Sitting next to Cohen were Porsha Williams on one side and Shamea Morton on the other side. Next to Williams was Phaedra Parks, followed by Cynthia Bailey. On the couch with Morton, Angela Oakley sat beside her, followed by Kelli Ferrell and Drew Sidora.
Some fans were looking forward to Moore returning to the show after her abrupt exit following an incident with Eady. Early on in the season, cameras captured the moment Moore shared alleged explicit photos of Eady during the grand opening of her hair spa. Production suspended Moore as they investigated the incident, and the star soon exited the show.
'I'm disappointed to not be a part of the RHOA 16 reunion taping today,' Moore shared in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. 'Please know that I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon.'
Moore is one of the most recognizable stars of the RHOA franchise, and alongside Porsha Williams, was leading a new generation of peaches following an extended hiatus to retool the cast. Things didn't pan out that way as Williams found herself in the middle of this mess with Eady.
On her part, Eady skipped filming the reunion altogether and made a revelation about the explicit photo Moore showed at her event.
'As everyone is now aware, I'm not attending the reunion. This was my decision,' she said in a post on Instagram Stories. 'The events of this season have devastated me, and while I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me.'
Eady notes that she did not attend the event and didn't see the photo Moore exposed in front of cameras, adding, 'Based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me — which is why I reacted in the way that I did.'
'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,' she said. 'I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life.'

Miami contestant booted from ‘Love Island' amid online backlash. What we know
Yulissa Escobar did not get off to an auspicious start on Peacock dating show 'Love Island USA.' The bubbly Miami contestant was ousted during the second episode Wednesday night. What happened? Redditors unearthed old videos of Escobar dropping the n-word repeatedly on an old podcast discussing a past partner. Once those clips went viral, the 27-year-old's fate was apparently sealed. Viewers, who can vote on their fave pairings from the comfort of home, were introduced to Escobar last week. But this week, she vanished from Fiji (and TV screens) with narrator Iain Stirling announcing her departure midway through the show. 'Yulissa has left the villa,' Stirling said of the businesswoman who runs Aesthetic Events, a local mobile bar company. Peacock offered no explanation, nor did Escobar when the Miami Herald reached out to her for comment. But one of her recent Instagram posts, announcing she was joining the show, was telling, with critics flooding the comments. 'Can't wait to send you home.' 'Oh girl you'll be the first to go.' 'Don't get too comfortable.' In another promo clip, Escobar describes why she's a great catch. 'I'm here to find my knight in shining armor, I want that movie kind of love,' says the four foot 10 entrepreneur. 'I'm super fun ... like this bundle of joy that just came out of nowhere.'

In a video message shared on his Instagram Stories on Thursday, June 5, the 40-year-old Olympian thanked his friends and family who reached out after his estranged wife Kayla publicly shared her decision to "end" their marriage a day earlier. "Just wanna say thank you to everyone that wrote a message, reached out to me," Lochte said in his Stories, while in the car with his daughter Liv Rae and son Caiden Zane. "Just open arms. It means a lot to me. Yesterday was a rough day for me, but, like always in life, you've got to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward." Lochte continued, saying, "And thats what I'm doing. To my second family that sent me this beautiful card, and a basket full of candy that now my son is eating," before Caiden jumped into the video to show a box of Whoppers. "Thank you guys, I love you guys." Lochte said before ending his video. The swimmer added, "Love y'all," in text over the video.

'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' Kayla began in her statement. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life.

The Question Everyone's Asking After ‘Ginny & Georgia' Season 3
Spoilers below. Somebody get Maury Povich in touch with Georgia Miller. The 'Mayoress Murderess' of Wellsbury and co-lead protagonist of Netflix's hit dramedy Ginny & Georgia is officially pregnant again—for real this time!—and she might need some help determining paternity. In season 3, Georgia fakes a pregnancy using her daughter's (real) positive pregnancy test, so as to convince her husband, Mayor Paul Randolph, not to divorce her during her ongoing murder trial. But before she makes this objectively awful decision, Georgia first comforts her daughter, Ginny, after the latter has an abortion. As the two cuddle on the couch, Georgia shares that, when she herself was pregnant as a teenager, she wanted 'milk, just all the time. Straight from the carton. I would've sucked a cow.' She also jokes to Ginny, 'We are very fertile. Men sneeze at me, I'm ovulatin'. I had two kids before I could legally order a margarita.' Both throwaway lines serve as foreshadowing for what's to come in the finale episode, when a freed Georgia trots through the kitchen, drinking a quart of milk straight from the carton. 'Mom,' a startled Ginny begins, 'didn't you say you drink milk when you're pregnant?' The look on Georgia's face quickly confirms Ginny's suspicions. So has show creator Sarah Lampert, who asserts that Georgia is indeed pregnant. The big question everyone's asking, then: Who's the father? As Lampert joked to Netflix's Tudum, 'Ginny gets pregnant, Georgia fakes a pregnancy, and then Georgia really gets pregnant, and we don't know who the dad is. And when you say these things out loud, you're like, 'What in the world is this show?!'' (A fair question.) There are two potential options for the baby's father, as far as the audience knows: Mayor Paul and Blue Farm Café owner Joe, who first met Georgia as a teenager. Earlier in the season, Georgia sleeps with her then-husband Paul in a last-ditch effort to make their marriage work, before she makes the false pregnancy claim. Later, Paul leaves her and she makes the decision to skip town and dodge her trial. Joe shows up at her door hours before she makes a run for it, and the two end up sleeping together. 'In that moment, who shows up, but Joe, and he's not there to make a move,' Lampert told Deadline. 'He's not there in a romantic like, 'Oh, man, she really needs a friend.' So there's a little bit of an opening there for them to appreciate new things about each other. Because for him, it's always been this infatuation.' And if her reciprocation is any indicator, Georgia has feelings for him, too. So, who is the father of her unborn child? By the end of the season, it's clear that Paul and Georgia's relationship is officially over. There's little but hurt between them now, which has led Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, to theorize that Joe would make for a better dad. 'Seeing the way things ended [between Georgia and Paul], seeing all of our true colors, and what we brought out of one another, I think the healthiest option for everyone was probably for that relationship to dissolve,' Howey told Tudum. 'And perhaps someone new is about to be a dad,' she teases. Added Raymond Ablack, who plays Joe, 'I would die of a broken heart [if Paul were the father].' Lampert told TVLine in a post-finale interview that, despite some early 'debate,' the Ginny & Georgia writers' room has indeed 'landed on whose baby it is.' Still, she insisted in a separate interview with Deadline that she can always change her mind. 'Here's what I'll say about that,' she told the outlet. 'I know whose baby she's carrying, but I went into the writer's room this season and I said, 'Here's who the daddy is. Change my mind.' So it's live wire in there. I'm telling you right now, I am open to being convinced otherwise.' Clearly, when it comes to love affairs, so is Georgia. After she turned down Joe's advances in the season 3 finale, she might have to reconsider her relationship with him when season 4 comes around. Until then, she'll just have to frequent the dairy aisle. This story will be updated.
