    Megyn Kelly believes President Donald Trump has no place to comment on other people’s marriages. “Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had,” Kelly, 55, claimed on the Friday, May 22, episode of the “Hodgetwins” podcast. “He met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers.

Megyn Kelly Claims President Donald Trump Has Cheated ‘On Every Wife’

Megyn Kelly believes President Donald Trump has no place to comment on other people’s marriages.

“Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had,” Kelly, 55, claimed on the Friday, May 22, episode of the “Hodgetwins” podcast. “He met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers. I’m from New York.”

During her conversation with cohosts and conservative commentators Keith Hodge and Kevin Hodge, Kelly insinuated that Trump, 79, was “proud of the affair” for a moment after it was “all over the papers.”

As for Donald’s current relationship with his wife, Melania Trump, Kelly isn’t sure how strong the marriage truly is.

“If you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, that’s great. You’ve got bigger issues than I can solve here,” she claimed. “The nerve for him to be judging someone else’s relationship. …. It just shows you he’s got chutzpah.”

Us Weekly has reached out to the White House for comment.

Kelly’s accusations came when she was having a broader conversation about Donald’s reaction to former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent’s resignation from the administration over the Iran war.

“Kent, horribly, lost his wife,” Donald wrote via Truth Social on April 16. “Her casket was being brought to Dover, along with the rest, although he married again, quite quickly, in my opinion.”

Megyn Kelly Says She’s ‘Sick’ of President Trump’s ‘S***’ After Iran Remarks

Joe’s first wife, Shannon Kent — who was a technician for the United States Navy — was killed in a suicide bombing in 2019. Joe met artist Heather Kaiser a year later, and the two married in 2023.

In her latest podcast appearance, Kelly also reminded listeners of the allegations that Donald may have raped his first wife, Ivana Trump, who died in 2022.

In the 1993 biography Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, reporter Harry Hurt III alleged that Ivana told some of her closest confidantes that, “He raped me.”

Donald has strongly denied the allegations, calling them “obviously false” and “incorrect.”

Ivana herself retracted some of the language around the incident, saying she felt “violated” at the time, but she did not mean rape “in a literal or criminal sense.” During her ex’s 2015 presidential campaign, Ivana said the story was “totally without merit,” according to the Daily Beast. (The publisher has since deemed the book too “dangerous” to reprint.)

“I don’t know whether that’s true or not,” Kelly said in regards to Ivana’s initial allegations. “I’m just saying, clearly not a great relationship there.”

Inside Ariana Grande's Split From Ethan Slater: What Went Wrong

9 June 2026 at 20:50

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s private split was far from dramatic.

“After their press tour [for Wicked: For Good] died down, they had been spending more time apart than usual,” a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly of what led to the demise of the pair’s relationship. “They both agreed they wanted different things and had been working through what the future holds together.”

Although the couple’s romance has dwindled since the November 2025 release of their hit film, the insider explained that there is still affection between Grande, 32, and Slater, 34.

“They both care about each other,” the source shared, “and hoped things would work out.” (Us Weekly has reached out to both parties for comment.)

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's Relationship Timeline

Slater’s continued respect for Grande was certainly undeniable on Monday, June 8, after Us confirmed the duo had split after nearly three years of dating.

According to social media users, Slater liked the Grammy winner’s recent Instagram post, in which she celebrated a recent performance of The Eternal Sunshine Tour.

“Oakland, night one … ♡ it feels impossible to find the words at this time … so for now, just thank you,” Grande wrote via Instagram. “From the bottom of my heart. I love you all more than words can ever possibly say. And I missed you. Thank you.”

As Grande enters a new chapter of her life, the “Thank U, Next” singer remains focused on putting on the best performances for her fans.

After news broke of her split from Slater, Grande posted photos of some of her tour looks styled by Law Roach.

“It’s amicable. They gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,” a source previously told Us about the split. “They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.”

The insider added that Grande “is doing great” and has been “focused” on her tour and upcoming new album, Petal.

News broke in July 2023 that Slater and Grande sparked a real-life romance following their respective splits from Lilly Jay and Dalton Gomez.

The two actors, who portray Boq and Galinda/Glinda in the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit Wicked, tried to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

Slater, however, couldn’t help but gush about how proud he was of Grande on multiple occasions.

“She’s poured herself into it,” he told GQ in October 2024 when praising his then-girlfriend’s Wicked performance. “I’m really proud that I got to be there for that part of it, and I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”

Tyler Baltierra Questions Fans’ Sympathy for Amanda Conner Over Wife Catelynn

3 June 2026 at 19:42

Teen Mom’s Tyler Baltierra is openly wondering why fans seem to be sympathizing with Amanda Conner following her arrest for an alleged DUI, but not with his wife, Catelynn Lowell, amid the challenges of adoption.

