Hannah Ann Sluss Keeps ‘Liking’ the Most Suspect Tweets About Peter Weber


With everything going on in the world right now, including a lot of our favorite TV shows being put on hold, at least Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor keeps delivering drama. (Please remember that it ended weeks ago.) After proposing to Hannah Ann Sluss, breaking that off, reuniting with Madison Prewett, breaking that off, and getting caught on camera with Kelley Flanagan when he should be social-distancing, there’s enough drama going on in Bachelor Nation to distract us for at least another week. This doesn’t even include the Hannah Brown and Tyler Cameron of it all.

As recently as March 25, TMZ posted photos of Weber hanging out with Flanagan in Chicago. He’s even pictured carrying her over his shoulder in one shot. “Folks who saw them tell us Pete was super flirty and very handsy with Kelley,” the website reported.

Now, Sluss is indirectly commenting on Weber’s actions through her Twitter “likes.” “Raise hands if you knew Peter was a f*ckboi and are not surprised Peter’s now hooking up with a third woman from his season after it ended,” said one tweet that Sluss has “liked.”

The tweet continues, “@HannahannSluss warned us when she said Peter had been talking to multiple woman while they were still engaged. #thebachelor.” Sluss “liked” a response to this that says, “And apparently one of those women might have been her friend… ouch well at least she walked out of it like a QUEEN so kudos Hannah.”

These tweets are not the only way Sluss is showing her, um, displeasure with Weber. Cosmopolitan reported on March 26 that Sluss purged her Instagram of all photos of Weber and their time on The Bachelor. While that could have been an aesthetic choice, another one of her “liked” tweets suggests otherwise.

Constance Wu Just Clarified Her Surprising Tweets Surrounding the Renewal of 'Fresh Off the Boat'


ABC announced a slew of cancellations and renewals on Friday, and one of the survivors was Fresh Off the Boat. It’s good news for cast, crew, and dedicated viewers—but it seemed like one of the show’s stars wasn’t super-thrilled about the news. As news of FOTB‘s renewal broke, Constance Wu sent some tweets into the ether that were definitely surprising.

“So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. Fuck,” Wu tweeted on Friday, followed a few minutes later with a tweet reading simply, “Fucking hell.” She also commented “Dislike” on the renewal announcement posted to the show’s official Instagram and responded “No it’s not” to a fan who said how great the news was (her response now seems to have been deleted).

Obviously, Twitter wanted to know what was going on. She followed up her initial tweets around an hour later with a tweeted clarification.

“That was not a rampage, it was just how I normally talk. I say fuck a lot. I love the word. Y’all are making a lot of assumptions about what I was saying. And no, it’s not what it’s about. No it’s not..what this is all about. Stop assuming,” she wrote.

One fan pressed her for a clearer explanation: “You… literally said you were upset and crying over the renewal of a tv show you’re in. Of course people are going to ask why that was your reaction to what most actors would be happy about. Care to explain why?”

“I said I was upset and crying. I did not say it was over a tv show. You’re making an assumption,” she responded.

She also wrote on Friday that “todays tweets were on the heels of rough day&were ill timed w/the news of the show. Plz know, Im so grateful for FOTB renewal. I love the cast&crew. Im proud to be a part of it. For all the fans support, thank u & for all who support my casual use of the word fuck-thank u too?.”

Wu came back with another, more detailed explanation Saturday afternoon, writing that the show’s renewal meant she had to give up another project that would have “challenged [her] as an artist.”

“FOTB is a great show that I’m proud of and that I enjoy. I’ve gotten to fully explore my character and I know her like the back of my hand,” she wrote, calling her work on the show “fun and easy and pleasant.” However, she added, “I’ve always sought artistic challenge over comfort and ease.”

Wu also wrote that her tweets had been “insensitive to those who are struggling, especially insensitive considering the fact that I used to be in that struggle too,” adding an apology and saying that she realized how FOTB had opened some doors career-wise for her.

“People can hold conflicting feelings in their hearts—that conflict is a part of being human. So I can both love the show/cast/crew but at the same time be disappointed that I lost the other unrelated job,” she ended her statement.

