Christina Ricci Recalls a Man Sending 'a Printed-Out Photo' of His Penis to Her When She Was 11: 'The First D--- Pic I Saw'
Christina Ricci is recalling a disturbing moment from her childhood.
While appearing as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 10, the actress, 45, spoke about a time when a man sent her a photo of his penis when she was a preteen in 1991.
"When I was 11, I had a group of girlfriends, and we would all call 1-800-Mattress," Ricci told host Jimmy Kimmel, further explaining, "We prank-called them so much that we ended up having a regular guy that we would talk to named Jared."
After many calls, Ricci told Kimmel, 57, that things took a turn for the worst for her and her friends when "one of these idiot girls gave Jared her address, and he sent a picture of his penis in the mail."
"It was a printed-out photo developed at CVS Photoshop or something," she continued.

As Ricci and Kimmel made light of the incident, even poking fun at the idea of the man looking through his photo order and approving of the private part picture, the Yellowjackets star said she could not recall if the mail piece sent had a return address.
The actress also told the comedian that none of the friends in the group alerted a parent or the police about the situation. "No one told anymore. We just stopped calling," she said.

Kimmel later joked to Ricci that the man "invented the d--- pic, really," to which she responded, "It certainly was the first d--- pic I saw."
"I mean, that's a lot of effort. He gets an 'A' for effort, and he also gets a 'P' for pervert," Kimmel then teased.

The year when Ricci got the penis photo from the store worker fell around the same time she starred in her breakout role of Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family.
She previously made her film debut at the age of nine in Mermaids (1990), and later went on to continue her child actor roles in Casper and Now and Then, both released in 1995.
Ricci opened up to PEOPLE about her child stardom in a 2018 interview, stating, "I've had some incredible experiences and loved working as a child."
The mother of two added, "I loved working. I loved being a kid who had a talent. I loved being good at something. I loved all that positive reinforcement I got every day. I loved getting to use my imagination in a way that really created things. It was incredible to be able to do that so young."

Glen Powell's Ex Gigi Paris Breaks Her Silence on Sydney Sweeney Romance Rumors After Their Public Split: 'I Hope They're in Love'
Gigi Paris appeared on Emma Klipstein's Too Much podcast on June 10 and opened up about her public breakup with Glen Powell The model and actor's split was confirmed in April 2023 amid speculation about Powell's chemistry with then-costar Sydney Sweeney as they promoted their rom-com Anyone But You, though a source told PEOPLE there was no truth to rumors about Sweeney playing a part in the breakup Addressing the rumors, Paris said of her ex and his costar, "I hope they're in love"Gigi Paris is speaking out about her highly publicized split from Glen Powell more than two years later. The model joined influencer Emma Klipstein for an honest conversation in a recent episode of her Too Much podcast. During the episode, which was released on Tuesday, June 10, Paris broke her silence on their split and how a phone call from Powell changed everything — and addressed the romance rumors between the star and his Anyone But You costar Sydney Sweeney while they were dating. Paris revealed that the pair's relationship, which PEOPLE confirmed was over in April 2023, began to break down six months before their eventual split, which came amid fan speculation about a romantic relationship between Powell, 36, and Sweeney, 27. While not naming Powell or Sweeney, Paris referenced the speculation online about the pair and shared, "It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f---?' Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do ... I was shattered." "I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public," she continued. "Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know? And at the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first. And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs." Paris then went on to criticize Powell for not shutting down the rumors at the time. "Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said. And that wasn't said ... Never once." "It was serving them for their PR. Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy." "Just to sell a movie or not, who knows?" she continued, "And I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot." Representatives for Powell and Sweeney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

During the promotional tour of Anyone But You in April 2023, Powell and Sweeney touted their chemistry during an appearance for the rom-com at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Months later, Sweeney addressed the romance rumors during an interview with Variety. "It's a rom-com. That's what people want!" she said. "Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he's such a hard worker, and I'm a hard worker." The Euphoria star added, "They want it. It's fun to give it to 'em.' During an interview with Insider in December 2023, Powell opened up about the tension in his personal life, between his breakup with Paris and his promotional appearances with Sweeney ahead of their rom-com's premiere. "Well, look, the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour," Powell said of his and Sweeney's decision to "lean in" to their onscreen chemistry. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff," the Twisters star shared. "It was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy. So it was a little harder for me." (At the time Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino, though they called it off earlier this year.) Klipstein went on to ask Paris if she ever got "clarity of whether or not you were cheated on," to which Paris responded, "I have heard so many different sides of the story. I have no confirmation of what actually happened. I just know what my standards are. And for me, it just wasn't okay the way it was handled, period." In April 2023, PEOPLE confirmed that the actor and Paris broke off their relationship after three years of dating. According to a source, their relationship had previously been on the rocks, and his various filming locations put a strain on the dynamic. "Gigi and Glen had broken up several times," the source told PEOPLE in 2023 at the time of their breakup. "They had been on the rocks since Top Gun came out. Gigi was never happy with the long distance filming and when she came to Australia [where Powell was filming Anyone But You] they both decided to break up for good." During her podcast appearance, Paris denied distance was behind the split and detailed flying to Australia — where Powell was filming Anyone But You — to end things with the actor after a phone call she got from him changed everything. "I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work," Paris said, adding that "all this s--- was coming out on the Internet." "And he called and said, the producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit ... And that's when I hung up. And I was like, this motherf----- is done to me," she added. "That phone call really is what broke me," she continued. "I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better. But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved." "I went anyways just to look him in the eye and break up with him," Paris said, adding "it was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do." "But then I was stuck there for two weeks doing my jobs. And there was a rule, like, I was not allowed near set. I was not allowed anywhere near production. It was very bizarre," she added. The Hit Man star and Paris were first linked in early 2020 when they were spotted on a romantic vacation in Mexico. The couple made their relationship Instagram official a year later. Amid their split, some speculated that Powell's chemistry with Sweeney played a role, especially after Paris unfollowed the Euphoria actress on Instagram. However, another source told PEOPLE there was no truth to the rumors. "Gigi only unfollowed Sydney on social media because Sydney never followed her back. This had nothing to do with Glen and Sydney. Gigi is aware that Glen and Sydney never hooked up," the insider said, adding that the model felt the distance when Glen was on set. "He takes his work very seriously, and it was tough on the relationship." Paris also addressed the more recent rumors about Powell and Sweeney amid Sweeney's breakup from her fiancé Davino. "Like I said, like, I hope that if they're meant to be, that they're meant to be. It's really none of my business anymore. Like, that's what I really wanted the end to be, is to just to walk away from that, because it's a f------ circus," she said, adding, "Like, the way that they handle things for headlines or whatnot, like, I don't live that way. So you do you. It's none of my business anymore." Read the original article on People🚨 Do you have a relationship problem that could use the help of Amy Robach and T.J.

