Legal experts say “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson could still face a civil lawsuit following a physical altercation with his neighbor in Brentwood, Tennessee, despite authorities closing the criminal case.

Alan Ritchson may still be in trouble, as legal experts reveal the “Reacher” star could face a civil lawsuit following a physical altercation with his neighbor, despite authorities closing the case.

Experts note potential claims could include medical expenses, emotional distress, or punitive damages.

Alan Ritchson, for his part, reportedly declined to press charges against his neighbor, who admitted to pushing the actor twice.

Alan Ritchson Could Face Civil Action Over Neighbor Altercation, Says Legal Expert

According to celebrity defense attorney Seth J. Zuckerman, Ritchson may still face legal issues from his recent altercation with his neighbor, even though authorities have decided not to file criminal charges.

Zuckerman explained to Page Six that the situation could shift into a civil dispute, where the rules are different, and that Ritchson’s neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, could still pursue compensation for medical expenses, emotional distress, and possible punitive damages.

He explained that, unlike criminal cases, which require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, civil claims only need a “preponderance of evidence,” making them easier to bring forward.

Zuckerman also noted that the police saying Ritchson acted in self-defense doesn’t prevent a lawsuit.

“Despite the police declaring that Ritchson was acting in self-defense, a civil case can be brought because it requires a lower burden of proof — preponderance of evidence— whereas a criminal case requires beyond a reasonable doubt,” the attorney said.

The Actor Can File Counterclaims If He Was Harmed In Any Way

According to Zuckerman, if Ritchson’s neighbor, Taylor, decides to sue the actor, he likely won’t get a lot of money, as the potential compensation would be reduced due to his being the instigator.

“…if the victim is found partially at fault, which is likely the case here, the potential compensation would be reduced,” the attorney noted, adding, “Ritchson can file counterclaims against the neighbor, but it doesn’t appear that Ritchson was harmed in any way.”

Other attorneys echoed similar perspectives. Bryan M. Sullivan, a partner at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae LLP, suggested both parties might pursue mutual protective orders, explaining that either could file assault-related claims.

Los Angeles-based attorney Gregory Doll said it wouldn’t be surprising if formal demands for compensation emerged behind the scenes, given the intensity of the incident, thanks to viral videos circulating online.

Alan Ritchson Was Cleared By The Police

The confrontation between Ritchson and his neighbor, Taylor, occurred over the weekend in Brentwood, Tennessee, over the actor’s bike sounds.

On Monday, Taylor told TMZ that he had repeatedly asked Ritchson to stop making noise with the bike and admitted he had instigated some physical contact, pushing the actor twice before being overpowered.

However, before the release of bodycam footage, Taylor claimed he only pushed Ritchson because the actor was “coming toward” him with his bike. This was disproved when a video showed that Taylor deliberately walked in front of Ritchson to block his path.

Police reviewed the video evidence and witness accounts, ultimately ruling that Ritchson acted in self-defense and closing the case without charges.

Authorities also confirmed that Ritchson chose not to press charges against Taylor.

The Actor Subtly Addressed The Viral Street Fight Incident

Following the incident, Ritchson shared a cryptic message on Instagram: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

The actor also seemed to address the fight on Instagram when he shared a video post about wrapping up post-production for Season 4 of “Reacher.”

He captioned the clip, “Happy to be back in the booth after such a crazy week!”

“This is, without a doubt, the most gripping season yet,” Ritchson noted about the TV series. “I think we hit our stride. Firing on all cylinders… as it were.

Alan Ritchson Opens Up About His Bipolar Diagnosis

Ritchson has been candid about his personal struggles. In 2024, he revealed that he survived a 2019 suicide attempt, saying thoughts of his sons helped him hold on.

The actor later sought professional help and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which provided clarity and a framework for understanding his experiences.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, he also explored MDMA-assisted therapy, describing it as transformative in helping him reflect on his purpose and focus on helping others.

Over the years, Ritchson has built a diverse career in both television and film, with notable roles in “Smallville,” “Blue Mountain State,” “Blood Drive,” and “Titans,” and as Raphael in the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot and its sequel.

He has also appeared in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “Lazer Team,” and “Fast X.”

Harry Potter is coming back. If it were in POG form, everyone might be more excited. Warner Bros. dropped the first trailer for the upcoming HBO Max series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which has touched off a fresh round of debates over whether or not the series should be boycotted due to J.K. Rowling’s beliefs and who even wanted this series in the first place.