“One thing that always shocks me though is that the comments are, ‘She’s struggling and this is part of addiction and relapse is part of recovery and she’s going through a hard time right now. Please get better,’” Baltierra, 34, shared on the May 27 episode of the “Cate & Ty Break It Down” podcast. “All of this sentimental, empathetic, sympathizing, which is great. I think we as a society have learned more about what that looks like and how it affects people. I’m glad that society is more sympathetic.”

News broke on May 24 that Conner was arrested and charged with child abuse/neglect for allegedly driving under the influence with a baby in the car. She also was charged for allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road.

Days later, Conner broke her silence on the arrest, confirming that she relapsed after three years of sobriety.

Teen Mom's Tyler Won't Talk About Daughter Carly Despite Hearing 'Lies'

“I have let you all down and I’ve let my family down,” she said via TikTok on May 27. “Just saying that out loud, just letting it be known, it’s just so uncomfortable, it’s shameful, I’m disappointed, I feel guilty, scared. I’m not perfect.”

Conner’s bond was set for $16,000. Following her release, she was ordered not to contact the alleged child victim.

In his latest podcast episode with Lowell, 34, Baltierra couldn’t help but point out the different comments Conner received compared to the times his wife has opened up about her journey with adoption. (Baltierra and Lowell placed their daughter Carly for adoption when they were both 16. Carly is now 17 years old and has no contact with her birth parents, per Baltierra and Lowell.)

“It’s interesting that we’re talking about a woman in recovery who relapsed and during that relapse, put her child in danger and herself in danger,” Baltierra claimed. “She gets this amount of empathy and sympathy because she is struggling with this addiction problem. At the same time, my wife will make a post — who is sober, a great mom — about how hard it is that she can’t see the baby she relinquished out of desperation for her birthday. The comments of that vs. this always blows my mind.”

He continued, “It’s just a representation of how adoption is still in the shadows and mental health in general of adoption. How is it possible that a woman who endangered her children because she’s a drug addict gets more sympathy and empathy over a birth mother who relinquished out of desperation, talking about missing her on her birthday?”

Although Conner has not publicly commented on her arrest, she admitted in a TikTok video that she is currently dealing with the “consequences’ of her actions.

“It’s not going to be polished, it’s going to be authentic, real and what happens in my life when you relapse and do stupid s***, there’s consequence,” she said. “We’re not going to give up, we’re going to fight and we’re going to get back on track. So with that said, we’re going to get ready to go meet the lawyer, so stay tuned.”

‘Survivor’ All-Stars Share Their Advice for Contestants in the ‘Open Era’

9 June 2026 at 22:32

When it comes to the future of Survivor, even the best players to ever play the game have no idea what to expect.

“Not to steal Big Brother‘s lingo here,  but expect the unexpected,” Survivor 50 player Rizo Velovic exclusively told Us Weekly at the Newport Beach TV Festival sponsored by Visit Newport Beach on Saturday, June 6. “Anything is up for grabs.”

Last month, host Jeff Probst revealed Aubry Bracco was the winner of season 50. Soon after, he teased season 51 would usher in the “open era” of CBS’ long-running competition show.

“Anything that has ever happened at any time on the show can happen in any season at any time in any order without any warning,” he teased.

‘Survivor’ Winners Through the Years: Where Are They Now?

While a sneak peek provided a few clues for viewers about what’s coming, Us wanted to ask some of the best players in Survivor history to share their advice for future contestants headed to Fiji about how they would navigate the “open era.”

Keep reading to see what the all stars had to share and catch up on Survivor by streaming past seasons now on Paramount+.

“My piece of advice is do some Deven’s things,” Rick joked to Us. “It’s the open era. No one knows what’s going on. Use that to your advantage. Come in and do something that’s not been done in 50 seasons of Survivor. Have fun with it.”

Ozzy Lusth

“I think when you go out to play Survivor, you really got to figure out what it is about yourself that is special,” Ozzy shared with Us. “That’s one of the gifts about playing the show. It’s that you get to discover things about yourself that you maybe didn’t know. Let yourself go on that journey, and play your ass off. Really leave it all out there. Be vulnerable, be honest and kick some ass.”

“I wish I could give some real advice, but because we literally don’t know what to expect, the only thing I can advise these people is to just live for the day that you’re in,” Tiffany explained to Us. “Don’t think about tomorrow because baby, we don’t know what tomorrow holds. Just make it to the next day. You can’t even think about tomorrow if you get voted out today.”

 Aubry Bracco

 Don’t go in with the predetermined plan, and don’t be afraid to swing to the fences,” the winner of Survivor 50 told Us after winning the $2 million prize.

And for those wondering how Aubrey has spent her winnings, the champion said she is being careful.

