"I came to a lot of things late," The Walking Dead alum told WSJ. Magazine.
Steven Yeun is opening up about his past experiences with recreational drugs.
In a recent interview with WSJ. Magazine, the actor revealed that he "went a little ham" with certain substances before he had children, sharing that he got into it rather "late."
Yeun -- who shares son Malcom, 6, and a 4-year-old daughter with wife Joana Pak -- said that he smoked maijuana in the past, experimented with magic mushrooms and had a one-time experience with LSD.
"I came to a lot of things late," he told the magazine. "I went a little HAM with that stuff, trying to make up for lost time."
Yeun -- whose breakout role was on the AMC series "The Walking Dead" -- added that he found that smoking weed was "effective" in the "slowing down of my mind," noting that it was "necessary."
The "Nope" star described himself as neurotic. "It's the way I've been since I was 4, when I got dropped here and my brain went into a hyperdrive of self-defense," he recalled, adding, "I can obsess over something. I can be taken down by thoughts."
Although Yeun alluded that he stopped experimenting with drugs after he became a dad -- joking that his "entire life is Peppa Pig and Pokémon" -- he admitted that he's interested in trying more psychedelics someday.
"It's becoming standard to do DMT or lick a toad. I haven't done that, but I'd like to, at some point," said Yeun, who will next be seen in the Netflix comedy-drama series, "Beef."

RAYE & 070 Shake - Escapism Lyrics
Intro: RAYE Sleazing and teasing, I'm sitting on him All of my diamonds are dripping on him I met him at the bar, it was twelve or something I ordered two more wines 'cause tonight, I want him
Verse 1: RAYE A little context if you care to listen I find myself in a shit position The man that I love sat me down last night And he told me that it's over, dumb decision And I don't wanna feel how my heart is ripping In fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sipping And I'm out on the town with a simple mission In my little black dress and this shit is sitting
Pre-Chorus: RAYE Just a heart broke bitch, high heels six inch In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex I was looking for a man who was on the same page Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
Chorus: RAYE 'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night I don't wanna feel how I did last night Doctor, doctor, anything, please Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me Take this pain away You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
Verse 2: RAYE Toke this joint how I'm blowing this steam Back to my ways like 2019 Not twenty-four hours since my ex did dead it I got a new man on me, it's about to get sweaty Last night really was the cherry on the cake Been some dark days lately and I'm finding it crippling Excuse my state, I'm as high as your hopes That you'll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzling If I take a step back to see the glass half-full At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm tripping in And I'm already acting like a dick, know what I mean? So you might as well stick it in
Pre-Chorus: RAYE Just a heart broke bitch, high heels six inch In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex I was looking for a man who was on the same page Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
Chorus: RAYE & 070 Shake 'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night I don't wanna feel how I did last night Doctor, doctor, anything, please Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me Take this pain away You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel, mm (What?)
Verse 3: 070 Shake & RAYE 'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night I don't wanna feel like I felt last night Be at peace with the things you can't change (Last night) I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah Out of reach, out of touch Too numb, I don't feel no way Toast up, so what? Street small, but it go both ways So, you'll run, yeah But you'll never escape Sunset in the maze (You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)
Chorus: RAYE I don't wanna feel how I did last night I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh Doctor, doctor, anything, please Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel
Bridge: 070 Shake I don't wanna feel how I did last night I don't wanna feel how I did last night I don't wanna feel how I did last night
Outro: RAYE Mm, lipstick smudged like modern art I don't know where the fuck I am or who's driving the fucking car Speeding down the highway, sipping Mixing pills with the liquor 'cah fuck these feelings I left everyone I love on read (Uh-huh) Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-huh) I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret (Uh-uh) Other than this 4/4 kick drum pounding in my head
In a video posted to Instagram, the reality star admitted she's been using semaglutide, a generic for Ozempic, and has lost more than 10 pounds since administering the drug over the course of four weeks.
"I am on the weight-loss shots, honey, OK," GG explained. "I'm just not going to lie about it because I always keep it real about what is fake."
The television personality claimed that her health issues during the past year made her gain some weight.
