The White Lotus co-stars Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins have both denied rumours that either of them are in a feud as 'ridiculous'.

Following the 2025 series, Goggins appeared to step away from his fellow co-stars, and unfollow Greater Manchester-born Wood on Instagram.
They both addressed the swirling rumours during a joint interview for US publication Variety, which was published on Wednesday.
Goggins said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman (Aimee) madly, and she is so important to me.'

He added that 'she's special', and explained he had not addressed the reports before as he did not want to talk about Wood when she was not there.
'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram,' Wood said.
Goggins said that when he finished The White Lotus he 'needed to just back away from everyone', as it is his 'process' when filming a project ends.
'It's all so ridiculous,' he said.

'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.'
Wood previously criticised a Saturday Night Live sketch, with an cast member impersonating her with exaggerated prosthetic teeth, calling it 'mean and unfunny' on Instagram.
She told Variety that it 'felt misogynistic. It felt like the punchline was a woman's appearance, which is just not funny. It's not cool'.
Goggins shared the same sketch online and praised Jon Hamm for playing a version of his character, before deleting the Instagram post, ahead of hosting SNL>

He said he was 'gonna say it (something) to your face', and added: 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.'
SNL apologised for the April sketch, according to Wood, and the comedian and cast member who impersonated her, Sarah Sherman, sent her flowers to apologise.
Wood is also known for Netflix teen show Sex Education, BBC comedy Daddy Issues and the 2022 drama film Living with Bill Nighy.
Goggins has been in Western series Justified, post-apocalyptic series Fallout, and drama Sons Of Anarchy.

He has had two Emmy nods, while Wood has won a TV Bafta for Sex Education and been given a Rising Star Bafta nomination.

I inherited a troublesome property in my aunt's will - it led to a bitter dispute but is now worth $6.4million
It's not your typical item to be left in a will from a loved one. Jill McClure inherited a theme park in North Carolina from her aunt Alaska Presley after she died in 2022. Ghost Town Village in Maggie Valley, a town outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, was once a tourist destination, but a tumultuous history had left the rides untouched for 15 years. The park has been riddled with bad luck from rides malfunctioning, being hit by a mudslide, closing down twice and attempting multiple unsuccessful re-openings in the past decade. After being locked in a legal battle for more than two years McClure has revealed that the park, that was recently appraised for $6.4million, finally has an interested buyer who plans to revitalize Ghost Town. McClure hasn't revealed the buyer's identity but said they were based in Florida and wanted to keep the western family-friendly theme of the park. 'It will be a totally different venue. They love country music, rodeos, convention-type events, festivals,' McClure told local ABC affiliate, WLOS. 'It's my intention to sell the park for something for entertainment that will help Maggie Valley's tourism industry. I don't want to see housing put all over the top of it,' McClure added. She said that the buyer's vision aligns with her late aunt's desire to help merchants and the people of Maggie Valley to make the area a buzzing tourist hub once again. Ghost Town has sat gathering dust for 15 years as the water line deteriorated and the rides were vandalized Sue Heise, who operates a store near the park, told WLOS that the news of a potential buyer was 'wonderful'. 'The tourism has been down. It will bring a lot of revenue into the town. I can't wait to hear the next edition of this,' she added. The community of Maggie Valley rejoiced on social media when news broke that a potential buyer was interested. 'I'm praying for this to happen and for our town Maggie Valley. 'I grew up with going to Ghost Town once a week being a season pass holder and working there a bit,' one comment read on the Ghost Town in the Sky Facebook group. 'I loved it and the waterside also go cart tracks we had. Maggie was thriving and so much wonderful memories which I pray to share with my grandchildren.' 'Absolutely loved that place and would really like to see it open again,' a second agreed. 'It's a great idea, everybody misses it just like it was no changes needed,' another added. Dismal history The park was fittingly named for its abandonment in recent years. Ghost Town has a long history of unfortunate events dating back to its inception in 1960, when Virginia businessman R.B. Coburn purchased Buck Mountain as the location of the park. It took $1million to construct the theme park, and Ghost Town became a fixture of the community throughout the '60s. However, the glory days of the North Carolina amusement park were short-lived as Ghost Town soon generated a reputation for being poorly maintained and operated. In 2002, the chairlift to the top of the mountain malfunctioned, leaving passengers stranded for hours in the rain. The failure was the last straw for Coburn, who decided to sell it later that year. The park rotted for years and filed for bankruptcy in 2009. The park's owner attempted to secure loans to reopen without any luck, until an anonymous donor put up the money. After years of abandonment, the park was a 'ghost town' no longer, and the public piled back onto Buck Mountain for the grand reopening. Unfortunately, the park's bad luck didn't end there as just one year later, the property's retaining walls gave way, resulting in a massive mudslide. A month after the shocking disaster, Ghost Town foreclosed and shuttered its doors once again. Presley bought the property in 2012 for $1.5million, but issues with the park's water line and years of neglect delayed. Then in 2014 water line problems prevented the park's opening, the Asheville Citizen Times reported at the time. Presley then placed the property into a limited liability corporation, Ghost Town in the Sky, and worked with the company to reopen the park. She died two years later and never got to see the reopening of the park. Frankie Wood was named managing member of Ghost Town in the Sky LLC, and McClure took over her aunt's share, The Mountaineer reported at the time. Legal woes Wood and McClure entered into a years-long legal battle over how the property's assets should be distributed. McClure's attorney alleged in a motion for summary judgment that Wood, 'member sits at the helm of the company like a parasite waiting for it to deteriorate further and further while he bears no risk'. Her attorney argued that McClure has been paying a bulk of the property taxes while receiving no income from the park for years Wood then died in 2024 after a construction accident, but his attorney, Russell McLean, told The Mountaineer, that the two had already 'buried the hatchet'. 'He said he realized the land deeded into the LLC is mine,' McClure told the publication. 'He never put any money into the LLC and in his deposition, he said he had no investors or prospective buyers. He asked me if I had prospective buyers, and I said people had expressed interest, but had no buyers.' After a long history of enthusiastic efforts, Ghost Town may finally once again see the light of day.