“I haven’t splurged on anything,” she admitted. “I put it away for my son, and I should take Rick Devens for a nice dinner. I still need to give a little tip.”

Rizo Velovic

“Anything is up for grabs — whether it’s a fake merge, the medallion of power from Nicaragua, or heroes versus villains, or blood versus water or fire tokens. You name it, it can be up for grabs,” Rizo explained from The Lido Theater in Newport Beach, California. “I think that’s great for Survivor. Honestly, I think it’s just a name given to just do whatever Survivor wants, and I think that’s great for the show.”

Dee Valladares

“I wish I knew what open era meant. I can’t get inside Jeff’s brain, but knowing him for a little bit, I would say it’s going to be a mix of all of the 50 seasons Survivor has already provided, so maybe one season will be themed, maybe another season will not be filmed in Fiji,” Dee speculated. “It would just be a cumulative of all of the seasons we’ve already seen. Hopefully that’s it because if you can just do every season [a little] differently, it won’t be as hard as if you just leave Fiji forever. … I do know it’s going to be very unexpected.”

Breaking Down Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen’s Complicated Relationship

2 June 2026 at 18:30

When it comes to Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen’s relationship, the best way to describe it is complicated.

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ daughters have grown up in the spotlight as their parents made headlines for their personal and professional lives.

In March 2025, however, fans were able to see a different side of Sami and Lola when they starred in Denise Richards and Her Wild Things.

“I wanted the girls to really want to do it, and I think it’s also a great time for them,” Richards explained to Us before the premiere. “They’ve always lived basically in the shadows of their parents where they’re ‘the daughters of,’ and it’s a nice time for them to be able to be themselves and shine and be Sami and Lola.”

Inside Denise Richards’ Ups and Downs With Daughter Sami Sheen

Viewers quickly realized that Sami and Lola have totally different interests and personalities. As a result, they don’t exactly see eye to eye or get along all the time.

Keep reading to learn more about the pair’s complicated bond, which makes more than just a juicy story line on reality TV:

While Lola acknowledged she goes through ups and downs with Charlie, she believes life is better when things are good with her dad.

“My life is way more enjoyable when we have a relationship because if not, it’s like, I hate having that feeling of not talking,” Lola told Us in March 2025. “When I really started to struggle with my mental health, he really helped me because he’s not very emotional so he kind of gets straight to the point, and I think that’s what helped me in moments of anxiety.”

In the same interview, Sami played coy about her status with Charlie, describing it as “complicated.”

“It’s been [complicated] from day one and both girls are finding their path in the relationship and that’s OK,” Richards added. “Things can be up and down, but you can always get through it.”

Sami and Lola’s Social Media Battles

For nearly a year, Sami and Lola had blocked each other on Instagram and other social media platforms. Filming Denise Richards and Her Wild Things allowed the pair to spend more time together and heal their relationship. (On the show, Sami claimed the block was because Lola was still friendly with one of her exes.)

“It was terrible,” Lola told Us about the tense relationship with her sister. “It forced us to obviously be around each other and then just the interviews and stuff. I can breathe again now that we’re talking.”

Things became complicated, however, in June 2025, when Sami accused her younger sister of being “homophobic and transphobic” in a TikTok video. Sami said she tried to address her concerns with Lola privately but claimed that her younger sister had blocked her number.

Lola had yet to publicly respond to her sister’s video at the time of publication. Us Weekly reached out to her for comment.

Sami and Lola’s Different Versions of Fun

During season 1 of Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, cameras caught Sami and Lola’s different interests and passions.

While Sami enjoyed going to raves and modeling, Lola loved taco Tuesdays and Bible study with her closest friends.

“Jesus rescued me and he completely rewired my mind,” she told People in February 2024. “He became my savior, but also my best friend.”

Sami and Lola Get Real About Plastic Surgery 

Sami has been open about her cosmetic work, including a breast augmentation and nose job.

“I started with lip filler when I was 18. Obviously, [I] went to the wrong person, had to get it dissolved, start over,” Sami explained on an April 2025 appearance iHeartRadio’s “Casual Chaos” podcast. “Before I got my nose done, I discovered nose filler. They would fill the tip and try and make it look cuter.”

When asked what she thinks about plastic surgery, Lola said she doesn’t care what people do with their body.

“I think whatever makes people happy,” she told the Daily Mail in March 2025. “For now, I wouldn’t do plastic surgery. I got a little lip filler but I hated it. [But] I would never judge anyone for doing it.”

Lola Sheen Slams Claim She’s Dating Sister Sami Sheen's Ex-Boyfriend

Sami Accuses Lola of Dating Her Ex-Boyfriend

In a January 2026 TikTok video, Sami accused her younger sister of dating one of her ex-boyfriends. 

