    Ruth Wilson Left 'The Affair' Because She 'Didn't Feel Safe' on Set

    WENN

    The British actress finally talks about the reason behind her abrupt departure from the Dominic West-fronted TV show, two years after she quit the Showtime series.

    Nov 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ruth Wilson has finally broken her silence about her decision to quit hit TV drama “The Affair”, confessing she has spent a year figuring out how to talk about it.
    The Brit abruptly exited the series without explanation in 2018, amid reports she was unhappy with the nudity required of her and the alleged hostility behind the scenes.
    Promoting her movie “Little Strangers” on “CBS This Morning” in August, 2018, she told Gayle King, “I did want to leave but I’m not allowed to talk about why,” prompting the TV presenter to ask her if it had anything to do with salary issues.
    “I’ve never complained to (network bosses at) Showtime about pay parity,” Wilson said.

    But she told Britain’s Radio Times she was paid less than her co-star Dominic West.
    Now, Ruth tells Stylist, “The reason I haven’t gone into The Affair is that I haven’t worked out how to discuss it. There’s a lot of noise and anger surrounding it, and really the power rests with me to choose how I discuss my life and my experiences.”
    “What’s important to say is that I did speak up. I did have a voice. I did stand up for myself. There was a situation on The Affair where things didn’t feel right, and I dealt with them, and I managed to protect myself.”
    “It was before #MeToo and before Harvey Weinstein (scandal) – and yet my instincts were very clear and strong about what I felt was wrong, about what was going on, and what I didn’t feel safe about.”

    'Teen Mom 2': Briana DeJesus Details 'Super Awkward' Reunion Filming With Kailyn Lowry

    Instagram

    Doubling down on her shade at her ‘Teen Mom 2’ co-star, the MTV personality sarcastically sends ‘lots of love in her dark direction’ following Kailyn’s arrest in a now-deleted Instagram post.

    Nov 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Teen Mom 2” stars filmed season 10 reunion on October 29. Now, cast member Briana DeJesus has shared how things went down during the taping which also featured her frenemy and co-star Kailyn Lowry.
    The two don’t have a good history when it comes to reunion as they got into heated fight during the show’s reunion in 2018 after Briana dated Kailyn’s ex-husband and baby daddy Javi Marroquin. Of this season’s reunion, Briana revealed to CELEBUZZ, “The reunion was super awkward in general, especially during the last segment, which was when we were brought out all together (virtually, of course).”
    She went on to say, “This was obviously the first time Kail and I had appeared on camera together since our infamous ‘reunion fight’-which, by the way, occurred YEARS ago and (to me, at least) is LONG in the past.”
    Briana also claimed that reunion host Dr. Drew asked Kail about how it was to see her on camera, and “in true Kail fashion, she was exceptionally cold and said she didn’t care to comment.” She continued, “I’ve been clear in the past that I’m over the drama from years past. So I decided to pipe in to comment. I told Kail that it wasn’t that serious, I was happy to see her, and wished her nothing but the best going forward. At that point, Kail still refused to comment and didn’t say anything.”

    In the interview, Briana also threw a subtle shade at Kailyn over her arrest. “It’s clear she still has a grudge against me…which, given the news of her arrest yesterday, one would think she’d have better things to worry about like dealing with the courts for allegedly beating her baby daddy instead of me,” Briana said. “But, Kail will be Kail and there’s no changing that- and, frankly, I don’t care to. I kept it classy and she kept it exactly what would be expected. She’s immature and shows no growth. It’s sad.”
    Doubling down on the diss, Briana wrote in a now-deleted post on Instagram. “While one would think Kail would be more concerned with her foot pics on Only Fans, we had an encounter at the reunion yester and it’s safe to say s**t got awkward. She is immature, has not grown, and is still so hot and bothered by my presence it’s laughable.”
    She added, “I’ll continue living life in my own lane with a man who LOVES me and makes me HAPPY (and doesn’t lay his hands on me),” before sarcastically concluding the message by “sending lots of love in her dark direction.”
    It was previously reported that Kailyn was arrested on September 26 after her ex Chris Lopez accused the MTV star of “attacking” and “punching” him during an alleged dispute in the same month which was started after he cut their son Lux’s hair without her consent. In court documents, Chris accused Kailyn of striking him “several times with a closed fist,” adding that she “started attacking him [and] punching him several time[s] on the head and upper torso because she did not want the child[‘s] haircut.”
    Chris claimed that he “did not fight back” during the physical altercation. It was also said that his sister was the one who “attempted to pull Kailyn off.”

