Kody Brown has finally seen the light.
His own light, that is. Or perhaps is own dark, we should say.
On the December 7 episode of Sister Wives, the reality star embarked on a three-part apology tour… sitting down opposite ex-spouse Janelle in order to make amends for all his past behavior.
While doing so, Kody admitted that he’s been pretty awful for awhile now.
“I feel like we’ve needed an olive branch — the entire family,” the dad of 18 said on air, noting that he flew to North Carolina to meet with second wife because she received “the high honor” of “being the person I felt the safest with to start offering that olive branch.”
Kody went on to say he wanted “to apologize for just being so angry and so bitter over the family breakup,” and then explained in his chat with Janelle:
“Nobody deserved to have me be that angry.”
Never previously known for his self-awareness, or for taking responsibility ever for anything, Kody wasn’t done looking deep within himself.
Much to the surprise of Janelle and to viewers around the globe.
“I’ve been a bastard for about three years about this whole breakup, four years,” Kody actually said to Janelle, acknowledging that he was full of it when he claimed to have never loved his exes.
“I think the meanest thing that I did was I said I didn’t love you. That wasn’t true. That was a lie from the perspective of pain.”
Kody emphasized that there were “some mistakes I made in plural marriage specifically,” expounding as follows when it came to his early years:
“I wish I would have seen the need for you and I to protect our special place. If I would have understood that, I think it would have been a lot safer for you. I feel like I put you in harm’s way and then didn’t step up to protect you.”
Kody has been showing a softer side of late.
He was recently reduced to tears after receiving a message in front of the camera from legal wife Robyn.
He’s even admitted that he’s a terrible father.
On Sunday night, Kody and Janelle didn’t untangle their specific issues, but they each referenced how challenging it was to navigate the world of polygamy.
“There were things that happened, especially that first year or two that I kind of wish he would have stood up for me as much as he maybe, by default, sort of took the other position,” Janelle explained, referencing her and Meri’s “very different personalities” and tendency to clash.
“So, add that to the fact that there was a lot of jealousy and insecurity and stuff that we were working through and it just was not good.”
Janelle is charting a new path in her life, and she’s trying to leave any bitterness in the past.
“I still care about him and I think he still cares about me,” she said of Kody on December 7.
However, this doesn’t mean they two are going to transition from spouses to bitter enemies to friends.
“He’s not in my life,” said Janelle, noting she wished he had a better relationship with their six kids, “and I’m not going to be in his life.”

Harry Hamlin has been a distinguished television actor for several decades now.
(Although if you prefer reality shows to scripted series, you might know him better as the husband of Bravo-lebrity Lisa Rinna.)
But long before he amassed a devoted fan base through his work on shows like LA Law and Mad Men, Hamlin was a college student at Berkley.
Like so many college kids of the 1970s, the aspiring thespian dabbled in illicit substances.
And on at least one occasion, his experiments took him down a very dangerous path.
Hamlin opened up about the incident during a recent appearance on Rinna’s “Let’s Not Talk About the Husband” podcast.
Apparently, the show is rather inaccurately titled, because Lisa’s husband talked about himself extensively during a conversation that started with the mention of the controversial drug ketamine.
“I have never had ketamine, but … in jail, I was forced to smoke PCP,” Hamlin remarked.
“[An] upperclassman had given me 25 pills and about a 25th of an ounce of grass, and that was my payment for taking these pills,” the 74-year-old continued, adding:
“It was exam season, and I was at Berkley. And my upperclassmen in the fraternity house I was living in came to me before I was going down to LA for Thanksgiving, which is around exam time.
“And he said, ‘Take these pills down to another house at USC. They need these for their exams. So I take them down, and they didn’t want the pills … so I had to take them back.”
“Do you think that was very smart?” Rinna asked, prompting Hamlin to admit, “Obviously not because I ended up in jail.”
Surprisingly, it wasn’t the pills that landed Hamlin in legal trouble but the “tiny quantity of marijuana” he had on his person.
Hamlin was sentenced to 18 days behind bars, but as a college student, he was permitted to serve his sentence on weekends.
It was on his first weekend that Harry saw a group of inmates passing around a cigarette as though it were a joint. Eventually, one of the inmates insisted that he join in.
