We have tragic news to report from the world of reality TV today.

Robert Cosby Jr. — the son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby — has passed away.

He was just 23 years old.

News of Robert’s death comes courtesy of a Salt Lake City Police Department report obtained by TMZ.

A spokesperson tells the outlet they responded Monday night to a call for a “full arrest/medical emergency.”

Robert’s cause of death has not been revealed, but police say they responded to a call for an overdose and found that the victim had already passed away when they arrived.

“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace,” Mary said in a statement.

“We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.”

News of Robert’s passing comes just two months after his wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce.

Alexiana filed back in November, while Robert was briefly in jail for allegedly violating her restraining order against him.

Paperwork obtained by People stipulated that Robert would not be allowed to “harass, intimidate or disturb the peace of the other party, by any means, including electronically commit domestic violence or abuse against the other party or a child, use the other party’s name, likeness, image, or identification to get credit, open an account for service, or obtain a service, cancel or interfere with telephone, utility, or other services used by the other party, cancel, modify, terminate, change the beneficiary.”

He was taken into custody after allegedly violating a temporary pretrial protective order.

“Today Robert Cosby took responsibility for the mistakes he has made and the pain he has caused his ex-wife and her family,” Robert’s attorney Clayton Simms said at the time.

“Robert was slow to recognize that his marriage was over. He continued to make contact with his ex-wife in an effort to reconcile. He now realizes that the relationship is over and he must move on.”

Obviously, details are scarce at the moment, but this is an unspeakable tragedy for one of Bravo’s most beloved families.

Our thoughts go out to Robert’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

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

Almost everyone misses him dearly.

In the wake of Eric Dane’s tragic passing, countless former colleagues have paid tribute to the late actor.

One former background actress from Grey’s Anatomy, however, remembers a very different man.

Accusing him of playing a role in the downfall of her career, she’s calling Dane “a bully and an a-hole.”

Not everyone feels the same about the late actor

Laura Ann Tull wrote on Threads, the Meta-owned attempt to replace Twitter after the latter’s fall, in response to reports on Dane’s passing.

Responding to Variety, Tull condemned the late actor as a man who “was a bully and an a-hole.”

This is not a popular sentiment in any sense.

Her dislike of the late actor stems from when the two both appeared on Grey’s Anatomy.

He was prominently introduced as McSteamy, where Tull was a background actress — an extra. She worked on the show, she says, for about three years.

“He was a coward who abused me,” Tull announced in a series of posts. “Bullied me. Made fun of me.”

Naturally, she received a not-insignificant amount of pushback from other denizens of Threads.

“He just died,” Tull acknowledged. “I only wish he’d apologized & admitted what he did.”

What did he do?

According to Tull, Dane interfered with her ability to work, possibly getting her let go from Grey’s Anatomy. This, she says, upended her career.

Did she get him ‘fired’ from his most famous job?

Tull acknowledged that Dane had passed away — but was unwilling to walk back her words or sentiments.

“His dying doesn’t change [the] destruction he caused me,” she wrote in one post.

Tull revealed that she had, at one time, intended to pursue legal action against him.

She also alleged that she is the reason “why he was fired from Grey’s.”

If there is any evidence of this, she did not provide it. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, Dane’s 2012 departure was due to a combination of budgetary and creative choices.

To be entirely honest, parts of Tull’s thread of posts are a little difficult to follow.

It sounds like she believes that Dane spoke ill of her behind her back, doing lasting harm to her reputation on set and then to her career.

Tull has been talking about this for years.

She apparently received the label “weird” on set and blamed Dane for it.

However, she has admitted that she and Dane never spoke directly to each other.

How could one person remember the man so differently than everyone else?

It is possible that Tull’s impressions of Dane are factual. If so, it is possible that she is not the only person who had an issue with the actor, but that others have kept quiet.

(Dane, incidentally, has acknowledged that he struggled with prescription medication around that time.)

We can also consider that Tull — who by her own admission never spoke to the man — may have perceived him as an enemy, and (perhaps through misinformation told to her by third parties) allowed this belief to fester over time, but in error.

Unfortunately, we can neither prove nor disprove Tull’s account. It seems unlike that anyone from the series is going to back her up — but we would be interested if one of his former co-stars chooses to suprise us.

Some people die and are unfairly lionized by people who either did not know them, have bad intention, or both. But it is also possible for a kind person to die and be condemned.

It seems unlikely that Tull or Dane’s loved ones are going to be able to reconcile their views of Dane. Probably best if they do not try.

