#MAGFAB: The Devil Wears Prada 2's Anne Hathaway Covers Harper’s Bazaar’s April 2026 Issue
In an exclusive interview with Harper’s BAZAAR Executive Editor Leah Chernikoff, Hathaway, ahead of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 premiere and a slate of highly anticipated films, discusses returning to her character Andy Sachs 20 years later, coming of age onscreen, and evolving with her fans alongside her most iconic roles: “I feel like I was, like, everybody’s babysitter,” Hathaway says. “And I was a child when I made THE PRINCESS DIARIES. I was still a 22-year-old mess of a human when I made THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. And so, we’ve grown up together, and I’m so happy for them and how their lives are unfolding. Like, this crazy thing where people just graduate from high school and they just send me their graduation announcements. People send me their wedding invitations. It’s so very sweet. And I feel bad, because I can never do anything with them, because I’m not Taylor Swift–level organized. Maybe someday.”
On moving away from the concept of “work-life balance”: She tells me about having made a “conscious shift” in recent years to stop living her life as a “stressed person,” which coincided with her decision to stop drinking. “Before, there was this focus that was really uncompromising and uninterrupted,” Hathaway says. “And I just can’t tell you anymore what life is like without kids, but kids interrupt you all the time.” Balance, she explains, is too fragile a concept. “My friends and I talk about it a lot, and we actually feel very defeated by the concept of balance,” she says. “If the weight shifts in one direction, you then have to bounce it up on the other side, and we find that it winds us up as opposed to making us steady.” Harmony, Hathaway theorizes, is more forgiving. “We’re like, ‘We seek to harmonize our life.’”
On her very public fall while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2: “I was aware that I was falling, I was aware that I was being photographed, and I was also aware that, like, so many people on the crew, their hearts had just jumped up into their throat, so I needed to get up quickly to make sure they knew I was okay,” she recalls. She jumped up immediately after, with her arms outstretched like a gymnast finishing a routine, to let everyone know she was okay. But privately, she told Frankel, “Oh no. I’m news.”
On her uncompromising work ethic: “I think I just knew from a young age that although I’m really lucky in so many ways and grew up with certain privileges, there wasn’t, like, this big life that was just going to be handed to me,” Hathaway says. “I’ve always just felt defined by my work ethic, because my skill set is what it is and I have to work with what I have, but how hard I can work is something that I can control. And so I never want to pull up short and feel like I could have worked harder. If I know that I’m working hard, I can live with who I am.”
On training for her role in Mother Mary despite not being a natural dancer: “I wasn’t concerned that I couldn’t keep up with Beyoncé, because she is Beyoncé.” But then, for Mother Mary, Hathaway had to become Beyoncé—or someone like her. “It was really, really humbling to have to deal with the limitations that my body had always had, that I’d accepted as part of my identity, but now they were no longer acceptable.” So she pushed herself. “Maybe other people would have been able to do it in a shorter amount of time or not have to train as hard, but I knew that it would hurt so much more if I hadn’t just left it all on the floor. So at the end of it, I couldn’t say, ‘Well, yeah, I wish I’d done this better. I wish I’d done that better.’ But I know I literally couldn’t have worked harder.”
On body image and aging: “So, I’m ready to have this great day with my family. And I am going to be in front of strangers, and people have phones. And all of the things. But my family is waiting for me. And I looked and I just went, ‘What?’ And then I looked again and I said, ‘You are 43.’ And looking at a 43-year-old body, I was like, ‘Nice.’ When I was expecting to see something that I am not, I felt insecure. But when I actually looked at what it actually is, I was okay with it.” And really, there isn’t much other choice than to be okay with it all, even as it gets harder. Because it does, inevitably, as you get older, but that can be clarifying too: “I think you realize that worry should be reserved for the really big stuff.”

#RHOA: Bravo Fires Back at Brit Eady’s $20 Million Lawsuit Over Kenya Poster Drama on RHOA
Bravo has clapped back at Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Brit Eady‘s lawsuit against the network.
After Brit sued the network in June 2025 for $20 million over a photo of what looked like her engaged in a sex act that Kenya Moore displayed on posters, Bravo is pushing back on her claims.
According to TMZ, the network called her lawsuit “an attempt to rewrite history – and her own contractual commitments, because she no longer likes the consequences of joining a popular and long-running reality series well known to feature authentic, unscripted dialogue, conflict, drama, and confrontation, along with many other dynamics of a group of women.”
