#RHOA: Kandi Burruss Breaks Silence on Todd Tucker's Divorce Doc: 'They Did Not Choose to Do It'
Kandi Burruss says her intimate one-woman show, I Do, I Did, I’m Done, differs from ex-husband Todd Tucker’s divorce series because she collected attendees’ phones and kept the performances private.
Burruss said Tucker pitched Til Divorce Do Us Part multiple times without success and criticized him for sensationalizing private details of their marriage during its promotion.
Burruss confirmed their divorce became official around March 28; the former couple continues to co-parent Ace and Blaze.
Kandi Burruss is drawing a clear line between telling her story and turning a divorce into a public spectacle.
During a sit-down with CNN anchor Audie Cornish, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star addressed the growing conversation surrounding ex-husband Todd Tucker's upcoming project, Til Divorce Do Us Part, revealing that the series had already struggled to find a home before its current rollout.
"He's tried to pitch the show multiple times," Burruss said. "They did not choose to do it."
Her comments arrive just days after Tucker intensified promotion for the project, which promises viewers "what went down behind closed doors" during their marriage.
The series has expanded into an unlikely gathering of Real Housewives alumni and former partners, with Apollo Nida, Peter Thomas, Ralph Pittman Jr. and Dennis McKinley all appearing alongside Tucker and his divorce attorney, Randy Kessler.
Cornish admitted she wasn't exactly sold on the concept.
"The man who shall not be named—Kandi's former partner—has a new project," she joked. "Not to be a hater, but I really don't want to see the men. One of the things I loved about Real Housewives, it was centering the story of women. Many over the age of 40. And I didn't really want to know about the dudes on the side."
Burruss suggested that reaction is exactly why the project struggled to gain traction.
"Because I think a lot of people feel the way that you do," she replied.
The conversation also addressed comparisons between Tucker's project and Burruss' own one-woman production, I Do, I Did, I'm Done, which she confirmed was inspired by the end of their marriage.
Asked whether the show centered on past relationships, Burruss answered plainly: "The divorce I just came out of."
She also confirmed that the split is now final.
"Yeah, it's official," Burruss said. "March 28th or something, it was official."
But Burruss pushed back on the idea that her show and Tucker's documentary occupy the same space.
"I think the answer or the reply to it is, 'Oh, she did her own one-woman show,'" she said. "But what people don't realize about the one-woman show is, we took people's phones. I purposely did it in intimate crowds. You would have to know somebody that went or who was there to be a part of it."
That distinction has become increasingly important as Tucker's promotional campaign has grown more provocative. Earlier this month, Burruss publicly criticized her ex after he discussed intimate details of their marriage while promoting Til Divorce Do Us Part.
"A man who has already hurt me to my core is furthering the damage by choosing to sensationalize our sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame," Burruss said at the time. "What consensually happens between a husband and wife in the privacy of their marriage is exactly that—private."
The former couple, who met while filming RHOA in 2011, announced their separation in November 2025 before finalizing their divorce earlier this year. They continue to co-parent their children, Ace and Blaze, and have occasionally appeared together publicly since the split.

#HipHopNews: Kendrick Lamar Earns Highest-Grossing Touring Year By A Rapper
Kendrick Lamar has reportedly earned the highest-grossing touring year by a rapper in history.
On Thursday (Sept. 24), box office reporter ChartData announced K-Dot's latest landmark. The Grand National Tour raked in $390.7 million. The tally comes from 2.037 million tickets sold across 47 shows in 2025.
On Friday (Sept. 25), TDE's Punch reacted to the news."390 is nuts lol. Extremely grateful!" he posted on X.
"Also lol. You guys are something else," he added. "You can’t discredit Dot by saying it’s cause SZA was on the tour. Nor can you discredit SZA by falsely claiming she didn’t headline. Both things are true. Dot got the highest grossing rap tour of all time AND SZA co-headlined. lol. Another truth, they both could’ve did separate stadium tours with similar results. But chose to do it together because… FAMILY."
Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour with SZA kicked off last April and ran through December. Last November, prior to the Australian leg of Kendrick's Grand National Tour, it surpassed Drake's 2023-2024 It's All a Blur Tour as the highest-grossing rap tour of all time. Drake's trek with 21 Savage pulled in $320.5 million, with a total of 1.3 million tickets sold in 80 shows.