Bill Gates was one of many wealthy and powerful men whose names appeared in the Epstein files.

And now the billionaire Microsoft founder is coming clean about his past sexual indiscretions.

Speaking with staff from his philanthropic organization on Tuesday, Gates confessed that he carried on affairs with two different women during his marriage to Melinda French Gates.

“It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein,” Gates said, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal (via CBS News).

“I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made.”

Gates went on to insist that he neither engaged in nor witnessed any “illicit” sexual activity during his friendship with Epstein.

“I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” he said today.

According to the Journal, Gates confessed that “did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events, and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities.”

Gates first met Epstein in 2011, well after the disgraced financier had finished serving a prison sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Speaking with the Wall Street Journal earlier this year, Gates acknowledged that he knew about some “18-month thing” (referring to the length of Epstein’s sentence) but claimed that he did not know the nature of his crimes.

“Knowing what I know now makes it, you know, a hundred times worse in terms of not only his crimes in the past, but now it’s clear there was ongoing bad behavior,” Gates said.

Gates admitted that his former wife was “skeptical” of Epstein from the very beginning.

Though they divorced in 2021, Bill and Melinda’s relationship has come under scrutiny in recent months thanks to emails found in the Epstein files.

In 2013, Epstein sent emails to himself in which he alleged that Bill had “sex with Russian girls” and contracted a sexually transmitted infection that required antibiotic treatment.

Epstein then claimed Gates sought to “surreptitiously give” antibiotics to his Melinda for fear that he had spread the infection to her. Bill has denied these allegations.

Speaking with an NPR podcast host earlier this month, Melinda said that she feels “an unbelievable sadness” when she thinks of Bill Gates’ relationship with Epstein.

“For me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up, right? Because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage,” she said.

Following the arrest of Prince Andrew and other prominent British public figures, no Americans have faced legal consequences after their names and images were found in the Epstein files.

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

Healing can be a lengthy process.

Tori Roloff has shared photos showcasing a moment that many thought would never happen:

A return to Roloff Farms.

Little People, Big World fans have questions. Tori’s talking about feelings — and how far things have come.

Who expected her to return to the farm?

On Saturday, February 21, Tori took to her Instagram page to share photos of a very familiar location.

Who among us would not instantly recognize Roloff Farms?

“For the first time in almost 4 years,” she began her caption, “I sat where @zroloff07 and I were married.”

Tori expressed: “It brought me so much joy to sit and look out over this very familiar field.”

She acknowledged that this is a sight “that holds so many beautiful memories for me.”

Simply visiting did not mean that Tori was pretending that past conflicts never took place.

“There has been so much hurt that’s happened at the farm,” she acknowledged.

“But for the first time in years,” she admitted, “I felt so happy to be able to visit and reminisce on the good times.”

Tori continued: “And just be thankful for what God has provided our family with.”

She did not specify when she took the snaps. But fans have speculated on when she made this visit.

How recent was this visit?

One fan theory is that Tori snapped these pics in November of last year.

The Roloff family got together for Thanksgiving 2025 — though not quite everyone could make it.

“A lot to be Thankful for…. counting my many blessings,” Matt Roloff wrote on Instagram at the time.

“We missed Zach and Jackson that are traveling for an international LP sporting event,” he acknowledged. “Molly lives in Northern Washington.”

Matt then gushed: “Thanks for all my daughter in laws for making this such a special Thanksgiving!!”

Sure enough, you can see Tori and Isabel and even Audrey in the photo.

(Tori and Isabel were as far as they could reasonably be from Audrey, which is neither unexpected nor unreasonable.)

Keep in mind that Tori did more than just journey from Washington to Oregon for a visit.

In 2021, the saga of the sale of Roloff Farms caused a painful family rift. Zach and Tori left the state and the family show.

Visiting doesn’t mean that all is well. But visiting and posting about it likely means that Tori, and perhaps others, have hope of further reconciliation one day.

What changed?

Many longtime Little People, Big World fans have speculated about the timing of the family patching things up.

See, last year, the shocking split between Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler took many by surprise.

Did Caryn’s exit herald some mended fences? If so, why?

Fans have a lot of guesses, but they may have more to do with their opinions of Caryn than they do with any real insight into the Roloff family’s shifting dynamics.

Regardless, we’re happy for Tori. Making peace with any part of the pain from your past can help you enjoy the present a bit more.

Tammy Slaton is not in a terrific place these days.

But at least the reality star is open to talking about it.