"I had to get a lot of steroid injections last year, which caused me to really pack on some weight, and I don't know if it's because I'm 41 years old or I've had a baby," she said. "Whatever it is, I've been having a very, very, very hard time getting rid of that weight."
The Bravolebrity showed viewers a journal she keeps to track her journey on Ozempic, and so far she's gone from 137 pounds to 126. According to her log, she's also doubled her dose from 10 units to 20.
Not only did she confess to using the drug to drop weight, she also showed fans how to inject themselves.
Gharachedaghi demonstrated her step-by-step routine of how she injects herself with a "really, really small needle" on the side of her stomach.
"If you see people out there who just got skinny so fast all of a sudden and claimed they got healthy for the first time in their lives or that they got sober from alcohol that was causing them to gain so much weight … most likely, they're just doing the shots," she said, before slamming other celebrities who have denied using the weight loss drug.
"We know who you are. We see how skinny y'all are getting," she added. "It's not rocket science, just saying."
GG speculated in her caption, "I'm not sure why so many people deny taking the shots. Y'all can judge in the comments section below, but for those interested in trying this, you should hit up my doctor … and get started."
Video shows Paul putting her boyfriend in a chokehold, before throwing barstools at him which also hit her daughter, police say.
A Mormon TikTok star who made headlines last year for her apparent involvement in a "soft swinging" group has been arrested and charged with domestic violence and child abuse.
Taylor Frankie Paul, who boasts more than 4 million followers on TikTok and is part of the #MomTok community, was arrested on February 17 in Herriman, Utah after police responded to a domestic violence report. On Tuesday (via CBS News), she was charged with two felony counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, one felony count of aggravated assault and one misdemeanor count of child abuse and criminal mischief.
Per the probable cause statement, Paul began hitting boyfriend Dakota Mortensen when he tried to leave during an argument. Video from the incident allegedly shows the influencer throwing barstools at Mortensen, hitting him with one which also hit her daughter. According to Page Six, the police report said the girl sustained a bump on her head -- with authorities calling it a "goose egg" -- while the chairs reportedly left holes in the walls.
Taylor is mom to daughter Indy, 5, and son Ocean, 2, who she shares with her ex husband Tate Paul and who were reportedly home at the time of the altercation.
Taylor was allegedly seen putting Mortensen in a chokehold and kicking him in the footage, while he claimed she also threw her phone and a wooden playset at him, which also damaged his car.
"Dakota reported feeling scared for his life. Dakota was observed with redness and swelling around his eyes, swelling on his elbow, scratches on his fingers, and a laceration on his neck," read the docs, which also claimed police saw Paul "strike" her boyfriend as they arrived on the scene.
Paul's next court date is set for March 21.
Speaking with DailyMail last week after her arrest first made headlines, Mortensen said he wasn't the one who called police and claimed "She never hurt anyone intentionally." He also said, "We didn't argue"
"I don't even want the truth to come out. She's so broken right now. I tried to help her," he also said. "She's a good mom, she's going through a lot in her life right now. Taylor's been struggling, it's been a hard year for her. She is racked with guilt on her cheating scandal that cost her her marriage."
That "hard year" for Paul included a high-profile divorce from Tate, after Taylor claimed in May 2022 on TikTok that the pair were part of a "soft swinging" community -- meaning they had an open marriage but would stop short of having penetrative sex with other people. The arrangement went sour, however, after she claimed to have gone too far with someone else in their community ... and some parties involved "developed feelings."
"We had an agreement and I did step out of that agreement and that's where I messed up," she shared on an Instagram Live last year. "No one was innocent, everyone has hooked up with everyone in this situation. It wasn't like I was going around hooking up with my friend's husband."
"We were at a party, I got belligerent and we went and messed up with ourselves, rather with the whole group," she added. "One time. It was a one time thing."
She said the incident led to two divorces in their friend group.
Paul and Mortensen -- who are both active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- went public with their relationship in July, before they revealed in November that she suffered an ectopic pregnancy. The pair split in December, but were spotted back together in January.
Their last post together was on February 12, just days before the arrest. Mortensen later told Daily Mail, "I love Taylor very much and want to have a future with her,."

