There’s a mix of troubling and hopeful news in the latest buzz: “The child of the illiterate talk show host is once again taking money from her,” referring to Wendy Williams and her son, Kevin Hunter Jr. It’s really disheartening to hear about Wendy’s ongoing financial issues, especially since this kind of news seems to pop up regularly. But on the bright side, it’s nice to get some updates about her, especially since she’s been pretty quiet since her documentary came out.
One commenter shared, “I’d rather her own son take money from her than her ex or anyone else around her.” Another added, “He probably never stopped taking from her.” It’s a bit strange to see Kevin throwing a big party when there’s been no recent news about his mom, especially since he’s been evicted from his apartment. You’d think he might save up to make next year’s celebration even better.
The party is set for August 18th, just two days after Kevin’s actual birthday. He was spotted hanging out at the Magic City strip club and even promoted the event on Instagram. Some comments on his post included, “Where’s your mom?” and “Wow, this is what he’s doing with his mom’s money.” Another comment read, “Poor Wendy.” It seems like Kevin isn’t showing much remorse, and people are eagerly waiting for more news about Wendy.
Reports suggest that Kevin might have spent around $100,000, which puts things into perspective. Wendy’s birthday party for Kevin that year cost $120,000, his rent was $80,000, and even his Uber Eats bill might have topped $100,000—all covered by Wendy.
Have you ever taken money from your mom’s account without asking?
On a more positive note, there’s some good news: “Upbeat Wendy Williams Spotted for the First Time in Over a Year in New Jersey.” Wendy was recently seen at a holistic store in New Jersey, where an employee told Page Six she looked sharp, aware, and very cheerful. It’s great to hear that Wendy seems to be getting back to her old self.
An employee mentioned that Wendy seemed engaged but wasn’t fully up-to-date on recent events—her son has been filling her in. Wendy talked about working on her circulation but didn’t go into specifics about her health. We also found out she was recently spotted at Dr. Se’s son’s holistic store in New Jersey.
You might remember the “Where Is Wendy Williams” documentary, where Kevin Jr. said Wendy was trying out different diets and health strategies while he was taking care of her. With her recent dementia diagnosis, it’s interesting to see how her guardianship is being handled and how often her family can visit her. She looked great, though, and we’re hopeful that her holistic approach will pay off.
This sighting is significant because it’s the first time we’ve seen Wendy since March 2023. It’s reassuring to know she’s doing well.
On another note, there’s some buzz about Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter. There’s chatter that Barry might be using his relationship with Sabrina to impress other women. Apparently, he’s been dropping lines like, “Want to hang out with me and my girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter?” It’s not too surprising. One person commented, “Dooy says she broke up with him,” and another added, “Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter—hope she’s happy with whatever’s happening in their relationship.”
We previously mentioned that Sabrina ended things with Barry because of his wild partying. Despite their connection—Barry was really supportive at Coachella—relationships that start in such intense environments can often fizzle out. It’s like a whirlwind that dies down when reality sets in.
Rumor has it that Sabrina and Barry split about three weeks ago, with Sabrina focusing on her tour. Barry’s obsession with NTI was reportedly a deal breaker for her, and his partying lifestyle may have been the last straw. Now, Sabrina’s prioritizing her music career and gearing up for her tour next month.
Fans noticed some tension last month when they saw hints in Sabrina’s new music video featuring Barry. Despite the song being about him, it doesn’t seem to paint him in the best light. The lyrics come off as a bit of a dig, portraying Barry as a troublemaker who might embarrass Sabrina. The song’s short length and tone seem to reflect some frustration.
There’s also speculation about whether their relationship was real or just a PR stunt, especially with the timing of their breakup and Sabrina’s album release. Barry’s role in the music video suggests there might have been some mutual benefit to their relationship. It seems they may have split around April or May, and Sabrina’s recent tracks with pointed lyrics could be a reflection of that.
Lastly, there’s talk about Ice Spice using Ozempic for weight loss, particularly since she hasn’t been hitting the gym. This isn’t surprising given how many celebrities are reportedly using it. While it’s fine if it helps people stay healthy, as long as there’s enough for those who need it for diabetes, it highlights how celebrities are increasingly turning to medical aids for weight management.
Lately, there’s been a lot of chatter about whether you can only get slim through working out or using Ozempic. Some people are even saying things like, “At her age, really?” Ice Spice has been responding to speculation about her weight loss, especially around the possible use of Ozempic. The Bronx rapper is on a mission to slim down and grow her fan base.
