                                <p><em>The Chrisleys: Back to Reality</em> is the latest show to follow the exploits of Julie and Todd Chrisley’s southern clan, though this production is a bit different than their USA Network series. Ordered by Lifetime earlier this year, this new docuseries greatly centers around the aforementioned couple’s kids, as they grapple with their parents’ prison convictions. <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/todd-and-julie-chrisley-pardoned-president-trump-savannah-chrisley-reacted-emotional-video">Todd and Julie have since been pardoned</a> and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/insider-name-drops-wendy-williams-while-explaining-whats-going-on-with-chrisleys-new-show-after-todd-julie-release">even appear on the show</a>. Now, the two parents are sharing their thoughts about what’s played out on the show. </p><p>Ahead of <em>Back to Reality</em>’s premiere on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2025-tv-premiere-date-schedule-upcoming-new-returning-shows">2025 TV schedule</a>, the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/as-chrisleys-film-new-show-chase-description-makes-it-sound-like-not-for-faint-of-heart">eight-part series was described</a> as a rawer look at the Chrisleys. That certainly proved to be the case, given how the producers chronicled the ups and downs faced by Julie and Todd’s kids. On a new episode of <em>Chrisley Confessions</em>, the two parents broke their silence on the show, with Julie admitting to having mixed feelings about it. What’s apparently been hard for her is seeing her children at odds without her or her husband being present: </p><div><blockquote><p>It made me nervous, because we’ve always been to oversee, to referee, to talk people down off a ledge, whatever it is, just be parents within this reality show. And not to have that, it made me nervous. It was very raw. I think there was a lot of emotions, there was a lot of — everybody going through it the best way that they knew how to go through it. And, even now, I think everybody’s in such a different place. </p></blockquote></div><p>Julie Chrisley (in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEDgS8w6up0">YouTube</a> video) went on to explain how surreal it is to see her kids going through such a “hard” time on TV, which she said starkly contrasts with their family situation now. Although things are apparently somewhat better now, Chrisley got real about her mixed feelings: </p><div><blockquote><p>I’m a little conflicted by it. Listen, first and foremost, I have always, from day one, been very clear. My job, my calling in life was to be a mom, and anytime you see your children not in a good place, it’s hard. That was the hardest part of it. But, unfortunately, it was what it was. </p></blockquote></div><div  class="fancy-box"><div class="fancy_box-title">More on the Chrisleys</div><div class="fancy_box_body"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="eBs8XYP2FQ3sdcbigCuhBG" name="todd chrisleyknows.jpg" caption="" alt="Todd Chrisley talking head on Chrisley Knows Best" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/eBs8XYP2FQ3sdcbigCuhBG.jpg" mos="" link="" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pinterest-pin-exclude"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=""><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: USA)</span></figcaption></figure><p class="fancy-box__body-text"><a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/was-todd-chrisley-leaving-chrisley-knows-best-before-legal-issues-star-speaking-out">Wait, Was Todd Chrisley Already Planning To Leave Chrisley Knows Best Before His Legal Issues Began? The Reality TV Star Is Speaking Out</a></p></div></div><p>The biggest piece of drama that unfolds during <em>The Chrisleys: Back to Reality</em> is the rift between siblings Savannah and Chase Chrisley. During the show’s confessionals, Savannah accused her brother of not being helpful amid their parents’ absences. Chase, however, argued that his sister only wanted his help when it best suited her, as he believed she ultimately wanted to have the pleasure of saying she handled her broods’ affairs on her own.</p><p>When discussing the dynamics amongst their kids on the show, Todd Chrisley said he didn’t find the drama to be so “unfortunate,” an assertion that left Julie taken aback. Todd then proceeded to lay out his rationale: </p><div><blockquote><p>The reason that I said that I don’t know that it’s unfortunate is because our kids have been forced, now, to grow up. I don’t think that’s an unfortunate event. I think that our kids are now saying what they feel without having to suppress it. They’re letting it come out. I don’t think that’s unfortunate. I think the way they speak to each other sometimes certainly is not how they’ve been raised and certainly could’ve been handled differently. But everyone processes pain differently. </p></blockquote></div><p>As of this writing, Chase and Savannah haven’t formally reconciled, and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/todd-chrisley-explains-why-not-fixing-rift-between-savannah-chase">Todd previously said he wouldn’t intervene</a> as he didn’t feel it was his “job” to do so. That aside, Chase – who shared a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/chase-chrisley-drops-yellowstone-post-about-feelings-familys-new-show-highlights-rift-savannah">cryptic <em>Yellowstone</em>-centric post</a> amid the <em>Back to Reality</em> premiere – was revealed to have entered rehab for alcohol addiction by the time the finale was filmed. The family’s situation may be different now, but the issues that Todd and Julie (and various viewers) watched play out on screen remain in the public consciousness.</p>

                            <article>
                                <p>When <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/as-todd-julie-chrisley-remain-in-prison-familys-new-tv-project-officially-ordered-lifetime">Lifetime ordered <em>The Chrisleys: Back to Reality</em></a>, it would’ve been fair to assume that viewers would be in for a dramatic piece of TV. The description that Chase Chrisley later shared added credence to the notion that the docuseries would be emotional. In the series premiere, which debuted earlier this week, Chase took center stage, as his tense relationship with sister Savannah took center stage. Amid all of that, Chase took to social media to share a cryptic post, and Yellowstone was involved. </p><h2 id="chase-chrisley-shares-a-yellowstone-post-to-social-media">Chase Chrisley Shares A Yellowstone Post To Social Media</h2><p>As of this writing, Chase Chrisley has yet to formally respond to the drama that unfolded across the first two episodes of <em>Back to Reality</em> (one of the biggest titles on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2025-tv-premiere-date-schedule-upcoming-new-returning-shows">2025 TV schedule</a>). He did, however, take to his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chasechrisley/?hl=en">Instagram</a> story to share a meme related to <em>Yellowstone</em>, the hit western show from Taylor Sheridan. The post featured a still of actor Cole Hauser as his character from the series, Rip Wheeler. Along with that photo was a caption related to a person’s “feelings”: </p><div><blockquote><p>Before you try to hurt my feelings, take into consideration that I don't have any and you probably. </p></blockquote></div><p>It’s hard to say what the former <em>Chrisley Knows Best</em> star’s intent was when he posted this. On the one hand, some may assume that he was making a reference to the familial difficulties he’s had. There’s also the possibility, of course, that Chase is simply just a big fan of <em>Yellowstone</em> (which is available to stream with a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2562226/paramount-plus-release-date-price-and-other-things-we-know-about-the-streaming-service">Paramount+ subscription</a>). Taylor Sheridan’s hit show captured audiences’ attention with its extreme drama, and it seems the Chrisleys’ new show might be in the position to do that as well. </p><h2 id="what-happened-with-chase-and-savannah-on-their-family-s-new-show">What Happened With Chase And Savannah On Their Family’s New Show?</h2><p>The first two episodes of <em>The Chrisleys: Back to Reality</em> set the stage for the family’s situation, as the heads of the household (Todd and Julie) were serving their prison stints while their kids coped. As explained by <a href="https://ew.com/savannah-chrisley-details-feud-brother-chase-since-parents-prison-time-11800205">EW</a>, the first episode saw Julie express concern (via a phone call) over the relationship between Savannah and Chase. Family matriarch Nanny Faye also worried about the bonds between the two siblings. </p><div  class="fancy-box"><div class="fancy_box-title">More on the Chrisley Family</div><div class="fancy_box_body"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="sTqP9o4fBJNa2jDpzLvf4g" name="todd chrisley on chrisley confessions" caption="" alt="Todd Chrisley intros Chrisley Confessions" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/sTqP9o4fBJNa2jDpzLvf4g.jpg" mos="" link="" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pinterest-pin-exclude"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=""><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Chrisley Confessions)</span></figcaption></figure><p class="fancy-box__body-text"><a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/how-todd-chrisley-responded-after-someone-asked-him-if-hed-run-office">‘You’re Not Gonna Believe This’: How Todd Chrisley Responded After Someone Asked Him If He Planned To Run For Office</a></p></div></div><p>During the <em>Back to Reality</em> premiere, Savannah admitted she and Chase were on “rocky terms,” and she chalked that up to her brother supposedly not pitching in amid their parents’ prison stints. Chase himself also admitted to there being “tension” between him and Savannah. During a family dinner, Savannah did give Chase props for lending a hand, though he said during a confessional that “Savannah wants help on Savannah's time” and “wants to be able to say she did it on her own.” For her part, Savannah opined that Chase always has an angle, which is why she believes his interactions with her are always “performative.”</p><p>Several episodes currently remain in this eight-part docuseries, and there are certainly more notable developments on the way. Of course, one of the biggest plot points will be <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/todd-and-julie-chrisley-pardoned-president-trump-savannah-chrisley-reacted-emotional-video">Todd and Julie Chrisley’s pardoning</a> and, as previously revealed, that <a href="http://cinemablend">caused production on the show to evolve</a> a bit. When it comes to Chase and Savannah, specifically, though, viewers just have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled on the off chance that Chase posts any more <em>Yellowstone</em> memes. </p><p>The third episode of <em>The Chrisleys: Back to Reality</em> airs tonight – Tuesday, September 2 – at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime. Further episodes will drop on Tuesdays at that same time on the aforementioned network.</p>

                                <p>It’s been over two years since <em>Chrisley Knows Best</em> was canceled by USA Network after a 10-season run. However, the Georgia-based brood at the center of the series has remained a topic of conversation due to the legal issues surrounding parents Todd and Julie. The <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/todd-and-julie-chrisley-trial-jury-finds-them-guilty-of-bank-fraud-and-more">Chrisleys were found guilty</a> of tax evasion and other offenses in 2022 and reported to prison the following year. All the while, the rest of their relatives have been looking to get back into the reality TV game, and they’ve now officially landed their follow-up series. </p><p>The longtime reality TV stars are officially moving from USA Network to Lifetime, as their brand-new show has been ordered to series. Set to headline the show are siblings Savannah, Chase, Grayson and Chloe Chrisley, along with their grandmother, Nanny Faye. As of right now, the production doesn’t have a formal title and is only being referred to as <em>The Untitled Chrisleys Project</em>. While prospective viewers may not know what the final name is, they have been treated to a tease of what the show will entail. </p><p><a href="https://people.com/chrisley-family-returns-to-reality-tv-in-new-lifetime-series-will-expose-raw-truth-of-their-lives-exclusive-11739168">People</a> released the official synopsis for the series, which conveys the notion that “the Chrisleys don’t know best anymore, but they’re doing their best to be there for each other.” Based on the description, the show will explore the family’s new reality, as Julie and Todd remain behind bars and have limited communication with their loved ones. The married couple’s absence is just one aspect of the show, though, as the kids' other personal issues will be highlighted: </p><div><blockquote><p>While Savannah maintains custody of her younger siblings, Chloe and Grayson, she has been fighting tirelessly for a Presidential pardon to free her parents. Meanwhile, Chase is addressing some life struggles while building his new business and navigating his relationship with girlfriend Jodi. </p></blockquote></div><p>The past several years were filled with speculation regarding what the Chrisleys’ next TV venture would be. By August 2023, it was confirmed that a new show would be produced in some form, with <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/todd-chrisley-reportedly-feels-kids-new-reality-show-while-julie-prison">Todd reportedly “thrilled”</a> that his family would return to the small screen. There was also talk as to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/todd-julie-chrisley-involved-the-familys-new-reality-series-while-in-prison">whether he and Julie would be involved</a> in some form or fashion. While they’re alluded to in the synopsis, it doesn’t seem likely that the incarcerated pair will actually appear in person. </p><div  class="fancy-box"><div class="fancy_box-title">More on the Chrisleys</div><div class="fancy_box_body"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="k9kkQ3PbXDzH4t8gyup6Ee" name="savannahchrisleyunlockedpodcast" caption="" alt="Savannah Chrisley on Unlocked Podcast" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/k9kkQ3PbXDzH4t8gyup6Ee.jpg" mos="" link="" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pinterest-pin-exclude"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=""><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Unlocked Podcast)</span></figcaption></figure><p class="fancy-box__body-text"><a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/savannah-chrisley-real-about-how-shes-struggled-surrogate-mom-amid-parents-incarceration">Savannah Chrisley Gets Real About How She’s ‘Struggled’ To Be A Surrogate Mom Amid Her Parents’ Incarceration</a></p></div></div><p>An element of the new show that may stand out to Chrisley Knows Best fans is the fact that a few notable members of the family aren’t listed as being involved. More specifically, those people are Todd’s oldest children, Lindsie and Kyle, whom he shares with ex-wife Teresa Terry. Based on what’s been said by Savannah, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/savannah-chrisley-doesnt-speak-with-her-sister-lindsie-anymore-reason">she and Lindsie don't really talk</a>. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/new-report-from-kyle-chrisleys-assault-arrest-include-stabbing-threats-and-injury-details">Kyle has dealt with legal issues</a> in recent years, which is what prompted his parents to adopt his daughter, Chloe.</p><p>Julie and Todd Chrisley were sentenced to seven and 12-year prison sentences in 2022 and, since reporting, they’ve served time in facilities located in Kentucky and Florida. Savannah has been advocating for them while also weighing in on her family’s reality TV prospects. <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/savannah-chrisley-whats-going-on-with-familys-next-reality-tv-show-todd-julie-remain-prison">Savannah’s most recent update</a> arrived in February 2025, at which point she said she was taking her time to find a “comfortable” situation for her and her family. Now, it would seem they have the opportunity to share their experiences as they so choose.</p><p><em>The Untitled Chrisley Project</em> is set to premiere on Lifetime sometime later this year as part of the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2025-tv-premiere-date-schedule-upcoming-new-returning-shows">2025 TV schedule</a>. In the meantime, <em>Chrisley Knows Best</em> is available to stream with a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/peacock-subscription-the-plans-the-price-and-whats-included">Peacock subscription</a>.</p>

She’s been kicking out news stories at CinemaBlend since 2007 and joined the full-time staff in 2014. She oversees news content, hiring and training for the site, and her areas of expertise include theme parks, rom-coms, Hallmark (particularly Christmas movie season), reality TV, celebrity interviews and primetime. She loves a good animated movie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jessica has a Masters in Library Science degree from Indiana University, and used to be found behind a reference desk most definitely not shushing people. She now uses those skills in researching and tracking down information in very different ways.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She’s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: A former soccer player and recent tennis addict, Jessica also enjoys running, both of the distance and sprint variety. When not at the movie theater or in a theme park, her other free time is spent in book clubs, hiking, drinking wine, binge-watching, keeping tabs on celebrity fashion and riding rollercoasters. Has a serious Hallmark habit and an even bigger record-buying habit. Will bake for compliments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She’s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;nbsp;Hallmark Christmas movie season. Wearing socks to bed. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                            <article>
                                <p><a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/aunjanue-ellis-taylor-movie-performances-that-deserved-an-oscar">Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor has many roles under her belt</a> these days, with more than 80 acting credits credited to her name, including some hitting the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/upcoming-movies-2025-new-movie-release-dates">2025 movie schedule</a>. However, before <em>The Mentalist</em>, <em>If Beale Street Could Talk</em>, <em>Quantico</em>, <em>Lovecraft Country, Nickel Boys</em>, <em>The Color Purple</em> and even before she joined the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/justified-city-primevals-updated-cast-list-including-timothy-olyphant">cast of <em>Justified: City Primeval</em></a>, the actress says it was Keke Palmer who really helped her to land meatier roles. This was a surprise for me, as I remember her career really shifting into high gear thanks to another TV role.</p><p>In 2012, Ellis-Taylor starred opposite Ms. Palmer in the Lifetime original movie <em>Abducted: The Carlina White Story</em>. In the movie, she played a nurse who had abducted a baby from a hospital system years before and had raised her on her own, all while the child’s birth parents were still searching for her. </p><p>The made-for-TV movie was based on a true story,  and it’s a role that was higher profile for the actress at the time. She said in a speech while accepting an American Black Film Festival (ABFF) honor (via <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/events/abff-honors-keke-palmer-aunjanue-ellis-taylor-aaron-pierre-marla-gibbs-giancarlo-esposito-1236311438/">Variety</a>) that if it wasn't for Keke Palmer and her mother, she might not have ever gotten the chance to really launch a major Hollywood career, noting of <em>Carlina White</em>:</p><div><blockquote><p>Keke Palmer made me famous. … And I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. Because it was the first time I felt the line between who I was and who I played merged.</p></blockquote></div><p>Of course I would never want to take away the actress’ own thoughts on her career and the pivotal moment she felt like things changed for her, but I do think it's worth noting Ellis-Taylor was already starting to make her mark on the industry a few years before that. </p><h2 id="aunjanue-ellis-taylor-s-good-wife-episode-is-the-one-that-really-put-the-actress-on-my-radar">Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor’s Good Wife Episode Is The One That Really Put The Actress On My Radar</h2><p>In 2009, Ellis-Taylor had a one-off appearance on <em>The Good Wife</em>, then in its first season on CBS. The show was already a critical darling (and led to spinoffs that have <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1626141/the-good-fight-review-a-familiar-and-wonderful-continuation-of-the-good-wife">become critical darlings</a>), and the actress landed a role in one of the most memorable early Alicia Florrick episodes. In it, she played Linda Underwood in an episode where Alicia was defending three widows whose husbands had been involved in a fatal train crash. Subsequently, the company was trying to push the blame onto the dead men, leaving the widows with no pensions. It’s a mess of an episode culminating in Alicia having to make a difficult moral choice, but it’s the scenes with Ellis-Taylor that stand out. </p><p>By 2010, she’d landed a role as Madeleine Hightower in <em>The Mentalist</em>, and while she didn’t have the world’s biggest role on the CBS series, it was a popular procedural that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/one-bts-secret-the-mentalist-red-john-just-found-streaming">plenty of people still revisit today</a>. Plus, her role was memorable and lasted for plenty of episodes. It felt then that she was well on the way to making a name for herself. </p><p>Regardless, the connection with Keke Palmer and her mom was obviously cool and extremely meaningful for her. It certainly amplified her profile quite a bit when the movie came out in 2012, but I’d like to think the kind of roles she's garnered since would have come in another way if Palmer hadn’t been there. </p><p>At the end of the day, it’s always cool when a major actress shouts out another major actress, and Ellis-Taylor and Palmer’s connection years later is still a fun BTS story about the inner workings of Hollywood. Now, excuse me while I go watch <em>Abducted: The Carlina White Story</em> with my <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/amazon-prime-subscription-the-plan-the-price-and-whats-included">Amazon subscription</a>. </p>

She has written for national publications as well as daily and alt-weekly newspapers in Spokane, Washington, Syracuse, New York and Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated with her master’s degree in arts journalism and communications from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel&lt;/em&gt;. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to &lt;em&gt;Fire Country&lt;/em&gt;, and she&#039;s enjoyed every second of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Riley’s range in likes is random and wide, from Marvel to musicals and from&lt;em&gt; Game of Thrones&lt;/em&gt; to the latest Netflix rom-com you can catch her watching just about anything. Her favorite movies include but are not limited to &lt;em&gt;When Harry Met Sally, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Finding Nemo&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Grand Budapest Hotel&lt;/em&gt;. She loves going to the movie theater, consuming copious amounts of popcorn and logging whatever she saw on Letterboxd immediately afterward. She constantly walks around quoting &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso, SNL&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Parks and Rec&lt;/em&gt;. She has been known to create the occasional PowerPoint explaining the MCU to those who don’t get it. In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship. She grew up in Washington and loves skiing, coffee and making sure that people know she is from the state, not D.C.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Taylor Swift or Andrew Garfield does, finally seeing strong female representation in the MCU and eventually seeing Jonathan Bailey sing his heart out in &lt;em&gt;Wicked&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Over the last few years, we’ve learned a lot about all the health issues Wendy Williams has faced alongside professional challenges, like <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-wendy-williams-gives-fans-health-update-her-talk-show-is-officially-being-replaced"><u><em>The Wendy Williams Show </em></u><u>ending</u></a>. Now, there’s a Lifetime docuseries, <em>Where Is Wendy Williams?,</em> that dives into a lot of those sensitive topics. Following its premiere, the talk show vet’s project was met with backlash, with some claiming it was exploitative. However, now two of the producers of the series are opening up about how Williams reportedly feels about it. </p><p>Erica Hanson, a producer on the docuseries, told <a href="https://www.etonline.com/where-is-wendy-williams-producers-say-wendys-story-is-not-over-this-isnt-the-end-exclusive-224552"><u>ET</u></a> that Williams and her son Kevin Hunter Jr. were producers on the project, and they wanted to “be able to tell her story so honestly and truthfully.” The producer went on to say that making this wasn’t easy, and the story they were telling was one full of hard moments. To that point, she said:</p><div><blockquote><p>This is not an easy story to watch or to tell. But hopefully we did it truthfully, with integrity and sensitively. </p></blockquote></div><p><em>Where Is Wendy Williams?</em> covers topics like <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/new-wendy-williams-documentary-former-daytime-host-no-money-recent-struggles"><u>Williams' financial struggles</u></a> and her health troubles, which include memory loss, addiction, Graves disease and lymphedema. The docuseries was filmed between August 2022 and April 2023, per <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/tv/wendy-williams-documentary-backlash-producers-interview-rcna140553"><u>Today</u></a>, and also addresses things like Williams being put under the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-money-troubles-might-be-over-after-reported-court-appointment-but-will-she-be-happy-about-it"><u>control of a court-appointed guardian</u></a> and the end of her show. Right before the documentary’s premiere, it was confirmed that she had been <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-reps-confirm-frontotemporal-dementia-diagnosis-documentary"><u>diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia</u></a>, and her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-family-opens-up-health-struggles-whats-really-going-on"><u>family opened up about her health struggles</u></a>. </p><p>Despite the project facing backlash regarding how it portrayed Williams’ health issues, with some calling it exploitative the article noted, producer Mark Ford said she “appreciates” the “love and attention” she’s received from fans since its release on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2024-tv-show-premiere-dates-schedule"><u>2024 TV schedule</u></a> in February. He said:</p><div><blockquote><p>She's still fabulous, you know, even in the dire situation she's in. Wendy has an incredible spirit, you know, and I think people can feel that. [And] she really appreciates the love and attention that her fans have given her because of this platform.</p></blockquote></div><p>Along with this claim, Ford noted that he hasn’t spoken with her since the documentary premiered. However, he has kept in touch with the Williams family, and he noted that they are “supportive of the project." He said he’s also met with people close to the talk show host, and they reportedly said:</p><div><blockquote><p>…she has seen the film, and she's fine with it, according to the people that have spoken to her.</p></blockquote></div><p>While they were making the documentary, Hanson explained that Wendy Williams didn’t put many “limitations” on them. She said the TV personality was “very direct” about what she would and would not do, but overall, there wasn’t a lot off limits. To that point, Ford explained:</p><div><blockquote><p>Wendy is the ultimate truth-teller and she said, from the very first time we sat down with her, 'There are no boundaries. Ask me anything. You can film anything. I am a public person. I live publicly. This is my story.' And so we just followed that direction -- into unfortunately very uncomfortable places.</p></blockquote></div><p>Overall, this docuseries covers a lot of very personal challenges Wendy Williams has faced. Viewers weren’t sure what to make of it, as many thought it might have dived too deep. However, the producers claimed that the former host wanted to go to those places and talk about them. </p><p>As we learn more about the response to <em>Where Is Wendy Williams?, </em>and if the beloved talk show host directly speaks up about the project, we’ll be sure to keep you posted. </p>

                                <p>JoJo Siwa first danced into our lives at the young age of 9, marketing herself as the bubbly “JoJo with a Bow Bow.” The tactic worked, because a decade later she remains one of the most famous dancers to come from <em>Dance Moms</em> and the tutelage of Abby Lee Miller. But it seems the time has come for Siwa to shed the rainbows and unicorns, and the music video for her new song “Karma” debuts a darker persona. Her former dance teacher had some strong opinions about the rebrand, and the dancer had some thoughts of her own, after the “stuipid” decision was made to exclude Miller from the upcoming <em>Dance Moms</em> reunion. </p><h2 id="jojo-siwa-talks-dance-moms-reunion-without-abby-lee-miller">JoJo Siwa Talks Dance Moms Reunion Without Abby Lee Miller </h2><p>A preview for the upcoming <em>Dance Moms</em> reunion — which is set to air May 1 on Lifetime — appears to show JoJo Siwa commenting on members of the group who did not return (likely Mackenzie and Maddie Ziegler and Nia Sioux), saying it’s like they’re trying to erase the past. It turns out she’s got similarly passionate thoughts about <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/why-wasnt-abby-lee-miller-invited-dance-moms-reunion-alleged-reason"><u>Abby Lee Miller not being invited to the reunion</u></a>. Siwa said in an <a href="https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/jojo-siwa-its-stupid-that-abby-lee-miller-wasnt-invited-to-dance-moms-reunion/3255800/"><u>interview with </u><u><em>Access Hollywood</em></u></a>: </p><div><blockquote><p>They didn’t ask her to be part of the reunion, which honestly, for me, I thought was stupid. I think you can’t have a Dance Moms reunion without Abby. </p></blockquote></div><p>Abby Lee Miller’s exclusion supposedly stems from the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/abby-lee-miller-is-still-furious-with-dance-moms-stars-for-not-reaching-out-while-she-was-in-prison"><u>anger that still exists between Miller and the </u><u><em>Dance Moms</em></u><u> stars</u></a>, who include Chloé Lukasiak, Brooke Hyland, Paige Hyland, Kendall Vertes and their mothers. Producers supposedly asked JoJo Siwa to call their former teacher during the reunion’s filming, which she refused to do. Siwa explained: </p><div><blockquote><p>The producers had asked me to call her, and I said no, because her relationship with Chloé, Brooke and Paige, and Kendall really, is not the same as me and Kalani. Me and Kalani are very civil with Abby, but those other ones, they don’t have a good relationship [with her]. And it’s not up to me to say who should or who shouldn’t. I don’t want to put anyone in that situation. It wasn’t worth it to me, putting Abby in that situation. Also putting Brooke, Paige and Chloé in that situation. I’m not down.</p></blockquote></div><p>Regardless of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/jojo-siwa-shared-clips-from-her-experience-on-dance-moms-and-fans-are-horrified"><u>how much JoJo Siwa went through on </u><u><em>Dance Moms</em></u></a>, she maintains respect for Abby Lee Miller, and that was very much reciprocated when her former instructor got her first glimpse at Siwa’s rebranding. </p><h2 id="abby-lee-miller-reacts-to-jojo-siwa-s-karma-music-video">Abby Lee Miller Reacts To JoJo Siwa’s ‘Karma’ Music Video </h2><p>As JoJo Siwa mentioned above, she has maintained a good relationship with Abby Lee Miller over the years, and her former dance teacher was sure to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2563215/jojo-siwas-former-dance-moms-teacher-abby-lee-miller-shares-feelings-after-her-coming-out"><u>voice her support when Siwa came out</u></a> as LGBTQ+ in 2021. The singer’s queerness is on display in a big way in the music video for “Karma,” and Miller couldn’t have been prouder as she reacted to it live on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aldctherealabbylee/video/7354481771439738142"><u>TikTok</u></a>. As far as the rebrand goes, though, Miller wasn’t sure it was accurate to call it that, saying she saw the same talented dancer she’s always known. In her words: </p><div><blockquote><p>Everyone is making such a big deal about her rebranding. JoJo is doing incredible dancing with a lot of paint on her face. It used to be stars and rainbows and pink and lavender and turquoise, and now it's black. It’s still paint on her face, and it's still her doing incredible dancing. So I don't know if it's so much as a rebranding or just maturing, getting older, wanting to show another side of her.</p></blockquote></div><p>Abby Lee Miller had a blast watching “Karma,” complimenting the choreography, JoJo’s beauty and the “over-the-top” costumes. Final thoughts? </p><div><blockquote><p>I thought it was absolutely amazing. I'm going to watch it over and over and over again.</p></blockquote></div><p>It looks like JoJo Siwa finally made it to the top of the pyramid after all. <em>Dance Moms: The Reunion</em> will air at 8 p.m. ET <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/wednesday">Wednesday</a>, May 1, on Lifetime.