The manager of AS Roma, Jose Mourinho has been hit with a huge fine following the incident between himself and the fourth official in a league game.
Jose Mourinho
Mourinho was sent off in the game between Roma and the relegation-threatened side, Cremonese in a Serie A game. The Portuguese were not happy about a decision that was taken against his team during the first half of the game and he vented his anger towards the assistant referee.
Serie A confirmed that Mourinho entered the referee's dressing room and used offensive language against the fourth official. The governing body of the league has confirmed that he will not be on the touchline for two games and has also been fined £8,800. However, he is looking to seek legal action against the decision.
I am not crazy, I reacted in that way because something happened. We will see if I can do something from a legal point of view. For the first time in my career, a referee spoke to me in an inexcusable way.
This decision means he will not be available for the game against Juventus and Sassuolo on March 5th and 12th respectively.
The "Shape of You" singer also touched on the death of his best friend and his copyright infringement case while announcing his fifth album.
Ed Sheeran is opening up about an unfortunate series of events that inspired his new album.
In a statement shared to Instagram, the 32-year-old "Perfect" singer announced that his fifth studio album, "-" (Subtract) will be his most personal project to date as it was written during some of the most difficult times in his life.
"I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be," Sheeran began. "Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art."
Though the four-time Grammy winner has previously shared these struggles on Instagram, he hasn't opened up about the details behind the events until now. Some of them include his copyright infringement case for his song "Shape of You," the death of his best friend Jamal Edwards and his wife's health scare during her second pregnancy.
"Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth," Sheeran divulged. His wife Cherry Seaborn gave birth to Jupiter Seaborn Sheeran in July, the couple also share their 2-year-old daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran.
"My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly, and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter," he continued. "I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety. I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air."
Ed explained that songwriting has become his "therapy" and helps him "make sense of my feelings," and the recent events inspired him to rewrite his new album to reflect his experiences.
"I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out, and in just over a week, I replaced a decade's worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts," he said.
"As an artist I didn't feel like I could credibly put a body of work into the world that didn't accurately represent where I am and how I need to express myself at this point in my life," Sheeran further elaborated. "This album is purely that. It's opening the trapdoor into my soul. For the first time I'm not trying to craft an album people will like. I'm merely putting something out that's honest and true to where I am in my adult life."
"This is last February's diary entry and my way of making sense of it. This is Subtract," he concluded.
"-" (Subtract) will be the last album in his mathematical era. It first began in 2011 with his debut album "+" (Plus) and has grown to include "x" (Multiply), "÷" (Divide) and "=" (Equals).
The 72-year-old Montana man was sentenced to 27 years in prison after attempting to lure a single mother and her two daughters, 11 and 13 into becoming his sex slaves.
A man who referred to himself as "Papaw" in a disturbing series of exchanges with what he thought was a single mother of two young girls will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. The court called his conduct "abominable."
Gary Lee Hodges outlined in explicit detail that he was looking for "family sexual relations" with all three, asking if the daughters, 11 and 13, were "consenting," according to an affidavit of probable cause detailed by Law & Crime. He was unaware that he was actually communicating with an undercover police officer.
On December 13, 2021, Hodges first began communicating with the officer on a social media platform for those with sexual fetishes. The officer was pretending to be the mother in this fictional family and told Hodges that her "cubs" liked to play, and that the 11-year-old was a virgin.
When Hodges laid out the "protocols" for the house once he moved in, he explained that he expected all three of them to strip down when he entered the house, folding their clothes neatly and kneeling before him. They would then ring a bell and he would bring them what he wanted them to wear.
He made it clear that he was looking forward to again being a father figure, "along with the sex with all three." He even detailed how a "shared family moment" would serve as the 11-year-old girl's first sexual experience, followed by planned regular instances of sexual intercourse and oral sex with both minors.
He told the undercover officer that he wanted to homeschool the girls and that they would have to stop communicating with their boyfriends, if they had any, to focus entirely on their relationships with him.
