Drew Sidora Speaks Out Amid Divorce And Custody Update

Drew Sidora is breaking her silence following reports that she has been ordered to vacate the Georgia home she shares with her estranged husband by May 31. In a statement shared to social media, Drew kept things focused on her role as a mother, making it clear where her priorities lie. She shared that she and Ralph Pittman are committed to co-parenting and doing what’s best for their children. Drew also emphasized that she’s choosing to move forward with grace, while continuing to show up as the best mom she can be despite the public nature of their situation.

Taking to X, Drew set the record straight, sharing:

“Good morning. Some details regarding my divorce have recently become public, although the process is not yet finalized. During this time, Ralph and I are committed to co-parenting and doing what’s best for our children. While certain things are beyond my control, my focus remains on showing up every day as the best mother I can be. Living in the public eye comes with challenges, but I’m choosing to move forward with grace, growth, and intention. My children are my priority, and I’m committed to leading with love, peace, and positivity. There is no ill intent toward anyone just a continued focus on healing, evolving, and becoming the best version of myself.”

Fans Share Mixed Reactions In The Comments

Folks wasted no time running to The Shade Room Instagram comment section and sharing their thoughts. Some said Drew Sidora doesn’t owe anyone an explanation, while others pointed out that just because the dad has custody doesn’t mean the mom did anything wrong.

This Instagram user @prettydarkskin_witdimples commented, “A man won’t be your peace but they will take it!“

And, Instagram user @heatheralexia_ said, “Something is off for a mom to not receive primary custody of her kids. Maybe it’s just her unstable work schedule.“

While Instagram user @_sunshiineex4_ claimed, “Girl you don’t owe nobody nothing. It’s 2026 🗣️🗣️”

Then Instagram user @saaphyri added, “Word to the wise NEVER DIVORCE IN GEORGIA.. it’s a man’s state“

The Instagram user @_littyandwitty joked, “Drew have a blast. ❤️😂”

Lastly, Instagram user @itsjustnitza said, “Just bc he has custody, doesn’t mean there HAS to be something wrong with her…“

What Exactly Is Drew Sidora Speaking Out About?

Now, let’s get into what Drew Sidora is speaking out about. As previously reported, a judge has ordered her to move out of the Georgia home she shares with Ralph Pittman by May 31, with both of them continuing to split household expenses in the meantime due to their current financial situation. On top of that, things get even more layered as the court reportedly granted Ralph primary physical custody of their children during the school year, while Drew will have weekend parenting time starting in August—though they will still share joint legal custody.

The update is just the latest twist in their ongoing divorce, which has been playing out since they filed dueling petitions back in March 2023. However, Drew’s legal team made it clear this isn’t the final word, noting the current ruling is only temporary as the case is still actively being litigated—meaning this situation is far from over.

A surprising detail has emerged in the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni and it involves none other than Taylor Swift. According to newly filed court documents, Lively’s legal team submitted additional evidence that includes what has been described as “a Taylor Swift cookie recipe that was linked in other correspondence,” adding an unexpected twist to the high-profile case.

Taylor Swift has long been known for her love of baking. The pop star’s chai sugar cookie recipe famously went viral years ago, becoming a fan-favorite among Swifties and widely shared across social media. More recently, she’s reportedly leaned into sourdough baking, making homemade bread for friends and family.

Justin Baldoni’s Team Pushes Back On New Evidence

In response to the latest filings, which include Taylor Swift’s cookie recipe, Baldoni’s legal team has asked the judge for more time to review the materials, which reportedly include dozens of exhibits.

His representatives have also downplayed the likelihood of the recipe being presented in court, stating it “is exceptionally unlikely” to be shown to the jury during the trial, which is set to begin May 18.

Alongside the recipe, Lively’s submission reportedly includes personal photos with Swift and a speech about her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

Witness List Expands As Trial Date Nears

As the case intensifies, Lively has expanded her witness list to include Reynolds, who has publicly supported her throughout the legal dispute. He is expected to testify about issues related to production and promotion, as well as alleged retaliation and damages tied to the case.

Lively herself is also expected to take the stand, along with Baldoni, after both parties declined settlement efforts earlier this week.

Additional names on Lively’s witness list include her sister Robyn Lively and “It Ends With Us” co-stars Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer. She has also identified several individuals connected to Baldoni, such as former podcast co-host Liz Plank, former publicist Stephanie Jones, and PR manager Melissa Nathan, as potential witnesses.