                                <p><em>Dance Moms</em> has seen a resurgence in popularity lately, thanks to TikTok and YouTube, with its stars amassing followers by the millions. Despite going off the air in 2019, the Lifetime reality series that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/how-maddie-ziegler-says-dance-moms-set-her-up-for-failure-and-why-she-hasnt-rewatched-the-series"><u>launched the careers of dancers like Maddie Ziegler</u></a> and JoJo Siwa seems as popular as ever. So what better time to have a reunion? Several members of the ALDC competition team will come together (as well as their mothers, of course), but when they do, it will be without Abby Lee Miller. It turns out, the notorious dance teacher allegedly wasn’t even invited to <em>Dance Moms: The Reunion</em>, and an insider explained why.</p><p>It was 13 years ago when we were first introduced to the Abby Lee Dance Company’s young stars on <em>Dance Moms</em>, which can be streamed with either a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2570844/subscribing-to-hulu-the-price-whats-included-and-everything-else-to-know"><u>Hulu subscription</u></a> or <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2492773/how-to-best-use-disney-tips-to-get-the-most-out-of-the-streaming-service"><u>Disney+ subscription</u></a>. Abby Lee Miller had questionable teaching methods, and the moms were constantly at odds with her (and each other) over whose child was getting the best opportunities. There were tears, fights and even lawsuits over the Lifetime series’ eight seasons, and according to a source for <a href="https://people.com/dance-moms-cast-only-agreed-to-do-upcoming-reunion-if-abby-lee-miller-wasnt-involved-source-exclusive-8612446"><u>People</u></a>, some of the dancers weren’t willing to face their old teacher again, as the insider said: </p><div><blockquote><p>At this point everyone has gone through different eras, had time to reflect and there’s been a lot that Abby put them through emotionally and physically and they just didn’t want to relive that.</p></blockquote></div><p>The source alleges that some of the women — JoJo Siwa, Chloé Lukasiak, Brooke Hyland, Paige Hyland, Kendall Vertes and Kalani Hilliker are the returning members shown in the trailer — said they didn’t want to relive the trauma that Abby Lee Miller had caused them. Because the dancers were allegedly approached first and made their feelings known, Miller was apparently never even asked to join them. The source continued: </p><div><blockquote><p>[There are] ones who say they know they wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Dance Moms, [and others who say they want] nothing to do with any of it at all like Maddie. But some of those involved decided that they would only be a part of the reunion if Abby wasn’t. The girls were able to speak their minds more openly without her there.</p></blockquote></div><p>Speaking of Maddie Ziegler — who was unquestionably the ALDC’s star dancer on the show — she was noticeably absent from the <em>Dance Moms: The Reunion</em> trailer, as were her sister Mackenzie Ziegler and OG team member Nia Sioux. JoJo Siwa and Kendall Vertes appeared to address their absence in the trailer, which you can see below: </p><div class="youtube-video" data-nosnippet ><div class="video-aspect-box"><iframe data-lazy-priority="high" data-lazy-src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nZhwoUwbNBM" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div><p>It sounds like the <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em> judge isn’t happy with some of her former teammates’ decision, seemingly accusing them of trying to erase their pasts when <em>Dance Moms</em> is “why you are who you are.” We’ll have to see the full context of that conversation to determine how much shade is actually being thrown. While <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/jojo-siwa-shared-clips-from-her-experience-on-dance-moms-and-fans-are-horrified"><u>JoJo Siwa had her own horrific experience</u></a> on the show, Abby Lee Miller has said she’s the only one who still keeps in touch with her. The comment in the trailer suggests Siwa credits her teacher for the career she has today.</p><p>It will be fun to see these girls (and moms) come together again, apparently for the first time in 10 years. <em>Dance Moms: The Reunion</em> will air at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, May 1, on Lifetime.

                                <p>Fans hoping that Wendy Williams would someday recover enough to return to the airwaves in one form or another following the cancellation of her talk show were dealt a heart-wrenching blow, when representatives for the media personality confirmed she had been <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-reps-confirm-frontotemporal-dementia-diagnosis-documentary"><u>diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia</u></a>. The news came just ahead of the premiere of Lifetime’s docuseries <em>Where is Wendy Williams?</em>, and now more details are coming to light about what she and her family have been through — including how she reacted when her niece broke the news that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-wendy-williams-gives-fans-health-update-her-talk-show-is-officially-being-replaced"><u><em>The Wendy Williams Show</em></u><u> had been canceled</u></a>.</p><p>The famed host did not return to her talk show when its 13th season premiered in 2021, citing myriad health concerns. A series of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/the-wendy-williams-show-announces-more-guests-hosts-in-wendys-absence-as-show-moves-toward-full-season-without-her"><u>guest hosts filled in</u></a>, with Sherri Shepherd ultimately becoming a permanent replacement with her own eponymous show. Wendy Williams insisted several times that she would <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/while-addressing-mental-health-rumors-wendy-williams-announced-when-shell-be-ready-to-return-to-tv"><u>return to TV</u></a>, but according to her niece Alex Finnie, those statements weren’t just the result of a bruised ego or strong work ethic — Williams really didn’t understand what had happened. Finnie said (via <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/where-is-wendy-williams-lifetime-documentary-revelations-1235834442/"><u>THR</u></a>): </p><div><blockquote><p>My aunt did not know she was not going back to the show. She came over to my home one day, and this was when the news broke. I said to her, ‘Sit down. The show is no more. The show’s done. It’s now Sherri [Shepherd] who is in your time slot. The Wendy Williams Show as you know it, it’s done.’</p></blockquote></div><p>It sounds like Wendy Williams’ niece was the one who had to break the news that her 13-year run had come to an end, with <em>Sherri</em> taking over the time slot officially in Fall 2022. However, Williams allegedly wasn’t able to comprehend such news right away, Alex Finnie said in <em>Where is Wendy Williams?</em>, as she continued: </p><div><blockquote><p>She didn’t believe it. She was still going out and saying, ‘I’m getting ready for a new season,’ and then it took a little bit of time — weeks, months — to really understand where things stood. That’s how that played out.</p></blockquote></div><p>There was a lot of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/with-wendy-williams-show-going-off-the-air-there-are-many-conflicting-rumors-about-the-host-going-around"><u>conflicting information regarding Wendy Williams’ health</u></a> at the time, with reports that she was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/amidst-wendy-williams-reported-financial-troubles-her-rep-has-a-message-for-her-fans-about-her-health"><u>“on the mend”</u></a> and almost <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-reportedly-now-nearing-her-old-self-amid-legal-battles"><u>back “to her old self”</u></a> coming alongside continued concerns that she was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-troubles-grow-beyond-her-talk-show-as-a-fight-mounts-over-her-finances"><u>unfit to handle her own finances</u></a> and reports that she was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/will-wendy-williams-ever-return-to-tv-new-report-sounds-like-bad-news-on-bad-news"><u>struggling with simple tasks</u></a> like eating and getting out of bed.</p><p>Fans likely felt encouraged by Wendy Williams’ motivated attitude to get back in front of an audience — which previously included <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-losing-her-tv-show-wendy-williams-reportedly-has-a-brand-new-plan-for-her-career"><u>plans for a podcast</u></a> rather than another talk show — and it’s terrible to think that any of that was caused by a lack of understanding her situation — be that professionally or health-wise.</p><p>Wendy Williams’ family recently spoke out, wondering, “<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-family-opens-up-health-struggles-whats-really-going-on"><u>How the hell did we get here?</u></a>” in regards to the former talk show host, who has allegedly been living in a healthcare facility since April 2023, estranged from everyone except a court-appointed guardian. We’ll have to see what other questions get answered in Parts 3 and 4 of <em>Where is Wendy Williams?</em>, which airs at 8 p.m. ET Sunday, February 25, on Lifetime. </p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Excited About&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Daytime TV doesn’t look quite the same as it did just a few years ago, due in part to the headline-making fall from the spotlight suffered by Wendy Williams. The longtime talk show host, celebrated and derided for her behavior while on the air (from <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2564391/watch-wendy-williams-hilariously-fart-and-burp-at-the-same-time-on-talk-show"><u>live TV farts</u></a> to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2570171/wendy-williams-segment-on-murdered-tiktok-star-swavy-felt-very-disrespectful"><u>seemingly disrespectful death announcements</u></a>), has been almost completely absent from public life more than two years after her eponymous series was ended, though a new Lifetime docuseries aims to tackle the myriad rumors that have surfaced regarding her alcohol abuse,rehab stints, health issues, financial struggles, family strife, and more. </p><p>Despite being one of the most popular daytime TV hosts for years on end, Williams’ personal ups and downs began garnering more attention over time, with her 2017 on-air collapse as one of the first attention-grabbing red flags, leading into her later publicly revealing her Graves’ disease diagnosis. Williams entered a healthcare facility in April 2023 as treatment for mental issues reportedly caused by alcohol use (per her son in the documentary), at which point the Lifetime docuseries filmmakers wrapped filming. She’s apparently been in that facility ever since, and her family has raised concerns about being unable to directly contact or communicate with Williams themselves. At this time, reportedly the only person allowed to reach out to her at any given time is a court-appointed guardian.</p><p>Here’s how Wendy Williams’ sister Wanda Finnie put it, per <a href="https://people.com/wendy-williams-family-break-their-silence-shocking-and-heartbreaking-struggles-over-past-3-years-exclusive-8585052"><u>People</u></a>:</p><div><blockquote><p>The people who love her cannot see her. I think the big [question] is: How the hell did we get here?</p></blockquote></div><p>That’s precisely one of the questions that the docuseries, which will air four installments across two days, will attempt to answer with the months’ worth of footage filmed between August 2022 and April 2023. The project features moments that will no doubt shock and dismay viewers, such as a segment where Williams is being driven around in her car, and she asks her driver to swing by the studio where <em>The Wendy Williams Show</em> was filmed, not remembering that they’d already just done so. CinemaBlend previously reported on her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-insiders-say-stars-habits-are-taking-a-toll-after-reports-indicate-she-kept-forgetting-her-show-was-canceled"><u>alleged memory problems</u></a>.</p><p>Williams’ driver was also interviewed for the documentary series, and it seems like he was just as out of the loop and concerned as anyone else in her life. As he put it:</p><div><blockquote><p>I don’t know what the hell is going on. I think she’s losing memory. She doesn’t know who I am sometimes.</p></blockquote></div><p>It’s no doubt a troublesome time for Williams’ family and friends who aren’t always fully aware of what she’s up to or how she’s feeling. Not that things were always going smoothly beforehand, as the talk show vet was prone to suspicions and accusations in recent years. In the documentary, for instance, she calls out <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/wendy-williams-lawyer-opens-up-about-the-stars-feelings-now-that-the-court-has-appointed-a-financial-guardian-to-her-case"><u>her financial guardian</u></a>, whose identity hasn’t been publicized, for stealing money from her. However, no evidence of such crimes was made available, and no one else backed her claims. </p><p>It was in the fall of 2021 when Wendy Williams’ TV troubles first arose, with Season 13’s start being delayed on multiple occasions due to behind-the-scenes issues. The show later began filming with guest hosts taking her spot, which remained the case for the rest of the season, one that now stands as the final year of <em>The Wendy Williams Show</em>, even though she wasn’t part of it. It doesn’t seem like she’ll ever get back to the job that made her a household name, but hopefully some answers will come out of this docuseries.</p><p>Check out the trailer for the new project below!</p><div class="youtube-video" data-nosnippet ><div class="video-aspect-box"><iframe data-lazy-priority="low" data-lazy-src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/OjJDhf5ll70" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div><p><em>Where Is Wendy Williams?</em> will make its debut with back-to-back episodes on Lifetime on Saturday, February 24, at 8:00 p.m. Episodes will also be streaming with a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/philo-channels-packages-cost"><u>Philo subscription</u></a> or <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/sling-tv-price-packages-channels-subscription"><u>Sling subscription</u></a>.</p>

The Lifetime series <em>The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard </em>showed photos of Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee, attending conventions and Gypsy cosplaying as characters from <em>Star Wars</em> or other franchises. With so many <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Upcoming-Star-Wars-Movies-List-Titles-Release-Dates-100467.html">upcoming <em>Star Wars</em> movies</a> on the way, CinemaBlend wanted to know if her experience impacted her love of the franchise and cosplay. </p><p>CinemaBlend and others were invited to participate in a press event in support of <em>The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard</em>. When the <em>Star Wars</em> and cosplay question was posed to Gypsy, she touched on a recurring issue that will impact her life after release from prison and admitted that there will always be issues with things she connected to her mother, especially when it comes to cosplay:</p><div><blockquote><p>I'm not gonna lie, a little bit. I think that looking at old pictures of me wearing different costumes and stuff even though the interest is there I can't help but have like a small part of me that still feels like when I put on a costume, I'm put back in that time. And that's just something that I'm gonna have to work through with a therapist. You know, I still have a lot of triggers that might be extremely subtle. So that actually could potentially be one of them. That's definitely not on the extreme side but on the subtle side of the trauma that happened…Even though I've got a major interest in all of cosplay and everything, it's beautiful to look at. But I don't feel the need to change my identity whereas before I felt the need to change my identity.</p></blockquote></div><p>With some family and professionals <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/gypsy-rose-blanchard-shares-why-professionals-and-family-never-removed-her-from-mothers-care">unwilling to step in and remove her</a>, Gypsy Rose Blanchard used cosplay as a form of escaping her dark reality that she struggled with daily. While Blanchard confirmed that she still has an interest in the world of cosplay and appreciates it from a distance, it's not something that she'd personally want to get back into out of fear of triggers. </p><p>Gypsy Rose Blanchard's husband, Ryan Anderson, who made headlines after she <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/the-d-is-fire-gypsy-rose-blanchard-defends-husband-haters-prison-release">defended their bedroom life from fans</a>, added a bit to what his wife saying. Anderson shared his take on the situation, which Blanchard agreed with after hearing his thoughts:</p><div><blockquote><p>She probably wore those cosplay outfits and costumes to get out of the current life. She was living with her mother. So it was like an escape and I think she loves who she is now as a woman and as a person. So, right. So I guess she's right when she puts on that costume, she's escaping a good life that, now, so she might not want to do it as much.</p></blockquote></div><p>While she may not be interested in doing <em>Star Wars</em> cosplay, Gypsy Rose Blanchard did confirm to the press that she's still a fan of the franchise overall. Blanchard, who was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016 for second degree murder of her mother Dee Dee, was released in late December of 2023. Gypsy Rose was arrested in 2015 after her mother's death, and as such, likely hasn't seen much of what's been released since then. This would potentially mean the sequel trilogy, as well as every television series. </p><div  class="fancy-box"><div class="fancy_box-title">Following Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Release From Prison, She Explained How Taylor Swift’s Work Helped Her While She Was Behind Bars</div><div class="fancy_box_body"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="pLdVLRG8QFjcfDUrcLeTKT" name="GypsyRoseTaylorSwift.jpg" caption="" alt="Gypsy Rose in her new Lifetime Doc, Taylor in Lavender Haze (Official Music Video)" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pLdVLRG8QFjcfDUrcLeTKT.jpg" mos="" link="" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pinterest-pin-exclude"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=""><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime, Taylor Swift)</span></figcaption></figure><p class="fancy-box__body-text"><a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/following-gypsy-rose-blanchards-release-from-prison-she-explained-how-taylor-swifts-work-helped-her-while-she-was-behind-bars">The singer helped her through hard times. </a></p></div></div><p>On the day she spoke to the media, Gypsy Rose Blanchard confirmed she had watched at least one of the new <em>Star Wars</em> shows. Surprisingly, she went straight for <em>Obi-Wan Kenobi</em>, though anyone who wasn't there for <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2490846/will-the-mandalorians-child-be-star-wars-next-big-movie-star">Baby Yoda's meteoric rise as the next <em>Star Wars</em> star</a> might not understand why they'd want to watch <em>The Mandalorian</em> straight away. It would be interesting to see her takes on the newest era of the franchise as a fan who sees it way later than everyone else, assuming she's willing to share those opinions with the public. </p><p>There is a question of how much longer Gypsy Rose Blanchard will be in the public eye, especially as questions continue to mount as more people see <em>The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard</em> or the fictionalized story available with a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2570844/subscribing-to-hulu-the-price-whats-included-and-everything-else-to-know">Hulu subscription</a>, <em>The Act</em>.

Tune in for more details of what people didn't know about the case that captivated a nation and what the future holds for Gypsy Rose outside of her love of <em>Star Wars</em>. </p>

                                <iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/28MuJxXy.html" id="28MuJxXy" title="Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shares With Us Why She Thinks Professionals And Family Never Removed Her From Her Mother’s Care" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>The new year is already off to a hot start, especially regarding the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2024-tv-show-premiere-dates-schedule">2024 TV schedule</a>, which features what may be one of the most-watched true crime docuseries of the next 12 months: <em>The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard</em>. The Lifetime series answered a lot of questions viewers had about her life and the murder case surrounding her imprisonment, but left some avenues uncrossed, such as why seemingly no one tried to step in and have her removed from Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard care. Thankfully, CinemaBlend was able to pose that question to Gypsy herself.</p><p>For a press event attended by CinemaBlend and other outlets, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson — her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/the-d-is-fire-gypsy-rose-blanchard-defends-husband-haters-prison-release">husband that she recently defended from haters</a> — joined executive producer Melissa Moore in support of <em>The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard</em>. After my question was posed, and she was asked about why no one tried to remove her from Dee Dee&apos;s custody, the 32-year-old responded with a story about the one time an outside organization did enter the picture, and how her mother responded. </p><h2 id="why-gypsy-rose-blanchard-believes-hardly-anyone-stepped-in-to-report-her-mother">Why Gypsy Rose Blanchard Believes Hardly Anyone Stepped In To Report Her Mother</h2><p>As revealed in <em>The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard</em>, Blanchard and her mother spent a good deal of time with family, doctors, and at conventions and other events. It sparked the ongoing curiosity, especially after hearing concerns from doctors and family interviewed in the documentary and what they felt at the time, regarding why Gypsy was allowed to stay in Dee Dee Blanchard&apos;s care without interruption.</p><p>Now out of prison as an older woman, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has had time to reflect on her past. When asked the question presented by CinemaBlend, Blanchard shared her perspective on why she felt her relatives didn&apos;t want to directly call out another family member, as well as her theory on why those in the medical profession continued to turn blind eyes despite signs that she wasn&apos;t as sick as advertised. In her words:</p><div><blockquote><p>I think a big part of it was that there were people that had suspicions, family included. But nobody just wants to rock the boat, you know? So it wasn't brought up to other people, it wasn't talked about. So people kind of kept their suspicions to themselves just for fear of upsetting my mom and her ultimately pushing them away as friends or whatnot. I think that from the professional standpoint, I think that those doctors did have suspicions, I think it all has to do with money, honestly. And that's just my opinion about it. They were making money off of me. And so I think that in their profession, I think that that came first.</p></blockquote></div><p>Gypsy Rose, who holds celebrities like Taylor Swift in high regard for <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/following-gypsy-rose-blanchards-release-from-prison-she-explained-how-taylor-swifts-work-helped-her-while-she-was-behind-bars">helping her behind bars</a> (at least her mental state), doesn&apos;t seem to have the same lofty opinions about the doctors who monitored her during childhood. Given her experience detailed in the docuseries as well as <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2468347/hulus-the-act-review-patricia-arquette-and-joey-king-are-perfectly-cast-in-disturbing-true-crime-drama">fictionalized adaptations like Hulu&apos;s <em>The Act</em></a>, it&apos;s not too surprising that she&apos;d hold those types of opinions. </p><h2 id="what-happened-when-child-services-visited-gypsy-rose-apos-s-home">What Happened When Child Services Visited Gypsy Rose&apos;s Home?</h2><p>Executive producer Melissa Moore brought up that there was one point where child protective services did actually attempt to step in and investigate what was happening with Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard, which happened back when they first moved into the house built by Habitat For Humanity. Blanchard shared her memories about that visit, explaining why it ended with no further action being taken:</p><div><blockquote><p>They did come to my house. And basically, they were asking me the wrong questions. So they were looking, they're like, ‘Show me your arms. Show me your leg,’ and they were checking for bruises, and at that point, my mom never hit me. They weren’t asking the right questions to me. Yeah. So, nothing was ever done. There was no follow-up report or anything. They came one time and then they closed the file.</p></blockquote></div><p>With no physical signs of abuse present, child protective services left Dee Dee Blanchard and Gypsy Rose without further intervention. As revealed in <em>The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose</em>, a physician was the one who placed a call to child services, and later confessed to the mother that he had done so. </p><p>Gypsy Rose Blanchard added context to the scene, saying that the doctor&apos;s call had put her mother on high alert for a while, which included some rather extreme precautions like putting garbage bags over the windows. She continued:</p><div><blockquote><p>She became like increasingly more paranoid after that visit from CPS, and she actually went as far as to remove the doorbell on the door because she was just so paranoid about them coming back.</p></blockquote></div><p>It&apos;s a small detail, but one that shows that even the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/the-best-true-crime-shows-you-can-stream-now">best true crime shows</a> miss out on the really chilling bits that drive home how hopeless a situation can feel. While some who saw Gypsy Rose Blanchard&apos;s story when they watched the fictional series with a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2570844/subscribing-to-hulu-the-price-whats-included-and-everything-else-to-know">Hulu subscription</a> might feel a certain way about her, hopefully, their perspective will shift after hearing the story again in her own words. </p><p><em>The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard</em> will have encore marathon screenings on Lifetime on Friday, January 12, beginning at 6 p.m. ET, and on Sunday, January 14th, beginning at 10 a.m. ET.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Adreon Patterson is a News and Features Writer for CinemaBlend. He started working for the publication in 2020 after working for multiple online and print publications as a Staff or Feature Writer over the last five years. He covers a multitude of topics, including Marvel, DC, and special topics. He graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with an MFA in Writing after receiving a BFA in Animation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What They&#039;re Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Since first watching old-school Mickey Mouse shorts, Adreon has been obsessed with animation. The 1990’s Disney Renaissance and any animated content are his everything. &amp;nbsp;Samurai Jack, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Hayao Miyazaki’s films, and Justice League are amongst his DVD and streaming collection. Growing up in the 1990s, countdown shows like 106&amp;amp;Park and TRL informed him about everything from pop culture to music to fashion. He&#039;s an MCU fanatic catching every TV show and film since Iron Man (will debate anyone over which film or series is the best). He&#039;s always championing Black excellence in film and television with a focus on the 1990s and 2000s. He likes his comedies witty and surreal and his dramas emotional and thought-provoking. Outside of film and television, he is a &amp;nbsp;hardcore music lover consumed with Korean music (ask about who&#039;s the hottest in K-pop, R&amp;amp;B, and hip hop outside of BTS and Blackpink). Here&#039;s all-time favorites:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TV shows - The Cosby Show, Martin, Murder She Wrote Films - Coming to America, Clueless, Fatal Attraction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What They&#039;re Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Atlanta&#039;s 4th and final season, Season 2 of Abbott Elementary, &amp;nbsp;and Dr. Pimple Popper on TLC.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>As a &apos;90s icon, Melissa Joan Hart has had an impact on multiple generations through her work on <em>Sabrina the Teenage Witch</em> as well as Nickelodeon&apos;s <em>Clarissa Explains It All</em>. Gen Z and Alpha still talk about the impact of the Clarissa and Sabrina characters on social media. However, some Gen X and Millennial fans are now wigging out after Hart played a grandmother in a Lifetime movie. As a result of the buzz, the actress herself made some pitch-perfect jokes involving her past work.</p><p>The <em>Sabrina the Teenage Witch</em> star went viral unexpectedly after fans couldn’t believe she portrayed a grandmother in the Lifetime movie <em>Would You Kill for Me? The Mary Bailey Story</em>. Though the film premiered months ago, the trailer only recently seemed to catch social media users&apos; attention. As disbelief swept the internet, the TV icon took to her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C037e3-uVgb/?hl=en">Instagram</a> account to address the uproar. She expressed how flattered she was by fans’ response while also sharing witty twists on her classic shows, saying: </p><div><blockquote><p>Let me explain.... While I'm proud of my performance in my most recent movie #WouldYouKillForMe, I couldn't be more flattered that people don't think of me as a grandmother (no matter how possible it is at the age of 47). It's also refreshing to go viral for my work and not something controversial.I guess now Clarissa can Explain AARP or play the Middle-Aged Witch.</p></blockquote></div><div  class="fancy-box"><div class="fancy_box-title">More on Nickelodeon</div><div class="fancy_box_body"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="8TcP3MRafDF6t5hxYPPqqF" name="x1080-pYR.jpg" caption="" alt="Melissa Joan Hart on Clarissa Explains It All" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8TcP3MRafDF6t5hxYPPqqF.jpg" mos="" link="" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pinterest-pin-exclude"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=""><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Nickelodeon )</span></figcaption></figure><p class="fancy-box__body-text"><a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/the-top-12-nickelodeon-tv-shows-of-the-90s">The Top 12 Nickelodeon TV Shows Of The &apos;90s</a></p></div></div><p>It was great to see Melissa Joan Hart taking the profound disbelief in stride. She wasn’t wrong by insinuating that women in their 40s (or 30s) can have one or more grandchildren. It is honestly somewhat jarring to that she&apos;s now at the point where it&apos;s possible for her to play such a role. While Hart isn’t bothered by the shock, the thought of her playing a nana is probably unfathomable to some, because she is the mother of three young sons. </p><p>What&apos;s hard not to make note of here, though, are the clever Clarissa and Sabrina quips she shared. Those sound like they could make for some pretty interesting spinoffs. Seriously though, fans have long wanted reboots of those particular properties. It would be nice to see where either the quirky teenage writer or the resourceful witch are at this stage of life. Of course, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2388932/clarissa-explains-it-all-revival-in-the-works-at-nickelodeon-presumably-to-finally-explain-it-all">a <em>Clarissa Explains It All</em> reboot was in development</a> at one point, yet it unfortunately didn&apos;t get off the ground. I&apos;m not sure if these jokes will help renew or spark interest in either of those revivals. But what I do know is that I got a kick out of the comments the actress had regarding her casting as a grandmother.</p><p>Check your local listings if you want to watch Lifetime&apos;s <em>Would You Kill for Me? The Mary Bailey Story</em>, which aired alongside fare on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2023-tv-premiere-dates">2023 TV schedule</a>. Those who are feeling nostalgic for Melissa Joan Hart&apos;s classic shows can hop on streaming platforms to binge the episodes.