The faux relationship escalated by Christmas, with Hodges asking and subsequently sending "numerous pairs of lace panties and silky camisoles" for all three individuals he believed existed. He also booked a trip to Washington, D.C. with plans to take the girls to the zoo.
The man who referred to himself as "Papaw" subsequently initiated what he thought was communications with the 13-year-old girl, explaining that he was going to move in as a "permanent grandfather of sorts" and told her he'd prefer she wear the lingerie without a bra "so I can enjoy seeing your figure."
Finally, he planned a trip to West Virginia, where he believed this family lived, for January 14, 2022, where he was ultimately arrested. His spoken plan was to stay with them for several days so that he could sleep in the same bed with each girl the first two nights and have sex with the older girl on the third.
In June 2022, Hodges pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity. On Friday, he was sentenced in the Southern District of West Virginia to 27 years in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release. He must also register as a sex offender.
The records for Carter County Detention Center in Kentucky have Hodges listed as having been booked there on December 30, 2022 after he was arrested by U.S. Marshalls.
According to the government's sentencing memo, per Law & Crime, this was not Hodges first sexual offense involving a minor. In a 2006 case document, Hodges transported a 17-year-old across state lines to live with him.
The victim said that she was sexually abused by Hodges multiple times prior to her 18th birthday. She also said she observed child pornography on his computer, with the current case finding the same based on a search of his home and computer, as well as Hodges' statement.
Kotb has been absent from the NBC morning show for over a week.
The TODAY show has offered an update regarding Hoda Kotb's extended absence.
On Wednesday's broadcast, Kotb's TODAY co-anchor Craig Melvin shared that Kotb -- who hasn't appeared on the show over a week -- has been absent due to a "family health matter."
"We can tell you that Hoda has a family health matter that she's been dealing with," Melvin said, before also noting Savannah Guthrie's absence. "We look forward to seeing Hoda and Savannah [Guthrie] back on the desk."
Kotb, 58, hasn't appeared on the live broadcast since February 17. However, she was seen in a pre-taped segment that aired on President's Day on February 20. In addition, the most recently released episode of her podcast, "Making Space," was on also on February 20. The TODAY channel podcast's episodes usually drop weekly.
Kotb -- who shares daughters Haley, 5, and Hope, 3, with her ex-fiancé, Joel Schiffman --hasn't publicly spoken about her absence. However, she's been consistently posting inspirational and heartfelt quotes on her Instagram.
Both @SavannahGuthrie and @HodaKotb are off today, with Savannah recovering from a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. As for Hoda, she is okay and handling a family health matter. We're sending our love to them both and can't wait to see them in the studio soon 🧡 pic.twitter.com/EcfVV1zsac
The TV personality last posted two day ago, sharing a photo of a small canvas that read: "Choose hope."
The post's comments section was flooded with messages from concerned fans who asked about her noticeable absence from TODAY.
TODAY addressing Kotb's absence comes just one day after her co-anchor Savannah Guthrie left the NBC morning show early on Tuesday after she tested positive for Covid-19.
During TODAY's 8 a.m. hour, Sheinelle Jones revealed the news on-air while reporting alongside her co-anchors Carson Daly and Al Roker.
"By the way, it has been an interesting morning for us," Jones explained. "As we said, Savannah left early, she wasn't feeling great, so she took a Covid test. It came back positive."
"So, of course, as soon as we found out, she rushed home to rest up," she added. "So Savannah, we love you, wishing you a speedy recovery."
Both Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo abruptly left RHUGT early last month, after an alleged incident during filming sparked an investigation from Bravo.
Both women left the show in January, as stories came out in the press alleging Glanville kept giving Manzo "unwanted" kisses, before it "escalated" from there. Per People, Glanville was removed by production, before Manzo later decided to leave on her own -- though neither party addressed the alleged incident themselves, until now.
After Glanville was reportedly barred from participating in a reunion special for "The Traitors" due to an ongoing investigation by production, her rep issued a statement saying she "Wanted nothing more than to attend" the reunion, calling it "one of Brandi's favorite projects."
"Brandi has been prohibited from sharing her side of the story and in turn, people have only heard unsubstantiated versions," the statement continued. "Brandi maintains her innocence and vehemently denies any wrongdoing."
