Kid Rock surprised a reporter from BBC with some flirtatious remarks in an interview on January 20.

The musician appeared on BBC News to talk about his plans for Donald Trump’s inauguration. He performed a few songs at a pre-inauguration rally at the Capitol One Arena in Washington D.C. on Sunday.

In a clip from the broadcast, via The Sun, Rock said, “I’m done with work, so I can actually celebrate the rebirth of America today.” Then, he asked BBC reporter Caitriona Perry, “What about you? What are you doing? Where are you at?”

Perry mentioned she was on a rooftop for the broadcast, which would last 11 or 12 hours, and pointed out the cold weather. Although it seemed like Rock was on a Zoom call with her, it was actually just an audio call.

Kid responded, “I can’t see you right now, so I don’t know what you look like.” The reporter joked that she was ‘ready to hit the slopes’ because she was wearing ski and winter gear to stay warm during the broadcast.

The singer stated, “I love to go skiing. You sound sexy, you want to go with me?” Perry hesitated before answering, “Well, we won’t get into that right here, so. We’re doing no skiing today, we’ve got a day of broadcasting to do. But Kid Rock, thank you so much for joining us here on BBC News, enjoy your day.”

The Village People, Lee Greenwood, and Billy Ray Cyrus also performed at the inauguration eve celebrations. Trump and his team said he would take over 100 executive actions on his first day in office. Some of his orders included declaring a national emergency at the border, boosting oil production, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, recognizing only two genders, and targeting drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, per USA Today.

Jon Bon Jovi Calls Music Industry ‘Bullsh—‘ For Signing Bands Sound Like Bon Jovi And Guns N’ Roses

In a recent interview with George Stroumboulopoulos, Jon Bon Jovi criticized the music industry.

“The industry that I had bought into and helped to make money… were then signing 10 other bands that either sounded like Bon Jovi or Guns N’ Roses. That was bullsh*t by that point. The third and fourth generations of that were just sh*t. And they needed to be kicked out.”

Bon Jovi also shared his views on the music industry in a chat with virginradio.co.uk at the UK premiere of ‘Thank You, Goodnight.’ “For kids today, it’s just different,” Jon said when asked if he thinks new artists can reach the same level of success he had.

The frontman continued, “It’s not better, it’s not worse, it’s different. Unfortunately, they have to have more social media presence or likes before that same A&R guy is going to sign them to a record deal, which breaks my heart.”

“There’s also a kid out there who’s as crazy as me that went to the radio stations like ‘the hell with the record company, I’ll go right to the source,’” Jon added. “There’s going to be creative thinkers out there. They’re going to forge your own path.”

Earlier this year, he also spoke with People about having his 40th year in the music industry, sharing, “I was willing to outwork everybody — I think that’s what it came down to.”

Bon Jovi also noted, “I definitely wasn’t the best at anything. I was just the hardest working, and it was nothing more than the desire to get better every day.”

Jon has had vocal problems for a few years and it isn’t clear if he’ll continue performing. He previously said he wants to retire if he can’t sing well.

 

Reality star Lynn Ban, 52, dead weeks after emergency brain surgery from Aspen ski accident

Ban starred in Netflix’s ‘Bling Empire: New York’ when the show debuted in 2023

“Bling Empire: New York” star Lynn Ban has died. She was 52.

Ban’s son, Sebastian, shared a heartfelt tribute to his mother on her social media.

“My mum passed away on Monday. I know she wanted to share her journey after her accident and brain surgery, so I thought she would appreciate one last post sharing the news to people who supported her,” the post, accompanied by photos of Ban, read.

“Many of you followed my mum but never got the chance to know her or meet her in person. I would like to take the chance to share who my mum really was. She was and always will be my best friend, the best mother to me, and someone who cared for all.”

He added, “She always had a smile on her face even when times were tough during her recovery process. She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know. She was the funniest and coolest mum I could ever ask for. She took care of me, my dad, and our Entire family throughout her whole life. Although she may be gone now, I will do everything I can to make sure she is never forgotten and for her life to be celebrated as it deserves to be.”

Ban’s son’s final message to his mother was, “I will miss you forever,” as he concluded his post with something she always told him – “I love you more than life itself.”

“She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know… I will miss you forever… I love you more than life itself.”

— Sebastian, Lynn Ban’s son

A NYPD spokesperson confirmed with Fox News Digital that their team responded to a call on Monday, Jan. 20 at approximately 1:30 p.m. in the vicinity of Warren Street and West Street.