Lola, however, quickly shared her own social media post denying the allegation.

“I am never one to defend myself against my sister anymore because I genuinely don’t care. But I couldn’t let this one slide,” Lola wrote via TikTok on January 14, 2026. “I am single, I am not talking to anyone, and I’m definitely not dating her ex-boyfriend. That is absolutely the one thing I will share my side for because this is unbelievable.”

She added, “I would absolutely NEVER do anything with my sister’s ex-boyfriend. And we have completely different types in men.”

A Sweet Birthday Post

The sisters appeared to bury the hatchet in June 2026, when Sami posted a series of sweet photos in honor of Lola’s milestone 21st birthday.

“Guess who’s [sic] bday it is today,” Sami wrote, tagging her sister. “CHEERS TO 21 !!!!! love u.”

Lola shared the posts via her own social media accounts.

Amanda Kloots’ unbreakable bond with her 6-year-old son, Elvis, isn’t complete without a little bit of faith.

“We just started reading a little children’s Bible every night,” Kloots, 44, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while celebrating the grand opening of Treasure Beach Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos on May 16. “We get into bed, and we read a chapter of his Bible together.”

Before a new week begins, the former cohost of The Talk also celebrates “family day” each and every Sunday.

“It always has been since he was a baby and didn’t know what family day was, but we finally found a church in L.A. that I love,” Kloots shared. “We go to church every Sunday, and then go out to the beach, and we always say our prayers.”

Perhaps the greatest habit Kloots hopes to pass on to her son is the importance of gratitude.

While the best-selling author continues to navigate life after the death of her husband, Nick Cordero, in July 2020 following a lengthy battle with COVID-19, Kloots tries her best to look on the bright side of things.

“I just try to encourage [my son to] always count his blessings, because we’re so grateful,” she shared. “I mean, we’re living such a beautiful life, and we have to appreciate that.”

Back in February 2022, Kloots revealed she went to church for the first time in two years. After listening to Churchome Pastor Judah Smith speak live, the TV host was reminded of her faith.

“I didn’t know how much I missed and needed it,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “Tonight was so beautiful, so inspiring and life thrilling for me. … All I can say is that tonight filled my heart and soul with so much happiness that I was pretending not to need.”

Kloots experienced new joyful memories when she traveled to Turks & Caicos for a special mother-son trip this month.

While experiencing the grand opening of Treasure Beach Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos, the duo enjoyed everything from snorkeling and swimming to dance parties and game nights.

“Elvis snorkeled for the first time, and he kept giving me hugs. He was like, ‘Mom, I did it! I snorkeled! I went into the ocean!’ Kloots recalled to Us. “I mean, the ocean in L.A. is not like this, so he was so proud of himself. It was a core memory being made, and it was so special.”

When Adrienne Bailon reflects on her love story with husband Israel Houghton, faith is at the foundation of their relationship.

“I love that saying, ‘A couple that prays together, stays together,’ but bigger than that, I think it’s holding ourselves accountable to someone bigger than each other,” Bailon, 42, exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “I’m not just kind to my husband because he’s a nice guy. No, I give him grace. I try to give him the grace that God gives me. I think that believing in something great or bigger than us has really helped us.”

Bailon and Houghton, 55, were close pals before they turned their friendship into something more.

When asked if faith was always an important trait in a potential partner, Bailon said that it “definitely was a priority that I did not keep a priority.”

“Although I always wanted that. I don’t think I ever had that until my husband,” she shared. “To have that, I think, just made the world of a difference. I think that there’s something really beautiful about being able to find hope together, especially in all the things that we’ve been through, including infertility and having someone who just constantly was there. Lifting me up in that way really meant so much to me.”

Married since November 2016, Bailon and Houghton are raising their son, Ever James, whom they welcomed via surrogate in August 2022. Although their only child is 3 years old, both mom and dad are trying to share thoughtful glimpses of their faith with their growing boy.

“I think our biggest thing was teaching him faith vs. fear, having someone that believed in God on a faith-based, not a fear-based situation where it’s like, ‘Well, God is going to punish you if you don’t do this. God doesn’t like it when you do that,’ Bailon explained. “Instead, we’re teaching him that he has the greatest champion in heaven who’s cheering him on, who wants great things for him.”

She continued, “He’s madly in love with us, and He loves us, and He’s rooting for us, and that we pray to Him. Even just as a young kid, he tells me about all the great superheroes that he loves. And I’m like, ‘But you know the greatest superhero? Jesus.’”

Amanda Kloots Reveals How She’s Incorporating Faith Into Her Son’s Life

Each and every morning, Bailon and Houghton — who is a gospel singer —  start the day counting their blessings with their son.

Although they don’t know what the future holds, both parents hope their child develops his own special relationship with God.

