Peter Weber Fired Back At Critics Who Trolled Him and Kelley Flanagan—Then Deleted His Comments


Former Bachelor Peter Weber has been supplying tons of quarantine content lately. After keeping his fans amused with singalongs on his Instagram stories, he started sharing a few videos that offer a glimpse into his lockdown situation with Kelley Flanagan—who he’s been quarantining with in Chicago.

On April 18, Weber shared a new TikTok video where he climbs onto Flanagan’s shoulders (it’s actually pretty impressive), but some people who are hyper-aware of Weber and Flanagan’s past had thoughts. Basically, they started trolling the pilot in the comments, reminding him that he’d kicked Kelley off of his season and chose Hannah Ann (and eventually Madison Prewett, who he only dated for approximately two days.

However, Weber was not about to let the critics get to him. He went through the comments and responded cheekily to a lot of them and tried to make light of the whole situation, according to Cosmopolitan. For example (because there were a bunch), when a social media user teased, “Kelley sweetie blink twice if ur ok,” Weber hit back with the wide-eyed emoji. “Kelly = CEO of being the last possible option,” another user wrote.

To that, Weber responded, “Ok, it’s not like I sent her home the night one…”

However, it seems he changed his mind about feeding the trolls and decided to delete his comments. He didn’t reveal why, but this is what the same TikTok comments section looked like just a day later:

His initial responses might be a hint that Weber and Flanagan are getting serious, but speaking to Nick Viall on the podcast The Viall Files, he insisted they’re still not putting a label on things.

“Are we dating? No. Do I love spending time with her? Absolutely,” he said. “We’re not dating. Could I see that in the future? Yeah, of course. I’d be extremely lucky and very happy if that happened. I’m the last person that needs to rush into any kind of relationship. I just had an engagement that didn’t work out. I just was trying to pursue things with another woman that didn’t work out. That’s why right now. I’m just taking it really, really slow.”

Keep an eye on his TikTok account for updates…and magic tricks.

Florence Pugh Just Called Out Fans for Their Rude Comments About Her Boyfriend, Zach Braff


Florence Pugh is very much a star on the rise. 2019 brought us two amazing performances from her in the horror movie Midsommar and as Amy March in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Little Women, which garnered her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She’ll also appear in her first Marvel film, Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow, when it’s released (hopefully) later this year after its original May date was pushed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

She also happens to be dating Zach Braff (of Scrubs and Garden State fame), which has stirred up some controversy online. Earlier this week, Pugh (who is 24) posted an Instagram post celebrating her boyfriend’s 45th birthday. “Today we shall smile wider than the clouds are grey. April 6th and we’re celebrating hard! Happy Birthday wishes, boogies and cheers for this special person. Raise those bubbles and jiggle!” she wrote alongside a photo of Braff napping. Very quickly, the comments section flooded with lots of nasty comments about Braff and the couple’s age difference, causing Pugh to disable them.

On April 8, she posted a video letting everyone know how upsetting the experience was for her and made it clear she would not tolerate this type of behavior from fans. “Within about eight minutes of the photo being posted, I had about 70% of the comments hurling abuse, being horrid, and basically bullying someone on my page,” she said.

She continued, “I will not allow that behavior on my page. I’m not about that. It makes me upset. It makes me sad that during this time when we really all need to be together, we need to be supporting one another, we need to be loving one another. The world is aching and the world is dying and a few of you decided to bully for no reason.”

Pugh emphatically stated that who she chooses to date is nobody’s business but her own. “I’m 24 years old. I have been working since I was 17 years old. I have been earning money since I was 17 years old,” she said. “I became an adult when I was 18 years old and I started paying taxes when I was 18 years old. I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love, and I would never in my life ever, ever tell someone who they can and cannot love. It is not your place. It has nothing to do with you.”

She added, “The abuse that you throw at him is abuse that you’re throwing at me, and I don’t want those followers … I don’t want that on my page. It’s embarrassing, it’s sad and I don’t know when cyber bullying became trendy.”

Vanessa Hudgens Says Her Viral Comments About COVID-19 Were ‘Taken Out of Context’


Vanessa Hudgens recorded an Instagram Live on Monday night, March 16, and made some comments about the coronavirus (COVID-19) that more than a few people found off-putting.

“It’s a virus. I get it. I respect it,” she said during the recording. “But at the same time even if everybody gets it, yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible, but…inevitable?”

It didn’t take long for this short video to make the rounds online. Critics called out the singer-actor for her “heartless” and “irresponsible” words, but she says they’re being taken out of context.

Hudgens took to Instagram the next day to address the backlash. “So yesterday, I did an Instagram Live and I realized today that some of my comments are being taken out of context,” she said. “It’s a crazy time. It’s a crazy, crazy time. I am at home [on] lockdown, and that’s what I hope you guys are doing, too. In full quarantine and staying safe and sane. I don’t take this situation lightly—by any means. I am home. Stay inside, y’all.”