Earlier this month, Drake revealed he will be heading out on tour in 2027 in promotion of his Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour albums.

JAY-Z Sexual Assault Accuser Fully Recants Statement: ‘I Never Met Mr. Carter’
Last year, JAY-Z was embroiled in controversy as he was accused of sexual assault. Today, the woman has fully recanted her statement. According to Rolling Stone, the woman has entered a legal statement that her statements were false and she never actually met JAY-Z.
“Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter never raped me. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct toward me whatsoever,” the woman wrote in a declaration files in Manhattan federal court.
“There is no truth to any of my claims against Mr. Carter,” the statement read. “I understand my false accusations have caused Mr. Carter immense pain, suffering, and damage that can never be fully undone.”
In response, JAY-Z has dismissed the woman as a defendant in his lawsuit against Tony Buzbee and his law firm.
Buzbee issued a statement to Rolling Stone via email, stating, “We have multiple lawyers (at least four) who dealt with Ms. Doe long before she met me. She gave the exact same story to each. If for some reason now she is claiming she lied to us and the court, that’s new information.”
Keke Wyatt Denies ‘Extremely Serious’ Child Cruelty and Terroristic Threat Allegations After Arrest
Keke Wyatt is pushing back against reports surrounding her recent arrest in Georgia.
The R&B singer was booked into the Henry County Jail on Sept. 20 under her legal name, Ketara Wyatt Darring. She was released two days later after posting a $1,050 bond.
Initial reports said Wyatt was booked on several charges following an alleged confrontation. Those included terroristic threats, assault and third-degree cruelty to children. However, Wyatt’s representatives now say those reports do not reflect the case currently before the court.
“Contrary to information currently being circulated, the Henry County court documentation reflects one charge: simple assault,” her representatives said.
Her team specifically denied that Wyatt was charged with cruelty to children, terroristic threats and acts or aggravated assault. The statement comes as public booking information appears to conflict with the account provided by Wyatt’s representatives.
CBS News Atlanta reported that Henry County booking information listed aggravated assault and terroristic threats and acts. The entry also listed third-degree cruelty to children as a misdemeanor.
Wyatt’s representatives expressed particular concern about reports involving children.
“We are not offering excuses or asking anyone to prejudge the circumstances surrounding the case,” the statement said.
Her team said Wyatt plans to address the matter through the appropriate legal process. The child cruelty designation reported in the booking information does not necessarily allege that Wyatt physically harmed a child.
The booking entry reportedly identified the allegation as third-degree cruelty to children involving a witness. Georgia law can apply that provision when a child witnesses or hears certain alleged acts of violence.
New details about the alleged confrontation also emerged after Wyatt’s statement was released. An arrest warrant affidavit reportedly claims the incident occurred during a child custody exchange on Sept. 20.
A witness alleged Wyatt displayed a black 9mm Beretta during an argument and threatened another woman, according to reports. Three children were reportedly nearby during the confrontation.
Wyatt reportedly acknowledged having the firearm when speaking with authorities. However, she denied pointing it through a vehicle window or threatening anyone.
The allegations contained in the warrant have not been proven in court. Conflicting records leave questions about case
The case now carries two conflicting descriptions of the charges connected to Wyatt’s arrest. A Henry County booking entry reportedly lists aggravated assault, terroristic threats and acts and third-degree cruelty to children.
Meanwhile, Wyatt’s representatives maintain court documentation reflects only a simple assault charge. The team has not publicly explained whether the initial allegations were changed, reduced or declined after Wyatt’s booking.
Wyatt, 44, rose to prominence through her collaborations with fellow R&B singer Avant. Their recordings included “My First Love” and “Nothing in This World.” Both appeared on Wyatt’s debut album, “Soul Sista.”
She later expanded her career into reality television. Wyatt appeared on all three seasons of TV One’s “R&B Divas: Atlanta.” She later starred in “Keke Wyatt’s World,” which followed her career and family life.
Despite the ongoing legal matter, Wyatt’s representatives said her scheduled performances remain unchanged. Her team said she intends to fulfill her existing professional commitments while the case moves through the legal system.