She has written for national publications as well as daily and alt-weekly newspapers in Spokane, Washington, Syracuse, New York and Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated with her master’s degree in arts journalism and communications from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel&lt;/em&gt;. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to &lt;em&gt;Fire Country&lt;/em&gt;, and she&#039;s enjoyed every second of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Riley’s range in likes is random and wide, from Marvel to musicals and from&lt;em&gt; Game of Thrones&lt;/em&gt; to the latest Netflix rom-com you can catch her watching just about anything. Her favorite movies include but are not limited to &lt;em&gt;When Harry Met Sally, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Finding Nemo&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Grand Budapest Hotel&lt;/em&gt;. She loves going to the movie theater, consuming copious amounts of popcorn and logging whatever she saw on Letterboxd immediately afterward. She constantly walks around quoting &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso, SNL&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Parks and Rec&lt;/em&gt;. She has been known to create the occasional PowerPoint explaining the MCU to those who don’t get it. In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship. She grew up in Washington and loves skiing, coffee and making sure that people know she is from the state, not D.C.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Taylor Swift or Andrew Garfield does, finally seeing strong female representation in the MCU and eventually seeing Jonathan Bailey sing his heart out in &lt;em&gt;Wicked&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>The <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/upcoming-christmas-movie-schedule-streaming-and-tv-dates"><u>2023 Christmas movie schedule</u></a> is about to get some spice added to it, because Lifetime will be incorporating its first-ever sex scene into a holiday film. As we get closer to <em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance&apos;s </em>release, the movie&apos;s star Jana Kramer is showing some love for her project and sex positivity by giving away free sex toys. </p><p>After it was announced that Jana Kramer would be starring in <em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance</em>, and Lifetime’s first sex scene, the actress took to Instagram to share her latest brand deal. Noting that she wants her fans to “enjoy the self love club,” the actress posted:</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0KWqM3ONq7/" target="_blank">A post shared by Jana Kramer (@kramergirl)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>The caption doesn&apos;t mention her Lifetime movie, however, there’s no denying the convenient timing of this brand deal. As Kramer noted, she’s partnered with Bellesa to give away “free toys.” Over the years, the actress has talked about being <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/the-holiday-fix-ups-jana-kramer-talks-being-present-in-the-social-media-age"><u>present in the social media age</u></a> and not using it all the time, now she’s utilizing her platform in a fun way to promote her latest brand deal as well as <em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance</em>. </p><p>Along with this promotion, the actress has also been open about the upcoming scene, and even Lifetime has explained why they’re so excited about it. Tia Maggini, the SVP of scripted content at Lifetime, opened up about this scene, and why now was the best time to incorporate a sex scene into their programming. She told <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/lifetime-channel-first-sex-scene-christmas-movie-1235811775/"><u>Variety</u></a>:</p><div><blockquote><p>We think that there’s an audience out there that’s hungry for grown-up romance, and we’re looking forward to adding some smolder to the usual holiday sugar and spice. We love trying new things, and we’re excited about this new ‘first’ for us for a holiday movie.</p></blockquote></div><p>Speaking about the spicy scene on her podcast <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-whine-down-with-jana-kram-29262403/"><u><em>Whine Down</em></u></a>, the former <em>One Tree Hill </em>star said:</p><div><blockquote><p>Spoiler alert — he lays me down on some hay, and then we, you know. Obviously, it’s still Lifetime, it’s still family. But it was pushing limits there, too… They didn’t cut anything. I was so happy that they really left it all in there.</p></blockquote></div><p>Kramer also said that "they didn&apos;t cut anything," and mentioned that she&apos;s "happy that they really left it all in there." Along with that comment, the guest on the episode was the film&apos;s writer Sarah Drew, and the<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2547159/what-these-former-greys-anatomy-stars-are-doing-now"><u> former </u><u><em>Grey’s Anatomy </em></u><u>cast</u></a> member emphasized how important it was to her that the more intimate moments of the project weren&apos;t taken out:</p><div><blockquote><p>I put it all in there, so I was like, ‘Don’t take the steam and the sex away from me. I wrote it on purpose, I want it in there.'</p></blockquote></div><p>Sarah Drew is no stranger to Lifetime Christmas movies and the world of  TV movies in general. Last year, she <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/greys-anatomy-vet-sarah-drew-on-going-less-dramatic-with-former-tv-husband-in-new-lifetime-christmas-movie"><u>starred with another </u><u><em>Grey’s Anatomy </em></u><u>vet for a </u><u><em>Reindeer Games Homecoming</em></u></a><u><em>,</em></u> and earlier this year she <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/greys-anatomy-vet-sarah-drew-new-hallmark-movie-received-help-from-blind-community"><u>called her work on Hallmark’s </u><u><em>Guiding Emily </em></u><u>“moving.”</u></a> On the podcast, she talked to Kramer about wanting to make a different kind of holiday movie with <em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance</em>, and both actresses gushed about how much they loved this project. </p><p><em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance</em> follows Jana Kramer’s character Lexie as she returns to her hometown in Arizona to get back land that currently belongs to a rancher, who is played by Adam Senn. As most holiday movies go, tropes and all, they fall for each other. However, the story is also about Lexie reconnecting with her family. As both Drew and Kramer noted, they love holiday movies, but they wanted this one to be different.</p><p>Clearly, Jana Kramer is super excited about <em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance</em>, and she’s using her platform to also promote “self-love” and pleasure through her brand deal with Bellesa. </p><p><em>A Cowboy Christmas Romance</em> will drop on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2023-tv-premiere-dates"><u>2023 TV schedule</u></a> on Lifetime December 9. </p>

She started freelancing for the site in 2020 and officially came on board in 2021. Her job entails writing news stories and TV reactions from some of her favorite prime-time shows like Grey&#039;s Anatomy and The Bachelor. She graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree in Journalism and worked in the newspaper industry for almost two decades in multiple roles including Sports Editor, Page Designer and Online Editor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Heidi grew up in the 1990s, and her tastes strongly reflect that. She can (and does) quote Friends constantly, enjoys a good West Wing binge, thinks Can&#039;t Hardly Wait was the most influential movie of her life and finds solace in 311 concerts. On Sundays during football season, she can be found cheering on the New Orleans Saints with her husband and two daughters. Who Dat! She loves to read but usually settles for a pop culture podcast, and thinks the best weekends are spent cooking and playing cards with friends and family, preferably with some UFC fights or other sporting event on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Football season, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and everything related to fall and cooler weather. The Game of Roses podcast and all things The Bachelor, and new episodes of Grey&#039;s Anatomy, Love Is Blind, The Voice, OMITB and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background: &lt;/strong&gt;Jerrica Tisdale is a freelance writer at Cinemablend. She joined the team as a freelancer in 2019. She began freelance writing in 2012 (celebrating a big 10-year milestone in 2022). Over the last decade-plus, Jerrica has written for many different publications on pop culture topics, including TellTaleTV, Screenrant, Gossip and Gab, Big Brother Access, The List, Starpulse, and other entertainment sites. She&#039;s also done ghostwriting and copywriting for companies such as Groupon and Staples. If it&#039;s related to writing, Jerrica has probably done it at some point. However, her passion has always been for pop culture and entertainment topics. &amp;nbsp;She grew up with a deep-rooted passion for film and television. &amp;nbsp;One day, she&#039;ll finally be brave enough to write a script or ten thousand scripts. Jerrica considers her true talent to be researching, or as she likes to call it internet detective work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into: &lt;/strong&gt;Her favorite shows include Parks and Rec, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Big Brother, Veronica Mars, Fleabag, Barry, It&#039;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and British panel shows. Her favorite movies include Whiplash, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ruby Sparks, Clueless, What We Do In The Shadows, Atonement, and most movies by David Fincher. Jerrica is also a major book nerd. She has a problem with buying too many books that she may never be able to read all of them, but she will surely try. Her favorite books include Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster, anything by Oscar Wilde, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, and anything by Khaled Hosseini, James Baldwin, Thomas Hardy, and Edgar Allen Poe. Jerrica is always searching for her next favorite but finds that to be a very hard search, so when she finds something she truly loves, she will never stop talking about it. You&#039;ll either hate that or love that about her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now: &lt;/strong&gt;Jerrica is excited that it&#039;s fall movie season, aka Oscar bait season. She plans to invest in a discount movie pass and see as many potential Oscar winners as possible. She&#039;s also going to attend virtual (and possibly in-person) screenings at the Chicago International Film Festival this October. Jerrica is also excited to read as many scary or classic novels throughout the month of October. It is spooky season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>I am not ashamed to admit that Lifetime movies are my guilty pleasure. Unfortunately, I no longer have marathons because I switched from cable to streaming services. In fact, I don’t watch these movies often anymore. However, I always watch the Lifetime V.C. Andrews movies. They’re addictive, and the <em>Dawn </em>movies are the network&apos;s latest adaptation of her book series.</p><p>These films are always the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/features/upcoming-book-to-screen-adaptations-what-to-read-before-the-movie-or-tv-show"><u>upcoming book to screen adaptations </u></a>that I look forward to; they’re just so ridiculous and fun. Occasionally, they’re also done really well in terms of acting, writing, etc., which was the case with most of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/why-lifetimes-flowers-in-the-attic-the-origin-is-worth-watching-if-youre-a-fan-of-the-original-series"><u><em>The Flowers in the Attic: The Origin </em></u><u>movies.</u></a> <em>Dawn </em>is not one of my favorite Andrews adaptations, but it does have many fun and crazy elements that make the journey of watching worth it. </p><p><strong>Warning: </strong><strong>V.C. Andrews’ Dawn spoilers ahead. Proceed with caution. </strong> </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="oFWpgKizAgejrfr8rD8xbZ" name="VC Andrews' Dawn Thoughts-3.jpg" alt="Brec Bassinger and Khobe Clarke in Dawn" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oFWpgKizAgejrfr8rD8xbZ.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="they-made-me-root-for-a-semi-incestuous-relationship-x2026-again-xa0">They Made Me Root For A Semi-Incestuous Relationship…Again </h2><p>Anyone who read <em>Flowers in the Attic </em>or saw<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Flowers-Attic-Sequel-Based-Petals-Wind-Development-Lifetime-61507.html"><u> any of the adaptations </u></a>knows that incest plays a major role in the story. However, it may surprise you to learn that <em>almost all</em> of these adaptations have some form of incest, either actually blood-related or technically not blood-related, but once believing they were siblings or as adopted siblings. </p><p>I usually don’t root for fictional incestuous couples, except maybe for<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2480187/game-of-thrones-will-probably-deliver-even-more-epic-incest-with-targaryen-spinoff"><u> the incest in </u><u><em>Game of Thrones</em></u></a>, but I did enjoy the complicated romance between Bart (James Maslow) and Cindy (Samantha Hanratty) in <em>Seeds of Yesterday. </em>They aren’t blood related but they are adopted siblings. Therefore, only semi-incestuous. </p><p>I liked their relationship, but <em>Dawn </em>made me love the one between Dawn (Brec Bassinger) and Jimmy (Khobe Clarke). They thought they were siblings all their lives only to find out that she was kidnapped by his parents. Almost immediately, he reveals he has feelings for her. Yes, it is very creepy that once he hit puberty, he was probably having inappropriate thoughts about who he assumed was his sister. </p><p>Knowing this fact, I was completely against their romance at first, but throughout the first three movies, their chemistry and love make it hard to root against them. Their whole dynamic takes the<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2571586/romeo-and-juliet-and-other-romantic-movies-about-forbidden-love"><u> forbidden romance genre</u></a> to another level. I don’t like that I am rooting for fictional characters who were once siblings, but here we are, and it’s not the first time and probably won’t be the last.  </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="GfiWNkBxLTXJcJg3WLTRbN" name="VC Andrews' Dawn Thoughts-4.jpg" alt="Brec Bassinger and Miranda Frigon in Dawn" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GfiWNkBxLTXJcJg3WLTRbN.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="dawn-and-her-family-have-comically-bad-luck-xa0">Dawn And Her Family Have Comically Bad Luck </h2><p>The third <em>Dawn </em>movie, <em>Twilight’s Child</em>, has so many death. Some of them are actually funny. They show how Dawn’s birth family, the Cutlers, have been cursed. The family is full of jerks and abusers, so you kind of can’t help but cheer for their demise, but it’s all fun and games until Dawn’s family karma catches up to her. </p><p>That’s when the family curse goes a little too far. Until that moment, though, it’s a welcomed karmic solution to punishing the wicked. The best Cutler karma comes to Clara Jean (Elyse Maloway); I enjoyed her death the most. </p><p>She deserved her demise and it was done in such a funny way, including the dramatics at her funeral, that you couldn’t help but smirk at it, like Dawn herself. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="4sTNkB66GHEVUuP6kqqgM4" name="VC Andrews' Dawn Thoughts-5.jpg" alt="Elyse Maloway in VC Andrews' Dawn" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4sTNkB66GHEVUuP6kqqgM4.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="the-villains-are-over-the-top-in-a-way-only-lifetime-can-accomplish-xa0">The Villains Are Over The Top In A Way Only Lifetime Can Accomplish </h2><p>Speaking of Clara Jean, she’s a villain that you love to hate. If she wasn’t so annoying, she could be as <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2484424/the-10-most-iconic-disney-villains-including-maleficent"><u>iconic as Disney villains</u></a> or even <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1680019/marvels-10-best-villains-ranked"><u>great Marvel villains</u></a>. While she&apos;s fun, the show has some not-so-fun villains, such as Lillian (Donna Mills) and Emily (Jennifer Higgins). It also has baddies who aren’t fun or extremely wicked, such as Michael Sutton (Joey McIntyre) and Betty Ann (Chelsey Reist). They’re not boring, but I don’t hate or love them. </p><p>Basically, <em>Dawn </em>is full of a variety of antagonists. They all represent different levels of Lifetime villainy. You have over-the-top ones, predator ones, silly ones, and wicked ones. It’s a villain buffet. They are some of the best parts of this network&apos;s movies, especially the ones not based on real events. </p><p>They’re so ridiculous in a way that’s not realistic. Some of my favorite Lifetime movies are the ones where the bad guys continue to escalate events until they’re just setting themselves up for failure. <em>Dawn</em> has plenty of those; they don’t learn from their mistakes, and karma always gets them in the end. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="kVkiRJPstmrUeLQQm3TixS" name="VC Andrews' Dawn Thoughts-6.jpg" alt="Brec Bassinger in VC Andrews' Dawn" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kVkiRJPstmrUeLQQm3TixS.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="dawn-has-so-many-soap-opera-aspects-including-kidnapping-and-teen-pregnancy-xa0">Dawn Has So Many Soap Opera Aspects, Including Kidnapping And Teen Pregnancy  </h2><p>Soap operas were a big part of my life as a teen. Therefore, I am no stranger to their outlandish nature. I enjoy it when a show or movie embraces soap opera elements. <em>Dawn</em>, like many Lifetime movies, fully embraces these dramatic aspects and tropes. </p><p>I was fully expecting evil twins, fake deaths, and amnesia by the end. We don’t get some of those most famous soap opera tropes, but we get plenty of others. Dawn’s entire story revolves around her being kidnapped. That’s pretty soapy. Then she gets pregnant as a teen. That’s not a big soap opera theme, but it occasionally happens in them.</p><p>Most, if not all, of these villains are like the ones you would find in various soaps. <em>Dawn </em>embracing those elements makes it more fun to watch. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="Formw6xwDevdkPbTkMibpE" name="VC Andrews' Dawn Thoughts-1.jpg" alt="Brec Bassinger, Khobe Clarke, and Megan Best in VC Andrews' Dawn" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Formw6xwDevdkPbTkMibpE.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="the-entire-final-episode-just-shifts-perspectives-xa0">The Entire Final Episode Just Shifts Perspectives </h2><p>The movie<em> </em>does a good job of making you grow to really like Dawn. Then they kill her…and Jimmy, off. To say I was a little annoyed by this twist is an understatement. Hasn’t the character been through enough? The film series then tells the story through her daughter, Christie’s (Megan Best) point of view. We watch her go through some of the same nightmarish situations as her mother.</p><p>Making Christie the lead in the final part isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but it comes out of nowhere if you’ve only watched these episodes and have not read the books, then it’s shocking and feels unnecessary, because Christie’s story is basically a repeat of Dawn’s with a few changes. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="BvCbqzKqne8Vn7kEPLFEsa" name="VC Andrews' Dawn Thoughts-7.jpg" alt="Brec Bassinger and Joey McIntyre in Dawn" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BvCbqzKqne8Vn7kEPLFEsa.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="it-x2019-s-melodramatic-in-a-fun-way-xa0">It’s Melodramatic In A Fun Way </h2><p>Lifetime does melodrama best. It might be the best network to watch if you want that kind of content, because it fully leans into it. <em>Dawn </em>is a perfect example of this because the entire limited series just becomes increasingly melodramatic. </p><p>This further proves that Lifetime has a winning combination with their V.C. Andrews’ collection. This isn’t the best one of these film series, but it’s still fun enough that it’s worth a watch. </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Part-1-Dawn/dp/B0C94G23JB"><u><strong>Buy V.C.

She has written for national publications as well as daily and alt-weekly newspapers in Spokane, Washington, Syracuse, New York and Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated with her master’s degree in arts journalism and communications from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel&lt;/em&gt;. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to &lt;em&gt;Fire Country&lt;/em&gt;, and she&#039;s enjoyed every second of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Riley’s range in likes is random and wide, from Marvel to musicals and from&lt;em&gt; Game of Thrones&lt;/em&gt; to the latest Netflix rom-com you can catch her watching just about anything. Her favorite movies include but are not limited to &lt;em&gt;When Harry Met Sally, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Finding Nemo&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Grand Budapest Hotel&lt;/em&gt;. She loves going to the movie theater, consuming copious amounts of popcorn and logging whatever she saw on Letterboxd immediately afterward. She constantly walks around quoting &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso, SNL&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Parks and Rec&lt;/em&gt;. She has been known to create the occasional PowerPoint explaining the MCU to those who don’t get it. In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship. She grew up in Washington and loves skiing, coffee and making sure that people know she is from the state, not D.C.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Taylor Swift or Andrew Garfield does, finally seeing strong female representation in the MCU and eventually seeing Jonathan Bailey sing his heart out in &lt;em&gt;Wicked&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Jennifer Grey is making her mark on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2023-tv-premiere-dates"><u>2023 TV schedule</u></a> by way of the Lifetime movie <em>Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation</em>, however, you might not realize it&apos;s her at first glance. Donning multiple different blonde wigs and caked-on makeup, the <em>Dirty Dancing </em>star looks totally different as the religious leader and Christian diet guru, and it turns out Jamie Lee Curtis had a lot to do with her incredible transformation. </p><p>Grey opened up about turning into Gwen Shamblin, while talking about the Lifetime biopic with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/how-jamie-lee-curtis-helped-jennifer-grey-transform-into-gwen-shamblin-exclusive-198429"><u>ET</u></a>,  and noted that her old friend really helped her transform. The actress made it clear when she was considering the role she needed the best wigmaker in the game to take on the character, and Curtis was able to recommend the best of the best due to her work on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/every-halloween-movie-in-order"><u><em>Halloween </em></u><u>movies</u></a>. Grey explained:</p><div><blockquote><p>I was talking to Jamie Lee Curtis and she said, 'Well, you have to go with Rob Pickens. He's the best wigmaker. He just did my Halloween wigs [and] he did Ana de Armas for Blonde. When she tells me with that kind of stern voice, I do what she says, and so I called him.</p></blockquote></div><p>Based on the trailer alone, and looking back at Curtis&apos; different looks well as <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/ana-de-armas-marilyn-monroe-transformation-for-blonde-took-a-ton-of-time-and-effort">Ana de Armas&apos; transformation in Blonde</a>, hiring Rob Pickens seemed to have truly, truly helped Grey transform into this real woman. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn93Tu1u4Wp/" target="_blank">A post shared by Lifetime TV (@lifetimetv)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Grey plays Shamblin, who is known for her controversial practices as a religious leader and diet guru and died in a tragic accident in 2021. The actress behind the titular role explained she only agreed to the role because they let her have the resources to do a full-on transformation. She explained that Shamblin’s hair is directly related to her power, saying:</p><div><blockquote><p>The more powerful she became, the bigger her hair got. The higher the hair, the closer to God.</p></blockquote></div><p>Grey explained that the wigs were important, and she knew they’d be expensive. However, she said if they gave her “some cheap wig” it wouldn’t have worked. Well, thank goodness she and the <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once </em>star are longtime friends, and some of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/the-best-jamie-lee-curtis-movies-and-how-to-watch-them"><u>Curtis’ best movies</u></a> are the <em>Halloween </em>movies, because she was able to provide great advice for her pal. Not to mention in <em>EEAAO </em>Curtis also had a great transformation and she earned <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/jamie-lee-curtis-posts-emotional-response-to-her-first-oscar-nomination-for-everything-everywhere-all-at-once"><u>her first Oscar nomination</u></a> for that character, so Grey was in good hands when it came to figuring out how to completely transform. </p><p>Based on the trailer alone it’s clear Grey’s commitment to her transformation with both the wigs and her accent has paid off, because she looks totally different, and like she was completely immersed in the role. </p><p>While Grey is best known for starring in one of the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/the-best-dance-movies-and-how-to-watch-them"><u>best dance movies</u></a>, maybe her new role as Shamblin will end up as one of her most memorable transformations. </p><p>To watch Grey’s transformation in Gwen Shamblin, and to see the impact Curtis’ wig recommendation had on the film, you can watch <em>Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation </em>on Lifetime. </p>

She has written for national publications as well as daily and alt-weekly newspapers in Spokane, Washington, Syracuse, New York and Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated with her master’s degree in arts journalism and communications from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel&lt;/em&gt;. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to &lt;em&gt;Fire Country&lt;/em&gt;, and she&#039;s enjoyed every second of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Riley’s range in likes is random and wide, from Marvel to musicals and from&lt;em&gt; Game of Thrones&lt;/em&gt; to the latest Netflix rom-com you can catch her watching just about anything. Her favorite movies include but are not limited to &lt;em&gt;When Harry Met Sally, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Finding Nemo&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Grand Budapest Hotel&lt;/em&gt;. She loves going to the movie theater, consuming copious amounts of popcorn and logging whatever she saw on Letterboxd immediately afterward. She constantly walks around quoting &lt;em&gt;Ted Lasso, SNL&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Parks and Rec&lt;/em&gt;. She has been known to create the occasional PowerPoint explaining the MCU to those who don’t get it. In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship. She grew up in Washington and loves skiing, coffee and making sure that people know she is from the state, not D.C.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Taylor Swift or Andrew Garfield does, finally seeing strong female representation in the MCU and eventually seeing Jonathan Bailey sing his heart out in &lt;em&gt;Wicked&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>In the months since Candace Cameron Bure’s controversial “traditional marriage” comments, many have spoken out against her. Specifically, actors and organizations within the LGBTQ+ community have expressed their disapproval of the GAF star’s comments. Now, Danny Pintauro called the former <em>Full House </em>star out regarding the time she and Raven Symoné interviewed him on <em>The View</em>, an experience that he called “horrifying.” </p><p>While on the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/danny-pintauro-on-whos-the-boss-alyssa-milano-oprah/id1496557812?i=1000594904453"><em>Behind the Velvet Rope</em></a> podcast, Pintauro was asked about Bure’s recent comments, and in response, he talked about the time she interviewed him on <em>The View </em>in 2015. For context about this interview from eight years ago, the <em>Who’s the Boss </em>star was there to talk about the dangers of crystal meth abuse during sex, via <a href="https://people.com/tv/danny-pintauro-talks-hiv-to-candace-cameron-bure-raven-symone-on-the-view/"><u>People</u></a><u>.</u>  This is because he had been HIV-positive for 12 years at that point, and contracted it after having sex with a man who used meth and being a meth user himself. The host of the podcast asked him about his interaction with Bure on <em>The View</em>, and the former child star explained:</p><div><blockquote><p>I was disappointed in the way she treated me when I was on The View. … [She treated me] poorly. She basically said, ‘Do you take responsibility for getting HIV because you were living a promiscuous lifestyle?’ And turned on the spot to my husband and said, ‘Do you have unprotected sex with your husband?’ I mean, it was horrifying. It was one of the lowest moments of the journey I had after coming out to Oprah. And so it’s not surprising to me that she’s taking this stance with Christmas movies that she’s gonna be involved in, but it is very disappointing.</p></blockquote></div><p>Based on his response, it sounds like Pintauro&apos;s experience on <em>The View </em>was not good, and did not foster a great relationship with Bure, and he wasn&apos;t shocked by what she said at the end of 2022.<em> </em>Along with Pintauro, many have spoken out against Bure’s comments regarding “traditional marriage.” <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/candace-cameron-bures-daughter-defends-traditional-marriage-comments-after-jojo-siwa-jodie-sweetin-and-more-fired-back-at-gaf-star"><u>Jojo Siwa called what Bure said</u></a> “rude and hurtful” to the LGBTQ+ community, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/jodie-sweetin-speaks-out-on-being-an-lgbtq-ally-after-brouhaha-over-candace-cameron-bures-traditional-marriage-comments"><u>Jodie Sweetin spoke out</u></a>, saying she is an LGBTQ+ ally, and  <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-candace-cameron-bures-marriage-comments-went-viral-they-sparked-a-response-from-glaad"><u>GLAAD responded to the comments</u></a> explaining it was “irresponsible and hurtful” for her to use “tradition” to “guise” “exclusion.” <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/amid-candace-cameron-bure-drama-hallmarks-jonathan-bennett-shares-how-the-network-has-supported-lgbtq-storylines"><u>Jonathan Bennett also spoke up about Hallmark</u></a><u>,</u> the network Bure left<u>,</u> supporting LGBTQ+ storylines.</p><p>Pintauro continued to talk about his thoughts on Bure, and her recent comments. He explained: </p><div><blockquote><p>We’ve been in this business together… She must have tons of people in her life that are LGBTQ+, at least from her past. And how she got to this place is just a little concerning to me. It’s almost like she went backwards in a way. I don’t know if that’s her brother or her family. I don’t know where any of that stems from, but it’s definitely disappointing. I think she could be an incredible ally…</p></blockquote></div><p>He noted that if she could “open herself up again” she could be a great ally. Pintauro also talked about Bure’s religious beliefs, saying her faith is deeply tied to who she is. When it comes to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/following-controversy-candace-cameron-bure-talks-growing-up-in-hollywood-and-going-against-the-grain-when-it-came-to-faith"><u>her faith, Bure has talked</u></a> about how she felt like being religious and growing up in Los Angeles was difficult, however, she’s been clear that her faith is a massive part of her life. </p><p>Pintauro ended the segment by talking about how he’s proud that Lifetime, a network he has worked with before, has continued to have LGBTQ+ content in its programming. Along with his work at Lifetime, Pintauro has a series in development called <em>Unsure/Positive</em>, which is about a person living with HIV.</p><p>While the holiday season is over, be sure to stay tuned to the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2023-tv-premiere-dates"><u>2023 TV schedule</u></a> to see what movies and shows Lifetime, Hallmark and GAF have on the docket. </p>

The dancer parlayed her experiences on <em>Dance Moms</em> into a highly successful social media career, made a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/dancing-with-the-stars-jenna-johnson-explains-jojos-siwas-greatest-strength-in-history-making-season-30"><u>historic run on </u><u><em>Dancing with the Stars</em></u></a>, and was a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/so-you-think-you-can-dance-reveals-overhauled-judges-panel-without-nigel-lythgoe-and-it-includes-jojo-siwa"><u>judge on the most recent season of </u><u><em>So You Think You Can Dance</em></u></a>. However, her start in the business was no walk in the park. Siwa recently posted some old <em>Dance Moms </em>clips to remind us all of what she went through under the direction of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/dance-moms-times-i-agreed-with-abby-and-times-i-agreed-with-the-moms"><u>controversial dance teacher Abby Lee Miller</u></a>, sparking outrage amongst fans, who hit the comments section.</p><p>The “Boomerang” singer was 9 years old when she competed on the second season of the <em>Dance Moms</em> spinoff <em>Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition</em>, before joining the Lifetime flagship series. Ten years later, the dancer is looking at just how far she’s come, reflecting on some particularly tough moments from early in her career in a recent <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjojosiwa/video/7187101293947718955"><u>TikTok</u></a> post: </p>                    <div class= "tiktok-wrapper" style="min-height: 750px;"><blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjojosiwa/video/7187101293947718955" data-video-id="7187101293947718955" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;">                        <section>                            <a target="_blank" title="@itsjojosiwa" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjojosiwa">@itsjojosiwa</a>                            <p></p><a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - TV show edits" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7184895671183248133">♬ original sound - TV show edits</a></section>                    </blockquote></div>                <p>Wow, and she says <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/so-you-think-you-can-dances-jojo-siwa-grins-through-split-second-slam-on-candace-cameron-bure"><u>Candace Cameron Bure is the rudest celebrity she’s met</u></a>? Maybe she wasn’t thinking of Abby Lee Miller as a celebrity. The clips start with a “homework assignment” in which the dance instructor made JoJo Siwa’s peers read the reasons they thought Siwa didn’t belong at the studio. The young dancer silently cried as the other girls called her “too loud,” said she had “some timing issues,” and took “opportunities from people who have been here longer.” </p><p>Other scenes included in the post showed Miller calling her a “greedy little monster,” and one of the moms saying she was “one of the worst dancers on the team.” Fans seemed to be horrified by just the small taste of what JoJo Siwa experienced on <em>Dance Moms</em>, and they expressed their disbelief in the comments section: </p><ul><li>I saw that episode and I started to cry that was so messed up for Abby to have the girls write that about you – Lauren iverson</li><li>As a mom this makes me so angry… adults picking on children for what?! – Maggie Hill</li><li>The manipulation and hate that all of you went through is horrific! So happy to see you on top and thriving! You are so strong! – Zachariah </li><li>The trauma… its so unfair how this show was cruel – Dentifrice Cosplay</li><li>It was real time bullying 🥺honestly you’re amazing for being able to rise above ❤️ – Linds</li><li>It’s so vile that children were on this programme. It was reliant on hurting them <\3 – Metal Fairy Wings</li></ul><p>The commenters seemed particularly upset with the homework assignment that pit the ALDC team members against JoJo Siwa, with many wondering not just how Abby Lee Miller could do such a thing, but how Jessalynn Siwa and the other mothers could stand by as it was happening. More reactions included: </p><ul><li>There’s no amount of $ or fame in the world that would ever make this okay to do. Abby & those moms should be ashamed of themselves – allistermarie</li><li>It is also so messed up the mom’s let their kids do that “homework.” – J B</li><li>I honestly don't know how any parent could sit back and be okay with their kid taking part in writing bad about their teammates. you deserved better – ghostgrl</li></ul><p>What may be the most surprising thing to come out of this is that JoJo Siwa is apparently the only dancer from the show who still talks to Abby Lee Miller, as the dance teacher revealed when <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/abby-lee-miller-is-still-furious-with-dance-moms-stars-for-not-reaching-out-while-she-was-in-prison"><u>calling out her former students</u></a> for not contacting her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1656939/former-dance-moms-star-abby-lee-miller-has-been-sentenced-to-prison"><u>when she was in prison</u></a>. Miller also spoke out in support of Siwa <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2563215/jojo-siwas-former-dance-moms-teacher-abby-lee-miller-shares-feelings-after-her-coming-out"><u>when she came out in 2021</u></a>. </p><p>Maddie Ziegler, another <em>Dance Moms</em> alum and former <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em> judge, also spoke about her experience on the Lifetime reality show, telling Cosmopolitan in 2021 that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/how-maddie-ziegler-says-dance-moms-set-her-up-for-failure-and-why-she-hasnt-rewatched-the-series"><u>she was “set up to fail”</u></a> and was under constant stress as a child. She confirmed she has not spoken to Abby Lee Miller, nor has she watched old episodes of the show.</p><p>If you want to see more of what went down at the Abby Lee Dance Company, <em>Dance Moms</em> is available for streaming with a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2570844/subscribing-to-hulu-the-price-whats-included-and-everything-else-to-know"><u>Hulu subscription</u></a>, and check out our <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2023-tv-premiere-dates"><u>2023 TV schedule</u></a> to see what other shows are headed our way soon. </p>