Upon arrival, officers observed a 52-year-old woman found “unconscious and unresponsive,” inside the location.

“EMS responded and pronounced the female dead at the scene,” police added.

Authorities shared that the medical examiner is currently determining the cause of death, but there were “no arrests.” The investigation remains ongoing, police told Fox News Digital.

Netflix did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Weeks leading up to her death, the reality television star shared harrowing details about how she underwent emergency brain surgery after she suffered a brain bleed from a ski accident in Aspen.

“And In a blink of an eye… life can change. Christmas Eve on a beautiful sunny day in Aspen on vacation with my family, I had a ski accident that would change my life,” Ban wrote on Instagram in December.

“At the top of the mountain I caught a tip and face planted. Luckily, I always wear a helmet, It didn’t seem that bad at the time and I was able to ski to the bottom.”

Ban continued to explain that she wanted to get checked by ski patrol in case she had a concussion.

After she had a minor headache, the paramedic suggested Ban go to the hospital for a CAT scan.

“Within 30 minutes they told us I had a brain bleed and needed to be airlifted to the trauma hospital. Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy,” Ban wrote, as she mentioned her partner Jett Kain – who also starred on “Bling Empire: New York” – stood by her side.

She shared photos of her half-shaven head filled with stitches and her intubated in a hospital bed, with medical tubes inserted in the back of her head and in her mouth.

“There’s a long road of recovery ahead but I’m a survivor and grateful to ski patrol, the incredible team of doctors and nurses… support my family and friends. GOD IS GOOD.”

“Grateful and blessed to see the new year,” she concluded her post.

Meanwhile, celebrities, including Rihanna and fellow “Bling Empire” star Dorothy Wang, paid tribute to the beloved reality star.

“2025 is rocking me at this point! This is too much!!! Lynn you will always be our fairy godmother! Love you forever and always! Can’t believe I’m writing this in a comment section rn! Thank you for all the joy you brought to us!” Rihanna wrote on Instagram.

Wang replied to her son Sebastian in the heartfelt post.

“Sebastian, we have never met but the way your mom lit up every time she spoke of you-i will never forget. i won’t forget so many wonderful things about your mother,” Wang shared in the comments section.

“She was a true bada– yet the kindest ray of light at the same time. yes she loved her fashion and her looks, but what truly mattered most to her was always you and your father, her tribe… we are all heartbroken.”

Another “Bling Empire” star, Christine Chiu, sent her condolences as she remembered her dear friend.

“I am so sorry for your loss… Lynn [led] an inspiring and incredible life, and was an extraordinary human… mom, wife, artist, boss, queen. May her love and light live on forever.”

Ban was born in Singapore, and was a famous New York City jewelry designer who created custom pieces for star-studded celebrities, including Rihanna and Beyoncé.

She was part of the “Bling Empire: New York” cast when it debuted on Netflix in 2023. The series was a spinoff of the original “Bling Empire” set in Los Angeles, as the hit show followed the luxurious lives of a group of wealthy Asian Americans living in New York City.

Ban is survived by her husband, Jett, and son, Sebastian.

Caitlin Clark celebrated her 23rd birthday on Wednesday and, sure enough, the Indiana Fever guard got an outpouring of sweet messages from family, friends and fans alike.

Former Iowa Hawkeyes teammate Kate Martin made sure to greet the Fever star on her special day, writing on social media, “Happy birthday, love you.” The same goes for Fever teammate Aliyah Boston, who called her “sistaaa” and wished her to have the “best day and year everrrrr.”

One message that stood out, however, was from Clark’s boyfriend Connor McCaffery. As he greeted her with a happy birthday, the ex-Hawkeyes hooper expressed how thankful he is to have the WNBA All-Star in his life.

“Happy 23rd CC (finally we’re celebrating together this year)!” McCaffery wrote. “You have an incredible ability to inspire and lift up those around you, and I am lucky to learn from you every day. Thank you for always being you. I love you.”

Of course, Caitlin Clark saw the message, and she quickly shared her appreciation for her partner.

“Awh, love you,” Clark said along with a pleading face, red heart, black heart and fire emojis.

Clark and McCaffery have been dating for almost two years now. They started their relationship in April 2023, though they didn’t make it Instagram official until August of the same year, per Business Insider.