Sources close to Ice Spice say she’s making a big shift from being known just as a female rapper to aiming for pop star status. Her team thinks she needs a dramatic change to compete with rising stars like Tyler. So, she’s overhauled her diet and started using Ozempic in smaller doses. The results are pretty noticeable.
But will losing weight actually help her attract more fans? Some people think her original look had more charm. Ice Spice seems pretty fed up with all the talk, saying, “I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic.” It’s clear she’s tired of the constant comments.
She added, “You lazy B-word, never heard of a gym? It’s called the gym. It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour.” Despite this, her tour doesn’t involve super intense dancing, so she’s not burning tons of calories.
Switching gears, Chapel Rone is dealing with her own set of issues. The church singer is struggling to keep up with her hectic schedule and really needs a break, but it seems like nobody is giving her one. Fans are worried, with one saying, “Chapel Rone, I hope she gets a break soon. It’s crazy to expect celebrities to constantly put out content.”
Another fan pointed out, “She went from 1 million to 40 million Spotify listeners in just two weeks. I’d be overwhelmed too.” Rapid success can definitely be overwhelming.
Chapel Rone has even spoken out about some intrusive fan behavior in a recent video. She’s now refusing to take selfies and wants to make it clear that fame doesn’t mean she’s okay with being harassed. She’s talked about how fame impacts mental health and the need to respect personal boundaries.
In a surprising twist, there’s buzz that a major YouTube star might be involved in child labor through chocolate production. The “Let’s Get Into It” podcast has exposed some dark aspects of the chocolate industry, revealing how some companies ignore child labor by working with exploitative farms. Now, there’s speculation that MrBeast’s Feastival might be tied to these practices, which is a huge hit to his charitable image. Even though he claims his operation is child-labor-free, recent updates on their website suggest otherwise. It’s really upsetting to think about what might be happening behind the scenes and serves as a reminder to push for ethical practices everywhere.
Meanwhile, there’s some celebrity drama involving a private encounter with a famous rapper while kids were around. This might explain why Kim Kardashian is cautious about Kanye West being around their children. Recently, Kanye and Bianca took a family trip to South Korea, where they were seen at the airport with Kanye’s kids. Bianca opted for a more modest outfit, and Kanye’s daughter Chicago, 6, was seen in her arms, while North, 11, and Psalm, 5, walked alongside them. Their 8-year-old brother, Saint, wasn’t spotted with them.
There’s also some Hollywood drama between Jane Fonda and Sydney Sweeney. Jane, a legendary actress, reportedly wants to block a remake of one of her classic films because she doesn’t want Sydney Sweeney in the role. Jane feels that some classics should stay untouched and isn’t impressed with Sweeney’s casting. The film in question might be “Barbarella,” a role Jane originally made famous. Despite Jane’s objections, Sweeney has strong support from industry figures like Edgar Wright and Jane Goldman and is set to produce the project. Sweeney is excited about the role and the chance to explore sci-fi, finding “Barbarella” a fascinating character who uses her femininity and sexuality in a unique way.
Lastly, the situation with Nick Carter and Melissa Schuman is quite complicated. Nick Carter, known from his boy band days, is confident that witnesses will back his side of the story. Personally, I have strong feelings about Carter, and if you tell me anything negative about him, I might just believe it based on what I’ve heard. But that’s just my take—don’t take it as gospel. Recently, Carter is suing Schuman for $2.5 million. Schuman claims that back in 2003, after filming “The Hollow,” she was pressured by producers and executives into a situation with Carter, who allegedly drugged and assaulted her. At the time, she was 18 and he was 22. Carter denies these allegations and says they’re false.
Melissa has shared a clip where she describes her experience, saying, “I kept saying I didn’t want to have sex because I was saving myself for marriage. He kept pushing, saying things like ‘I could be your husband,’ which was really unsettling. Then I felt something inside me that I didn’t see. When I asked him what it was, he said, ‘It’s all me, baby.’ I felt like I was in a nightmare.”
Carter seems to think Schuman’s claims are just a money grab, but considering she’s been pursuing this for over 20 years, it’s hard not to question his perspective. Schuman has struggled to get support, which suggests there might be a troubling pattern. Even Aaron Carter, Nick’s brother, made similar accusations, raising concerns about a possible history of exploiting vulnerable people.
That’s all for this week’s breakdown. What are your thoughts? I really appreciate your support and enjoy our chats.