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Fall weather and raccoons that only come out at night!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Across 19 seasons now, <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em> has given viewers lots to love. From <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2567486/why-greys-anatomys-sarah-drew-glad-japril-didnt-kiss-in-season-17-return"><u>fan-favorite romances</u></a>, to beloved characters and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2418321/why-greys-anatomy-made-the-right-call-with-aprils-big-episode"><u>emotionally-charged dramatic storylines</u></a>, those who tune in on a regular basis have never lacked <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/greys-anatomy-4-takeaways-from-merediths-trip-to-boston-jacksons-return-and-more-before-the-fall-finale"><u>things to keep talking about</u></a> after each hour of the drama is done. Though there have been lighter moments on the series over the years, the medical show is not known for its ability to induce laughter, and now former cast member Sarah Drew is talking about going less dramatic with a past TV husband for an upcoming Lifetime Christmas movie.</p><h2 id="what-did-sarah-drew-say-about-reuniting-with-her-former-grey-x2019-s-anatomy-husband-for-a-lifetime-christmas-movie">What Did Sarah Drew Say About Reuniting With Her Former Grey’s Anatomy Husband For A Lifetime Christmas Movie?</h2><p>Look, we all know that there are <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/are-greys-anatomys-jackson-and-april-back-together-fans-react-to-season-18-finale-return"><u>millions of Japril fans</u></a> out there, who were beyond delighted when Drew and Jesse Williams brought <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/surprise-japril-fans-greys-anatomy-is-bringing-jesse-williams-and-sarah-drew-back"><u>April Kepner and Jackson Avery back to </u><u><em>Grey’s</em></u></a> during the Season 18 finale at the end of May. Unfortunately, what was good news for some fans was not so great news for any others who were more on board with the romance between April and her second husband, Matthew Taylor (<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2560279/netflixs-sweet-magnolias-cast-where-youve-seen-them-before"><u><em>Sweet Magnolias</em></u><u> cast</u></a> member Justin Bruening). </p><p>Now, though, April’s portrayer has reunited with her former TV husband for a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2022-christmas-movie-schedule-whats-streaming-and-airing-on-tv"><u>2022 Christmas movie</u></a> on Lifetime, <em>Reindeer Games Homecoming</em>, and she spoke to <a href="https://ew.com/tv/sarah-drew-greys-anatomy-reunion-justin-bruening-reindeer-games-homecoming-lifetime-christmas-movie/"><u>Entertainment Weekly</u></a> about working on something far less dramatic with the Netflix star, saying:</p><div><blockquote><p>[Our new characters] Mac and Chase are super different from April and Matthew [on Grey's], and are super different from the Turners [in Indivisible]. A lot of times people don't give Justin the opportunity to be funny, but he really is very funny. I wanted to allow him to spread his wings in that way and tap into that side in this rom-com, a movie that isn't heavy laden with drama, which is what both of our previous projects were. Matthew was an interesting character, but I think Chase has a lot more grit and more layers to him. And we wanted to tap into that as well. So, it's a very fun, different relationship that I think will be a pleasant surprise for the audience.</p></blockquote></div><p>In the upcoming holiday movie, the actress (who also wrote and executive produced the film) plays high school biology teacher MacKenzie, who’s been honoring her late dad every Christmas season by participating in their town’s Reindeer Games fundraiser. But, when her childhood crush/current day action movie star, Chase, comes home to give a helping hand to his pregnant sister, he gets pulled into competing against her. The whole thing results in a recipe for joyful rom-com fun, free of the kind of major dramatic moments that the one-time TV couple played so frequently on the long-running ABC hit.</p><p>As Drew noted, not only does the new movie give her co-star a usually unseen opportunity to swing for the light-hearted romantic comedy fences, but it also gives both of them, in their third time working as an on-screen romantic pairing, the chance to have a lot more fun in their filmic interactions, and it sounds this will be just as amusing to watch as it was for them to make. You can see the result for yourself when <em>Reindeer Games Homecoming</em> <a href="https://www.mylifetime.com/movies/reindeer-games-homecoming"><u>airs on Lifetime</u></a> on Saturday, November 12 at 8 p.m. EST.</p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne Jones is a Senior Content Producer at CinemaBlend, and started at the site in the fall of 2015. In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yennefer&#039;s apprentice, Gilmore Girl; will Vulcan nerve pinch pretty much anyone if prompted with cheese...Yes, even Jamie Fraser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Weather and raccoons that only come out at night!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Philip Sledge is a content writer at CinemaBlend with a focus on longform features. He started writing for the website in December 2019, though his journey in journalism started years earlier. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: As has been in the case for many years, Philip loves all things professional wrestling (especially early &#039;90s WCW and late-stage WCW if we&#039;re being honest). But outside of the squared circle, Philip is obsessed with all things George A. Romero as you can probably tell by the plethora of zombie stories he&#039;s written over the years. Documentaries, especially Frontline specials, are another passion for Philip, and he can often be heard going on and on about why everyone should watch some random doc about an obscure movie no one has ever seen before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Oppenheimer... so much so that his wife has asked him multiple times to stop talking about it (but he keeps doing it). He&#039;s also into Peacock&#039;s Twisted Metal series, which has rekindled his love of the classic vehicular combat video game. And since we&#039;re being all nostaglic, he&#039;s pumped to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Eric Eisenberg is the Assistant Managing Editor at CinemaBlend. After graduating Boston University and earning a bachelor’s degree in journalism, he took a part-time job as a staff writer for CinemaBlend, and after six months was offered the opportunity to move to Los Angeles and take on a newly-created West Coast Editor position. Over a decade later, his title has changed, and his role on the site has continued to advance. In addition to conducting filmmaker interviews and contributing to the news and feature content of the site, Eric also oversees the Movie Reviews section, writes the the weekend box office report (published Sundays), and is the site&#039;s resident Stephen King expert. He has two King-related columns: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/adapting-stephen-king&quot;&gt;Adapting Stephen King&lt;/a&gt; (chronicling the fully history of King&#039;s works adapted for film and television) and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/the-king-beat&quot;&gt;The King Beat&lt;/a&gt; (a weekly roundup of the biggest news in the world of Stephen King books, movies, TV, and more)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He’s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: When he isn’t excitedly waiting for the lights to go down in the movie theater, Eric can often be found with his nose in a book, and it’s a safe bet that it is something by Stephen King or a comic book omnibus (Marvel or DC – he doesn’t discriminate). He is a long-suffering fan of the New York Mets, still waiting for them to win a championship in his lifetime, and the highs and lows of the experience have driven him subtly mad over the last twenty-five years. An avid collector of physical media and prop replicas, his apartment is the equivalent of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault&quot;&gt;seed vault&lt;/a&gt; for movies, television, and comics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He’s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Life is a perpetual countdown clock waiting for the next Stephen King book/movie/TV show, but Eric is stoked for the renaissance of original horror, thrilled by the Phase 5 and 6 slates of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and already sick of waiting for Dune: Part Two.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>When a Stephen King adaptation goes into development with filmmakers involved who have past King adaptation experience, the result is usually worthy of anticipation. Mostly this is because second and third opportunities come about following success, but it also points to writers and directors having a passion for the source material and the work of the author.</p><p>This was part of the formula behind the development of the Lifetime movie <em>Big Driver</em> – based on the novella of the same name from Stephen King’s 2010 collection <em>Full Dark, No Stars</em>.</p><p>Produced and released in a matter of months – <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/stephen-king-movie-big-driver-starring-maria-bello-picked-up-by-lifetime/">announced in June 2014</a> and released in October – the producers of the TV movie hired King veterans to make it: namely Mikael Salomon, the director of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/adapting-stephen-kings-salems-lot-the-2004-miniseries-is-one-of-the-more-underrated-stephen-king-remakes">the 2004 <em>Salem’s Lot</em> remake</a> and two episodes of <em>Nightmares & Dreamscapes</em> (<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/adapting-stephen-kings-the-end-of-the-whole-mess-nightmares-and-dreamscapes-fourth-episode-delivers-a-calm-apocalypse">“The End Of The Whole Mess”</a> and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/adapting-stephen-kings-autopsy-room-four-nightmares-and-dreamscapes-seventh-episode-is-a-locked-in-terror">“Autopsy Room Four”</a>; and screenwriter Richard Matheson, who <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/adapting-stephen-kings-battleground-the-2006-nightmares-and-dreamscapes-premiere-is-like-toy-story-with-a-horror-twist">adapted “Battleground,” the series premiere of <em>Nightmares & Dreamscapes</em></a>.</p><p>Unfortunately, the talent behind the camera and a cast including Maria Bello, Anne Dowd, Joan Jett, and Olympia Dukakis are unable to elevate or in any way improve what is a rote and basic rape revenge story – and perhaps the worst part of all is that there are scenes that play like awkward, cringe-y commercials for TomTom GPS devices. I explain all in this week’s <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/adapting-stephen-king">Adapting Stephen King</a>.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="Nzs7ezghS5qvLKbadXcsr6" name="Untitled-5.jpg" alt="Maria Bello and Joan Jett in Big Driver" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Nzs7ezghS5qvLKbadXcsr6.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="what-x201c-big-driver-x201d-is-about">What “Big Driver” Is About</h2><p>One will find many iterations of “worst case scenarios” by poring through the works of Stephen King, and that’s really the easiest way to sum up the origins of “Big Driver.” The author witnessed a casual encounter while going about his daily life, and his imagination went to an exceptionally dark place in the aftermath.</p><p>Those who at the very least know <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/adapting-stephen-kings-thinner-time-has-done-few-favors-to-the-1996-movie">the back story behind <em>Thinner</em></a> are aware that King doesn’t always maintain the most nutritious eating habits, and in the Afterword of <em>Full Dark, No Stars</em> he recounts taking a break from a 2007 autograph tour in Massachusetts by driving into a rest stop and picking up a soda and a candy bar. After making his purchase, he noticed a long-haul trucker talking to a woman whose car had suffered a flat tire.</p><p>Stephen King asked the duo if he could help out with the situation, but the trucker dismissed him, saying, “No, no, I got this.” And though the writer uses the adjective “earnest” in describing the dynamic between the two strangers, the nightmare that could result from their meeting occurred to him while he was driving away, and he decided to write a novella about it.</p><p>The woman in King’s mind became Tess Thorne, a semi-popular mystery writer best known for creating the on-going series <em>The Willow Grove Knitting Society</em>. Because sales of her books aren’t exactly outrageous, she supplements her income by making appearances at book clubs and libraries, and a great opportunity drops in her lap when she is invited to speak in front of a group called Books & Brown Baggers about 60 miles from her home in Stoke Village, Connecticut.</p><p>The event goes well, she gets paid $1,500, and Ramona Norville, the President of Books & Brown Baggers, even gives her directions to plug into her TomTom GPS device that cut 10 miles off of her trip back home. Tess is in a good place as she gets on the road, but everything goes to hell when one of her tires gets spiked by a piece of scrap wood with a nail in it.</p><p>She’s left stranded in an area off of the highway with no cell reception – and is only very briefly relieved when a passing pickup truck stops and pulls up alongside her car. The giant man who emerges from the cab seems kind and helpful at first… but that’s before Tess notices that there is scrap wood in the cargo bed identical to what was on the road. Her terror is instant and justified, as the man she mentally names Big Driver knocks her unconscious and rapes her in an abandoned convenience store nearby. Once he is done, he chokes her until he thinks she is dead, and leaves her body floating in a culvert with past victims.</p><p>Tess, however, is not dead, and after regaining consciousness she carefully makes her way back home. She fears the consequences both personally and professionally that could result in her reporting her rape, but she also knows that she has a duty to get justice for the women who were assaulted before her. She begins an independent investigation both into the identity of her rapist, and the circumstances that led her to be caught in his trap.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="bAsh3CcAbsc3MZAQi56fj6" name="Untitled-4.jpg" alt="Big Driver dies in Big Driver" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bAsh3CcAbsc3MZAQi56fj6.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="how-mikael-salomon-x2019-s-big-driver-differs-from-stephen-king-x2019-s-novella">How Mikael Salomon ’s Big Driver Differs From Stephen King’s Novella</h2><p>Mikael Salomon’s <em>Big Driver</em> and Peter Askin’s <em>A Good Marriage</em> – both based on stories from <em>Full Dark, No Stars</em> – were released within 15 days of each other in October 2014, and both had the same benefit in adaptation: novellas are perfectly sized to fill what is recognized as “feature length.” In adapting “A Good Marriage” himself, Stephen King didn’t need to expand on the source material or cut out any sequences, and Richard Christian Matheson understood that the majority of what was needed for his teleplay was already on the page.</p><p>The two versions of the story are practically identical until the end of the first act when Tess (Maria Bello) goes to a convenience store after her escape from the culvert. In the book she is able to use bathroom facilities and a payphone without actually going into the store, but the movie puts her under the harsh fluorescents and makes her deal with stares from strangers who recognize her roughed up condition. The adaptation additionally has the protagonist call her own voicemail so that she can recount what happened to her with the events being fresh in her memory.</p><p>The middle of Mikael Salomon’s movie is also overwhelmingly familiar to audiences who know the Stephen King story, though it does cut out Tess getting a meta, pop culture-centric lesson in how to execute a rape revenge plot – research that includes watching Wes Craven’s <em>The Last House On The Left</em> and Neil Jordan&apos;s <em>The Brave One</em>. The plot progresses the same way otherwise, with the vengeance-seeking heroine discovering the identity of Big Driver (Will Harris), real name Lester Strehlke, and realizing not only that Ramona Norvell (Ann Dowd) is his mother, but that she specifically set Tess up to be raped and murdered.</p><p>The most significant changes to the source material can be found in the third act, as Richard Christian Matheson simplifies the last leg of the protagonist’s journey. In the movie, Tess shoots and kills Lester’s brother, Alvin (Andre Myette), who is smaller than his sibling, and is heartbroken to think that she killed an innocent man. This, however, is proven to be a false conclusion, as she discovers that Alvin was present when she was being raped and taking photographs of her. After taking the photos and the camera – not wanting the police to discover a link between her and the Stehlke brothers – Tess proceeds to her original target, finding Lester and killing him with a bullet to the leg and the crotch following a brief scuffle in his workshop.</p><p>Tess also shoots and kills Alvin in the novella, but it’s because she is operating under the assumption that Lester is Big Driver, when in truth he is actually smaller than Alvin. She moves on to murdering her rapist, who is on the couch watching a rerun of <em>Seinfeld</em> when his brains get blown out, and then she sets about planning her own suicide – unable to live with the fact that she killed an innocent person. While still in Lester’s home, she pens a suicide note that is also a full confession – but she is steered off of that course with input from her intuition. She decides to investigate Alvin’s home and finds her purse under the man’s mattress, implying that he didn’t just turn a blind eye, but was involved in the crime.</p><p>Beyond the climax, the denouement is also altered. In the novella, Tess realizes that the only person linking her to the Stehlke brothers is Betsy Neal – the employee at the Stagger Inn from whom she had learned about Big Driver and Little Driver. Tess calls Betsy and starts to leave an incriminating voicemail, but Betsy picks up the phone and asks her to meet.</p><p>This meeting between Tess and Betsy (Joan Jett) is in Mikael Salomon’s <em>Big Driver</em>, but it’s moved to the middle of the film when the characters first meet, and Betsy doesn’t know about what’s happened to Tess before sharing her story about being raped by her stepfather as a young girl. The movie does bring Betsy back at the very end, but it’s for a much quicker beat: Tess gets a phone call while at home, and Betsy tells her, “I know what you did, Tess. Way to go, girl,” before hanging up.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="Bnpc2RRqa3G5Lj8CtHa2z6" name="Untitled-6.jpg" alt="Maria Bello in Big Driver" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Bnpc2RRqa3G5Lj8CtHa2z6.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="is-it-worthy-of-the-king">Is It Worthy Of The King?</h2><p>In past installments of this feature, I’ve lauded Stephen King’s habit of nodding to the works that influence him with direct references and namedrops. In the case of Mikael Salomon’s <em>Big Driver</em>, however, Richard Christian Matheson made the right choice of not including a sequence where Tess does her rape revenge research, as it shines a light on the story’s biggest problem: its derivative and cheap plotting that feels overly familiar and has nothing new or interesting to say.</p><p>This opinion of Stephen King’s story covers both the novella and the adaptation, which obviously skews the “Is It Worthy Of The King?” question, but it is noteworthy that some of the movie’s more minor deviations from the source material ends up hurting the final cut.</p><p>“Big Driver” is in some ways a descent into madness story, as Tess’ mind does a fair bit of unraveling after she is attacked. This is most clearly recognizable as she starts having conversations with animals and things that can’t talk back. This includes her cat, her TomTom, the dead bodies of Lester and Alvin Strehlke, Alvin’s dog, and the fictional lead character in her books, Doreen Marquis.</p><p>This aspect of the novella is minimized in the movie. The schizophrenic behavior is introduced before Tess is attacked, suggesting that it’s just an extension of her overactive imagination. Furthermore, the number of fake conversations she has dwindles, awkwardly causing each one to stand out more. This allows more time for Tess to interact with Doreen Marquis (Olympia Dukakis), but her chats with her GPS device have the distinct vibe of a commercial for TomTom… and that’s just so, so weird given what the film’s content.</p><p>When broken down, <em>Big Driver</em> is a film that has weak story based on weak novella, and it’s an adaptation that minimizes the strongest narrative tool in the source material. So no, I can’t say that I recommend checking it out.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2540px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.26%;"><img id="2rxzpArpa2tAyoguDbkJT6" name="Untitled-2.jpg" alt="Maria Bello in Big Driver" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2rxzpArpa2tAyoguDbkJT6.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2540" height="1429" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="how-to-watch-mikael-salomon-x2019-s-big-driver">How To Watch Mikael Salomon ’s Big Driver</h2><p>If you happen to be a person who watches original Lifetime programming on the regular, the <a href="https://www.lifetimemovieclub.com/">Lifetime Movie Club</a> exists, and <em>Big Driver</em> is one of the titles that is available to stream (you can also get a subscription linked through accounts on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Big-Driver-Ostar-Enterprises-Inc/dp/B00OHX12QC">Amazon Prime</a> and/or <a href="https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/a3119d1335935d209d038248aa134ed5/big-driver">The Roku Chanel</a>).

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Political Science, which she now uses only to analyze the psyche of her favorite television characters. She writes for a number of other publications including Agent Publishing&#039;s Who&#039;s Who in Real Estate. She currently resides in Lakewood with her partner and two kitties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What They&#039;re Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Emily is into female-led comedies and well-written characters, and she firmly believes that a successful comedy is just as big of a feat as a successful drama. Her favorite TV and film writers include Greta Gerwig and Phoebe Waller Bridge, and her favorite movies include &lt;em&gt;Juno&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Booksmart&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Lady Bird&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Palm Springs&lt;/em&gt;. She&#039;s watched every episode of &lt;em&gt;New Girl&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Brooklyn Nine-Nine&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Broad City&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Parks and Recreation&lt;/em&gt; way too many times to count and is always on the hunt for a new comedy to fall in love with. &quot;Bachelor Monday&quot; is an important day of the week in her household.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What They&#039;re Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Season 3 of &lt;em&gt;Hacks&lt;/em&gt; on HBO Max, Season 2 of &lt;em&gt;Abbott Elementary &lt;/em&gt;on ABC, and Season 3 of &lt;em&gt;The L Word: Generation Q&lt;/em&gt; on Showtime.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Abby Lee Miller is a complex woman. The <em>Dance Moms</em> star is known for her groundbreaking choreography and unorthodox teaching methods, as well as her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1656939/former-dance-moms-star-abby-lee-miller-has-been-sentenced-to-prison">eight-month stay in prison</a> for hiding her earnings from the show.</p><p>I always liked to believe that Abby wasn’t <em>really</em> that mean to the girls. It had to just be producer tricks and creative editing, right? However, according to Maddie Ziegler’s 2022 interview with <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a40154362/maddie-ziegler-interview-2022/"><em>Cosmopolitan</em></a>, the dancer has had to “unlearn” a lot of the toxic lessons Abby taught her. Maddie also revealed that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/how-maddie-ziegler-says-dance-moms-set-her-up-for-failure-and-why-she-hasnt-rewatched-the-series">she hasn’t spoken to Abby</a> since leaving <em>Dance Moms</em> in 2016.</p><p>All that being said, the dance moms don’t exactly work hard to keep the peace at the ALDC. Say what you will about Abby, but there are many instances on the show where I actually have to take her side. Here are five examples of times I agreed with the dance moms…and five times I agreed with Abby.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="LU6HoKJeZYB8aX3vD2JSP" name="nia.jpg" alt="Nia preparing for her solo, "They Call Me Laquifa"" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LU6HoKJeZYB8aX3vD2JSP.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="agree-with-the-moms-holly-explains-the-negative-stereotypes-in-nia-x2019-s-dances-season-1-episode-7">AGREE WITH THE MOMS: Holly Explains The Negative Stereotypes In Nia’s Dances (Season 1, Episode 7)</h2><p>As the only people of color on the original ALDC team, Holly and her daughter, Nia, are often the subjects of Abby’s “multicultural” dances. Holly hits a breaking point when Nia is assigned the solo “They Call Me Laquifa” (based on Shangela, a drag queen from <em>RuPaul&apos;s Drag Race, </em><a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-rupauls-drag-race-season-14-debuts-another-gag-worthy-spinoff-has-been-announced">which is getting another spinoff</a>), complete with an afro wig and a leopard print bodysuit.</p><p>Abby’s defense for Nia’s “ethnic” dances is always that she wants to prepare Nia to be able to dance in any type of style, at any audition—but Holly doesn’t want her daughter to be typecast, or be a part of promoting hurtful stereotypes about people of color. </p><p>Abby can’t see Holly’s point of view and becomes hostile. It’s a tone-deaf and frustrating response on Abby’s part, and I obviously side with Holly.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="AfxpiHWC7dEdxNLgbBSMJ" name="christi and abby.jpg" alt="Christi and Abby having an argument in the dressing room" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AfxpiHWC7dEdxNLgbBSMJ.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="agree-with-the-moms-abby-takes-credit-for-sophia-lucia-season-3-episode-3">AGREE WITH THE MOMS: Abby Takes Credit for Sophia Lucia (Season 3, Episode 3)</h2><p>One short-term member of the ALDC is none other than Sophia Lucia, a dancer from California who went viral for her turn videos and holds the <a href="https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/82089-most-consecutive-pirouettes-contemporary-dance">Guiness World Record for consecutive pirouettes</a>.</p><div class="youtube-video" data-nosnippet ><div class="video-aspect-box"><iframe data-lazy-priority="low" data-lazy-src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_bT756ywafU" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div><p>Abby’s master plan is always to scare her dancers into working harder, but she does so by telling the girls how superior Sophia’s dancing is to theirs. The moms are quick to point out that Abby didn’t train Sophia — but she did train the six dancers at the ALDC who can’t keep up with her.</p><p>Chloe’s mother Christi has some choice words for Abby in the dressing room:</p><div><blockquote><p>Chloe is a product of you. She’s been at your studio since she was two…You are a plagiarist. That little girl is somebody else’s student and you just put your name on her back.</p></blockquote></div><p>Abby doesn’t have a good comeback, because it’s true! </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="kUc8xEm2eDoPi2quwLh2Z" name="chloe.jpg" alt="Chloe Lukasiak on Dance Moms" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kUc8xEm2eDoPi2quwLh2Z.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="agree-with-the-moms-abby-wants-chloe-to-start-homeschooling-season-4-episode-5">AGREE WITH THE MOMS: Abby Wants Chloe To Start Homeschooling (Season 4, Episode 5)</h2><p>At the start of Season 4, Melissa shares with the moms that her daughters, Maddie and Mackenzie, have started homeschooling to allow more time for dance.</p><p>Abby takes notice of the positive effects homeschooling has had on their training, and suggests to Christi that Chloe should do the same. The moms have a lot of objections, especially Holly (a former teacher and principal).</p><p>Christi asks Chloe what she thinks about homeschooling, and the very mature 12-year old says that while she loves dance, she loves school too and doesn’t want to give up the part of life that’s “normal.” Rather than succumb to Abby’s pressure, Christi listens to her daughter.

The moms are upset, and rightly so — don’t 13 straight wins prove their girls’ dedication and talent? In the season finale, Abby dismisses all the Select team members, proving that all along they had just been pawns in her scare tactics.

When the time comes for Mackenzie to perform what might be her last solo ever, Abby assigns her an acrobatic routine.</p><p>Mackenzie begs Abby to let her do a hip-hop routine — but Abby snaps that if she isn’t happy with the choreography, she doesn’t have to do a solo. Against Abby’s wishes, the moms change Mackenzie’s music and choreography to a hip-hop solo.</p><p>Here’s the kicker: Mackenzie absolutely kills it. She comes out and gives the most energized and expressive solo of her career, taking first place. Abby ruined the chance to create a special dance with one of her all-time favorite students.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="7dEVmnmnkfZK3VYBK72W" name="silent treatment.jpg" alt="Melissa, Jill, Holly, and Christi staging a sit-in protest at the ALDC" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7dEVmnmnkfZK3VYBK72W.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="agree-with-abby-the-moms-give-abby-the-silent-treatment-season-3-episode-2">AGREE WITH ABBY: The Moms Give Abby The Silent Treatment (Season 3, Episode 2)</h2><p>After Kelly and her daughters make an exit from the ALDC at <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Dance-Moms-Season-3-Premiere-Does-Ratings-50994.html">the start of Season 3</a>, Abby makes the decision to fill the girls’ spots. To stand in solidarity with Kelly, the moms stage a peaceful protest — and by that I mean they give Abby the silent treatment.</p><p>It’s childish and counterproductive, and definitely doesn’t help in getting Kelly back on the team.

But when Maddie has to miss rehearsal for a gig, Abby has JoJo jump in to take her place. Kendall isn’t happy about it — she wants to do the duet with Maddie, her best friend.</p><p>Abby says that if Kendall doesn’t want to do the duet with JoJo, then JoJo can do the dance as a solo. Jill is furious, claiming that JoJo’s mom, Jessalynn, should have intervened to stop Abby from giving Kendall’s duet away.</p><p>I wholeheartedly, 100% side with Abby. JoJo got the solo because Kendall didn’t want it. She was willing to step in and give the choreography a try, and she gave the performance her all. JoJo did nothing wrong, and deserved a chance to do a solo, regardless of who the dance was intended for.</p><p>What do you think? Did I miss any big fights? Luckily, <a href="https://play.mylifetime.com/shows/dance-moms/season-1">Seasons 1 through 8 of <em>Dance Moms </em>are available to stream on Lifetime</a>, with many more feuds to debate. </p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background: &lt;/strong&gt;Jerrica Tisdale is a freelance writer at Cinemablend. She joined the team as a freelancer in 2019. She began freelance writing in 2012 (celebrating a big 10-year milestone in 2022). Over the last decade-plus, Jerrica has written for many different publications on pop culture topics, including TellTaleTV, Screenrant, Gossip and Gab, Big Brother Access, The List, Starpulse, and other entertainment sites. She&#039;s also done ghostwriting and copywriting for companies such as Groupon and Staples. If it&#039;s related to writing, Jerrica has probably done it at some point. However, her passion has always been for pop culture and entertainment topics. &amp;nbsp;She grew up with a deep-rooted passion for film and television. &amp;nbsp;One day, she&#039;ll finally be brave enough to write a script or ten thousand scripts. Jerrica considers her true talent to be researching, or as she likes to call it internet detective work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into: &lt;/strong&gt;Her favorite shows include Parks and Rec, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Big Brother, Veronica Mars, Fleabag, Barry, It&#039;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and British panel shows. Her favorite movies include Whiplash, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ruby Sparks, Clueless, What We Do In The Shadows, Atonement, and most movies by David Fincher. Jerrica is also a major book nerd. She has a problem with buying too many books that she may never be able to read all of them, but she will surely try. Her favorite books include Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster, anything by Oscar Wilde, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, and anything by Khaled Hosseini, James Baldwin, Thomas Hardy, and Edgar Allen Poe. Jerrica is always searching for her next favorite but finds that to be a very hard search, so when she finds something she truly loves, she will never stop talking about it. You&#039;ll either hate that or love that about her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now: &lt;/strong&gt;Jerrica is excited that it&#039;s fall movie season, aka Oscar bait season. She plans to invest in a discount movie pass and see as many potential Oscar winners as possible. She&#039;s also going to attend virtual (and possibly in-person) screenings at the Chicago International Film Festival this October. Jerrica is also excited to read as many scary or classic novels throughout the month of October. It is spooky season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Lifetime and V.C. Andrews are a match made in scandalous TV heaven. When <em>Flowers in the Attic</em> <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Flowers-Attic-Lifetime-Movie-Gets-January-Premiere-Date-First-Look-Photo-60533.html"><u>premiered on Lifetime</u></a> in 2014, it was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Flowers-Attic-TV-Movie-Earns-Big-Ratings-Lifetime-61778.html"><u>a major hit</u></a> for the cable channel. It spun off into three sequels: <em>Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, </em>and <em>Seeds of Yesterday. </em>Lifetime then followed those films up with the <em>Ruby </em>movie series, the Casteel family movies, and <em>My Sweet Audrina. </em>In 2022, Lifetime went back to where it all began with <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.</em></p><p>This limited series explores how the Dollanganger-Foxworth clan became so complicated and disastrous. It tells the story of Olivia Foxworth, played in the original Lifetime films by Ellen Burstyn (the star of the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Flowers-Attic-Gets-Festive-Grandmother-Meme-Trailer-Photos-61248.html"><u>Festive Grandmother meme</u></a>). In <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin,</em> Jemima Rooper takes on the role of a young Olivia. The four-part series tackles the marriage of Olivia and Malcolm (Max Irons), and how its venomous nature infects generations of Foxworths.</p><p>If you love the first <em>Flowers in the Attic </em>movies, you may be wondering if it’s really worth it to watch this limited series. The answer is a huge yes. Let me explain why you need to watch <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em>. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="k27Np6HKBQpmoELsXPdmPE" name="The Flowers In The Attic The Origin Why To Watch-2.jpg" alt="Jemima Rooper as Olivia Foxworth in Flowers in the Attic: The Origin" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/k27Np6HKBQpmoELsXPdmPE.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="it-has-familiar-flowers-in-the-attic-characters-xa0">It Has Familiar Flowers In The Attic Characters </h2><p><em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin </em>is all about Olivia. When viewers first meet her in this limited series, she’s not the woman that they’ve come to know in the original <em>Flowers in the Attic </em>films. She’s ambitious, smart, and a little bit of a romantic, but thrives on her independence. Throughout <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em>, she’s also shown as being kind and loving.</p><p>By the second episode of <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em>, viewers start to see other familiar faces. Olivia’s cousin, and eventual butler, John Amos appears throughout the limited series. Paul Wesley portrays the extremely religious John Amos in <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.</em></p><p>The second episode introduces teen Corrine, played by Hannah Dodd. We also may meet the rest of the Dollanganger family by the time the last episode of <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin </em>airs.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="rjDWuSFsTmkPvGcm7ANWeY" name="The Flowers In The Attic The Origin Why To Watch-3.jpg" alt="T'Shan Williams and Jemima Rooper in Flowers in the Attic: The Origin" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rjDWuSFsTmkPvGcm7ANWeY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Lifetime)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="it-deals-with-issues-of-class-race-gender-sexuality-and-other-important-topics-xa0">It Deals With Issues Of Class, Race, Gender, Sexuality, And Other Important Topics </h2><p>Surprisingly, <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin </em>isn’t just confined to the drama that exists within the Foxworth mansion. It addresses some issues that people face during the early to mid-1900s (and still now). Olivia is an unconventional woman of the time, not just because she’s unmarried, but because she’s a partner in her father’s business. She was also very outspoken and opinionated prior to her marriage.  </p><p>Olivia was even involved in the fight for women to get the right to vote. However, there are traces of who she’ll become because of her marriage.</p><p>The topic of race is subtly addressed in <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin. </em>Nella (T’Shan Williams) is a major character in this limited series and she’s one of the Foxworth servants.

