Sierra Miller. So we're taping this Monday, 11:57am it is, it is. It is. I would call it Summer House Reunion Eve. This Amanda Batula Sierra Miller, West Wilson story, Kyle Cook as well where it is not as juicy as the Tom scandal because ah, I guess there's cheating or something. I, it is my opinion that I feel that there all these people are in on it somehow and knows that's what kind of bakes the bread because here and, and everyone's making money. Page six included. Sierra Miller completely closes the door on Amanda Batula reconciliation with cutting comment. Now the cutting comment, I'm reading it. I think it might be fro. I mean well now we're going to get, get into the article. I've you kind of see the cutting comment in the preview of the, of, of the, of the reunion. The reunion will have happened by now I'm sure and it's three weeks long. They, they are making a meal out of this. Sierra Miller will never reconcile with Amanda Bula after Summer House co star betrayed her by hooking up with her ex, West Wilson. When asked in a recent interview with People if she and Batula were dunzo, Miller Savagely replied, yeah, for sure. Now to me, Savage replies would involve a pun, a joke, a a cutting remark that would make us think about something else in Amanda's life. Yeah, sure. I don't know if I'm calling that savage. Savage would be like if they were like, oh, are you guys still going to be friends? Is the relationship donezo and she's like as dunzo as her shoes she's were wearing around. Like that would be savage. Are you and are you and Amanda still friends? No, we're dunzo. Like her hairstyle, like that's savage. Just, just say yeah, for sure. That's just, that's not really Savage to me. And she write the article goes on. I couldn't do this to my worst enemy. She added, when you say that to People magazine, I'm kind of like moving away from Sierra. Oh my God. You go, oh, where's we're in your corner. Like you're getting things out of this. There is a tipping point. You can't just be the victim who's winning at the same time forever. There, there is. You can't be the alpha victim. And I don't think the public we're, we're not aware of those people as it goes on. If you're Team Sierra, the only way to be online and be Team Sierra is to be team Sierra no matter what and have. No, no, no, no. You, you, you don't question that at all. You don't say, well, she's also getting on dancing with the stars and you know, she seems to be like when you go to People magazine and say we're done. So I would never do this to my worst enemy. Save it for the reunion. Why are you doing this to People magazine? The former nurse explained that she is excited to put their drama behind her. I don't think she is. After the three part season 10 reunion airs, with the first episode dropping Tuesday, the reunion was the the reunion was quite the day, but we're on to bigger and better and you know, we can say goodbye to certain things, Miller said. Yeah, I don't know why she has to do this. She's almost pumping up the reunion in a way where it's like she knows this is her big moment on tv, which will be annoying to watch her having her monologue and I just would never do such a thing to anyone in my life. And if you want to follow more, you can see my whole journey back from seclusion on Dancing with the Stars this fall. Do you know what I mean? Like, it kind of feels like the model said that the reunion will offer some clarity and then she found the sit down with her cast very cathartic. Yeah, because she got to beat up on everyone. I would have said nothing. I don't think this is a good look for Ciara. It's one of those situations that's unfortunate. But you know, I'm so excited to move on from this. No, are you? You're doing an interview about the reunion and you can't take everyone with you, she said, referring to Betula. It's nice to be able to go into this next chapter of my life and have clarity on who's supposed to be there and who's not. Yeah, I'm not there. I, I to some people, you know, if you live in a world where you like people neatly boxed into things, then your team Sierra, Amanda's the worst human being ever. West is a is a loser. But I think it's like we got to turn down the volume on everyone. Last week a teaser dropped for the upcoming reunion, which Miller, 30, claimed that Petula, 34, only got with Wilson to spite her. I don't understand that's something I'm, I've seen that preview and I'm like, I don't know how that gets to you. Why I don't understand the, the draw of that. That doesn't make sense. We have to believe it because it's coming from Sierra who, quote, victim in this situation. She added, he wants to embarrass me. He wants to get his last little word. And I hope it works because he's with you to spite me. I saw this same clip and I'm like, it doesn't really make sense unless we get the larger context, which no one's going to wait for. But I, I'm sure the episode will give us more context that, because that even that line, like he wants to get the last word, he hasn't said anything. He's been a nothing throughout this whole thing.