Meanwhile, author Colleen Hoover has been listed as a possible witness, though her testimony is expected to be delivered via deposition rather than in person.

Legal Fight Heats Up As Baldoni Objects To Witnesses

Baldoni’s team has raised objections to several proposed witnesses, including Hoover, arguing her testimony should not be included since she was not present during the film’s production.

They have also pushed to exclude certain claims made by Slate, asserting that any prior issues had already been resolved.

The legal battle stems from a lawsuit filed by Lively in December 2024, in which she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, retaliatory conduct, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Taylor Swift’s Connection Adds To The Legal Drama

Swift’s name has surfaced multiple times throughout the case. The singer was drawn into the situation after Baldoni’s legal team sought access to communications between her and Lively, including text messages and emails. In one exchange, Lively reportedly referred to herself as a character from “Game of Thrones” and described Swift as one of her “dragons.”

There have also been claims that Swift was present during a meeting at Lively’s New York penthouse related to script changes, though sources close to the singer have denied she had any prior knowledge of the gathering. According to those sources, Swift arrived unaware that a meeting was taking place and later felt “exploited” by the situation.

Trial Set To Begin Amid Growing Tensions

Baldoni recently scored a major legal win after a judge dismissed the bulk of Lively’s claims, but not necessarily on substance. The court ruled her sexual harassment allegations couldn’t proceed because she cited a California law, despite the alleged conduct taking place in New Jersey. The judge made it clear, however, that the decision was not based on whether her claims were valid.

The court also threw out Lively’s defamation claim, which centered on statements made by Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, including accusations that she fabricated the situation. In total, 10 of Lively’s 13 claims against Baldoni were dismissed.

As more evidence keeps dropping and both sides brace for court, this legal showdown between Lively and Baldoni is only getting messier. With the May 18 trial date looming, even something as random as a cookie recipe tied to Swift proves just how wild this case has become.

You want the really short review of They Will Kill You? Here it is: “We’ve got Ready or Not at home.”

As a movie about a young woman (played by Zazie Beets) who must fight for her life against rich devil worshipers, it’s clear that this film was inspired by Ready or Not, a film in which a young woman (played by Samara Weaving) must, well, fight for her life against devil worshipers. The blunt truth is that They Will Kill You really suffers from the inevitable comparison: Ready or Not had better kills, better humor, and better characters, and the sequel (which brought the awesome Kathryn Newton into the mix) arguably perfects this quirky narrative formula. By comparison, They Will Kill You comes across like someone is frantically copying a better student’s paper.

With that said, it’s a fairly good copy. Zazie Beets (who genre nerds will best know for her appearances in Joker and Deadpool 2) is really great in the role of a young woman who infiltrates a wealthy household as their latest maid. It turns out that she is on a mission to rescue her little sister, and she’s spent the last decade in a particularly brutal prison. Constant fighting with other inmates has given her the kind of fighting skills that would make John Wick blush, but she must now fight the ultimate foe: Satanists who, through a demonic pact, seemingly can’t stay dead.

Destined For A “Cult” Following

As you have probably sussed out, They Will Kill You doesn’t really have a lot of plot to get in the way of the movie. The highly unoriginal premise is just an excuse to get our main character into a series of memorable fights with bland characters. Interestingly, the fights are heavily flavored by martial arts movies; while Ready or Not favored more realistic combat, often emphasizing Samara Weaving’s vulnerability against stronger, better-armed foes. They Will Kill You transforms Zazie Beets into a borderline superhuman kung-fu star who never truly seems like she’s in danger because she is infinitely more dangerous than her enemies.

That’s not inherently a bad thing, of course: if you want to see a gorgeous woman engage in scene after scene of ultraviolence, They Will Kill You is an entertaining, nonstop thrill ride. Beets imbues her character with passionate intensity that makes every kill feel transgressively intimate, which helps make up for how bland almost everyone she fights is. Plus, the film as a whole is anything but boring: once the barebones plot is established, almost every single scene is nonstop, stylized violence that you can’t tear your eyes away from.

She Didn’t Start The Fire

The result is a mixed bag of a movie, and how much you enjoy it will depend on your sensibilities as a film lover and simply what you’re in the mood for at the time. As a “turn your brain off” action picture, They Will Kill You is stunning: we get killer fight after killer fight, all of which culminates in a demonic showdown that’s as fierce as it is funny. Horror fans will enjoy all the buckets of blood Zazie Beets spills, and Quentin Tarantino fans will enjoy high-energy battles that were very clearly inspired by Kill Bill.