At the time of the incident, representatives for Peacock and Shed Media told PEOPLE in a statement: "The safety and security of cast and crew while shooting is extremely important and we take all reports seriously. In this situation, production immediately launched a comprehensive review and is taking appropriate action."
Before today, only Peacock and Shed Media had sounded off on the issue.
"The safety and security of cast and crew while shooting is extremely important and we take all reports seriously. In this situation, production immediately launched a comprehensive review and is taking appropriate action," they said at the time.
Brandi, meanwhile, appeared to address some of the reports about her last month -- by tweeting out, "Check your sources people!!!! 💩"
On the reunion for "The Traitors," which dropped on Tuesday, host Andy Cohen mentioned Brandi and Reza Farahan's absences by simply saying, "Reza and Brandi are unfortunately not able to join us tonight."

Simi had been vocal on her thoughts about the election process which commenced on the 25th of February 2023.
Even God that is all-knowing, understood the power of choice, the necessity of it - and gave us free will. People need the power to choose their path, unhindered - even when/if it's a bad choice. You take that away, you have a shell of a man, woman. You have almost nothing.
The power of choice is power to decide. When you decide wrong, it's power to change your mind. When you decide right, it's power to win. It's one of the worst things to steal from a person.

Michael B. Jordan's "Creed III" co-star Tessa Thompson said she would never objectify her "work friend," joking of the Calvin Klein ad, "I already have it wallpapered at home."
Michael B. Jordan is getting ready to heat up the box office when "Creed III" comes out March 3. The film's director and star got an early start on Tuesday with the debut of his steamy Calvin Klein ads.
The ads quickly went viral and became a major topic of discussion at the premiere. Jordan told ET that he had to apologize to his mom in advance, giving her the heads up about all the thirst that was about to be unleashed.
"I was like, my mama gon' have to see this," Jordan told the outlet. "Let me call her and be like, 'I'm sorry. It's out here. My business all out in the streets -- literally.'"
The 36-year-old star was in fine form in the ad campaign, which featured a series of photos of him adorned in nothing but CK boxer briefs, and a video of him showing off the fit (and his physique).
It seemed to be the topic on the carpet at the premiere, with Jordan's co-star Tessa Thompson ready, locked and loaded with different reactions for multiple media outlets ... though they all shared a common thread.
"Some thoughts you can't talk about, you know?" she told ET. "Some thoughts just exist. They're more feelings that thoughts."
She did find the words to express her thoughts a little more creatively, though, when People asked. "This is great work he's done," she said of the shoot. "Some of it is God-given. Some of it is hard-earned."
She went on to suggest that when Jordan sees himself in the mirror, he might pause for a few moments and think, "Damn, I'm Michael B. Fine!"
"I'm just very proud of him," she added. "I don't objectify him, I never would, he's my work friend so I keep it appropriate."
Appropriate or not, she quipped to E!, "I already have it wallpapered at home."
Thompson wasn't Jordan's only appreciative onlooker, either, as the ads quickly went viral and made a thirsty nation of underwear fans. "The first picture should've been the sexiest man alive cover," joked one fan, while another wondered, "Did MBJ just #BreakTheInternet !?"
Thompson has worked alongside Jordan in all three "Creed" films and spoke with E! about the experience. "There's been so much grown that's happened for us individually as humans and to get to see that growth mirrored and challenged by these characters over the years has been a very rare thing."
Calvin Klein said in a press release that Jordan was chosen for the ad campaign for his "confident ambition," as well as his "discipline and uncompromising commitment to his craft."
"Creed III" marks Jordan's directorial debut. Jordan and Thompson are joined in the film by Jonathan Majors, Phylicia Rashad, Wood Harris, and Florian Munteanu. It arrives in theaters this Friday.
Tito Joe "TJ" Jackson tweeted that his aunt Janet Jackson's more provocative concert choices "degrades and objectifies women in a way that's not healthy."
Janet Jackson is a music industry legend and an icon, gaining praise and accolades for her multi-faceted career and style across decades. One family member, though, doesn't care for her more sensual performances.
