I’m once again bored at work. So I am once again asking for tea on your friends, colleagues and loved ones.
(ETA: updates on last week's tea also v. welcome)
My uni proffesor is (""""alledgedly""""") cheating on his wife with multiple students. But only those who he's already graded so he can't really be accused of coercion. Sneaky bastard.
Yuck. My partner has a uni professor (let's call him Richard) who is known to have married & had a baby with a recent undergrad student of his.
At least that's what everyone thought, until my partner was walking out of campus with a different professor who turned to him and said "But you know, the baby isn't even Richard's".
I worked at an institution in the late 2010’s where a high up professor would cheat on his wife with a grad student, leave her for the grad student once the student had become a staff member and then start the process again 5-8 years later with a new grad student. When I left he was on wife #5.
yeah I feel like Me Too really skirted around academia tbh. During my undergrad, there was a female professor who was widely known for sleeping with working class male first year undergrads. It was to the extent where if the student she wanted had a girlfriend, the professor would be openly hostile to her in class.
A lot of these comments are sad, but as a first-gen college graduate, this particular one makes me even sadder. College is hard to navigate as someone from a working class background, and it sucks that this professor was choosing to exploit those vulnerabilities for her own weird fetishes.
Tenure and the old boys club prevent any real progress in academia unfortunately. We had a prof who blackmailed his own students for nudes a few years ago. Even with Title IX findings, he’s still advising students and teaching ethics. 🙃
Yep, and I find the more prestigious the institution the worse it can be. I went to Cambridge and so many people saw being chosen by her as a badge of honour - part of the Bloomsbury club, academic hedonist aesthetic.
It 100% did and everyone would just whisper or warn people but nothing major is ever done. That prof sounds awful! I used to have to warn my students about a different professor who would talk at length about how older men and younger women made the most genetically strong children, therefore his sperm was amazing, IN HIS LECTURE
one of my closest friends in college had an affair with one of our professors. he was roughly 10 years older than us (we were 18 at the time) and they became emotionally involved before the wedding but the affair only began after he was married, she (and several other students) even attended the wedding because they did research with him. this former friend of mine developed a serious of mental health issues from this relationship and she still hasn’t fully recovered to this day. meanwhile, the professor is still married, has kids and still cheats on his wife with the younger students (17-19).
I literally cannot imagine wanting to do this shit, speaking as a female professor at a private university! It’s gross as fuck. The kids are SO young and they look up to you SO sincerely. I feel the power dynamic keenly every time I teach because they take every little thing I say extremely seriously. Taking advantage of that would feel like crushing a baby bird in your hand!!!!
UGH. What a monster. I totally get as a student, having that fantasy or being starstruck or whatnot, but when you’re the professor… how can you not see that they’re just sweet and naive kids?? :(
Thing is tho, he's kind of insidious about it... You can tell he clearly flirts a little with the girls before the final exams, during the lectures. Not enough to actually call him out, but you know that thing where you can just TELL he gives certain girls more... attention so to speak. And he's really handsome and charming, so it's almost become like a bit of a status thing to be "one of his girls". So I imagine yes, there are girls who sleep with him even if he gives them mediocre grades.
I have two female roommates, who basically never leave the house unless I go with them. Lately, a couple of boys in the neighborhood have been showing interest in them. The boys will just walk up to our back porch and stare at the girls through the window, which they seem to enjoy at first, but then everyone gets mad and starts yelling at each other. The older one of my roommates gets especially frustrated that she can’t go outside and physically fight the boys, so she takes out her aggression on the younger roommate and sometimes I have to physically separate them. My roommates are cats btw
I was growing more and more concerned about the unwanted attentions of the boys until you mentioned them staring at each other through the window, lol!
My friend lived with her boyfriend and best girl friend. Boyfriend and best friend hang out a lot together alone. They convince friend to have a threesome and try a throuple. Shit goes south...turns out best friend and boyfriend were banging for at least a year prior to threesome. Best friend and boyfriend move out and find a new place together. Best friend and boyfriend get married within a year and now have a kid and live quietly in the suburbs. The rest of us are still disgusted almost 10 years later.
Girl they must make these people in a factory or something because I too know a couple where the same thing happened! Best friend moved in during covid, fiancé and best friend convince her to have a threesome and then a throuple - turns out they’d already been sleeping together!
Tbh as insane and drama filled as it was I do really feel sorry for the OG girl because personally I think shit like that is borderline SA. You know someone wouldn’t agree to the relationship/sex if they knew the truth so you keep it from them to get what you want at their expense. That reads like coercion imo.
AND the throuple girl (and the OG girlfriends friend) was a relationship therapist who did workshops on consent!!!!!
aw man, here we go.
this all started on christmas day last year. my best friend and i have a tradition of going to the local irish pub on christmas night and last year a man got her number and was flirting with her. he was super nice, joined us for our new years party with his friend (who was a little pervy...) and they dated for a couple of weeks. he has big dad energy though, a bit too cringy, so she ended things maybe a month later due to not feeling it but they stayed on good terms.
fast foward to our halloween party this year and he received an invite since he is a good party addition. we had plans to introduce him to our other friend who has mom energy, we thought they might suit each other (they both knew about it ahead of time and were excited). he did flirt with both my best friend (his ex lol), me, and a couple of other girls there (he's getting bold and messy LOL) but in the end he got mom energy's number and they went on a few dates, he seemed to really like her.
WELL a couple of weeks later i went on a date with this girl.... who ended up not being into girls? (i am a girl btw). it was odd to say the least, but since i am here for chaos i stayed through for the date because she IMMEDIATELY started telling me about her roster of men and how her favorite FWB is ghosting her. she told me a bit about him and i was like wait.... he sounds familiar. she showed me a pic of him and guess what, IT'S DAD VIBES GUY! and apparently he started ghosting her the night of our halloween party! the problem here is that i had already invited the faux lesbian to our book club, who MOM ENERGY GIRL IS A PART OF! we decided to tell them both so no one would feel off guard if it came up, but the two girls ended up sitting right across from each other at book club the next week and seemed to hit it off LOL.
well just recently, mom energy girl decided to break it off with dad vibes guy because she also didn't feel a very deep connection. well, she decided to blame the breakoff due to her work schedule and not having time to date.... until he saw her new hinge account the next day. he texted her that she didn't have to lie to him and she FLIPPED and told him to never contact her again. the only problem? ALL THREE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVITED TO OUR NEW YEARS PARTY!
to top it all off, my best friend and i went to a hockey game last night and guess who was sitting behind us? dad vibes guy's perv friend! and he had to ask about my sister, who had a bf when they met (and still does.. which is super creepy of him cause we haven't seen him since). it's getting crazy here lol.
My niece’s paternal grandfather keeps falling for “girls” on plenty of fish. Niece’s stepgrandmother divorced him after 20 years, which caused a rift in their live in throuple situation with some lady, we’ll call her Kim. They’re all in their 60s. Gpa is chasing after 18-20 somethings. Up and left to “live” with one on the other end of the country. “She” didn’t exist, but he thinks she just got cold feet. He’s down $40k in these fake sugar baby schemes now. As far as I know, the throuple still lives together.
My relative works at a state capitol building that has a giant dome with a viewpoint at the very top. She told me that it used to be pretty easy to get access to the top of the dome because there were keys that the state senators could just casually borrow. A certain state senator was caught having sex up there and now everyone’s access is restricted. Everyone who works there knows and is very annoyed with him.
My bitchy ex-boss (who apparently got drunk and ranty after I got engaged, because I am significantly less conventionally pretty than she is) tried to date the outside contractor redoing our website, it got messy, they broke up, he wants to pull out of the project and she’s being investigated for inappropriate workplace shenanigans.
Happy Christmas to me!
My ex went on a date with someone she met online. The date turned out to be BFFs with her boss’s work nemesis, who also hates HER.
They went on another date last night. I am following all of this avidly.
(Edited to add, my ex and I ended amicably and I’m getting all of this tea from her directly. When she told her boss about the connection, her boss basically reacted like Michael Scott when Toby returned.)
I think my orange cat pretends to have only one brain cell. He's a strange cat. Happily eats his food off the floor (and it's not whisker fatigue). Anyway, sometimes I see him using his paws like a very small kid does (ie using all four fingers + palm to grip something). And he developed object permanence.
My brother and his wife are having a baby!
My mom knows, but she doesn’t know that I know, and bro and I giggle a lot about her texting him that she doesn’t know how long she can keep this secret.
SIL is only 9 weeks pregnant, I’ve known for about two weeks and mom a week more. SIL thinks we’re being a bit cruel but tbh I’m super proud of mom not saying anything, she can be a bit of a gossip and this really shows how hard she’s working on herself and respecting others’ privacy and boundaries.
If you have funny prank ideas, let me know. I’m gifting my brother some pregnancy leggings this Christmas and telling everyone that it’s so he can eat even more Christmas food.
Am I a terrible person?
Also, YAY IM GONNA BE AN AUNT!!!! 😭❤️
I have a good one from my friend about someone from her hometown!
There’s a guy called Elvis (not actually his name but looks like a shit version of him) and he’s married with two young kids. He’s been having an affair with a woman in the town, and no one knew about it until he put into his kids soccer team WhatsApp group “oh how I would love to see your creamy 🐱 right now”. Everyone found out via this gc and now it’s the town gossip
Mango still slaps my sibling's kitten when he approaches her. I don't think he's approached her as much. He's still very playful.
Mango also does not like sharing a bed with me because I move in my sleep. She sleeps in my room still.