If you want something more, though, you’re out of luck. The plot (minus a few very fun twists near the end) is depressingly by the numbers, and Beets is basically the only actor who gets to shine. This is a film that also stars genre heavyweights Tom Felton and Patricia Arquette, but they are given so little to do that they feel like just another pair of blood-soaked set pieces. The attempts at quirky humor (the kind that Ready or Not excelled at) often fall flat, and even the breathless action scenes get repetitive over time. This is ultimately a film that only has one gear, and whether or not you enjoy it depends greatly on what your expectations are.

Obviously, having watched Ready or Not 2 recently, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed by They Will Kill You, a movie that copied that Samara Weaving franchise’s core idea without adding much to the formula. But “little” is the operating word here: Zazie Beets does her best work yet as the lead, the action is fun and memorable, and the climax is bonkers in the best possible way. Is all of this highly derivative of better films? Of course! But for better or for worse, They Will Kill You is the best unoriginal movie you will ever see.

Yellowstone‘s Luke Grimes moved out to Montana — but why was it met with some backlash by locals?

Grimes rose to fame playing Kayce Dutton on Yellowstone, which ran from 2018 to 2024. He reprised the role for CBS’ Marshals spinoff, which came years after Grimes relocated from Los Angeles to the Bitterroot Valley in Montana.

The actor and his wife, Bianca Rodrigues Grimes, moved in 2020 after Grimes fell in love with the area after Yellowstone. The decision to start fresh was met with a surprising reaction from his neighbors.

“I was going up there three or four months out of the year, and then anytime we’d get done filming, and I’d come back here, it sort of felt like I was leaving home rather than going back home,” Grimes told Fox News Digital in February. “It was just a gear change that slowly happened over a course of a few years and then, yeah, my wife and I just fell in love with it and decided to live there.”

Yellowstone may not always have romance at the forefront of the story, but Kevin Costner and Luke Grimes are just some of the cast members who found love off screen over the years. Costner, for his part, met Cindy Silva while they were both in college in 1975. After three years of dating, the duo […]

Grimes later revealed that some of the Montana locals haven’t been as welcoming to him and his family. (Grimes and his wife welcomed a son in 2024.)

“I can’t go to bars there anymore ‘cause whatever that one idiot is, is at the bar, and he can’t wait to start a fight with me,” he shared on the Joe Rogan Experience in March. “Just like can’t wait to do it because it’s like a win-win for him, you know? He gets to sue me or something. I don’t know, but it’s a lose-lose for me.”

Grimes continued: “The valley that I live in, we had some people come visit us. Our friends from California drove out, and we went on a hike, and we were in their car. And they had, you know, Cali plates. We get off the hike, and someone had written ‘go back’ in the dust on their car. Like, people are super weird about it. So I don’t tell anyone exactly where I’m at because they would get really mad at me.”

Yellowstone is known for its over-the-top plot lines and complicated family drama, but the show’s cast and crew has also been involved in plenty of offscreen controversy over the years. Since the Paramount Network series premiered in June 2018, actors along with cocreator Taylor Sheridan have fended off criticism that the show is written with […]

At the time, Grimes also addressed criticism that Kayce isn’t a Dutton who deserved his own Yellowstone spinoff, Marshals.

“I’m my own worst critic,” Grimes told Entertainment Weekly in February. “I was like, ‘If you take a poll of who people want to have a spinoff, I don’t know if Kayce would be top of that list. I think there’s other characters that they would rather see.’”

Grimes used that as motivation, adding, “So there was a fire under me. Like, it has to be good. If it’s not good, I’d rather not do it. We tried really hard to make sure that any of the original Yellowstone fans would have something to grasp onto.”

He continued: “But if you’d never seen Yellowstone, we wanted this show to make sense on its own as well. I think we accomplished that as much as we possibly could.”

Stargate SG-1 took a few seasons to find its footing, which is why Season 1 is so uneven, from the R-rated Showtime pilot to “Emancipation,” the cast and crew had to figure out how the show’s world was going to work and where the SG-1 team fell into the grand scheme of things. Episode 6, “The First Commandment,” broadens the world with the introduction of SG-9, except it’s after the unit was wiped out, and now the SG-1 team has to clean up their mess.