Sure enough, McCaffery has been a massive supporter of Clark amid her WNBA career. While they are private about their relationship, McCaffery has often been seen cheering for his girlfriend online.

Jason Alden is praising this all-American girl.

The country star shared his two cents on Carrie Underwood’s a capella performance of “America the Beautiful” during Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday.

“First of all, it’s a hard song to do anyway, and when you’re supposed to be singing to a track and that’s what gives you pitch reference for the song,” Aldean, 47, shared on Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends.”

“To not have that, for her to just kinda say, ‘All right, listen, we’ll go.’ That’s a big move and that’s a pro move on her part, so I thought it was great.”

During the ceremony, Underwood, 41, sang the patriotic anthem but experienced technical difficulties and was told to perform without music.

The “American Idol” alum stood there ready to go with a microphone in hand when she was abruptly informed of technical issues by a man wearing a headset.

“Just sing?” she asked him. “I can just sing it.”

“You know the words — help me out here,” Underwood told the room before belting out the lyrics.

Before the monumental day, Underwood reflected on the honor to perform.

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” she told The Post in a statement. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Aldean, for his part, performed at the Liberty Ball for the president’s supporters.

“Every time I think I’ve done it all …This was a whole different ball game for me,” Aldean told Fox. “It was just a huge honor to be there and be part of that night. It just kind of feels electric. Everybody is just excited for this new chapter of where we are headed.”

Aldean’s wife, Brittany, echoed her husband’s sentiments, taking to Instagram to celebrate her other half and the 47th president.

“INAUGURATION NIGHT,” Brittany, 36, wrote Monday. “What a ride it’s been! Today has made all the scrutiny worth it. Wouldn’t change a thing.”

Originally, Underwood’s decision to perform sparked controversy from some critics — including the ladies of “The View.”

While Whoopi Goldberg said “I stand behind her,” co-host Sunny Hostin explained that if she was a singer, she would give a “hard no” to the invite.

Alyssa Farah Griffin predicted that it might be a business decision for Underwood, who might “make a lot of money off of it.”

Lee Greenwood, who sang “God Bless the USA” at the inauguration, defended Underwood amid the backlash.

“I pity those people that think they have to reach out to a star like her and run some negativity past her when all you have to do is say, ‘Thank you for performing for our next president,’ ” he exclusively told The Post. “I mean, he is the next president. Come on. Stop this negative crap.”

Underwood has never revealed a candidate that she’s voted for in the past.

“There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly,” Underwood told TV Guide in 2008.

“I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions. I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.”

Is Travis Kelce retiring? Patrick Mahomes’ response sparks fears among Chiefs fans ahead of AFC title game

Sunday’s AFC Championship in Kansas City isn’t just an important game for the two-time defending Super Bowl-champion Chiefs. It could also be the last game franchise cornerstone Travis Kelce plays at Arrowhead Stadium.

The likely Hall of Famer is now 35, and while he is under contract through next season, Kelce has a number of off-the-field projects, including a cameo in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel.

Such endeavors have naturally led to fears among Chiefs fans that Kelce could bolt Kansas City for Hollywood.

But if they were hoping to get some reassurance from Kelce’s long-time teammate and friend Patrick Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP had none to offer.

‘I have no idea,’ Mahomes told Kansas City’s 96.5 FM ahead of Sunday’s AFC title game against the visiting Buffalo Bills. ‘He hasn’t said anything to me if he’s thinking that.

‘I know he signed a two-year extension before the season and he seems like he still loves football, but he also has a great life as well,’ Mahomes continued. ‘Either way, I just appreciate every single time I step on the field with that guy, knowing he’s a true legend of not only the Chiefs, but the NFL. If it’s his last game, let’s go out there and get him a win. If it’s not his last game, let’s go out and win anyways, huh?’

Chiefs fans are a bit nervous over the possibility Travis Kelce could leave KC for Hollywood

Mahomes’ motivational words aside, the quarterback’s words didn’t inspire hope among the Chiefs faithful.

‘Patrick,’ one fan responded, ‘I don’t like your answer.’

‘Why do I have a feeling that Pat knows something,’ one fan asked.

Some fans rejected the idea wholeheartedly.

‘I’m just going to say… this coming Sunday does not at all feel like Travis Kelce’s last game at Arrowhead,’ wrote Chiefs podcaster Lexi Osborne. ‘But I guess you never know. Praying I’m right. I will never be ready for that day to come…’

One fan made the unavoidable connection to Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

‘I want him to retire on a three-peat so he and Taylor can both retire and get married and have a baby,’ the infatuated supporter wrote on X.