Here’s the trailer…

No matter how you feel about the Boy Who Lived or the rich and famous author who created the most poorly designed sport in literature, it might be some solace to know Warner Bros. is going to fail spectacularly, and it has nothing to do with anyone’s opinions. It’s about money. A lot of money. So much in fact, that it’s impossible enough people will watch the new streaming series to break even, and don’t even think of turning a profit. 

The Most Expensive Entertainment Project In History

The 2001 adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone made a billion dollars on a budget of $125 million. By way of comparison, the HBO Max series has an estimated budget of $100 million. Per episode.

That’s before the marketing blitz that you won’t be able to get away from, even if you close your eyes while sitting in your tiny room underneath the stairwell. To put this in perspective, Warner Bros. is spending more money on the upcoming streaming series than any studio has ever spent on a single piece of entertainment. Series, movie, The Eras Tour, Dinotopia, doesn’t matter, nothing will come close to the sheer amount of money Warner Bros is setting on fire.

If you watch the initial trailer, it feels like a version of the movie fell out of an alternate universe. Everything looks similar to the original film, but it’s slightly off.

The cast looks like their movie counterparts. The one very notable exception is Snape, who’s also the single worst character in the series to race swap if you worry about things such as why everyone’s suspicious of him for no real reason, or why James Potter bullies him. It’s a baffling choice in a trailer full of baffling choices. 

Yer A Remake Harry!

To its credit, the trailer does attempt to answer the question as to why the series is being made. With a single season covering each of the books, finally, the little details that Potterheads have obsessed over for generations will get to leave the page. From the large changes, Headless Nick’s birthday party, to the smaller, calm changes of the later novels, a book-accurate adaptation could only be done as a series. 

Though Warner Bros is making it the largest entertainment project since the Romans erected the Colosseum, the first trailer can’t quite shake the nagging feeling that it’s destined to fail. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is going to be seen by millions and millions of people around the world, but at a total price tag approaching $4 billion, it seems impossible for it to become a financial success, which, as we all know, is sadly the only type of success that matters to studios. 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is coming to HBO Max around Christmas 2026.

Corporate, white-collar jobs are the worst. One time, I worked with a guy who “didn’t like to sit with his back to the door” in the conference room during our weekly management meetings, as if he was Jason freakin Bourne. He was an accounts receivable manager, an avid watch and stamp collector, and weighed north of 300 pounds. Not a single person thought, “man, what a badass” when he said these things, but we just had to grin and bear it. We just smiled and nodded as if he didn’t just say the dumbest thing on the planet. 

The same kind of behavior shows up in 2010’s Drones, except nobody’s pretending to be a highly trained assassin posing as a white-collar client services supervisor who drives a Honda Pilot. No, they’re claiming to be aliens.

A Not-So-Hostile Takeover

Drones centers on a business-casual G man named Brian (Jonathan M. Woodward), who works as a pencil pusher for the Omni Link company. It’s never really established what he or his coworkers do for a living. Think of it like Office Space. The greatest source of stress around the office is the company changing its filing system from chronological to alphabetical, which completely incenses Cooperman (Dave Allen), the most cynical employee in the building.

But if I’m weighing in here and being entirely honest, if you don’t sort by “date modified,” you’re a total psychopath. That way, the things you were working on most recently, and actually need, are at the top of the list. I’m totally Team Cooperman here.

There are two other sources of stress in Drones that slowly reveal themselves. First, Brian’s coworker Clark (Samm Levine) accidentally lets it slip that he’s an alien with plans for Earth that haven’t been fully explained. Second, before confessing any of that, Clark encourages Brian to ask out Amy (Angela Bettis), because it’s obvious to everybody that they’ve got some chemistry.

Then, Brian gets to know Amy and learns that she’s also an alien, reporting back to her home planet through the fax machine in the print room. Here’s the real problem. Amy and Clark aren’t from the same planet, and they both plan to take over Earth against each other’s knowledge. What follows is a series of closed-door conversations, eavesdropping, and awkward office romances tangled up in something much bigger than getting accused of stealing the last doughnut from the break room.

Quirky And Fun, But You Have To Use Your Imagination

Like most low-budget outings, Drones has its fun by never showing you its “monsters.” There are no special effects, and the entire movie takes place inside an office building. Everything is fluorescently lit to the point where your brain practically invents that awful humming noise just to complete the experience. Most of the tension comes from miscommunication and people getting their wires crossed over their motives.

