Viola Davis Was Left Mortified After Her Husband, Julius Tennon, Hilariously Revealed How Low Her Credit Score Was When They Met
Viola Davis and Julius Tennon are undoubtedly one of the sweetest celebrity couples out there.
The pair met back in 1999 in the breakfast queue on the set of the CBS series City of Angels, where Julius — who is an actor and producer — gave Viola his contact card.
The couple — who got married in 2003 — have given fans insight into their wholesome relationship time and again over the years. And this week, they sat down for a joint appearance on Hot Ones Versus, where they reflected on the early days of their romance.
Reading from a cue-card, Julius asked Viola during the interview, 'What was your credit score when we first met?' Viola immediately shook her head, saying, 'People think I'm together. If I tell them what my credit score was…'

Julius replied, 'That was then, this is now…When I met you, I knew you had bad credit! I had good credit.'

Viola then joked about having '$2 sheets' and a 'pot that would burn as soon as you put it on the stove,' before stating, 'It was 500. My credit score was 500.'

However, Julius quickly (and hilariously) intervened. 'No, it was under 500!' he said.
When Viola insisted that it was in fact 500, Julius replied, 'No it wasn't, it was 4 something. It was down,' before estimating that it was somewhere between 430 and 470.

'It was that low?!' Viola questioned, looking shocked. Julius replied, 'You had no credit!' to which she agreed, 'Yeahhh.'
Viola then asked Julius, 'Did you think that I got with you because you had good credit?' He replied, 'No, I thought you got with me because you liked me!'

The pair burst out laughing, with Viola joking that Julius having good credit made him 'more attractive.'
Reacting to the hilarious exchange, one person wrote about Julius, 'He could have let her have the 500. My gosh!' Someone else agreed, 'He kept making it worse dang.'

Some users admitted that Viola and Julius's candid remarks were relatable. 'This actually makes me feel better in some odd way 😩 like I'm not behind,' one comment read, while another wrote, 'That head down part with the shake. I've never related to anything so much as that low credit bow.'
And tons of fans couldn't help but gush over how cute Viola and Julius are.
'They're friends, the way he's roasting her. I love these kinds of marriages,' someone wrote. 'You can tell they're really good friends too,' another user wrote.
'Their energy is EVERYTHING 🥰 you can see the pure love and vulnerability!' one more person added.

Miley Cyrus heckled at NYC Tribeca Film Festival by fans who thought premiere was a concert: ‘We paid $800'
They came in like a wrecking ball. Miley Cyrus, the Disney child star turned pop sensation, was heckled by fans at the world premiere of her 'Something Beautiful' long-form music video screening during the Tribeca Film Festival, footage of the awkward exchange showed. Fans who attended the special screening at The Beacon Theatre were seemingly under the impression that Cyrus would be performing during the event rather than promoting the upcoming film. 4 Miley Cyrus was heckled by fans during the world premiere of her 'Something Beautiful' visual album. Getty Images for Tribeca Festival 'We thought this was a concert, we paid $800,' one person shouted at her during the Q&A segment that took place on stage after the film. 'Are you actually going to sing?' another person questioned. The festival promoted Friday's event as a 'one-of-a-kind pop opera featuring thirteen original new songs from the Something Beautiful album' with 'an exclusive conversation' with the three-time Grammy winner after the 55-minute project aired. However, some fans who purchased their tickets on resale websites accused the third-party ticketing platforms of misleading them. A user on X posted a screenshot from a Google search of the event, which read 'Miley Cyrus Tickets & 2025 Endless Summer Vacation Tour Dates — though the 'Used To Be Young' singer is not on tour and the 'Endless Summer Vacation' record came out in 2023. 'This is the link I clicked on to buy. Says concert tour dates not movie dates,' the fan alleged on X. 4 Some fans thought the event was going to be a live concert. Dia Dipasupil Other fans who allegedly bought resale tickets were stunned that the expensive event wasn't a concert and even left early out of frustration, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'No one would've spent this much money if we had known,' an attendee told the outlet. 'She doesn't tour, she doesn't play live often.' As of May 27, resale tickets for the Upper Balcony on Vivid Seats started at $510 and became more expensive closer to the stage. The Post reached out to Vivid Seats for comment. 4 Cyrus released her ninth studio album 'Something Beautiful' on May 30. Ouzounova / The 'Flowers' hitmaker eventually gave in to the hecklers' requests and sang her hit 'The Climb' in a cappella fashion. Tickets to see the 'Hannah Montana' alum's visual album and conversation at the 2,600-seat venue were initially sold on Ticketmaster and titled 'Miley Cyrus World Premiere of Something Beautiful.' It was one of the rare opportunities fans had to see the 'Flowers' singer in person. 'I can't. Not only 'can't…' because can't is your capability, but my desire,' Cyrus told British Vogue in June 2023. 'Do I want to live my life for anyone else's pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?' 4 Cyrus started dating boyfriend Maxx Morando in 2021 after they were set up on a blind date. GC Images Cyrus added that she felt disconnected from her fans while on stage. 'Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn't really the thing that I love,' Cyrus shared. 'There's no connection. There's no safety.' The 'Party in the USA' singer's last big tour was for 'Bangerz' in 2014. Cyrus performed in over 70 shows on the 'Bangerz' tour and followed that up with her '2015 Milky Milky Milk Tour,' which consisted of only eight shows. On top of feeling 'isolated' while on the road, the 'We Can't Stop' vocalist has a medical issue impacting her performance abilities Cyrus claimed she has Reinke's edema, a disorder she described as an 'abuse of the vocal cords.' 'It's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on,' the star revealed during an interview with Apple Music.

