Young and Restless 2-Week Spoilers July 27-Aug 7: Victor Scores Huge Win & Sally Spins Deceit!
Young and the Restless 2-Week Spoilers for July 27 – August 7, 2026 are going to see Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) getting a big win that he absolutely does not deserve, but he gets it anyway. And also, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is desperate to keep a really big lie going.
Also, in the two weeks of July 27th through August 7th, we’ve got Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) coming back, Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) spiraling, and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) having a huge setback in his recovery from addiction. We got all that and tons more. Let’s get into it.
Young and the Restless: Nikki’s Blindness and Adam’s Secret Deal
On Monday, July 27th, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) is frustrated. She gives up on the idea of putting on makeup and heads downstairs to tell Victor that she had a bad night. Nikki admits she broke her mirror because she’s so upset. And Victor is sure that Nikki’s sight will return, but she really doesn’t want to get her hopes up. And then she snaps when Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) asks how she is. Nikki’s tired of everybody asking her that same question. And when she tries to storm off, she stumbles and nearly falls, but Victor catches her. Nikki burst into tears, saying she hates this.
We’ve also got Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) facing scrutiny from Victor when he doesn’t buy their story about how they got Newman Media back from Sally. And Victoria is there also skeptical of why Sally would just hand over the company for nothing. Adam claims they intimidated Sally and Chelsea backs up Adam’s story. When Victor and Victoria keep sniping at them, Adam finally loses it and says he’s been nothing but loyal.
And Chelsea insists that Victor should be thanking Adam instead of grilling him. But Victor is suspicious because Adam is so defensive and he rants that nothing is a win unless Victor makes it happen. And then Adam and Chelsea storm out and Victoria tells Victor that she agrees with him something’s going on and she’s going to find out what Adam and Chelsea are hiding. So she heads over to Billy’s place.
Y&R Spoilers: Sally Worries about Billy’s Reaction
Elsewhere, Sally and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) are celebrating their deal with Adam. But Audra worries how Billy is going to react. She thinks Sally needs to tell Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) before he hears it elsewhere. Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) calls Billy about signing his Chancellor contract. He says he’ll send it to Cane soon. Meanwhile, Billy dodges a call from Jill Abbott (Jess Walton).
And then he takes a call from Sally, who tells Billy she made a really big deal and is going to tell him about it in person when she is home soon. Sally tells Audra she’s afraid Billy is going to be angry that she gave the gift that he gave her back to Adam, his greatest enemy.
And before Sally can get there, Victoria shows up to their place and she tells Billy that Sally just gave Newman Media back to Adam and Victoria asks how Billy feels about that. Did it shock him? And he’s quick on his feet. And Billy pretends to Victoria that he already knew about it. But Billy also says he doesn’t work at Spectra-Charles and doesn’t question Sally’s business decisions.
Victoria wants the details of Sally’s deal with Adam. But then Sally walks through the door and Billy says he and Victoria were just discussing Sally’s deal that she cut with Adam. And Sally tells Victoria she and Audra gave Newman Media back because they didn’t want to be at war with Victor. And then Sally lies to Victoria, says she didn’t get any payment for it.
Young and Restless: Romance and Dangerous Setbacks
