West Wilson FIRED from ‘Summer House’ Ahead of Season 11

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The saga of Summer House Season 10 isn’t quite over.

Ahead of the “Aftermath” bonus episode airing, news broke that West Wilson will not be returning.

Considering that he was openly wishing for lower viewing numbers for part of this season, the writing was kind of on the wall.

Still, we’ll see him again — starting with the bonus episode.

He’s out!

On Monday, June 15, TMZ reported that Wilson “was not picked up” for Summer House Season 11.

The upcoming season of the hit Bravo reality series begins filming early next month, likely over Fourth of July weekend.

Wilson will not be taking part.

The same report acknowledges, however, that he could potentially make a cameo as the show continues.

Whether he will is very much to-be-determined.

Wilson first joined Summer House in Season 8, which of course premiered back in 2024.

For months, he dated his gorgeous castmate, Ciara Miller.

Season 10 saw their relationship, with them even sharing a kiss.

What Summer House fans have since learned is that Wilson also secretly pursued a relationship with her bestie, Amanda Batula.

Not only did they hide this entanglement from Miller, but also from Kyle Cooke — who was married to Miller until January 2026.

It’s safe to say he’s not been enjoying his public figure status

It came as no surprise when the Summer House Season 10 reunion not only spanned multiple episodes (including Tuesday, June 16’s bonus episode), but focused extensively upon this secret fling.

During the episode, Wilson and Batula defended their relationship timeline, though many have questions — believing that there was cheating involved.

Andy Cohen and castmates alike called out Wilson for being on beta blockers.

Wilson and Batula may both insist that they were single when they hooked up, but Miller spoke to Meija Moreno — who said that she was actively dating Wilson when the world learned about his Batula entanglement.

Even if there was no cheating, a lot of people feel that the secrecy was in and of itself a huge betrayal of their erstwhile friendships.

By the way, Wilson was not at home while the reunion episodes aired.

Instead, he and Batula were in Italy to attend his cousin’s wedding.

After he got home, he earned widespread backlash after saying that he hoped that the Knicks would lose, so that public interest in an additional game would distract people from Tuesday’s bonus episode.

(I do not personally understand how basketball works but I’m very happy for New York’s infectious joy over the weekend.)

Fortunately, Wilson did not get his wish. There will be no basketball to distract from Summer House: The Aftermath.

Jacquees Teams With Juvenile On New Single ‘Lick Back’

Jacquees Lick Back

Jacquees just gave the world another big reason to anticipate his upcoming album Mood 2. On new single “Lick Back,” the Cash Money R&B star teams up with one of the label’s legacy talents, Juvenile. Produced by Nash B, Hitmaka, D-Rok, and Dinuzzo, the track leans into the sound of New Orleans bounce, providing a high-energy environment for Jacquees’ gorgeously gliding vocals and a vintage rap verse from New Orleans native Juve the Great.

The “Lick Back” music video, directed by Jacquees on location in New Orleans, further amplifies the music’s invigorating vibe. Sonically and visually, it’s an ideal convergence of Atlanta and New Orleans, two of the most important cities in American music.

Mood 2, the sequel to Jacquees’ 2016 mixtape Mood, is scheduled for release July 31 on Cash Money and available to pre-save now. In addition to “Lick Back,” the 22-song project also features the recent singles “Physical” featuring Tink, “Let You Go” featuring K Camp, and “He Kant.” It’s part of a prolific streak for Jacquees that also includes last year’s collaborative album with Dej Loaf, Friendzone 2, and 2024’s Baby Making. Inspired by his own new fatherhood, Baby Making had Jacquees pursuing a specific objective. “If you and your significant other are on that same wavelength and one of you needs to set the mood, the Georgia native has got you,” Hot New Hip Hop wrote of the release.

Last weekend, Jacquees gave a headlining performance at the five-year anniversary and pre-Juneteenth Los Angeles edition of Black On The Block at Los Angeles Center Studios. He has more shows on deck for this summer, including stops in Indianapolis June 26 at La Flaca at the Square, Aug. 24 in Norfolk at Waterside District, and Aug. 15 in Minneapolis at Armory. Tickets are available at JacqueesLive.com.

Jelly Roll Files For Divorce From Bunnie Xo After 10 Years of Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s officially a wrap for one of the music world’s most beloved couples.

We can now confirm that Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are calling it quits after 10 years of marriage.

TMZ has reported that Mr. Roll — whose real name is Jason DeFord — filed for divorce from Bunnie in Williamson County, Tennessee on May 18.

Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll attend the 68th GRAMMY Awards Pre-GRAMMY Gala & GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Avery Lipman and Monte Lipman at The Beverly Hilton on January 31, 2026 in Beverly Hills, California.

And in case you thought Jelly wasn’t serious about ending things, TMZ also reports that moving vans were spotted outside the couple’s home on Monday.

The move comes as a surprise for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that Jelly and Bunnie — whose real name is Alisa DeFord — have spent much of this year publicly praising one another.

“I want to thank my beautiful wife,” Jelly said at the Grammys after he won the award for Best Contemporary Country Album back in February.