The 44-year-old nephew of Janet, Tito Joe "TJ" Jackson, took to Twitter to share his thoughts after a fan posted a clip of Janet performing "Would You" in concert. The provocative moment appeared to include seductive touching of a fan and even mimicking oral sex, per Page Six (the clip has since been restricted).
"I never liked when she did this in concerts either," TJ replied to the tweet. "I don't like when females are overly sexualized in art...it degrades and objectify's [sic] women in a way that's not healthy. I prefer 'That's the Way Love Goes' Janet."
TJ didn't stop there, though, as his tweet emboldened a lively discussion on the social media platform; one in which he heartily engaged.
When one person asked if maybe the problem for him with Janet is because she is his "literal aunt," TJ pushed back and said that it "just diminishes her amazing talent." He dropped a "respect" hashtag on this comment.
Nah...I didn't like it ...it just diminishes her amazing talent. But would love to hear your disagreeement. #respect
The fan pushed back that they don't think a woman being sexual diminishes their talent. "I mean Michael was humping the floor and Prince was...Prince, that don't diminish their talent," the fan wrote. "What's the difference?"
TJ pushed back that Janet "got a lot dirtier" than Michael, but didn't really address the fan's question, instead saying that Black women are treated better outside the US and he believes "it has to do with how we allow ourselves to be projected here."
My aunt got a lot dirtier than my uncle..lol but no help needed. :) I've traveled and seen how black women are treated better outside the states. They are truly and rightfully celebrated more and I believe it has a lot to do with how we allow ourselves to be projected here.
He then went in on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP," saying "it ain't good for your daughters nor mine," reiterating that he sees it taking away from art and diminishing talent.
"I love black women," TJ replied to the fan. "I wish you would respect the black women we put in our music videos and if you are really serious about making a difference stop supporting the negative image many female black celebs today portray. WAP was not a good look. That deserves your energy."
I disagree. But we can disagree. When you take a whole song and make it a shock and awe song and video (like WAP and others) it ain't good for your daughters nor mine. And to me it takes away from art and diminishes talent. Again we can disagree to disagree.
The fan argued that other artists than just Black women have made sexually explicit songs, many of them far more so than anything Janet ever released. TJ conceded the point, but argued, "We don't get many chairs at the table...so we have to be smarter with what we put out there and accept from ourselves."
Ultimately, though, despite his harsh criticism of this one aspect of Janet's career, TJ ultimately praised her as "a trailblazer and an icon."
I agree. She wouldn't have had it any other way. She is a trailblazer and an icon. From Control to RN to All for You to Gone Till It's Gone…There will never be another JJ.
Apparently the back-and-forth on social media about his comments got so strong that he pinned a tweet at the top of his page to try and clarify that he's not trashing his aunt and holds her in the highest regard.
You can check out some of his other comments related to Janet's groundbreaking career and legacy as an artist and provocateur below.
No. Never would. It was in response to WAP. But people on Twitter live for drama. I'll never be cool with our girls seeing flashy imagery of our women & thinking it's cool to say "there's some hoes in the house" over and over… I respect my kind too much. It is what it is though.
To all the black women out there.... know your worth. I truly believe you are the strongest beings on the planet. Don't sell yourself short. Become the queens you are meant to be. #lovealways
Teresa's attempt to make peace on Real Housewives of New Jersey doesn't go as planned, as daughter Gia opens up about her fractured family.
Melissa and Joe Gorga's ongoing feud with Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas hasn't just caused a rift between them, but also their children.
On Tuesday's new episode of "Real Housewives of New Jersey," tensions within the group continued, despite Teresa reaching out to her brother in a half-hearted attempt to smooth things over. While the family members have had a sometimes-contentious relationship for years, it really intensified after Gorga was iced out of being a bridesmaid for Teresa's wedding.
As Teresa called up her brother, she asked him, flat out, "You wanna make peace?" Joe did, but he also hoped to "move forward" without actually addressing any of their past issues -- since talking about them would only "upset" him all over again. This actually sounded great to Teresa, who added, "My therapist says it's not good to talk about the past because you're never gonna get anywhere."