Andrews Adaptations </h2><p>The <em>Flowers in the Attic </em>Lifetime movies, and Lifetime’s V.C. Andrews adaptations in general, follow a certain format.

There is a long progression that turns her into that character.</p><p>Incest is a major theme of V.C. Andrews’ novels and their Lifetime movies. In <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin </em>incest is a key part of the story, but it doesn’t come off as vital to the tale as it has in some of the other adaptations.

He’s a villain that you can’t wait to see get his comeuppance.

                                <p>Nearly a week after <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/r-kelly-convicted-on-sex-trafficking-charges-but-what-happens-if-he-gets-out-of-prison"><u>R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison</u></a> for violations of federal anti-sex trafficking laws, the disgraced singer <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-r-kelly-is-placed-on-suicide-watch-amid-sex-trafficking-conviction-his-lawyer-speaks-out"><u>remains on suicide watch</u></a>, despite arguments from his legal team that his constitutional rights are being violated. Shortly after he was placed on suicide watch, Kelly filed a lawsuit asking for compensatory damages and to be taken off suicide watch immediately. </p><p>On July 1, <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/celebrity/r-kelly-says-brooklyn-prison-is-run-like-a-gulag-and-sues-to-be-taken-off-suicide-watch-government-says-its-for-his-own-safety/"><u>Law & Crime</u></a> reports that R. Kelly (real name Robert Sylvester Kelly) filed a Bivens action — which claims a person’s civil liberties were violated by federal officials — against Bureau of Prisons regional official Heriberto H. Tellez, the warden of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the federal government, and other MDC officials. He also sued under the Federal Tort Claims Act, claiming that the suicide watch determination was made without him being suicidal and resulted in severe mental distress.</p><p>In the eight-page federal lawsuit, R. Kelly is seeking to be taken off suicide watch as well as for “compensatory damages for all emotional distress, humiliation, pain and suffering, and other harm in an amount to be determined at trial.”</p><p>R. Kelly’s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean spoke out against her client being put on suicide watch following his sentencing — which came <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/r-kelly-hit-with-lengthy-prison-sentence-nine-months-after-being-found-guilty-of-sex-trafficking"><u>nine months after he was found guilty</u></a> on charges of racketeering and violations of the Mann Act. Bonjean argued that he was not suicidal and the decision was made for “purely punitive reasons.” In a memorandum filed in addition to Kelly’s lawsuit, per Law & Crime, Bonjean said she was informed the reasons he was on “psych alert” were various and included “age, crime, publicity, and sentencing.” She said in the memo:</p><div><blockquote><p>This explanation suggests that the reasons for placing Mr. Kelly on suicide watch have nothing to do with him as an individual or even whether he actually is a suicide risk.</p></blockquote></div><p>However, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York submitted a response to the lawsuit, saying R. Kelly’s request to be removed from suicide watch should be dismissed, and that his placement was a result of the in-person assessment given after he returned to MDC after the 30-year sentence was doled out. The government said in their reply:</p><div><blockquote><p>Based on the clinical assessment and in accordance with Bureau of Prisons policy for preventing suicides, Plaintiff remains on suicide watch for his own safety. Plaintiff provides no salient authority that would permit this Court to take the unprecedented step of mandating that BOP remove an inmate from suicide watch.</p></blockquote></div><p>We’ll have to see what comes of this lawsuit if it goes to trial. R. Kelly is also set to stand trial in Chicago on federal charges of obstruction and child pornography, and he also faces state charges in Illinois and Minnesota. </p><p>His 30-year prison sentence came following decades of allegations of sexual abuse. In 1994, R. Kelly illegally married 15-year-old singer <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2553191/aaliyah-things-to-know-about-the-beloved-late-singer-and-actress">Aaliyah Haughton, who died in 2001</a>. He was arrested in 2002 on 21 counts of child pornography but was ultimately acquitted. In 2017, he faced <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/1682329/r-kelly-accused-of-brainwashing-women-and-more-cult-like-behavior"><u>accusations of brainwashing women</u></a>, which was followed by a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2423642/r-kelly-is-being-sued-for-sexual-assault"><u>sexual battery lawsuit</u></a> in 2018. The 2019 <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464695/r-kelly-apparently-wasnt-very-happy-with-lifetimes-docu-series"><u>Lifetime docuseries </u><u><em>Surviving R. Kelly</em></u></a> (now available to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/netflix-subscription-the-plans-the-price-and-whats-included"><u>Netflix subscribers</u></a>) shined a spotlight on the allegations, and Kelly was arrested shortly thereafter.</p>

She started freelancing for the site in 2020 and officially came on board in 2021. Her job entails writing news stories and TV reactions from some of her favorite prime-time shows like Grey&#039;s Anatomy and The Bachelor. She graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree in Journalism and worked in the newspaper industry for almost two decades in multiple roles including Sports Editor, Page Designer and Online Editor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Heidi grew up in the 1990s, and her tastes strongly reflect that. She can (and does) quote Friends constantly, enjoys a good West Wing binge, thinks Can&#039;t Hardly Wait was the most influential movie of her life and finds solace in 311 concerts. On Sundays during football season, she can be found cheering on the New Orleans Saints with her husband and two daughters. Who Dat! She loves to read but usually settles for a pop culture podcast, and thinks the best weekends are spent cooking and playing cards with friends and family, preferably with some UFC fights or other sporting event on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Football season, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and everything related to fall and cooler weather. The Game of Roses podcast and all things The Bachelor, and new episodes of Grey&#039;s Anatomy, Love Is Blind, The Voice, OMITB and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>The judge recently <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/r-kelly-hit-with-lengthy-prison-sentence-nine-months-after-being-found-guilty-of-sex-trafficking"><u>handed down a lengthy prison sentence</u></a> to Robert Sylvester Kelly — a.k.a. R. Kelly, who is well-known for his R&B hits from the ‘90s — after he was found guilty in September 2021 on one count of racketeering and eight violations of an anti-sex trafficking law. The 55-year-old singer was sentenced to 30 years in prison, which means he presumably could be a free man again when he’s in his 80s. However, as prosecutors warned of his continued danger to society and lack of remorse, there will be a number of conditions and restrictions Kelly will have to follow if that day comes.</p><p>When handing down the 30-year sentence, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/01/r-kelly-federal-prison-sentence-release-special-conditions-sexual-disorder-treatment/"><u>TMZ</u></a> reports, Judge Ann M. Donnelly said upon his release from prison, R. Kelly will be required to undergo mental health treatment that includes therapy for an unspecified sexual disorder. During the trial, Kelly’s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean (who also represented Bill Cosby) had argued for a shorter sentence on the basis of her client’s "hypersexuality" that resulted from sexual abuse as a child.</p><p>The judge also ordered that R. Kelly would have to avoid contact with anyone under 18. The only way he could be in the presence of anyone younger would be if it was a family member or in a therapeutic setting with a “responsible adult” present, and that would have to be approved in advance by his probation officer. </p><p>He would also be required to inform anyone choosing to live with him that he is a sex offender and would remain under supervised release for five years after leaving prison.</p><p>R. Kelly has already been in jail since July 2019. Forty-five witnesses testified in the case against the singer, with accusations including that he lured fans and hopeful singers into sexually abusive situations and would lock victims in rooms for days with no bathroom access or food. </p><p>The sentencing came nine months after he was found guilty of all nine federal sex crimes and followed decades of allegations that began in the 1990s when he illegally married 15-year-old singer Aaliyah Haughton, who <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2553191/aaliyah-things-to-know-about-the-beloved-late-singer-and-actress">died in 2001</a>. Despite being arrested in 2002 on 21 counts of child pornography, the case took six years to go to trial and the singer was ultimately acquitted. But accusations started again in the following years, including that he was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/1682329/r-kelly-accused-of-brainwashing-women-and-more-cult-like-behavior"><u>brainwashing women</u></a> in 2017, and he was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2423642/r-kelly-is-being-sued-for-sexual-assault"><u>sued for sexual battery</u></a> in 2018.</p><p>The allegations against R. Kelly were spotlighted in the 2019 <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464695/r-kelly-apparently-wasnt-very-happy-with-lifetimes-docu-series"><u>Lifetime docuseries </u><u><em>Surviving R. Kelly</em></u></a> (now available to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/netflix-subscription-the-plans-the-price-and-whats-included"><u>Netflix subscribers</u></a>) and he was arrested shortly thereafter.</p><p>The court battles aren’t over for the R&B singer, despite the 30-year prison sentence. He will next stand trial in Chicago on federal charges of obstruction and child pornography, and he also faces state charges in Illinois and Minnesota. We’ll have to see if the upcoming lawsuits result in more time added to his sentence.</p>

                                <p>It&apos;s hard to believe that it&apos;s been 15 years since Reba McEntire&apos;s appropriately named sitcom <em>Reba</em> came to an end. While the series has lived on in the form of streaming repeats and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRdxK6GS/">TikTok fame</a>, there are few things TV fans love more than seeing former co-stars back together on the small screen. And now we know that will indeed be happening for McEntire, who will be joined by her former <em>Reba</em> co-star Melissa Peterman for a new Lifetime movie! (And not even one from the network&apos;s <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/greys-anatomy-vet-sarah-drew-is-returning-to-the-lifetime-christmas-movie-family">star-studded Christmas catalog</a>.)</p><p>Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman, who portrayed Reba Nell Hart and Barbra Jean Hart on Reba, respectively, will go from playing reluctant friends to portraying sisters when they reunite for the new Lifetime film <em>The Hammer</em>, according to <a href="https://tvline.com/2022/06/30/reba-reunion-lifetime-movie-reba-mcentire-melissa-peterman-the-hammer/">TVLine</a>. Inspired by the circuit judge Kim Wanker, whose boasts the titular nickname, the film will star McEntire as the outspoken “appointed Judge of the 5th District of Nevada,” Kim Wheeler, whose brand of justice is her signature trait. What&apos;s more, she&apos;ll also executive produce the flick.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1280px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="FLzTMr3CVEcskvKmNrGEAK" name="1452AF6C-9045-4971-97E1-543E9F2AEF01.jpg" alt="reba mcentire melissa peterman on reba" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FLzTMr3CVEcskvKmNrGEAK.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1280" height="720" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: The WB)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Peterman, meanwhile, will play Kim&apos;s sister Kris, a brothel owner who becomes the prime suspect in the case surrounding a former judge&apos;s death. This obviously won&apos;t fall into the same sitcom tone that <em>Reba</em> fans are used to, which should make it more unique than having them show up together in another multi-cam comedy.</p><p>Among the rest of <em>The Hammer</em>&apos;s cast is Kay Shioma Metchie (<em>Totally Normal</em>) and Reba McEntire&apos;s IRL boyfriend, Rex Linn, known to TV fans of late for roles in <em>Young Sheldon</em> and <em>Better Call Saul</em>. Given the film appears to not have gone into production yet, it&apos;s unknown when a premiere date will be announced. </p><p><em>Reba </em>ran from 2001-2007, airing six seasons total and over 120 episodes. The series aired on The WB for the majority of the run before airing its final season on The CW following the WB and UPN merger. Despite the sitcom ending a while ago, Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman have remained close. During the initial COVID lockdown at the height of the pandemic in April 2020, the two teamed up for a fun social distancing sketch that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C-GK2C&v=560681154850456">McEntire posted to her social media</a>. They reprised their beloved roles, putting smiles on fans’ faces during a dark time. </p><p>2022 is proving to be a busy year for McEntire, one of many <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2573654/country-singers-whove-given-great-movie-and-tv-performances">country singers with actings skills</a> have been put to the test. The singer released her CD and DVD <em>My Chains Are Gone </em>earlier this year, for which she performed some of the most beloved hymns of all time. As of now, she has no upcoming tour dates, which is okay since <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2556941/reba-mcentire-has-finally-landed-another-starring-role-on-tv-7-years-after-malibu-country">she will be busy on television</a>. Along with <em>The Hammer</em>, McEntire was recently cast as Sunny Brick for the upcoming third season of ABC&apos;s <em>Big Sky</em>, where she will be a series regular. <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2488644/young-sheldon-cast-a-country-music-superstar-for-a-fiery-new-role">She has also been recurring in CBS&apos; <em>Young Sheldon</em></a><em> </em>along with her hubby since 2020.</p><p>Melissa Peterman, meanwhile, is perhaps best known in the intervening years for starring in ABC Family/Freeform&apos;s <em>Baby Daddy</em>, which ended in 2017. She&apos;s appeared in a slew of shows as both an actress, a judge, and a performer — from <em>Last Man Standing</em> to <em>The Singing Bee</em> to <em>Worst Cooks in America</em> — and can also currently be seen in a recurring capacity on <em>Young Sheldon.</em></p><p>Seeing Reba and BJ back again will be something to look forward to, so hopefully, Lifetime announces a premiere date for <em>The Hammer </em>soon!

She started freelancing for the site in 2020 and officially came on board in 2021. Her job entails writing news stories and TV reactions from some of her favorite prime-time shows like Grey&#039;s Anatomy and The Bachelor. She graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree in Journalism and worked in the newspaper industry for almost two decades in multiple roles including Sports Editor, Page Designer and Online Editor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Heidi grew up in the 1990s, and her tastes strongly reflect that. She can (and does) quote Friends constantly, enjoys a good West Wing binge, thinks Can&#039;t Hardly Wait was the most influential movie of her life and finds solace in 311 concerts. On Sundays during football season, she can be found cheering on the New Orleans Saints with her husband and two daughters. Who Dat! She loves to read but usually settles for a pop culture podcast, and thinks the best weekends are spent cooking and playing cards with friends and family, preferably with some UFC fights or other sporting event on TV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Football season, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and everything related to fall and cooler weather. The Game of Roses podcast and all things The Bachelor, and new episodes of Grey&#039;s Anatomy, Love Is Blind, The Voice, OMITB and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Abby Lee Miller rose to fame as the no-nonsense teacher on <em>Dance Moms</em>, a reality show that showcased a group of young dancers on a competition team in Pittsburgh... and their mothers. Along the way, some of those girls became well-known, too, and as her most talented students — including Maddie Ziegler and JoJo Siwa — started to get actual paying jobs, Miller’s luck took a bad turn, and she ended up <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1656939/former-dance-moms-star-abby-lee-miller-has-been-sentenced-to-prison"><u>spending eight months in prison for fraud</u></a>. The teacher said that none of her Lifetime co-stars reached out to her while she served her time, and four years since her release, she’s still furious about it.</p><p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/abby-lee-miller-calls-out-dance-moms-families-who-abandoned-her-while-she-was-in-prison-exclusive"><u>ET</u></a>, Abby Lee Miller called out the families who were featured for multiple seasons on the Lifetime reality show, saying that she helped them achieve success, only to have them distance themselves when she fell on tough times:</p><div><blockquote><p>Shame on you. Shame on you after what I did for you, for your children — helped make you a lot of money. You couldn’t come to visit me for eight and a half months? You couldn’t send a card, a letter?</p></blockquote></div><p>While Abby Lee Miller was originally sentenced to a year and a day in prison, she was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2393871/abby-lee-miller-just-got-out-of-prison-early-sort-of"><u>released to a halfway house</u></a> after eight months because of ongoing health issues. She said that although she didn’t hear from her former dancers, she did get plenty of correspondence from other children around the world: </p><div><blockquote><p>I was getting mail from children in other countries and somehow, twelve-and thirteen-year-old little girls were finding the address. They were getting their cards and letters to me, and people here, that I taught their children before the television show — they were very happy customers before Dance Moms and then during it, they were stars, they were making money, they were on top of the world — and you’re just going to dump me?</p></blockquote></div><p>The dance teacher said she doesn’t understand how they can’t give her the credit she’s due for her work in helping them become successful. She may be right, but the relationships between Abby Lee Miller and the families who surrounded her on the show were always fraught with drama, long before Miller’s legal woes came to light. There were assault allegations (<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/dance-moms-abby-lee-miller-809262/"><u>dismissed for lack of evidence</u></a>), and moms constantly were either quitting or being thrown out by the studio owner. </p><p>Maddie Ziegler, who appeared in <em>West Side Story</em> last year, left during Season 6 to work with pop star Sia, straining the close student/teacher relationship she’d shared with Abby Lee Miller. Ziegler, who also <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/trailers/jenna-ortega-and-maddie-ziegler-bond-over-shared-trauma-in-hbo-maxs-the-fallout-trailer"><u>starred in </u><u><em>The Fallout</em></u><u> with Jenna Ortega</u></a>, confirmed in 2018 that she <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/maddie-ziegler-abby-lee-miller-dont-talke-973327"><u>no longer spoke to her former instructor</u></a>. Chloe Lukasiak initially left the studio after Season 4 and has since <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vhVRZyVVo4"><u>revealed</u></a> the reason was because she overheard the dance teacher making fun of a medical condition she has.</p><p>One former member of the Abby Lee Dance Company who the teacher doesn’t seem to have any beef with is JoJo Siwa. <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2563215/jojo-siwas-former-dance-moms-teacher-abby-lee-miller-shares-feelings-after-her-coming-out"><u>Abby Lee Miller spoke out in support</u></a> of the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/so-you-think-you-can-dance-reveals-overhauled-judges-panel-without-nigel-lythgoe-and-it-includes-jojo-siwa"><u>new </u><u><em>So You Think You Can Dance</em></u><u> judge</u></a> when Siwa came out in 2021, and she said Siwa still keeps in touch.</p><p>Only time will tell if Abby Lee Miller will ever bury the hatchet with her other former <em>Dance Moms</em> stars, but it seems like there are still some bruised egos at play, even four years later.

The only thing she loves more than watching movies is writing about them in movie reviews, which she has done so for AllMovie and the Watercooler. Her freelance journey has veered into other areas of interest as well, such as editing and consulting work. As a news writer for CinemaBlend, Lauren covers topics related to pop culture, streaming titles and the reality TV beat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What They&#039;re Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Lauren’s shortlist of favorite films of all time includes Lord of the Rings, Snowpiercer, Hitchcock’s Notorious, Kristen Stewart’s entire catalogue and countless others. For scripted television, it’ll always be Battlestar Galactica to the bitter end. But she is also a connoisseur of reality shows on the Bravo network and the Travel Channel. You’ll never find a bigger Survivor superfan with no desire to actually compete than her, too.	&lt;/p&gt;

Blige - have made their mark during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. But none resulted in as much controversy and speculation as Janet Jackson’s performance at the 38th Super Bowl game in 2004. Justin Timberlake famously pulled a certain piece of Jackson’s clothing off, resulting in a serious wardrobe malfunction thereafter. The <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2562840/justin-timberlake-apologizes-to-britney-spears-and-janet-jackson-in-response-to-documentary-backlash">backlash for the situation</a>, frequently referred to as “Nipplegate,” was mostly aimed at Jackson herself. However, the singer now has a pointed message for the Internet regarding who is or isn&apos;t at fault.</p><p>For context, in the weeks following the infamous mishap, there was a ton of uproar from politicians and viewers alike that Janet Jackson had “sexualized” a family-friendly event. They speculated that it was done on purpose as a PR stunt and, as a result, Jackson was summarily disinvited from the Grammys that year. Her <em>Damita Jo</em> album was also banned from being played on MTV and VH1 as well.</p><p>Justin Timberlake wouldn’t catch as much flak for the Super Bowl ordeal at the time. But in the recent wake of fans <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2562710/justin-timberlake-is-the-latest-celebrity-facing-backlash-after-hulus-framing-britney-spears-hit-streaming">questioning his treatment of Britney Spears</a> in the early aughts, the former *NSYNC member eventually saw some backlash for how he was treated in 2004 versus how the "Rhythm Nation" singer was – and it’s <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/justin-timberlake-cant-get-outta-the-streaming-spotlight-as-hulu-follows-up-framing-britney-spears-with-janet-jackson-nipplegate-project">gotten the official Hulu treatment</a>. He has <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2562921/janet-jackson-posts-sweet-message-to-fans-after-justin-timberlake-apologizes-to-her-and-britney-spears">publicly apologized</a>, yet in her new <a href="https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/janet">Lifetime</a> documentary, the youngest of the Jackson family revealed that she advised Timberlake to let her take most of the heat for the situation. (Her stylist, however, has some choice words <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/janet-jacksons-super-bowl-stylist-has-nothing-but-clapbacks-for-justin-timberlakes-wardrobe-malfunction-claim">for how Timberlake ultimately handled things</a>.) Jackson also said:</p><div><blockquote><p>Honestly, this whole thing was blown way out of proportion. And, of course, it was an accident that should not have happened but everyone is looking for someone to blame, and that’s got to stop. Justin and I are very good friends and we will always be very good friends. We spoke just a few days ago. He and I have moved on and it’s time for everyone else to do the same.</p></blockquote></div><p>The pop star continued in the documentary that being blacklisted after the wardrobe malfunction took a “toll” on her, adding that she was only able to “pull-through” because of friends and family. In the four-part Lifetime series, several of those closest to her in fact backed up her side of the story, sayin that it was all an accident. Her brother, Tito Jackson, suggested that all the hoopla in 2004 was really due to Michael Jackson’s trial that was simultaneously gearing up. Her sister, Rebbie Jackson, claimed that her own kids witnessed Janet profusely crying immediately after the incident.</p><p>Likewise, Janet Jackson&apos;s then-boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri, who was in the audience at the Super Bowl, firmly stated that the malfunction wasn&apos;t purposely done to gain publicity. The notorious producer added that he felt compelled to leave his position on the board of the Grammys that year because of how they were treating Jackson.</p><p>In this day and age of the Internet, so many <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/miley-cyrus-had-a-new-years-eve-wardrobe-malfunction-and-dealt-with-it-like-a-rock-star">wardrobe malfunctions are laughed off</a> that the 2004 Super Bowl issue is kind of an afterthought at this point. But hopefully, with Janet Jackson speaking the final word on it, there can be some closure and respect for what happened to her then. The full self-titled <em>JANET JACKSON.</em> documentary is available to stream on Lifetime and A&E.</p>

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                                <p>Unless you completely avoid all things Christmas as though your life depended on it, you’re probably at least aware of the fact that holiday movies are a big deal to a lot of people. This is especially true of the made-for-TV variety of holiday films, with Hallmark Christmas movies, and those from Lifetime, dominating the airwaves for well over a month before the actual holiday. Former <em>Sabrina the Teenage Witch</em> star Melissa Joan Hart has been <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/greys-anatomy-vet-sarah-drew-is-returning-to-the-lifetime-christmas-movie-family"><u>in several of these movies</u></a> now, and she’s opened up about why she keeps making Lifetime Christmas movies.</p><p>Melissa Joan Hart is gearing up for the release of her latest Lifetime Christmas movie, <em>Mistletoe in Montana</em>, on December 17, and while talking to <a href="https://www.tvinsider.com/1023401/mistletoe-in-montana-melissa-joan-hart-lifetime/"><u>TV Insider</u></a> about the project was asked why she keeps returning to the network for <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/the-holiday-fix-ups-jana-kramer-talks-being-present-in-the-social-media-age"><u>their holiday fare</u></a>. This marks her fifth year in a row starring in a Lifetime Christmas movie, and it turns out that Hart is a fan of the style, as she noted:</p><div><blockquote><p>They allow us to go outside the formula a little more, I think. There’s a bit more comedy infused.</p></blockquote></div><p>While Hart did her first Lifetime holiday film back in 2014 (that’s <em>The Santa Con</em>, where she co-starred with Barry Watson and Jaleel White), it wasn’t until 2017’s <em>A Very Merry Toy Store</em> that she started on a path of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558813/lifetime-had-strangest-approach-to-christmas-movie-co-stars-kissing-during-covid"><u>helping to deliver</u></a> yearly Christmas joy to Lifetime viewers. And, from having watched her movies and several of the channel’s other offerings, I can confirm that they do tend to lean hard on the comedy if they’re going to feature funny stuff at all.</p><p>And, it’s lovely. As Hart noted, there are <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox"><u>lots of pieces to the formula</u></a> that’s been developed for these movies, and one of the reasons that so many people love them dearly is because they know what they’re getting. Regardless of the particulars of any of these stories, the audience can comfortably sit back with their spiked hot cocoa (don’t act like you’ve never done it) and let all the troubles of their day fade away so that they can <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2554778/lifetime-reveals-details-and-casts-for-first-lgbtq-and-asian-led-christmas-movies"><u>revel in the romance</u></a> and Christmas spirit held within, even if they’re not really feeling either in their real lives.</p><p>Of course, it should be noted that Hart also did a relatively recent Hallmark Christmas movie, 2016’s <em>Broadcasting Christmas</em>, but while several actors do films for each channel, she’s stuck with Lifetime. This may be because she likes the pure, silly pleasure she’s found in the Lifetime offerings way more than some of the intensely earnest stories that come from Hallmark on a yearly basis, though both types of movies <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/hallmarks-candace-cameron-bure-on-the-pressure-that-comes-with-starring-in-the-networks-christmas-movies"><u>give fans a lot to love</u></a>.</p><p>Speaking about that beloved formula, there is one thing that viewers of all of these Christmas movies need to see, regardless of whatever else happens, and Hart believes that Lifetime manages to always deliver that, while still <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/monique-coleman-and-corbin-bleu-on-the-special-and-beautiful-diversity-in-lifetimes-a-christmas-dance-reunion"><u>stepping outside of the typical rules</u></a> applied. She continued:</p><div><blockquote><p>People at Christmastime want a happy ending. They want to know the girl gets the guy.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne Jones is a Senior Content Producer at CinemaBlend, and started at the site in the fall of 2015. In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yennefer&#039;s apprentice, Gilmore Girl; will Vulcan nerve pinch pretty much anyone if prompted with cheese...Yes, even Jamie Fraser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Weather and raccoons that only come out at night!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Okay, Wildcats, time to get your heads in the game because <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/monique-coleman"><u>Monique Coleman</u></a> and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/corbin-bleu"><u>Corbin Bleu</u></a> have reunited for a Christmas movie. No, they aren’t reprising their <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/title/2567808/high-school-musical"><u><em>High School Musical</em></u></a> roles, but they do play high school sweethearts who reunite as adults in Lifetime’s <em>A Christmas Dance Reunion</em>. They are the leads in this film, they are magic together, and they recently discussed what was so special about the diversity on the film.</p><p>For many Black actors, it hasn’t been the easiest road. Monique Coleman has discussed how her <em>High School Musical</em> character had <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2562078/high-school-musicals-monique-coleman-characters-signature-headbands-disney"><u>a signature headband</u></a> because the stylists didn’t know how to do her hair. Thankfully, Coleman shines as leading lady to Corbin Bleu’s leading man in Lifetime’s <em>A Christmas Dance Reunion</em> and the whole experience sounds like it was delightful and empowering. Here’s what Coleman said when I asked about the diversity at Lifetime’s press conference:</p><div><blockquote><p>It's definitely shifted so much. The fact that we can even have this conversation and be open about it is I think definitely progress. Corbin and I both are very collaborative in the process. We don't take a backseat to what we're doing. We really want to be involved every step of the way. And so it's been really wonderful to watch the industry catch up and also personally to be able to make stronger and different choices about how I want to be presented and so forth. I feel like there's a lot more room.  And not just diversity amongst -- like racial diversity, but also diversity within a race. I think oftentimes, I have been cast in roles that someone could perceive as a token role... something that is so special and beautiful about "A Christmas Dance Reunion" is that you just have this family. You've got these people and they just are different shades of Black and it's not just one note or one tone. And that is really very exciting to see what the possibilities are now that these other universes are opening up where we can see ourselves from here. </p></blockquote></div><p>The love that the members of this cast have for one another is palpable on-screen. You can see that everyone cares about the story they’re telling, the people they’re portraying, and the communities they are representing. <em>A Christmas Dance Reunion </em>offers not only representation in the Black community but is inclusive of LGBTQIA+, differently-abled, and various age groups. </p><p>One of the coolest things about having <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/why-idris-elba-is-encouraged-about-black-characters-in-cinema"><u>Black leads</u></a> in <em>A Christmas Dance Reunion </em>is that the story has absolutely nothing to do with their race. The story is about reconnecting, finding lost love, and celebrating hope for the future. It’s so beautiful and uplifting and you can see how empowered the leads feel through the power in their dance routines. Corbin Bleu elaborates on this with the following:</p><div><blockquote><p>What's so amazing and so important to me about this film is that all of that goes unsaid. To me, the stuff that I grew up watching, all of the MGM classic musicals and never really getting a chance to see representation of myself in that character. And most of the time growing up, if I was watching someone of color, then it was the token. And usually, the phrases that were coming out of that person's mouth or the kind of demeanor of a certain -- it always was a very specific category.  Or they were there because the driving force of their storyline was because they're Black. It has to do with their struggle. It has to do with the fact that they're not represented. And we have romance stories, too. We have positivity without the struggle, as well. That struggle is always there, but we will only see that struggle and only see that representation if those are the only stories that we continue to tell. So that's why this really to me was such a beautiful, beautiful experience and really important. And I want to see more of it and Mo and I need to do more of that together. </p></blockquote></div><p>Did you catch that last line? <em>Mo and I need to do more of it together</em>. You heard it here first! More projects with Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman are a possibility for the future. I want to see them writing, directing, and producing the next one. They are one of the most phenomenal creative pairs of our time.</p><p><em>A Christmas Dance Reunion</em> premieres on Friday, December 3rd, at 8/7 Central only on Lifetime.

