Jana Kramer speaks out after her husband claimed he would 'never' allow her to do sex scenes
Jana Kramer has insisted her husband "was joking" when he said he had forbidden her from filming sex scenes.
The 41-year-old actress has been married to soccer coach Allan Russell since 2024, and even though he previously claimed he wouldn't allow her to appear on camera in any intimate scenes, she has now insisted that there is simply a "conversation" they have before she accepts any sort of acting job.
She told E! News: "He was joking.
"There's a conversation with every [job] we take. It's the same thing with his line of work.
"That's what marriage is—it's a conversation. It's not like, 'No, you cannot do this.' I don't think that's healthy."
However, the former One Tree Hill star - who has two-year-old son Roman with Allan as well as Jolie, nine, and six-year-old Jace with ex-husband Mike Caussin - explained that she will not be undressing on camera for "no reason" and that it would all have to be for something "creatively" challenging.
She said: "I'm not going to do something that is wildly taking my clothes off for no reason.
"If it is creatively gonna move the needle and it's important to me for the role, he is so supportive."
What's more, Jana - who was initially married to Michael Gambino and then to Johnathon Schaech - insisted that her current husband is the reason behind the newfound "confidence" she has in her career.
She said: "I do owe a lot of it to my husband.
"In the past I wouldn't have focused so much on the work because I was so worried about, 'OK, what woman is he cheating on me with?' I wasn't able to truly settle and be confident."
Despite Jana's new comments on her husband, he previously insisted that he would "never" let another man get close to her.
Speaking to his wife on her Whine Down podcast, he said: 'There's not part of me that will ever, ever, ever allow that, ever, for a man to be that close to you like that.

5 Things We Learned About the Next ‘James Bond' Game: 007 First Light
By Dean Blake - News Published: 7 June 2025 |Last Updated: 5 June 2025 Share Copy Link Readtime: 5 min The Lowdown: 007 First Light | Image: IO Interactive Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. At a time that we've been waiting patiently for any news of when everybody's favourite secret agent will be making his next appearance on the big screen, Sony just went ahead and dropped a trailer for a brand new James Bond game. 007 First Light is a new take on the often reinterpreted character, clearly eschewing the book-and-film series' various canons to present a new origin story: one unique to this much younger version of Bond. Created by IO Interactive, the people behind the incredible Hitman series, 007 First Light looks particularly promising in a industry finally taking licensed games seriously. If you haven't seen the first trailer for the new James Bond game, check it out below. Looks pretty good, right? Well, there's a bit more packed in that 3 minutes that we can tease out with a bit of digging: so here's 5 things we learned about 007 First Light. 1. Bond has a Backstory As a rule, Bond's backstory is usually pretty muddy. He's a secret agent, after all, and tends to keep his history pretty close to his chest. First Light seems to be taking things pretty closely from Ian Fleming's original novels, with Bond joining the secret service following the deaths of his parents after a mountaineering accident. After a few years in the Navy, and a few too many run-ins with authority, Bond is headhunted by MI6 and begins his journey to become the infamous, charismatic agent we all know today. In First Light, we'll see that process play out and, in some ways, will get to determine what kind of agent this version of Bond is. 007 First Light | Image: IO Interactive 2. Free-Form Gameplay takes Centre Stage… Now, this may not be a surprise to those of us in the know given IO Interactive's pedigree, but 007 First Light is going to feature open-ended, mission-based gameplay. It's a third-person action-adventure, likely in a similar style to IO's Hitman series, where you'll be dropped into 'breathtaking locations' with a goal to accomplish, and decide yourself how you'll proceed. Is your James Bond a silent assassin, keeping to shadows and eliminating guards as they pass his hiding place? Or is he more of a 'shoot first, sneak later' kind of agent? Or, does he aim to keep the body-count low, using gadgets to infiltrate or his natural British charm to bluff his way past potential encounters? I'd honestly think it was just the kind of overpromising many developers are prone to do at a game's announcement, only to reel it back in as you get closer to release, but this is IO Interactive. If any developer can nail the kind of free-form infiltrating a game like this requires, it's the team behind Hitman. I'm very hopeful. 