That was about the extent of the conversation, as Teresa invited her brother to her homecoming party. He wound up bailing on the bash, telling his wife Melissa he was "not ready" to attend and also simply didn't want to be there. In a confessional, he said he didn't think his sister actually wanted him there and didn't want to be anywhere where he'd feel uncomfortable.
Melissa wound up attending alone, saying she was "frustrated" her husband didn't show, since she believed Teresa would just use his absence as more evidence he's the "bad guy" in this situation.
At one point, Gorga attempted to make some awkward small talk with nieces Gia and Gabriella, with Melissa telling the girls she really missed seeing them and loves them.
"It's just sad because I truly love the girls deep down inside and I know they have hate for us," Melissa said in a confessional. "I know they do. It's terrible. I wouldn't wish this on anybody."
Gia, meanwhile, noted that "every time my mom and Joe have drama, automatically the kids get separated. A wall just goes up."
Speaking with some of her costars later, Melissa said she thought it was "sad" that the girls' uncle wasn't at the event. "This is Joe's only family and he's not here. That f---ing sucks," she said, before Teresa made things even worse during a speech at the party.
As Giudice and Ruelas addressed their guests, they thanked everyone for coming -- and told them, "You guys are our chosen family. We wouldn't want anyone here but you guys." That only rubbed salt in the wound for Melissa, who eventually retreated to the bathroom to break down.
"I have my own breaking points. I don't get it. These subtle digs," she said in a confessional. "What about all these people that have been here for so many years when she was away? Driving the girls to dance. It all means nothing. And I just know Joe's home very upset."
In a video posted to Instagram this week, the "Dancing With The Stars" performers recreated Rihanna's legendary Super Bowl halftime show with the help of their 6-year-old-son Shai.
Like the Fenty Beauty founder, Peta rocked her baby bump as she and her family took center stage to dance it out to "B***h Better Have My Money."
"We just couldn't help it! Shai stole the show and @petamurgatroyd lived her best life!" the pair captioned the shared post. "By the way, if you REALLY know @maksimc you know that @badgalriri have been his secret crush since 'Umbrella' and for EXTRA EXTRA points which #Riri song is Maks and Peta's favorite and was a must at their wedding."
The short slip featured the father-son duo wearing matching white hoodies, while Peta was on the mic lip syncing to Rihanna's opening number in a two-piece red sweatsuit.
Back in January, Peta and Maks announced they would be welcoming their second child after a long fertility journey that included failed IVF procedures and miscarriages.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month, the happy couple gushed about breaking the news that Shai was going to be a big brother for the first time.
"Because of the way it came about, some difficulties with getting pregnant, we just sort of went with nothing's happening, keep it normal, keep it chill," Maks said of their approach towards their second pregnancy.
Peta recalled, "We actually told [Shai] in our bathroom. He was looking at my stomach, he's like, 'Mommy, you've got a baby in there,' and I was like, 'We do actually.' And he was so excited, just jumping around."
The 36-year-old soon-to-be mom of two has been open about her fertility journey and revealed in a June 2022 interview with PEOPLE that she suffered multiple miscarriages in less than two years -- including one while Maks was overseas in Ukraine.
Last fall, she traveled to visit Maks, 42, in Ukraine -- who was serving as a judge on the country's version of "Dancing with the Stars" at the time -- after she learned she was going to be ovulating.
The dancer contracted Covid-19 during the trip, and while at the couple's Malibu home days later, she suffered a miscarriage. However, she didn't even know she was pregnant at the time.
"I ultimately had no idea [I was pregnant], which in hindsight was better for my recovery because I didn't have that super joyous moment of, 'I'm pregnant again!'" Peta explained at the time. "I just had the moment of, 'You lost it.'"
"Imagine only shaving one leg," a fan joked of the Alaïa jumpsuit worn by The Kardashians star.
Kendall Jenner is getting mocked for rocking a unique look.
