Robyn Brown from "Sister Wives" recently made some off-putting comments about her ex-sister wives Janelle, Christine, and Meri. According to OK, during the third part of the "Sister Wives: One on One" special, Robyn speculated about why Kody's other marriages didn't work out, and it was an insult directed at the wives. She said, "When I came into this family, I knew and I saw when there's stretch marks and there's weight gain ... And there's like — you're being stagnant in your marriage and there's fights and money problems or whatever it is ... He still had this romance going with each of them." So she's fat-shaming them, and not just that, but for having kids? Robyn herself may have neglected to notice she has put a few pounds on since marrying Kody, so to say his marriages to the other three failed because of their weight gain is rude, uncalled for, and more.
In the meantime, Kody and Meri announced on Instagram yesterday that they are officially splitting up, but Meri's not here for those hating on Kody. She said she has "peace in her heart" and asked fans to "please refrain from congratulating me on the breakup of my marriage" adding, "I am not, and pray that I never will be, in a place where I will enjoy making, or seeing you make, rude and demeaning comments about him."
TikTok star and YouTuber Bryce Hall was kicked out of a nightclub in Vegas, and he didn't go quietly, using his boxing experience against the security guards. As you can see at tmz.com, it took four guards to take him down, and another four or so to come watch. He'll be heading to court to face some charges over it. No word on what caused him to get him and his friend to get kicked out. The two had been at the club for a Calvin Harris performance and had even been invited up to the DJ booth.
Ben Affleck was spotted at the drive-thru of a Dunkin' in Medford, Massachusetts, but not placing an order – he was working the drive-thru. People were surprised to see Ben as the employee handing them their frothy beverages and bagels.

"Yellowjackets" star Christina Ricci and her ex, James Heerdegen, have been ordered by a judge to take a parenting class for young children. In the meantime, the judge ordered that her ex not be allowed to take their son for overnights anymore until the next hearing in March. The divorce has been ugly, and even though the two had agreed to joint legal custody of their son, it sounds like not all the problems have been resolved, according to radaronline.com. On a more positive note, "Yellowjackets" season two kicks off March 24, and Elijah Wood from "Lord of the Rings" is joining the cast.
Page Six says that Beyoncé invited Britney to appear in an upcoming music video, but it's not happening anymore. No word on why. The two worked together, sort of, in 2004, singing "We Will Rock You" in a Pepsi commercial. In other Britney news, Paris Hilton insisted she didn't Photoshop Britney into a pic of the two of them with Cade Hudson at his birthday party this past weekend, but now Britney has posted on Instagram that she doesn't know anything about the pic and hasn't been to a birthday party in years.

There's been a lot of talk lately about nepotism in Hollywood, and Tom Hanks has weighed in with his opinion. In his upcoming film, Tom's son Truman plays a younger version of Tom's character. On top of that, Tom's wife, Rita Wilson, co-wrote and performed an original song for the movie and also produced the film alongside Tom. While speaking to Reuters, Tom explained, "Look this is a family business. This is what we've been doing forever. It's what all of our kids grew up in. If we were a plumbing supply business or if we ran the florist shop down the street, the whole family would be putting in time at some point, even if it was just inventory at the end of the year." Despite the family's famous last name, Tom said, "Doesn't matter what our last names are. We have to do the work in order to make that a true and authentic experience for the audience."
Logan Paul has defended himself after being accused of abandoning his pet pig. Animal rescuers were alerted to an abandoned pig in rough shape in a field, and instantly, social media users recognized the pig as Pearl, belonging to Logan Paul. According to The Gentle Barn animal sanctuary, the pig was lucky to be alive. She's now okay and receiving great care. TMZ posted an email from Logan where he's thanking The Gentle Barn for saving and caring for Pearl, but he insists he had found what he believed to be a good home for her before her rescue. In the email, he wrote, "It's shocking and heartbreaking to hear the state she was found. I wanted to reach out personally and say thank you for taking her in."

Hundreds of Swifties are reportedly trying to save Taylor Swift. Not the real Taylor – it's a cardboard cut-out that has been displayed for the past five years in the window of a home Manchester, England that can be seen by everyone commuting by. The people who live there are moving, and they recently tweeted, "FYI if anyone wants to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Castlefield it costs £950pm and comes with a FREE cardboard cut-out of Taylor Swift." They've now gotten "hundreds of private messages" from people willing to rent the apartment to "save Taylor." They followed up saying, "We are confident we can find a tenant who will keep Taylor exactly where she is." It must be so moving for Taylor to have fans that are so devoted to her that they're even protective of her paper form.