                                <p>How long has it been since you looked at your phone? Was your screen time up 20% last week, too? With the holidays upon us, it’s a great time to be intentional with our time and present with those around us. <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/jana-kramer"><u>Jana Kramer</u></a> agrees, and has shared what filming <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/lifetime"><u>Lifetime’s</u></a> <em>The Holiday Fix Up</em> taught her about being present in the social media age.</p><p><em>The Holiday Fix Up</em> is part of the It’s A Wonderful Lifetime holiday movie lineup and stars Jana Kramer and Ryan McPartlin as exes who reunite for a renovation project. Kramer’s character, Sam, is a well-known interior designer who’s been challenged by her boss to use social media to let her fans see more of her sensitive side. I recently participated in a press conference in support of It’s A Wonderful Lifetime and asked Kramer, who also serves as an Executive Producer on the film, how this social media angle came about. Here’s what she said: </p><div><blockquote><p>I think what I learned…actually, yes, we showed how it can bring people together, but, for me, personally, what I took away from the movie the most is actually about putting the phone down… where it’s back in the day when we didn’t have the cell phones and we were able to just disconnect and be in a room together and not be glued to Instagram or the phone. And that’s what I took away from it the most – it is just having that distraction away to really just be present with the people in front of me. So that’s something that I would like to lean more into.</p></blockquote></div><p>Jana Kramer is very social media savvy, particularly on Instagram where she gives fans a window into her life as an actress, country singer, podcast host, single mom, author, and so much more. What’s cool is that her character in <em>The Holiday Fix Up</em>, Sam, has no idea how to use social media. Sam eventually learns how being vulnerable on social media can bring people closer together, and while telling this story Kramer also learned <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2573039/it-takes-three-star-aurora-perrineau-talks-the-weight-social-media-has-on-actors"><u>the importance of disconnecting</u></a>.</p><p>Co-star and fellow Executive Producer <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/tag/ryan-mcpartlin"><u>Ryan McPartlin</u></a> also shared his take on social media that will give fans a lot to think about. His character, Coop, doesn’t have any social accounts and still uses a flip phone. While that sounds like a nightmare to some and a dream to others, there are pros and cons to everything. Here’s what McPartlin shared:</p><div><blockquote><p>I think that social media caught us all by storm and there were no rules. There was no teaching moment. We didn’t come up in school with teachers saying ‘you should compartmentalize this.’  And then the job of these apps and the social media companies is to see how many hours they can get out of your day spent on these apps. So, there is a lot of benefit to it and there’s a lot of businesses that thrive from it. Our small business that we have came about because of social media and there’s a lot of charities that do very well -- but it is a danger, and it’s going to be. It’s interesting that the back-and-forth that our characters had about compartmentalizing and what to use it for, and how to use it. I think that’s a real conversation that should be had in every household right now.</p></blockquote></div><p>Ryan McPartlin is right on the money here. There are truly so many wonderful things about social networking apps and there are so many detrimental aspects of them. It’s all about balance, as the characters show us in <em>The Holiday Fix Up</em>. Not only do the two characters reconnect to renovate an Inn that is near to both of their hearts, but they also learn the different paths they’ve taken in life and how growing a social media following helped one of them thrive while the other stayed away from it.</p><p><em>The Holiday Fix Up</em> airs on Lifetime on December 11 at 8/7 c.

She also loves to listen to music, with Taylor Swift being on the top of her playlist. She isn’t a huge sports person but will occasionally root for the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Wisconsin Badgers.

                                <p>After Sarah Drew returned to <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em> in Season 17 to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2564275/greys-anatomy-is-bringing-back-sarah-drews-april-kepner-japril-season-17">round out Jackson’s story</a>, fans were hopeful that it could turn into a spinoff following Japril moving across the country to start their new lives together with Harriet. Even though that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2569347/a-new-greys-anatomy-spinoff-for-jackson-heres-what-jesse-williams-says-sarah-drew-abc">spinoff is not in the works</a>, as of now, fans will still be able to see Drew on their TVs. She’s officially returning to the Lifetime Christmas movie family, but not just as an actress.</p><p>Via <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/11/sarah-drew-two-picture-deal-lifetime-headline-holiday-films-its-a-wonderful-lifetime-slate-1234865252/">Deadline</a>, Sarah Drew has made a two-picture deal with Lifetime after starring in two of the network’s highest-rated holiday movies. The contract will have Drew star in, write and executive produce films for Lifetime’s annual It’s a Wonderful Lifetime movie slate. The <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558083/greys-anatomys-sarah-drew-is-finally-returning-to-tv-after-two-cancellations"><em>Cruel Summer </em>star</a> was seen in <em>Twinkle All the Way </em>and <em>Christmas Pen Pals </em>for Lifetime<em> </em>and 2020’s <em>Christmas in Vienna </em>for Hallmark.</p><p>One film in development is <em>Reindeer Games</em>, which Sarah Drew actually wrote. The film follows a Hollywood star who returns to his hometown following a breakup. He is dragged into “Reindeer Games,” the town’s holiday fundraising tradition. But of course, he falls for a former classmate whom he ignored in high school and who he is competing against. While she is determined to win, he is determined to win her heart.</p><p>On top of <em>Reindeer Games</em>, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2566110/cruel-summer-cast-where-youve-seen-the-freeform-tv-show-stars-before">Sarah Drew is also set to star</a> in <em>Stolen Hearts: The Lizbeth Meredith Story</em>, based on a true story, which was just recently greenlit. She will portray the titular character who has to get her daughters back after her ex kidnaps them and takes them to Greece. Drew is definitely keeping busy, since she also has Season 2 of Freeform’s surprise summer mystery hit <em>Cruel Summer </em>on the way. The series was renewed on the day of the first season finale, and with the way the season went, it wasn’t a surprise, especially after that cliffhanger.</p><p>Meanwhile, <em>Reindeer Games </em>will mark the second film that will have Sarah Drew attached as an executive producer. She starred in and executive produced the 2018 Christian drama movie <em>Indivisible</em>, which also starred former on-screen <em>Grey’s Anatomy </em>hubby Justin Bruening and Tia Mowry. Drew getting more into executive producing should definitely be a good thing for her moving forward, as she’s able to branch out and do even more projects.</p><p>Although this deal with Lifetime is only for two movies, it’s possible the network could extend the contract and collaborate on even more films. Lifetime and Hallmark are the two biggest channels for <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2558832/cute-christmas-movies-to-watch-streaming-for-free">Christmas movies</a> and both of them have mainstay stars that return year after year. Sarah Drew returning to the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558813/lifetime-had-strangest-approach-to-christmas-movie-co-stars-kissing-during-covid">Lifetime Christmas family</a> is jolly news, and <em>Grey&apos;s Anatomy</em> fans can look forward to seeing her playing another kind of character. </p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background: &lt;/strong&gt;Jerrica Tisdale is a freelance writer at Cinemablend. She joined the team as a freelancer in 2019. She began freelance writing in 2012 (celebrating a big 10-year milestone in 2022). Over the last decade-plus, Jerrica has written for many different publications on pop culture topics, including TellTaleTV, Screenrant, Gossip and Gab, Big Brother Access, The List, Starpulse, and other entertainment sites. She&#039;s also done ghostwriting and copywriting for companies such as Groupon and Staples. If it&#039;s related to writing, Jerrica has probably done it at some point. However, her passion has always been for pop culture and entertainment topics. &amp;nbsp;She grew up with a deep-rooted passion for film and television. &amp;nbsp;One day, she&#039;ll finally be brave enough to write a script or ten thousand scripts. Jerrica considers her true talent to be researching, or as she likes to call it internet detective work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into: &lt;/strong&gt;Her favorite shows include Parks and Rec, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Big Brother, Veronica Mars, Fleabag, Barry, It&#039;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and British panel shows. Her favorite movies include Whiplash, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ruby Sparks, Clueless, What We Do In The Shadows, Atonement, and most movies by David Fincher. Jerrica is also a major book nerd. She has a problem with buying too many books that she may never be able to read all of them, but she will surely try. Her favorite books include Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster, anything by Oscar Wilde, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, and anything by Khaled Hosseini, James Baldwin, Thomas Hardy, and Edgar Allen Poe. Jerrica is always searching for her next favorite but finds that to be a very hard search, so when she finds something she truly loves, she will never stop talking about it. You&#039;ll either hate that or love that about her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now: &lt;/strong&gt;Jerrica is excited that it&#039;s fall movie season, aka Oscar bait season. She plans to invest in a discount movie pass and see as many potential Oscar winners as possible. She&#039;s also going to attend virtual (and possibly in-person) screenings at the Chicago International Film Festival this October. Jerrica is also excited to read as many scary or classic novels throughout the month of October. It is spooky season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Andrews’ estate and Lifetime have had a pretty successful relationship so far. Lifetime <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Flowers-Attic-TV-Movie-Earns-Big-Ratings-Lifetime-61778.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1268499/Flowers-Attic-TV-Movie-Earns-Big-Ratings-Lifetime">scored huge ratings</a> with <em>Flowers in the Attic</em>, and then went on to make three sequels. They all performed well for Lifetime in terms of viewers and creating buzz. Since <em>Flowers in the Attic</em>’s premiere, there have been several more lifetime miniseries following V.C. Andrews’s beloved book series. Now, Lifetime plans to return to the V.C. Andrews’s lifetime miniseries that started it all: The Dollanganger series. <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> is the latest Dollanganger series planned by Lifetime.</p><p>In August, Lifetime and A+E Studios announced plans for a new lifetime miniseries about the origins that led to the Dollangangers and their cursed family. <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> is already becoming a must-watch series, not only for fans of V.C. Andrews, but for those excited about the cast, storyline, and much more. Let’s look at what we know so far about <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.</em></p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="yeaSDppUYaEAVskiMEV8Lm" name="" alt="Kiernan Shipka, Mason Dye, Ava Telek, and Maxwell Kovach in Flowers in The Attic" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yeaSDppUYaEAVskiMEV8Lm.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yeaSDppUYaEAVskiMEV8Lm.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><h2 id="flowers-in-the-attic-the-origin-is-a-four-part-miniseries">Flowers In The Attic: The Origin Is A Four-Part Miniseries</h2><p>Unlike <em>Flowers in the Attic</em> <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Petals-Wind-Sequels-There-Thorns-Seeds-Yesterday-Coming-Lifetime-64313.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1293749/Petals-Wind-Sequels-There-Thorns-Seeds-Yesterday-Coming-Lifetime">and the three other</a> Lifetime films in that series which were all structured as movies, it seems as if <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> will be based around one book, extended to four parts.</p><p>We aren’t sure if each of these four parts will have a runtime of 60 minutes or longer, as that information hasn't been revealed yet. Since <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> is being labeled a Lifetime miniseries instead of as a series of movies, I would suspect that each part will be about one hour, maybe a little bit over, but not reach the 2-hour mark.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="YXGJ6qKNpPzjFiWj3wjc6R" name="" alt="Kelsey Grammer in Boss" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YXGJ6qKNpPzjFiWj3wjc6R.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YXGJ6qKNpPzjFiWj3wjc6R.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><h2 id="flowers-in-the-attic-the-origin-has-an-all-star-cast-that-includes-kelsey-grammer">Flowers In The Attic: The Origin Has An All-Star Cast That Includes Kelsey Grammer</h2><p><em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> has the most impressive cast yet for these V.C. Andrews Lifetime adaptations. It has many well-known names involved in this project. The most well-known may be Kelsey Grammer, who built a dedicated fan base over the years with <em>Cheers</em> <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2561621/what-the-frasier-cast-is-doing-now-including-kelsey-grammer" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2561621/what-the-frasier-cast-is-doing-now-including-kelsey-grammer">and then <em>Frasier</em></a><em>.</em> Grammer has also appeared in popular TV shows and movies like <em>Boss, Entourage,</em> <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1564720/would-kelsey-grammer-ever-do-another-x-men-movie-heres-what-he-said" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1564720/would-kelsey-grammer-ever-do-another-x-men-movie-heres-what-he-said">the <em>X-Men</em> franchise</a>, <em>Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,</em> and <em>Modern Family.</em></p><p>Grammer plays Garland Foxworth in <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.</em> He’s the father of Malcolm Foxworth, who will be one of the main characters of this Lifetime miniseries. Malcolm is played by Max Irons. Irons has appeared in <em>The Host, The Riot Club, Terminal, The White Queen, Condor,</em> and <em>The Little Drummer Girl.</em></p><p>Irons shares the spotlight with Jemima Rooper. Many may recognize Rooper for playing Thelma on <em>Hex</em>. Hex is a series that far too many people haven’t heard of, but it included a young Michael Fassbender and Joseph Morgan, so definitely worth watching one day. She also appeared in <em>Midsomer Murders, Lost in Austen, Silent Witness,</em> and <em>Gold Digger.</em> Rooper is playing Olivia Foxworth, the grandmother of Cathy and Chris in the original <em>Flowers in the Attic</em> series.</p><p>She was <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Flowers-Attic-Ellen-Burstyn-Heather-Graham-Return-Petals-Wind-61955.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1270239/Flowers-Attic-Ellen-Burstyn-Heather-Graham-Return-Petals-Wind">played by Ellen Burstyn</a> in the original Lifetime movie series. The cast also includes Paul Wesley as John Amos, another character from the original miniseries. Amos was played by Mackenzie Gray in <em>If There Be Thorns.</em> Wesley is best known for playing Stefan Salvatore <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477490/why-vampire-diaries-paul-wesley-will-never-play-stefan-again-even-if-legacies-revived-him" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477490/why-vampire-diaries-paul-wesley-will-never-play-stefan-again-even-if-legacies-revived-him">on <em>The Vampire Diaries.</em></a> He has also had roles in <em>Before I Disappear, The Late Bloomer, Wolf Lake, American Dreams, The O.C, Everwood, Fallen,</em> <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2496097/vampire-diaries-vet-paul-wesleys-tell-me-a-story-cancelled-but-its-not-all-bad-news" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2496097/vampire-diaries-vet-paul-wesleys-tell-me-a-story-cancelled-but-its-not-all-bad-news">and <em>Tell Me A Story.</em></a></p><p><em>The Flowers in the Attic Cast</em> also includes Harry Hamlin as Olivia’s father, Kate Mulgrew as Mrs. Steiner, Alana Boden as Alicia, Callum Kerr as Christopher, T’Shan Williams as Nella. Other characters will be played by Luke Fetherston, Buck Braithwaite, Jordan Peters, Evelyn Miller, Rawdat Quadri, Emmanuel Ogunjinmi, David Witts, Carla Woodcock, and Peter Bramhill.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="pLcd8e4kyxB252Wu9zSLPV" name="" alt="Ellen Burstyn and Kiernan Shipka in Flowers in the Attic" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pLcd8e4kyxB252Wu9zSLPV.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pLcd8e4kyxB252Wu9zSLPV.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><h2 id="flowers-in-the-attic-the-origin-follows-the-events-of-garden-of-shadows">Flowers In The Attic: The Origin Follows The Events of Garden Of Shadows</h2><p><em>Garden of Shadows</em> is one of the original books in the Dollanganger series. It was the fifth book and told the story of Olivia, and details some of Corrine’s childhood and relationship with Christopher. The story is really Olivia’s <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2481747/6-dc-comics-villains-that-deserve-a-joker-like-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2481747/6-dc-comics-villains-that-deserve-a-joker-like-movie">villain origin story.</a> This is the only one of the original Dollanganger books to dig deep into the Foxworth family’s past.</p><p>However, in 2019, Andrew Neiderman (under V.C. Andrews’s pen name) began writing more Dollanganger prequel novels. This time focusing on Malcolm's father Garland and his mother Corrine. There are three books in this new trilogy, but I don’t think that the <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> miniseries will focus on these books. Some things from them may be mentioned, but all four-parts of the Lifetime miniseries will likely just come from parts of <em>Garden of Shadows.</em></p><p>The book starts with Olivia as a young woman and follows her up until the Dollanganger children move into her attic. This means there are several decades for the <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> miniseries to explore. It’s more than enough material for four episodes or movies.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="WwMRqDTeMQYoLE6Q2oQYA3" name="" alt="Jason Lewis and Rachael Carpani in If There Be Thorns" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WwMRqDTeMQYoLE6Q2oQYA3.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WwMRqDTeMQYoLE6Q2oQYA3.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><h2 id="flowers-in-the-attic-the-origin-premieres-in-2022">Flowers In The Attic: The Origin Premieres In 2022</h2><p>Lifetime has not made any official release date announcement. The official pre-production announcement happened in August 2021, and it’s unlikely that filming has begun on the miniseries as of September 2021. Filming will likely begin in fall 2021, which means this new Lifetime miniseries is unlikely to begin airing until winter 2022.</p><p><em>Flowers in the Attic</em> originally premiered in January 2014. Then <em>Petals on the Wind</em> <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Petals-Wind-Photos-Tease-Ballet-Family-May-Premiere-Date-Set-63027.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1280929/Petals-Wind-Photos-Tease-Ballet-Family-May-Premiere-Date-Set">aired in May 2014.</a> The final two films <em>If There Be Thorns</em> and <em>Seeds of Yesterday</em> both aired in April 2015. If we go by this pattern, the films may air anywhere from winter 2022 to spring 2022.</p><p>We also don’t know how Lifetime plans to release this miniseries. They could all be released on the same day, scattered throughout the week or once a week. Since it’s being marketed as a miniseries, I would assume all four parts will be released near one another. I would also assume that this would be something that Lifetime wants to be released as soon as possible,</p><p>If I had to make a prediction about <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em>’s release date and schedule, I would predict that Lifetime will likely release it in the spring or early summer of 2022 as a four-night event. But we'll have to wait and see what's announced.</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="xwRZygpKS3nW6ciS8cMfan" name="" alt="Rose McIver and Will Kemp in Petals on the Wind" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xwRZygpKS3nW6ciS8cMfan.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xwRZygpKS3nW6ciS8cMfan.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><h2 id="flowers-in-the-attic-the-origin-has-two-directors">Flowers In The Attic: The Origin Has Two Directors</h2><p>Deborah Chow, Karen Moncrieff, Nancy Savoca, and Shawn Ku directed the four movies in the original <em>Flowers in the Attic</em> Lifetime series.

O’Dwyer has directed episodes of <em>Free Rein, Vera, Crazyhead, Atlantis, Casualty, Merlin,</em> and <em>Wolfblood.</em> Sheppard has directed episodes of <em>Harlots, The Cafe, Kingdom, Perfect Strangers,</em> and <em>The Bad Mother’s Handbook.</em></p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="YtXUareooF2tnJkHjtMiJc" name="" alt="Eileen Burstyn and John Emmet Tracey in Flowers in the Attic" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YtXUareooF2tnJkHjtMiJc.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YtXUareooF2tnJkHjtMiJc.jpg" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><h2 id="where-to-watch-the-other-lifetime-flowers-in-the-attic-films">Where To Watch The Other Lifetime Flowers In The Attic Films</h2><p>You may have to wait a little while before <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> premieres<em>,</em> but that just means you have plenty of time to watch or rewatch the first four <em>Flowers in the Attic</em> Lifetime movies.</p><p><em>Flowers in the Attic</em> is available on the Lifetime Movie Club app or Amazon.</p><p><a href="https://watch.lifetimemovieclub.com/movies/flowers-in-the-attic"><strong>Stream</strong> <em><strong>Flowers in the Attic</strong></em> <strong>on Lifetime Movie Club.</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Flowers-Attic-Cue-Dog-Productions/dp/B00HXT5T7K/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=flowers+in+the+attic&qid=1631241299&sr=8-3"><strong>Rent or buy</strong> <em><strong>Flowers in the Attic</strong></em> <strong>on Amazon.</strong></a></p><p><em>Petals on the Wind</em> is available on the Lifetime Movie Club app or Amazon.</p><p><a href="https://watch.lifetimemovieclub.com/movies/petals-on-the-wind"><strong>Stream</strong> <em><strong>Petals on the Wind</strong></em> <strong>on Lifetime Movie Club.</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Petals-Wind-SILVERSCREEN-ALTA-PRODUCTIONS/dp/B00KI2EPEW/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=petals+on+the+wind&qid=1631243710&sr=8-2"><strong>Rent or buy</strong> <em><strong>Petals on the Wind</strong></em> <strong>on Amazon.</strong></a></p><p><em>If There Be Thorns</em> is available on the Lifetime Movie App and on Amazon.</p><p><a href="https://watch.lifetimemovieclub.com/movies/if-there-be-thorns"><strong>Stream</strong> <em><strong>If There Be Thorns</strong></em> <strong>on Lifetime Movie Club.</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/If-There-Thorns-Dan-Angel/dp/B00VPZQG0C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PC7AO0FPU9UE&dchild=1&keywords=if+there+be+thorns&qid=1631243896&sprefix=If+there+be+thorns%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-1"><strong>Rent or buy</strong> <em><strong>If There Be Thorns</strong></em> <strong>on Amazon.</strong></a></p><p><em>Seeds of Yesterday</em> is available to stream on Lifetime Movie App and available to rent or buy on Amazon.</p><p><a href="https://watch.lifetimemovieclub.com/movies/seeds-of-yesterday"><em><strong>Stream If Seeds of Yesterday</strong></em> <strong>on Lifetime Movie Club.</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Seeds-Yesterday-Dan-Angel/dp/B00W11E3CW/ref=sr_1_2?crid=5WE0YWL84YEN&dchild=1&keywords=seeds+of+yesterday&qid=1631244360&sprefix=seeds+of+y%2Caps%2C215&sr=8-2"><strong>Rent or buy</strong> <em><strong>Seeds of Yesterday</strong></em> <strong>on Amazon.</strong></a></p><p>You may not see the <em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin</em> miniseries in the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2569652/2021-fall-tv-premiere-date-schedule-all-the-new-and-returning-tv-shows" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2569652/2021-fall-tv-premiere-date-schedule-all-the-new-and-returning-tv-shows">2021 fall TV schedule</a> but make sure to stay glued to Cinema Blend for the official release dates.</p>

                                <p>Wendy Williams has been through a lot in the recent years. From <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2468641/wendy-williams-reveals-she-lives-in-a-sober-house-while-recovering-from-addiction" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2468641/wendy-williams-reveals-she-lives-in-a-sober-house-while-recovering-from-addiction">living in a sober house</a> to later announcing a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2496482/why-wendy-williams-is-taking-a-hiatus-from-her-talk-show" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2496482/why-wendy-williams-is-taking-a-hiatus-from-her-talk-show">hiatus from her talk show</a>, the host has been quite candid with her fans since living her life in the public eye. Lifetime recently created a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way">biopic and documentary</a> where Williams gets to tell her life story on her own terms. The films both go into detail of the defining traumas and celebratory <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2489068/wendy-williams-went-overboard-in-denying-she-loudly-farted-on-her-talk-show" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2489068/wendy-williams-went-overboard-in-denying-she-loudly-farted-on-her-talk-show">moments that Williams has experienced</a>. Wendy Williams has no regrets in her life, including her marriage and divorce.</p><p>The Lifetime biopic titled <em>Wendy Williams: The Movie</em> and documentary titled <em>Wendy Williams: What a Mess!</em> both chronicle the talk show host’s relationship with Kevin Hunter. The two were married for quite some time, have a child together, and had both a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2470542/the-wendy-williams-show-has-fired-kevin-hunter-amid-divorce-process" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2470542/the-wendy-williams-show-has-fired-kevin-hunter-amid-divorce-process">personal and professional relationship</a> as he managed much of her career. I recently attended a Q&A in support of the films where Wendy Williams shared how she felt about revisiting tough moments like her ex-husband’s affairs. Here’s what she said:</p><div><blockquote><p>Well, [revisiting hard moments for the film] wasn't tough at all. Actually, the life that I'm living right now, is my best life and I have no guilt about saying that. I don't regret meeting Kevin. I don't regret falling in love. I don't regret staying with him for all 25 years, 21 of them married. And I like who I am, so I have no regrets. I mean if anything, I'm extremely happy that I'm still relevant enough that on Monday morning after our Saturday event, that I'm able to come through some pretty kick behind double doors and say how you doin’ and still be young, fun and pop culture relevant.</p></blockquote></div><p>Leave it to Wendy Williams to be <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2480611/an-emotional-christie-brinkley-addresses-wendy-williams-accusing-her-of-faking-dwts-injury" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2480611/an-emotional-christie-brinkley-addresses-wendy-williams-accusing-her-of-faking-dwts-injury">so refreshingly honest</a> and up on that self-love game. Ciera Peyton gives an excellent performance as Williams in <em>Wendy Williams: The Movie</em>. She captures the bubbly personality Williams had when she first burst onto the radio scene, the no-nonsense vibe of knowing her worth and not letting anyone stop her, and the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2472242/howard-stern-shares-regrets-over-nsfw-rant-about-wendy-williams" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2472242/howard-stern-shares-regrets-over-nsfw-rant-about-wendy-williams">more vulnerable moments</a> of her miscarriages and sexual assault. Wendy Williams has often said that she is her own best friend, and the movie also explores her childhood and gives some background into how she learned to protect and love herself so well.</p><p>The feature film has a bit more dramatic flair, but the documentary is a great companion piece. Following the Lifetime Original Movie, Lifetime will air <em>Wendy Williams: What a Mess!</em> which features Williams herself, speaking straight to camera and offering more personal insight into the events shown throughout <em>Wendy Williams: The Movie</em>. She discusses the decision not to name the man who assaulted her and her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464071/wendy-williams-apologizes-to-fans-for-poor-show-done-while-on-painkillers" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464071/wendy-williams-apologizes-to-fans-for-poor-show-done-while-on-painkillers">battles with addiction</a> and body image, to name a few. Her authenticity is part of what makes Wendy Williams so loved by so many. Fans will enjoy the inside look at her life.</p><p>Both films premiere Saturday, January 30th <a href="https://www.mylifetime.com/movies">on Lifetime</a>. I am awe of the strength and candor of Wendy Williams and how she’s refused to let any number of negative experiences break her.