Sophie Turner Totally Shut Down Piers Morgan Over His Tweets About Mental Health


Piers Morgan is stirring up controversy again—and Sophie Turner is having none of it. Morgan’s latest scuffle comes after he retweeted a story from The Sun which quoted British actress Beverley Callard as saying, “Real mental illness is very dark and it takes a great deal of strength to ask for help. I think we are now definitely chipping away at the stigma. But we have to be careful mental illness doesn’t become like a Gucci handbag. There is a danger it can become ‘fashionable’.”

“She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true,” Morgan commented with the retweet.

But Turner had a response ready for Morgan: “Or maybe they have a platform to speak out about it and help get rid of the stigma of mental illness which affects 1 in 4 people in UK per year,” she tweeted. “But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. Twat.”

She’s right. Conversations that normalize mental health issues and help do away with the stigmas attached to them are always important—not fodder for jokes.

This isn’t the first time Turner has used her social media platforms to speak out about mental health. In support of World Suicide Prevention Day in September she wrote, “You’re stronger than you think. You will get through this. You’re so loved. You are NOT a burden. #WorldSuicidePreventationDay”

As for Morgan, this is just the latest in a long line of controversial views and Twitter arguments with a young woman at the center. Back in November, he got into it with Ariana Grande (and her mom, Joan) on Twitter over how and when women should put their sexuality on display. Grande also clapped back brilliantly, writing, “I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to. women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it’s OUR choice. we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next.”

Pete Davidson's Deleted Instagram, Ariana's Concern, and Kanye's Tweets: Here's What Happened


On Saturday, Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson posted a concerning message to his Instagram feed that began, “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” before deleting it along with his account. The post—and subsequent aftermath—came in the wake of a much larger conversation (some might say feud) percolating on Twitter during the weekend that involved Drake and Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and Davidson’s former fiancé Ariana Grande.

Following hours of coverage and concern from fans and friends, Davidson made a brief appearance on the fall finale of SNL. But a lot happened in the days leading up to Pete’s message, so here’s a brief recap to get you up to speed:

Ariana Grande Wades Into Kanye West and Drake’s Twitter Feud

On Thursday, Kanye West kicked off a Twitter clash with Drake, publicly reigniting a long-simmering feud that kicked off earlier this year. Amidst the chaos, Ariana Grande stepped in to ask the “grown men” to stop arguing so fans could enjoy she and Miley Cyrus’ new music. “Guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u,” she tweeted.

On Saturday, West responded to Grande, firing off a series of tweets letting her know that “all of this foolishness weighed on my mental health” and asking her not to “use me or this moment to promote a song.”

Grande responded, writing, “With all due respect, I don’t need to use anyone to promote anything. period. I was making a comment ab what men were doing at the time vs. women. It was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. I apologize if i was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today.” The tweet was later deleted.

The singer also posted two other tweets, which are also now deleted, reading “stop weaponizing mental health everyone,” and “regardless of how i feel about a situation, i can also care about their mental health.”

Pete Davidson Praises Kanye West

Davidson, who has been outspoken about his own mental health after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, took to Instagram on Saturday to applaud West, after he’d called out Grande, for being vocal about mental health.

“Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health,” Davidson wrote, per US Weekly. “I can’t explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this. We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I’m seriously disgusted.”

Many Grande fans saw this message as a dig at the pop star, who ended her relationship with Pete at the end of October. Many began viciously trolling him online.

Pete Davidson Posts a Highly Concerning Message to Instagram

Following the above tweets—and the bullies—Davidson posted a message written in the iPhone’s Notes app to Instagram with the following message: “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so.” He then deleted the post and account, causing mass concern for his well being.

Fans and fellow celebrities, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Nicki Minaj, and Megan McCain, posted messages of support for the comedian to Twitter, and many called on those near to Davidson to check in. “Pete Davidson … hang in there. There is a lot of help out here. Surrender to some love somewhere around you … today! Right now! And then … let in the help that will become available. I’m praying for you Pete. I’ve been there. It gets better,” wrote Smith.