Victoria leaves and Billy immediately lashes out that he had to hear it from Victoria. And Billy assumes that Adam and Chelsea forced Sally to give the company back. And Billy promises to get it back for her, but Sally says, “No, don’t do that.” Meanwhile, Chelsea and Adam discuss keeping their deal a secret from Victor because it’ll cause problems if he finds out. Adam is really hoping that Sally and Audra keep their promise to stay quiet, keep the lie going.
Chelsea is certain they’ve got Victor and Victoria fooled, but Adam is a little smarter. He’s not so sure. He doesn’t like that Newman Media is still under the Newman umbrella and instead Adam tells Chelsea he’s over all the drama. Adam just wants to work with Chelsea apart from the Newman family stuff and he just wants to spend time with her and Connor.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Billy Furious & Lily & Cane Heat Up
Then, on Tuesday, July 28th, Nikki feels the walls closing in on her as she continues to struggle and adjust to being blind, at least in the short run. And on Wednesday, July 29th, we’ve got Billy showing up to interrogate Adam. Even though Sally told Billy to leave it alone, of course, he won’t. I’m sure he doesn’t believe Sally that Adam didn’t do her dirty.
And I bet Billy thinks Chelsea and Adam bullied pregnant Sally, and that’s going to have Billy on fire and ready to rumble with Adam. Nikki’s condition takes a surprising turn. It would be incredible if she gets her vision back already, but maybe she’ll start to see light and shadow, which would be a good sign that things are coming back.
Sparks are flying for Cane and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). She invites Cane over to her penthouse pad. He’s smiling and reminding Lily that she made him CEO of Chancellor and now invited him over to her house. So, Cane thinks she’s starting to like him. And I can absolutely see Lily and Cane getting intimate very soon.
Y&R Spoilers: Matt’s a Free Man
Thursday, July 30th, Matt Clark (Roger Howorth) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) make a toast to their future. Also, she’s able to get Matt’s ankle monitor off of him, and Phyllis says, “We did it. Got it off. You’re free as a bird.” So, we’ll see if Matt winds up in Phyllis’s bed after this happens as part of their big celebration. Even with a monitor off, I doubt that Matt is going anywhere.
And Lily sets clear boundaries with Cane. If they do end up in bed together, Lily might make it perfectly clear that having Cane over to her place doesn’t mean they’re officially reunited. I’m sure he’ll take whatever Lily offers him, though, even if it’s scraps.
Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) gets Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) to open up to him. Daniel tells Abby she looks like she could use a friend and asks if she’ll settle for him. And I’m sure this is about Devon’s anger issues, which is actually something Daniel will have a perspective on because he’s had some of those in the past himself.
Young and Restless: Mariah’s Return and Nick’s Relapse
Then on Friday, July 31st, we have got Victor and Nikki, all smiles, and we have Victor and Nikki committing to starting fresh as a married couple. So, it looks like she’s basically back to enabling Victor despite all the horrible things he’s done to her bestie, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).
Matt tries to make up for what he did to Sienna. I’m interested to see how that’s even possible, especially since Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) doesn’t want him near Sienna. And Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) tells Noah that his dad Nick had a setback.
Could be that he caved and called his old dealer and got some pills. Mariah is back in Genoa City at the end of this week and Sharon’s going to be thrilled to see her daughter, but I am certain that Devon is going to be amped up since Mariah is responsible for his anger issues.