We worked together and became friends during our years at the network and remained friends once we both moved on to other opportunities.”
He continued, “Her years at BET saw her host a number of shows and her sultry voice made her a staple on radio in the DC area and on Sirius. She did countless voiceover work, she sang and had parts in movies. I remember her calling me when she got a role in the Eddie Murphy movie, Distinguished Gentlemen. Lately, We would often cross paths at different conferences and events. We remembered to drop notes to each other for birthdays and holidays. During our last conversation, she told me that she and her husband would be spending more time in DC after being out west for a number of years. My prayers and best go out to him and her other loved ones. She was a sweet soul, RIP.”

Chadwick Boseman’s Widow Claims Lawsuit From Late Actor’s Family Is ‘PR Stunt’
Chadwick Boseman’s widow is pushing back against his brothers amid an ongoing legal battle over the late actor’s estate.
Taylor Simone Ledward filed a response Thursday, Sept. 24, in Los Angeles court. She disputed allegations made by Derrick and Kevin Boseman. The brothers previously petitioned to have Ledward removed as administrator of Boseman’s estate.
They filed the action on behalf of their parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman.
Ledward’s attorney, Adam Streisand, called the legal action a “baseless attack” against his client. He also described the petition as a “public-relations stunt to smear Simone in the tabloid press.”
“Simone has not only complied with the Order, but as a product solely of her own extraordinary generosity, she has gone well beyond what was required of her,” Streisand wrote.
The response claims Ledward distributed nearly all assets required under an October 2022 court order.
Boseman died without a will in August 2020 following a private battle with colon cancer. He was 43. Under the estate distribution, Ledward received 50% of the actor’s assets. His parents were each entitled to 25%.
Derrick and Kevin previously alleged Ledward failed to fully distribute the estate despite the 2022 order. They also questioned her handling of Boseman’s intellectual property, royalties and other assets.
In July, the brothers said their parents had sought answers about the estate for years.
“For years, our parents have sought clarity regarding matters connected to the estate of our brother, Chadwick Boseman, including his intellectual property and legacy,” they said.
The brothers said their parents authorized the legal action. Ledward now strongly disputes the suggestion that she withheld money from Boseman’s family.
Her filing lists several assets she says were distributed. Those include $151,558 from one bank account and another account containing $241,180.75.
The filing also lists a $40,000 life insurance policy. Additionally, 100 shares of Chadwick Boseman, Inc. were valued at nearly $3.4 million. Ledward claims only one roughly $300,000 IRA remains undistributed. Her attorneys contend the brothers’ legal action prevented that account from being distributed.
Ledward says she went beyond legal requirements
The response also highlights money Ledward says she personally provided to Boseman’s relatives. According to the filing, Ledward gave more than $300,000 of her own money to Derrick’s four children.
Her attorneys cited the payments as evidence against claims that she sought to deprive Boseman’s family. The estate also reportedly received approximately $300,000 in SAG-AFTRA residuals between 2020 and 2024.
Ledward says $150,000 was distributed to Derrick and Kevin at their parents’ request. Her attorneys also pointed toward Ledward’s work surrounding Boseman’s artistic legacy.
Those efforts include the Chadwick Boseman Foundation for the Arts and projects involving Boseman’s work. Ledward’s attorneys said those projects were structured to benefit both sides of the family.
“Simone’s generosity has been both financial and collaborative,” Streisand wrote.
“She has always included the Boseman family in her efforts to ensure Chadwick’s memory would endure and flourish long after her husband’s tragic and untimely death.”
Derrick and Kevin have maintained their legal action is about transparency and enforcing the court’s previous order. They said in July that they remain committed to protecting their parents’ interests and preserving their brother’s legacy.
Ledward is asking the court to reject the petition and allow her to remain administrator of Boseman’s estate. The court dispute comes six years after the “Black Panther” star’s death. Boseman was also known for portraying Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall during his celebrated career.

Colin Kaepernick’s Memoir ‘The Perilous Fight’ Debuts At No. 1 On New York Times Best Sellers List
Colin Kaepernick can officially add another accomplishment to his résumé.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback’s new memoir, “The Perilous Fight,” debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times Best Sellers list. The book landed atop the hardcover nonfiction rankings following its Sept. 15 release. Kaepernick celebrated the news on social media shortly after the ranking was announced.