Martin Scorsese's daughter Francesca, 26, hits back at cruel trolls ripping her looks after landing new TV role. So Martin Scorsese's daughter, her being 26 is already crazy enough. She has gotten, like, a big online following for being like, the Nepo baby who gets it. Which, like, I guess, like, getting it would be like, I'm gonna be a lawyer. I don't think going and becoming a actress is getting it. Actress is like, oh, I get to have an agent because Martin Scorsese is my dad. And yeah, but I get that it's easy for me as you have it easy, like, so I, I, I understand. And here's the thing. Let's live in a world where Martin Scorsese's daughter, who is probably very nice and seems cool enough to even get it a little bit, also has access to Martin Scorsese's PR team that he has on staff. He has PR on staff. Martin Scorsese has his own pr, which works closely with a place like Page Six. So how does Martin Scorsese's daughter Francesca gain likability publicly while also getting to be an actress for something she didn't really have to audition for? Hypothetically? Oh, let's make it these Internet trolls. Faceless, nameless trolls who make fun of her looks because she's not like a classic model esque woman. And now we got it. Now we. And that's what the PR agent did. Hey, Page six. Look at all these mean comments, which anyone would get. And I'm not saying she deserves mean comments. She, but she's 26, becoming an actress. She gets all this credibility of being the actress who, you know, the Nepo baby who gets it. And she's waltzing into this role where I'm probably, it's probably a role that anyone would kill for. And now they're like, well, how do we make her less hateable for this? Oh, she has haters too. Martin Scorsese's youngest daughter, Francesca Scorsese. She even kept the last name, but she gets it. Clap back at Internet trolls for making hurtful comments on her looks. Francesca, 26, shared. Shared in a TikTok video Saturday that after she reposted news that she's landed a role on season two of Prime Videos, Mr. And Mrs. Smith, she was subjected to a barrage of hateful comments, which you're gonna get. This is like, and I'm not saying again, like, don't take it as it's right. But why is she releasing this? Why is it being reported in Page Six? It has some, it has some of the worst comments I have ever seen about me. She noted, explaining that while she was used to being criticized over being A Nepo baby again. Nepo baby who gets it. The hate was on a level she had not yet experienced. I understand. I know I have doors open for me. No, no, no, you have all the doors open. Rich and in Hollywood both. She said of Scorsese being her father. Like, I'm still trying to do the work. I'm still going hard and being passionate and creating and doing the work. That is all stuff people say when they don't really have to do much. Did you go to, like, I, I, I consider me not buying it. I'm not. Again, two things can be true. She doesn't deserve hate male. But she also shouldn't say, well, I'm doing the work. I'm passionate. I'm passionate. Yes. So is the girl working at Starbucks that wants to be an actress. She's passionate too. But I think if you go on people's videos and you seek out negativity, you are a very, very sad person. Yes, that's true too, she continued. Francesca repeated some of the cruel comments being said about her, including people calling her fat and ugly and even going as far to compare her to a fridge or call her Miss Piggy. I mean, on the scale of Internet hate, like, I, I'm not saying these are nice things, she writes, she said, I get it. I'm not the most beautiful girl in the world. I'm not the skinniest girl in the whole world. I'm chubby, I know it. But like, what the fuck does it matter? She asked. Yeah, no, they're trying to take you down a notch. You, you know, I, I mean, there's you, you have a billion dollars too. Francesca shared that she had already deleted X because of the negativity and bad comments she was subjected to on social media platform. But now she felt TikTok was becoming the same. She also received a lot of love for the again, for me to know it, 41 loser that she was the Nepo baby people loved. There's so many trolls and so many bots and people just go on to try and ruin somebody's day or make someone feel like shit. That's the kind of thing that causes people to lose their lives. Like your words have power behind them. Well, I would say to her, like, why do you need to be on social media? She probably would say, well, that's what got me the role. And then the argument would be your dad and your name, and you could still get these roles quietly without having a platform. She noted that she dealt with hate for years because of