent podcast taping showed his bare tootsies were absolutely filthy … but he says he’s really not the Peanuts’ Pig-Pen.

The record producer dropped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday, along with Lil Dicky, to talk about their new “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast … which is already a hit thanks to BB’s filthy bare feet on the pilot episode.

Benny defended his dogs … saying Dicky’s floors were dirty, and that’s the reason why his feet were so nasty. He then took off a boot and his sock to show Jimmy, and viewers, his feet are pretty clean.

Of course, it wasn’t just haters coming at Benny … others suggested he could make some decent dough if he posted snaps of his dirty feet and sold them on fetish websites … something Kimmel also brought up.

Friends Keep Secrets

It makes sense … after the podcast moment went viral, his feet made it onto wikiFeet — a website where all lovers of the foot can gather to rate feet … Benny has an overall score of 3/5.

Lisa Rinna is stirring up Hollywood chatter once again. During a recent late-night appearance, the former reality star made a bold claim involving two of the industry’s most recognizable leading men and her own daughters.

What began as a lighthearted game quickly turned into a headline-grabbing moment, as Rinna alleged that Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire once showed interest in her model girls, igniting fresh debate about age gaps and celebrity dating patterns.

Lisa Rinna Says Leonardo DiCaprio And Tobey Maguire Reached Out

MEGA

During a playful segment called “Trait-ing, Truth and Falsehoods,” the topic shifted to DiCaprio and Maguire, and Rinna did not hold back.

She claimed the “Titanic” star “hit up” her daughters and added that “so did Tobey Maguire.” The comment immediately stood out, especially given the actors’ ages.

DiCaprio, 51, and Maguire, 50, are roughly three decades older than Rinna’s daughters, Delilah, who is 27, and Amelia, 24.

Rinna then suggested that the attention wasn’t unusual in their world, remarking per the Daily Mail, “A lot of ’em have hit the girls [up], as you know.”

While she did not share details about when or where the alleged interactions took place, the statement alone was enough to spark buzz.

Delilah and Amelia Hamlin have built impressive modeling careers, working with major brands like SKIMS, Guess, and Versace.

Lisa Rinna’s remarks also revived long-running conversations about DiCaprio and Maguire’s personal lives.

Both actors launched their careers in the 1990s and have remained fixtures in Hollywood ever since.

DiCaprio has frequently been linked to younger models. He is currently dating 27-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, who is 24 years younger than him.

Over the years, he has dated several high-profile women, including Gisele Bündchen, Blake Lively, Bar Refaeli, and Gigi Hadid.

On the other hand, Maguire was married to jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer from 2007 until 2016. The former couple shares two children, Otis and Ruby. Meyer, now 48, is expecting her third child with fiancé Geoffrey Ogunlesi.

Lisa Rinna’s Daughters Also Navigate High-Profile Age-Gap Relationships

Rinna’s daughters have experienced their own share of headline-making romances, particularly when it comes to age differences.

Amelia previously dated Scott Disick from 2020 to 2021. Disick, who is 18 years her senior, shares three children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign, with Kourtney Kardashian. Their relationship drew heavy media attention during its run.

Nearly five years after that relationship ended, Amelia is now dating 31-year-old Nicolai Marciano, heir to the Guess Inc. fashion empire, and the pair made their red carpet debut in November 2025.

Meanwhile, her sister Delilah has been romantically linked to Eyal Booker from 2019 to 2021 and Aidan Reilly in 2014.

Rinna Speaks Candidly About Her Husband’s Sexuality

Lisa Rinna’s latest revelation comes after she finally addressed the longstanding rumors about her husband, Harry Hamlin’s sexuality, shutting them down in her new memoir “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It” and making her stance “crystal clear.”

As The Blast reported, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum revealed that her husband is “heterosexual” and insisted he is not gay “in any way, shape or form.”

Rinna also noted that there’s nothing wrong with being gay. She suggested the speculation began after Harry starred as a gay man in the 1982 film “Making Love,” explaining that the role was “brave” but also led some to assume it reflected his personal life.

The 62-year-old said she first noticed rumors intensifying when she joined “RHOBH” in 2014 and called much of the chatter ridiculous, emphasizing that her husband’s sexuality has never been in question between them.

Lisa Rinna Reveals Who Her Biggest Bully In Hollywood Is

Rinna also revealed in her new memoir that the person she considers the “biggest bully in Hollywood” wasn’t a “Real Housewives” castmate.

Instead, it is her former “Days of Our Lives” co-star, Robert Kelker-Kelly, who she says made her life “a living hell” on set in the early 1990s.

According to The Blast, the actress wrote that while she and Kelker-Kelly’s characters had a passionate on-screen romance, behind the scenes, the dynamic was hostile, with her co-star allegedly acting “verbally abusive, passive-aggressive, manipulative” and playing “weird mind games.”

Rinna claimed that if she didn’t do what he wanted during scenes, sometimes while filming love scenes, he would give her the silent treatment and be unpredictable, calling him “a ticking time bomb” who left her exhausted and emotionally drained.

The tension was so pronounced that Rinna says NBC even provided a security detail for her and another cast member after Kelker-Kelly abruptly disappeared from the show.

Andy Cohen Shares Heartfelt Message to Mary Cosby After Her Son’s Death

Andy Cohen shared a touching message to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby following the death of her son Robert Cosby Jr.

At the end of the Thursday, February 26, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Cohen, 57, directed heartfelt words to Mary and her family as they continue to grieve the loss of Robert Jr.

“Before we go, I want to send all my love and heartfelt condolences to Mary Cosby and her family after news broke yesterday about the tragic passing of Mary’s son Robert Jr. This devastatingly sad news is every parent’s worst nightmare,” Cohen said. “My heart breaks for Mary. I will always appreciate getting a small window into the unconditional love between Mary and Robert Jr.”

Cohen went on to praise Mary, 53, for the way she dealt with her son’s struggles over the years, saying, “Mary, you did such a good job.”

The Bravo personality then publicly thanked both the mother and son duo for sharing their story so openly, which he believes will assist others fighting the same battle.

“I know their bravery and their vulnerability in sharing their story has helped and will continue to help countless people who are struggling,” Cohen continued. “Rest in peace Robert Jr. and thanks.”

Us Weekly confirmed on Wednesday, February 25, that Robert Jr. died at age 23 following a suspected overdose in his parents’ Utah home.

“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord,” Mary shared in a statement to Us. “Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.”

Robert Jr.’s addiction battle was featured on RHOSLC throughout the past two seasons. Viewers often applauded Mary for her candid approach to opening up about her son’s struggles.

Cohen previously shared his condolences while speaking on the Wednesday, February 25 episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live.”

“We’re so sad to read the news about Mary Cosby’s son, Robert and I can’t think of anything worse than losing a child and in this way,” he said. “[Cohost] John [Hill], you and I have talked so much on this show about addiction and the heartbreak that is associated and I have so much love for Mary.”

Cohen shared that he spoke with Mary for “a while” on Tuesday, February 24 — one day after Robert Jr. died, emphasizing that this is “every parent’s worst nightmare.”

“You and I talked about this too, just about how much respect we had for the way that she spoke to Robert when we saw them talking about this on air and what I really admired was that she kind of met him where he was in a way, and she was kind of gently steering him or guiding him,” Cohen said.

Cohen recalled that Robert Jr. was in jail when the RHOSLC season 6 reunion was filmed. (Robert Jr. violated a protective order in 2025. He pleaded guilty to the charges and was released from jail earlier this month.)

“She was really hoping that he would be scared straight and I guess that didn’t happen,” Cohen claimed. Cohen added that they are “sending all our love to Mary and Robert.”