“#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER,” Kaepernick wrote.
He also thanked readers who purchased the memoir and attended stops during his book tour.
“It’s been a long time coming,” he wrote.
The achievement comes a decade after Kaepernick’s national anthem protest became one of the biggest stories in professional sports.
“The Perilous Fight” was published by Legacy Lit, an imprint of Hachette Book Group. Journalist and author Nick Chiles collaborated with Kaepernick on the memoir.
The 288-page book traces Kaepernick’s childhood, football career and evolution as an activist. It also revisits his controversial departure from professional football. An audiobook version is narrated by Kaepernick and was released alongside the hardcover and e-book editions.
Kaepernick tells his story in his own words
Kaepernick entered the NFL after the San Francisco 49ers selected him in the second round of the 2011 draft. He eventually became the team’s starting quarterback and helped lead San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII. However, his career took a dramatic turn during the 2016 NFL preseason.
Kaepernick initially sat during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police violence against Black Americans. He later began kneeling after discussing his protest with former NFL player and Green Beret Nate Boyer.
The demonstration sparked a national debate surrounding race, policing, patriotism and athletes using their platforms for social causes. Kaepernick has not played in an NFL regular-season game since the 2016 season.
In “The Perilous Fight,” he provides his perspective on the events surrounding his protest and subsequent exit from the league.
The memoir also explores the experiences that influenced his political and social awareness. Kaepernick writes about being adopted by white parents and navigating predominantly white environments while growing up. He also discusses his growing interest in Black history and racial justice.
His reading included “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” which became influential in the development of his worldview.
Kaepernick also addresses several high-profile moments that followed his protest. That includes his relationship with the NFL and his disagreements with some prominent figures in sports and entertainment.
“The Perilous Fight” arrives as Kaepernick continues building projects outside professional football.
He founded Know Your Rights Camp, an organization focused on education and empowerment for Black and brown youth. His other ventures include Kaepernick Publishing and Kaepernick Media.
Kaepernick previously expanded his story into television with Netflix’s “Colin in Black & White.” The scripted limited series examined his teenage years and experiences surrounding race and identity. His newest project gives readers a more extensive account directly from his perspective.
The memoir also arrives roughly 10 years after his protest first drew widespread national attention. Kaepernick has continued discussing the decision during interviews surrounding the book’s release.
He told Time that he intentionally avoided becoming the only voice associated with the movement after leaving football. Kaepernick said he wanted other athletes and activists to have room to speak.
Now, readers appear eager to hear more of his own story. With “The Perilous Fight” reaching No. 1, Kaepernick’s story has found a sizable audience beyond the football field.

Kaepernick entered the NFL after the San Francisco 49ers selected him in the second round of the 2011 draft. He eventually became the team’s starting quarterback and helped lead San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII. However, his career took a dramatic turn during the 2016 NFL preseason.
Kaepernick initially sat during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police violence against Black Americans. He later began kneeling after discussing his protest with former NFL player and Green Beret Nate Boyer.
The demonstration sparked a national debate surrounding race, policing, patriotism and athletes using their platforms for social causes. Kaepernick has not played in an NFL regular-season game since the 2016 season.
In “The Perilous Fight,” he provides his perspective on the events surrounding his protest and subsequent exit from the league.
The memoir also explores the experiences that influenced his political and social awareness. Kaepernick writes about being adopted by white parents and navigating predominantly white environments while growing up. He also discusses his growing interest in Black history and racial justice.
His reading included “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” which became influential in the development of his worldview.
Kaepernick also addresses several high-profile moments that followed his protest. That includes his relationship with the NFL and his disagreements with some prominent figures in sports and entertainment.
“The Perilous Fight” arrives as Kaepernick continues building projects outside professional football.
He founded Know Your Rights Camp, an organization focused on education and empowerment for Black and brown youth. His other ventures include Kaepernick Publishing and Kaepernick Media.
Kaepernick previously expanded his story into television with Netflix’s “Colin in Black & White.” The scripted limited series examined his teenage years and experiences surrounding race and identity. His newest project gives readers a more extensive account directly from his perspective.