having such A famous dad. And I know I have a huge, you know, figure, my father to live up to. And like, that always overshadows me as a person. Yeah, this all sucks. I don't envy daughter of, you know, of Scorsese, but I also don't know if this is the place to come and ask for our forgiveness for, oh, my God, how will she deal? But come on, guys. I just want TikTok to be a better place like I feel like it used to be. Your 26 used to be. It's always been horrific. You found a lane that worked for you where people were very nice and saw your plight as, you know, Scorsese's daughter. And you kind of have a look that on TikTok, people are always going to clap for you to the very end. And now you're finding that the minute this all became real, now you get the part that that other, you know, the woman that's clapping for you. Wow. She's Scorsese's daughter and she's cool and she calls herself a Nepo baby. Now that same woman, she likes to act too. And now you took her part. In her mind, I don't think you really did, but in her mind, now she's going, well, fuck this. I'm. I like. I want to get the. The part in Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Scorsese, 83, talked about welcome, welcoming Franchesca. Later in life on SiriusXM's the Life of Mine with J recorded. The legendary director shares Franchesco with his wife, Helen Morris. And he has two older daughters, Kathy, 60, and Dominica, 49. So, wow. So he had. He really went late. It was extraordinary. And by that point, I was 56 and was a different perspective on life. My other daughters were younger, we were stronger. You know, this was like some special blessing of some kind. It suddenly changes all the values that I thought was important in life. Yeah, well, you can have that, though. That all seems sincere. I like this story. There's a lot of talk of Taylor Swift. Well, she was at a basketball game. We're going back to Page Six. She was at a basketball game with Travis Kelsey. And so there was a lot of talk about. About him, you know, who's in and out for the wedding. Let's get this one. No, I. I like this one. This is a better one. What do Barbara Streisand and Jacob Elordi have in common? What could they have in common that we not need to know about? What do Barbra Streisand and Jacob Elardi have In common. They both sat out and sat out cans with injuries. Oh, my God. What. What injury keeps you from can. I mean, that is his clickbait. I'm mad. I even clicked on it that they. Oh, my God. What is she gotta. She tore her labrum from pitching. Barbara Streisand got. She. She was pitching too much for the Braves. Jacob Alor. That's a tough name to say. Charlie's Angels star Jacqueline Smith says beauty secret isn't makeup or diet. There should be, in my opinion, like, Jacqueline Smith is one of, like, the most famous hotties of all time. There needs to be. You know, in NFL games, they have this coach who's in charge of keeping people on the sidelines. Like, if a play gets too big, he's like, he's the. He's the. Push it back, coach. Come on, push it back, push it back. We need someone to be hired as the. You shouldn't be saying that. It's another thing. Is the reason for your beauty coach. Like, we need someone who's like, hey, you're too hot to give beauty tips that aren't makeup and diet. Like, if you say, it's the stars and how I align with the ocean. Like, Jacqueline Smith should not be talking about her youthful glow. That is called genetics. We need a remind them of their genetics. Coach Jacqueline Smith is proving age is just a number. I mean, she looks unbelievable. The Charlie Angels legend. Charlie's Angels was Charlie with his three hottie detectives opened up about her youthful glow at 80. She's 80, saying love matters more than makeup. Get out of here. Do not tell me, lifelong supermodel. Do not tell me that you're a supermodel because of love. I won't buy it. We don't want it. Nope. We don't like you for it. You say that to friends and they nod at you and then they talk about you behind your back. Do not say the secret to your hot bod was love. No, it was eating salad. Something has to be worse for you than it is for me. You can't be hot and then eating a bunch of love with your steak and cheese subs while I'm eating a salad, looking like I do. Smith stunned on the red carpet at the Paley Honors spring gala in New York City, where she reunited with former co stars Kate Jackson to celebrate the iconic series 50th anniversary. When asked the TV icon what the beauty secret was behind her flawless look, she replied, clean living, being loved. The beginning of that is some truth. I don't drink. I Don't eat. I only have water. That's how. And I have a guy go down on me once a week. If she had said that we're cool, but don't say being loved. I have the best family in the whole wide world to grow up with. Great husband, two beautiful children, three granddaughters. So it doesn't get