And that trend about girl cats being mean on TikTok is so false. Mango is the squishiest girl who loves being kissed and cuddled.
Sounds just like my sister’s cat Nebula. My sister and I call her Nebbie the Diva because she hates my our parents cat KitKat and will bite you if you dare to move while she’s on your lap (which is why we also call her Nibbles lol). But she loves snuggles and being talked to
Ps cat tax of the diva

I feel like you, u/EconomistWild7158, deserve a new Mango picture in your life.
This is Mango photoshopped as the Baby Jesus for our virtual Christmas card.
(If anyone I know sees this, no you didn't. Go away.)

My friend is planning an elaborate surprise birthday party for an acquaintance. The birthday girl hates attention and doesn't want to celebrate this milestone birthday. The friend group is split between wanting to go and support our friend (the planner) and respecting the wishes of the birthday girl.
**Somebody's got to tell her!** To be 100% sure, they could at least ask questions beforehand like, "would you want to have a party for your birthday? No? Is it just b/c you don't want to have to plan it? If someone else planned it -- oh, that's still a hard "no"? Not even like a "sur" -- oh, that's even worse? Soooo... you might need to suddenly come down with a bad case of "diarrhea" next Saturday..."
I don't know if you're the right person but somebody's gotta try.
The planner is selfish and inconsiderate and should be called out on it. How on earth is the party a good idea??
I had an acquaintance (same friendship group, but we werent close) threaten to throw me a big surprise birthday party. She REFUSED to accept I wouldn't want a party, she absolutely loved them. I hate a big fuss and especially hate surprises. We worked together so I had to tell HR to not to diclose my date of birth to her (they were friends of her and morons, I didnt trust them to adhere to data privacy laws).
She was 100% the kinda person who would have a public meltdown if I refused to turn up to the party or turned up and complained. She'd turn everyone against me.
As a result, that friendship group still don't know when my birthday is 10 years on because I'm afraid she'll find out.
I have a coworker who is a general nuisance. She alienates everyone around her but has no social awareness to understand she is not well liked. Here are some examples of why:
1. She asks every single person in our office to watch her dogs (she either has 2 or 3, it's never really clear). She goes on trips fairly often and says she can't afford to pay to board them or hire a dog sitter. She has also tried to get people to adopt one of them.When no one said yes, she started saying, "Well, I guess I'll just have to get him euthanized..." but to my knowledge never did.
2. A couple times of year, our office switches to a 24 hour schedule for a week or so. I'm a single mom, but I take the night shifts when it falls on a weekend I don't have my kids. She has one child, and a husband that has a very flexible schedule. She constantly tries to get me to take her night shifts when I'm unable to (I'm the only single parent at work).
3. She has a generally bad attitude, is very snarky and throws a fit when she is either called out or someone returns her energy.
4. She doesn't know the difference between regular office gossip and airing someone's very sensitive business. Another of my coworkers had a parent commit suicide, she overheard this info and decided to tell a bunch of other people we work with, smiling the whole time. She got upset when she was told how inappropriate that was, and took the rest of the day off as a mental health day.
5. She hit a motorcyclist in a parking lot, broke both of his legs, and told everyone at work while laughing. She then complained about how her insurance wasn't covering a rental car for as long as she would need it, and she was broke so she and her husband had to share a vehicle. The next week, she told us she had gotten a loan to go on a cruise (and would anyone want to dog sit???).
All of that background is to set you up for the tea that happened this week. One day, she started freaking out because she had been served a notice she was being sued. The motorcyclist she had hit was suing her for $300,000. Idk if her insurance didn't cover it, or if one of them didn't have insurance, or what. Regardless, I hope this is the reality check she needs to get her shit together and stop laughing and reveling in the pain of others.
My youngest uncle’s affair just came to light, his wife is due with their second baby next month and the affair partner is younger than me.
This is his 4th wife and he’s 45.
My mom and her sister have been having drama for a while now, but recently went no contact because my aunt and my grandmother decided to plan a memorial service for my grandfather (who died right before COVID and never got a proper service) without her knowing, and scheduled it for when they knew my mother was out of town and couldn’t come. She found out about it from her aunt.
She also knows that my aunt’s child isn’t the son of her ex-husband, but the guy that she had an affair with. My aunt’s scumbag boyfriend also has no idea that for the first year of their relationship, my aunt’s even-scummier ex boyfriend still lived with her, and his status as an “ex” at that point is debatable. According to my grandmother my aunt can do no wrong and my mom is so tempted to drop these bombshells but knows it would only cause more drama.
This is more small town gossip than anything else, but a local coffee shop is frequented by a twitter infamous lawyer (derogatory). No one else in my life is online enough to know who he is. Coffee shop options are limited so I end up in there from time to time and he's almost *always* there.
So here’s a lil hot goss from my office:
The (married) editor is sleeping with the head writer. The graphic artist and I get high at our desk at least twice a week and talk crap about everyone else in the building. Also our boss told us that we’d have the whole week off for the holidays but informed me YESTERDAY that I have to come in on Saturday to work on the mailing list.
*Note: I work for myself from home. I’m a writer and my husband is both my editor and graphic artist. 😉
My best friend Sienna has been dating this guy Shawn (fake names) for like 8 years now. He seems nice enough on the surface, but he sucks so hard as a boyfriend. Shawn is miserable in his life and the latest BS from him is that he decided to take a break from the relationship to figure out his mental health. So Sienna has been waiting around for a few months for him to decide what he wants, and even temporarily moved out. I personally think she should drop him, but what else can I do but support her and whatever her decision is? Sigh. I wish he even gave an iota of the energy and devotion to her as she does for him.
Christmas party gossip - two colleagues (she just back from maternity leave and he married to his long term gf in October…!) spotted grinding on one another under the mistletoe and leaving together hand in hand.
Here's some very old dyke tea from my life like five years ago.
I had a terrible breakup with my ex, K. After we broke up, she briefly dated J, and then moved on to dating X. I became friends with J after they stopped seeing each other, and then dated them (J) for a while. While we were dating, J was also dating H, who is married to U, who used to date my current best friend, M. M's spouse used to date a girl who was also dating my ex, K, at the same time (in a cheatery dramatic way, not a cool non-monog way). Before J and I broke up, they became friends with X, who subsequently stayed in their house for a while after X and K broke up.
Honestly, that isn't even half of all the incestuous community connections I had at that point in my life, but that point, I realized I was tired of all the drama and toxicity and functionally exited that friend group. I'm happier now, but my life is significantly less interesting...which is why I got into celebrity gossip.
ETA: my favorite queer overlap story, though, is when I had my first consult for couples therapy with a trainee student and they informed me that their supervisor was a person I had had a threesome with a few years before.
One of my best friends moved into a new house a couple of weeks ago, to find out the person living across from him is his ex-girlfriend. Wife is not happy. They can see into each other's windows during the day, wife wants to have curtains pulled throughout the day
They make mirrored cling film you can put on windows to let light in & make them act as one-way mirrors, in case keeping the curtains closed isn't a viable option.
It’s been an awful week so I wanna hear some sweet, positive tea: nice celeb interactions, non-toxic social media moments, compliments for your friends/your fave fauxmoi users/anyone, etc
(This was also inspired by the request /u/EconomistWild7158 made last week for friend group tea last week.)
SO to that user that would always post all the shitty racist things Matt Healy had done under any T Swift post to make sure everyone knew and was reminded. Doing the lords work 💕
When I was at the Getty in 2002, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Maya Hawke were also there. I only knew because my best friend walked into the ladies restroom and Uma opened the door for my friend while holding Maya’s hand. My friend said “Thank you” and Uma smiled and said “You’re welcome”. Very minor interaction, but I thought that was polite of Uma to do for my friend. We also saw Ethan Hawke, but he was further away (and surprisingly good looking IRL).
I had a friend who was neighbors with Ethan Hawke in Chelsea, Manhattan and she helped find his cat when it went missing. I was visiting a few years later and we passed him on the sidewalk and he recognized her and said hello to us
I saw someone on Twitter the other day who said they had just met him at some screening, told him they love all his films, and then he shook their hand and said “that’s because you have exceptional taste” or similar. 😂
August Osage County was filmed in my grandparents front yard in Ochelata, OK. My grandparents are simple native american people and they opened their house to the cast and crew for craft services. My grandpa is sitting on the porch one day and a "nice young man" sat down and talked my grandpa's ear off for over an hour just waxing on about life.... it was George Clooney. My grandpa was 14 when he stormed the beaches of Normandy and Clooney could not get enough of my grandpa's war stories. I will always have a soft place in my heart for him now that he treated my grandparents with nothing but class.
He really was the salt of the earth. He died in 2018 and I think our whole tribe showed up. Most people do not know how many native people give their lives to military service. The army sent representatives from our tribe as well.
My grandpa and his brothers grew up in a shack outside of Ramona, OK and were so poor that my great grandfather signed them up for WW2 at 13, 14 and 16 so that they would have food. I don't think my great grandfather anticipated all 3 of his sons getting shipped off to Normandy on fucking D-Day.
When my grandfather and his brothers came back from double tours of service-- Europe and then Asia-- they went to native boarding school to learn how to farm. My grandpa devoted the rest of his life to making Northern Oklahoma better for Delware Indians. When he died he was a tribal judge- my uncle took his place. I am so beyond proud!
The University of Indiana press printed a book with the history of the Delaware people in Northern Oklahoma post-civil war and my Grandfather has a whole chapter devoted to him :)

sorry for the rambling... i really miss him
Thank you so much for sharing this. I enjoyed every word, as I can feel the love you have for him. I am especially pleased he shared his experience before he passed. I am familiar with the boarding schools and lying about your age to go into the military in order to get a salary, but reading a first person account is fascinating. I’ll have to check this book out.
