A reminder: our new Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul, has been accused of domestic violence. Y’all opened a can of worms, ABC.

Nina Dobrev has revealed that she was paid less than her Vampire Diaries co-stars, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, despite playing multiple characters and being THE STAR OF THE SHOW. 

Former BBC MasterChef host Gregg Wallace is suing the network over his firing after being accused by more than 60 people of “sexually inappropriate comments toward them from 2005 to 2022” and “inappropriate sexual behavior including groping and touching.” Good luck with that.

Olivia Cooke notes that women are still being labeled as “difficult” when they set up boundaries during sex scenes, even in the age of intimacy coordinators.