They also noted that she was not misled and was “certainly not victimized” by them.
While the posters Kenya showed turned out not to be Brit, Bravo insisted she was warned of “provocative conduct or speech from other cast members.”
They also insisted she was told, “that production could involve stressful or emotionally challenging circumstances.”
Bravo also explained that Brit joined the show in its 16th season, and it would be remiss for her to pretend she didn’t know what type of show she was walking on. Additionally, the network noted that Kenya was suspended from the show due to her behavior and has not been asked back since.
Brit, on the other hand, was asked to return for season 17 but turned down the offer.
Bravo additionally claimed they cannot be held responsible for the incident with Kenya and asked the judge to dismiss the case in its entirety.
In the lawsuit, which remains ongoing, Brit said the posters appeared to show her giving oral sex and insisted Bravo “falsely yet unmistakably implied” it was her in the pics. She also said Bravo “contributed to a hostile work environment” and sexually harassed her by exposing her to “unwelcome, offensive, and sexualized behavior and comments” by making her come to work after she experienced a “gendered attack.”
Aside from the $20 million, Brit requested that Bravo remove the episode from public access. When she announced her departure from the show on Instagram, Brit noted she wanted to “thank everyone who supported” her as she closed this chapter.
“I decided to walk away from something that no longer serves me because I choose peace over destroying my mental,” Brit continued. “It’s very easy to say what I should have done, when most have not walked a day in my shoes. I choose ME, and a lot of ppl can’t say they choose themselves. I still have a lot of healing left to do, but you can’t heal in the same place that made you sick. I don’t owe anyone closure, I only owe myself to do what’s best for me. My journey here is done.”

Arsenio Hall Says Howard Stern 'Really Hated' Him for Years: 'I Hope Arsenio Dies'
Arsenio Hall is looking back at his talk show and what role it played in late-night wars.
Hall, 70, is releasing a memoir titled Arsenio this week, and he opened up about it in an interview with The New York Times, published on March 30. The Arsenio Hall Show ran in syndication from 1989 to 1994 and became a hit in major markets.
The Times noted that Hall’s show often “leaned into controversy,” including telling Entertainment Weekly that he would “kick [Jay] Leno’s ass.”
“There were times when Jay thought I didn’t work as hard as he did. And he criticized my monologue,” Hall explained. “And somebody got that to me. We definitely battled.” Years later, Hall appeared on The Jay Leno Show, and the pair have toured together.
The interviewer also noted that Hall appeared on The Howard Stern Show and noted, “That surprised me, because maybe your ugliest feud was with him.”
Hall explained, “When Magic Johnson contracted H.I.V. and Howard said, ‘I hope Arsenio dies,’ that’s when I realized it wasn’t joking around. He really hated me.” Hall was friends with Johnson, who announced he had contracted H.I.V. in 1991, and frequently appeared on this show.
In an episode of The Tonight Show in 1992, Stern, 72, called Hall a “moron” who “couldn’t even do stand-up comedy.” He told Entertainment Weekly in 1993, “Arsenio has no talent. Arsenio's talent is kissing ass. I can't watch those interviews. I cannot take the ass sucking that goes on on a nightly basis.”
“I’ll be honest: It hurt the business a lot. Howard has die-hard fans who do anything he says. Howard can hurt your numbers,” Hall said. “My biggest struggle was not against other talk show hosts. It was against an angry Howard.”
The Times asked why he appeared on the show in 2021. “I have pretty thick skin,” Hall said. “I heard a therapist use a word called ‘weathering’ once. When you’re Black, between the racism and hate that you experience, there’s a weathering that takes place. You build up a callus.”
During his appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Hall said that he was “the fault in that conflict” with Leno, 75. “There was a magazine that asked me about the competition with Letterman and Jay and with Jay I said, ‘I know Jay very well and it’s like the Lakers and the Clippers. The Clippers lose, but they don’t try to lose, they try to win — and I’m going to try and kick his ass,’ ” Hall said. “Of course, they put a cover out saying I’m going to kick his ass.”