Hudgens is one of many celebrities who have urged their fans to practice social distancing and self-isolation as coronavirus precautions. Taylor Swift posted this message on her Instagram: “Guys, I follow you online and I love you guys so much and need to express my concern that things aren’t being taken seriously enough right now. I’m seeing lots of get-togethers and hangs and parties still happening. This is the time to cancel plans, actually truly isolate as much as you can, and don’t assume that because you don’t feel sick that you aren’t possibly passing something on to someone elderly or vulnerable to this. It’s a really scary time. But we need to make social sacrifices right now.”

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande told her fans, “It is incredibly dangerous and selfish to take this situation that lightly. The ‘we will be fine because we’re young’ mindset is putting people who aren’t young and / or healthy in a lot of danger. You sound stupid and privileged and you need to care more about others. like now.”

The Women Who Run Comments by Celebs Are About to Make Awards Season So Much Fun


Emma: No, it’s, it’s all us. The only thing that someone else does is we hired someone to run the athlete’s account.

For awards season specifically, how might your day differ?

Emma: We’re just a little more tuned into specific people, meaning specific celebrities. So, if there’s someone that we know may be posting something that will kind of gain a lot of traction from other celebrities, we will maybe focus a little more on that.

Julie Kramer: For example, if someone’s nominated for something and we know that they’re going to be posting about it or if we think they’re going to be posting about it, we’re constantly refreshing.

Is there anyone this season in particular that you’re going to be looking out for, paying closer attention to?

Emma: Good question. I don’t know. Anybody who’s kind of, like, the next sensation or someone that the Internet’s very focused on.

Just in general, is there anyone who’s not on social or not maybe very active that you would love to see increase their presence?

Emma: We would love to see Jennifer Lawrence on Instagram. I think she would be unbelievable. Both content and comment-wise.

Julie: Especially around award season too.

Emma: She’s for sure our number one. We kind of also always fantasized about the idea of Jennifer Aniston joining just so that we could see the contrast between her and Courteney Cox because Courteney Cox is honestly excellent on social. So when she came on Instagram, which was really recently actually, she kind of just took off. So yeah, we always love to think of the idea of if Jen were to come on, how that would kind of play itself out.

Are there any celebrities or comments that you don’t cover or sort of is off the table for you?

Body-Shamers Are Leaving Toxic Comments on a Photo of Kylie Jenner—Again


Kylie Jenner might be both a billionaire and a high-profile reality TV star, but she’s also a person—a person who’s currently facing a wave of derogatory and inappropriate comments from body-shamers on Instagram. While she’s been celebrating her 22nd birthday in Italy, Jenner’s also been sharing photos from the trip on both her personal account and the official accounts for her many cosmetics and skincare brands. In them, she’s sunning herself in a bikini, joined by a package of her skincare products. Trolls took the photo as permission to make comments about Jenner’s body—specifically, her butt.

Commenters rudely compared Jenner’s curves to a full diaper. “Time to change your diaper, baby girl,” one person said in the comments. “I think your diaper is full,” another commented.

The commentary only went downhill from there. Other users chimed in to question whether Jenner’s body is “natural.” “I remember when you looked like a surfboard,” one said.

One hero emerged from the toxic comment wasteland to set the others in place: “Comments like yours is [sic] what makes people want to do things differently with their bodies,” they wrote.

Of course, one kind comment doesn’t cancel out the damaging effects of several negative ones—and we’ve seen the movie before: Celebrity wears a swimsuit, celebrity decides to take a picture, body-shamers come out of the woodwork to throw in their unnecessary two cents. But frequency doesn’t make this cycle any more excusable.

Nothing about a picture of the media mogul in a swimsuit warrants the comments that body-shamers made (or comments about her body at all), and Jenner doesn’t owe anyone an explanation about procedures she may or may not have had, nor does she deserve gross barbs about her body’s shape on Instagram. If she wants to talk about her body—which she has—she will. Otherwise, let her be.

Chrissy Teigen Called Kid Rock 'Pathetic' Over His Comments About Taylor Swift


We’re not sure anybody could have anticipated a Chrissy Teigen-Kid Rock-Taylor Swift internet feud—but in 2019, nothing totally surprises us anymore. Let’s break down how this latest drama, which led to Teigen calling Kid Rock “pathetic,” came to be.

Swift has become increasingly more vocal about her political views over the past year. She came out in support of two Tennessee Democrats during the midterm elections last fall. She wrote a public letter to her senator, explaining why the Equality Act—which focuses on the rights of the LGBTQ+ community—is important to her. And in her most recent Vogue cover story, she explained why she wasn’t as vocal earlier in her career.

“I didn’t realize until recently that I could advocate for a community that I’m not a part of,” she said. “It’s hard to know how to do that without being so fearful of making a mistake that you just freeze. Because my mistakes are very loud. When I make a mistake, it echoes through the canyons of the world. It’s clickbait, and it’s a part of my life story, and it’s a part of my career arc.”

This, apparently, did not sit well with Kid Rock—who has publicly supported President Donald Trump and even visited him in the White House. “Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period,” he tweeted. “And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.”

That’s when Teigen, never one to hold her tongue, got involved. “You’re pathetic,” she quote-tweeted. She even mockingly signed her name at the end of her tweet, just as Kid Rock did.

Swift has not commented publicly about either Teigen or Kid Rock’s statements, but we’d love to know if she and Teigen are DM’ing about this whole thing.