What really sells the premise, though, is Amy’s dynamic with Brian. It’s the perfect interoffice romance because it’s built on paranoia. The kind of paranoia you get when you catch feelings for a coworker and convince yourself that even the smallest amount of happiness will somehow get reported to HR and shut down immediately.

Angela Bettis knocks it out of the park as Amy because she carries a subtle uncanny valley vibe. It’s not that she looks strange. She’s conventionally attractive and not doing anything overtly off-putting aside from occasionally talking to a fax machine. It’s all in her expressions. She studies everyone around her like she’s trying to figure out how humans operate in real time so she can report back to her own species.

Samm Levine’s Clark is similarly, and inexplicably, strange. Having worked in an office myself for years, nothing he’s doing is technically out of the ordinary, but something about his mannerisms still feels off. Both characters ride that line perfectly, where they seem normal on the surface but just weird enough to make you question everything.

Stuck between two potential alien invasions, all centered around his workplace, Brian is either weirdly okay with everything or completely bewildered depending on the moment, which makes for a surprisingly fun watch.

Drones is the kind of movie you throw on after a long day at an office job as a reminder to seek employment elsewhere. Everything from the interpersonal politics to the drab setting feels intentionally uncomfortable.

It makes you wonder if humans were ever meant to sit in cubicles all day (Peter Gibbons was right). An office suite is the perfect place for alien overlords to gather and talk shop if you think about it. It’s the one place where humans show up completely disengaged, which probably gives the aliens the upper hand before lunchtime most days.

As of this writing, Drones is streaming for free on Tubi.

Throughout most of the 1990s, the top-rated NBC sitcom Seinfeld dominated primetime television. The witty humor and superficial characters took viewers through bizarre happenstances surrounding relatable life situations that are seemingly mundane on the surface. The “show about nothing” proved to be more about everything else, but also weaved in the real-life interests of the show’s star and namesake, Jerry Seinfeld. A fan of superheroes, Seinfeld and his writers found ways of inserting references to comic book icons in multiple episodes, some a bit more concealed than others.

Fans of Seinfeld have claimed since the show’s run that the writers packed a Superman reference into every episode. If you count the noticeable Superman statue on Jerry’s shelf or the small magnets of the superhero on his refrigerator, you might come up with a visual reference for the majority of the show’s 180 entries. While the real tally of mentions and nods is far less than what some fans might have originally speculated, looking for and discovering these little Easter eggs has been a bonus to enjoying a much-beloved 90s TV staple.

Two Specific Episodes Do The Heavy Lifting

Two episodes are almost entirely dominated by Superman references. In the 1996 fan favorite episode, “The Bizarro Jerry,” Elaine begins a friendship with Kevin, with whom she has just ended a very short-term romance. As his new friend, Elaine discovers parallels between the life she experiences with Jerry and the gang, and Kevin and his friend group. Each person in Kevin’s life is the mirror opposite of every person in Jerry’s. Gene (George) and Feldman (Kramer) make up Kevin’s core friends, while Kevin is Jerry’s counterpart.

Kevin’s apartment also has details that, upon close examination, show Jerry’s interests in a twisted recreation. Aside from the layout being mirrored, there’s a unicycle on the wall where Jerry’s bike always hangs, Feldman always knocks before entering (instead of barging in, like Kramer), and continually restocks Kevin’s refrigerator and cabinets with groceries instead of bumming them. The cou de gras is positioned where Jerry’s prized Superman statue should be. In its place is Bizarro Superman, completing Jerry’s reference to Elaine being in “the Bizarro World” when she’s with Kevin.

The 1994 episode, “The Race,” sees Jerry have a rematch of a running contest that he deceptively won during high school. His old rival, Duncan Meyer, is revealed to be the employer of his newest love interest, Lois (as in Lois Lane, Superman’s girlfriend). Throughout the episode, Jerry utters memorable lines like “I’d have to be Superman to do that,” and “Faster than a speeding bullet.” The theme from Superman (1978) plays as Duncan gets his rematch with Jerry, which Jerry also wins after an unwitting headstart. He closes the show with a nod to the 1950s series, The Adventures of Superman, by uttering the line “Maybe I will, Lois. Maybe I will,” before breaking the fourth wall and winking at the camera.

Subtle Nods Through Dialogue

Most of the references to superheroes are revealed through the show’s dialogue instead of being visual cues. When George refers to Jerry’s new girlfriend, Gwen, as a “Two-Face” (the woman looks starkly different when the lighting changes), Jerry exclaims, “Like the Batman villain!” In another exchange, it’s revealed by Elaine that Jerry doodles naked pictures of Lois Lane. Yet another moment has George referring to Jerry as having only two interests, Superman and cereal.

