Sarah Ferguson is in a tough spot.
Like so many other powerful people, Ferguson’s name appears in the Epstein files multiple times.
And we now know that she enjoyed quite a close relationship with the deceased sex trafficker.
Emails between Ferguson and Epstein reveal that she lied when she claimed that she had cut off contact with him after his 2008 conviction of soliciting a minor for prostitution.
One exchange indicates that Sarah took her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to have lunch with Epstein just five days after his release from prison.
Not surprisingly, Ferguson has been dropped by the charities she was working with, and her contract to write a children’s book has been canceled.
Now, it seems, the 66-year-old former duchess (when her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, was stripped of his titles, Sarah lost hers as well) is reportedly worried about how she’s going to make ends meet.
“I need to get back to work. I need money,” Ferguson recently remarked to a friend, according to The Daily Mail.
Now, Sarah’s not talking about getting a job in an office.
No, she’s planning to make a comeback and continue earning money on the strength of her fame.
And it seems she’s aware that in order for that to happen, she would first need to sever all ties with her disgraced ex.
Yes, Sarah once described herself and Andrew as “the happiest divorced couple in the world.”
But more recently, she reportedly told a friend, “When I come back I am going to have to put some distance between myself and Andrew.”
Now, if you’re thinking “too little, too late,” you’re not alone.
In fact, it seems that Sarah is currently persona non grata in her old social circles.
“Sarah is upset that their names have apparently been taken off the guest lists for red-carpet and charity events,” says the source.
But all hope is not lost. You see, Sarah knew Jeffrey Epstein like few others. In one of her emails, she revealed that Epstein had a secret child, a fact that’s seemingly not mentioned anywhere else in the files.
So if Sarah wants to cash in, she could always just write a scathing tell-all memoir.

Riley Green has already confirmed that he’s going to be making his acting debut in a TV show sometime soon, but he has yet to share any specific details. Luckily, some eagle-eyed fans may have just figured out the secret he’s been keeping.
Earlier this week, the trailer for Season 1 of the new Yellowstone spinoff series, MARSHALS, dropped, giving the first look at the action-packed drama set to unfold in the story that finds Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. The first season will consist of 13 episodes that follow Kayce as he embarks on a new chapter after what appears to be the loss of his wife, Monica (played by Kelsey Asbille), leaving him with just his son Tate (Brecken Merrill).
Based off the scenes strung together in the trailer, he uses his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to join the U.S. Marshals. With all the criminal activity that has moved into Montana, Kayce and his teammates, including Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means), will work together to defend their land.
The tension ramps up when Kayce reconnects with a former SEAL teammate, and together with his Marshal unit, they hunt a bomber threatening Broken Rock Reservation, leading to a high-stakes showdown with an armed anti-government militia.
Amid all the chaos and violence, fans think they spot Riley Green making an appearance during a rare quiet moment around a campfire. The actor, believed to be the country star, wears a cap that hides most of his face, making it hard to confirm. But with a guitar in hand and his recent acknowledgment of his venture into the acting world, it seems likely that it really is him.
Back in December, the Alabama native told Country Now that he had to remain fairly tight lipped about what he had in the works.
“I need to actually sit down and talk to somebody about what I’m allowed to say… I’ll just guess I’m allowed to say that I have done some acting, and it’s a show, and it’s going to be airing sometime fairly soon.”
He also shared that finding time for this exciting new experience was challenging with all his travel and touring, but once on set, it all came pretty naturally to him.
“As far as actually on set acting and kind of being there and getting into that head space, I felt like it came sort of natural to me.”
More recently, Green shared an update that included a pretty undeniable hint about his role in MARSHALS. Speaking with Country Now and other outlets yesterday at the BMI-hosted No. 1 party, he opened up about his growing interest in stepping out of his comfort zone and exploring opportunities that could build his career beyond the stage.
“That may be an avenue for me to dial back my life on the road if I’m doing something else that’s also kind of building my career,” he admitted. “And I certainly think acting can do that. You look at what the shows like Yellowstone have done for the Western lifestyle and how big country music I think is becoming big in other countries because of shows like that. So it’s definitely something I’m interested in and we may or may not see something like that.”
Fans will finally learn the truth as the new Taylor Sheridan-created series unfolds, premiering Sunday, March 1 (8:00–9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.

Hoarding is complex. It’s emotional, it can be a trauma response, and it is often a product of poverty.
Which of these is behind the state of Tori Spelling’s sprawling Calabasas home?
Tori both is and is not rich. She is also a mother of five children.
But her friend is staging a mini-intervention, warning that she needs help. Tori agrees.
Her home these days is a pit of chaos
You may recall that, a few years ago, Tori and her five kids were hopping from home to home.
They spent time living in a motel. They even spent time in an RV park.
These days, however, they’ve upgraded.
Tori and her chldren are living in a 3,100 square foot Calabasas rental home. They’ve been there since March 2024.
(Yes, it is expensive — to the tune of $12,000 per month in rent alone)
On the Friday, February 6 episode of Tori’s misSpellings podcast, friend and co-host Amy Sugarman staged a mini-intervention.
Tori explained that her home is currently a mess because of her (recent) bout of illness.
Amy pushed back on that idea — telling Tori that maybe the “disorganized” state of her home contributed to her getting sick.
Tori showed Amy a photo of the living room. She explained that she has turned it into her “gifting suite.”
Amy expressed her alarm, saying: “Tori, this is not good.” It is February, and Tori’s Christmas tree was still up.
The house is nice, but is in urgent need of tidying
Amy was quick to emphasize that the home has a lot of potential beneath the clutter.
“You can see the bones in here,” she pointed out. “Like the shelves could be really pretty, the living room could be really pretty.”
Amy praised Tori: “You have beautiful things.”
But then she acknowledged: “Like, it’s borderline hoarder, I’m not gonna lie.”
Tori then confessed that she has “stopped having people over” because of the state of her home.
According to Tori, this state of chaos is a new development for her.
“When Dean and I were together and lived together, I was able to have a house that was presentable because he wouldn’t live like that,” she explained.
“We were working at different times,” Tori continued, “so I had downtime when he’d work.”
She admitted: “My busy, chaotic work and children lifestyle is not gonna change.” (Not with that attitude, it won’t)
Tori then revealed: “In fact, in the next year, there’s gonna be things coming up, it’s gonna be escalated.”
Managing her life as a solo parent at this age is an adjustment
“So I need to be on my A game,” Tori emphasized. “And once someone comes in and does all this, yes, I can maintain it if I have someone helping me.”
Amy gently told her: “I do think you need help. This is like, chaos.” It sounds like Tori is overwhelmed by her life in several ways.
Additionally, it sounds like she developed the habit of cleaning for someone else — in this case, for ex-husband Dean McDermott.
If you’re cleaning for someone else, be it your mother, your spouse, your kids, then you’ll only remain tidy as long as they are in the picture.
As with so many things in life, keeping an ordered home requires intrinsic motivation. You need to want to keep your home in order on your own terms.
(But also, Tori has five children and is a working mom in a single-parent household — not only is this not a moral failing, but it’s an understandable one)