“I think the greatest thing you can do is to show them to lead by example,” Bailon explained. “I think the greatest way that my son has learned, even at his little age of three, about who God is, is watching how we worship, watching how we wake up in the morning and we pray. … We start our mornings with gratitude. I think it’s small things like that, just leading by example. I think it’s the greatest gift you can give your kids.”

UPDATE: 5/21/26 at 10:28 a.m. — Sam Houston State University football player William Davis died from gunshot wounds to the chest, TMZ reported on Wednesday, May 20.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Virginia, where Davis died, told the outlet it is still determining his manner of death, which has not yet been ruled a homicide.

Original story below:

The college football community is in mourning after the sudden death of Sam Houston defensive back William Davis at the age of 22.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of William Davis,” Sam Houston Football shared via Instagram on Monday, May 18. “All of our thoughts and prayers are with the Davis family today.”

Head coach Phil Longo also confirmed Davis’ death in a statement posted online.

“It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Will Davis,” Longo shared via X on Sunday, May 17. “Will was a beloved member of our FB family who touched the lives of everyone he knew. He was a super passionate young man who will be sincerely missed. Tanya & I are praying for Will’s family during this difficult time.”

Davis’ cause of death and other details surrounding his death have yet to be revealed.

The athlete started his collegiate career at Virginia Union. He played 19 games with the school before transferring to West Virginia after the 2024 season.

In January, he transferred to Sam Houston, where he was set to compete for a roster spot.

“Sam Houston felt like home from the moment I first set foot on campus,” Davis previously shared, via Nilson Sports. “As a Virginia kid that had played every snap of football in my life within driving distance of home, it was important to me that I’d play somewhere where I fit seamlessly into the culture if I was going to be so distant geographically.”

In one of his final social media posts before his death, Davis shared a glimpse into his mindset as he prepared for another season of football.

Spencer Pratt is saying goodbye to reality TV and hello to politics.

Exactly one year after a wildfire burned down his family’s home in Pacific Palisades, California, Pratt announced that he was running for mayor of Los Angeles.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration on January 7, 2026. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with, while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”

He continued, “This just isn’t a campaign; this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system.”

Which 'The Hills' Stars Reacted to Spencer Pratt's Mayoral Bid in L.A.

In April 2026, a UCLA Luskin poll showed current Mayor Karen Bass was leading the race at 25 percent, followed by Pratt at 11 percent. At the same time, the poll stated 40 percent of voters remained undecided ahead of the June 2, 2026, primary.

As the race continues, Us Weekly is breaking down what celebrities are saying about Pratt’s run for political office. See who could vote for the Hills alum and who publicly opposes his latest career ambitions.

Meghan McCain

The former View panelist shared her prediction for Pratt’s candidacy on social media without revealing who she would hypothetically vote for.

“I’m telling you this guy is going to win,” McCain, who lives outside California, wrote via X on April 29, 2026, when showcasing one of Pratt’s campaign ads against Bass.

Following a mayoral debate on May 6, 2026, McCain suggested that Pratt was the “blueprint” for all politicians of her age group.

“This is not hyperbole – @spencerpratt is the blueprint for how my generation of older millennials needs to communicate and present their ideas and campaign messaging when running for office,” she tweeted. “He is 10/10 no notes. Absolute raw talent. Killed the debate.”

James Woods

The Casino star had compliments for Pratt following a mayoral debate on May 6, 2026.

“Spencer Pratt is surprisingly effective, direct, polite, and prepared in tonight’s debate,” Woods tweeted. “The other two have history as their enemy because everything they’ve done has been a catastrophe. He can absolutely win this thing.”

Yvette Nicole Brown

The Community actress expressed concerns that Pratt could pull ahead in the Los Angeles race for mayor.

“This nation is unserious and has learned nothing. 💔,” Brown wrote via Threads on April 24, 2026, seemingly referring to President Donald Trump, a former reality TV star-turned-politician.

Stephanie Pratt

Spencer’s sister said she will not be endorsing her family member for mayor of Los Angeles.

“Spencer has done great work for the Palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie wrote via X on February 14, 2026. “A vote for him is a vote for stupidity. He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don’t be fooled. In an ideal world, the Palisades would have their own mayor and police department. I would love [for] him to be mayor of [the] Palisades but not LA with 4 million people. I’d be impressed if a republican could turn LA democrats thb.”

Joe Rogan

Spencer Pratt Runs for Los Angeles Mayor Stars Reveal If Theyd Vote for the Reality Star

“Listen, man, I’m voting for you,” Rogan told Pratt during the April 15, 2026, episode of his “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.

While the podcast host later clarified that he lives in Texas, Rogan added, “I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you.”

