Deiondra Sanders is speaking out about co-parenting with Jacquees, bringing some new characters into the mix. After dropping screenshots of text arguments with the rapper, Sanders also shared an alleged DM from a mystery woman. This woman told Sanders she’s spent time with her son Snow and his daddy, Jacquees. All this amid Sanders taking to the internet to accuse her ex-fiancé and his family of preventing Snow from speaking to her when he’s with them.

Jacquees Calls Deiondra The “Worst Baby Mama” In Texts She Exposed

As previously reported, Deiondra Sanders called out Jacquees and his mom, Rosie Thompson, earlier this week. She posted a photo with Snow, claiming she hasn’t heard back from anyone about him. “I don’t like doing this but this the only way y’all respond when it [affects] y’alls image,” she wrote. She further explained herself on IG Story, saying that she and Snow are “very attached” and that he should be with her if the other parent isn’t going to be with him. It appears she may have been suggesting Snow is spending time with Jacquees’ family rather than him. Amid the callout from Deiondra, The Shade Room reported that Jacquees hopped on live to show Snow playing with his toys. “Son, son got some grandparent time, some cousin time, some daddy. That’s what it’s all about,” the rapper said.

Still, that didn’t stop Deiondra Sanders from continuing to air out her coparenting grievances. Also on Instagram, on Monday, she dropped another message claiming it’s been three days of being hung up on when she’s calling to speak to Snow. Additionally, she said Snow has been crying and trying to tell her something. “Y’all turn his iPad off so I can speak to him. This is crazy. People really be mad at the relationship I have with my son and that I am his safe space,” Deiondra wrote.

Text threads between Sanders and Jacquees, and in group chats, show Deiondra pleading to speak with Snow more and alleging Jacquees’ family members aren’t answering the phone. In several responses, Jacquees allegedly tells Sanders to shut up and calls out how she coparents. One thread shows the rapper asking Deiondra Sanders to stop calling. “Your the worst baby mama a n*gga could have,” Jac wrote in one message. Adding, “You act like a child you do way to f*cking much causing confusing and sh*t. Leave me the f*ck alone, call Laine.”

Deiondra Sanders Claims Woman DM’ed Her About Jacquees & Snow

Hours after exposing her and Jacquees’ messages, Deiondra circled back to IG Stories with a demand for her ex. She asked him to keep his women out of her DMs. “I don’t care what u got going on. Just let me have access to speak to my child once a day,” she wrote over a DM screenshot. Sanders didn’t show who sent the message, but it was a long paragraph from a person presenting to be a woman. The person praised Deiondra’s love for Snow before claiming to have spent time with the toddler. She complimented the child and claimed to have video and text evidence of spending time with him and Jac. This person also alleged that they have tried to defend Deiondra to Jacquees. Additionally, the woman claimed to be pregnant by the rapper, but unwilling to keep the pregnancy.

“I am expecting but I refuse to keep it. I got on him because how he treats and talks to you. I’m writing you from my backup page because you blocked me when I made a statement about coparenting. He wants me to keep the baby and I’m absolutely not. So he refuses to. It’s so much.”

Jacquees’ Mom Says Her Sister Is Being Targeted Amid Drama

Amid Deiondra’s text thread posting, it appears one family member’s phone number was leaked. The rapper’s aunt helps him watch Snow during weekdays and weekends with dad. Now, after the texts Sanders exposed, Rosie Thompson says her sister is “getting all sorts of hate calls.” The mother asked online users to stop calling and cursing her sister out because it’s not her. Now, attorneys are involved, she said.

“Her # was leaked on some messages….The attorneys are involved..let them handle it because we can’t…”

It appears the sister was the person who texted, “Hey Snow is sleep,” in one of the text threads Deiondra Sanders shared.

Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Aesha Scott spoke out in defense of the show after recent controversy surrounding Nathan Gallagher‘s domestic violence arrest.

Aesha weighed in after Below Deck alum Ben Willoughby posted an Instagram video recently where he criticized how the hit Bravo show has been casting the crew. In the comments section, Kyle Stillie reflected on his own experience as a newcomer.

“You know when I walked on your season lad I’d never even seen a yacht, let alone been on one,” he wrote. “Casting flew me to Miami for my Stcw and then straight to Grenada to start filming and while filming production consistently encouraged us to be ‘larger than life’ because ‘this isn’t yachting, this is below deck.’ Controversy is exactly what they’re look for no?”

The comments from Ben and Kyle were recapped in a fan video, which is where Aesha jumped in, writing, “I’ve done Below Deck for almost a decade now and have never once been told ‘this isn’t yachting it’s Below Deck.’ Also, over the years they stress more and more we don’t have to drink and they keep a good eye on us.”