President Donald Trump on Thursday continued to personally attack Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt over a debacle regarding the upcoming annual governors’ weekend in Washington.
“We will soon have a Governor in Oklahoma who knows how to accurately write a Press Release to the Public, in this case, to state that I invited, not happily, almost all Democrat Governors to the Governor’s Dinner at the White House,” Trump wrote in a Thursday Truth Social post. “Stitt, a wiseguy, knew this, but tried to get some cheap publicity by stating otherwise.”
Trump’s latest criticism against the Republican comes after Stitt, who serves as chair of the National Governors Association, became embroiled in a back-and-forth over whether Democrats would be invited to the routinely bipartisan governors event. Stitt at one point announced that a bipartisan business meeting with the president would be removed from the NGA’s agenda for the weekend because the White House said Democrats would be excluded from the event.
After a conversation with Trump, Stitt informed governors on Wednesday that all governors would be invited to the meeting, attributing the dispute to a “misunderstanding in scheduling,” according to a letter viewed by POLITICO.
But that wasn’t enough to salve the president’s displeasure: In a Wednesday afternoon social media post — after Democrats had begun receiving invitations to the meeting — Trump took to Truth Social to lament that “as usual with him, Stitt got it WRONG!”
All governors were welcome at the event, Trump wrote, except two Democrats: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore — the latter of whom had already received a formal invitation to the meeting at the time of the post, according to a person familiar with the matter.
In the Thursday morning post, Trump took credit for Stitt’s victory in his last race for governor, writing that the Republican “was massively behind his Opponent in his previous Election for Governor” and “called me to ask for help.”
Trump added: “I Endorsed him (Barely!), and he won his Race,” but the president eagerly anticipated the arrival of the governor’s successor. Stitt is term-limited and cannot seek another term when his current one expires in 2027.
A spokesperson for Stitt’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and a spokesperson for the NGA declined to comment on the post.
Stitt’s position atop the NGA has put him at odds with the president on at least one other occasion, when the Oklahoma Republican broke with his party to criticize the administration’s cross-state National Guard deployments last year.
The dispute regarding the upcoming NGA weekend has reignited tensions within the association, with 18 Democratic governors vowing to boycott a bipartisan dinner over the White House’s handling of the invitations.
With regard to the event, Trump wrote Thursday: “I’ll see whoever shows up at the White House, the fewer the better!”

It’s been nearly two weeks since the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, and her family is still desperate for answers.
Thankfully, police now appear to be zeroing in on a possible kidnapping suspect.
The first major break in the case came earlier this week, when investigators obtained video of a masked man at Nancy’s door on the night of her abduction.
No part of the man was visible except for his eyes and facial hair, but the video was revealing in other ways.
For one, the suspect appears to be an amateur rather than a career criminal (at one point, he attempts to cover up the lens of Nancy’s Nest camera using shrubbery plucked from her yard).
And now, investigators have used details of the suspect’s clothing and accessories to trace his activity in the days leading up to the disappearance.
As TMZ reports, the suspect’s backpack — a Walmart Ozark Trail Hiker — has been especially useful as a source of information.
Using security cameras from Nancy’s neighbors, police were able to find footage of a man wearing what appears to be the same backpack just minutes before Nancy was abducted.
The footage was shot at 1:53 am on the morning of February 1, and it shows the suspect trying unsuccessfully to force open a gate and enter a backyard.
Nancy’s Nest camera was activated by the presence of the man at her door at 2:12 am.
That means the suspect would have had 19 minutes to drive the five miles, put on his mask, and approach the door.
It seems unlikely that two men were prowling around Tucson with similar-looking backpacks on the same night — meaning the guy who was tampering with the gate was probably the same guy who was seen outside Nancy’s house.
So the good news is that the police are that much closer to zeroing in on their man.
The bad news is that if the man was out prowling in search of easy targets, he’s probably not an experienced kidnapper — which means it’s less likely that Nancy is alive and well and being held for ransom somewhere.
As Nancy’s daughter — Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie — has pointed out in her pleas to the public, Nancy is 84 years old and relies on a pacemaker and multiple daily medications.
She’s now been without those meds for 12 days.
The family has received ransom notes demanding $6 million in Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy’s safe return.
They’ve been skeptical about the authenticity of those notes, and it’s looking more and more like they were right to be.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