Two-Face, Batman & Robin, and Superman aren’t the only DC superheroes mentioned in the series. On at least two occasions, Aquaman is the subject of conversations between George and Jerry. In “The Deal,” George wonders whether the character was “restricted to water,” while “The Glasses” has Jerry referring to his friend as “Aquaboy.”

“The Strongbox” Has Deep Cuts

One of the best superhero references occurred during an exchange between George, Jerry, and Elaine while the three were sitting in their favorite coffee shop in “The Strongbox.” Elaine has been seeing a new guy, a secretive fellow named Glenn. Elaine had previously speculated that he was probably married, given that he always met her out and refused to give her his phone number.

Jerry had interjected that the guy could be protecting his secret identity and that Elaine could very well be dating the Green Lantern. At the coffee shop, Elaine reveals that her new beau isn’t married, but that he’s been actively hiding the fact that he’s living in poverty. The exchange that follows is packed so full of lines revolving around DC characters, making it one of the greatest instances of snap dialogue over Seinfeld’s nine-season run.

Jerry’s one-liners included “We found out his superpower was lack of money,” “He’s the ‘got no green’ lantern,” and “He’s invulnerable to creditors.” A visibly annoyed Elaine gets up to leave, only to have George pipe up with “Maybe his girlfriend is Lois Loan.” Jerry deals the final blow when Elaine reenters moments later to retrieve something she’d left behind; “He can wipe out a checking account with a single bounce!”

References You May Have Missed

Superman-related references also make appearances in the following episodes:

In “The Pilot,” Jerry is clad in a wardrobe of red and blue, Superman’s colors.

During a scene in “The Secret Code,” Jerry tells George that his ATM passcode is “Jor-El,” the name of Superman’s father on the planet Krypton.

“The Stock Tip” sees Jerry and George debating whether or not Superman has a super sense of humor.

After George makes a bone-headed move concerning a new love interest in “The Face Painter,” he wishes he could turn back time in the way Superman could, by spinning the Earth in reverse.

“The Cheever Letters” makes one of several references to someone’s home being their “Fortress of Solitude.”

“The Invitations” has a montage of Jerry with his new fiancée, Jeannie. In one moment, the two of them are shown reading Superman comic books.

Heather Graham is letting fans in on her little secrets to maintain her chic physique.

The actress opened up about the rules she follows with her diet and self-care to ensure that she stays in shape. The youthful glow that seems to have never left her, even as she is now in her 50s, is seemingly thanks to everything but weight loss medication.

Heather Graham is living her childfree life to the fullest, enjoying the rewards of her work earlier in the industry. She gets her daily dose of happiness by focusing on enjoying the simplest things in life.

Going Under The Knife And Ozempic Are Not Part Of Heather Graham’s Routine

Graham had a chat this week where she told all on her secret to staying in shape, aging as an entertainer, and navigating through life. The actress explained how she tries to maintain her looks without succumbing to the pressure of going under the knife or using popular medications like GLP-1s.

For the Hollywood star, self-care is a top priority, and that includes her focus on staying active, eating healthy, yoga, and meditation. She strongly believes that “if you don’t have your health, you dont have anything” and as such she places her health as the most important thing in her life, even more important than her career. Graham, in her interview with US Weekly, revealed that she had unhealthy eating habits in her younger days.

She went through phases of being obsessed with sugar and eating frozen yoghurt for lunch and dinner. “I’d be like, ‘I don’t want to have dinner, so I’m going to eat eight candy bars or a pint of ice cream.’” Then I’d be like, “That was bad, so now I’m not going to eat any regular food.” After getting hands-on deep into meditation, she realized she needed to eat healthily. Now, she stays away from sugar by keeping it completely out of her house. and only sometimes indulges in two cookies.

The Actress’s Thoughts On Weight Loss And Aging

The entertainer was asked to share her thoughts on weight loss drugs and if they have a place in her regimen. In response, she stated that she does not see the appeal, even though there have been amazing reviews from people who use them. “But I’m fearful people haven’t been taking it long enough to know if there are bad side effects,” she added.

Graham then stressed that rather than turn to modern medicine for that purpose, she chooses to work out and have a prime diet instead. When it comes to cosmetic procedures, the star disclosed that she has never cut her face open. However, she has tried Botox, microneedling, and fillers. Her goal remains to look natural, she shared, adding “I dont want to look freaky. I wouldn’t completely rule it out, though.”