In doing so, they re-enact the plot of Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam War classic, Apocalypse Now, the first of many times when the series bases plots off the classics. It mostly works, too, except there’s one Samantha Carter-shaped problem at the center of the episode. 

Going Native And Playing God

“The First Commandment” kicks off with the remnants of SG-9, another exploratory unit under Stargate Command, after their leader, Captain Jonas Hanson (William Russ) convinced the native tribe he was a God. His plan is to force the construction of a temple and turn on an abandoned Goa’uld device that will “turn the sky orange.” It’s deduced to be a solar radiation shield, necessary for survival on the planet where the solar radiation levels are so high that it will burn anyone to a crisp if they stay in the sunlight for too long. It’s a simple plot about an officer going native, exactly the sort of thing Star Trek’s Federation designed the Prime Directive to prevent, but it’s complicated by Carter (Amanda Tapping) revealing Hanson is her ex-fiancée.

After saving a native boy from Hanson’s soldiers, Carter is brought face-to-face with her ex, and the problem he faces as he can’t figure out how to turn on the solar shield. He admits that he hope sone day, she’ll become his goddess, mere seconds before threatening to kill every single cave-dweller and then the two of them. Yet, when Carter has the chance to kill him, she hesitates and can’t make the shot. 

Hanson still wants to make a grand display for his followers. An activated Stargate looks like the gateway to heaven to undeveloped civilizations. Using the portal as an execution device, Hanson attempts to drop Jack (Richard Dean Anderson) and Teal’c (Christopher Judge) into one without the safety of an IRC signal. Instead, the solar shield is activated by the team, and Hanson is tossed into the Stargate to his death by his own followers. It’s poetic, it’s a little darker than 90s fans expected of their sci-fi, and it’s proof that early on, no one knew what to do with Samantha Carter.

Stargate SG-1’s Growing Pains

Carter would go on to become one of the franchise’s most important characters, with appearances in every series, and her role only decreased when Amanda Tapping became the lead of Sanctuary. “The First Commandment” puts her in the role of Willard from Apocalypse Now, the assassin sent to take out Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who, similarly, can’t make the shot (for different reasons, but the spirit is there). Stargate SG-1 could have given her the same role, the same results, without her having been engaged to Hanson. It’s an unnecessary wrinkle that’s close to having her role listed as “girl” back when the writers thought she needed a man to play off of. 

Later seasons would rehabilitate Carter’s character, and there’s a reason why she appears in every series: she became the breakout character of Stargate SG-1. It took a while, and there were some growing pains to get there, but later episodes, such as Season 7’s “Space Race,” let Carter be Carter, and the result is some of the stories in the series. 

Stargate SG-1 ended its run as an ensemble series, with every character important to the team’s dynamics, even after the addition of Farscape stars Ben Browder and Claudia Black. The first few seasons have awkward episodes for each of the main cast, but the end result is worth the journey to get there.

Faces of Death began as a 1978 snuff film disguised as a mondo horror/documentary with the appeal that all of the deaths in the film were authentic. Some fake sequences were produced, but the film utilized pre-existing footage of actual death and the horrors that followed afterward.

Despite facing various controversies and being banned in many countries, the first film proved a massive success ($35 million at the box office on a $67,000 budget), and Faces of Death quickly became a franchise.  The film would spawn three legitimate sequels, three “sequels” that were highlight reels from previous films (only one included new footage), and a Fact or Fiction entry that disproved some of the franchise’s more well-known scenes. There are also two more entries, but Faces of Death VII is Nick Bougas’s 1989 film Death Scenes, with a new title, while Faces of Death 8 is a bunch of random gore sequences from all over the world with no narration and no credits.

The New Faces Of Death

The franchise had been dead for 25 years until the film was reimagined and released in 2026. Directed by Daniel Goldhaber and co-written by Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (CAM, How to Blow Up a Pipeline), Faces of Death follows Margot Romero (Barbie Ferreira, Euphoria), a content moderator for Kino Moderation. Kino is presented like an online platform similar to TikTok, with a comment section that mirrors Instagram.

It’s Margot’s job to flag inappropriate internet videos, whether they’re too sexual, feature drug use, or are too violent. Even though she’s only had the job for a couple of months, Margot has already seen everything and is kind of desensitized to the nastiness of the internet. She typically allows a lot of the violent content she sees because it is noticeably fake.

