Bobbi Althoff Cast in ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Orange County Spinoff

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Despite (or because of) the many scandals, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is a success.

Hulu’s looking to reheat their nachos with a spinoff, filming in Orange County.

Some of the women from the new show’s cast are already famous, even if they’re not household names.

And a couple of these women are arguably infamous.

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County’ is coming later this year

On Wednesday, April 22, Hulu confirmed that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will premiere later in 2026.

According to the press release, these are women whose “beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity.”

The release teased: “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”

Hulu continued: “Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield.”

The teaser added: “As this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”

Additionally, we learned the cast of this new reality series.

As the title (and the show that inspired it) might suggest, these are a lot of very creative names with equally inventive spellings.

The cast will include Bobbi Althoff, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, McCall DaPron, Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease, and Madison Fisher (formerly Bontempo).

Fisher, Pease, Higginson, Andrea, and Woods are all TikTokers and influencers.

Meanwhile, some of them are a little better known — and, at times, a little infamous.

Which of these women is already ‘famous’ in certain circles?

McCall DaPron, for example, is the sister of Mayci Neeley, who is a The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives OG.

On Wednesday, she coyly confessed to her Instagram followers that she has been “keeping a secret.”

In 2024, Aspyn Ovard gained a lot of attention when she filed to divorce her then-husband, Parker Ferris.

Why was that such a big deal? Because she filed on the same day that she announced the birth of their third child. Oof!

“15 years with you all and now we are going to be on hulu 2026!!!!!!!!!!” she cheered on Instagram.

Most controversial of all — at least, for now — is Bobbi Althoff.

Though she first gained some degree of attention on TikTok for pregnancy posting several years ago, it was in 2023 — when she launched her Really Good Podcast (that’s the name, not our appraisal) — that she went viral.

Some have accused Althoff of being some sort of industry plant. It’s not really clear what the 28-year-old podcast host brings to her interviews.

Others have accused her of lacking personality due to her flat deliveries. Which, again, reinforces the confusion over her casting.

When Hulu gives us a SLOMW: OC trailer, maybe we’ll know what the show will offer. For now, it’s clear that they’re hoping to expand upon the original series’ success.

Jake Reiner Breaks Silence on Rob & Michele Reiner Murders, ‘Unendurable’ …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It’s been over four months since Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death inside their home.

But for Jake Reiner, the grief is nearly as profound as it was the day he learned that his parents had been murdered

Nick Reiner has been arrested for his parents’ murders and is currently awaiting trial. Now, Nick’s older brother, Jake, is breaking his silence on the situation for the first time.

In an essay posted to his Substack page, Jake wrote candidly about the experience of learning that he had lost both his parents in horrific fashion.

“I was in Union Station at a celebration of life for one of my best friends, Christian Anderson, who died in October,” the 34-year-old wrote, adding:

“It was at that moment I received a call from my sister Romy telling me our father was dead. Minutes later, she called back telling me our mother was also dead.”

“The 45-minute Lyft ride from downtown to the west side was unendurable. My world, as I knew it, had collapsed. I was in a trance. The only thing I could focus on was that I needed to get to my childhood home. I needed to get to my sister. I needed to figure out what the hell just happened.”

At one point in the essay Jake wrote that “this is my story,” promising that his sister, Romy Reiner, “will tell hers in her own way and in her time.”

Jake added that he feels “robbed of so many things” over losing his parents, noting that the tragedy “simultaneously breaks my heart and enrages me.”

“Nothing can prepare you for what it feels like to lose both parents instantly at the same time,” Jake continued.

“It’s too devastating to comprehend. I still wake up every morning having to convince myself that, no, it’s not a dream. This truly is my living nightmare.”

He added that he still finds himself dwelling on “how frightened” his parents must have been in their final moments and added that they “were the last people in the world to deserve what happened to them.”

“They should be enjoying the rest of their lives peacefully while growing older together,” he wrote.

“Instead, that was ripped away from them, from me, from Romy, and there was nothing we could do about it.”

Jake called his parents’ murders “horrific” and said that every day since then “has been horrendous.”

He eventually referenced Nick by saying that his brother is “at the center” of the tragedy.

“We lost more than half of our family that night in the most violent way imaginable,” Jake wrote. “It’s almost too impossible to process.”

Jake said he’s aware that “people have questions” about Rob and Michele’s deaths, and he promised that “some of those answers will come in time.”

“But some parts of this belong only to our family. And keeping them private is the only way to protect what little remains of something that was taken from us,” he wrote.

Drew Sidora Claims Ex-Husband Took Half of Her ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As we previously reported, the Drew Sidora-Ralph Pittman divorce is getting messier by the day.