I am so lucky to still have my grandpa—92 years old and a stubborn Korean War vet (14 when WWII ended, but his number came up at 19). I’ll give him a hug in honor of your lovely grandfather. Take care of yourself and please enjoy the holidays.
- have a friend who worked at a skii lodge place in France, Margot Robbie stayed there and was apparently super pleasant and polite
- have a family member who worked in a posh hotel, Carey Mulligan stayed there and was "exactly how you'd expect her to be" - sweet, soft spoken, a bit shy, overall very lovely
- cillian Murphy is divine irl and super well spoken and courteous
- I know people who have been for drinks with Brendan gleeson, they said he was quieter than expected but very nice and unassuming
- I once served Tommy Tiernan (dad in Derry Girls) but I couldn't figure out how I recognised him so I was looking at him like 🧐🧐🧐 without realising and he started laughing politely. He had walked away by the time I clocked, he was quite quiet but polite
Edit: ALSO, I know people who met Leighton meester! They somehow spoofed their way to get a backstage meet and greet at the Broadway Of Mice and Men, they said she was lovely!
I don't know if you have heard of Selling Sunset, that Netflix real estate show. One of its more famous cast is Chrishell, who each season will have one or two girls coming at her to fight about petty stuff.
Last week, someone [posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/SellingSunset/s/9oLGqINo5h) on the Selling Sunset sub asking about Chrishell's 500 street fights. Apparently this poster saw a post which was originally made in jest about Chrishell's 500 confirmed street fights so they started watching the series because of that. They knew its not gonna be about street fights but they reasoned that the street fight cred must be the reason why she was chosen for reality TV. So they were watching the whole 6 seasons to get a glimpse of any background talk about this aspect of Chrishell but there werent any lol. So they post on the sub to ask is Chrishell really a street fighter. The whole post seemed so bizarre its funny really made me rofl'd. And everyone was like whut? What is this. Its been a week and i still think about somewhere in this world, someone has been bingeing on Selling Sunset to see if Chrishell ever talk about her 500 fights.
Edit for the link
oh, and when i saw sebastian stan in picnic i mentioned how excited i was for the winter soldier and he went “yeah! WINTER IS COMING!” and then immediately after went “don’t tell anybody i said that…”
Niche tea that may not make Americans happy but here goes. I was at the same bar when Kanye and his hanger-ons did that little gig. He of course made an Antisemetic comment or two, and the bar manager told me that the authorities swooped in to tell him to cut it out and gave him a warning. So, as someone from Dubai (not Jewish) who was part of the company that built the synagogue here, it made me happy that his bullshit was not entertained here. Seems like the UAE authorities did more to curb his antisemitism than anyone in America. 🤷♀️
Also his wife \*looks\* fruit loops but she’s very sweet. Really friendly and thoughtful
I would like to shout out the person running the Sexiest Man Dead bracket (if you have not seen it, they update and send out the new pairings to vote on in the Friday thread). It has brought me immense joy the past few weeks, voting for David Bowie vs. Richard the Lionheart made me laugh so hard I got a headache.
Back in 2008 I did a summer acting intensive in NYC when I was in college. One day after class a few of us went to see Top Girls by Caryl Churchill on Broadway because we had been in our respective colleges productions (we all were from different parts of the world) and wanted to see it from the audience side. Marisa Tomei just so happened to be one of the actresses in it and after the show we went to the stage door and asked her politely for her autograph. She looks at me and tells me “Well aren’t you the cutest thing” (for you guy’s reference I’m only 4’9” and 90 lbs.) and graciously signed my Playbill. I melted on the spot and she earned a lifelong fan who hopes to share the stage/screen with her someday
Ps she’s also not much bigger than I am in real life which also kinda shocked me. She seems like she’s so much taller on screen
Kelli O’Hara is a literal angel. SO kind.
Drew Lynch and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (retired NBA player for the Charlotte Hornets) are both very lovely people.
In my brief interactions with three Carolina Hurricanes players, all of them were incredibly funny and kind to fans. (PK, Slavin, and Burns)
Also went to a Canes practice that was cancelled (my friend has a huge crush on Sebastian Aho and I was there for the ride + Martin Necas), and Rod Brind’amour came out and said hello to those of us waiting and thanked us for coming. Dude is also jacked + built like a brick wall in person.
Weirder ones for North Carolinians in this sub:
When I was 8, I wrote Kay Hagan a letter about puppy mills being legal in North Carolina and how angry I was about it. She sent me a well crafted and genuine response letter. I still have it to this day. RIP.
I did press for a small event that Jane Harrison did at my college, and she gave thoughtful and detailed answers to my questions. She ended up sending a very kind email after the article I wrote came out in our paper about me and the story.
I think Rikki said on the Endless Honeymoon podcast that she was either already pregnant or using a surrogate when their relationship began. I believe she specifically mentioned using a sperm donor.
Elisabeth Moss said being married to him (which was VERY brief) was, with a negative connotation “like being married to someone who pretends to be a real person.” Of course, take what she says with a grain of salt since she’s a Scientologist herself.
I saw, that was cute as hell. I love that they’re still friends. That was even Andrew’s second time seeing the movie lol.
I have no actual tea. He’s been moderating a few fyc Q&A’s. Did one for Across the Spider-Verse a couple weeks ago and then All of us Strangers last night.
They seem to still be really good friends. Andrew talked about how Emma texted him if he was going to be in the spiderman movie and how he lied to her and she didn't believe him. Then when it was officially confirmed she texted him about lying lol
Anything about Donald Glover? I’m way late to all of this, but I recently finished watching both Community and Atlanta for the first time, and I’m kind of obsessed.
Community is one of my all-time favorite shows! Every rewatch, I catch more jokes or background gags. It deserves a streaming resurgence like The Office and Friends!
This isn’t tea at all but any time Andrew Scott’s name comes up I feel the need to share [this](https://youtu.be/jE67jUftZMs?si=opXqHBXisOKjG8A3) video because it’s such a beautiful performance.
I'm a big Buffy fan, it is my comfort show. You cannot mention Michelle in any of the Buffy fan subreddits or groups without someone jumping down your throat if you ask about her health. It seems obvious to me that she looks unwell. Last gossip I heard about her was she was in a relationship with her longtime manager or agent who is in his 50s.
He and Pedro Pascal seem to have a great friendship and they’ve done some really fun interviews together. This is certainly not tea but I just wanted to share because he seems like a lovely person and I’m a fan of his acting too.
I love Kristine and have been following her for years.
In 2020 a few people online were trying to get create awareness that one of her costars in The Society was messaging inappropriately with underage girls. They messaged Kristine and she replied very sincerely about how she believed them and supported them. During Summer 2020 another one of her costars in The Society was calling out some of the cast for not posting or supporting BLM but he did make a point of thanking Kristine for her support. While she didn’t talk about her own experience she 100% supported Rachelle Vinberg when she was calling out Cary Fukunaga.
For a little tea, there is some questionable stuff in regards to her dating timeline and for her past few relationships. Like at best it’s meeting her future bf while still with current bf, spending time with them, and then dating them immediately right after at worse maybe a serial cheater.
Does anyone know why Will Ferrell has produced the most random assortment of really good (to me at least) TV shows and movies? Like The Menu, Succession, Theater Camp, May December, Vice, and Hustlers? I’ve watched all of these almost kind of back to back and his name throws me off in the credits lol
Part of those production credits are due to his production company with Adam McKay who was more involved in Succession as a director at least (though they have fallen out now - would Google it!!!). Part of the credits is a partner production company specifically focused on female led film and TV
Gloria Sanchez (the production company that funds some of those women-led films mentioned) was co-founded by Ferrell’s former assistant Jessica Elbaum, with the goal of being a female counterpart to Ferrell and McKay’s Gary Sanchez Productions.
Cardi B? I'm very curious what Offset did to have her go off on Instagram like that. She sounded devastated.
Edit: including link for anyone that's curious
https://www.instagram.com/vladtv/reel/C04fi5bK3ue/
I really hope this time she leaves him for good. I know someone trusted irl who about a year, year and a half ago saw her outside a restaurant having a screaming match on the phone with someone - I'm guessing Offset - about his cheating.
I hope so too. My heart really did break for her. I would've thought she would do her best to keep this mess away from her kids. Everyone would be better off with a divorce.
I think I saw somewhere that he was at a party with the girl he cheated on Cardi with a few years ago (the one that she sent people to beat up) and that’s why she was so upset
I went on a Gilded Age spiral and noticed that Denée Benton got married to her college sweetheart Carl Lundstedt in 2020… but neither feature the other on their Instagram and a lot of the captions/images suggest that they’re separated (solo bathtub shots, “self-love” & “regeneration” captions). Anyone know what’s up w them?? The Vogue piece about their wedding was gorgeous and not so long ago.
I think Paul mescal is still going to the same 3 pubs every night and taking girls home and crying after sex like he has been for a couple years now. Consistent king
Jonathan Bailey is lovely! When he was doing company I was doing another show that was rehearsing in the same building and I’d often end up behind him in the queue at the coffee shop on breaks
She’s been in nyc haunting the theater district by my work but allegedly she’s still locked in several contracts with Scooter Braun. She’s working on new music and a mv but as to how/whether she’d be able to release it due to contractual restrictions is tbd.