The “Hangover” star went on to answer questions about her career and aging in Hollywood. Recalling the time when there was a threshold age for women to get married before being tagged a spinster, Graham is glad to see that the industry is embracing female empowerment.

She gave a shout-out to Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Doechii, and Cardi B for helping her through a breakup via their music. Ultimately, the actress is not worried about getting older as she has come to terms with aging as part of the laws of nature. Her focus remains on how she can enjoy and appreciate the life she has.

The ‘Boogie Nights’ Star Has Been Into Diet And Fitness For Years

Over a decade ago, Graham chatted with Refinery29, where she spilled details of her experiences while filming the 2012 film “At Any Price,” where she starred as Meredith Crown alongside iconic actor Zac Efron. During her talk with the outlet, the Hollywood star shared that the secret to her glowing skin was using generous amounts of moisturizer.

“I like moisturizing a lot, my whole body, my face. I use this inexpensive Body Shop Nourishing Night Cream, and sometimes I’ll use Crème de la Mer,” the actress disclosed. At that time, she also detailed how she managed to keep up with her diet and fitness regimen despite being on the road regularly for work.

Graham shared that she tries to avoid sugar as a broad rule, even though she falters at times. She also tries to steer clear of white flour. In that same 2013 interview, the actress talked about her relationship with exercising, disclosing that she was big on doing yoga. “I’m obsessed with yoga. For fun, I would go on a yoga retreat and do four hours of yoga a day. And then I do pilates. I also like going out dancing,” Graham said.

For The Entertainer, Aging And Happiness Go Hand In Hand

Last year, Graham stepped onto the 55th floor of life, and her shared secret is “enjoying the simple things in life.” The “At Any Price” star shared that aging is all about attitude, noting that as she grows older, she cares less about things that do not matter. The star told PEOPLE that with that mindset, she has become a happier person focused on “feeling good from the inside out.”

She also surrounds herself with positive energy from her friends and spends more time in nature. “I like to go out in nature, go to the beach, look at the ocean, go on a hike, go into the mountains, look at the trees,” she shared before adding, “I love just being by the ocean; anytime I’m at the ocean, I just feel happier.

Graham, in recent years, has embraced a more holistic perspective on life, and this has tilted her focus from the super ambitious younger version of herself to a woman who draws fulfillment from other parts of life besides her career.

Heather Graham Has Gone No Contact With Her Parents Since Early Adulthood

The movie star previously disclosed that she has not spoken to her parents in almost thirty years. The estrangement from her father, James, who was an FBI agent, and her mother, Joan, who was an elementary school teacher, stemmed from her decision to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

The star shared that her father often actively discouraged her from getting into Hollywood, while her mom supported her creative and acting ambition, but did not protect her from James. “He regularly told me that the entertainment industry was evil and that Hollywood would claim my soul if I became an actress and appeared in anything with sexual content,” the actress revealed about two years ago.

ENews detailed that according to Graham, when she made her debut with “License to Drive,” staying at home with her parents became all the more difficult. She was determined to be successful and make a name for herself as a movie star. Friends became family to her, and she continued climbing the ladder to success. “I stopped talking to my parents when I was 25, and I’m estranged from them now. My friends are proud of me, and I’m proud of myself,” Graham concluded.

Anne Hathaway set the tone for The Devil Wears Prada 2 by refusing to cast overly thin models in the film, her costar Meryl Streep shared in a candid new interview.

Streep, 76, admitted to being completely “struck by how not only beautiful and young” as well as “alarmingly thin the models were” when the cast attended real-life runway shows during Milan Fashion Week in 2025, she told Harper’s Bazaar in an article profiling Hathaway, 43, published on Wednesday, March 25.

“I thought that all had been addressed years ago. Annie clocked it too,” Streep added.

The actress, who reprises her role as Miranda Priestly (Runway magazine’s now-struggling editor-in-chief) alongside Hathaway’s Andy Sachs in the upcoming sequel, said that her costar wanted a more realistic beauty standard portrayed in the sequel and took action to ensure that would happen.

“[Hathaway] made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal! She’s a stand-up girl,” raved Streep.

It’s been two decades since fashion-loving fans got to see the original film in theaters back in June 2006. This time, Andy is a features editor at Runway after moving up the ladder from her junior personal assistant role.