Earlier this week, Sidora accused Pittman of beating their child.

Now, she’s alleging that he hustled her out of half her cash even after she helped him land a lucrative job with Bravo.

In (alleged) texts between Drew and Ralph that were submitted as evidence, Sidora levels some shocking accusations at Pittman over their financial situation.

The judge in their case has ordered Drew to vacate the exes’ marital home by the end of May.

She claims she can’t afford to relocate, and will wind up homeless if she’s forced to move out.

“I most definitely cannot afford 9K of household expenses at this time,” she asked her ex on April 13 (per TMZ), adding:

“Are you going to pay for half of the groceries as well as half of the kids’ expenses for the month?” Ralph asked.

“Good morning. I … believe this is very generous as you haven’t contributed anything towards the home for a number of years,” Ralph clapped back, adding:

“Your attorney should be advising you but if you don’t pay, you will be in contempt.”

“Ralph, how can you say I haven’t given you money toward the house in years? I’ve given you 50% of my money for Real Housewives and all along you were getting paid directly from bravo as well!” Sidora replied.

“I gave you 50% of my endorsement deals … and my movies. Let’s talk about how you took $300,000 out of my money I received personally on my personal injury settlement.”

Drew went on to accuse Ralph of failing to keep up with the mortgage payments on the house they bought together.

“You’re making stuff up again so I won’t entertain,” Pittman replied.

Clearly, this situation is getting messy.

For now, these two are at least being civil with one another in their text exchanges.

But with all the allegations that have been flying back and forth, that probably won’t be the case for much longer.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Jelly Roll Accused of Issuing Death Threat to Comedian Nicole Arbour

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Jelly Roll has been feuding with controversial comedian Nicole Arbour for quite some time now.

And now, the beloved artist is facing a serious accusation this week, as comedian Arbour claims he made a death threat against her during a recent encounter.

According to TMZ, the dispute appears to be part of what police described as an “ongoing online back and forth” between the two.

A representative for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department told the outlet, “No charges have been filed and there is no current investigation underway on the part of MNPD.”

The allegation stems from an incident report filed on March 1, in which Arbour reportedly told deputies she had been dealing with “ongoing issues” involving Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, as well as others associated with him.

According to the report, Arbour said she turned over video footage that she claims captured the incident.

Deputies reportedly reviewed that footage and identified Jelly Roll and another man in the clip.

Per TMZ’s reporting, Arbour alleges that the confrontation centered on a prior charity event where she had a camera.

She claims that during the exchange, Jelly Roll said that if he saw her with the camera, “he would kill her.” Deputies noted hearing the alleged remark themselves while reviewing the video.

The accusation comes amid a larger and increasingly public feud between the comedian and the Grammy-winning artist. TMZ reports that Arbour has recently accused Jelly Roll’s team of attempting to silence her with what she described as a “hush money” agreement, as well as threatening legal action if she refused to sign it.

Despite the severity of the claim, police have made clear that no active case is currently being pursued.

For now, there are no charges, no announced investigation, and no indication from authorities that the matter is escalating beyond the complaint already on file.

“As you’re probably aware, there appears to be an ongoing online back and forth between the two. No charges have been filed and there is no current investigation underway on the part of MNPD,” says a rep for the police department.

This is not the first time that Arbour has gone public with her dislike of Jelly Roll. The controversial comic — who has a long history of celebrity feuds — has already recorded a diss track about Mr. Roll titled “Cosplay Christian.”

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Hulk Hogan Reveals Shocking Fentanyl Habit In Final Interview

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Back in July of 2025, Hulk Hogan passed away unexpectedly.

Now, a controversial Netflix documentary is revealing new information about the wrestling legend’s final days.

In his final interview, which is just now being made public, Hogan — whose real name was Terry Bollea — revealed that at one point, he was consuming a potentially lethal amount of fentanyl on a daily basis.

“I was taking 80 milligram fentanyls, two in the morning, stuffing them under my gums…I had two 300-milligram patches of fentanyl on my legs, and they gave me six 1,500 milligram fentanyl lollipops to eat,” Hulk says in the doc, which is currently available for streaming.

“You should be dead. We have never seen a human being take this much fentanyl,” a pharmacist told the wrestler at one point.

The heavy drug consumption began in 2009 when Hogan began competing for the TNA wrestling organization.

His divorce from wife Linda Hogan had financially devastated Hulk and left him with little choice but to step back into the ring.

Unfortunately, he was in his late fifties by then, and he quickly realized that his body could no longer sustain the sort of grueling workouts and performances that he has endured in his younger days.

“His back was in so much pain,” Hogan’s friend and former manager Eric Bischoff recalls in the documentary.