While Hall and Stern did not address their conflict directly, Stern was very complimentary of Hall’s TV series. “Going back and observing your talk show, there’s some great stuff to go back there and look at,” he said. He praised especially appearances by Michael Jackson, Prince and Bill Clinton (with his saxophone) on the show. “You were delivering the f---ing goods,” he said, but noted that there was a perception he wasn’t doing enough. Hall said that when Johnny Carson left The Tonight Show in 1992, the network wanted him to inherit that audience and lean more “conservative.”
In 2020, Stern reflected on his old shows and behavior. "I'll be the first to admit. I won't go back and watch those old shows; it's like, 'Who is that guy?' But that was my shtick, that's what I did and I own it,” he said in part. “. . . I came to realize in therapy, if I'm going to be with my kids and have a successful marriage, I can't be insane, completely, 24 hours a day. I have to figure out a better way to communicate. So I evolved and changed."
In his interview with The Times, Hall noted that there is no fighting among late night hosts anymore. “We’re in a weird time where the hosts all came together to go against late night’s arch nemesis: Donald Trump. It’s like Trump kind of galvanized late night. We fought each other for numbers. Now they’re all together for a common cause. It’s very weird,” he said.
Arsenio is available at bookstores everywhere beginning Tuesday, March 31.

A spokesperson for Tyler Perry tells 11Alive News they received a notice that all workers will now be able to keep the money gifted to them, after all.
Perry donated $250,000 worth of $1,000 gift cards to support TSA employees who have worked without pay for nearly six weeks during the partial government shutdown. Many have struggled to buy groceries, gasoline, and cover expenses for necessities. Some have faced eviction.
A Perry spokesperson says they have documentation, as of Tuesday March 31, from DHS/TSA legal team saying that the situation is now resolved and everything is fine.
They are told about 100 employees returned the physical gift cards to management, but most were empty of funds. Those cards will now be given back to workers as a “memento” of Perry’s visit to the airport and staff support.
Sources in TSA said the donation from Tyler Perry was a massive boost to morale, and Perry was seen as the “team hero” during a difficult time. One TSA employee called him a "modern day Robbin Hood" and says the team will always be grateful for his kindness.
Hundreds of agents have worked without pay through a crush of security lines. At times, lines have stretched outside Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. In the midst of that, Perry's gesture came through as a meaningful lift.
Last week, Tyler Perry went to the airport with cash, hoping to distribute it to take some pressure off TSA workers. He was told he could not do that because federal rules do not allow them to receive money. He stayed to take pictures with employees and thanked them for their service while not getting paid.
The following day, his team went back with gift cards. His representative tells 11Alive they went through the proper channels at the airport and had approval from the DHS/TSA Legal Counsel. In fact, Perry’s team delivered $250,000 in gift cards to the TSA upper management to distribute to TSA employees.
On Friday, multiple sources inside the airport alerted 11Alive that managers were told to inform TSA workers to return the gift cards to their supervisors. There was confusion and disappointment. Most gift card funds had already been spent.
The response from the public was fast and strong — thousands of comments from people upset that workers couldn't accept a donation at such a critical time. Commenters hoped for a solution or change of heart.
It appears that is exactly what happened.
As for the more lasting situation facing TSA agents, an executive order by President Donald Trump to get them paid with other DHS funding sources led to payments to accounts on Monday. Officials said TSA agents have received two full paychecks but are awaiting a partial check.
On the congressional front, late last week the Senate reached a deal to fund TSA, but it was rejected by the House. Now lawmakers are home for a two-week recess.
Cardi B Says Her Haircare Line Is Not In 'Competition' With Beyonce or Rihanna
Cardi B is entering the haircare space, and she is doing it on her own terms. The rapper, 33, is set to launch Grow-Good Beauty on April 15, a line she says grew directly out of her personal hair journey and the treatments she developed at home over years of trial and experimentation.
The brand’s origin story is as personal as it gets. Cardi says she spent years mixing her own masks using family recipes and independent research after dealing with significant hair damage. The results eventually spoke for themselves, and she decided to turn what she had learned into something she could share with a wider audience.
When Cardi appeared on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast on March 31, the host brought up the obvious question. The celebrity beauty market is crowded. Tracee Ellis Ross has Pattern Beauty, Beyoncé launched Cécred in February 2024 and Rihanna built Fenty into a beauty empire. Was Cardi concerned about entering such a saturated space?
She was not. Cardi pushed back on the framing immediately, saying the question of competition misses the point entirely. For her, the only question that matters is whether a product actually works. She is not thinking about what other celebrities are doing. She is thinking about whether her formula will help people grow healthier hair.