Fans of The Devil Wears Prada have long been hoping for a sequel, but the cast is torn about revisiting the 2006 film. Anne Hathaway starred as Andy, an aspiring journalist who lands a coveted job as the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the powerful editor of a fashion magazine called Runway (think: […]

“Even though we were aware of the impact of the first film two decades ago, I think none of us were prepared for the ambush of both goodwill and avid attention that engulfed us,” Streep shared about the frenzy that followed. “We needed police barriers and crowd control.”

“Buses of fans turned up, and paparazzi swarmed and in one case kept jumping in front of the camera and the shot and got in a kerfuffle with crew!” added Streep while talking about shooting the sequel. “Annie kept her cool, but I was unnerved.”

As for what fans can expect to see in the second film, “The characters are obviously 20 years along in their careers and at very different places, and the world of media is in a very different place,” the movie’s director, David Frankel, shared. “Andy has had a career in journalism that mirrors a lot of people’s experiences in journalism these days.”

Is the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada the most anticipated film of 2026? Well, why wouldn’t it be? It’s one of the most iconic films of 21st-century pop culture. It catapulted Emily Blunt into the mainstream, gave Anne Hathaway her then-biggest commercial success and forever cemented Meryl Streep’s iconic status as Miranda Priestly. And, of […]

Outside of her role as Andy, Hathaway said that she’s embraced this next chapter of her own life as a mom of two.

“I think that very often, conversations about aging presume that the first part of life is the happiest and the most fulfilling, and I don’t necessarily think that’s true,” the star, who shares sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6, with her husband Adam Shulman, said. She added, “I wasn’t expecting to find another gear at 40.”

Kylie Kelce says critics are taking her past comments about hiring babysitters when her husband, Jason Kelce, is at home out of context.

“It got so aggressively taken out of context that I was pissed about it for, like, months,” Kylie, 34, said during the Wednesday, March 25, episode of the “Conversations With Cam” podcast. “Because there comes a time where you can set the record straight. But then at what point are you just continuously [doing it]? And like, ‘I don’t need to.’ This is the same thing of, like, if I’m going to talk about it, I’ll talk about it. If I’m not, I’m not.”

Back in December 2024, Kylie caused a stir when she revealed that she would schedule a babysitter even when Jason, 38, is scheduled to be home with their kids. (The couple shares daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 3, and Finn, who turns 1 year old on Monday, March 30.)

“How do I say this nicely? No,” Kylie said during the debut episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “When I have to do something — coaching, something for Eagles Autism Foundation, something for my podcast, a doctor’s appointment even — I will schedule childcare. My husband could tell me 72 times that he is going to be in the house during the time when I have to leave it, [and] I will still schedule childcare.”

Kylie added that their schedule is unpredictable now that Jason is retired from the NFL, so it’s hard to know when he will be able to watch the kids.

After the episode aired, critics online slammed Kylie for seemingly not allowing Jason to watch their children.

“Tell me you don’t trust your husband, without telling him you don’t trust him,” an Instagram user commented on a clip of the podcast at the time.

Another person added, “That’s really sad a guy can’t parent his own kids.”

Addressing the criticism on Wednesday, Kylie continued, “It got so taken out of context because people were like, ‘You won’t let Jason watch your kids.’ And I’m like, ‘What do you mean, let him watch the kids? They’re his kids.’ I’m not letting him do anything. They’re f***ing his.”

Kylie then reiterated her original explanation for hiring a babysitter.

“When I first started the podcast and we addressed this, which is when I said it, Jason was in football season for ESPN,” she said. “He had multiple other things going on where his schedule was, and still is, chaotic, but not nearly as much. There was like no structure happening.”

Related: Kylie Kelce Has the Perfect Clapback for Haters Who Are ‘Tired’ of Her

  Kylie Kelce is not here for the haters weighing in on her life or her new podcast venture. “My producer, Queen Emma, has pulled a couple of the comments that we’ve gotten over the last couple weeks,” Kelce, 32, said during the Thursday, January 2, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “One of […]

Kylie added, “And there were times where he would be sitting, and he’d be like, ‘Oh, I don’t have anything for the rest of the day.’ And then someone would call him, and he’d be like, ‘Oh, I actually have to take this.’ And then he would end up on a call for like 45 minutes to an hour. And like, it’s, they’re not calls where you can have little voices in the background.”

The podcaster also argued that she had a “sarcastic” tone when she made the original remarks.

“It’s always how someone wants to twist it,” she noted.