“I would literally have to go to his hotel, help him get out of bed, get into the shower,” to get ready to appear at events, “that he was contractually obligated to do.”

In interviews that took place just weeks before his death at the age of 71, Hogan revealed that he was still in a tremendous amount of pain.

“I feel okay but it’s a pain,” he says about his health. “I have my son take the tops off water bottles for me, because I can’t turn them.”

He explained in the documentary that the situation is “kind of embarrassing,” but it “keeps me humble.”

As with much of his life, Hogan’s final days were defined by personal strife, with his daughter, Brooke Hogan, being written out of his will and later revealing that she and her father were unable to heal their fractured relationship ahead of his death.

Hulk Hogan: Real American is currently available on Netflix.

Darrell Sheets May Have Been Cyberbullied Ahead of Suicide; Police to Investigate

Reading Time: 2 minutes

On Wednesday, we reported on the news that Darrell Sheets had died at the age of 67.

The Storage Wars star is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Now, police are investigating the events leading up to Sheets’ death, as they have reason to believe that online harassment may have played a role.

Sheets was found dead in his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Now, authorities in that town say they’re looking into claims that the reality TV vet had become a victim of vicious cyberbullying.

“We are aware of these cyberbullying accusations, and that is a part of the active investigation,” said a spokesperson for the department.

Little is known about the circumstances of the alleged bullying, but we’re sure that more will be revealed as the investigation progresses.

A spokesperson says that on Wednesday, police responded to a call about “a reported deceased individual.”

“Upon arrival, officers located a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” read the press release.

“The male was pronounced deceased on scene, and the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation,” the spokesperson continued, adding:

“The body was ultimately turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s office for further investigation. The male subject has been identified as Darrell Sheets, a 67-year-old resident of Lake Havasu City, and Darrell’s family has been notified.”

No official cause of death has been revealed, but People and other outlets were quick to report that Sheets appeared to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

It might be a long time before we know more about Sheets’ final hours, but in the meantime, his former Storage Wars colleagues are among the many paying tribure on social media.

“I’m at a loss for words! I’ve known Darrel Sheets for many years. I’m just so very sorry, to hear the circumstances of his passing. My heart hurts for Brandon, Zoe, and Kimber,” Brandi Passante wrote on Instagram, adding:

“I unfortunately lost a parent and a brother to similar situations. I would like to say to everyone, if you are struggling, if you feel hopeless or like no one cares. I assure you they do!! You are not alone.

“Please reach out for help. You are not taking your pain away, you are transferring it to someone else. The grief from suicide is endless. There is always help.”

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please call or text 988 for help.

Mike Vrabel to Seek Therapy, Miss Part of NFL Draft Following Dianna Russini Cheating …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Cheating scandals are usually pretty straightforward:

Two people get accused, the truth comes out, and everyone proceeds from there.

But in the case of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini, it almost seems like they can’t decide if they cheated or not.

Tennessee Titan’s Head Coach Mile Vrabel speaks on stage to the crowd during SiriusXM Hosts Draft Week Party At Margaritaville Featuring The Highway’s “Music Row Happy Hour” And SiriusXM NFL Radio’s “Movin’ The Chains” on April 24, 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Jason Davis/Getty Images for SiriusXM)

In case you missed it, Vrabel and Russini were spotted hugging and holding hands while they were both staying at a luxury resort in Arizona last month. That might be a problem, as they’re both married to other people.

In the aftermath, Russini resigned from her post at The Athletic, but in her resignation letter, she continued to deny any wrongdoing.

Now, Vrabel is moving in a similarly confusing direction.

While he has yet to admit that his relationship with Russini was inappropriate, Vrabel revealed this week that he will be checking into counseling and will miss the third day of this weekend’s NFL Draft as a result.

“As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization, and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend,” Vrabel told ESPN.

“This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.”

Vrabel initially dismissed the cheating allegations as “laughable.” When asked about those comments in a recent press conference, he was quick to sidestep the question.

“I appreciate the question. I’m going to focus on our football team,” he said.

“I think I’ve addressed what I felt like was important. So, we’ll be focusing on our football team and the importance of teaching these guys, bringing a new team together, 13 new players,” Vrabel continued, adding:

”I’ve had some difficult conversations with people that I care about. My family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive.”

So Vrabel is having “hard conversations,” and he’s missing important team events in order to check into counseling, but he still won’t admit to any wrongdoing?

This might not be the high character path that he thinks it is. As a two-time NFL Coach of the Year winner, Vrabel probably knows that, unlike Russini’s, his job is safe.

But that doesn’t mean his bosses are thrilled with his handling of this situation.