Justin Bieber spotted solo on coffee run after sparking fears over dramatic weight loss and mysterious injury
Justin Bieber was spotted on a coffee run on Saturday morning by himself. The Peaches singer, 31, was seen talking on his Bluetooth headset while driving through the streets of Los Angeles with his coffee in hand. Justin wore a light green beanie for the outing. Noticeably absent from his errand was his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, and son Jack Blues, 10 months. The Baby singer has been facing personal struggles in recent weeks, including a cryptic Instagram rant that many believe was aimed at his wife. The outing comes after he stepped out in Hollywood looking significantly thinner and wearing an unexplained knee brace on one leg. The pop star took to Instagram on Tuesday with a bizarre post to share his thoughts about telling other people what they do or do not 'deserve.' 'Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids,' he wrote in his latest post. 'Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have?' He balked at 'the audacity' and slammed his fans' unsolicited opinions: 'That's not your place. God decides what we deserve.' In response to his post, fans flooded his comments section with messages voicing concern, calling out his 'hypocrisy' and urging him to 'take a social media break.' Many fans seemed to believe he was responding to recent fan comments telling his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, that she 'deserves better' after his 'disrespectful' posts towards her. This comes after fans criticized his 'Mother's Day sucks a**' post on his wife's first Mother's Day since they welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. They also pointed out that he recently admitted he previously told Hailey that she would 'never' land a Vogue cover in a since-deleted caption meant to congratulate his wife on that same, recent accomplishment. He shared the post to his Instagram Story accompanied by Lil Tecca's song OWA OWA, in which he raps about pleasuring his partner and 'making it clear to his significant other that his time and presence should not be taken for granted,' per Genius. The Baby singer has been having personal problems of late, which he took out in a rant on Instagram that seemed to target his wife. One fan commented on the Peaches singer's post and wrote: 'Justin. You told Hailey she couldn't be on a cover of Vogue, isn't that telling her she can't have something?' 'Didn't you just tell this girl she couldn't be on Vogue,' another fan wrote. Similar comments flooded his post. One person asked him: 'Brother didn't you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of Vogue???' Another person added, 'Take a break from social media, Justin.' 'I think you should leave God out of this and grow up,' one Instagram user penned. 'God told me you need a social media break,' another fan commented. Justin's recent post comes amid concern about not only his marriage but his mental wellbeing regarding his increasingly bizarre behavior. After Hailey's Rhode beauty brand was acquired in a $1 billion deal last week, many fans started telling her to divorce Justin now that she has found fame and fortune on her own. Though many of the posts were apparent jokes, the couple have been entangled in rumors of marital woes while Justin has been on the receiving end of substantial backlash. The pair have been married nearly seven years after they tied the knot in 2018. Last year, they welcomed their first child together, son Jack Blues Bieber, who will turn one in August.