Billy Joel's first wife walked out on him in hospital bed after motorcycle crash that nearly killed him
Billy Joel is reliving some of the most painful moments in his life. In the upcoming documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," the "Piano Man" crooner, 76, recalled the moment his first wife, Elizabeth Weber, walked away from their marriage shortly after his near-fatal motorcycle crash. "I always romanticized motorcycles. There's something about it. I feel like I can be completely disconnected from the world. There's a sense of freedom about that," Joel said in the doc, per People. Billy Joel Cancels All Concerts Due To Brain Disorder Diagnosis Joel said his admiration for motorcycles left Weber "scared all the time." "I on many occasions said to him, you know, 'You can't do this, this is dangerous,'" she said. Read On The Fox News App "Elizabeth had warned me, she said, 'Be careful, be careful, 'cause you're going to have an accident,'" the musician recalled. In 1982, Joel suffered multiple injuries after his bike crashed into a vehicle mid-intersection. "I was amazed I was still alive. I should have died in that accident," he said. "And I laid there in shock for a couple of minutes and I went to the hospital." The accident left him with a broken arm, leg and wrist. While he recovered in the hospital, Weber opted out of the marriage. "I would've stayed, I would've been able — like so many women before me — to make that accommodation for someone you love ,but there was no way that I could stand by and watch him kill himself," said Weber, who recalled placing the house key onto a tray in his hospital room. "I just didn't have that in me. And I felt very strongly that that's what was going." When Weber left the hospital, she recalled telling Joel, "You know, someday they may write about us and I hope that they say that we really did something." According to her, Joel responded with, "I hope they could say we went all the way." She added, "And that was it. That really was the final. That was it." The couple were married from 1973 until 1982. "After 'Glass Houses' came out I was always on the road, working, working, I look back on that guy and I don't even know who he was, he had to be so ambitious to work that hard and work that much," Joel said in the documentary. "So, it must have not been easy to be married to me at the time." "I wasn't asking him to change, but I just did not want to live like that. My response to it was to get a place in New York City where you can enjoy anonymity — so it wasn't so much as we separated, but we started to get a little bit isolated from one another and I also knew that he wasn't in a good place. We were all under a lot of stress," Weber said. "All of us dealt with our stresses in different ways. And so there was a lot, a lot of alcohol use and eventually a lot of drug use." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News Elsewhere in the documentary, Joel also opened up about what led him to attempt suicide twice and fall into a coma. When the musician was in his early 20s, Joel was part of a band called Attila with his best friend, Jon Small, who was married to Weber at the time. He ended up moving in with Small, Weber, and their son, according to People. "Bill and I spent a lot of time together," Weber confessed in the documentary, per People. She added that their friendship was gradual and a "slow build." Joel eventually told his best friend, "I'm in love with your wife." "I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker," Joel admitted in the documentary, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday. "I was just in love with a woman, and I got punched in the nose, which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset." Billy Joel Opens Up About Affair That Led To Two Suicide Attempts The betrayal not only ended Joel and Small's friendship at the time but also dissolved their band, Attila. Consumed by guilt and depression, Joel's personal and professional life unraveled, as he began to spiral. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter "I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats, and I was depressed, I think to the point of almost being psychotic," Joel said in the documentary. So, I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.' I was just in a lot of pain and it was sort of like why hang out? Tomorrow is going to be just like today is, and today sucks. So, I just thought I'd end it all." Joel's sister shared in the film that she was working as a medical assistant and gave him sleeping pills to help with the restless nights.

"I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet. I thought that I'd killed him." While Joel acknowledged that he had been "very selfish" during the tumultuous time, he recalled his first thought when he woke up from his coma was that he wanted to attempt suicide again. During Joel's second attempt at suicide, he ingested "lemon Pledge," a furniture polish. Miraculously, he survived both attempts, after Small rushed him to the hospital. "Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life," Joel explained in the documentary. Fox News Digital's Stephanie Giang-Paunon contributed to this post.