Tony Awards offer many intriguing matchups in a star-studded season
NEW YORK -- A pair of singing androids. Two Pulitzer Prize-winning plays. A drunken Mary Todd Lincoln. A musical with a corpse as its hero. Romeo, Juliet and teddy bears with rave music. Not to mention George Clooney. Broadway has had a stuffed season with seemingly something for everyone and now it's time to recognize the best with the Tony Awards, hosted by Cynthia Erivo, set for Sunday night on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Broadway buzz is usually reserved for musicals but this year the plays — powered by A-list talent — have driven the conversation. There's Clooney in 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal in 'Othello,' Sarah Snook in a one-woman version of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and her 'Succession' co-star Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk in 'Glengarry Glen Ross.' (Clooney, Snook and Odenkirk are nominated for Tonys.) There were two Pulitzer winners — 2024 awardee 'English' and 'Purpose' from 2025 — but perhaps one of the season's biggest surprises was 'Oh, Mary!,' Cole Escola's irreverent, raunchy, gleefully deranged revisionist history centered on Mary Todd Lincoln. All three are nominated for best play, along with 'John Proctor is the Villain' and 'The Hills of California.' On the musical side, three options seem to be in the mix for the top prize: 'Maybe Happy Ending,' a rom-com about a pair of androids; 'Dead Outlaw,' about an alcoholic drifter whose embalmed body becomes a prized possession for half a century; and 'Death Becomes Her,' the musical satire about longtime frenemies who drink a magic potion for eternal youth and beauty. 'Maybe Happy Ending,' 'Death Becomes Her' and another musical nominee, 'Buena Vista Social Club,' lead nominations with 10 apiece. The 2024-2025 season took in $1.9 billion, making it the highest-grossing season ever and signaling that Broadway has finally emerged from the COVID-19 blues, having overtaken the previous high of $1.8 billion during the 2018-2019 season. 'We're going through this strange period, which I would think someday we can draw the line from COVID to this, as you can draw the line from the early 1980s with AIDS to the explosion of big musicals again,' says Harvey Fierstein, who will get a special Tony for lifetime achievement. Audra McDonald, the most recognized performer in the theater awards' history, could possibly extend her Tony lead. Already the record holder for most acting wins with six Tonys, McDonald could add to that thanks to her leading turn in an acclaimed revival of 'Gypsy.' She has to get past Nicole Scherzinger, who has been wowing audiences in 'Sunset Blvd.' And Kara Young — the first Black female actor to be nominated for a Tony Award in four consecutive years — could become the first Black person to win two Tonys consecutively, should she win for her role in the play 'Purpose.' Other possible back-to-back winners include director Danya Taymor, hoping to follow up her 2024 win with 'The Outsiders' with another for 'John Proctor Is the Villain,' and 'Purpose' playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, who won last year with 'Appropriate.' Other possible firsts include Daniel Dae Kim, who could become the first Asian winner in the category of best leading actor in a play for his work in a revival of 'Yellow Face.' And Marjan Neshat and her 'English' co-star Tala Ashe could become the first female actors of Iranian descent to win a Tony. Broadway this season saw a burst in alt-rock and the emergence of stories of young people for young people, including 'John Proctor is the Villain' and a 'Romeo + Juliet' pitched to Generation Z and millennials. Sunday's telecast, as usual, will have a musical number for each of the shows vying for the best new musical crown, as well as some that didn't make the cut, like 'Just in Time,' a musical about Bobby Darin, and 'Real Women Have Curves.' This year, there's also room for 'Hamilton,' celebrating its 10th year on Broadway. But the musicals 'BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical' and 'SMASH' didn't get slots.
