One pair of Real Housewives sisters reconcile, while another pair never will.
This Walking Dead/Beef mashup is kind of hilarious:

General Hospital‘s Haley Pullos was arrested for a DUI last month after a horrific-sounding head-on collision. I hope everyone involved is OK.
#MeToo
Obviously, I’m going to lead with the Rudy Giuliani news:
Really lurid sexual harassament/assault allegaitons against Rudy Giuliani by is former employee Noelle Dunphy. She says she recorded many (and really, there are many) of the vulgar remarks. https://t.co/JCtsMAQLDm
— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) May 15, 2023
Depending on how strong your stomach is, I suggest you read the lawsuit for yourself, because WOW. The long and short of it is, Rudy hired this woman, refused to pay her because of his “divorce,” and raped her repeatedly over the course of two years. Some “highlights”:
He often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speaker phone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump. Giuliani told Ms. Dunphy that he enjoyed engaging in this conduct while on the telephone because it made him “feel like Bill Clinton.”
Giuliani often demanded that she work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her. When they were apart, they would often work remotely via videoconference, and during those conferences Giuliani almost always asked her to remove her clothes on camera. He often called from his bed, where he was visibly touching himself under a white sheet.
On March 4, 2019, Giuliani expressed a fantasy to Dunphy in which they had sex in the lobby of a hotel room, and he told the doorman: “I need time alone with my girlfriend, with my daughter. With my little girl.” Per the suit, “This became part of a pattern in which Giuliani referenced Ms. Dunphy as his ‘daughter’ in the context of sexual activity and made her extremely uncomfortable.” On another occasion, Giuliani told Dunphy, “while engaging in sexual contact” with her, “I think of you as my daughter. Is that weird?”
~shudder~ And this is just the tip of the grossberg.
But also, she has tapes of him saying all sorts of terrible and self-incriminating things? And he also handed over his entire email account to her? And he admitted that he and President Conman were running a pardons for money scheme? And that they schemed to steal the election? IT’S A LOT. It’s a whole lot. Special Counsel Jack Smith, you paying attention?
Wait, Former President Rapist behaved inappropriately with women while he was in the White House? WHAT?
Country singer Jimmie Allen is being sued by his former manager for sexual assault and sexual abuse. Allen has been suspended by his label and dropped from the lineup of the CMA Festival. His collaboration with ice cream maker The Frozen Farmer has also been dropped. Allen denies the allegations and claims that the relationship was consensual.
A jury now has Danny Masterson’s rape case.
Hadley Gamble, the CNBC anchor who was involved in the ouster of NBCU CEO Jeff Shell, is leaving the network.
Katie Couric had some thoughts about Shell’s behavior:
“Clearly someone in a position of power cannot be involved in a sexual relationship with someone whose fate depends on said person,” Couric said, speaking on Kelly Ripa’s podcast with SiriusXM, “Let’s Talk Off Camera.” “And so that’s why I was just so shocked that Jeff Shell would do this. And what is it? Is it kind of the power dynamic? Are they so surrounded with yes people, they think the rules don’t apply to them?
“It just amazes me that a powerful executive like that would be so dumb, just be so stupid and reckless. I think reckless is the word. You can see how it happens, but I think you have to be smart and disciplined and know that unless you tell your supervisor, and unless you’re not a direct report, that having a relationship with a colleague isn’t cool.”
A court has gutted most of Marilyn Manson’s defamation case against Evan Rachel Wood. (Good.)
The TikTok has only now discovered that Howard Stern was offensive and gross and belittling towards his female guests. Yes, children, that’s why he was known as a “shock jock.”