Below Deck and its spinoff series may be reality TV shows, but there can be real-life consequences for the crew’s actions both on and off the ship. Over the years, stars including Hannah Ferrier, Peter Hunziker and Shane Coopersmith have been fired from their respective charters for a variety of reasons. Below Deck Mediterranean’s Hannah […]

Aesha is currently featured on season 11 of Below Deck Med, which showed Nathan returning as boson. Off screen, news broke last month that Nathan was arrested on domestic violence charges in Australia in December 2025 after an alleged incident with an unidentified 29-year-old woman.

According to a police report viewed by Us last month, Nathan was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault.”

The police memo reported that Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail and he was convicted on three counts of domestic violence this month after he failed to appear in court.

Us also confirmed that Nathan is the subject of an Apprehended Violence Application that was filed on behalf of now-ex Gael Cameron in New South Wales. (An AVO is a legal order requested from a court to protect a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking that is widely used in Australia, per NSW Government’s official website.)

“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” Nathan told Rolling Stone in an August statement. “I will not accept being portrayed solely through one the account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it. I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”

In his statement, Nathan confirmed his breakup from Gael, with whom he shares 14-month-old son Kayden.

“There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly,” he claimed. “My priority is being recognized as his father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully.”

Gael, for her part, released a statement on Saturday, September 5.

“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself. I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”

Us has since confirmed that Bravo fired Nathan in light of his domestic violence arrest.

Phaedra Parks‘ ex-husband, Apollo Nida, is weighing in on her newly revealed romance with Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello. Fans have been gagged by the developing relationship since Parks confirmed last week they’re more than platonic. This marks the second time someone from Parks or Tamburello’s past has spoken out since the reveal. The first was CT’s estranged wife, Catalina White.

Apollo Nida Reacts To Phaedra Parks’ New Relationship

Speaking to TMZ, Apollo Nida reportedly said he’s happy for Phaedra Parks, especially if she feels happy. Also, Nida said Parks has “always handled herself appropriately as a mom,” per TMZ. Therefore, he has no issues as long as she and their two sons, Ayden and Dylan, are treated right.

Apollo couldn’t give a timeline on when Phaedra started dating CT because he says they most speak about their sons and he stays out of her love life. Nida also reportedly isn’t bothered by CT Tamburello’s legally married status. The only issue would be whether he’s being honest and transparent with Phaedra. Additionally, if CT ends up spending time with Ayden and Dylan, Apollo said he doesn’t plan to “be an a*shole.”

Nida and Parks separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2017. He’s single and open to love and marriage, he told TMZ.

What To Know About The New Couple

Amid rumors, Phaedra Parks said on ‘Jeff Lewis Live’ that her upcoming date with CT to the Emmys is not platonic. She also confirmed they’ve been out together before. However, she didn’t say how long they’d been dating amid his divorce or share any thoughts regarding that situation. As for how their romance began, she said on the show that it popped off in Los Angeles. This week, they’re going to be spending time in New York City for a work commitment, she also said. TMZ caught up with the couple at LAX this past weekend and videotaped him wrapping his arms around Parks and kissing her on the cheek. He has yet to publicly comment on their status or how he feels about ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star. 

CT Tamburello’s Ex-Wife Sends Him A Message

As previously reported, Catalina White is the estranged wife of CT Tamburello. The couple got married in October 2024. But earlier this year, in January, Catalina filed to divorce him, citing an “irretrievably broken” marriage. After E! News reported on CT’s relationship with Phaedra Parks, White slid into their Instagram comment section. She directed a short, but strong message at her estranged husband, writing, “Sign the papers.” It’s unclear what’s causing the stall on the divorce. In the paperwork, Catalina sought an equal division of their marital assets and debts, but requested that they both be spared from paying alimony.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Conner Leavitt broke his silence after some Dancing With the Stars fans expressed frustration with his casting.

“Hi, I’m Whitney’s husband. text ‘Conner L’ to 21523 😜,” Conner, 32, who has been married to DWTS season 34 contestant Whitney Leavitt since 2016, captioned a TikTok post on Monday, September 7.

The social media video showed Conner and his DWTS pro partner, Adele Zaikman, pretending to read comments about him on his phone before becoming visibly upset by what they saw online.

“POV: You get cast on DWTS and find out ‘nepo husband’ doesn’t count as ‘star,’” Conner wrote in the video.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt and her husband, Conner Leavitt, have navigated ups and downs together. The couple met in the early 2010s when Whitney served her Mormon mission in Georgia, where Conner’s family was based at the time. “It’s just [a] coincidence. How cool is that?” Whitney recalled to Vulture […]

Whitney, 33, addressed the backlash as well in her own TikTok video, which read, “When someone says our nepo daddy isn’t a star.” Conner replied to the show of support, writing, “Yall are the reason I Nepo so hard 🤘🔥🖤 love you guys so much 🖤🥹.”