The memoir also arrives roughly 10 years after his protest first drew widespread national attention. Kaepernick has continued discussing the decision during interviews surrounding the book’s release.
He told Time that he intentionally avoided becoming the only voice associated with the movement after leaving football. Kaepernick said he wanted other athletes and activists to have room to speak.
Now, readers appear eager to hear more of his own story. With “The Perilous Fight” reaching No. 1, Kaepernick’s story has found a sizable audience beyond the football field.

Michael Jackson’s Half-Sister Joh’Vonnie Says Joe Jackson’s Portrayal In “Michael” Biopic Isn’t The Father She Knew
Michael Jackson’s half-sister Joh’Vonnie Jackson is opening up about her relationship with their late father, #JoeJackson, and says the man portrayed in the “Michael” biopic isn’t the dad she personally knew.
During an appearance on FOX 5 Atlanta’s “Portia,” Joh’Vonnie praised her nephew #JaafarJackson’s portrayal of Michael but admitted she wasn’t a fan of Colman Domingo’s depiction of Joe. “That’s not the Joe Jackson I experienced,” she said. Still, Joh’Vonnie acknowledged that her experience was different from that of her older siblings, explaining, “I didn’t have to deal with the young Joseph.” She also made it clear Joe wasn’t exactly a pushover with her, adding, “I got my fair share of spankings from him as well.”
Joh’Vonnie, who is the daughter of Joe and Cheryle Ann Terrell, grew up outside the household where the Jackson5 and other famous siblings were raised and has previously spoken about feeling like an outsider in the family, though she developed a close relationship with her half-sister Rebbie. She also addressed those complicated family dynamics in her memoir “Bastard Child,” which she began writing at 15 and didn’t finish until her mid-40s. Joh’Vonnie described finally telling her story as “the most cleansing thing” and defended sharing experiences that could make some relatives uncomfortable, saying, “It’s my experience, nobody else’s.”

Sabrina Carpenter Cast as Ginger Rogers Opposite Tom Holland in Fred Astaire Biopic
Sabrina Carpenter will play Ginger Rogers opposite Tom Holland's Fred Astaire in Paul King's untitled biopic, with Margaret Qualley joining as Fred's sister and first dance partner, Adele Astaire, according to Deadline.
Director Paul King said no footage of Adele Astaire dancing survives, making the challenge of bringing her and Fred's legacy to the screen impossible to imagine without Holland, Qualley, and Carpenter.
Holland revealed the project himself in December 2021 and says he wants the film's dance numbers shot the way Fred Astaire filmed them, in single takes with no doubles.
Paul King wrote the script with Steven Levenson based on Kathleen Riley's book "The Astaires: Fred & Adele," and Fred Astaire's daughter Ava Astaire McKenzie is supporting the project.
Sabrina Carpenter is set to portray half of most famous dance partnerships in film history, signing on to play Ginger Rogers opposite Tom Holland's Fred Astaire.
Margaret Qualley is joining the untitled biopic too, according to Deadline, which confirmed the two castings Friday. Qualley will play Adele Astaire, Fred's older sister and his partner on Broadway before Hollywood ever came calling.
Director Paul King put the sister at the center of the film in a statement announcing the news.
"I am thrilled and honored to have been entrusted with telling the story of Fred Astaire and his original dance partner, his big sister Adele, to the big screen," King said. "Fred left a timeless legacy of dance on film, most famously in his collaborations with Ginger Rogers, while Adele's work has been lost to history; indeed, no footage of her dancing survives. The cinematic challenge of bringing to life these icons of the 20th century is one that I could not imagine without Tom Holland, Margaret Qualley and Sabrina Carpenter by my side."
King, who directed Wonka and the first two Paddington films, wrote the script with Steven Levenson, adapting Kathleen Riley's book "The Astaires: Fred & Adele." Riley is also on board as script and story consultant.
Amy Pascal and Rachel O'Connor produce for Pascal Pictures, with Ben Holden and Josh Hyams of Lightbulb Pictures and Holland through his Billy17 banner. The Astaire family is involved as well: Fred's daughter Ava Astaire McKenzie is supporting the project, and her son Tyler McKenzie serves as consultant and co-producer.