“I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.”

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s relationship has long been a central part of the singer’s public story. The pair first met in 2015 at one of his concerts in Las Vegas and quickly formed a connection.

A year later, Jelly Roll proposed to Bunnie onstage during a concert appearance in Las Vegas.

According to previous accounts of their relationship, the couple secretly tied the knot later that same night in a courthouse ceremony, keeping the wedding under wraps from friends and family.

In 2023, they returned to the same Las Vegas chapel to renew their vows, a gesture that seemed to symbolize just how far they had come together.

Over the years, both Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO have spoken openly about the challenges they faced as a couple, including his infidelity, for which Bunnie eventually forgave him.

They frequently described themselves as stronger for having worked through those struggles.

Neither of the DeFords has commented publicly on the split, but given how open they’ve been in the past, we’re guessing that that won’t be the case for much longer.

And divorce is pretty much a rite of passage for country singers, so you can expect Jelly’s next album to be loaded with depressing bangers.

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

Trump questioned whether Mike Collins could win Georgia with his abortion stance

President Donald Trump’s 11th-hour endorsement of Rep. Mike Collins early Sunday morning surprised even some of the Georgia Republican’s aides and advisers, who thought a tense White House meeting had all but ended his chances of securing the president’s support.

In that meeting just weeks earlier, Trump repeatedly raised Collins’ hardline stance on abortion, pressing him on how he could win in a general election for Georgia’s marquee Senate race, according to three people familiar with the meeting, granted anonymity to speak about the private discussions.

The late May sit-down was dominated by the issue of abortion, the people said. Those close to Collins walked away thinking that getting Trump’s endorsement was unlikely. One person close to the White House and familiar with the meeting said it was consistent with how the president typically works through key issues with potential endorsees before making a decision.

The interaction underscores how questions over electability are top of mind for the president this cycle, especially in a critical battleground, and as abortion remains a political vulnerability for the GOP.

Yet on Sunday, the president publicly backed Collins in the early hours of his 80th birthday in a post on Truth Social, upending the GOP Senate runoff in its closing days and delivering a blow to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s candidate of choice, former college football coach Derek Dooley.

Collins and Trump spoke shortly before the president issued his 1 a.m. endorsement, two people familiar with the call said. The post shocked some Collins aides, who woke up to the news.

Abortion has been a thorn in Trump’s side politically in recent years. He’s faced criticism from anti-abortion advocates for not doing enough to advance their agenda, while trying to avoid alienating the broader electorate on an issue that has proven to be political dynamite for Democrats in recent cycles.

As Republicans prepare for political headwinds in November, they are trying to avoid some of the electability problems that plagued some 2022 midterm campaigns — especially in Georgia, where Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff has since emerged as a formidable opponent.

During a 2022 debate for his current House seat, Collins said, “I have always stated and I’ve always been and always will be 100 percent pro-life, period. No exceptions,” a position that put him to the right of Trump on the politically potent issue of abortion.

But Collins represents a deep-red district. Running statewide, in a major battleground state that hasn’t elected a Republican to the Senate in a decade, he’s shifted his position.

Asked recently on the campaign trail about his views on abortion, Collins said he supports “Georgia’s heartbeat law, which includes exceptions, 100 percent,” according to a video of the remarks obtained by POLITICO. Georgia’s current abortion law bans the procedure in most cases after about six weeks — with exceptions in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.

Trump’s concerns about Collins’ strict stance were not unfounded. Polling shows large majorities of Americans oppose bans that include no exceptions for rape or incest.

The president’s reluctance to get off the sidelines in Georgia’s Senate runoff loomed over the contest for months. His backing has been a pivotal factor in other Republican primaries this cycle, often providing candidates with a decisive boost.

Both Collins and Dooley spent weeks jockeying for Trump’s support. The endorsement is expected to provide a late boost to Collins — though it arrived after early voting had already concluded and just days before the runoff, giving him less time to capitalize on it.

Conversations between Collins and the White House began the same night that he advanced to the runoff last month, according to a person familiar with the talks, granted anonymity to discuss private details at the time.

Collins had already lined up support from groups aligned with the president’s MAGA movement. Club for Growth PAC, the powerful GOP super PAC closely allied with Trump, backed Collins early in the primary. He also touted support from Turning Point Action and close allies of the president like Rep. Brian Jack (R-Ga.), a former top adviser.

Trump further reaffirmed his support for Collins in a tele-rally late Monday afternoon from France, where he had arrived ahead of his meetings at the G7.

“Mike is a special guy, a special congressman, a special person, and so I’d like to have everybody go out and get out and vote for this man. We love Georgia, you know,” Trump said, pivoting to swipe at Dooley for not voting in 2016 or 2020, and for making a comment in which he correctly said that Trump lost the 2020 election in Georgia.

“He said he didn’t think I won the election in 2020, and I won it by a lot,” Trump falsely claimed.

Dooley and Kemp, asked about the president’s endorsements in a Monday morning press conference, both demurred. “A vote for Mike Collins is a vote for Jon Ossoff. A vote for me is a vote for the people of Georgia,” Dooley said.