Young and the Restless Spoilers: Mariah Helps Devon
Then the week of August 3rd through the 7th, we have got good news for Nikki because Jack’s not going to hold it against Nikki that she reunited with Victor because Jack already was encouraging Nikki to get back with Victor, especially given her new health concerns.
And with Mariah back, I expect Abby is going to appeal to Mariah, tell her what Devon’s been going through, because she’s honestly somebody who could really help him work through these issues. And I’m sure Mariah is going to feel responsible for what Devon’s going through. I’m also wondering if we’ll see Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Aria back in Genoa City as well.
Y&R Spoilers: Nick Heads to Rehab
And we may see Nick desperately needing a trip to rehab soon, especially since he is increasingly worked up about Matt and Phyllis and getting texts from his dealer and then has a setback the prior week. Lily and Cane are in uncharted territory. They might just be casual, but it’s great progress. They’re sizzling.
Nikki’s vision may begin to return soon, and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) could make progress in his plot to destroy Victor by using Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) if the DA will work with him. I also suspect we’re going to see Matt and Phyllis getting a lot closer soon, and I doubt that Matt’s going to leave Genoa City.

Family Reportedly Seeks Social Media Account Data
Nolan Wells’ family has reportedly issued subpoenas to several social media companies for access to his account information and data.
RELATED: Warren Hudson Reveals Why He Chose Not To Attend Nolan Wells’ Funeral (VIDEO)
Nolan Wells’ Family Reportedly Takes New Step In Search For Answers
Nolan Wells’ family reportedly issued the subpoenas on Tuesday, July 28, seeking records from his accounts on Snapchat, WhatsApp, TikTok, Meta Platforms, and Life360. Court documents show the family requested account details, including usernames, passwords, emails, phone numbers, display names, IP addresses, and communications such as chats, posts, and stories.
Nolan’s phone remains a key focus in the investigation into his death, which gained national attention earlier this month. His mother, Christine Wonsley, previously said the family became concerned after they received his phone and found no photos or videos on his Snapchat accounts, raising fears that the content might have been deleted, per The Shade Room.
Warren Hudson Previously Addressed Claims Of Deleted Content From Wells’ Phone
As TSR previously reported, Officer Tatum shared part four of his podcast interview with Warren Hudson. Hudson, a reported friend of Wells, explained that many people spent the Fourth of July on Horn Island, and some left their phones behind on the boat. He added that several phones remained with the group after they returned to the house later that night. He said no one had a reason to go through Nolan’s phone or delete any content.
“And the boat was having issues. Why would our concern be getting on Nolan’s phone or something? I mean, I don’t even know Nolan’s password. None of our friends do… I didn’t even touch Nolan’s phone. None of us touched Nolan’s phone […] until we handed it to mom that was at my buddy’s house,” Warren explained.
Nolan’s Friends Reportedly Receive Notices Ahead Of Potential Legal Action
Before Nolan Wells’ family reportedly issued subpoenas to social media companies, Magnolia Tribune reported that several of Nolan’s friends and their parents received spoliation letters from Carroll Bufkin, PLLC, on July 20. Attorneys use spoliation letters to notify individuals that they must preserve potential evidence connected to a legal matter. The letters typically warn recipients against deleting, altering, or destroying information that could become important in a future lawsuit. Sending a spoliation letter often marks an early step before someone pursues legal action.
The same law firm is reportedly handling the subpoenas sent to the social media companies.