Ariana Grande Shares Her Support for Pete Davidson

Grande also commented in a series of since-deleted Tweets to her ex-fiancé. “Man i’m so sorry i told a dumb joke,” she wrote, according to People, likely referencing the Tweet about Kanye West.

“I really didn’t mean any harm. all i want everyone to be healthy and happy. so desperately. please. my god,” she continued. “I’m downstairs and I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything. I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but i’m here too.”

According to the New York Times, a police officer was sent to the Saturday Night Live studio to check on Davidson, and an NBC representative reportedly contacted the New York Police Department separately to say “Davidson was at work and was fine.” During Saturday night’s episode of SNL, Davidson appeared briefly to introduce Miley Cyrus as the evening’s musical guest.

That’s all we know for now, but we’ll keep this story updated as we hear more.

If you or someone you know needs support, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Ariana Grande Broke Her Silence on Pete Davidson With the Shadiest Tweets


Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s whirlwind relationship ended in mid-October when news broke they were calling off their engagement. The Sweetener singer hasn’t said anything specific about the uncoupling—until now, at least. On Thursday night (November 1), she finally broke her silence on Davidson in a series of pointed tweets.

Here’s what happened: a Grande fan circulated a promo for this weekend’s Saturday Night Live on Twitter in which Davidson proposes to singer Maggie Rogers, she declines, and then he remarks “0 for 3.” The joke is clearly a jab at the fact his relationship with Grande didn’t work out—and fans aren’t happy about it. “SNL is about to milk their breakup just like they did with the engagement,” the person who uploaded the video wrote. Another fan then took the video and captioned it, “Tag yourself, I’m Maggie.”

That’s the tweet that got Grande’s attention. She retweeted it and added a period punctuation mark for commentary. She then wrote two more tweets seemingly about Davidson and this SNL stunt. “For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh,” Grande wrote. “Thank u, next.”

Check out the promo and Grande’s tweets for yourself, below:

This is Grande’s first time acknowledging the breakup, but Davidson’s mentioned it several times during recent standup routines. “So, obviously you know I, we [Ariana and I], broke up or whatever, but when me and her first got engaged, we got tattoos,” Davidson reportedly said at a Los Angeles benefit show in October. “And it was like in a magazine like, ‘Was Pete Davidson stupid?’ And 93 percent of it said yes. So my boy, he was like, ‘Don’t listen to that shit, man. They’re literally fucking haters.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, fuck that. I’m not stupid.’ And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, ‘Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'”

Roseanne Barr Apologizes for Her Racist Tweets in a New Interview


Roseanne Barr, who starred in ‘90s sitcom Roseanne and this year’s subsequent, short-lived revival on ABC, has apologized for the racist Twitter rant that eventually lead to the revival’s cancellation.

On May 29, she posted a since-deleted tweet that said, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby= vj.” It reportedly referred to an online claim that the CIA spied on French presidential candidates, with “vj” referring to Valerie Jarrett, a former Obama aide. (In the aftermath of the cancellation, Jarrett would call the tweet a “teaching moment.”)

In the subsequent days, ABC cancelled the Roseanne revival—which brought in huge ratings to the network—and announced The Connors, its spinoff, in which Barr will have no financial or creative involvement.

In her first interview since the tweet, Barr apologized for her words on Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast at Stand Up NY. According to the New York Daily News, the interview actually happened two days after the initial tweets in May, but the rabbi—a friend of Roseanne—waited to release the audio until early this morning.

“I’m a lot of things. I’m a loudmouth and all that stuff, but I’m not stupid, for God’s sake, and I never would have wittingly called any black person … say they are a monkey,” she said, at times crying during the 30-minute long podcast. “I never would do that! And I didn’t do that. And if people think that I did that it just kills me. I didn’t do that, although they think I did. And if they do think that I am so sorry that I- ya know, it was so unclear and stupid. I’m very sorry but I don’t think that, I never would do that.”

“Of course, no I don’t excuse it,” she said, saying again during the interview that she was on Ambien when she tweeted. “I horribly regret it, are you kidding? I’ve lost everything. And I regretted it before I lost everything and I said to God, ‘I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I’ve done wrong.’ I’m willing to accept what the consequences are. And, I do. And I have.”
