Ginny And Georgia's Scott Porter Misinterprets Fan Comment
The much-anticipated third season of Ginny and Georgia hit our screens earlier this month, and there was one major storyline that left a whole load of fans pretty upset.
As you may know, in the very first episode of the Netflix series, Georgia met Mayor Paul Randolph, played by Scott Porter, who she eventually married in the Season 2 finale.
However, by episode 7 of Season 3, Paul had called time on their romance after Georgia cheated on him and discovered that she is pregnant — and people have had a lot of feelings about it in the comment section of Scott's Instagram account.
The actor, who has 755k followers, has been posting regularly since Season 3 premiered, and pretty much every post has been filled with fan reactions to Ginny and Georgia, which he always seems happy to indulge.'Is Paul the father or is it Joe? C'mon answer PLEASE,' a fan asked on one post, to which Scott replied: 'No one knows. Not even our creator.' On another post, somebody asked: 'Are you still mad at Georgia about the pregnancy thing,' and Scott wrote back: 'I'm sure Paul is…me? I'm over it.'
And recently, fans noticed that ever-obliging Scott had seemingly misinterpreted a fan's comment as they clocked his incredibly earnest answer under a carousel of his personal photos from filming Season 3.
Scott had captioned the behind-the-scenes shot: 'The joy of a job well done… That first pic was right after my last scene of Season 3. That moment always means a ton. Overjoyed, really, to be just a small part of this amazing team. I LOVE this cast, creatives, and crew. Overjoyed to finally share with the world! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!!! We LOVe y'all, too! A lot more BTS stuff from where this came from, stay tuned.'
Using what can only be described as 'Stan language,' one fan referenced Paul and Georgia's split as they commented on the post: 'i am a child of divorce,' which Scott appeared to take pretty literally.
Tagging the user, he replied: 'same but not, I just never knew my bio dad, left us when I was a baby still. My mom had to divorce him later as an absentee partner. Very lucky to have my stepdad step in when I was six.'
However, when his apparent blunder was pointed out to him, Scott insisted that he had been in on the joke the whole time. A well-meaning fan explained: 'she means that since you and Georgia got divorced she feels like she's a kid of divorce bc she was rooting for u and Georgia.'
And Scott quickly claimed: 'I know…a lot of people just acting like this is all RL so figured I'd jump in. 😂'
Either way, it's still pretty funny. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Doug Ford blasts Netflix doc on late brother Rob Ford: 'Let him rest in peace'
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a new Netflix documentary about his late brother Rob Ford is "disgusting." The doc titled 'Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem" chronicles Rob Ford's rise to power as Toronto mayor in 2010 and his chaotic time in office. Speaking at a news conference in Toronto, Doug Ford said he wasn't going to watch the film, and he doesn't see eye-to-eye with the creators. Ford said he spoke to one person who saw the doc and that it "absolutely infuriates" him. The film's director Shianne Brown told The Canadian Press last week that she had asked Doug Ford to participate in the film but he 'kindly declined.' It includes archival footage and interviews with journalists and insiders from Rob Ford's circle to trace the populist wave that swept him into office in 2010 and his struggles with addiction while in the spotlight. "It's just disgusting. Leave the guy alone, let him rest in peace. Let his family rest in peace," Doug Ford said Tuesday when asked about the documentary, which debuted that day. Rob Ford died of cancer in 2016 at age 46. He served as mayor until 2014. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 17, 2025. Alex Nino Gheciu, The Canadian Press

Anti-Jeff Bezos protesters in Venice vow drastic action to disrupt $7m wedding, make guests ‘choke on their wedding cake'
Anti-Jeff Bezos protesters out to disrupt his Venice wedding to Lauren Sanchez have threatened to make them 'choke on their wedding cake'. Local protesters have branded the Amazon founder and his helicopter pilot fiancée as 'oligarchs' and said they will take whatever action necessary to spoil the fairytale $7m wedding, which the locals mayor's office said will be held on Bezos' $500 million superyacht Koru, set to be anchored just outside the floating city. 'We'll throw ourselves into the canal if we have to, we'll make sure they choke on their wedding cake,' activists leading the protests said, according to the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine. Advertisement 8 A poster showing Jeff Bezos with a red clown nose and tape over his eyes. The text reads 'Veniceland: A playground for the olicharchy' No space for Bezos!/ Instagram 8 Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez at the Monaco Grand Prix 2025 Formula One race on May 25. IPA / 'We don't object to the marriage, but to the hubris of this technocrat feudal overlord who acts with such entitlement,' the local No Space for Bezos movement said. Groups protesting against Bezos — the third richest man in the world with a net worth of $226 billion — have also threatened to blockade the major waterways into the city, effectively cutting off supplies. Advertisement If that happens, as well as causing problems for the wedding organization, it would immediately cause prices to spike for anyone within Venice city limits, one of Europe's top tourist destinations, during high season. 'If they block the canal we wouldn't receive our goods. They would definitely block the Grand Canal, which is what transporters use to deliver goods in the morning. 'They start from Tronchetto and then arrive at Rialto [bridge in the center of the city], so it would create quite a lot of issues. The goods wouldn't arrive,' a representative for the Despar supermarket in Venice told The Post. 8 A huge banner hoisted onto St Marks' bell tower in Venice, one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city, protesting Bezos' wedding.