‘I don’t know: billionaire gf, makes great money doing a podcast, broke the record of his idol, assured HOF first ballot,’ another remarked, likely referencing Kelce surpassing Jerry Rice for the most 100-yard receiving games in playoff history last week. ‘What else is there to do?

But many, many more expressed sadness over the mere possibility that Kelce could leave.

‘I can’t even let myself think about it,’ one wrote.

Even at 35, Kelce remained productive, recording 97 receptions and 823 yards on 133 targets. He had only three touchdowns during the regular season, but made up for that on Saturday with a score in the Chiefs’ Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans.

Kelce has shown some more confidence in second stringer Noah Gray this season, completing 40 passes to the tight end for 437 yards and five touchdowns.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has truly had a year to remember. From being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft to shattering records and earning major accolades in her rookie season, the Iowa alum has quickly become one of the brightest stars in the league. At just 23 years old, Clark is already rewriting the history books, cementing her place as one of basketball’s most electrifying talents.

Clark’s journey to the WNBA was nothing short of remarkable. As the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, she was already a household name in the college basketball world before even stepping onto a professional court. Her exceptional performance during her college years at the University of Iowa earned her the respect of fans and analysts alike. But many wondered if she could carry that success over to the next level.

In her debut season, Clark not only met but exceeded the high expectations placed on her. She was named the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year, and her outstanding play earned her a coveted spot on the All-WNBA First Team. She became the first rookie since 2008 to be recognized in this way, a testament to her instant impact on the league. Clark’s record-breaking season included setting the record for the most points by a guard in league history, scoring 769 points—an extraordinary feat that speaks to her scoring prowess.

Clark’s talent didn’t stop at scoring. She also made history with her playmaking ability. In a single game, she dished out 19 assists, setting a new WNBA record for most assists in a game. But perhaps the most remarkable statistic of all was her ability to record a triple-double—something no rookie had ever done before. Clark not only achieved this feat once, but she did it twice, further showcasing her all-around game and versatility. This exceptional rookie season was enough to earn her the title of TIME magazine’s Athlete of the Year, a crowning achievement for a year that was filled with personal and professional triumphs.

With all the success Clark has experienced, it’s no surprise that fans are eager to know how she celebrates her accomplishments—and how she spends her personal time. On January 22, 2025, Clark celebrated her 23rd birthday, and fans took to social media to share well-wishes. Among those sending birthday shoutouts were Clark’s Fever teammate, Aliyah Boston, former Hawkeye teammate, Kate Martin, and even Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. The support from her peers was overwhelming, highlighting the strong relationships Clark has built with her fellow athletes.

— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) January 22, 2025

Despite the outpouring of love and attention, Clark’s birthday celebrations stayed true to her hardworking and focused mentality. Known for her relentless drive, the basketball phenom didn’t take the day off to relax. Instead, she spent her special day doing what she does best—working hard on the court. The Indiana Fever posted a video of Clark drenched in sweat after a rigorous workout, where coaches and front office staff surprised her with a rendition of “Happy Birthday.” It’s a moment that perfectly encapsulates her dedication to her craft, as well as the tight-knit and supportive environment within the Fever organization.

The fans who follow Clark were hardly surprised by her commitment to staying in the gym on her birthday. One fan commented, “Of course she’s getting gains on her birthday. Of course she is.” Another added, “My Baby takes no days off even on her birthday. Happy Birthday.” It’s clear that for Clark, there’s no such thing as taking a break—her work ethic is simply unmatched. One Fever fan expressed it perfectly, saying, “Getting work in on her birthday. Cut from a different cloth. Levels 😤😤😤.” It’s this mentality that has helped Clark rise to the top of her game and will continue to fuel her success in the future.

Though she’s laser-focused on basketball, Clark also knows how to enjoy her downtime. A few days before her birthday, she attended the AFC divisional playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans 23-14. Clark enjoyed the game from the VIP suite of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, sitting next to his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift. As a self-proclaimed Swiftie, Clark had a blast at the game, proving that she knows how to have fun when she’s not on the court.