On the February 24 episode of 1000-Lb Sisters, Tammy met up with sibling Chris and Misty after these two returned from a family vacation to New Orleans.

The 39-year old skipped the trip due to the ongoing tension with Amy Slaton, confessing on air that being around her loved ones of late has made her anxiety worse.

“I’m going to the therapist,” Tammy told her brother and sister after they asked what she was up to while they were gone.

The TLC personality said she chose to seek professional help after fiancee Andrea Dalton threatened to end their relationship over the outbursts and added stress.

“Since I talked to Andrea, I’ve had a couple appointments for therapy,” Tammy explained in a confessional. “Also, I went to the doctors. They did a bunch of blood work and my medication, it was such a high dose for my bigger body and now that I’m not so big, it was too high for my body size.”

Indeed, Tammy has lost HUNDREDS of pounds over the last few years, which can create its own complications.

“It just kind of put me in, I guess, a manic depression state and it was making me have a mental breakdown,” Tammy continued. “​​So they took me off five prescriptions that I didn’t need anymore, and then they lowered the rest of them.”

To his credit, Chris showed support for Tammy on the episode.

“Continue to take care of yourself,” Chris told his sister. “‘Cause at the end of the day, if you feel better, it will make our lives better too.”

Tammy agreed that she had to seek help and focus on maintaining her positive attitude. However, despite the changes in her medicine, it’s been a challenge to get out of her funk.

“For the past few months, I’ve been very stressed out,” she also told viewers. “Overwhelmed and just every emotion possible and when I was getting angry or mad. I would black out and I would say things. It was me, but it wasn’t me. I don’t know how else to explain it.”

As for her broken relationship with Amy? Which included the latter NOT asking Tammy to be her maid of honor when she married Brian Lovvorn last October?

“I just want to let it go,” Tammy told Chris and Misty about offering another apology to Amy. “If Amy replies to me, if she doesn’t, I understand. I just kind of feel like it just mainly for Andrea. I truly feel like she’s inviting me because she wants Andrea there, I just don’t want to go somewhere that I’m not wanted.”

For the record, Tammy did attend Amy’s nuptials… despite the snub.

“The past few weeks I been going to therapy and getting help with my mood swings,” Tammy said alongside Andrea. “So, a few days ago, I decided to go to Amy’s wedding because I needed to support her. Because I love her. I’m proud of her.”

Teen Mom fans applauded when Jenelle Evans finally filed for divorce from David Eason after enduring his abuse and public bigotry for years.

But after leaving “The Land” behind and relocating to Las Vegas, it looks as though Jenelle has made the baffling decision to give David another chance.

We’d love to tell you how many times these two have broken up and gotten back together, but frankly, we lost count years ago.

The latest Jenelle and David reconciliation has been the subject of rumors for several months, with no official confirmation from the lovebirds themselves.

But Jenelle’s longtime friend Gabbie Egan took to Tik Tok this week to confirm that Jenelle does seem to be cohabiting with her “swamp monster” ex once again.

“Let’s take a minute tonight and pray for my friend Jenelle,” Gabbie told her followers.

“You know, I don’t know why I give a f–k. I guess it’s because I did put a little bit of effort back into her,” she continued, adding:

@gabbieegan

This is probably the ugliest I’ve been on camera in a while enjoy

♬ original sound – GABA GABA

“And I feel betrayed! I texted her and I said, ‘There ain’t no way you’re back with that swamp monster?’ She didn’t respond back. Guilty. Guilty! Why would you do that? …”

Gabbie concluded her shade-throwing session by requesting a little divine intervention.

“Dear God, please save her. I know she don’t want to saved but, please, for the love of God, the girl does have some potential deep down in there,” she said (via The Ashley’s Reality Roundup).

“I really thought she was on an up. I really did. I have been fooled, Lord!”

We’re guessing Jenelle and Gabbie are no longer as close as they once were. But we’re thankful that Egan is still willing to share intel on her former friend.

It might be a while before we get any confirmation from Jenelle herself, as she’s been keeping a lower profile than usual lately.

And that’s surprising for a number of reasons.

Jenelle recently underwent a body transformation that involved several very expensive cosmetic procedures.

She followed up her big reveal by announcing that she would be returning to OnlyFans.

Fans expected that she would be all over social media promoting her new content. Instead, she’s mostly disappeared.

The situation has led many to the conclusion that Jenelle has something to hide — like, say, that her famously abusive ex-husband has moved into her Las Vegas apartment!