    'The Walking Dead': Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Wife Hilarie Burton Cast as His Onscreen Wife

    WENN/FayesVision

    In Robert Kirkman’s ‘The Walking Dead’ comics, Morgan’s character Negan was married to a woman named Lucille, whom he was cheating on, before she died from a cancer prior to the zombie apocalypse.

    Nov 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – An upcoming bonus episode of “The Walking Dead” season 10 will be a family affair for star Jeffrey Dean Morgan. In one of the bonus episodes of the season, the Negan depicter will be joined by his real-life wife Hilarie Burton, according to Entertainment Weekly.
    It has been reported that Burton will appear as a guest star, playing Negan’s late wife Lucille. Burton herself confirmed the news in a tweet on Tuesday, November 3. “Been pretty hard to keep this a secret. But I love working with @JDMorgan. I love watching him become #Negan and take on that swagger,” Burton wrote on the blue bird app. “And I love the @TheWalkingDead family. They’ve been a part of our family for ages and I’m so grateful for their kindness. Xoxo #hereslucille.”

    Hilarie Burton confirmed her appearance as Lucille on ‘The Walking Dead’.
    Burton is known for her role on “One Tree Hill”. Her credits also include “The Secret Life of Bees”, “Surprised by Love”, “Extant” and “Grey’s Anatomy”.

    In Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” comics, Negan was married to Lucille prior to the zombie apocalypse. He was cheating on her with his wife knowing about the affair. However, Lucille’s cancer diagnosis changed Negan as he called his affair off because he wanted to spend as much time with his wife as possible.
    Lucille eventually died and the end of the world came almost simultaneously. As the zombie virus started spreading, Lucille reanimated as one of the walkers in her hospital bed. He then named his famous weapon, the barbed wire covered baseball bat, after his late wife to pay tribute to her.
    Morgan and Burton have been together for over 10 years after she was introduced to Morgan at an Irish pub in Los Angeles by her former co-star Danneel Ackles and her husband, actor Jensen Ackles. The pair eventually tied the knot last October.
    Recalling the night when she first met the actor, Burton previously shared, “When he came along, he was so sure of himself.” The “Friday Night In with the Morgans” co-host added, “I was not a girl anyone pursued. I’ve always been alpha. And Jeffrey was like, ‘You’re going to be my girlfriend.’ It was so nice to be pursued. He’s a cute dude! And I liked that he knew exactly who he was. His confidence was intoxicating.”

    CBS

    In a new episode of the CBS daytime talk show, the 41-year-old singer/rapper thanks her co-hosts, including Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood and Carrie Ann Inaba, for their support all this time.

    Nov 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Eve is departing from “The Talk”. The rapper and singer announced on Monday, November 2 that she will be with the CBS daytime talk show only until this December, noting that it would be hard for her to travel back from London, where she and husband Maximillion Cooper currently reside.
    “It’s been a crazy year, obviously for all of us,” she shared. “And I’m so grateful that I’m able to stay here in London and do the show, but I can’t see for me, the foreseeable future of traveling back at the moment, and have decided that at the end of December, this will probably be my last time on the show, in this capacity as a host.”
    She went on to say, “We’re on another lockdown from Thursday, and that’s another reason, obviously staying home has been such a blessing because my husband and I got to know each other in a different way, a beautiful way. So I want to be closer to him. I want to concentrate on expanding our family, being with my family.”

    “I have had the most beautiful experience. I’ve grown as a woman, as a person. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I never thought that being on a talk show would be this much of an opening of my spirit, soul, personality, everything. Sitting on stage with all you women has been the best thing ever. I truly love you,” Eve, who joined the talk show in November 2017 to replace Aisha Tyler, added.
    The 41-year-old star later thanked her co-hosts, including Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood and Carrie Ann Inaba, for their support all this time. “Real friends support each other. We all support you,” said Carrie Ann.
    Meanwhile, Sharon chimed in, “Eve, I love and respect you, always, always. And there is a big place here for you always in my heart. I love you…I just want you to be happy.” Sheryl then joked, “Hurry up so I can be an auntie.”
    Prior to this, Marie Osmond announced her departure from “The Talk” after one season. “One of the highlights of my year at #TheTalk was working with my dear friend John Redmann (former EP and showrunner) and I’m excited to continue our working relationship on several projects we are developing,” she tweeted in September, adding that she was “looking forward to spending more time with him & visiting all the kids/grandkids.”