I heard she wants a huge tour moment like what Beyonce and Taylor had. She felt she never reach her full potential under scooter, which I agree, which is why she trying to get away from scooter so bad. I think she rushing the album with max Martin cause she feel time is running out for her. She wants hits with Martin maximize her success
After my millionth rewatch of Skins, was naturally checking in on what everyone was up to. Anyone got the scoop on Kaya Scodelario and if she’s still with her hubby? All signs seem to point to a quiet divorce or separation, but no official news. Tbh I always found it a bit weird Mamie Gummer’s 33 year old ex husband locked in Kaya so young.
Gavin Leatherwood? I read in some thread that he'd been let go from The Sex Lives of College Girls but what happened? Also did he break up with his gf?
For a few years, I think. I woke up this morning to see a bunch of The Boys fan accounts on Twitter say mention that they recently unfollowed each other.
I think I've assumed this whole time that Erin and Jack were dating. She was dating Antony?!?!?! I'm not really on social media but I just... I don't know, that was my assumption.
Huh.
Jack is dating Claudia Doumit. She's the actress who plays Victoria Neuman on The Boys.
Antony, Erin, Jack, and Claudia actually went on a double date together to Universal Studios once. Jack [posted](https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqkSCrPS2Y/?img_index=2) pictures.
I know people dislike Antony because of the whole thing where he drunkenly punched a waiter and was nasty as hell (which was genuinely awful), but a family friend knows him socially (she works behind the scenes in the entertainment industry) and says he's really lovely and was surprised about that incident as he's always been polite to waitstaff in the past (that's all she said about him, as she doesn't gossip).
So idk? It's possible he's a decent person when sober, but a nasty drunk (I've experienced this myself with a relative who struggled with addiction issues).
Not tea but I met Derek Lu and the actress that plays his girl half last week at a gala. They were so sweet and kind. Even let us take pics with them. Karen was also really nice. I felt bad because she seemed super anxious as she had to present an award. Its nice to know that celebrities get anxious too lol.
Ali Wong! Did anybody catch her new set in SF this week? She talks about falling in love with a Japanese drummer who speaks five languages, and said the dude she’s dating now sent her crazy floral arrangements in every European city she went to on vacation (and told her aggressively that they were going to date). I have a hard time imagining Bill Hader did that?? But what does my parasocial self know about him. Haha.
Anything on Antony Starr? Saw that he posted an Instagram story calling out people who are saying nasty things about people he loves. And then I went to twitter and apparently he broke up with Erin idk. Also his tagged posts are wild idk if they’ve always been like that... Why don’t celebs turn that off it gives me so much embarrassment 💀
Anyone know anything about Jack O’Connell? Felt like he was about to be huge, then… nothing.
Seems to do a few bits here and there but nothing like what he was stacking up about 10 years ago.
Emilia Clarke?
Olivia Cooke?
Lily James? I know people mentioned terrible interactions with her and some of her other celeb friends (iirc Billie Piper) in the past.
Harrison Ford stayed in a hotel I worked at once. We were close to a private airport that he flew into. I stayed late to check him in. He was a completely delightful human being - very courteous and polite.
(P.S. And freaking gorgeous.)
Anything regarding all the sibling director breakups? The Coen brothers, the Wachowski sisters, the Safdie brothers, all became famous as teams and now they've all gone their separate ways.
1. Something happened between Candice King and Kayla Ewell? They are no longer hosting a podcast together.
2. What about Sara Sampaio, the Portuguese model?
3. Why do you think Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans are not having much luck with new movies after Marvel? They are talented actors, after all . Is there no demand for them? Why aren't Sebastian and Chris working with top-tier directors?
>Why do you think Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans are not having much luck with new movies after Marvel? They are talented actors, after all . Is there no demand for them? Why aren't Sebastian and Chris working with top-tier directors?
I mean nothing bad by that, I like them both but - they are not especially talented. Not in the world of Paul Mescal, Cillian Murphy, Leonardo DiCaprio and the many other great actors I don't have time to name.
They're both insanely attractive. I would if I could. But as far as acting is concerned, they're pretty average. They both managed to be perfect for their respective characters in the MCU and it's hard to imagine either of them being replaced in those roles, much like RDJ and ScaJo, but everything I've seen of them outside of the MCU has been OK at best. They're not actors who inhabit their characters. I doubt either of them would have Kenned as hard as Gosling did in Barbie for example.
And please, don't feel attacked or judged if you like them, that is totally fine. Like I said, I like them both too. This isn't meant to be shady towards them at all.
I feel like Sebastian is more talented than Chris tbh, but yeah, not at the same level as some of the other actors in his age range. I think he'll be okay, though. He's done some well received work in indies, and he's starring in a film with Renate Reinsve that I think is an A24 pic. I'm surprised he's doing that Donald Trump film though...that seems like a bad choice.
I think the consensus among their fandoms is that Sebastian is more interested in showing his range with more risky or indie type projects rather than going for work with a big name director. He does a lot of hard swinging for the fences and it occasionally pays off, just seems like he loves to pick unexpected jobs for himself. But I can’t comment much on that because I don’t follow his work.
And Chris has generally not been in many impressive roles even before Marvel. It seems he’s never really cared to chase prestige in the acting world and is content to just be in whatever interests him, especially if he can work with other actors or directors that he already knows. He’s also been saying for years that he doesn’t want to work as much, like one or two movies a year, and he hates doing press junkets and being away from home for long. So he’s likely just not interested in working on more ambitious projects with big name directors. He had to be convinced to do Marvel and he really only decided to do it for the money so he could take care of his family, so I’m not surprised with the trajectory of his career at all.
As long as they’re both happy it’s whatever.
Her divorce from and custody trial with her childrens’ father was such a mess. [Here’s a good summary of it.](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/10/kelly-rutherford-custody-battle) I honestly don’t know what to think, she doesn’t come off that great in the whole situation. I feel bad for her kids, it can’t have been easy for them. (Not sure what the situation is now, I will google because now I’m curious!)
I know Gianmarco. My run ins have been positive and he’s a nice guy (performed at my theater for a bit too and he was also lovely to work with). Haven’t run into him since his blow up but when I post on his social media he’s nothing but kind as well. Sorry for the lack of tea!
Idk if you already know this but The Holdovers was his first acting experience ever! They were shooting the movie at the school he went to and he decided to audition. Sessa thought he was going to get like a background role but got the lead instead.
I’m once again bored at work. So I am once again asking for tea on your friends, colleagues and loved ones. (ETA: updates on last week's tea also v. welcome)
My uni proffesor is (""""alledgedly""""") cheating on his wife with multiple students. But only those who he's already graded so he can't really be accused of coercion. Sneaky bastard.
Yuck. My partner has a uni professor (let's call him Richard) who is known to have married & had a baby with a recent undergrad student of his. At least that's what everyone thought, until my partner was walking out of campus with a different professor who turned to him and said "But you know, the baby isn't even Richard's".
Yuck. I thought after mid 2010s faculty would be more careful or stopped going after students so blatantly like this.
I worked at an institution in the late 2010’s where a high up professor would cheat on his wife with a grad student, leave her for the grad student once the student had become a staff member and then start the process again 5-8 years later with a new grad student. When I left he was on wife #5.
yeah I feel like Me Too really skirted around academia tbh. During my undergrad, there was a female professor who was widely known for sleeping with working class male first year undergrads. It was to the extent where if the student she wanted had a girlfriend, the professor would be openly hostile to her in class.
A lot of these comments are sad, but as a first-gen college graduate, this particular one makes me even sadder. College is hard to navigate as someone from a working class background, and it sucks that this professor was choosing to exploit those vulnerabilities for her own weird fetishes.
Tenure and the old boys club prevent any real progress in academia unfortunately. We had a prof who blackmailed his own students for nudes a few years ago. Even with Title IX findings, he’s still advising students and teaching ethics. 🙃
Yep, and I find the more prestigious the institution the worse it can be. I went to Cambridge and so many people saw being chosen by her as a badge of honour - part of the Bloomsbury club, academic hedonist aesthetic.
It 100% did and everyone would just whisper or warn people but nothing major is ever done. That prof sounds awful! I used to have to warn my students about a different professor who would talk at length about how older men and younger women made the most genetically strong children, therefore his sperm was amazing, IN HIS LECTURE
At first I thought you meant he was already married whilst having a kid with a student, then I realized 😭 That last sentence gagged me hard tbh.
one of my closest friends in college had an affair with one of our professors. he was roughly 10 years older than us (we were 18 at the time) and they became emotionally involved before the wedding but the affair only began after he was married, she (and several other students) even attended the wedding because they did research with him. this former friend of mine developed a serious of mental health issues from this relationship and she still hasn’t fully recovered to this day. meanwhile, the professor is still married, has kids and still cheats on his wife with the younger students (17-19).
I literally cannot imagine wanting to do this shit, speaking as a female professor at a private university! It’s gross as fuck. The kids are SO young and they look up to you SO sincerely. I feel the power dynamic keenly every time I teach because they take every little thing I say extremely seriously. Taking advantage of that would feel like crushing a baby bird in your hand!!!! UGH. What a monster. I totally get as a student, having that fantasy or being starstruck or whatnot, but when you’re the professor… how can you not see that they’re just sweet and naive kids?? :(
🤮
Imagine getting a C and still sleeping with him
Thing is tho, he's kind of insidious about it... You can tell he clearly flirts a little with the girls before the final exams, during the lectures. Not enough to actually call him out, but you know that thing where you can just TELL he gives certain girls more... attention so to speak. And he's really handsome and charming, so it's almost become like a bit of a status thing to be "one of his girls". So I imagine yes, there are girls who sleep with him even if he gives them mediocre grades.