34 Years Later, Peter Gabriel’s Most Heartbreaking Song Still Captures the End of an Era
Peter Gabriel‘s career has been one of the most prolific and groundbreaking in music history. From his beginnings in Genesis, where his progressive rock compositions and shocking and disruptive stage performances stunned audiences, to his incredible solo career, where he experimented with rhythms and sounds from around the world, he never stopped reinventing himself. He now has an album coming up at the end of 2026, and the singles he has released so far prove that he’s not slowing down.
Most of his biggest hits came out during the ’80s and ’90s, and they range from funk and dance rock tracks like “Sledgehammer” to beautiful, moving ballads. On his 1992 album, Us, he recruited Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor and recorded a few duets with her. One of them is his hit ballad, “Come Talk to Me.” Most likely, when fans first listened to this song, they assumed it was a classic love song about estranged lovers. But the true meaning behind it is more heartbreaking. Gabriel wrote it about his daughter, and it was a desperate attempt at connection.
Why Peter Gabriel Wrote His Most Personal Song for His Daughter
“Come Talk to Me” opens Peter Gabriel’s 1992 album, Us, the album that he described as his most vulnerable one. And with good reason. Right away, the song reveals the many different influences he wanted to include from around the world. It starts with distorted guitars, African drums, synthesizers, and bagpipes, creating a dissonant but hypnotic sound. According to Peter Gabriel, it grew out of a Senegalese groove he’d recorded years before. “I tried to introduce quite a lot of textures, so it’s more of a journey than some of the other tracks,” he explained. “Starting off with these bagpipes, there’s something gutsy and primal about the sound of pipes.”
Who’s Your Perfect Classic Rock Band?
But while the rich melody is beautiful, the lyrics are the most moving part. Especially considering the real meaning behind it. “Darkness creeps in like a thief / And offers no relief / Why are you shaking like a leaf? / Come on, come talk to me,” Gabriel sings earnestly, before going into a chorus that is basically a plea. “Oh please talk to me / Won’t you please talk to me / We can unlock this misery / Come on, come talk to me / I did not come to steal / This all is so unreal / Can’t you show me how you feel? / Now come on, come talk to me.”
Around the time he was writing this album, he was divorcing his first wife, and his family was struggling as a result. “In ‘Come Talk To Me’ there’s a block in communicating,” Gabriel shared, and added that it was with one of his daughters. “I saw that she was angry and was unable to externalize her feelings, so it was a real cry from the heart.”
The Pain Behind ‘Us’ Shaped Peter Gabriel’s Greatest Songs
His estrangement from his daughter and the end of his marriage were weighing on Gabriel, and this album, Us, is very vulnerable as a result. But vulnerability doesn’t mean it’s grim; it just means it’s honest. And Gabriel was proud of that. “I don’t think the tone of the album is dark,” Gabriel argued. “It feels quite alive for the fact that it is letting stuff out, and relationships are more directly addressed than before… I feel that by looking in the darkness and by plunging into it, diving into it, that there is some light at the other end of it, which otherwise you bury, it gets suppressed. It feels quite hopeful to me, quite positive.”
“I have never been more sincere in my life. Whether that’s sincere enough, I don’t know. But I do know that I have taken a lot of trouble to give the listener an unadulterated glimpse of my inner life. Therapy taught me that it’s always essential to be open about one’s feelings and emotions, in order to get a grip on them,” he went on. For him, working on the album was the best way to do that. He explained that, while his life was falling apart around him, he felt that music was something he could control. The theme of the album, at its core, is connection and communication. Everything he felt he couldn’t say to his family, and especially to his daughter, he was saying through music. It makes the name Us take on a whole different meaning. And it’s clearly perfectly fitting.

Outer Banks Season 5 Trailer Hints at More Deaths After JJ Exit
The first look at Outer Banks‘ final season hinted at more potential deaths after Rudy Pankow‘s controversial exit as JJ.
Netflix released the official trailer on Wednesday, July 28, which showed John B. (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) mourning the loss of JJ. They ultimately decide on a revenge plan that seems to led to some potentially fatal moments including someone on a motorcycle falling off a cliff, deadly explosives and more.
Outer Banks, which debuted in 2020, follows the conflict between two groups of teenagers in a coastal North Carolina town. The social divide is introduced with the wealthy residents (a.k.a. the Kooks) and the working class (the Pogues).
Season 5, which premieres August 20, will follow the aftermath of JJ’s shocking death. The show originally received backlash when Pankow’s departure was confirmed despite the writing team claiming it was always the plan to kill off the fan-favorite character.
“It’s been kind of lurking in his DNA from the beginning. He’s really a tragic figure, and the idea of mortality, and you only have a finite window — it’s also a theme of the show,” executive producer Jonas Pate told The Hollywood Reporter in November 2024. “It’s something John B. has talked about from the first season. So believe it or not, this is something that was always sort of baked in the cake, and we just wanted to tell the story as elegantly and interestingly as possible.”
After JJ’s onscreen death, the show’s creators explained their decision to kill off a Pogue.
“The overarching plan was to begin with just some kids who wanted to have a good time all the time, and take them on a whole journey,” Shannon Burke told Deadline in November 2024. “One of them was going to end up dying, and pretty early on, we knew that was going to be JJ, he’s the most reckless. He is also the most beloved and, in one way, the most sacrificing and the most risk-taking. And this was going to be JJ’s year.”
He continued: “The kids, they’re getting older. We wanted to begin in a place of innocence and then go to a place that at least one point to go is really dark for them, and then have them come out of it. That’s the overarching plan for the show. It was always JJ that was going to be, we just weren’t sure how we were going to play it.”
Viewers subsequently started to question whether Pankow’s exit came as a result of a rumored rift between him and the cast, which includes characters John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, JJ and Cleo (Carlacia Grant).
Pankow, 28, for his part, has said that he thinks JJ’s death was meant to move the story along.
“When I first found out JJ was gonna risk it all and not make it, I understood it. And the risks got bigger and bigger, and the stakes got higher and higher,” he explained to Netflix’s Tudum that same month. “His death really does set up the future of OBX with the question, what is worth it? And when someone that close to you is gone, how do you navigate that?”
Outer Banks is currently streaming on Netflix.

