Criscilla Anderson, a former hip-hop dancer who starred in Netflix’s 2020 reality show Country Ever After with her ex-husband and country musician Coffey Anderson, has announced her own death.

Yes, you read that correctly.

She was 45 years old.

“If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus—peacefully and surrounded by love,” Criscilla wrote on Instagram December 2, posted by her friend Lindsey Villatoro.

“Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment. I fought hard and I loved deeply.”

Anderson was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2018.

By the summer of 2021, she had been declared cancer-free. However, the disease sadly began growing in her lymph nodes the following year.

In November 2025, Villatoro shared an update on Criscilla’s Instagram, writing that her cancer had spread. She also wrote that Criscilla had been given “two years to live” seven years ago.

“I am not gone… I’m Home,” Criscilla wrote in her posthumous post.

She also addressed her and Coffey’s kids Ethan, 14, Emmarie, 12, and Everleigh, 9, as well as step-daughter Savannah, 17, from Coffey’s previous relationship, calling them “my whole heart.”

“Ethan, you made me a mom. I’m still beside you, cheering you on,” Criscilla continued.

“Savannah, my bonus girl—you were a gift God knew I needed. Emmarie, my Jesus-loving dancer—keep dancing through every season. Everleigh, my bright spark—chase your dreams boldly and without fear…

“My babies… I am watching over you. When a moment feels warm, familiar, or too beautiful to be coincidence—that’s me. I’m still mothering you. I’m still yours.”

Following her death, Coffey — who married Criscilla in 2009 before filing for divorce in 2022 — honored her with a moving tribute shared to social media.

“Criscilla defined strength and fighter like no other person on the planet,” he wrote on Instagram. “Heaven gained a star today.

“We miss you already. Our hearts are shattered. Our minds are jumbled. Our lives will never be the same. The house is quieter because you’re missing.”

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, who welcomed Criscilla back in 2024 as a judge for their tryouts, also shared their condolences.

“In loving memory of our dear friend, Criscilla Crossland,” the team wrote on Instagram December 3.

“Her artistry, passion and strength inspired so many in the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders family. The spirit, talent, and heart she shared will never be forgotten.”

Alexa and Brennon Lemieux have reached the end of their romantic line.

The spouses, who met and seemed to actually fall in love on Season 3 of Love Is Blind, are getting a divorce.

Alexa posted the pair’s joint statement to Instagram on Wednesday, December 3, confirming for fans and followers across the land that the relationship is over.

“After much reflection and many heartfelt conversations, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” Alexa and Brennon said on Wednesday.

“This choice was not made lightly, and it comes with a great deal of care, respect, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared.”

The couple, who met and got married on the Netflix reality dating show in 2021, went on share their gratitude for their journey, despite how it concluded.

“We entered this relationship with love and optimism, and we leave it with gratitude for the experiences that shaped us and the growth we each gained along the way,” they wrote.

“While our journey as a married couple is coming to an end, we remain supportive of one another, devoted to our daughter, and committed to navigating this transition with compassion.”

They also asked for privacy as they “move forward and focus on [their] individual paths while keeping [their] precious daughter as our top priority.”

It was just over a year ago that the stars became parents.

“Our perfect daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, born July 31, 2024. She has mommy’s hair and daddy’s dimples and we couldn’t be more in love,” the spouses wrote in a caption to an August 2024 Instagram post.

In July of 2025, meanwhile, Alexa posted to Instagram to mark their fourth anniversary.

“Happy 4 years to my lobster, thank you for being my person,” she wrote. “I never knew I could love someone the way I love you and blessed everyday that that love made the most perfect daughter.

You still give me butterflies and make my heart skip a beat. So grateful for the love, laughter, adventures, and priceless memories we’ve already made and can’t wait to make a million more.”

We can’t say for certain what happened between this message and their decision to get a divorce.

Celebrating Vienna’s first birthday, Alexa posted an Instagram carousel of the parents and the toddler.

“Happy birthday to my littlest but greatest love,” her post opened. “Thank you for making my heart whole… I’m still in awe that I’m lucky enough to know you much less be your mom.”

It’s been 14 months since Friends star Matthew Perry passed away at his home in Los Angeles.

Now, the medical professionals who allegedly had a hand in his death are finally being brought to justice.

But family, friends, and fans of the late star might feel that the punishment handed down today does not fit the severity of the crime.

According to a new report from TMZ, Dr. Salvador Plasencia was sentenced to 30 months in prison today after striking a plea deal with prosecutors.

Plasencia pled guilty to four counts of distributing ketamine back in July, admitting that he had prescribed the drug to Perry shortly before the 54-year-old drowned in his hot tub.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped three other ketamine distribution charges and two counts of falsifying records.

Plasencia was taken into custody immediately after he was sentenced.

Perry’s mother, Suzanne, and his stepfather, Keith Morrison, of Dateline fame, were both in attendance for the sentencing.

Both slammed Plasencia as “greedy” in a victim impact statement that was filed with the court ahead of today’s sentencing.

The Plasencia case is controversial for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the doctor got off with a surprisingly light sentence.

In addition, Plasencia was initially ordered to turn in his medical license 30 to 45 days after pleading guilty.

But in a bizarre twist, authorities allowed him to reopen his practice in August as long as he abided by certain restrictions.

One requirement was that the doctor inform all of his patients that he had recently pled guilty to federal charges.

Plasencia is the first person sentenced in connection to Perry’s death 2023.

But he likely won’t be the last.

Several other purveyors and medical professionals are facing charges, including Dr. Mark Chavez, Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, alleged drug dealer Erik Fleming, and the self-proclaimed “Ketamine Queen” of So-Cal, Jasveen Sangha

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

Matthew Perry Doctor Sentenced to Just 30 Months In Prison For Actor’s Death was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.