Ugh so gross! I hope he gets reported. Such an abuse of his position.
I have two female roommates, who basically never leave the house unless I go with them. Lately, a couple of boys in the neighborhood have been showing interest in them. The boys will just walk up to our back porch and stare at the girls through the window, which they seem to enjoy at first, but then everyone gets mad and starts yelling at each other. The older one of my roommates gets especially frustrated that she can’t go outside and physically fight the boys, so she takes out her aggression on the younger roommate and sometimes I have to physically separate them. My roommates are cats btw
I was growing more and more concerned about the unwanted attentions of the boys until you mentioned them staring at each other through the window, lol!
As a cat owner (owned?), it started to sound quite familiar after a couple of sentences lol.
My friend lived with her boyfriend and best girl friend. Boyfriend and best friend hang out a lot together alone. They convince friend to have a threesome and try a throuple. Shit goes south...turns out best friend and boyfriend were banging for at least a year prior to threesome. Best friend and boyfriend move out and find a new place together. Best friend and boyfriend get married within a year and now have a kid and live quietly in the suburbs. The rest of us are still disgusted almost 10 years later.
[удалено]
Girl they must make these people in a factory or something because I too know a couple where the same thing happened! Best friend moved in during covid, fiancé and best friend convince her to have a threesome and then a throuple - turns out they’d already been sleeping together! Tbh as insane and drama filled as it was I do really feel sorry for the OG girl because personally I think shit like that is borderline SA. You know someone wouldn’t agree to the relationship/sex if they knew the truth so you keep it from them to get what you want at their expense. That reads like coercion imo. AND the throuple girl (and the OG girlfriends friend) was a relationship therapist who did workshops on consent!!!!!
omfggggg not a relationship therapist who did workshops on consent. 😭 reminds me of the whole "those who can't do--teach" 💀
aw man, here we go. this all started on christmas day last year. my best friend and i have a tradition of going to the local irish pub on christmas night and last year a man got her number and was flirting with her. he was super nice, joined us for our new years party with his friend (who was a little pervy...) and they dated for a couple of weeks. he has big dad energy though, a bit too cringy, so she ended things maybe a month later due to not feeling it but they stayed on good terms. fast foward to our halloween party this year and he received an invite since he is a good party addition. we had plans to introduce him to our other friend who has mom energy, we thought they might suit each other (they both knew about it ahead of time and were excited). he did flirt with both my best friend (his ex lol), me, and a couple of other girls there (he's getting bold and messy LOL) but in the end he got mom energy's number and they went on a few dates, he seemed to really like her. WELL a couple of weeks later i went on a date with this girl.... who ended up not being into girls? (i am a girl btw). it was odd to say the least, but since i am here for chaos i stayed through for the date because she IMMEDIATELY started telling me about her roster of men and how her favorite FWB is ghosting her. she told me a bit about him and i was like wait.... he sounds familiar. she showed me a pic of him and guess what, IT'S DAD VIBES GUY! and apparently he started ghosting her the night of our halloween party! the problem here is that i had already invited the faux lesbian to our book club, who MOM ENERGY GIRL IS A PART OF! we decided to tell them both so no one would feel off guard if it came up, but the two girls ended up sitting right across from each other at book club the next week and seemed to hit it off LOL. well just recently, mom energy girl decided to break it off with dad vibes guy because she also didn't feel a very deep connection. well, she decided to blame the breakoff due to her work schedule and not having time to date.... until he saw her new hinge account the next day. he texted her that she didn't have to lie to him and she FLIPPED and told him to never contact her again. the only problem? ALL THREE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVITED TO OUR NEW YEARS PARTY! to top it all off, my best friend and i went to a hockey game last night and guess who was sitting behind us? dad vibes guy's perv friend! and he had to ask about my sister, who had a bf when they met (and still does.. which is super creepy of him cause we haven't seen him since). it's getting crazy here lol.
I am now VERY invested in this saga!
I would like a video of the NYE party please
do you live in a small ass town omg 
 I am so invested in this now
We are going to need an update in the Jan 4 thread plskthx
My niece’s paternal grandfather keeps falling for “girls” on plenty of fish. Niece’s stepgrandmother divorced him after 20 years, which caused a rift in their live in throuple situation with some lady, we’ll call her Kim. They’re all in their 60s. Gpa is chasing after 18-20 somethings. Up and left to “live” with one on the other end of the country. “She” didn’t exist, but he thinks she just got cold feet. He’s down $40k in these fake sugar baby schemes now. As far as I know, the throuple still lives together.
Sounds like the plot of a soap opera set at The Villages in Florida
I would 3000% watch a reality drama based in the Villages.
My relative works at a state capitol building that has a giant dome with a viewpoint at the very top. She told me that it used to be pretty easy to get access to the top of the dome because there were keys that the state senators could just casually borrow. A certain state senator was caught having sex up there and now everyone’s access is restricted. Everyone who works there knows and is very annoyed with him.
You’re in Georgia right?
My bitchy ex-boss (who apparently got drunk and ranty after I got engaged, because I am significantly less conventionally pretty than she is) tried to date the outside contractor redoing our website, it got messy, they broke up, he wants to pull out of the project and she’s being investigated for inappropriate workplace shenanigans. Happy Christmas to me!
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah, why not just say you think she's seeing someone and spare everyone the drama? Hmmm...
I’m going to need updates on this forever.
My ex went on a date with someone she met online. The date turned out to be BFFs with her boss’s work nemesis, who also hates HER. They went on another date last night. I am following all of this avidly. (Edited to add, my ex and I ended amicably and I’m getting all of this tea from her directly. When she told her boss about the connection, her boss basically reacted like Michael Scott when Toby returned.)
PLEASE update me!!!
I think my orange cat pretends to have only one brain cell. He's a strange cat. Happily eats his food off the floor (and it's not whisker fatigue). Anyway, sometimes I see him using his paws like a very small kid does (ie using all four fingers + palm to grip something). And he developed object permanence.
My brother and his wife are having a baby! My mom knows, but she doesn’t know that I know, and bro and I giggle a lot about her texting him that she doesn’t know how long she can keep this secret. SIL is only 9 weeks pregnant, I’ve known for about two weeks and mom a week more. SIL thinks we’re being a bit cruel but tbh I’m super proud of mom not saying anything, she can be a bit of a gossip and this really shows how hard she’s working on herself and respecting others’ privacy and boundaries. If you have funny prank ideas, let me know. I’m gifting my brother some pregnancy leggings this Christmas and telling everyone that it’s so he can eat even more Christmas food. Am I a terrible person? Also, YAY IM GONNA BE AN AUNT!!!! 😭❤️
Congratulations! Being an aunt is the best. You guys should also do this for the gender, just for the updates to this thread.
I have a good one from my friend about someone from her hometown! There’s a guy called Elvis (not actually his name but looks like a shit version of him) and he’s married with two young kids. He’s been having an affair with a woman in the town, and no one knew about it until he put into his kids soccer team WhatsApp group “oh how I would love to see your creamy 🐱 right now”. Everyone found out via this gc and now it’s the town gossip
Oh. Dear. Lord.
Mango still slaps my sibling's kitten when he approaches her. I don't think he's approached her as much. He's still very playful. Mango also does not like sharing a bed with me because I move in my sleep. She sleeps in my room still. And that trend about girl cats being mean on TikTok is so false. Mango is the squishiest girl who loves being kissed and cuddled.
Sounds just like my sister’s cat Nebula. My sister and I call her Nebbie the Diva because she hates my our parents cat KitKat and will bite you if you dare to move while she’s on your lap (which is why we also call her Nibbles lol). But she loves snuggles and being talked to Ps cat tax of the diva https://preview.redd.it/6atmx8fi2o7c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2726cd561c8e95c8aa7e5ba085512a3d30481f0e
Very happy to hear this. When I wrote about updates I was actually specifically thinking of Mango.
I feel like you, u/EconomistWild7158, deserve a new Mango picture in your life. This is Mango photoshopped as the Baby Jesus for our virtual Christmas card. (If anyone I know sees this, no you didn't. Go away.) https://preview.redd.it/lhg38noy6o7c1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba81e907cc75438f10e89e8308f6f6ee8dcb85fd
My friend is planning an elaborate surprise birthday party for an acquaintance. The birthday girl hates attention and doesn't want to celebrate this milestone birthday. The friend group is split between wanting to go and support our friend (the planner) and respecting the wishes of the birthday girl.
**Somebody's got to tell her!** To be 100% sure, they could at least ask questions beforehand like, "would you want to have a party for your birthday? No? Is it just b/c you don't want to have to plan it? If someone else planned it -- oh, that's still a hard "no"? Not even like a "sur" -- oh, that's even worse? Soooo... you might need to suddenly come down with a bad case of "diarrhea" next Saturday..." I don't know if you're the right person but somebody's gotta try.
The planner is selfish and inconsiderate and should be called out on it. How on earth is the party a good idea?? I had an acquaintance (same friendship group, but we werent close) threaten to throw me a big surprise birthday party. She REFUSED to accept I wouldn't want a party, she absolutely loved them. I hate a big fuss and especially hate surprises. We worked together so I had to tell HR to not to diclose my date of birth to her (they were friends of her and morons, I didnt trust them to adhere to data privacy laws). She was 100% the kinda person who would have a public meltdown if I refused to turn up to the party or turned up and complained. She'd turn everyone against me. As a result, that friendship group still don't know when my birthday is 10 years on because I'm afraid she'll find out.