She also went out of her way to praise Beyoncé’s line specifically, calling it genuinely impressive and saying so with full confidence. There was no ambiguity in her endorsement.
Behind the brand is something more personal than a business launch. Cardi has spoken openly over the years about being criticized for her hair, with some of that criticism tied to her background. She was born to a mother from Trinidad and a father from the Dominican Republic, and her hair texture became a topic of public commentary in ways she found frustrating and reductive.
Grow-Good Beauty is, among other things, her answer to that. She wants women of color with tighter curl patterns to understand that the concept of bad hair is a myth. Hair texture does not determine hair value. All hair is good hair, and the product she is launching is built around that belief.
Cardi has never been quiet about the lengths she has gone to in the name of hair growth. In 2022 she shared the details of her all-natural onion treatment, which she had been quietly using for some time. More recently, she added a new chapter to that story during a March appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
She revealed that she once experimented with raw garlic in her hair, which yielded unexpected and deeply unpleasant results. For six months following the treatment, she said, any time she perspired the smell was immediate and unavoidable. She described it as smelling like a pasta bowl, and she was not recommending the approach to anyone.
The story captures something essential about how Cardi arrived at Grow-Good Beauty. She did not develop the line through a boardroom or a licensing deal. She developed it by actually doing the work herself, absorbing the results, adjusting the formula and eventually getting somewhere she was proud of. Grow-Good Beauty launches April 15.

Bob's Burgers Voice Actor Seriously Injured In New Hampshire Crash
Eugene Mirman, the voice behind Gene Belcher on the hit animated series Bob's Burgers, was seriously injured in a car accident early Tuesday morning in New Hampshire. The actor was rescued from a burning vehicle after a collision at the Bedford Toll Plaza.
Initially, the identity of the person pulled from the crash was unknown, but TMZ later confirmed it was Mirman. Emergency responders found him trapped inside his car, which had caught fire following the crash. Multiple bystanders and officials quickly sprang into action to help.
A State Trooper, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, and other witnesses worked together to extract Mirman through a window of the burning vehicle. Video footage from WMUR-TV captures the flames engulfing the totaled car while rescuers worked to ensure his safety.
After being freed, Mirman was transported by ambulance to Elliot Hospital with severe but non-life-threatening injuries, according to WCVB. His current medical status has not been publicly disclosed.
Colonel Mark B. Hall praised the rescuers, stating, "Certainly, their actions were heroic in what they did. Without hesitation, they put themselves in danger to render aid to someone who was in need of it." Their quick response was crucial in preventing further harm to the actor.
Mirman has been a part of Bob's Burgers since its debut in 2011, lending his voice to Gene Belcher in all 310 episodes. The series, known for its quirky humor and memorable characters, features other voices including H. Jon Benjamin as Bob Belcher, John Roberts as Linda Belcher, Dan Mintz as Tina Belcher, and Kristen Schaal as Louise Belcher.
The show also expanded to the big screen with The Bob's Burgers Movie, which premiered in 2022. Fans and colleagues alike are hoping for Mirman's speedy recovery and have expressed their support during this difficult time
Updates on Mirman's condition will be shared as more information becomes available. Meanwhile, the incident has highlighted the bravery of those who acted to save a life under dangerous circumstances.

Terrence Howard Reflects On Producer Clash That May Have Cost Iron Man Role
Terrence Howard recently opened up about a confrontation with a producer that he believes impacted his career, possibly costing him a major role in a blockbuster film franchise.
During an appearance on the PBD Podcast, Howard discussed a tense interaction with producer Joel Silver while promoting the 2007 movie The Brave One. The dispute arose when Howard questioned why his name was not displayed alongside lead actress Jodie Foster’s on the film’s poster.
Howard recounted that Silver responded by emphasizing Foster’s position as the film’s star. “He said, ‘The reason your name isn’t above the titles is because you’re not the star of this thing. It’s Jodie,’” Howard recalled.
The conversation quickly escalated, with Howard warning Silver not to speak to him in that manner again. “I told him, ‘You have to remember I’m a man just like you. If you ever talk to me that way again, I’mma knock your teeth out,’” he said.
Howard believes that this confrontation may have had lasting consequences for his career. “Then maybe eight months later, I lose Iron Man,” he shared. “I’m sure that all of those things played their part.”