A beheading video sticks with Margot more than the others, and a few days later, an electrocution video in the same style follows. Soon after, a man’s head is bludgeoned by two hammers held by mannequins before they scalp him and pretend to eat his brains. Margot wants to go to the police, but Josh (Jermaine Fowler, Night Patrol), her boss at Kino, doesn’t want the negative reputation for the platform and is still convinced none of it is authentic.

Arthur Spevak (Dacre Montgomery, Stranger Things) is kidnapping famous influencers and TV personalities. He injects them with fentanyl, holds them captive in cages, and then murders them in a way that mirrors a death from the original Faces of Death. Arthur uploads every one of his kills to Kino and is gaining a following. Since Kino has no intention of tracking what could be a murder spree being uploaded to the internet, Margot decides to take matters into her own hands.

The film is trying to say something about society. Everyone is glued to their phones these days, with an attention span of less than 10 seconds. Doom scrolling has become the new channel flipping, and everyone scrolls to the next thing if something doesn’t grab them immediately. Various forms of entertainment are available to us at our fingertips, and we take them for granted.

Faces of Death touches on how cruel we’ve become. People are dying just to make content, and nobody cares. It’s not them or anyone they know, so it serves them right. They’ve gotten what they deserve, and the person holding the phone is on to the next trend or video.

Nobody Cares If These Characters Become Train Jelly

But the issue is you don’t give a good Goddamn about anyone in this film. Everyone is an asshole, and you’re no more invested in Margot’s gay and horror film-obsessed roommate named Ryan (Aaron Holliday) than you are in Margot’s boss, Josh.

Margot’s big back story is that her best friend died while they were trying to make a viral video. They were dancing on train tracks as a train approached, and she slipped on gravel and became train jelly. Meanwhile, Arthur’s motivation is that people love remakes, and Kino seemed like a great place to gain a following. Margot even pulls the original Faces of Death VHS off the shelf and watches it in the film.

A Questionable Script Which Relies On Reddit

The film’s writing is questionable. Half of the film sees Margot turning to Reddit for answers, while the other half feels like it’s Barbie Ferreira staring at the camera, her mega unibrow screaming louder than any dumb facial expression she makes.

The Arthur Spevak character is poorly fleshed out. He’s a germaphobe, but that aspect literally leads to nothing. Dacre Montgomery also has the strongest performance in the film, but he’s a poor imitation of Patrick Bateman overall.

There’s also a sequence where Arthur is trying to intimidate his caged victims by angrily feeding them pizza. And later, Margot brushes her teeth with black toothpaste so intensely that you think her toothbrush is going to break in half. The fact that Ryan’s lipstick knife is the savior of the film on three separate occasions that can’t be detected by anyone or anything is so incredibly infuriating, too.

Throw This Cast In A Volcano

Meanwhile, Ferriera’s performance rides on her shrieking like a rabid marmot that also apparently chain-smoked since it became sentient in the womb; by the time the inevitable confrontation between Arthur and Margot finally arrives, you don’t root for a clear winner. You lust for a fictional double murder or some gruesome natural occurrence to swoop in and eject these two irritating jackasses directly into the sun or nearest volcano. Never has the giant foot from Monty Python’s Flying Circus been needed or craved more.

You’d think that a horror film like Faces of Death would at least have some decent kills, but even those are uninspired and are more straightforward than anything else. Faces of Death feels like a lazy reboot; controversy has been replaced with apathy, and a cast of characters and performances you want nothing more than to reach through your screen and slap the s**t out of. Even the film’s meta aspects feel shoehorned in just to get that forced meme reaction: Leonardo DiCaprio enthusiastically pointing at the screen, a moment that is met instead with dizzying eye rolls and extreme facepalming.

Faces of Death (2026) is now playing in theaters.

Season 2 of “Temptation Island” pushed four couples to their limits, forcing them to confront trust issues, communication breakdowns, and emotional barriers in one of reality TV’s most intense relationship experiments. Host Mark L. Walberg has since reflected on each couple’s journey, offering insight into how their time on the island ultimately shaped their futures.

Only One Couple Survives ‘Temptation Island’ Season 2

Season 2 of “Temptation Island” ultimately proved just how high the stakes really are when love is put under a microscope. After weeks of separation, temptation, and emotional breakthroughs, only one of the original four couples managed to leave the island together, while the remaining pairs chose to go their separate ways.