“He said, ‘Have some of this!’” Hamlin recalled, “So that’s how I was forced to have the PCP.”
“Somebody had brought in a little sack of rolling tobacco, and they had soaked it in PCP … so they were smoking it, and there was no odor. But they were high as kites,” he continued.
“I was so stoned because the guy forced me to take three or four hits of it, right?” Hamli said. “And I was completely messed up after I had that. So that’s my PCP story.”
And what a story it is!
Obviously, aspects of that particular tale are downright horrifying, but our main takeaway here is that Harry Hamlin is one of those guys who has an interesting story on just about any topic.

Did Alix Earle getting hit up by Jaxson Dart already?
Just days after Alix shut down breakup rumors about then-boyfriend Braxton Berrios, they split.
Then, a viral screenshot appeared to show Alix exposing Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart hitting up the TikToker.
Did he slide into her DMs? Did it work?
It’s over for Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios … and on for Jaxson Dart?
On Saturday, December 6, news broke that Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios had split.
Almost immediately, a screenshot — seemingly related — spread on social media like wildfire.
As you can see below, the image appears to show a DM from Jaxson Dart to Alix Earle.
“Hey u single now?” the apparent message reads.
Atop the screenshot, Alix seemingly commented: “It hasn’t even been 12 hours.”
By all appearances, the screenshot shows Alix herself as having posted this to her Instagram Story.
Presumably, the goal was to “expose” Jaxson for being way too horny — and not waiting a respectful amount of time.
Sure, Alix just broke up with one sportsball player.
But that doesn’t mean that she wants another in her DMs so soon after leaving a very serious relationship. Right?
It turns out that Alix’s wasn’t upset by the DM after all. Why? Because it never happened.
‘That never happened’
The breakup news broke on Saturday. The screenshot also circulated on Saturday.
On Sunday afternoon, Alix Earle effectively exonerated Jaxson Dart by taking to her TikTok Story.
“What is this fake photoshopped DM u guys are posting,” she asked in the post, which consisted of a simple photo containing text.
“1. That never happened,” Alix wrote.
She added: “2. That wouldn’t be on my story.”
That sounds very reasonable.
It would be in extremely poor taste for someone to DM someone after a serious breakup looking for a hookup.
(There are rare exceptions — some friends with compatible senses of humor, for example, or hookup buddies who would find post-split boning to be therapeutic)
One can only assume that whoever manufactured this screenshot was attempting to be funny. People sometimes edit real screenshots to resemble famous people (or fictional characters).
The alternative is that the originator was intentionally trying to misrepresent both Alix and Jaxson. And, gosh, we sure hope not!
Why did she and Braxton break up?
Reports have said that the breakup was the result of their busy schedules. Certainly, public evidence supports this.
Braxton couldn’t make every Dancing With The Stars show — even when she was a finalist on the season finale.
According to Alix Earle herself, this was because he was busy with his football career.
It’s always possible that there’s more to the story. People with busy careers that require travel and odd hours do, however, sometimes find that it’s best to break up.
Either way, it’s good to know that Jaxson Dart was not, in fact, sliding into Alix Earle’s DMs the day that the news broke. That would have been tasteless.

Billy Ray Cyrus went to court to prove that Miley Cyrus is not the secret, adopted child of a woman no one’s ever heard of before.
The latest wild rumor about Miley comes on the heels of her joyous engagement news.
That’s not great timing!
This woman claims to have given birth to Miley as a tween and signed an adoption agreement with Billy Ray and Tish — one that they allegedly totally ignored.
Is Miley Cyrus the child of Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus?
Billy Ray Cyrus’ response to the lawsuit claiming that Miley Cyrus is secretly her biological daughter was to call it “false and absurd.”
He also filed a bunch of motions in court, as you can imagine. Because, yes, she filed a lawsuit.
To start at the beginning, a woman named Jayme Lee filed a lawsuit in May, according to The Daily Mail.
Within the filing, Lee alleges that she, and not Tish Cyrus, gave birth to Miley.
Significantly, Lee claims that she was 12 years old at the time.
Lee’s lawsuit claims that she entered into a “private adoption agreement” with Billy Ray and Tish.