Reality TV fans were introduced to the couple when The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered in September 2024. During the season 1 premiere, Conner and Whitney relocated from Hawaii to Utah, which they had previously left after he admitted to having a secret Tinder account to solicit NSFW images.

Conner and Whitney, who shared two kids at the time, worked on their marriage and later expanded their family with a third baby.

“It takes time, and it takes a lot of work. I remember being in therapy, and my therapist asked me, ‘Before we even dive into this, you need to decide is this something you want to work out or something you don’t want to work out?’” Whitney exclusively told Us in September 2024. “It was something I really had to sit down [and think], ‘Did I want to rebuild this trust?’ That doesn’t mean that things aren’t still triggering to me. When it is, then I’m going to work it out and just keep moving forward.”

After viewers started to speculate about Conner’s sexuality, the pair poked fun at the comments.

“Do I need to put out a sex tape or something? Trust me, we’re good. Like, everything is fine,” Whitney quipped on the “Off the Vine” podcast in October 2024. “I think it’s because, like, when we were going through our personal stuff — and I know you haven’t seen it, but he struggled through a porn addiction — and there’s a scene where one of my friends says something along the lines like, ‘Oh, I can see how he was confused sexually.’”

Conner, for his part, opened up about working through trauma after he was sexually abused as a child.

“I had a really big problem with pornography. On top of that, I had a presence on a dating website — not because I didn’t love my wife but because I felt like I needed validation,” he explained during the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 reunion in June 2025. “I needed to get help. So we started going to therapy and trying to figure out why — and I knew why.”

Conner revealed that he only shared his history “with Whitney, my therapist and my family” before addressing it on screen.

“When I was a little boy, I was raped. When I was finally honest with that emotion and that memory, everything made sense,” he said in the emotional joint interview with Whitney. “The validation I needed … I hate that I did that to you. But I’m so proud that I was able to be honest with you and start working through some really, really hard stuff.”

Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli became friends while playing love interests on Off Campus, but fans have since speculated that the pair could be at odds.

Based on the Off-Campus book series by Elle Kennedy, the Prime Video show follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives as they “grapple with love, heartbreak and self-discovery — forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood,” per the official synopsis.

The love story between Hannah (Bright) and Garrett (Cameli) took center stage during season 1, which debuted in May 2026. Off screen, Bright and Cameli formed a close bond, but to the dismay of some fans, remained strictly platonic.

Bright also addressed backlash after some audience members questioned her filming sex scenes with Cameli, who was 28, when she was just 18.

“For Hannah, the briefing was partial nudity, and for Allie, it had to be full [nudity]. That was just because Allie has got this amazing confidence about her and she is so free with her body and sex is just such an important part of her life,” Bright explained on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in June 2026, comparing her character and Mika Abdalla’s Allie. “It’s honestly just showing the difference between these characters.”

She continued: “For Hannah — obviously, given her backstory [with sexual assault] — she dresses more innocently and she’s got the skinny jeans and the hoodies. It just shows the dichotomy between the characters. That was always — from the beginning — the idea.”

Bright emphasized that “everyone had [a] full understanding of what we were going into” during the audition process.

As Off Campus became a worldwide hit, the cast has had to dodge various rumors and fan comments about their personal lives. Bright and Cameli, however, have opted to remain more tight-lipped — especially after claims of a possible feud off screen.

A24 has released the first teaser trailer for You Can See Everything, a new documentary from directors Nathan Fielderand Lance Oppenheim centered on convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.

The project was filmed largely in secret over the course of three years and was finally revealed during a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival. The documentary begins just 34 days before Holmes was scheduled to report to federal prison, after she invited a skeptical film crew into her life in an attempt to document her side of the story.

Rather than becoming a traditional documentary about the rise and fall of Theranos, the film reportedly evolves into something far stranger. Fielder and Oppenheim were given extensive access to Holmes, her partner Billy Evans, and their family before her incarceration, with the resulting footage developing into what A24 describes as a three-year journey that increasingly blurs the boundaries between observation, performance and reality.

The newly released teaser gives audiences their first look at the unusual dynamic between Fielder and Holmes, with the two sitting face-to-face as Fielder questions whether Holmes is being genuine with him.

You Can See Everything will be released exclusively in theaters this October through A24.

Bruce Campbell and The Evil Dead have been practically inseparable for more than four decades. Ash Williams turned Campbell into a horror icon, and even as the franchise has grown well beyond the cabin where it all started, Campbell has remained one of the people helping steer the ship. Campbell has already retired Ash Williams, something he would very much like everyone to remember he announced years ago, but that didn’t mean he was done with Evil Dead altogether, despite not wanting to return to that particular role.

Instead, Campbell moved behind the scenes, remaining involved as a producer alongside longtime collaborators Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert as a new generation of filmmakers got their chance to unleash the Deadites. The results have proven that Evil Dead can absolutely survive without Ash wielding the chainsaw, but Campbell has never been all that far away. Until now, at least, because it turns out, retiring Ash isn’t the only way his relationship with the franchise is going to change.