Eva Mendes Blasts ‘Fake’ Ryan Gosling And Johnny Depp Image
Eva Mendes is making it clear that a viral image appearing to show Ryan Gosling and Johnny Depp together at San Diego Comic-Con never happened. The actress called out an Instagram account after it shared an AI-generated picture depicting her longtime partner walking alongside Depp at the convention. Although both actors attended the event, their appearances occurred on separate days, and there is no evidence they spent time together. Eva Mendes’ response prompted the account to apologize and change its caption to identify the image as artificial intelligence.

The fabricated picture was shared by the Instagram account @opavisions and showed Gosling walking through the Comic-Con crowds alongside Depp, who was dressed as Ebenezer Scrooge. A character named Slopaxo also appeared partially in the image and was tagged in the post. The original caption presented the scene as if it were a genuine candid moment from the convention.
“Some of our favorite moments from Comic-Con weren’t on stage; they were watching Ryan Gosling, Johnny Depp, and @slopaxo moving through the crowds like the unlikeliest best-friend trio,” the caption read. “Between candid walks, conversations with fans, and spontaneous stops, they quietly became one of the weekend’s most memorable sights.”
Mendes quickly entered the comment section to correct the claim. “FAKE. Please let People know when you’re putting out AI,” she wrote.
Instagram Account Apologizes After Being Called Out
Following Mendes’ response, the account acknowledged that the image was not authentic and promised to be more transparent. “@evamendes DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS AI***,” the account wrote.
“Thank you for saying something. You’re right, and I’ll be more clear going forward,” the message continued before praising Mendes and Gosling’s respective careers.
The account reportedly issued an additional apology with, “Ok we will sorry,” and later added, “Wow. I’m a big fan. I love your movies.” Comments have since been disabled on the post, while its lengthy original caption has been replaced with one word: “AI.”
Although the post has now been labeled, the initial presentation gave viewers no clear indication that the scene had been artificially created.
Johnny Depp Appeared At Comic-Con As Ebenezer Scrooge

Part of what made the fabricated image appear believable was Depp’s elaborate Ebenezer Scrooge costume, which he genuinely wore during Comic-Con. The actor made a surprise appearance in San Diego to promote “Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol,” scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 13.
Organizers constructed a mock storefront in the Gaslamp Quarter and covered the surrounding area in artificial snow. A crowd gathered as Christmas carolers performed before Depp emerged in character from the building. Despite fans cheering and calling out to him, Depp maintained Scrooge’s famously irritable demeanor as he moved through the activation.
He later appeared in costume during Collider’s Directors on Directing panel, giving convention attendees a closer look at his transformation for the forthcoming film.
Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider Casting Was Revealed Days Later

Gosling made his own surprise Comic-Con appearance on Saturday, when Marvel announced that he will portray Ghost Rider in an upcoming standalone film. Shawn Levy will direct the project, which is slated for release in 2028. The filmmaker recently worked with Gosling on “Star Wars: Starfighter,” scheduled to premiere on May 28, 2027.
“Gosling is the absolute sh-t. I say that with tremendous respect,” Levy told the Comic-Con audience. “We spent a lot of time last year making Starfighter, and the opportunity as Ryan started talking about this character, I was like, “Bro, let’s ride.” We’ll see you in 2028!”
The project will mark Gosling’s entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and reunite him with Levy behind the camera.
Eva Mendes Has Her Own Connection To ‘Ghost Rider’