She alleges that she experienced “severe emotional distress” when Billy Ray “misrepresented the circumstances” of the alleged adoption.
(That is, Billy Ray would tell you that Miley, who looks very much like her siblings and strongly resembles Tish, is his and Tish’s biological child)
According to Lee, the alleged adoption agreement granted her permission to name Miley — and to work as her nanny and piano teacher.
(For the record, Miley’s birth name is Destiny, which is a wonderful name for a horse. Miley was a nickname, but seems to better fit a human being)
The lawsuit contained a litany of complaints
Because Billy Ray Cyrus did not abide by this alleged agreement regarding Miley Cyrus, Jayne Lee is suing him and Tish for “breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and unlawful interference with parental rights.”
She claimed that Billy Ray and Tish suddenly ghosted her shortly after Miley’s birth.
Allegedly, they “threatened” her “with police action” after Miley was born. This claim emerged in her amended filing in June.
Within the filing, Lee demanded a supervised DNA test for maternity and paternity of Miley and of her parents.
Pending the results, she wanted to revisit the legality of the alleged adoption.
In October, a judge declined Lee’s request for a trial.
On November 20, Billy Ray filed a motion to dismiss. He accused Lee of filing this lawsuit solely to harass him and his family.
On December 1, he filed a response to Lee’s amended complaint from June. He shared that he had only recently become aware of this lawsuit.
On December 5, the court dismissed Lee’s lawsuit — with prejudice. That means that she cannot simply file it again.
Is that the end of discussion?
Most people could look at photos and reasonably conclude that Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus are Miley Cyrus’ full biological parents. The family resemblance is pretty strong.
(We should acknowledge that sometimes, people who are not blood relatives strongly resemble each other — but we are not claiming that this is the case here)
Whatever prompted Lee to bring her lawsuit, it seems likely that something — maybe several somethings — terrible happened over the course of her life. Obviously.
That is purely speculation, founded primarily upon the absolute horror story of someone claiming to have given birth at age 12. Giving birth to any child as a tween, Miley or not, connotes a series of traumas and hardships.
This lawsuit was likely filled with a lot of distressing emotions for everyone involved. Perhaps the court’s dismissal will bring at least some of the parties some measure of peace.

We have tragic news to report from the world of social media today.
Alessandro Antonicelli — the fitness influencer who acquired hundreds of thousands of followers over the course of his brief career — has passed away.
He was just 26 years old.
Antonicelli’s loved ones announce his death on Instagram
News of Alessandro’s death comes courtesy of a statement his family posted on his social media pages.
“Today the world is a bit emptier: Ale flew away, free from pain, finding the peace he deserved,” the post reads.
“We know how much you’ve loved and supported him, but now we ask you to protect this painful time his family, girlfriend and friends are going through.”
While Alessandro started out as a fitness influencer, in recent years, his page focused more on his battle with cancer and his activism on behalf of medical research.
In August of 2023, Antonicelli revealed that he had been diagnosed with chondroblastic osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor.
The shocking discovery was made when he was a doctor with the hope of determining the cause of his chronic fatigue.
“I am sure that the sports mentality and that of studying that I have gained over the years will be of great help to face this battle,” he wrote at the time (via People).
“I don’t know what’s waiting for me, but I know I’m strong.”
Tragically, Alessandro’s life was cut short by his illness, but he made the most of his final months, inspiring thousands by sharing his courageous story.
Across social media today, family, friends, and a legion of adoring fans paid tribute.
“Just finished watching all of Alessandro Antonicelli’s (pettor_ale) stories. F–k, it’s mind-blowing how life can pick on some people so relentlessly, I’m in tears because it’s not fair, not at all,” one follower wrote on X.
One media outlet noted that Alessandro’s followers made his dying wish come true by donating thousands to cancer research.
“The last wish of ‘PettorAle’ Antonicelli: 100 thousand euros in a few hours for the Cancer Institute,” the Milan Republic tweeted.
Alessandro was not as well-known in the US as in his native Italy, but in the days since his death on December 6, his message has spread like never before.
Nothing can ease the pain of Alessandro’s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time, but hopefully, they can take some solace in knowing how much good he accomplished during his short time on earth.