                                <p>The dynamic duo behind <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Mike-Tyson-His-Ferocious-Energy-Want-You-Push-It-Lip-Sync-Battle-Clip-71416.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Mike-Tyson-His-Ferocious-Energy-Want-You-Push-It-Lip-Sync-Battle-Clip-71416.html">hip-hop hits “Push It”</a> and “Let’s Talk About Sex” have released a biopic on Lifetime telling of their journey from nursing students to stardom. Salt-N-Pepa endured a lot of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2475718/even-midsommars-lead-actress-was-shocked-by-the-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2475718/even-midsommars-lead-actress-was-shocked-by-the-movie">emotional trauma</a> and many of life’s big milestones together. They shared the most challenging parts of revisiting old wounds while working on the film.</p><p>Both Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton serve as executive producers on their <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1616340/britney-spears-lifetime-biopic-trailer-is-non-stop-drama" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1616340/britney-spears-lifetime-biopic-trailer-is-non-stop-drama">Lifetime biopic</a>. They worked closely with GG Townson and Laila Odom who play Salt and Pepa, respectively. I recently attended a Q&A in support of the film, where James and Denton opened up about a difficult part of the filmmaking process. Cheryl James said:</p><div><blockquote><p>It's hard to put 35 years into a 2.5 hour film, you know there were so many things that we wanted to do and wanted to say that we weren't able to...I definitely had a lot of anxiety doing it 'cause you do have to revisit old wounds, it opens up old wounds and questions that you have about things that you experienced… It was definitely a challenge.The whole process was a challenge for me 'cause I am an emotional human being and what I remember particularly on the set when GG was throwing up and I got really emotional. She got really emotional. We ended up hugging and crying. You know, trying to pull it together 'cause I felt like that's such a vulnerable position for her to be in as an actress, but also for me, to watch it, you know, and relive it. Going through being severely bulimic, I know a lot of people don't understand eating disorders. It's an addiction and a psychological issue as many are. And so I just appreciated that she got it. You know, when she felt it, she felt the emotion that comes behind doing something like that and not being able to control it. So I appreciate that.</p></blockquote></div><p>Working together <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2483263/eddie-murphy-reveals-the-classic-snl-characters-he-plans-to-bring-back-after-35-years" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2483263/eddie-murphy-reveals-the-classic-snl-characters-he-plans-to-bring-back-after-35-years">for 35 years</a>, there are many aspects of Salt-N-Pepa’s story that fans won’t know going into the film. As Cheryl “Salt” James mentioned, there were even some things they <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2494295/wow-tiger-kings-rick-kirkham-reveals-gruesome-incident-that-was-left-out-of-the-docuseries" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2494295/wow-tiger-kings-rick-kirkham-reveals-gruesome-incident-that-was-left-out-of-the-docuseries">had to leave out</a>. The scene she discusses above about the eating disorder is very emotional, and GG Townson’s <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2478972/keanu-reeves-was-gary-buseys-very-vulnerable-little-brother-making-point-break" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2478972/keanu-reeves-was-gary-buseys-very-vulnerable-little-brother-making-point-break">vulnerability makes it feel authentic</a>. Salt-N-Pepa were pioneers of celebrities starting conversations and using their platform to address important issues, and they do the same with this biopic.</p><p>Some things are even being shared for the first time so publicly. Sandra “Pepa” Denton talked about a scene that depicts a struggle she has not discussed with her own family. It sounds like this was a particularly difficult moment for her to return to. In her words:</p><div><blockquote><p>Personally, when you talk about mentioning that for me, the cutting scene, that was huge. You know that's not something that I've discussed personally with my family. Yes, it was mentioned in my book and things, but to actually see that again because of the hurt of when my father died. I was devastated. He only wanted for me to be on honor roles. I accomplished that, but it was still like and he wanted me to achieve my goals and I’m Jamaican, as everyone knows, there’s no room for failure on top of that. So it's like, I had to do that and become somebody. And Salt-N-Pepa, it was my answer, my path, my destiny that was put in front of me and there was nothing that was going to stop me from achieving that. And doing the cutting, and showing that, identifying pain with pain in those moments that you see in the movie with the situation, like I said with my father or when Cheryl left me, those were moments I never really spoke about.</p></blockquote></div><p>Wow. Both of these sound like excruciating moments to re-live. I can’t commend Salt-N-Pepa and the actresses playing them, GG Townson and Laila Odom enough for their incredible work. Their story is a powerful one, of love and lose, rise to fame, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1651179/what-chris-pratt-misses-about-not-being-famous" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1651179/what-chris-pratt-misses-about-not-being-famous">the downsides of fame</a>, family and friendship.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Excited About&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

So it's not too surprising that the fast food giant's latest marketing push offers up one of its most bonkers ideas yet: a romantic mini-movie on Lifetime, starring <em>Saved by the Bell</em> heartthrob Mario Lopez as the Colonel. What the what?</p><p>Somehow, everything above can be considered totally true to reality, as revealed by KFC's parent company Yum Brands. Mario Lopez will don the iconic mustache and a slightly new take on Colonel Sanders' outfit for the mini-movie <em>A Recipe for Seduction</em>, a 15-minute short film that is set to air later this month on Lifetime. Check out the first look at Lopez in the trailer above, and then again in <a href="https://twitter.com/lifetimetv/status/1335947170281885699">the post</a> below showcasing the promotional project's genre-aping poster.</p><div class="see-more see-more--clipped"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet hawk-ignore" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/cantworkitout/status/1335947170281885699"></a></p></blockquote><div class="see-more__filter"></div></div><p>For those who want a slightly more concise explanation for what to expect from KFC and Lifetime's <em>A Recipe for Seduction</em>, here's a rundown of the basic plot:</p><div><blockquote><p>As the holidays draw near, a young heiress contends with the affections of a suitor handpicked by her mother. When the handsome chef, Harland Sanders, arrives with his secret fried chicken recipe and a dream, he sets in motion a series of events that unravels the mother’s devious plans. Will our plucky heiress escape to her wintry happily ever after with Harland at her side, or will she cave to the demands of family and duty?</p></blockquote></div><p>I hope she doesn't "bawk" at the chance to find happiness with Harland Sanders, as that would be "eggs-tremely" unfortunate. (Fans might recall Colonel Sanders' <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2446600/kfcs-colonel-sanders-appeared-on-general-hospital-because-duh" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2446600/kfcs-colonel-sanders-appeared-on-general-hospital-because-duh">previous sudsy TV appearance</a> for the soap opera <em>General Hospital</em>.) It's not only the heightened storyline that Lifetime and Yum Brands are using to draw audiences in, however. KFC also teamed up with Uber Eats to give fans a chance to score some extra grub. With the purchase of $20 or more, customers will receive six free extra crispy tenders, and that deal will be available from December 13-19. You'll have to order the chicken-smelling firelog separately, though.</p><p>Here's how Andrea Zahumensky, KFC's U.S. CMO, explained the promotion in a statement:</p><div><blockquote><p>We're no stranger to heating things up for the holidays, just like our famous fried chicken scented Firelog. But let's face it, we could all use a little distraction this holiday season, so why not fill some of your time at home with a suspenseful drama and the comfort of our world-famous fried chicken? A Recipe for Seduction is a perfect excuse to curl up at home and escape to your own happily ever after.</p></blockquote></div><p>I suspect many Lifetime viewers out there would live happily ever after if Mario Lopez's Colonel Sanders arrived to sweep them off their feet, while possibly also in possession of a bunch of fried chicken and a super-secret recipe that makes them unique. Considering Lopez is also starring in Lifetime's Christmas movie <em>FelizNaviDAD</em>, and is also in the spotlight again for <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2559513/saved-by-the-bell-revival-the-13-best-throwback-references-to-the-90s-sitcom" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2559513/saved-by-the-bell-revival-the-13-best-throwback-references-to-the-90s-sitcom">Peacock's <em>Saved by the Bell</em> revival</a>, he's a much better choice to take on the Colonel Sanders role than, say, RoboCop.</p><p>Get ready to see some hot and spicy action well before primetime, because <em>A Recipe for Seduction</em> will make its finger-lickin' debut on Lifetime on Sunday, December 13, at 12 p.m. ET/PT.

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;

You guys? Can you believe it's December? Didn't the year go by...not nearly fast enough? 2020 has been different, and whatever <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2559162/the-best-romantic-comedies-to-watch-during-christmas-and-where-to-watch-them" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2559162/the-best-romantic-comedies-to-watch-during-christmas-and-where-to-watch-them">holidays you plan to celebrate</a> in the last month of the year are pretty much <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2559711/is-die-hard-a-christmas-movie-how-house-dems-re-opened-the-doors-for-the-debate" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2559711/is-die-hard-a-christmas-movie-how-house-dems-re-opened-the-doors-for-the-debate">guaranteed to be different</a>, too. But! One thing we can still, thankfully, count on is a plethora of Christmas movies and holiday specials to populate our television screens. I mean, I think it's safe to say that we all need some additional cheer and easy escapism right now, and there will be <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2485966/if-die-hard-is-a-christmas-movie-that-means-lethal-weapon-is-too" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2485966/if-die-hard-is-a-christmas-movie-that-means-lethal-weapon-is-too">plenty of opportunities</a> for that, thanks to our favorite networks and streaming services!</p><p>Before we get to the schedule, here are <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558725/how-outlanders-sam-heughan-feels-now-about-his-hallmark-christmas-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558725/how-outlanders-sam-heughan-feels-now-about-his-hallmark-christmas-movie">some things to note</a>. First, all of the times are in EST, so if you're not on the east coast, make note of the time difference so you can tune in accordingly. Second, if this list looks a little thin, not to fear! I've only listed the premiere of each movie / special, and (as you likely know) several networks replay their holiday offerings, and once <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2482410/6-new-netflix-christmas-movies-that-are-just-in-time-for-the-holidays" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2482410/6-new-netflix-christmas-movies-that-are-just-in-time-for-the-holidays">an original Christmas movie</a> or special goes live on a streamer, it's typically there forever, so be sure to <a href="https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/schedule">check listings for repeat airings</a>, and to see what premiered in previous weeks. Last, but maybe most important, go ahead and bookmark this guide, because there may be updates during the month as things are announced. OK? Great!

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yennefer&#039;s apprentice, Gilmore Girl; will Vulcan nerve pinch pretty much anyone if prompted with cheese...Yes, even Jamie Fraser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Weather and raccoons that only come out at night!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

One of the things millions of people look forward to every holiday season are the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558725/how-outlanders-sam-heughan-feels-now-about-his-hallmark-christmas-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2558725/how-outlanders-sam-heughan-feels-now-about-his-hallmark-christmas-movie">made-for-TV holiday films</a> which populate the airwaves, generally beginning in late October. The Christmas <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2554778/lifetime-reveals-details-and-casts-for-first-lgbtq-and-asian-led-christmas-movies" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2554778/lifetime-reveals-details-and-casts-for-first-lgbtq-and-asian-led-christmas-movies">romances of Lifetime are beloved</a>, but with production on some of these movies taking place under strict new guidelines, the network had to come up with a strange approach for co-stars kissing on screen during the pandemic.</p><p>Something every film and TV production has to deal with while getting back to work right now is figuring out how to keep their crews and casts safe under the new guidelines. While I'm sure there have been many annoyances around separating crew members so that everyone can be as socially distant as possible, it's way harder to do that (and have it seem natural) when you're dealing with actors playing characters in a scene who are supposed to get all up on one another and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2551735/lifetime-just-gave-married-at-first-sight-huge-renewal-news-and-ordered-a-new-spinoff" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2551735/lifetime-just-gave-married-at-first-sight-huge-renewal-news-and-ordered-a-new-spinoff">do lovey-dovey things</a>.</p><p>Even though everyone on set is being tested at regular intervals to help with this sort of dilemma, it doesn't mean that people aren't nervous about the idea of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2557984/hallmarks-jonathan-bennett-reveals-cute-story-behind-learning-hed-be-in-the-networks-first-major-lgbtq-christmas-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2557984/hallmarks-jonathan-bennett-reveals-cute-story-behind-learning-hed-be-in-the-networks-first-major-lgbtq-christmas-movie">getting kissy with a near stranger</a> right now. As Lifetime's head of programming, Amy Winter, told <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/lifetime-christmas-movies-ali-stroker-kiss-plexiglass-coronavirus/">The Wrap</a>, she and her team absolutely didn't want to put anyone at risk, so they began to troubleshoot options way before filming began. The result, in at least one case, was truly one of the strangest approaches, with Winter saying:</p><div><blockquote><p>Everybody was incredibly concerned about, as we were figuring it out, making sure that we were following the best possible guidelines to keep people safe. We all sat down, even before we got started, saying, how is anybody even going to kiss in these movies, given the circumstances? And the greatest, oddest solution I’ve seen so far is people kissing through plexiglass that can be removed in post, which is absolutely phenomenal.</p></blockquote></div><p>Wow. That is certainly taking the new filming protocols several steps beyond to make sure everyone can stay safe. This is not the first we've heard of some very original tactics being used to avoid interpersonal contact between actors. <em>The Bold and the Beautiful</em> has been using either <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2548444/the-bold-and-the-beautiful-to-start-using-blow-up-dolls-for-sex-scenes" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2548444/the-bold-and-the-beautiful-to-start-using-blow-up-dolls-for-sex-scenes">the real life partners</a> of its stars for all of its makeout scenes, or <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2550911/how-the-bold-and-the-beautifuls-denise-richards-avoided-a-sex-scene-with-a-mannequin" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2550911/how-the-bold-and-the-beautifuls-denise-richards-avoided-a-sex-scene-with-a-mannequin">resorting to mannequins / sex dolls</a> when such a switch can be implemented.</p><p>Of course, viewers will likely know that soap operas are way more focused on <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2553093/hallmark-star-jesse-metcalfe-explains-the-rigorous-protocol-for-filming-a-kissing-scene-for-new-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2553093/hallmark-star-jesse-metcalfe-explains-the-rigorous-protocol-for-filming-a-kissing-scene-for-new-movie">the horizontal business of adulthood</a> than Lifetime Christmas movies, so none of these films should have had to go to such lengths for any of their productions. Typically, couples in these films do nothing more than kiss one time (frequently only at the very end), so the amount of plexiglass smooching would be blissfully limited.</p><p>According to Amy Winter, this particular solution was only used for the upcoming film <em>Christmas Ever After</em>, which will debut on December 6. And, the sorta kiss went down exactly as it sounds like it would, with stars Ali Stroker and Daniel di Tomasso having a large sheet of plexiglass situated between them for their big scene, which they then kissed in place of laying their lips on each other. The plexiglass will be removed with some editing effects before the movie hits Lifetime.</p><p>That's <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox">for the best</a>, obviously, but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if they made the plexiglass part of the scene somehow. Talk about the weirdest, most original Christmas movie ever!</p><p>We can all see how the plexiglass kiss turned out when <em>Christmas Ever After</em> premieres on Lifetime, December 6 at 8 p.m. EST.

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yennefer&#039;s apprentice, Gilmore Girl; will Vulcan nerve pinch pretty much anyone if prompted with cheese...Yes, even Jamie Fraser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Weather and raccoons that only come out at night!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

The rest of the cast for the movies will include Fran Drescher (<em>The Nanny</em>, <em>Indebted</em>), Ellen Wong (<em>Glow</em>, <em>Dark Matter</em>), and Tzi Ma (<em>Mulan</em>, <em>The Farewell</em>).</p><figure class="van-image-figure pull-" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="waD8NPGXz7SkptREkMFjEF" name="" alt="jacky lai shadowhunters syfy tony giroux mother land fort salem freeform" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/waD8NPGXz7SkptREkMFjEF.png" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/waD8NPGXz7SkptREkMFjEF.png" align="" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pull-"></p></div></div></figure><p>So, what will these lovely new movies be about? <em>The Christmas Setup</em> will follow Hugo (Lewis), a New York attorney, as he goes to Milwaukee with his best friend Madelyn (Wong) in tow so that he can spend some quality time with his mother, Kate (Drescher), during the holidays. Kate also heads up some local Christmas celebrations, so she sets her single son up to run into his high school buddy (and secret crush), Patrick (Lee), who's also newly returned to the city after a successful run in Silicon Valley.</p><p>Do I need to tell you that Hugo and Patrick will get along like gangbusters? Of course not. Do I also need to say that there will be a big complication which could throw their new found love into the garbage with all of that used Christmas wrapping paper? No, y'all are way too smart for that kind of note.</p><p>Meanwhile, <em>A Sugar & Spice Holiday</em> will focus its attentions on young Suzi (Lai), an architect with her career on the rise, who goes home for Christmas (Anyone else <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2435199/turns-out-that-one-tree-hill-reunion-isnt-a-one-tree-hill-reunion-after-all" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2435199/turns-out-that-one-tree-hill-reunion-isnt-a-one-tree-hill-reunion-after-all">sensing a theme, here</a>?) to the small Maine town where her Chinese American family runs the local lobster bar. With the death of her beloved grandmother, Suzi is then guilted by her family into taking her place in the town's gingerbread house contest, where she has to join forces with her old high school friend Billy (Giroux), who grew up to be a serious Hotty McHotpants. Now, Suzi will have to use her Chinese heritage to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox">spice up the competition</a> and, you know, find love and stuff.</p><p>I don't know about you, dear reader, but I would like to have both of these movies liquefied, put into an IV drip and inserted directly into my veins <em>right now</em>. If this is how Lifetime is <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2551735/lifetime-just-gave-married-at-first-sight-huge-renewal-news-and-ordered-a-new-spinoff" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2551735/lifetime-just-gave-married-at-first-sight-huge-renewal-news-and-ordered-a-new-spinoff">going to up their game</a> for the holiday season, can we start a campaign to get them to make some Christmas movies all year round?</p><p>I mean, I have to give the people at Lifetime some props for being way more willing to make their holiday movies look more like the real world in previous years (<em>especially</em> compared to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2551199/one-million-moms-is-going-after-hallmark-channel-again-over-christmas-movies" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2551199/one-million-moms-is-going-after-hallmark-channel-again-over-christmas-movies">their most noted competitor</a> in this field), anyway. But this is another level of holiday happiness which I sincerely hope signals bigger and better things to come for future Christmas seasons.</p><p>We don't know just yet when <em>The Christmas Setup</em> and <em>A Sugar & Spice Holiday</em> will debut, but Lifetime's new Christmas movies will begin airing on October 23 and keep on rolling through the main event, so stay tuned to CinemaBlend for the latest!</p>

She started at CinemaBlend as a freelancer in 2015 with a strong background in sci-fi and superheroes. She has since gone on to write full time as part of the staff, and covers a wide variety of television across the small screen and streaming. Primetime is her time of day, and she can also be found covering nighttime TV ranging from medical dramas to crime procedurals to sci-fi, and everything in between. She studied English, and is happy to have found a use for it. If it&#039;s set in the Dick Wolf TV universe, she watches it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Laura&#039;s lifetime love of fiction set her up for spending her days writing about television, and she continues to enjoy binge-watching, binge-reading, and going to the movies. Her love of underdog stories set her up for a lifetime of rooting for Cleveland sports teams, which has paid off exactly once in her lifetime. (Thanks, LeBron!) She can still quote The X-Files and will happily do so over a plate of pad thai.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Ahsoka, Barbie pink, the day that scripted TV comes back, and the end of the Droughtlander before Outlander Season 7 returns&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Lifetime has been winning in the unscripted TV game thanks to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1530522/how-a-married-at-first-sight-couple-is-getting-a-happily-ever-after" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1530522/how-a-married-at-first-sight-couple-is-getting-a-happily-ever-after">the <em>Married at First Sight</em> franchise</a>, which is going strong with the original series in Season 11. Now, fans don't have to wonder if the show will end for good after the current eleventh season wraps. In fact, fans don't have to wonder if <em>Married at First Sight</em> will be going anywhere anytime soon. The original show has been renewed for a whopping six more seasons.</p><p>Yes, <em>Married at First Sight</em> has been renewed for six more seasons, according to <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/08/married-at-first-sight-renewed-six-seasons-12-13-14-15-16-17-lifetime-unmatchables-spinoff-another-series-kinetic-content-1203001603/">Deadline</a>, which brings the count up to Season 17. This isn't the first time that Lifetime handed down a multi-season renewal to the hit unscripted romance series. The show was renewed for both Season 10 and Season 11 back in September 2019.</p><p>The renewal also comes when <em>Married at First Sight</em> in only three episodes into Season 11, although the show has done well in those three weeks since the July 15 premiere. After three episodes, Season 11 averages 1.7 million total viewers in Live+3 day calculations, which is up 12% from last summer's Season 9 and even with Season 10 in winter 2020. The audience has been growing each week.</p><p>All things considered, Lifetime ordering more than one more season isn't altogether surprising, but a six-season renewal is huge. The network also announced another show of faith in the <em>Married at First Sight</em> franchise that has been such a hit. Another spinoff is on the way, with a twist.</p><p>The original <em>Married at First Sight</em> follows couples who are paired by relationship experts and marry based on those recommendations, not having met before their wedding day. The couples have a wedding, a honeymoon, and two months of marriage before deciding if they want to stay married or <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1639690/one-married-at-first-sight-couple-is-getting-divorced" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1639690/one-married-at-first-sight-couple-is-getting-divorced">go their separate ways</a>. The first seven seasons centered on three couples, while that number jumped to four for Season 8-9 and five for Season 10-11. The results <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1628482/watch-a-couples-makeout-session-implode-in-an-extremely-awkward-reality-show-moment" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1628482/watch-a-couples-makeout-session-implode-in-an-extremely-awkward-reality-show-moment">can be... awkward</a>. The new spinoff will be very different.</p><p>The new spinoff, called <em>Married at First Sight: Unmatchables</em>, will feature different people looking for love in each episode. The show will feature people who are too hard to match to make it onto <em>Married at First Sight</em>, and each episode will see <em>Married at First Sight</em>'s Pastor Calvin Robertson and Dr. Viviana Coles mentor two singles through physical and personal transformations, complete with relationship advice and a lifestyle overhaul. These two hopefuls are set up on a date by the end of the episode to see if they've finally found their match.</p><p><em>Married at First Sight: Unmatchables</em> will premiere in 2021. For now, you can find new episodes of <em>Married at First Sight</em> Season 11 airing on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime. The season will run for 17 episodes of two hours each, so viewers can count on seeing just about every emotional beat as the unconventional couples get to know each other as spouses.</p><p>If you're in the market for some TV shows outside of the <a href="https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/married-at-first-sight"><em>Married at First Sight</em></a> franchise, check out our 2020 <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2494009/2020-summer-tv-premiere-schedule-full-list-of-dates-for-tv-and-streaming-shows" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2494009/2020-summer-tv-premiere-dates-for-network-cable-and-streaming-shows?pv=related_list">summer TV premiere schedule</a> and our <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2485936/2020-netflix-schedule-premiere-dates-for-new-and-returning-shows" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2485936/2020-netflix-schedule-premiere-dates-for-new-and-returning-shows">2020 fall TV premiere guide</a>!</p><div  class="fancy-box"><div class="fancy_box-title">Up next: <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2493500/pregnant-married-at-first-sight-star-unsure-where-to-give-birth-because-of-coronavirus" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2493500/pregnant-married-at-first-sight-star-unsure-where-to-give-birth-because-of-coronavirus"><u><strong>Pregnant Married At First Sight Star Unsure Where To Give Birth Because Of Coronavirus</strong></u></a></div><div class="fancy_box_body"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="" name="" caption="" alt="" src="https://img.cinemablend.com/quill/f/b/0/9/e/c/fb09ece22d8f191426982e0de9ce6b329601d6dc.jpg" mos="" link="" align="" fullscreen="" width="0" height="0" attribution="" endorsement="" class="pinterest-pin-exclude"></p></div></div></figure></div></div>

She started at CinemaBlend as a freelancer in 2015 with a strong background in sci-fi and superheroes. She has since gone on to write full time as part of the staff, and covers a wide variety of television across the small screen and streaming. Primetime is her time of day, and she can also be found covering nighttime TV ranging from medical dramas to crime procedurals to sci-fi, and everything in between. She studied English, and is happy to have found a use for it. If it&#039;s set in the Dick Wolf TV universe, she watches it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Laura&#039;s lifetime love of fiction set her up for spending her days writing about television, and she continues to enjoy binge-watching, binge-reading, and going to the movies. Her love of underdog stories set her up for a lifetime of rooting for Cleveland sports teams, which has paid off exactly once in her lifetime. (Thanks, LeBron!) She can still quote The X-Files and will happily do so over a plate of pad thai.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Ahsoka, Barbie pink, the day that scripted TV comes back, and the end of the Droughtlander before Outlander Season 7 returns&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Abby Lee Miller's time on Lifetime <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464252/abby-lee-miller-confirms-return-to-dance-moms-in-season-8" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464252/abby-lee-miller-confirms-return-to-dance-moms-in-season-8">may be at an end</a>. The reality TV personality and dance instructor starred on Lifetime's <em>Dance Moms</em> for most of eight seasons, and was successful enough that the network ordered a spinoff series despite <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2393871/abby-lee-miller-just-got-out-of-prison-early-sort-of" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2393871/abby-lee-miller-just-got-out-of-prison-early-sort-of">some legal woes</a>, called <em>Dance Moms: Abby's Virtual Dance Off</em>. The show was set to premiere in mere weeks, but now Lifetime has cancelled it before it could even premiere following accusations of racist remarks from the mother of one of Miller's former students.</p><p><em>Dance Moms: Abby's Virtual Dance Off</em> was slated to run for 12 episodes as a <em>Dance Moms</em> spinoff that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495497/the-parks-and-recreation-reunion-had-a-ton-of-cameos-but-left-out-my-favorite-character" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495497/the-parks-and-recreation-reunion-had-a-ton-of-cameos-but-left-out-my-favorite-character">could be produced remotely</a>, but <a href="https://ew.com/tv/lifetime-abby-lee-miller-reality-show-racism-accusation/">EW</a> reports that the show has been cancelled by Lifetime after the accusations that Abby Lee Miller made racist remarks to and about former <em>Dance Moms</em> contestant Adriana Smith. The show had been scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, June 30 at 8 p.m. ET on the network.</p><p>In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo8ivtx8heI">video</a> hyping the show and asking for submissions, Abby Lee Miller (<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1656939/former-dance-moms-star-abby-lee-miller-has-been-sentenced-to-prison" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1656939/former-dance-moms-star-abby-lee-miller-has-been-sentenced-to-prison">who served time</a> for some of her actions <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Dance-Moms-Abby-Lee-Miller-Indicted-Hiding-Show-Income-92347.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1390599/Dance-Moms-Abby-Lee-Miller-Indicted-Hiding-Show-Income">regarding <em>Dance Moms</em> income</a>) said that she was looking for "an Abby dancer" and would be the judge herself, with "no moms, no producers, just" her. Considering <em>Abby's Virtual Dance Off</em> was poised to heavily rely on Miller herself, Lifetime's decision to cancel in the wake of the accusations against Miller isn't altogether surprising.</p><p>Given that Abby Lee Miller reportedly wouldn't be <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1641170/dance-moms-already-found-an-excellent-replacement-for-abby-lee-miller" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1641170/dance-moms-already-found-an-excellent-replacement-for-abby-lee-miller">returning to <em>Dance Moms</em></a> even if Lifetime renewed it for a ninth season, the cancellation of <em>Abby's Virtual Dance Off</em> could indeed be the end of her time at the network. The accusations of racism from Adriana Smith were prompted by Miller choosing to post on Instagram in protest of racism and police brutality. Smith responded with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CA86L6spnAi/">post</a> of her own, stating that Miller had directed racist remarks at both herself and her young daughter, Kamryn Smith.</p><p>Abby Lee Miller <a href="https://twitter.com/Abby_Lee_Miller/status/1268663843162673160/photo/1">responded</a> to Adriana Smith's post by stating that she came to "deeply regret" how her words affected Smith and her daughter, and she is "truly sorry" and one day hoped to "earn" their forgiveness. Adriana Smith didn't mince words in her response to Miller's apology, posting this on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDl5IHpysa/">Instagram</a>:</p><div><blockquote><p>At this time, I do not accept Abby’s apology because her apology was not sincere. My daughter and I have yet to hear directly from Abby Lee Miller. Moreover, she didn’t even bother to tag me or Kamryn in her post. How else would we know she apologized? My friends and peers informed me of the apology. How sincere could it be?! What happened to a phone call or at least a personal direct message?</p></blockquote></div><p>As for Lifetime, at the time of writing the network hasn't responded on social media to Adriana Smith's accusations, Abby Lee Miller's response, and the decision to cancel <em>Abby's Virtual Dance Off</em>. Only time will tell if and how this situation and the spinoff cancellation will impact the future of <em>Dance Moms</em>, which has yet to be renewed for Season 9 or officially cancelled despite Season 8 wrapping back in September 2019.</p><p>For now, stay tuned to CinemaBlend for the latest in TV and movie news, and swing by <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2494009/2020-summer-tv-premiere-schedule-full-list-of-dates-for-tv-and-streaming-shows" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2494009/2020-summer-tv-premiere-dates-for-network-cable-and-streaming-shows?pv=related_list">our 2020 summer premiere schedule</a> for some viewing options.</p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Excited About&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Though the initial announcement from Ross' management team claimed that she was the victim of a fatal hit and run, that <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495322/little-women-atlanta-star-was-not-killed-in-a-hit-and-run-despite-reports" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495322/little-women-atlanta-star-was-not-killed-in-a-hit-and-run-despite-reports">report was thereafter disputed</a>. Now, the authorities in Atlanta have revealed the official crash report, which actually puts Ross in the wrong for the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2492631/7th-heaven-star-lorenzo-brino-has-died-at-age-21-after-car-accident" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2492631/7th-heaven-star-lorenzo-brino-has-died-at-age-21-after-car-accident">deadly collision</a>.</p><p>Here's how the situation was explained, according to the South Fulton Police Department's crash report (via <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/05/06/little-women-atlanta-ms-minnie-ashley-ross-accident-report-death/">TMZ</a>), which was put together based on eyewitness testimony on the night of the crash, as well as the report from the responding officer at the scene. Ashley Ross was reportedly driving southbound in the left-most lane down Old National Hwy – a four-lane highway, plus the turning lane – when she lost control of the vehicle, causing her to jerk the wheel to the right, which sent her temporarily off the road.</p><p>The report then states that Ashley Ross quickly veered left and shot back onto the road and into the opposite lanes of traffic. The <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> star collided with the front of the other vehicle in the far left lane, and she once again left the highway as her car came to a stop near some trees on the side of the road. Ross was apparently still alive and unresponsive on the scene, but she was unfortunately pronounced dead at some point in the next 24 hours, with the official cause likely to be listed as "<a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Hoarder-Missing-Wife-Discovered-Behind-False-Wall-28-Years-Later-57231.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/1223539/Hoarder-Missing-Wife-Discovered-Behind-False-Wall-28-Years-Later">blunt force trauma</a>."</p><p>The other driver in the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2478801/mythbusters-jessi-combs-is-dead-after-accident-at-age-39" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2478801/mythbusters-jessi-combs-is-dead-after-accident-at-age-39">fatal accident</a>, who wasn't immediately identified, was not killed in the collision. However, the person seemingly did suffer injuries in the crash, and was transported to the hospital for complaints about pains.</p><p>Perhaps notably, the crash report noted that neither Ashley Ross nor the other driver were given drug or alcohol tests after the crash, which occurred in the evening around 11 p.m. That said, there was apparently enough evidence to rule that Ross was at fault for the accident.</p><p>Unless some surprise details are revealed soon, this may be the final word on Ashley Ross' death. According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, no autopsy was performed on Ross, and there aren't any further reports on the way about the incident. The cause of death hasn't been 100% confirmed yet, but the aforementioned distinction will presumably be made official in the near future.</p><p>Ashley Ross' family will be giving the beloved Ms. Minnie a memorial on Saturday, May 9, at 1:30 p.m. ET. The plan is to <a href="https://msminniemedia.com/">livestream the event</a> so that fans can view and <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2493134/little-women-la-star-christy-mcginity-shares-heartbreaking-news-of-daughters-death" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2493134/little-women-la-star-christy-mcginity-shares-heartbreaking-news-of-daughters-death">pay their respects to the Lifetime star</a>, and everyone is welcome to make donations to The Ms Minnie Memorial Fund that was set up in her name.</p><p>Following Ms Minnie's tragic death, Lifetime put together a supercut showcasing many of Ashley Ross' biggest moments from <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> over the years, both on the funny and the tearful side. Oh, and it's also been reported that Ross' co-stars aim to honor their late friend whenever the show returns for Season 6, though it's not clear when that will be just yet. For now, check out the clip below.</p><div class="youtube-video" data-nosnippet ><div class="video-aspect-box"><iframe data-lazy-priority="low" data-lazy-src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/yWncjw_H2sM" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div><p>We here at CinemaBlend send our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of Ashley Ross during their time of mourning.