In the original Iron Man film, Howard portrayed James Rhodes, a role later assumed by Don Cheadle in subsequent installments of the franchise. The actor also recalled advice from Denzel Washington, who once told him, “Producers are trying to put money in your hands, but you won’t open them.”
This reflection sheds light on how off-screen dynamics and professional disagreements might influence casting decisions and career trajectories in Hollywood.

Aretha Franklin Told Jill Scott to Get Her '2 Hot Dogs with Cooked Onions and Mustard' When They Met
Aretha Franklin had one request for Jill Scott when they first met.
The "Golden" singer, 53, revealed that the Queen of Soul told her to get her two hot dogs with onions and mustard when they met for the first time in a March 31 episode of NPR’s Fresh Air podcast.
“Aretha Franklin sent me to get her two hot dogs with cooked onions and mustard,” Scott told Tonya Mosley, the co-host of the show, to Mosley’s surprise.
“You met her, you told her you loved her, and then she said what?” Mosley clarified.
“‘Go to the corner and get me two hot dogs with cooked onions and mustard,’” Scott recalled. “And I went.”
“I think I had the number one album in the country at the time,” Scott said. “And I went to the corner and I got those hot dogs, and I brought them back, and I just waited.”
“I don’t even think she ate them,” Scott said.
When Mosley asked Scott what she learned from that experience, she said, “I would, one, say be nicer to people,” laughing.
“Two, you gotta earn your stripes,” she said. “[Back] then I was like, ‘Aww, I wanted her to be nicer to me, to embrace me to tell me, you know, give me some advice and hold my hand a little bit, but that’s not what happened.”
“Now, I am that woman to a certain degree,” Scott said, referring to her own status in the music world. She said she now understands that Franklin was assigning her a task to see what she would do.
“Don’t waste it, don’t waste my time, don’t waste your time. It’s too valuable,” she said of what she imagined Franklin may have been thinking at the time.
“I like this,” Scott said. “This is the auntie portion; she’s a little tougher.”
“'This is good for me. It’s good for you too, if you want it,' ” the singer continued, imagining what Franklin would say.
However, many of the comments on the video were critical of the interaction. Comedian and actor Tony Baker shared his disagreement with Franklin’s ask in a comment.
“Nah. What was the point of Aretha doing that? I don’t get it. We not pledging a Sorority or Fraternity here. Just be nice to folks. Cause acting like that can create villains,” he wrote.
Another comment agreed, saying that, “earning stripes is important, but making people run meaningless errands and being mean should not be a part of it.”
Jill Scott talked with PEOPLE in a March 2026 interview about her start in the industry and how someone once tried to tell her to change who she was.

“I had somebody tell me in the beginning of my career that if I didn’t lose weight, or if I didn’t straighten my hair or whatever, that I’d never sell any records,” Scott says. “That sucked, but luckily I didn’t listen to them and decided to just continue to be myself.”
She also told PEOPLE why she took a step back from music prior to her new album To Whom This May Concern. She preserved her glow by stepping back from music amid hardships like two divorces.
"I needed time to be with my family, raise my kid to the best of my ability,” she said.
She added, "I’m in the middle of menopause right now. I’m different in ways that I didn’t intend on being different, but I’m here, and I love what I do. It’s a thrill and a privilege."

Megan Thee Stallion discharged from hospital after health scare during Broadway show
Megan Thee Stallion has been discharged from the hospital after falling "very ill" during a Broadway performance on Tuesday.
The rapper and songwriter was hospitalized Tuesday night after "experiencing concerning symptoms" during a performance of "Moulin Rouge!", a spokesperson told ABC News in a statement Wednesday.
Megan is currently starring in the Broadway show as Zidler.
"Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms," the statement continued. "Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting."
The statement thanked the star's supporters and noted Megan would resume her role in "Moulin Rouge!" on Thursday.
The "Savage" artist took to social media on Wednesday to reflect on the incident, calling it a "wake-up call."
"I've been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me," she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. "I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn't."
Megan wrote that she would take one day to "rest, reset, and take care of myself," adding that she would return to the show "stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve."
A previous statement shared with ABC News on behalf of Megan's spokesperson read, "During Tuesday night's production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated."
The statement added, "We will share additional updates as more information becomes available."