Kristin Cavallari

Although she currently lives in Tennessee, Cavallari couldn’t help but express her support for Pratt’s political ambitions.

“This is more The Hills, but coming off of Laguna [Beach], I had a lot of people say, ‘Talk about Spencer running for mayor.’ So you know what? Let’s talk about it,” Cavallari said during the April 21, 2026, episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “I think Spencer running for mayor is f***ing genius. Because I think everyone in politics — I don’t care what side you’re on — everyone is corrupt.”

She continued, “To get to that level, you have to play their game. It’s all an agenda, and I think their goal is to keep all of us divided. They want us fighting, and that’s why I don’t buy into any of it.”

Meghan Markle and More Stars Voting on Election Day Through the Years

Patti Stanger

The Millionaire Matchmaker star has expressed her support for Pratt on social media.

“Here we go CA,” she wrote via X on April 24, 2026, when sharing an article that revealed Pratt has raised more money than Bass in the race for mayor. “It’s time to go red with @spencerpratt @SteveHiltonx ca is done with this crooked woke s***!”

She threw her support behind Pratt again in a May 4, 2026, X post. “I know @spencerpratt personally and he’s not only a great guy but a smart one! Only once [sic] choice la or we are donned [sic]! Spencer will lead us out of this s*** hole!” she wrote.

Johnny Bananas 

The Challenge veteran threw his support behind Pratt with a short social media post.

“That’s my mayor  🤘,” he wrote via X on April 30, 2026, while sharing a link to one of Pratt’s political ads.

Audrina Patridge

Pratt’s former Hills costar said she is rooting for the Los Angeles resident as he runs for mayor.

“He’s very smart. He knew how to work reality TV. I know politics is very different — but I mean, he seems very intelligent and is well educated on what he needs to do,” she exclusively told Us Weekly on May 1, 2026. “I’m actually excited. He impressed me.”

While Patridge lives in Orange County, California, and can’t vote in the L.A. mayoral election,, she proudly threw her support behind her former costar.

“He impressed me. I listened to some of his interviews, and at first when I heard, I was like, ‘Wait, is he really doing it? Is it a joke? Is it real?’” she shared. “But he is, and he is very intelligent, and I think that he would make a lot of change to L.A. and he would follow through with what he said.”

Jonathan “FoodGod” Cheban

“From what I’m hearing, L.A. is literally getting a little bit of a heartbeat back. There’s only one chance to save L.A. and one person: Spencer Pratt,” FoodGod said via Instagram on May 4, 2026. “Just because he’s a reality star does not mean he can’t be mayor. Reality stars become billionaires. Reality stars become doctors. They’re very smart.”

The Kardashians star continued, “If you want to save L.A., you got to vote for Spencer Pratt ASAP.”

Jax Taylor

“This race has nothing to do with politics for me,” the Valley alum wrote via X on May 6, 2026. “It has to do with cleaning up this absolute s*** hole of a city I live [in] and making it safe again for our children and our community because right now its [sic] a very scary unsafe for people to live. @spencerpratt.”

Josh Altman 

The Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star made it clear that he’s voting for Pratt in the upcoming mayoral election.

“Let me tell you something. He’s got my vote. I like villains on reality TV. I happened to be one for 15 years,” Altman shared on Fox News’ Varney & Company in May 2026. “You know what you get when you’re a villain? You get tough skin, and you’re able to deal with people like this. I love it.”

Altman even admitted he’d be open to taking an unofficial position within Pratt’s cabinet should the former reality TV star be elected. .

“If he needs a Secretary of Real Estate, he’s got my phone number,” the real estate agent explained. “L.A. needs a change.”

Joanna Krupa

The former Real Housewives of Miami star applauded Pratt for his advocacy work with mistreated animals in Los Angeles.

“It’s time to stop giving career politicians the opportunity to waste or mismanage billions of taxpayer dollars while our streets fall apart, our communities suffer and innocent animals are left with no protection,” Krupa wrote via Instagram on April 30, 2026. “People are tired of watching those in power live comfortably while everyday families, the homeless and defenseless animals are paying the price.

The former Bravo star continued, “Los Angeles deserves leaders who will fight for the people, fight for the animals and bring real accountability, not more empty promises. And for me, Spencer Pratt is the first person I’ve seen in a long time willing to speak up for those who truly have no voice.”

David Foster and Katharine McPhee

One America News Network anchor Alicia Summers shared video and photos from a fundraiser thrown at Foster and McPhee’s Brentwood Park home on May 11, 2026. Hollywood mega-producer Brian Grazier was reportedly in attendance.

In one clip, Foster played the keyboards as his wife serenaded Pratt with new lyrics to Tina Turner’s hit “The Best.” McPhee boasted that the candidate is “better than Karen Bass and Nithya Raman,” two of Pratt’s rivals.