Clark’s connection to Swift doesn’t end there. In October 2024, she attended multiple “Eras Tour” concerts by Taylor Swift at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where she was seen living her best life as a fan of the pop icon. It’s clear that while Clark may be one of the brightest stars in basketball, she’s also just like many of her fans, enjoying the same experiences that make life enjoyable outside of the spotlight.

Looking ahead, Caitlin Clark’s future in the WNBA is incredibly bright. She has already proven herself to be a generational talent, and if her rookie season is any indication, her best years are still ahead of her. With her combination of scoring ability, playmaking vision, and work ethic, Clark is poised to be one of the defining players of the next era of women’s basketball. As the Indiana Fever continue to build around her, the sky is truly the limit for this young star.

For now, though, Caitlin Clark is taking everything in stride—on the court, in her personal life, and in how she approaches each new challenge that comes her way. With more records to break, games to win, and celebrations to enjoy, there’s no doubt that Clark’s 23rd year will be just as memorable as her 22nd.

True to form, if Clark isn’t playing sports, she’s watching them. A few days earlier, she traveled to Arrowhead Stadium to catch the Chiefs defeat the Houston Texans 23-14 in the AFC divisional round. Clark appeared to have a fantastic time in Chief tight end Travis Kelce’s VIP suite while sitting next to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

The self-proclaimed Swiftie attended back-to-back “Eras Tour” concerts at Lucas Oil Stadium in October.

Fans slam Travis Kelce’s ‘petty’ ex Kayla Nicole for bizarre Caitlin Clark snub after she sat with Taylor Swift

Eagle-eyed fans have accused Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole of unfollowing Caitlin Clark after the WNBA star’s viral encounter with Taylor Swift at the weekend.

Clark sent the internet wild on Saturday night when she joined Swift in her VIP Arrowhead suite for the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff clash with the Houston Texans.

The pair were captured sitting together as Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce helped Kansas City claim a precious victory, while they were even seen hugging in celebration at one stage after he scored a touchdown.

Yet after she linked up with Kelce’s famous girlfriend, Clark has been unfollowed on Instagram by the Chiefs tight end’s former partner Nicole, fans have claimed.

On Tuesday, one of Swift’s die-hard followers shared a meme of actress Emilia Clarke laughing on X and wrote: ‘Unfollowing CC [Caitlin Clark] guess those game day pics really bothered her!’

When another user asked who they were referring to, the Swiftie replied: ‘KN [Kayla Nicole] unfollowed Caitlin.’

The post quickly went viral online, with a third fan commenting: ‘She’s bothered to be unbothered seriously! She wants to create a drama again after unfollowing CC.’

‘She ever gonna move on from him lol,’ asked another.

‘Only way to get pub[lic] smh,’ said a fifth.

Another asked: ‘Is Kayla Nicole petty?’

While one wrote sarcastically: ‘I’m sure Caitlin is devastated’.

Nicole, an avid basketball fan who frequently posts about the sport, dated Kelce on and off for five years up before parting in 2022. He went public with Swift in September 2023.

The influencer recently discussed their previous romance on WNBA star Angel Reese’s podcast, while also opening up on the abuse she has received from Swifties over the past year.

She told Reese, who is seen by many as Clark’s arch-rival on the court, back in October: ‘Behind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend, speaking every day to cutting ties. Then you throw in social media.

Nicole dated the NFL star for five years before his high-profile romance with Swift began

‘I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and online chaos didn’t impact me, even to this day. You could go to my most recent posts and people would be debating why I am worthless.

‘It is nothing to do with me. I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don’t think I have done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.’

Earlier this week, Nicole admitted she does not want Kelce and the Chiefs to reach a third consecutive Super Bowl this season, despite conceding that it will likely happen.

‘They’ve got the threats, so, as much as I’d love to see somebody else in the Super Bowl, just to see something new, it’s not gonna happen,’ she said on I Am Athlete, while the show was discussing the AFC Championship.

If Kelce and the Chiefs can get past the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, it would be the fifth time they have advanced to the Super Bowl in the past four seasons.

Taylor Swift was just lauded for her burlesque performance in her October 2022 Bejeweled music video.

Swift, 35, directed the visual for the two-year-old track — featured on her Midnights album — which included cameos from Laura Dern, Haim, and Pat McGrath.

Dita Von Teese also made an appearance in the sensual clip, and she reflected on the moment while promoting her upcoming London show Diamonds and Dust.

The 52-year-old professional dancer appeared alongside media personality Lorraine on her eponymous talk show on Wednesday, where she praised Swift’s talents.