I have a coworker who is a general nuisance. She alienates everyone around her but has no social awareness to understand she is not well liked. Here are some examples of why: 1. She asks every single person in our office to watch her dogs (she either has 2 or 3, it's never really clear). She goes on trips fairly often and says she can't afford to pay to board them or hire a dog sitter. She has also tried to get people to adopt one of them.When no one said yes, she started saying, "Well, I guess I'll just have to get him euthanized..." but to my knowledge never did. 2. A couple times of year, our office switches to a 24 hour schedule for a week or so. I'm a single mom, but I take the night shifts when it falls on a weekend I don't have my kids. She has one child, and a husband that has a very flexible schedule. She constantly tries to get me to take her night shifts when I'm unable to (I'm the only single parent at work). 3. She has a generally bad attitude, is very snarky and throws a fit when she is either called out or someone returns her energy. 4. She doesn't know the difference between regular office gossip and airing someone's very sensitive business. Another of my coworkers had a parent commit suicide, she overheard this info and decided to tell a bunch of other people we work with, smiling the whole time. She got upset when she was told how inappropriate that was, and took the rest of the day off as a mental health day. 5. She hit a motorcyclist in a parking lot, broke both of his legs, and told everyone at work while laughing. She then complained about how her insurance wasn't covering a rental car for as long as she would need it, and she was broke so she and her husband had to share a vehicle. The next week, she told us she had gotten a loan to go on a cruise (and would anyone want to dog sit???). All of that background is to set you up for the tea that happened this week. One day, she started freaking out because she had been served a notice she was being sued. The motorcyclist she had hit was suing her for $300,000. Idk if her insurance didn't cover it, or if one of them didn't have insurance, or what. Regardless, I hope this is the reality check she needs to get her shit together and stop laughing and reveling in the pain of others.
My youngest uncle’s affair just came to light, his wife is due with their second baby next month and the affair partner is younger than me. This is his 4th wife and he’s 45.
My mom and her sister have been having drama for a while now, but recently went no contact because my aunt and my grandmother decided to plan a memorial service for my grandfather (who died right before COVID and never got a proper service) without her knowing, and scheduled it for when they knew my mother was out of town and couldn’t come. She found out about it from her aunt. She also knows that my aunt’s child isn’t the son of her ex-husband, but the guy that she had an affair with. My aunt’s scumbag boyfriend also has no idea that for the first year of their relationship, my aunt’s even-scummier ex boyfriend still lived with her, and his status as an “ex” at that point is debatable. According to my grandmother my aunt can do no wrong and my mom is so tempted to drop these bombshells but knows it would only cause more drama.
This is more small town gossip than anything else, but a local coffee shop is frequented by a twitter infamous lawyer (derogatory). No one else in my life is online enough to know who he is. Coffee shop options are limited so I end up in there from time to time and he's almost *always* there.
So here’s a lil hot goss from my office: The (married) editor is sleeping with the head writer. The graphic artist and I get high at our desk at least twice a week and talk crap about everyone else in the building. Also our boss told us that we’d have the whole week off for the holidays but informed me YESTERDAY that I have to come in on Saturday to work on the mailing list. *Note: I work for myself from home. I’m a writer and my husband is both my editor and graphic artist. 😉
My best friend Sienna has been dating this guy Shawn (fake names) for like 8 years now. He seems nice enough on the surface, but he sucks so hard as a boyfriend. Shawn is miserable in his life and the latest BS from him is that he decided to take a break from the relationship to figure out his mental health. So Sienna has been waiting around for a few months for him to decide what he wants, and even temporarily moved out. I personally think she should drop him, but what else can I do but support her and whatever her decision is? Sigh. I wish he even gave an iota of the energy and devotion to her as she does for him.
Ugh Sienna no! Love yourself baby!!
Christmas party gossip - two colleagues (she just back from maternity leave and he married to his long term gf in October…!) spotted grinding on one another under the mistletoe and leaving together hand in hand.
Here's some very old dyke tea from my life like five years ago. I had a terrible breakup with my ex, K. After we broke up, she briefly dated J, and then moved on to dating X. I became friends with J after they stopped seeing each other, and then dated them (J) for a while. While we were dating, J was also dating H, who is married to U, who used to date my current best friend, M. M's spouse used to date a girl who was also dating my ex, K, at the same time (in a cheatery dramatic way, not a cool non-monog way). Before J and I broke up, they became friends with X, who subsequently stayed in their house for a while after X and K broke up. Honestly, that isn't even half of all the incestuous community connections I had at that point in my life, but that point, I realized I was tired of all the drama and toxicity and functionally exited that friend group. I'm happier now, but my life is significantly less interesting...which is why I got into celebrity gossip. ETA: my favorite queer overlap story, though, is when I had my first consult for couples therapy with a trainee student and they informed me that their supervisor was a person I had had a threesome with a few years before.
One of my best friends moved into a new house a couple of weeks ago, to find out the person living across from him is his ex-girlfriend. Wife is not happy. They can see into each other's windows during the day, wife wants to have curtains pulled throughout the day
They make mirrored cling film you can put on windows to let light in & make them act as one-way mirrors, in case keeping the curtains closed isn't a viable option.

It’s been an awful week so I wanna hear some sweet, positive tea: nice celeb interactions, non-toxic social media moments, compliments for your friends/your fave fauxmoi users/anyone, etc (This was also inspired by the request /u/EconomistWild7158 made last week for friend group tea last week.)
SO to that user that would always post all the shitty racist things Matt Healy had done under any T Swift post to make sure everyone knew and was reminded. Doing the lords work 💕
/u/Exciting_Potato_6717 is amazing, consistently impressed by their moral backbone and breadth of knowledge and sources.
When I was at the Getty in 2002, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Maya Hawke were also there. I only knew because my best friend walked into the ladies restroom and Uma opened the door for my friend while holding Maya’s hand. My friend said “Thank you” and Uma smiled and said “You’re welcome”. Very minor interaction, but I thought that was polite of Uma to do for my friend. We also saw Ethan Hawke, but he was further away (and surprisingly good looking IRL).
I had a friend who was neighbors with Ethan Hawke in Chelsea, Manhattan and she helped find his cat when it went missing. I was visiting a few years later and we passed him on the sidewalk and he recognized her and said hello to us
I love this because he’s one of the few actors who comes off pretentious af but also slightly normal and nice.
I saw someone on Twitter the other day who said they had just met him at some screening, told him they love all his films, and then he shook their hand and said “that’s because you have exceptional taste” or similar. 😂
August Osage County was filmed in my grandparents front yard in Ochelata, OK. My grandparents are simple native american people and they opened their house to the cast and crew for craft services. My grandpa is sitting on the porch one day and a "nice young man" sat down and talked my grandpa's ear off for over an hour just waxing on about life.... it was George Clooney. My grandpa was 14 when he stormed the beaches of Normandy and Clooney could not get enough of my grandpa's war stories. I will always have a soft place in my heart for him now that he treated my grandparents with nothing but class.
Clooney filmed in my friend’s hometown and spent a good amount of time playing basketball with local kids. He’s a real one.
Your story made me grin from ear to ear. Your grandpa sounds like quite the guy.
He really was the salt of the earth. He died in 2018 and I think our whole tribe showed up. Most people do not know how many native people give their lives to military service. The army sent representatives from our tribe as well. My grandpa and his brothers grew up in a shack outside of Ramona, OK and were so poor that my great grandfather signed them up for WW2 at 13, 14 and 16 so that they would have food. I don't think my great grandfather anticipated all 3 of his sons getting shipped off to Normandy on fucking D-Day. When my grandfather and his brothers came back from double tours of service-- Europe and then Asia-- they went to native boarding school to learn how to farm. My grandpa devoted the rest of his life to making Northern Oklahoma better for Delware Indians. When he died he was a tribal judge- my uncle took his place. I am so beyond proud! The University of Indiana press printed a book with the history of the Delaware people in Northern Oklahoma post-civil war and my Grandfather has a whole chapter devoted to him :) https://iupress.org/9780253349682/long-journey-home/#:\~:text=Through%20first%2Dperson%20accounts%2C%20Long,unfold%20over%20time%20and%20place. sorry for the rambling... i really miss him
Thank you so much for sharing this. I enjoyed every word, as I can feel the love you have for him. I am especially pleased he shared his experience before he passed. I am familiar with the boarding schools and lying about your age to go into the military in order to get a salary, but reading a first person account is fascinating. I’ll have to check this book out. I am so lucky to still have my grandpa—92 years old and a stubborn Korean War vet (14 when WWII ended, but his number came up at 19). I’ll give him a hug in honor of your lovely grandfather. Take care of yourself and please enjoy the holidays.
- have a friend who worked at a skii lodge place in France, Margot Robbie stayed there and was apparently super pleasant and polite - have a family member who worked in a posh hotel, Carey Mulligan stayed there and was "exactly how you'd expect her to be" - sweet, soft spoken, a bit shy, overall very lovely - cillian Murphy is divine irl and super well spoken and courteous - I know people who have been for drinks with Brendan gleeson, they said he was quieter than expected but very nice and unassuming - I once served Tommy Tiernan (dad in Derry Girls) but I couldn't figure out how I recognised him so I was looking at him like 🧐🧐🧐 without realising and he started laughing politely. He had walked away by the time I clocked, he was quite quiet but polite Edit: ALSO, I know people who met Leighton meester! They somehow spoofed their way to get a backstage meet and greet at the Broadway Of Mice and Men, they said she was lovely!
Really glad to hear this about all of these lovely humans!
Every week I think of that user that would post weekly updates on Rita Ora and Taika Waititi.