When McPhee mixed up Raman’s first name — accidentally calling her “Cynthia” instead of Nithya— Pratt shrugged as if he wasn’t sure of his rival’s name either.

Us has reached out to McPhee, Foster and Grazer’s reps for comment.

Terry and Heather Dubrow

The Real Housewives of Orange County stars said they would be open to voting for Pratt as he runs for L.A. mayor. (It’s unclear where the couple is registered to vote as they own properties in both Los Angeles and Orange County.)

“I would [vote for him]. I think he has something to say, and I think this is true from things I hear about him and from him is that he’s smart enough to know what he doesn’t know and will surround himself with those people that are smart enough to actually know those things,” Heather said on the May 13, 2026, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Between Us” podcast. “But maybe the guy leading the charge, who’s so passionate, is the best idea.”

Terry praised Spencer’s AI campaign videos before describing his career path as “amazing.”

Erika Kirk

The Turning Point USA CEO announced via X on May 21, 2026, that she supported Pratt’s campaign pledge to rebuild Los Angeles after the 2025 Palisades Fire.

“Regardless of the outcome of Spencer Pratt’s race, what he’s doing is authentically American,” Erika Kirk wrote. “See a problem, become a part of the solution. His campaign ads are unconventional, but that’s the point; it’s refreshing. Instead of speaking like a career politician, he’s speaking as an American who sees and deeply understands how fragile the simple things in life are when leadership fails.”

The conservative activist insisted that Pratt’s personal stake in the Los Angeles mayoral race is “what this country is all about.” (Pratt has threatened to move his family out of L.A. if he does not become mayor.)

“Citizens willing to step into the political arena, unafraid, and challenge a failing system, much like the one that has destroyed Los Angeles,” Kirk added. “I hope moments like this inspire more Americans to throw their names into the mix, run for office, get involved and stand up for what makes this country exceptional.”

Drew Carey

“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass,” Carey shared via Threads on May 22, 2026. “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.”

He concluded, “F*** this guy already.”

Lisa Rinna

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna shared her thoughts on who should become L.A.’s next mayor in a May 2026 interview with Variety.

“Not a reality star. I love [Pratt], but we’ve already done that. We’re not going to do that again,” she said, seemingly referring to President Donald Trump, who once hosted The Apprentice.

Rinna added, “I’m a reality person. You wouldn’t want me as mayor.”

Candace Cameron Bure

Full House actress Candace Cameron Bure revealed her support for Pratt in a comment on Us Weekly’s cover story featuring the mayoral candidate.

“Voted for you today!!” she wrote via Instagram.

Ashley Iaconetti Teases ‘Tension’ 1st ‘RHORI’ Reunion: ‘Crazy’

For Ashley Iaconetti, dramatic rose ceremonies are nothing compared to The Real Housewives of Rhode Island’s reunion taping.

“It’s great TV, I’ll just tell you that. It’s gonna be great TV,” Ashley, 38, exclusively teased to Us Weekly on Friday, June 5. “There was some really crazy things exchanged.”

Before Andy Cohen reunited the cast, which also includes Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi, Ashley said the majority of the ladies were anxious to experience their very first reunion.

“The days leading up and the day of it was, like, I hadn’t been that nervous in a very long time,” Ashley said. “I could just feel my throat was so tight. My mouth was so dry, just this tension in the air, but almost like we were united in nerves. We’re all just so nervous.”

RHORI’s Rulla ‘Certainly Did Not’ Expect Marriage to Become a Story Line

Once cameras started rolling, though, the charismatic group of women tackled the biggest story lines of the season with ease.

“I mean, once we got warmed up, it was a different story,” Ashley teased. “I was way more comfortable once we started rolling with it.”

While The Real Housewives of Rhode Island’s first season isn’t done airing just yet, some viewers may not be surprised to hear which cast members found themselves squabbling during the reunion taping.

“The hottest it got, I want to say, is between Jo-Ellen and Rulla,” Ashley teased. “There’s another pairing that is definitely in contention, but I’ll just leave it at that.”

Earlier this season, Jo-Ellen, 38, received evidence alleging that Rulla’s husband, Brian Pontarelli, was being unfaithful.

During the April 26 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Brian said he hated seeing the “past come back” because “that was a while ago.”

“I was a different person then,” he explained. “I realized what an amazing woman my wife is and the only thing that matters to me now is my wife and children.”

While viewers will have to watch what happens to see what unfolds within the cast, Ashley fears a few relationships in the bunch have “irreconcilable differences.”

The Bachelor's Ashley Iaconetti Felt Like a 'Tiny Fish' as an 'RHORI' Newbie

If anyone can help the situation, Ashley said, it may be the reunion host.