better than that. It's all about love. All about family with me. No, we asked what makeup you're using because my grandma's 80 and she doesn't look like you, and she would like to kind of look like you. What is this, a serial commercial? As long as I got love in my life, I'll look like a hottie at 80 that men still whack off to. What? The actress who played Kelly Garrett from 1976 until the series wrapped in 1981. This show was on for five years. She's still dining out on it. Are you kidding me? This is like. This is one of those things where, like, you do start to, you know, feel anger towards the boomers. You could be on a show for five years in the. In the 80s, in the 70s and 80s, and just live a life. Huge house, three kids, grandkids. I'm living with love, totally relaxed. She probably did a couple other movies afterwards, but still, no one's on a series for five years and is thinking, I'm good these days. That's not happening. You're on a series for five years, you're worried about five years later being an Uber driver, and you're worried that Uber will even exist because AI and Waymo is coming. So you're going to be under a bridge doing heroin. So there's a huge mindset difference when they're like, why don't people have babies? Why aren't people falling in love? Hey, why aren't people happier these days? Well, you could be on a series for five years and then just be done. That doesn't happen today. She shared photos from the Pale Honors Gala in New York alongside Jackson, reflecting on the iconic series nearly 50 years later. They're talking about a series 50 years later. This would be like if Euphoria was talking about 50 years from now. No, no, no. That's not going to be happening. She looks unbelievable. She's 80. Like, it's. It's actually crazy. Kate and I were so lucky to attend and accept this on behalf of the Charlie's Angels family, continuing in our celebration of 50 years since the launch of the series. Grateful doesn't begin to encompass how I feel to have Been, been and continue to be a part of the legacy. Wow. Unbelievable. Still dining out on it five years. This wasn't a ten year series. This wasn't mash. They show the three women. I mean, my God, they're all beautiful. Their beauty secret is being born with the right parents. We'll do one more. I don't understand how this is a story again in a. In a world of like I don't know who Aurora Culpo is. I know Olivia Culpo. Aurora Culpa welcomes baby number three. Her first with fiance Zach. Z a c. He's just fiance Zach. The Culpo clan just got bigger. I. I'm familiar. Aurora Culpo gave birth to a baby girl on May 15. Congratulations. Sharing the news via Instagram on Friday, our sweet Celine Culpo captioned sweet, sweet hospital snaps of her third child, her first with fiance Zach. Why don't they give his last name? What is he? Prince? 5, 15, 26. We are so in love. They show them at a football game. They keep calling him Zach. Cute baby. I had scheduled C section of 39 weeks, mostly by choice. It wasn't bad, honestly. The worst part was getting an IV in. The Culpo sisters alum, I think they had a. They had a show together. Is the mother of son Remy and daughter Soleil, whom she shares with ex husband Michael Mikey Bortone. I don't know the. I mean. The former couple separated in January 2022 with couple file filing for divorce from her spouse three months later. They don't get into who Zach. Well, it remains unclear whether the reality star moved on with Zach. Why do they keep Zach, the infamous Zach, as if we should be like, oh, it's Zach. The duo made their romance Instagram official in April 2025. If you had told me a few years ago that I'd be happy, that I'd have happy, well adjusted kids, a peaceful co parenting relationship, a job I genuinely love and a new relationship that feels grounded and hopeful. I would, I would, I would believe you. Well, that's not how that. I would believe you. That's not how that saying goes. Are the Culpos like, I don't even like this phrase, but are they an industry plant? This story doesn't make sense. I don't know who Aurora is. Who the hell is Zach? Laguna beach alum Kristen Cavallari subsequently mentioned message Culpo and revealed she used to date Zach. This guy Zach, he was the love. He was in love with her. She dumped him. My poor boy. The barely filtered podcast host revealed. I mean, this is crazy. I mean, read this. They show Zach. She and Zach went public. Do. Is this one of those situations where they don't have the last name and they're just, like, trying to get by? It's like the way I would talk to someone. Hey, man, what's up, bro? This is my guy. And then I try to, like, oh, have you met my girlfriend Emily? And then hope that she would get the name. Hey, I'm Zach. Yeah, this is Zach. In October 2025, Zach proposed to Copa while on a trip to Paris. I. I can't believe. Do we know nothing About Zach? Wild JTrain podcast at Gmail. Com.