A prompt that appears on the show's ticket purchase page states that Megan will not be performing in Wednesday night's show.
Breakfast Club morning show host Loren Lorosa posted on X that was in attendance at Tuesday night's show, where Megan fell ill.
"Announcement just came on in the theatre .. they have removed Meg Thee Stallion from the show as Zidler for the rest of the night," Lorosa wrote at the time.
She added that Megan was eventually replaced by "a black male actor," and that the show continued.
Meagan Good Opens Up About Unintentional Skin Bleaching: 'I Just Looked Crazy'
Meagan Good is sharing more details about when her skin was accidentally bleached after she received a skin treatment for anti-aging.
The Think Like a Man star was on the Wednesday (April 1) episode of The Breakfast Club and revealed that she learned to ignore negative comments after unintentionally bleaching her skin.
At the time, Good sought an anti-aging treatment but was encouraged to remove her “dark spots” at the urging of an esthetician.
Good recalled telling the esthetician that her dark spots were like a “natural contour” before the skin professional told the actress that her “skin would be so clear.”
“I start using the product. I instantly see that I'm getting lighter and she's like, ‘Don't worry, just give it a few weeks. All your color will come back,’” Good explained. “I give it a few weeks, and I look so pale and so crazy.”
Good then attended a premiere in New York, and after being photographed, she appeared to be “blown out” and extremely light.
“As a Black woman, I would never do that to myself. And it just broke my heart to think that young Black girls would think that I did that or like I don't like myself,” she said. “I was like, ‘Why would I do that all of a sudden at 39 years old? That's crazy.’”
Good added that the rumors that she bleached her skin were “so humiliating” because she couldn’t prove otherwise at the time.
“I couldn't do anything. I was like, ‘I look crazy,’” she continued. “‘I literally have to just sit in this and accept that people are going to think that I did this to myself.’”
In 2020, Good appeared on Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored and shared that she felt unable to “defend” herself. In an attempt to reverse the skin treatment, the esthetician gave Good a serum that burnt and discolored her face.
“I had open flesh all over my face. My face was completely discolored and it was just it was really traumatizing,” Good said. She also confirmed that she worked with another dermatologist who successfully reversed the bleaching.

Tony Buzbee Denied In Attempt to Dismiss Lawsuit from JAY-Z
Tony Buzbee attempted to sidestep his lawsuit against JAY-Z, asking that it be dismissed. Instead, the court case will now shift from Alabama to the Empire State.
On March 31, Judge Terry Moorer declined to toss the case out, shifting the matter to the Southern District of New York.
The request for dismissal was filed in June 2025. According to Complex, Buzbee said he had no connection to the state and that it should have been filed in New York instead.
For Buzbee, New York state is not homecourt advantage. In March 2025, Buzbee withdrew from presenting a case after U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams noted that he was prohibited from practicing in the Southern District of New York. The SDNY includes New York, Bronx, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, and Sullivan counties. Any filing would require an attached denial.
In 2025, Jay-Z and his legal team amended a defamation lawsuit against Tony Buzbee and Jane Doe, whom he represented in a debunked claim. The new document reveals a $190 million loss in income, credit, and loans.
The lawsuit notes Hov “lost other contracts in the sports and entertainment space that would have generated revenues of, at least, $20 million.” Additionally, Jay states he was denied a $55 million personal credit line and his Roc Nation company was denied a $115 million loan.
“We have agreements to produce entertainment programs for certain sporting events,” the updated documents read. “After Mr. Buzbee filed the lawsuit, the media reported that other businesses could end their deals with Roc Nation, and forced one to speak out and address whether these false allegations would end our business relationship.”

Stranger Things' Noah Schnapp Goes Public with New Boyfriend, Celebrates One Month of Dating
Noah Schnapp is in a relationship!The 21-year-old actor, best known for playing Will Byers on the Netflix series Stranger Things, has gone public with his new boyfriend.
Noah took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday (April 1) to celebrate one month of dating his new guy by sharing a cute photo of them together.
“One month of us,” Noah captioned the photo with a heart emoji.
The photo features Noah with his arm wrapped around the back of his mystery man while his boyfriend has both arms wrapped around Noah‘s shoulders.
Noah publicly came out as gay back in January 2023, nearly half a year after his character Will Byers was confirmed to be gay in Stranger Things season four.