Now, Campbell is ready to take another step back. While speaking with Collider’s Aidan Kelley about his new film Ernie & Emma, Campbell revealed that he has started distancing himself from the producing side of Evil Dead, though that doesn’t mean he’s completely leaving the franchise behind. “I am, to a degree. I’m even distancing myself a little bit from that,” Campbell said when asked about his continued involvement as an Evil Dead producer.

‘Ernie & Emma’ Helped Bruce Campbell Step Away From the Studio System

Campbell explained that he “didn’t have a whole lot to do with Evil Dead Burn,” marking a significant change from the previous installments, where Campbell was willing to follow the movies all the way through post-production. “The previous two movies, I would uproot myself and go to Copenhagen or wherever they’re doing post-production, and I’d live there and sit in on the mix,” said Campbell. “I’m very interested in sound and all that.”

The decision isn’t the result of a falling out with Raimi, Tapert, or the filmmakers now carrying Evil Dead forward. Instead, Campbell has simply grown tired of working within the studio system. He recalled watching filmmakers receive extensive notes throughout the development process and realizing that, unlike his longtime partners, he never particularly enjoyed navigating that world. “I realized I have two partners, Rob Tapert [and] Sam Raimi. They know executives by name. I never knew any of these guys,” Campbell explained.

“They’ve been in the studio game from the go-get, they make studio movies. They get that world. I never got it, never understood it, and I never liked it.”

Campbell stressed that his decision has nothing to do with the people he has spent decades making Evil Dead alongside. He still partners with Raimi and Tapert, but he reached a point where he didn’t feel like he could give the producing side of the franchise the enthusiasm it deserved. “I’m still partners with those guys, but I couldn’t get as joyfully involved as I should be as a partner,” Campbell said. “And I said, ‘You guys, you guys don’t want a grumpy partner on this. Let me just step aside.’”

That doesn’t mean Campbell has stopped paying attention to where Evil Dead goes next. In fact, he seems more than comfortable handing the franchise over to the filmmakers who have helped reinvent it. Campbell praised the directors behind the more recent movies, pointing to Fede Álvarez and Lee Cronin as evidence that Evil Dead has found filmmakers capable of taking what he, Raimi, and Tapert started and making it their own. “They’re all good filmmakers,” said Campbell, “and so they’re in pretty good hands with the guys.”

That’s ultimately why he asked, “to just kind of get off the treadmill to a degree.” And when Kelley asked whether he was at least still somewhat involved, Campbell offered one final reassurance: “I’m aware of what’s going on.” So, no, Campbell isn’t completely saying goodbye to Evil Dead. His days of moving overseas to sit in on the production may be behind him, and Ash Williams remains firmly retired, but Campbell isn’t cutting himself off from the franchise that has defined so much of his career.

It’s now just over 100 days until the doors to Hogwarts open again and young Dominic McLaughlin takes over from Daniel Radcliffe as the titular Boy Who Lived. On December 25, the first of HBO’s ambitious adaptation of all seven of the Harry Potter novels begins in the shadow of controversy surrounding the Wizarding World’s creator, J.K. Rowling. The cast for Season 1 includes the aforementioned McLaughlin, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, and John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, and many more eye-catching names.

Production on Season 1 of Harry Potter ended in Spring this year, with HBO wasting no time in starting production on the second season, which has already added some important names to the cast. Billy Barratt (Invasion) has been added as Tom Riddle in Harry Potter Season 2, The Chamber of Secrets, with Lenny Rush and Bonnie Hill playing Dobby and Ginny Weasley, respectively. Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) has also been added as Gilderoy Lockhart, taking over from Nicholas Hoult stepping back from the role due to scheduling conflicts.

But it seems these new faces are now facing their first big hurdle when it comes to filming Harry Potter Season 2. According to The Sun, with scripts yet to be finished and signed off, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is now facing weeks of delays. According to The Sun’s sources, this is apparently due to higher-ups wanting “the plot and characterizations to be perfect,” with production pushed back to October. Warner Bros. or HBO have yet to comment on the report.

HBO’s New ‘Harry Potter’ Reboot Is Already Breaking Records

Many months before McLaughlin’s Harry Potter first appears on-screen alongside his best friends Hermione and Ron (Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout), the new Harry Potter adaptation is already breaking records. The first trailer for the new series went live in March and quickly earned 277 million organic views in just 48 hours, which officially broke a record for HBO. The most recent trailer, which debuted last week, offered the most detailed look at the series yet, giving fans a glimpse at just how dedicated this team is to recreating the books, including characters and locations that went entirely missing from the film franchise.

Harry Potter debuts on Christmas Day. Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest updates.