The model took to Instagram on Monday to share a post featuring footage of herself having some fun as she modeled a black, one-legged jumpsuit. Kendall's post included a video of herself jumping on a bed while holding a glass of wine, and a boomerang of herself kicking her left leg in the air as she posed for the camera.
The black jumpsuit -- designed by Parisian brand Alaïa -- was one-shouldered and single-legged. It featured a single full-length pant leg on the left side, with layers of ruffles added to the flared hem. And according to online luxury retailer, Mytheresa, the asymmetrical jumpsuit includes quite the price tag. The item costs a whopping $5,760.
Despite Kendall's attempts to make the rather bizarre-looking jumpsuit look fun and chic, fans seemingly weren't able to get over the unique design of the ensemble. Many users trolled Kendall in the comments section, with some even referring to the jumpsuit as "ridiculous."
"That fit isn't it," a person wrote, while another asked, "what r u wearing."
"Prolly the most ridiculous dress I have seen in a while," a commenter said, with another user sharing a similar sentiment, writing, "girl bye that fit looks soo ridiculous on you 🤣."
Other followers got creative and cracked jokes. "Imagine only shaving one leg," a fan wrote, while another commented, "This is the dress for those who like to sleep with one leg outside the doona."
Meanwhile, another user poked fun at the now-viral photoshop drama involving one of Kendall's recent Instagram posts, in which fans accused her of editing a bikini photo that showed her apparently "long" fingers. "Now they'll say that leg too long," the fan commented on Kendall's video on Monday.
The photo of her hand was featured in a series of pics she shared on Instagram earlier this month. In the shot, Kendall can be seen crouching in a skimpy string bikini with a stunning vista behind her, with "The Kardashians" star putting a hand on the ground to maintain her balance. However, the way her hand appeared had fans convinced she had Photoshopped the image.
With the help of her pal Hailey Bieber, Kendall later set the record straight. Hailey jumped on her Instagram Stories alongside Kendall to clear the air by featuring "live footage of the hand."
In the video, the 26-year-old model said, "While you're sitting her analyzing, look how bizarre her hand looks normally," while showing Kendall's slim and decidedly long hands. "Been had long ass hands x fingers," the video was captioned, adding alien and spaceship emojis as a joke.
News of the separation comes shortly after Ryan was arrested for allegedly breaking an Order of Protection.
"Teen Mom" star Ryan Edwards' wife Mackenzie is pulling the plug on their marriage.
According to Us Weekly, Mackenzie filed for divorce on Monday, February 27, after six years of marriage. She was also granted a restraining order in addition to temporary custody of their two kids.
Earlier this month, the 35-year-old father was arrested after allegedly breaking an Order of Protection that was granted to Mackenzie, after he is said to have shared revealing pictures of her on the internet and accused her of infidelity.
According to a press release shared by the Hamilton County Sheriff's office, the reality star violated the order by speaking with her father after it was issued. The Sheriff's office also found he had an active warrant for harassment -- with Mackenzie listed as the victim -- before they arrested him at his place of employment.
He was found "to be in possession of drug paraphernalia and two bags of suspected narcotics" when he was arrested.
In total, he was booked on harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and the order of protection violation.
The duo first met at a gym in Chattanooga, Tennessee and memorialized their relationship on the "Teen Mom" series from 2009 to 2021. In 2016, they got engaged and tied the knot five months later in 2017. The former couple welcomed their son Jagger in 2018 and their daughter Stella in 2020.
Ryan also shares a son, Bentley, with Maci Bookout.
In a cryptic post to Instagram back in January, Ryan hinted that their separation may be imminent. At the time, he shared a photo of a quote that read, "I trusted you but now your words mean nothing to me, because your actions spoke the truth."
"Your regret is coming … good lord showed me what I need but not what I wanted," Ryan wrote in the caption.
Shortly after his post, the television personality commented under an old picture Mackenzie posted of them back in July 2022.
"Take wife down off this," he wrote in reference to her caption. "I'm not proud of being married to someone that stays out in bars and goes home with others guys."
He continued, "Tomorrow can't get here fast enough! Don you know what happens when u lay with dogs? … wait look who I'm talking to. And then blaming it on my addiction yea divorce is the right thing."