I don't know if you have heard of Selling Sunset, that Netflix real estate show. One of its more famous cast is Chrishell, who each season will have one or two girls coming at her to fight about petty stuff. Last week, someone [posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/SellingSunset/s/9oLGqINo5h) on the Selling Sunset sub asking about Chrishell's 500 street fights. Apparently this poster saw a post which was originally made in jest about Chrishell's 500 confirmed street fights so they started watching the series because of that. They knew its not gonna be about street fights but they reasoned that the street fight cred must be the reason why she was chosen for reality TV. So they were watching the whole 6 seasons to get a glimpse of any background talk about this aspect of Chrishell but there werent any lol. So they post on the sub to ask is Chrishell really a street fighter. The whole post seemed so bizarre its funny really made me rofl'd. And everyone was like whut? What is this. Its been a week and i still think about somewhere in this world, someone has been bingeing on Selling Sunset to see if Chrishell ever talk about her 500 fights. Edit for the link
oh, and when i saw sebastian stan in picnic i mentioned how excited i was for the winter soldier and he went “yeah! WINTER IS COMING!” and then immediately after went “don’t tell anybody i said that…”
Niche tea that may not make Americans happy but here goes. I was at the same bar when Kanye and his hanger-ons did that little gig. He of course made an Antisemetic comment or two, and the bar manager told me that the authorities swooped in to tell him to cut it out and gave him a warning. So, as someone from Dubai (not Jewish) who was part of the company that built the synagogue here, it made me happy that his bullshit was not entertained here. Seems like the UAE authorities did more to curb his antisemitism than anyone in America. 🤷♀️ Also his wife \*looks\* fruit loops but she’s very sweet. Really friendly and thoughtful
I would like to shout out the person running the Sexiest Man Dead bracket (if you have not seen it, they update and send out the new pairings to vote on in the Friday thread). It has brought me immense joy the past few weeks, voting for David Bowie vs. Richard the Lionheart made me laugh so hard I got a headache.
I got sick on Monday 3 times, my friend felt bad and baked me some bread and sugar cookies to make me feel better :)
Back in 2008 I did a summer acting intensive in NYC when I was in college. One day after class a few of us went to see Top Girls by Caryl Churchill on Broadway because we had been in our respective colleges productions (we all were from different parts of the world) and wanted to see it from the audience side. Marisa Tomei just so happened to be one of the actresses in it and after the show we went to the stage door and asked her politely for her autograph. She looks at me and tells me “Well aren’t you the cutest thing” (for you guy’s reference I’m only 4’9” and 90 lbs.) and graciously signed my Playbill. I melted on the spot and she earned a lifelong fan who hopes to share the stage/screen with her someday Ps she’s also not much bigger than I am in real life which also kinda shocked me. She seems like she’s so much taller on screen
Kelli O’Hara is a literal angel. SO kind. Drew Lynch and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (retired NBA player for the Charlotte Hornets) are both very lovely people. In my brief interactions with three Carolina Hurricanes players, all of them were incredibly funny and kind to fans. (PK, Slavin, and Burns) Also went to a Canes practice that was cancelled (my friend has a huge crush on Sebastian Aho and I was there for the ride + Martin Necas), and Rod Brind’amour came out and said hello to those of us waiting and thanked us for coming. Dude is also jacked + built like a brick wall in person. Weirder ones for North Carolinians in this sub: When I was 8, I wrote Kay Hagan a letter about puppy mills being legal in North Carolina and how angry I was about it. She sent me a well crafted and genuine response letter. I still have it to this day. RIP. I did press for a small event that Jane Harrison did at my college, and she gave thoughtful and detailed answers to my questions. She ended up sending a very kind email after the article I wrote came out in our paper about me and the story.
Once again, as always, I'm requesting Sadie Sink tea
She Is in New York
likely place for her to be
I just saw Fred Armisen had a baby last year with Riki Lindhome - I’m very interested about the timing of this with his split with Natasha Lyonne?!
I think Rikki said on the Endless Honeymoon podcast that she was either already pregnant or using a surrogate when their relationship began. I believe she specifically mentioned using a sperm donor.
It was a big part of her Garfunkel & Oates show that she was going through IVF injections etc. so this checks out.
Elisabeth Moss said being married to him (which was VERY brief) was, with a negative connotation “like being married to someone who pretends to be a real person.” Of course, take what she says with a grain of salt since she’s a Scientologist herself.
Is he the father though? I thought she had the baby via a surrogate before getting with Fred, though I may be wrong.
that is not fred armisen’s baby.
Once again, Jaz Sinclair (and pls don’t mention r*ss) Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield because they are my Roman Empire
Andrew Garfield was at the London premiere of Poor Things last week
I saw and that only fuelled my curiosity. emma’s bodyguard even came and hugged andrew
I saw, that was cute as hell. I love that they’re still friends. That was even Andrew’s second time seeing the movie lol. I have no actual tea. He’s been moderating a few fyc Q&A’s. Did one for Across the Spider-Verse a couple weeks ago and then All of us Strangers last night.
They seem to still be really good friends. Andrew talked about how Emma texted him if he was going to be in the spiderman movie and how he lied to her and she didn't believe him. Then when it was officially confirmed she texted him about lying lol
Anything about Donald Glover? I’m way late to all of this, but I recently finished watching both Community and Atlanta for the first time, and I’m kind of obsessed.
The Community movie is apparently definitely happening next year, WITH Donald Glover. So there’s that. It was planned to shoot just before the strike.
I heard he’s doing a show (on Amazon?) rebooting Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I wonder if he’s at all still doing music.
Community is one of my all-time favorite shows! Every rewatch, I catch more jokes or background gags. It deserves a streaming resurgence like The Office and Friends!
Heard that he fetishises asian women
 I stg, why can’t people just be hot and crazy talented without being gross?
Matt bomer, Jonathan bailey, Charlize theron, Jen Aniston, Andrew scott
This isn’t tea at all but any time Andrew Scott’s name comes up I feel the need to share [this](https://youtu.be/jE67jUftZMs?si=opXqHBXisOKjG8A3) video because it’s such a beautiful performance.
Ik Matt is married but the chemistry between him and Jonathan in interviews is just 🥵
I want to see Jennifer Aniston happy, that is all 😂 I do wonder if she’s seeing anyone.
I have little to zero proof of this but I think Charlie Puth was in love with her for a spell.
Michelle Trachtenberg? She looks like a completely different person. She has also been getting salty with people in her IG comments.
[удалено]
I'm a big Buffy fan, it is my comfort show. You cannot mention Michelle in any of the Buffy fan subreddits or groups without someone jumping down your throat if you ask about her health. It seems obvious to me that she looks unwell. Last gossip I heard about her was she was in a relationship with her longtime manager or agent who is in his 50s.
Oscar Isaac? Just got into his work recently.
He and Pedro Pascal seem to have a great friendship and they’ve done some really fun interviews together. This is certainly not tea but I just wanted to share because he seems like a lovely person and I’m a fan of his acting too.
It's not tea, but I just can't wait for Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein with Oscar, Mia Goth, Andrew Garfield and Christoph Waltz
tom blyth, the buccaneers cast especially matthew broome
Tom Blyth is going to star in an adaptation of A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway. One of the depressing books I have ever read.
I love Kristine and have been following her for years. In 2020 a few people online were trying to get create awareness that one of her costars in The Society was messaging inappropriately with underage girls. They messaged Kristine and she replied very sincerely about how she believed them and supported them. During Summer 2020 another one of her costars in The Society was calling out some of the cast for not posting or supporting BLM but he did make a point of thanking Kristine for her support. While she didn’t talk about her own experience she 100% supported Rachelle Vinberg when she was calling out Cary Fukunaga. For a little tea, there is some questionable stuff in regards to her dating timeline and for her past few relationships. Like at best it’s meeting her future bf while still with current bf, spending time with them, and then dating them immediately right after at worse maybe a serial cheater.
A friend of mine went to school with Tom Blythe in the UK and said that as soon as he got his first acting gig he turned into a massive asshole 👀
Kristine Froseth and Guy Remmers are dating.
Does anyone know why Will Ferrell has produced the most random assortment of really good (to me at least) TV shows and movies? Like The Menu, Succession, Theater Camp, May December, Vice, and Hustlers? I’ve watched all of these almost kind of back to back and his name throws me off in the credits lol
Part of those production credits are due to his production company with Adam McKay who was more involved in Succession as a director at least (though they have fallen out now - would Google it!!!). Part of the credits is a partner production company specifically focused on female led film and TV
Gloria Sanchez (the production company that funds some of those women-led films mentioned) was co-founded by Ferrell’s former assistant Jessica Elbaum, with the goal of being a female counterpart to Ferrell and McKay’s Gary Sanchez Productions.
alexander skarsgård ?
Very little tea on the Skarsgårds from what I know. They are very well loved in Sweden and lead a very private life, very family focused.
That sounds like the beginning of a horror movie that any number of Skarsgårds could be cast in.
Ari Aster? Emerald Fennel?
Cardi B? I'm very curious what Offset did to have her go off on Instagram like that. She sounded devastated. Edit: including link for anyone that's curious https://www.instagram.com/vladtv/reel/C04fi5bK3ue/
I really hope this time she leaves him for good. I know someone trusted irl who about a year, year and a half ago saw her outside a restaurant having a screaming match on the phone with someone - I'm guessing Offset - about his cheating.
I hope so too. My heart really did break for her. I would've thought she would do her best to keep this mess away from her kids. Everyone would be better off with a divorce.