Gosling’s casting creates an unexpected full-circle moment for Mendes, who previously appeared in the 2007 “Ghost Rider” movie starring Nicolas Cage. Mendes portrayed Roxanne Simpson, the former girlfriend and love interest of Cage’s Johnny Blaze. The film earned approximately $229 million worldwide against a reported production budget of about $110 million.
The actress has publicly supported Gosling’s casting in the new adaptation, making her connection to the franchise even more personal. However, Mendes was considerably less enthusiastic about seeing her partner placed into a fictional Comic-Con encounter without an upfront disclosure.

Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Officially Closes In on 2026’s Biggest Sci-Fi Box Office Milestone
Following one of the most impressive opening weekends of the year, where it broke numerous records, including becoming its director and star’s highest-grossing opening yet, Christopher Nolan‘s historical epic The Odyssey held that momentum for weekend #2. The blockbuster, which was dubbed an “unrivaled cinematic spectacle” in Joe Schmidt‘s review for Collider, has now sailed to $700 million worldwide, against a $250 million production budget.
Matt Damon finally made the move to leading man in a Nolan movie in The Odyssey, after previously appearing in the likes of Interstellar and Oppenheimer. Add to this a star-studded ensemble including Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Zendaya, the reputation of Nolan, and the promise of a feast of practical filmmaking, and The Odyssey was destined to prove an unstoppable hit. Can it reach the $1 billion mark? After such a strong start, it certainly looks likely, and that would make it only Nolan’s third film to hit this height after The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.
With a global haul of $700 million after just a few weekends, The Odyssey has now surpassed the final box office total of one of 2026’s most defining films. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary made $684 million in global revenue earlier this year, with this total likely to be smashed by The Odyssey in less than a week. Considering just how strong Project Hail Mary‘s theatrical run was, for The Odyssey to make overtaking it look like a breeze is particularly impressive.
Another Movie Just Hit an Enormous Box Office Milestone
It wasn’t just The Odyssey celebrating a successful weekend at the box office. In its sixth weekend, after falling no further than third in the ranks, Pixar’s latest animated sequel, Toy Story 5, has finally reached the box office promised land, breaking the billion-dollar boundary. One of the most successful films of the year, Toy Story 5 is just the third to reach $1 billion in 2026, following in the footsteps of the video game adaptation sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and Antoine Fuqua’s musical biopic, Michael.
The Odyssey is currently available to watch in theaters worldwide. For more of the latest box office stories, stay tuned to Collider.

Usher Reacts To Fan’s “Pretty Privilege” Remarks After Stage Boot
Usher warned a fan during a concert in Birmingham, Alabama, before bringing her onstage. The singer is currently performing in the ‘The R&B Tour,’ and he recently kicked a woman named Gabrielle Cheyenne off the stage after she failed to play along during the fan segment. His new warning also seemed to address Gabrielle’s “pretty privilege” comments.