The announcement lands nearly five years after Holland let the news slip himself, telling the Associated Press in December 2021 that the script had just arrived and that Pascal had FaceTimed him about it while he was in the bath.
Holland has since started putting in the hours, and he wants the dancing on screen to be his own, shot the way Astaire shot it, in single takes with no doubles.
"I did my first few rehearsals recently, and it both filled me with excitement and absolute dread," Holland said. "Because I've got so much work to do to try to do Fred proud."

‘Drag Race’ Star Gottmik Arrested for DUI
Gottmik has been arrested. On Saturday (September 26), TMZ reported that the 30-year-old RuPaul’s Drag Race star, whose real name is Kade Gottlieb, was arrested earlier in the month for a DUI.
Law enforcement sources said that on September 16 at 4:50pm, Burbank Police responded to a traffic collision involving a black Porsche and multiple parked vehicles. They determined that the driver of the Porsche had collided with a parked Toyota Camry, which pushed into two additional vehicles.
The source said that Gottmik was the Porsche’s sole occupant. Police say the drag queen displayed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication and was arrested for DUI. Gottmik was released the following day.
Gottmik made history as the first trans man to compete on RuPaul’s Drag Race for season 13 where he came in 3rd/4th place with fellow contestant Rosé. Gottmik returned for season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars and came in 4th place.

'90 Day Fiancé' Star Jenny Slatten's ALS Battle Worsens
The 68-year-old 90 Day Fiancé star is taking Edaravone and Riluzole to slow the disease, but her friend Penny says she is “getting weaker by the day.”
With Slatten uninsured in India and unable to travel alone, supporters have launched a GoFundMe and Stand Up for Jenny comedy benefits to help cover her care.
Jenny Slatten’s ALS battle has reached a heartbreaking new stage, with the beloved 90 Day Fiancé star now so weak that speaking has become painful—and her husband, Sumit Singh, has become her voice.
According to Page Six, the latest update came through a GoFundMe created to help cover Slatten’s medical care in India, where Singh is caring for her full-time. According to Slatten’s friend Penny, the 68-year-old reality star is “getting weaker by the day” while taking Edaravone and Riluzole, two medications intended to slow the progression of ALS. Penny said Slatten is also taking B12, melatonin and magnesium, but the treatments have left her drained.
“Jenny is getting weaker by the day,” Penny wrote, adding that Slatten now “hardly speaks” because it hurts too much.
“Sumit speaks more for her and is the main spokesperson for his wife,” she continued. “Sumit is Jenny’s main caregiver and doing a great job each day.”
Slatten and Singh were never just another franchise couple. Their relationship became one of the show’s most unlikely, stubbornly romantic storylines: an American woman and an Indian man fighting through family opposition, cultural pressure, distance, and a 30-year age gap before finally marrying in India in 2021 on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.
Slatten and Singh went public with her ALS diagnosis in May, months after she received the diagnosis in December 2025. Her symptoms reportedly began about a year earlier, including frightening choking episodes while drinking water. Since then, the couple has kept fans updated as Slatten’s condition has worsened.
Last month, the decline became impossible to miss. In a video shared with followers, Singh asked Slatten if she wanted to say something to fans. Her answer was brief and devastating: “No, I can’t talk.”
Singh then explained what was happening. “Unfortunately, the ALS is progressing and it’s starting to show more in her talk, like, it’s hard for her to talk now,” he said.
The couple has also had to defend asking fans for help. Slatten does not have medical insurance in India, where Singh is caring for her, and she previously said she did not want to become “a burden” to her children in the United States.
Singh has explained that relocating is not simple either, because getting a U.S. visa is difficult for him and Slatten is not in a position to travel alone.
That reality has turned their fundraiser into a lifeline. Penny said Slatten’s loved ones still hope additional care may improve her comfort and mobility. “There are trials that have shown great response with Acupuncture and other Holistic services that can greatly improve mobility and feeling less tired,” she wrote.
The wider 90 Day Fiancé world has already started rallying. Sarper Guven, whose own Last Resort fallout with Shekinah Garner has dominated recent franchise drama, organized Stand Up for Jenny comedy benefits to help raise money for Slatten’s care.
He previously told fans that buying tickets would support Jenny while also giving them “great fun.”