Along the way, at least one contestant found a new connection strong enough to take into the real worl, showing that sometimes the journey isn’t about saving a relationship, but discovering what (or who) truly feels right.

Kaylee And Summit Find Common Ground On ‘Temptation Island’

Kaylee and Summit entered the experience caught in a cycle of breaking up and getting back together, largely driven by Summit’s commitment issues. Over time, both began to recognize their individual roles in the relationship’s struggles. Kaylee opened up about her need for validation, while Summit came to terms with how his comments had affected her confidence.

By the final bonfire, they were able to meet each other with a new level of understanding, choosing to leave the island together with a stronger foundation. Mark recalled feeling protective of Kaylee early on, especially when she discussed how Summit spoke about her body.

“It’s not a healthy thing to shame someone or tell them that their physical features are not up to par,” he told Tudum. Still, he emphasized Summit’s willingness to grow, noting, “It’s important that viewers realize that Summit is a work in progress,” he said. “The fact that he acknowledged how toxic that behavior can be and that this came up in a previous relationship [allowed me] to say to him, ‘OK, well, knowing that [it’s an issue] is the hardest part of becoming a better dude.’”

For Kaylee, the journey was transformative. “She made great progress in realizing that she is, as I called her, a gem,” he said.

Sydney And Mikey Split After Emotional Breaking Point

Sydney and Mikey’s relationship, on the other hand, unraveled quickly under the pressure of the experiment. Mikey’s tendency to deflect with humor clashed with Sydney’s desire for emotional depth, and things took a turn after she saw clips of him forming close bonds with other women and expressing interest in pursuing one of them.

While Mikey eventually allowed himself to be vulnerable, Sydney began exploring a new connection, ultimately deciding to move forward without him. Mark related to Mikey’s personality and recognized a shift in him during the process.

“Right off the bat, I said, ‘Mikey, there’s a lot about you that’s like me.’ He has this skill set that is easy to use to mask how you’re feeling,” Mark said. “When we finally got to, ‘I make everybody happy around me,’ and I could ask, ‘But are you happy?’ That was the first moment of Mikey becoming a real person.”

As for Sydney, Mark suggested her reaction may have stemmed from a deeper realization. “What I suggested is maybe there was a small part of her that needed an excuse to move on,” he said. “Maybe part of her was like, ‘I think I want more than what Mikey’s providing in general.’”

Scarlett And Cole Split After Trust Issues Boil Over

Scarlett and Cole’s journey highlighted ongoing communication issues that had been present long before they arrived on the island. While Cole believed their relationship was stable, Scarlett felt disconnected and unsure about their future.

On the island, Cole attempted to prove his loyalty by avoiding temptation, but Scarlett formed meaningful connections with others, leading her to question whether something was missing in her relationship. Their final bonfire took a turn when Cole admitted to reading her journal, further damaging her trust. Ultimately, Scarlett chose to leave alone.

Mark reflected on Cole’s approach, encouraging a broader perspective on emotional connection. “It doesn’t mean you have to flirt and hook up and kiss. But when a clip shows that you’re having a breakdown with another woman who’s helping you learn things about yourself, that might be what Scarlett was hoping to see,” Mark said. “It’s not breaking a boundary to be intimate and connected with somebody if it serves your purpose.’”

He added that while the relationship didn’t survive, there may still be room for growth in the future. “When you get back home, the blizzard calms down and either you realize [the two of you] never had anything at all, or you find each other again,” he said.

Shyanne And Jack’s Relationship Crumbles On ‘Temptation Island’

For Shyanne and Jack, unresolved trust issues and past infidelity created a fragile foundation that ultimately couldn’t withstand the pressure of the experiment. Both quickly formed new connections on the island, exposing deeper cracks in their relationship.

By the end, they acknowledged that while they had grown individually, their relationship had reached its breaking point. Mark admitted their situation was particularly challenging to navigate due to a lack of honesty. “If you’re not brutally honest about things, I can’t help you.”

He also pointed out that their issues went beyond cheating. “You think you’re feeling one way, but the words coming out of your mouth let me know there’s something bigger that’s bothering you,” he said. “There’s something in the relationship that’s not working for you beyond fidelity.”

Despite the difficult ending, he encouraged them to value their shared history. “You don’t get a first love again,” Mark explained. “I had to say, ‘Hey, kids, you need to know who you are to one another. When the toxicity fades, when the pain fades, when you’re married and have kids years from now, you will think fondly of one another. It will be a special place in your heart that nothing can touch, so it’s important to acknowledge that now.’”