Usher Seemingly Throws Shade & Warns Fan Before Bringing Her Onstage
Usher is known for his spicy performances during his concerts, and he has a special segment where he brings a female fan onstage while he sings ‘Can U Handle It?’
A fan was kicked offstage recently during the tour, and she later said on social media that she looked too good to decline the offer to go onstage with her “PRETTY PRIVILEGES.” Days later, Usher warned a fan at his Birmingham show, referencing the woman he had previously kicked off the stage.
“Before we get started, don’t bring your a*s up here if you don’t wanna be here,” he said as the audience howled. “God, don’t like ugly, but he most certainly don’t feel too good about pretty privilege, either.”
Woman Kicked Off Stage Explains Her Reaction
During a performance in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, July 25, Usher kicked a fan off stage after bringing her up for the sexy segment of the show. The fan seemed less than enthusiastic as the ‘Climax’ artist attempted to lay her down on a bed, and he waved her off the stage after saying, “I don’t think she wants to be on stage.” The fan, Gabrielle Cheyenne, explained herself on Facebook after receiving backlash.
“First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage. I looked good… you thought I wasn’t gonna let THOUSANDS of people see me?? On the big screen, where you Will never be???? My mom and I had FLOOR SEATS. Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started !! PRETTY PRIVILEGES something you will never know about!! They don’t say what you’re going up there for!! Y’all wanted me to get up there and f**k him atp ?? CHATT FOLKS AREN’T USED TO ANYTHING. That’s the most exciting thing that would’ve happened in y’all little a** lives !! F**k yall, DISRESPECTFULLY
Cheyenne spoke to TMZ on Monday, July 27, and admitted that she wanted to be onstage with Chris Brown, who is also on the tour. Cheyenne said that she was brought to the VIP area but wasn’t told what she would be brought onstage for. She said that she would have reacted differently if it has been Brown onstage with her instead of Usher. She added that she wouldn’t have accepted has she known the VIP offer was for the ‘Yeah!’ artist.
“I’m more of a Chris Brown fan than I am of Usher,” she said. “So, of course, it would have been a different reaction with Chris Brown… it wouldn’ta been the stiffness.”
The fan added that she didn’t mean to ruin the moment, but she prefers one artist over the other.
Fans Have Mixed Reactions To Usher’s Warning
Fan reactions were mixed after the clip was shared on TSR’s Instagram page. Several Roomies were feeling Usher’s warning while others shared their critiques about both fan interactions.
User @anishajanae wrote, “Yall talking about his ego hurt when it’s as simple as, don’t go up there if you don’t want to participate. We’ve seen how these shows go.”
User @gueits wrote, “He said nothing wrong, that girl was playing on them people’s stage .”

Hulu’s ‘Ted Lasso’ Replacement Officially Sets 2026 Release Date
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Sports comedies have been enjoying a bit of a renaissance in the streaming era, arguably ever since the debut of the feelgood Emmy-winning hit Ted Lasso in 2020. Netflix recently took a big swing at the subgenre with its new golf series, The Hawk, starring Will Ferrell as a washed-up former PGA legend aiming to make the big comeback nobody wants him to, but that hat was just the latest example in a line of titles finding laughs among the pros. Apple TV also put its own spin on the game with Owen Wilson‘s Stick, and, just last year, Happy Gilmore 2 made its long-awaited return to the green with Adam Sandler back in the lead role as the former hockey player turned golf legend. Not to be lost in the shuffle is Glen Powell‘s football series Chad Powers, which overcame a lukewarm critical reception to score a touchdown with viewers and earn a Season 2.
Inspired by the Eli’s Places segment where Eli Manning goes undercover as a college walk-on, Chad Powers Season 1 followed canceled football star Russ Holliday (Powell) as he eyes an opportunity to return to football glory after blowing up his reputation in a championship game. With some help from his roommate Danny (Frankie A. Rodriguez), he dons a new face and comes back to the game as Chad Powers, a West Virginia man competing for a starting job on the South Georgia Catfish. Hilarity ensues as he slowly leads the team out of the doldrums while keeping his secret gets harder and harder and the stakes soar ever higher. Season 2 now sees Chad as an established superstar, but with much bigger issues now that assistant coach and will-they-won’t-they love interest Ricky (Perry Mattfield) knows his secret. After filming began in February, that date has now been set for when the titular quarterback will begin the march to the promised land.
Hulu has announced that Season 2 will kick off on September 3, a remarkably quick turnaround less than one year after Season 1’s arrival. Accompanying the date was also a new set of images teasing what’s to come as the Catfish aim for the College Football Playoffs. A couple shots see him working on perfecting the disguise to ward off suspicion while he tries to lead the SEC football team to glory.