“Andy was the best. I loved having a mediated moment,” she explained. “That was nice to have somebody in the center saying, ‘You would like to talk to them? Would you like to?’ Like, it was just very nice. I like the formality of it, and he handled it so well.”

The Real Housewives of Rhode Island airs on Bravo Sundays at 9 p.m. Stream new episodes the next day on Peacock.

Levi Wright’s mom, Kallie Wright, is continuing to honor her son two years after he died from a toy tractor accident.

“3 years ago I got my last dandelion bouquet, 2 years ago I was in the hospital trying to make the hardest decision of my life and the best one for him,” Kallie wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 31. “It’s hard to live ‘a normal life’ each year when these 2 weeks roll around.”

In her latest social media post, Kallie shared a video of her son gifting his mom a flower as he explored farmland.

“Those moments consume me,” she added to her caption. “We love you sweet boy.”

Kallie Wright Shares Emotional Obituary for Late 3-Year-Old Son Levi

In May 2024, the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding a child – later identified as Levi — who had driven their toy tractor into a river. After the reporting party lost visual contact with the minor, first responders were able to quickly locate Levi and airlift him to a nearby children’s hospital.

One month later, Levi was removed from life support and died after suffering a severe brain injury.

“After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world’s best neurologists & millions of prayers, we are here in the face of our biggest fear. Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this,” Kallie wrote via Facebook on June 2, 2024. “We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go. I told you my baby was thoughtful & considerate, I truly believe he did that for us.”

Levi Wright’s Mom Shares Emotional Video Tribute to Her Late Son

In the months following her son’s death, Kallie has chronicled her grieving process on social media.

In February, Kallie and her husband, Spencer Wright, welcomed a son named Kreed Levi Wright. At the time, she said her baby was “sent down with an ‘angel kiss’ on his forehead” from Levi.

“This wasn’t the family photo I imagined 5 years ago, it’s bittersweet to say the least!” Kallie wrote via Instagram on April 1. “I believe most things happen for a reason. I believe we were only meant to have our Levi for a short period. Coming to terms with his loss doesn’t mean I don’t experience confusion & pain! I just have to believe I’ll get to see him again and raise him in the afterlife!”

Karamo Brown’s 'Flirty' Relationship With 'Queer Eye' Star Led to Complaint

2 June 2026 at 17:25

Karamo Brown is ready to open up about his experience filming Queer Eye with his Fab Five costars.

In a new interview, Brown, 45, described a work environment filled with alleged bullying and poor behavior.

“Everyone would just say, ‘Well, that’s just that person,’ instead of saying, ‘This behavior does not fly in a professional environment,’” Brown claimed to People in an interview published Tuesday, June 2. “It impacted me negatively, consistently.”

Brown alleged that the original cast of the Netflix series, which included Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Antoni Porowski and Bobby Berk, first became divided after a sexual harassment complaint was filed against him in the first few weeks of filming.

How the 'Queer Eye' Cast Went From Fab to Fractured: 'A Lot of Big Egos'

In his latest interview, Brown claimed that he and one of the Fab Five members — whom he declined to name publicly — had a “fun and flirty” relationship during the show’s casting phase.

Brown initially accused his costar of filing the complaint, but he later learned an anonymous third party was responsible. (Brown says he was cleared of any wrongdoing.)

“It broke us,” he shared. “We all knew the divide between us.”

Brown also recalled an unnamed senior leader telling him bluntly, “You are not a star. I will get rid of you tomorrow.”

“I was depressed,” Brown — who was described as the show’s “culture and lifestyle expert” — shared. “It felt shameful because I was teaching people that they could be better, but in my own life, I was trapped.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Netflix for comment.

In a statement to People, Queer Eye’s production company ITV America and Scout Productions said, “We strongly disagree with any characterization that concerns raised during the production of Queer Eye were ignored, dismissed or allowed to continue unchecked. Throughout the series’ run, any issues brought to production leadership were taken seriously and addressed appropriately.”

The statement continued, “Production consistently fostered a respectful and professional environment for the cast and crew — which included ongoing training, coaching and other support for the cast — maintaining clear workplace policies and practices throughout filming. We remain incredibly proud of Queer Eye’s lasting impact and the community the series helped build over more than 20 years.”

Brown surprised fans in January when he pulled out of all press appearances for the 10th and final season of the show.

“I hope everyone remembers the main theme I have tried to teach them over the past decade, which is to focus on and to protect their mental health/peace from people or a world who seek to destroy it, which is why I can’t be there today,” Brown said in a statement at the time.

Nearly six months later, Brown is happy to report that he’s in a much better headspace.

“I did a complete 180 in my life,” he told People. “This new chapter feels safe and it feels triumphant because it has been a year-and-a-half of real work on myself.”