Season 2 of “Temptation Island” is now streaming on Netflix.

In the year 2000, you weren’t able to get away from Coyote Ugly. You could try. Staying far, far away from every bar and nightclub was a good start. You’d be minding your own business at Applebee’s, and someone would climb on the bar to start dancing between your margarita and chicken tenders.

Bar dancing became so popular that it ended up overshadowing the film itself. Today, when you stream Coyote Ugly for free on Tubi, you’ll be amazed at how Hollywood used to make PG-13 movies, and the impressive cast you forgot was in the film. 

The Devil Went Down To Coyote Ugly

For starters, Coyote Ugly was Piper Perabo’s breakthrough as Violet, the aspiring songwriter who sees women spending hundreds of dollars one night and learns they work at the bar, Coyote Ugly. The bar’s owner Lil, is played by Maria Bello, and the Coyotes include Cammie (Izabella Miko, name a procedural, she’s guest-starred), Zoe (Tyra Banks), and Rachel (Bridget Moynahan), as the coolest bartenders in New York City.

Once Piper warms up and starts getting out of her shell, she’s right there with the rest of them, dancing on the bar, flirting with patrons, and stopping a barfight by singing. That last one is a little absurd, but it’s also so strange; if you saw someone start singing Blondie out of nowhere, you’d stop for a second and wonder what was wrong with her. 

Wish fulfillment comes in different forms; it’s not all about storming the castle. Coyote Ugly hits every single trope of a small-town girl dreaming of becoming a big star. Right down to the overprotective father, Bill (John Goodman), and best friend who took the traditional path, and everything seems to be working out for her, here it’s Gloria, played by Yellowjackets’ and The Last Of Us star Melanie Lynskey.

If you were to guess that Violet ends up finding success as a songwriter and everyone lives happily ever after, you’re right. Coyote Ugly is straightforward, fun, and low stakes. It’s the perfect type of movie to shut your brain off and simply enjoy. 

Your Social Media Feed Is More Scandalous

Coyote Ugly ended up becoming a massive hit, not in theaters, though, unadjusted for inflation, it did earn almost four times the amount Borderlands did, $133 million compared to $31 million. The movie became a smash hit on DVD, for well, the obvious reasons.

Before social media, before YouTube, the DVD of Coyote Ugly was an easy way to see gorgeous women dancing, except it’s PG-13, and the dancing is country line dancing. You can catch more scandalous dancing on a random episode of Bar Rescue. It was 2000; it was a different time. 

If any film could have fun with a legacy sequel, it’s Coyote Ugly, and the cast themselves think so, too. Tyra Banks has tried to get a sequel into production, and Piper Perabo has talked about it, even though there’s already a sequel, sort of. The film is based on the real-life memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert, The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon, about her time working in the real Coyote Ugly, before she wrote about a life-changing trip you may have heard of. That’s right, Eat, Pray, Love is technically a sequel to Coyote Ugly.

Today, you can still go to Coyote Ugly bars around the country, from New Orleans to Daytona Beach, and while your results will not be the same as Violet’s from the movie, you can at least say you went to one. Or you can stream Coyote Ugly for free on Tubi and see what was boundary pushing at the turn of the century, as the hottest PG-13 movie of the time would be considered tame today on Instagram.

Yosohn’s 8th Birthday Turned Into A Whole Movie

Yosohn, aka Baby Crash, rang in his 8th birthday in full-on fly kid fashion, stepping into a Clover-themed celebration that had the entire setup matching the vibe of the moment. In clips shared across social media—including posts from his mom Ari Fletcher—Yosohn was seen glowing in a black tee and fresh cornrows, standing in front of his cake while guests sang to him under green lighting that brought the whole theme together.

The party kept getting better as Yosohn also made an appearance on a Clover Boyz livestream where he was vibing out to music while his dad G Herbo was spotted in the background hyping everything up as the energy stayed high. To top it all off, he received an iced-out Clover chain personalized with his name, and at one point was even layered with multiple chains from the group—basically getting full “Clover Boyz honorary member” treatment for the day. Ari also showed off more gifts like Razor bikes, while his stepmother Taina Williams shared sweet moments of Yosohn with his siblings Emmy and Essex, giving nothing but family love and smiles for the birthday boy.