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;

                                <p>Even if you were a child, or not even born yet, there's still a chance that you've heard about the infamous 1993 case of Lorena Bobbitt. After years of rape and abuse by her husband, John, Bobbitt retrieved a carving knife from the kitchen during the night and cut his penis off. The case, investigation and eventual trial was one of the most talked about criminal cases of the 1990s. Well, Lifetime now has a movie based on the events, called <em>I Was Lorena Bobbitt</em>, and it delves into many aspects of the case, including Bobbitt throwing her husband's penis out of her car window.</p><p>The salacious nature of Lorena Bobbitt's crime probably would have gotten major attention regardless of what happened immediately after the fact, but that detail about her tossing his severed penis out of her window as she fled the scene certainly <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2399082/lorena-bobbitt-is-getting-a-docu-series-now-because-why-not" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2399082/lorena-bobbitt-is-getting-a-docu-series-now-because-why-not">added to the public interest</a>. People wanted to know more; not just about the crime, but about what could have led up to <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2465457/why-you-is-a-much-bigger-hit-on-netflix-than-lifetime-according-to-penn-badgley" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2465457/why-you-is-a-much-bigger-hit-on-netflix-than-lifetime-according-to-penn-badgley">something so extreme</a>. We've finally gotten the first trailer for <em>I Was Lorena Bobbitt</em>, and you can see that it details what led Bobbitt to do such a thing, as well as <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way">what came afterward</a>. Take a look:</p><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/PMN9662S.html" id="PMN9662S" title="First Trailer For Lifetime’s Lorena Bobbitt Movie Features Her Throwing The Penis Out Of The Car Window" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>Wow. That trailer is no joke, literally. Not only does the film really take the crime seriously, but it also takes the abuse that Lorena Bobbitt suffered just as seriously, and the trailer is careful to remind us that "her story was no joke." <em>I Was Lorena Bobbitt</em> is actually executive produced by Bobbitt herself, and Lifetime is billing it as her opportunity to tell her full story <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox">the way she wants it</a> to be told.</p><p>After Lorena Bobbitt's crime became public, two things happened. First, she was very upfront during the investigation about the abuse she suffered at John's hands, so the case helped to bring the issues of domestic abuse and marital rape to light. Anti-domestic violence advocates, as well as some feminist groups rallied around Bobbitt and said the history of abuse is what led to the violent and unusual attack. But, most of the attention was not so supportive or straight forward.</p><p>A lot of the media attention around the Lorena Bobbitt case quickly turned into jokes, limericks, advertising gimmicks and T-shirt slogans. Howard Stern had John Bobbitt on as a guest during his 1993 New Year's Eve special, and even raised $250,000 to help cover the outstanding costs of the surgery to reattach his penis. On top of all of this, there were also several copycat crimes reported, but which ended up being either accidents or self-inflicted.</p><p>With everything that went on in the aftermath of the crime, it makes complete sense that Lorena Bobbitt would want to make sure her story is told as close to the way she lived it as possible <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2474126/thomas-markle-is-really-mad-about-lifetimes-meghan-markle-and-prince-harry-movie" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2474126/thomas-markle-is-really-mad-about-lifetimes-meghan-markle-and-prince-harry-movie">in this fictionalized account</a>, and with the proper weight being given to the situation before, during and after.</p><p><a href="https://www.mylifetime.com/movies/i-was-lorena-bobbitt"><em>I Was Lorena Bobbitt</em></a> will premiere on Lifetime on May 25 at 8 p.m. EST.

In addition to writing and editing stories on a variety of different topics, she also spends her work days trying to find new ways to write about the many romantic entanglements that fictional characters find themselves in on TV shows. She graduated from Mizzou with a degree in Photojournalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Adrienne will maintain until her dying day (and probably well after that, if possible) that 9 to 5 is one of the best movies ever made, though she also holds a special place in her heart for Auntie Mame, Office Space, and Bridesmaids. This may make it sound like her life and entertainment choices are only giggle-focused (not totally untrue), but she also enjoys warm-hearted dramadies (Gilmore Girls, Lovesick), creepy stuff (The X-Files, Evil), sci-fi/fantasy (most Star Treks, The Witcher), romantic shows (Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias, Outlander), and the occasional drama (The Wire, Vikings: Valhalla). Adrienne likes cooking, but also ordering delivery so that strangers can be forced to bring her food, and believes that most days are incomplete without chocolate, reading, and staring out the window to see if any wild animals are engaging in shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yennefer&#039;s apprentice, Gilmore Girl; will Vulcan nerve pinch pretty much anyone if prompted with cheese...Yes, even Jamie Fraser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Weather and raccoons that only come out at night!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Fans of Lifetime's reality show <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> were <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495231/little-women-atlanta-star-ashley-minnie-ross-is-dead-at-34" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2495231/little-women-atlanta-star-ashley-minnie-ross-is-dead-at-34">dealt a blow</a> earlier this week when news broke that star Ashley "Minnie" Ross had died in a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2479002/kevin-hart-reportedly-suffers-major-injuries-after-car-accident" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2479002/kevin-hart-reportedly-suffers-major-injuries-after-car-accident">car accident</a>. The original report said that the star, who was 34 years old, succumbed to her injuries on Monday night after being the victim of a hit-and-run accident on Sunday evening. But, we now know that not to be true.</p><p>Ashley Ross was involved in a car accident, but she was in a vehicle at the time. Here's the police statement on their preliminary investigation into the accident, which was obtained by <a href="https://people.com/tv/ashley-minnie-ross-car-crash-was-not-hit-and-run-police-say/">People</a>:</p><div><blockquote><p>The initial crash investigation shows that Ms. Ross was traveling south in a Nissan Sentra on Old National Highway. Her car hit the right-side curb, crossed into the northbound lanes and struck a Ford Focus that was traveling north head-on. Ms. Ross received serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital for treatment, where she died Monday night. The driver of the other vehicle received minor injuries and was treated at the scene.</p></blockquote></div><p>A public information officer for the City of South Fulton Police Department in Georgia, which is in charge of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2482087/jumanji-next-level-star-kevin-harts-car-accident-report-has-been-released" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2482087/jumanji-next-level-star-kevin-harts-car-accident-report-has-been-released">the accident investigation</a>, added that they now know that this was not a hit-and-run, there was no third vehicle involved, and also said that driving under the influence hasn't been indicated as a factor in the crash.</p><p>The accident took place around 11 p.m. Sunday night in or around the Atlanta area. Ashley Ross was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta shortly afterward, but, unfortunately, it was about 24 hours later that Ross died in the hospital from her injuries. A representative for <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> remembered Ross, calling her "the most beautiful, kind, giving, generous human ever" and noted that she was "adored" by both the cast and crew of the reality series "because she always wore her heart on her sleeve" and would do anything for those she loved.</p><p>Several of Ashley Ross' co-stars on the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way">hit reality series</a> <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> paid tribute to her on social media, including Amanda Salinas, who penned a very emotional post on Instagram dedicated to Ross, which included several joyful photographs and a video of the star during a special time in Salinas' life.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_g4qlhlgXc/" target="_blank"></a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p><em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> began back in 2016, as another spinoff of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2493134/little-women-la-star-christy-mcginity-shares-heartbreaking-news-of-daughters-death" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2493134/little-women-la-star-christy-mcginity-shares-heartbreaking-news-of-daughters-death">the flagship series</a> <em>Little Women: LA</em>, which debuted two years prior. Former hairstylist Ashley Ross, who was from Tennessee, was an original cast member, along with Briana Barlup, Emily Fernandez, twins Amanda and Andrea Salinas, and Tiffany "Monie" Cashette. Cashette will be returning to the series as a regular in Season 6, which is due to air at some point this year, and she also took time out to say <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2482683/patsy-clines-daughter-reveals-how-lifetimes-patsy-and-loretta-made-her-feel" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2482683/patsy-clines-daughter-reveals-how-lifetimes-patsy-and-loretta-made-her-feel">a few kind words</a> about Ross on social media:</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_g7mWZjpS-/" target="_blank"></a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>It's clear that many people, including Ashley Ross' fellow cast members on <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> will miss her.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What He&#039;s Excited About&lt;/strong&gt;: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>So many people's emotions have already been stretched to their limits <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2492950/updated-list-of-major-tv-show-delays-or-ending-early-due-to-coronavirus" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2492950/updated-list-of-major-tv-show-delays-or-ending-early-due-to-coronavirus">in light of recent events</a>, but tragedy struck this week for the cast and crew of <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em>, whose star Ashley Ross – better known to co-stars and viewers as "Minnie" – died in the hospital on Monday night. She was 34 years old.</p><p>On Sunday, April 26, Ashley Ross was involved in a vehicular accident in or around Atlanta near the time of 11:00 p.m., and sustained various injuries. She was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta soon after, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/28/entertainment/little-women-atlanta-star-dead-trnd/index.html">CNN</a>.</p><p>Unfortunately, it was around 24 hours after the accident occurred that Ashley Ross succumbed to her injuries and passed away inside Grady Memorial. The feisty reality TV star is reportedly survived by her mother, her aunt, uncle, grandmother and other family members.</p><p>Here's a statement released from her publicist Liz Dixson:</p><div><blockquote><p>It is with profound sadness that we confirm on behalf of the family of Ashley Ross aka 'Ms Minnie' of Little Women Atlanta has succumbed to injuries from a tragic hit and run car accident today at the age of 34. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.</p></blockquote></div><p>Although Ashley Ross' publicist Liz Dixson claimed that the accident Ross was involved in was a <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2466033/gwyneth-paltrow-sued-over-reported-hit-and-run-ski-accident" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2466033/gwyneth-paltrow-sued-over-reported-hit-and-run-ski-accident">"hit and run,"</a> that element hasn't been fully confirmed as of this writing.</p><p>Liz Dixson also had this to say about the <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> star Ashley Ross.</p><div><blockquote><p>Ashley was a sweet and kind person with a big heart. She was an advocate for St. Jude and young women. She will be remembered for her contagious smile.</p></blockquote></div><p>The <em>Little Women</em> franchise, which obviously has nothing to do with <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2487731/how-little-women-changed-fans-minds-about-a-classic-literary-villain" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2487731/how-little-women-changed-fans-minds-about-a-classic-literary-villain">the classic novel</a> or its <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2493623/holy-game-of-thrones-little-women-accidentally-left-some-water-bottles-in-the-theatrical-cut" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2493623/holy-game-of-thrones-little-women-accidentally-left-some-water-bottles-in-the-theatrical-cut">many adaptations</a>, started with the <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2482683/patsy-clines-daughter-reveals-how-lifetimes-patsy-and-loretta-made-her-feel" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2482683/patsy-clines-daughter-reveals-how-lifetimes-patsy-and-loretta-made-her-feel">flagship Lifetime</a> series <em>Little Women: LA</em> back in 2014. The show's success led to a number of spinoffs, including <em>Little Women: Terra's Little Family</em>, <em>Little Women: NY</em>, <em>Little Women: Dallas</em> and <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em>.</p><p><em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> wrapped up its fifth season back in July of 2019, with a renewed approach to focusing on the women's careers. Season 6 is expected to air at some point in 2020, with Tiffany "Monie" Cashette returning as a full-time cast member, and recurring star Abira Greene promoted to a series regular. However, it's unclear at this time how much has been filmed, and what Lifetime plans on doing with Ashley Ross' footage.</p><p>Sadly, this isn't the first unfortunate tragedy to come out of the <em>Little Women</em> franchise in 2020. It was just in March when <em>Little Women: LA</em> star Christy McGinity shared the news that her prematurely born infant daughter Violet Eva Carazo <a href="Sadly,%20this%20isn't%20the%20first%20unfortunate%20tragedy%20to%20come%20out%20of%20the%20Little%20Women%20franchise%20in%202020.%20It%20was%20just%20in%20March%20when%20Little%20Women:%20LA%20star%20Christy%20McGinity%20shared%20the%20news%20that%20her%20prematurely%20born%20infant%20daughter%20Violet%20Eva%20Carazo%20had%20passed%20away.">had passed away</a>.</p><p>We at CinemaBlend send our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of Ashley Ross during their time of mourning.</p>

She started at CinemaBlend as a freelancer in 2015 with a strong background in sci-fi and superheroes. She has since gone on to write full time as part of the staff, and covers a wide variety of television across the small screen and streaming. Primetime is her time of day, and she can also be found covering nighttime TV ranging from medical dramas to crime procedurals to sci-fi, and everything in between. She studied English, and is happy to have found a use for it. If it&#039;s set in the Dick Wolf TV universe, she watches it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Into&lt;/strong&gt;: Laura&#039;s lifetime love of fiction set her up for spending her days writing about television, and she continues to enjoy binge-watching, binge-reading, and going to the movies. Her love of underdog stories set her up for a lifetime of rooting for Cleveland sports teams, which has paid off exactly once in her lifetime. (Thanks, LeBron!) She can still quote The X-Files and will happily do so over a plate of pad thai.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What She&#039;s Excited About Right Now&lt;/strong&gt;: Ahsoka, Barbie pink, the day that scripted TV comes back, and the end of the Droughtlander before Outlander Season 7 returns&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Christy McGinity of <em>Little Women: LA</em> is mourning a terrible loss. The <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2478661/5-refreshingly-non-toxic-reality-tv-shows-worth-streaming-on-netflix" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2478661/5-refreshingly-non-toxic-reality-tv-shows-worth-streaming-on-netflix">reality television</a> star has shared the heartbreaking news that her infant daughter has died. The baby girl, named Violet Eva Carazo, was born prematurely. McGinity and boyfriend Gonzalo Justo Carazo shared the sad news and requested privacy in their trying time:</p><div><blockquote><p>It is with our deepest sorrow that we send our baby girl Violet Eva Carazo to play with the angels. We were able to spend two weeks with our sweet baby girl and for that we are forever thankful. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time. Your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.</p></blockquote></div><p><em>Little Women: LA</em>'s Christy McGinity gave birth to her daughter seven weeks <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Chris-Pratt-Speaks-With-Pride-About-His-Baby-Accomplishments-51096.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Chris-Pratt-Speaks-With-Pride-About-His-Baby-Accomplishments-51096.html">prematurely</a>, and McGinity's statement with Gonzalo Justo Carazo (via <a href="https://people.com/parents/christy-mcginity-daughter-violet-eva-dies/">People</a>) reveals they had two weeks with her before she sadly passed away. Violet Eva Carazo was born on March 6 when McGinity was 33 weeks pregnant. Shortly after the birth, McGinity's rep confirmed to <a href="https://people.com/parents/christy-gibel-welcomes-daughter-violet-eva-premature/">People</a> that the baby girl measured 15 inches and weighed just under four pounds.</p><p>Christy McGinity publicly announced her pregnancy back in September 2019 via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MsiDZB3hj/">Instagram</a>, and she continued to chronicle her pregnancy on social media for her fans as the weeks passed.</p><p>Based on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rfHV6BxLX/">her posts</a>, she suffered complications with the pregnancy in mid-February when she began feeling early contractions, and she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B84R5xRht7q/">later revealed</a> she'd spent "a few days" in the hospital. She posted an image of her <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2460844/amy-schumer-shares-emotional-video-during-sonogram" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/2460844/amy-schumer-shares-emotional-video-during-sonogram">sonogram</a> on March 3, then confirmed on March 10 she'd given birth to baby Violet Eva Carazo.</p><p>Her most recent post was a quick video on March 15, with boyfriend Gonzalo Justo Carazo signing the birth certificate in the hospital:</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xlE5UhN2g/" target="_blank"></a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Christy McGinity undoubtedly had a lot of people following her pregnancy thanks to her eight seasons on Lifetime's reality TV series <em>Little Women: LA</em>, which follows the lives of women with dwarfism in Los Angeles. The friendships between these women and their lives have kept viewers tuning in for more than 135 episodes so far, and McGinity is one of four members of the cast who have been around from the very first season.</p><p>The success of <em>Little Women: LA</em> resulted in the launch of a number of <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/11-TV-Characters-Need-Spinoff-ASAP-75777.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/11-TV-Characters-Need-Spinoff-ASAP-75777.html">spinoff series</a>, including <em>Little Women: NY</em>, <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em>, and <em>Little Women: Dallas</em>. Although <em>NY</em> and <em>Dallas</em> ran for only two seasons each, <em>Little Women: Atlanta</em> has been a hit, running for five seasons so far.</p><p><em>Little Women: LA</em> can still claim to holding on to the most original stars from the very beginning, though. Although Lifetime may be best known <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2483030/patsy-and-loretta-got-one-major-detail-wrong-but-clines-daughter-says-its-not-important" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2483030/patsy-and-loretta-got-one-major-detail-wrong-but-clines-daughter-says-its-not-important">for its original movies</a>, <em>Little Women: LA</em> is proof that it has also found a winning formula with <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464252/abby-lee-miller-confirms-return-to-dance-moms-in-season-8" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2464252/abby-lee-miller-confirms-return-to-dance-moms-in-season-8">its reality TV offerings</a> as well.</p><p>Hopefully Christy McGinity's fans will respect her request for privacy during this difficult time. Our thoughts here at CinemaBlend are with McGinity and her family.</p>

                                <p>Lifetime’s <em>Patsy & Loretta</em> hit the schedule last weekend, <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2476063/how-lifetime-movies-are-like-adam-sandler-movies-according-to-vivica-a-fox?pv=search">to much fanfare</a>. The story of Patsy Cline’s friendship with Loretta Lynn has always been a notable one and the Lifetime flick really worked to get a lot of the details right. However, that doesn’t mean that every single moment was historically accurate to what happened in real life.</p><p>Speaking about <em>Patsy & Loretta</em>, Patsy Cline’s daughter Julie Fudge spoke out about being able to participate in the making of the movie, bringing up one detail the Lifetime film just does not get right. She said – <strong>and yes, there are some minor spoilers….</strong></p><div><blockquote><p>We spoke a lot about making sure it was honest and focusing on what were the biggest relevancies in the story. For example, mom was in a car wreck with her brother and she’s portrayed as being the only person in the car. That’s not true, it’s a jumbled fact, but it wasn’t the most important thing.</p></blockquote></div><p>In 1961, Patsy Cline famously got into a major automobile accident while driving with her brother, joining <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2479002/kevin-hart-reportedly-suffers-major-injuries-after-car-accident" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2479002/kevin-hart-reportedly-suffers-major-injuries-after-car-accident">a long list of celebrities that have done so</a>. Their vehicle was struck head-on by another and two of the three people in the other car died. Patsy Cline made it through the accident, but did have terrible injuries and later even had plastic surgery on her face to deal with some of the damage. Chronic headaches were common for the singer after the accident as well.</p><p>In the movie, however, Patsy Cline’s brother Sam Hensley, Jr. was not in the car with Cline on the day of the accident.</p><p>According to Julie Fudge, this was all part of making the film a more streamlined experience. While moments like those were not true to life, she was most concerned with the major beats and moments in Patsy Cline’s life and within her friendship with Loretta Lynn, who was a minor player on the Nashville scene until Patsy Cline really embraced her.</p><p>As Julie Fudge told <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/8533220/patsy-cline-loretta-lynn-daughters-interview-lifetime-biopic">Billboard</a>, she and Patsy Lynn Russell, the daughter of Loretta Lynn, both did get to consult <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way">on the new TV movie</a>.</p><div><blockquote><p>We were able to help [the filmmakers] maneuver through this story from the family’s point of view, and I feel like they valued that and respected us as a resources.</p></blockquote></div><p>So, even if some details were changed, the heart of the friendship and the family dynamics really stayed true to what happened in reality. And <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2482683/patsy-clines-daughter-reveals-how-lifetimes-patsy-and-loretta-made-her-feel" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2482683/patsy-clines-daughter-reveals-how-lifetimes-patsy-and-loretta-made-her-feel">as Julie Fudge previously put it</a>, there’s something simply nice, “a pleasure,” about remembering Patsy and Loretta.</p><p>Now, both women have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, with Patsy Cline becoming the first female performer to do so. Their legacies will live on <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Loretta-Lynn-Was-Actually-15-She-Got-Married-42662.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/1078039/Loretta-Lynn-Was-Actually-15-She-Got-Married">in the history of country music</a> and in projects like <em>Patsy & Loretta</em>. While Patsy Cline tragically died in a plane crash in 1963, Loretta Lynn’s still putting out new albums, so you can keep up with her that way too.</p><p>Check your local listings for repeats of <em>Patsy & Loretta</em>.

                                <p>Can you imagine being Patsy Cline's daughter? The legendary country singer died in a 1963 plane crash at the far-too-young age of 30. At the time, Cline had two children, including 4-year-old daughter Julie. That daughter is now 61, and Julie Fudge just co-produced <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2477017/wendy-williams-biopic-surviving-r-kelly-follow-up-and-more-new-lifetime-projects-on-the-way">the Lifetime movie</a> <em>Patsy & Loretta</em> with <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Loretta-Lynn-Was-Actually-15-She-Got-Married-42662.html" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Loretta-Lynn-Was-Actually-15-She-Got-Married-42662.html">Loretta Lynn</a>'s daughter, Patsy Lynn.</p><p><em>Patsy & Loretta</em> premiered last night (October 19) and focused on the real-life friendship between the country singers -- with <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1524289/what-a-smash-actor-really-thought-of-season-2" data-original-url="https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1524289/what-a-smash-actor-really-thought-of-season-2"><em>Smash</em> star</a> Megan Hilty as Patsy Cline and Jessie Mueller as Loretta Lynn. The movie also gave glimpses of the stars' home lives.</p><p>Patsy Cline's daughter Julie Fudge added her own real-life memories into <em>Patsy & Loretta</em>, and some of the filming took place in the house where the family lived in the last year of Cline's life. Fudge said scenes showing "how hard it was" when her mom would have to leave for her work as a singer were accurate to Fudge's memories.</p><div><blockquote><p>There are always emotional moments when we deal with Mom and her legacy and her music and telling her story. But at the same time we really like sharing, it keeps her alive, it keeps her vivid.</p></blockquote></div><p>Reliving her mom's ultimately tragic story in <em>Patsy & Loretta</em> could've been heartbreaking, but Julie Fudge told <a href="https://www.countryliving.com/life/entertainment/a29491562/patsy-cline-motherhood-children/">Country Living</a> it makes her happy to see her mother remembered in this way.</p><div><blockquote><p>With all the years that have passed, you kind of grow accustomed to talking about things, and it’s also been a pleasure to have her remembered. [Patsy & Loretta] is just such a happy program that I really didn’t feel a lot of sadness. I actually felt kind of warm and comfortable.</p></blockquote></div><p>Julie Fudge said Patsy Cline was "very much a hands-on mom" who wanted to be there and "really would rather have been at home, I believe." The movie shows Cline saying she wanted two things -- hit records and babies. She certainly got both.</p><p>Patsy Cline's daughter told <a href="https://people.com/country/patsy-cline-loretta-lynn-daughters-produce-biopic/">People</a> what she hopes fans take away from <em>Patsy & Loretta</em>:</p><div><blockquote><p>[I hope viewers] see more of a real person. Of course, in the 56 years she’s been gone, we have almost iconicized her, and we don’t know the real person anymore. But she was a mom. She was a young girl. She wasn’t but 30 when she died. And so these were two girls having fun and just trying to learn the ropes and get started.</p></blockquote></div><p>Speaking of a young girl, Julie Fudge shared a cute memory with Country Living that wasn't shown in the Lifetime movie:</p><div><blockquote><p>When I was little, my mother and I would color and she had her own coloring book and I was not allowed to color in her coloring book. She had her own crayons and coloring book before it was, you know, cool, to do that as a grownup.</p></blockquote></div><p>Always ahead of her time, our Patsy! Back in 2018, while at the Patsy Cline Museum in Nashville, Julie Fudge told <a href="https://www.axs.com/interview-patsy-cline-s-daughter-shares-the-legendary-singer-with-the--128631">AXS</a> how it's been growing up with a trailblazing but tragic icon as a mother.</p><div><blockquote><p>Growing up, I am not sure when I ever had that 'aha' moment and realized how famous Patsy Cline really was because she was just mom to me. Creating this museum has really shown me how far reaching her career was. When I hear a singer like Bryan Adams say he’s a big fan of Patsy Cline, or a big TV star comes into the museum [who] tells me I grew up listening to your mom. I am always amazed and proud of her.</p></blockquote></div><p>Fans of all ages still listen to Patsy Cline's inimitable voice. <em>Patsy & Loretta</em> helped some fans get a new appreciation for Patsy Cline:</p><div class="see-more see-more--clipped"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet hawk-ignore" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/cantworkitout/status/1185720584040267781"></a></p></blockquote><div class="see-more__filter"></div></div><p>Country music fans have been treated to some great history in the past month.