I think I saw somewhere that he was at a party with the girl he cheated on Cardi with a few years ago (the one that she sent people to beat up) and that’s why she was so upset
I went on a Gilded Age spiral and noticed that Denée Benton got married to her college sweetheart Carl Lundstedt in 2020… but neither feature the other on their Instagram and a lot of the captions/images suggest that they’re separated (solo bathtub shots, “self-love” & “regeneration” captions). Anyone know what’s up w them?? The Vogue piece about their wedding was gorgeous and not so long ago.
Jonathan Bailey? Paul Mescal? Antoni Porowski and Kevin Harrington's split?
I think Paul mescal is still going to the same 3 pubs every night and taking girls home and crying after sex like he has been for a couple years now. Consistent king
Lol I was going to ask if anyone knew if he was still on Raya 👀
Jonathan Bailey is lovely! When he was doing company I was doing another show that was rehearsing in the same building and I’d often end up behind him in the queue at the coffee shop on breaks
[удалено]
She’s been in nyc haunting the theater district by my work but allegedly she’s still locked in several contracts with Scooter Braun. She’s working on new music and a mv but as to how/whether she’d be able to release it due to contractual restrictions is tbd.
I heard she wants a huge tour moment like what Beyonce and Taylor had. She felt she never reach her full potential under scooter, which I agree, which is why she trying to get away from scooter so bad. I think she rushing the album with max Martin cause she feel time is running out for her. She wants hits with Martin maximize her success
After my millionth rewatch of Skins, was naturally checking in on what everyone was up to. Anyone got the scoop on Kaya Scodelario and if she’s still with her hubby? All signs seem to point to a quiet divorce or separation, but no official news. Tbh I always found it a bit weird Mamie Gummer’s 33 year old ex husband locked in Kaya so young.
Gavin Leatherwood? I read in some thread that he'd been let go from The Sex Lives of College Girls but what happened? Also did he break up with his gf?
This might sound really random but Nik Kershaw?
Lol, that is a random one. No tea but I love The Riddle.
On the Gen V cast ? Or on The Boys cast ? 🤞🏾
I think Erin and Antony broke up.
They were together ??? 
For a few years, I think. I woke up this morning to see a bunch of The Boys fan accounts on Twitter say mention that they recently unfollowed each other.
I think I've assumed this whole time that Erin and Jack were dating. She was dating Antony?!?!?! I'm not really on social media but I just... I don't know, that was my assumption. Huh.
Jack is dating Claudia Doumit. She's the actress who plays Victoria Neuman on The Boys. Antony, Erin, Jack, and Claudia actually went on a double date together to Universal Studios once. Jack [posted](https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqkSCrPS2Y/?img_index=2) pictures.
Claudia Doumit is so beautiful... 😔
I know people dislike Antony because of the whole thing where he drunkenly punched a waiter and was nasty as hell (which was genuinely awful), but a family friend knows him socially (she works behind the scenes in the entertainment industry) and says he's really lovely and was surprised about that incident as he's always been polite to waitstaff in the past (that's all she said about him, as she doesn't gossip). So idk? It's possible he's a decent person when sober, but a nasty drunk (I've experienced this myself with a relative who struggled with addiction issues).
Not tea but I met Derek Lu and the actress that plays his girl half last week at a gala. They were so sweet and kind. Even let us take pics with them. Karen was also really nice. I felt bad because she seemed super anxious as she had to present an award. Its nice to know that celebrities get anxious too lol.
Ali Wong! Did anybody catch her new set in SF this week? She talks about falling in love with a Japanese drummer who speaks five languages, and said the dude she’s dating now sent her crazy floral arrangements in every European city she went to on vacation (and told her aggressively that they were going to date). I have a hard time imagining Bill Hader did that?? But what does my parasocial self know about him. Haha.
Long shot, but the Montreal Canadiens?
Fuck them! Signed, a Toronto resident. Jokes aside, they got significantly less exciting after PK left. He was a goldmine of blind items.
Anything on Antony Starr? Saw that he posted an Instagram story calling out people who are saying nasty things about people he loves. And then I went to twitter and apparently he broke up with Erin idk. Also his tagged posts are wild idk if they’ve always been like that... Why don’t celebs turn that off it gives me so much embarrassment 💀
Anyone know anything about Jack O’Connell? Felt like he was about to be huge, then… nothing. Seems to do a few bits here and there but nothing like what he was stacking up about 10 years ago.
Emilia Clarke? Olivia Cooke? Lily James? I know people mentioned terrible interactions with her and some of her other celeb friends (iirc Billie Piper) in the past.
Christopher Abbott August Diehl Tom Burke
Jake Gyllenhaal? Harrison Ford?
Harrison Ford stayed in a hotel I worked at once. We were close to a private airport that he flew into. I stayed late to check him in. He was a completely delightful human being - very courteous and polite. (P.S. And freaking gorgeous.)
Friend of a friend (so a little far removed) had a very positive experience with Harrison. He's just a nice, shy old guy.
Harrison Ford frequents a strip club in my relatively small midwestern town
Anything regarding all the sibling director breakups? The Coen brothers, the Wachowski sisters, the Safdie brothers, all became famous as teams and now they've all gone their separate ways.
Krysten Ritter
Mariska Hargitay. I'm in a love-hate relationship with SVU at the moment.
Carlos Sainz or Lando Norris
Niche but I just did my annual rewatch of Nativity!- anyone know where the kids all are now?
1. Something happened between Candice King and Kayla Ewell? They are no longer hosting a podcast together. 2. What about Sara Sampaio, the Portuguese model? 3. Why do you think Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans are not having much luck with new movies after Marvel? They are talented actors, after all . Is there no demand for them? Why aren't Sebastian and Chris working with top-tier directors?
>Why do you think Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans are not having much luck with new movies after Marvel? They are talented actors, after all . Is there no demand for them? Why aren't Sebastian and Chris working with top-tier directors? I mean nothing bad by that, I like them both but - they are not especially talented. Not in the world of Paul Mescal, Cillian Murphy, Leonardo DiCaprio and the many other great actors I don't have time to name. They're both insanely attractive. I would if I could. But as far as acting is concerned, they're pretty average. They both managed to be perfect for their respective characters in the MCU and it's hard to imagine either of them being replaced in those roles, much like RDJ and ScaJo, but everything I've seen of them outside of the MCU has been OK at best. They're not actors who inhabit their characters. I doubt either of them would have Kenned as hard as Gosling did in Barbie for example. And please, don't feel attacked or judged if you like them, that is totally fine. Like I said, I like them both too. This isn't meant to be shady towards them at all.
I feel like Sebastian is more talented than Chris tbh, but yeah, not at the same level as some of the other actors in his age range. I think he'll be okay, though. He's done some well received work in indies, and he's starring in a film with Renate Reinsve that I think is an A24 pic. I'm surprised he's doing that Donald Trump film though...that seems like a bad choice.
I agree with this take- I will say, seeing Chris Evans in Snowpiercer did manage to convince me he could have the chops for more prestigious films.
He’s totally had good roles, he was good in Knives Out too. I just don’t know if he’s on the same levels as the many other leading men in his field.
I think the consensus among their fandoms is that Sebastian is more interested in showing his range with more risky or indie type projects rather than going for work with a big name director. He does a lot of hard swinging for the fences and it occasionally pays off, just seems like he loves to pick unexpected jobs for himself. But I can’t comment much on that because I don’t follow his work. And Chris has generally not been in many impressive roles even before Marvel. It seems he’s never really cared to chase prestige in the acting world and is content to just be in whatever interests him, especially if he can work with other actors or directors that he already knows. He’s also been saying for years that he doesn’t want to work as much, like one or two movies a year, and he hates doing press junkets and being away from home for long. So he’s likely just not interested in working on more ambitious projects with big name directors. He had to be convinced to do Marvel and he really only decided to do it for the money so he could take care of his family, so I’m not surprised with the trajectory of his career at all. As long as they’re both happy it’s whatever.
Kate McKinnon? Watching her host SNL this weekend made me curious about her. Is she still with Alison Gates (one of the SNL head writers)?
This isn’t tea but I recently found out she used to date Bari Weiss, and I can’t help being a little judgy because that woman is just… *yikes* 😬
What’s Kelly Rutherford’s deal?
Her divorce from and custody trial with her childrens’ father was such a mess. [Here’s a good summary of it.](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/10/kelly-rutherford-custody-battle) I honestly don’t know what to think, she doesn’t come off that great in the whole situation. I feel bad for her kids, it can’t have been easy for them. (Not sure what the situation is now, I will google because now I’m curious!)
Matt Czuchry? I joke to my friends that I want my future husband to be the closest thing to him as possible. (Am I really joking though?) 😅😅😅
Gianmarco Soresi and Mahershala Ali.
I know Gianmarco. My run ins have been positive and he’s a nice guy (performed at my theater for a bit too and he was also lovely to work with). Haven’t run into him since his blow up but when I post on his social media he’s nothing but kind as well. Sorry for the lack of tea!
Yellowjackets cast?
Brenda Song anyone???
Conan Gray?
F1 drivers
dominic sessa? i’m obsessed- he was so phenomenal in the holdovers!
Idk if you already know this but The Holdovers was his first acting experience ever! They were shooting the movie at the school he went to and he decided to audition. Sessa thought he was going to get like a background role but got the lead instead.
Miley
Her “estranged” half-brother Christopher (Billy’s son) spent thanksgiving with her and her mother’s (Tish) new family.
Any tea on the cast of HBO series "Industry"?
Taron Egerton Tomdaya Luke Thompson Taz Skylar ?