She credited the Tortured Poets Department music artist with the idea for them to perform side-by-side, mentioning that other entertainers don’t bother consulting with her and instead steal her signature moves.

‘The approach that she gave me was a side-by-side. Certainly, people approach me all the time like, “Oh, can I use your glass?” — or they don’t even ask me, they just copy as best they can,’ the show business vet explained.

‘She knew everything about burlesque and what I do, which is really amazing. And she’s so smart, and professional, and funny,’ Dita gushed about the Eras artist.

Swift, 35, directed the visual for the two-year-old track  – featured on her Midnights album -which included cameos from Laura Dern, Haim, and Pat McGrath

She also described Taylor as ‘amazing,’ noting, ‘I just love that she [was] like, “I wanna showcase what you do.”‘

The video sees the pop star transform from Cinderella to a dancer clad in a stone-covered corset and red lipstick.

Von Teese is widely credited with giving burlesque — which originated in the 1800s — a modern refresh.

Her appearance on Lorraine comes ahead of her new burlesque show, Diamonds and Dust, which she announced in 2023.

Dita began teasing out information on Instagram as early as March 2023.

It wasn’t until this month that she began reaching out to talent with casting call alerts to perform in London’s West End.

And finally, on Wednesday, it was announced that the sexy show will begin this summer on June 16, 2025.

The production is described as ‘a tale of the Good, the Bad and the Lucky’ on the show’s website.

Dita will star as Lady Luck and will don her trademark glitzy and skimpy outfits, plus her notable props.

The theatrical production will take place at the Emerald Theatre in the heart of the West End.

Previews for the show start on June 16 and the show will officially open on July 3, according to the site.

It Ends with Us Author Colleen Hoover Deactivates Instagram amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Legal Drama

Colleen Hoover is stepping back from social media amid the ongoing legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Fans of the author realized that her Instagram account is currently inactive. Hoover’s decision to step back from Instagram follows the current legal battle between Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 40, the stars of the film adaptation, It Ends with Us.

The movie was based on Hoover’s best-selling 2016 novel about Lily Bloom (played by Lively) and how her boyfriend Ryle Kincaid (played by Baldoni) turns abusive in their relationship. The film was directed by Baldoni and hit theaters in August 2024.

Months after the film’s summer release, Lively filed a sexual-harassment complaint against Baldoni on Dec. 20, 2024. Lively alleged that Baldoni engaged in misconduct during the film’s production.

Additionally, per her complaint, the A Simple Favor star met with Baldoni and several of the film’s producers, alongside husband Ryan Reynolds as her representative, to establish protections before production resumed following two Hollywood strikes. The complaint alleged that after his production company agreed to the protections, Baldoni later hired crisis publicists to begin a retaliatory smear campaign against her.

The day after Lively filed her complaint, Hoover posted a supportive Instagram Story.

“@blakelively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” Hoover wrote alongside a photo of herself and Lively hugging at a screening of the film. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”

Since the initial complaint, Baldoni has denied Lively’s allegations. On Dec. 31, 2024, he filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times for libel, false light invasion of privacy, promissory fraud and breach of implied-in-fact contract regarding the article the outlet published titled “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.” The Times stands by its reporting and said it will defend against the lawsuit.

On Jan. 6, Lively’s legal team told PEOPLE in a statement that her “serious claims of sexual harassment and retaliation” are “backed by concrete facts.” Adding, “This is not a ‘feud’ arising from ‘creative differences’ or a ‘he said/she said’ situation.”

The following day, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman said on behalf of his client that they are “releasing all of the evidence which will show a pattern of bullying and threats to take over” the film.

That same day, Baldoni’s lawyers sent a litigation hold letter to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger, demanding they hold onto documents that mention Baldoni for potential use in court — including communications made about Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine character Nicepool, in an attempt to show it was used to “bully” Baldoni.

On Jan. 16, Baldoni countered Lively’s initial claim with a $400 million lawsuit against her, Reynolds and their publicist, claiming defamation, extortion and more.

On Jan. 21, Baldoni’s lawyer released production footage showing Lively and Baldoni speaking out of character while filming a dialogue-free scene to joke about his nose and her spray tan. The scene in question is referenced in both of their lawsuits.

Lively’s legal team subsequently called it a “stunt,” saying that “every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter,” what Lively included in her lawsuit about that scene.