REUTERS Sources also said protesters were planning to arm themselves with water pistols to create more disturbances around the wedding. A number of yacht berths have been reserved for six days for the wedding – expected to take place between June 24 and 26 – including at Marittima, San Basilio, Zattere, Punta della Dogana, and Riva dei Sette Martiri, twice the number locals were told would be allocated by authorities.

AFP via Getty Images Over the last weekend, protesters in Venice hung a huge banner over St. Mark's tower in the city with 'Bezos' in blue capital letters and a red cross over it. The No Space for Bezos campaign – using a play on words related to the billionaire's Blue Origin space exploration company – have also unfurled banners and distributed stickers throughout the city. The Venice protests come against a backdrop of locals taking action against what they call over-tourism across southern Europe. Meanwhile, staff at Paris' Louvre art gallery, the most visited museum in the world, went on strike yesterday, saying it allows too many visitors in. Advertisement Around a thousand residents of Barcelona protested last Sunday by marching through a popular tourist area and spraying water pistols while slapping stickers reading 'Tourist Go Home!' on businesses and lamp posts. Other protests have taken place in Genoa in Italy, Portuguese capital Lisbon and the Spanish island of Majorca. Residents say they are being priced out of their towns by the influx of tourists from around the world and the hotels and other infrastructure built to accommodate them.

Coca-Cola's Smartwater is bringing back a former friend to its advertisements
Smartwater is bringing one of the world's most familiar faces — and former friend — back to its advertisements. Jennifer Aniston is once again the face of the electrolyte-infused water, rejoining the brand following a five-year hiatus. The Coca-Cola-owned unit has re-signed the actress and entrepreneur to attract attention to the nearly 30-year-old Smartwater, which faces growing competition from newer brands. Aniston first signed with Smartwater in 2007, shortly after Coca-Cola acquired the company, helping it become the top-selling premium water brand in the United States. Her memorable ads became a mainstay on television and in glossy magazines. Aniston will once again grip her trusty Smartwater in a global ad campaign launching Tuesday that includes ads on TV, online, billboards and in print. Since her exit from the brand, competition for premium water has greatly increased as consumers cut back on pricey purchases amid economic uncertainty. Smartwater is hoping the universally beloved star could help refresh the brand. 'The premium water segment's declining a bit and likely driven by some macroeconomic trends that are going on right now,' said Stacy Jackson, Coca-Cola's vice president of water and tea for North America. But consumers are still obsessed with hydration, and Smartwater sales have held steady. It's the top-selling brand in the category with dollar sales rising 5% last year to $1.4 billion. Consumers still associated Aniston with Smartwater despite her not being with the brand since 2020 when her contract ended. An A-lister for decades, she's remained in the public eye in recent years, notably with the starring role in the Apple TV+ series 'The Morning Show' as well as 'Friends' streaming on Netflix, which introduced her to a new generation of fans and further bolstered her popularity. That prompted Coca-Cola to rekindle discussions about a year ago. 'When we called her management company, her manager said, 'Where have you guys been? What took you so long?'' said Luke Perkins, group director of creative strategy at Coca-Cola, who described the partnership as 'a real love affair.' Aniston's new two-year deal with Smartwater has her starring in ads that are reminiscent of its past ads. In the first TV commercial, she's on set and facing demands from a director and takes a brief respite to sip on a bottle of Smartwater. Aniston 'gets that clarity through that drink of water and that moment for herself,' Perkins told CNN. 'That's our resolution: She's the ace of this and we can all use a little bit of that' In addition to posing with Smartwater's flagship product, which accounts for 82% of its sales, Aniston will also promote the brand's alkaline-infused waters as well its newly launched 12-ounce aluminum cans. Aniston said in a press release that 'in my heart, this partnership never really ended,' adding that the ads are a 'fun reminder that the smart choice is sometimes the simplest one, and how those choices can ultimately lead to greater well-being.' The hype around hydration is driving the growth of packaged water, according to Kelsey Girard, Mintel's senior food and drink analyst. Four in 10 consumers report being more focused on hydration compared to a year ago. 'Hydration is an attainable health priority when budgets are tighter, yet increased education around the benefits of proper hydration is resonating, too,' Girard said. Aniston could help Smartwater stand out in an increasingly crowded market. 'Bringing in an asset like a Jennifer Aniston is going to help as we look to increase overall awareness of our brand and ensure we bring in new users to the category and then also ensure that the users that we already have become lifetime loyalists,' Jackson told CNN. Signing a celebrity is en vogue with Smartwater's competitors. Icelandic Glacial announced last week it has enlisted dancer Julianne Hough to be its first-ever celebrity spokesperson. Danone's Evian last year partnered with music producer Pharrell Williams to create custom bottles and a tennis-themed fashion collection with the water brand. 'Premium bottled water is an obvious place for consumers to cut back to manage higher grocery costs,' said Duane Stanford, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest. 'Brands will look for ways to prove their value, in part by enticing consumers to act like the celebrities whose lifestyles they admire.'