007 First Light | Image: IO Interactive 3. …but Narrative is a Star Player A focus on gameplay doesn't mean the game's story gets thrown to the wayside, though. In First Light, Bond will be tracking down a rogue agent—009, specifically—who, according to MI6, is a master manipulator with an end-game they likely won't see coming. Why send an unproven, unreliable wannabe agent to track down a skilled defector? If 009 is as intelligent as MI6 thinks, they probably know everything the other 00 agents will do to track them down and can avoid them, but Bond is an unknown, a wild card, and likely MI6's best chance at tracking its former agent down. While we don't have much idea of what to expect from the story of 007 First Light, it's clearly going to be a particularly cinematic one, with IO Interactive likely relishing the chance to write a more charismatic and talkative character (no shade to Agent 47, of course). 007 First Light | Image: IO Interactive 4. There are a Ton of Classic Bond Goodies in the Trailer Bond has always been tied to real-world products, from his signature appreciation of cars and watches (especially when they're deadly weapons in their own right) to his love of Vesper Martinis, shaken, not stirred. In the 3 minutes and 14 seconds of trailer footage seen so far, we spotted a whole bunch of Omega watches, including an unreleased model, as well as the fact the man himself is driving an Aston Martin again—probably the Aston Martin V8. These are all undoubtedly geared up to the extreme by Q, with Bond seen accidentally kicking off a hidden thruster on a nearby dirt bike with the press of a button, and are likely to play a key role in the new agent's success in tracking down his mark. I honestly can't wait to cruise around in a Bond car, especially if there are hidden machine guns or something. 5. It's Coming in 2026 While we'll be learning more about the game in the coming months, we know it's set for launch in 2026. And, while it was shown at PlayStation's State of Play, and all the focus was on its launch on Sony's platform, 007 First Light is also coming to Xbox Series S/X, Steam, Epic Games, and the newly-released Nintendo Switch 2. 2026 is already looking pretty stacked for great games, with The Duskbloods, Saros, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Nioh 3, Fable, and, obviously, Grand Theft Auto 6 set to launch (not to mention a potential Elder Scrolls 6). Now, we've got one more reason to look forward to next year.

Sophia Bush details harrowing abuse on the set of huge US show that lasted years
Sophia Bush allegedly suffered 'every kind' of abuse from an older man while working on her dream show. 'I had a workplace ongoing trauma revolving around an unending situation with someone old enough to be my father,' Bush said in Tuesday's episode of the Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky podcast. The actress said the show was on her 'bucket list,' and while she didn't name the title, Bush confirmed that it was a series she signed onto after starring in One Tree Hill from 2003 to 2012. Bush, 42, notably portrayed Erin Lindsay in Chicago P.D. from 2014 to 2017 — leaving after Season 4 due to its alleged toxic work environment. When Lewinsky asked Bush, who has previously discussed being 'miserable' on the set, if she experienced something 'emotionally abusive' on set, Bush described it as 'every kind of abusive.' 'I did the thing I learned to do and said, 'I will not have my integrity diminished by someone else's behaviour. I will be unflappable. I will come to work and do my job.' And I couldn't,' she said. Bush described the last two years on the show as a 'physical hell' before she ended her run on the series. She allegedly suffered horrific symptoms from the stress of the situation, getting a 'spontaneous illness,' waking up 'covered in hives,' having 'really crazy weight fluctuation' and even losing her hair.' Additionally, Bush couldn't sleep due to her 'crippling anxiety.' 'To be hit with anxiety in such a way that I could barely be out of the house. If people touched me in public, I would jump out of my skin,' Bush recalled. 'I couldn't talk to people anymore. I couldn't talk to strangers anymore. I couldn't be looked at anymore.' Bush, comparing the trauma to a 'physical attack,' said she could no longer self-regulate and felt that her body was not her own. 'Because I had to go to work ready for war all the time, I had to learn where to stand to not get elbowed in the ribs or how to block a scene to not be touched. It was just exhausting,' she claimed. Bush said she was 'finally' able to exit the police drama in April 2017 – just three months before the #MeToo movement rocked Hollywood. 'By October [2017], I got a call from an executive apologising for what they'd done and not done,' she claimed. 'And [they] said, 'We're very aware we just made it out of that unscathed.'' Bush continued, 'I was like, 'Glad you did, I'm in so much therapy. I've been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, but I'm thrilled you guys didn't get dragged through the press.'' The TV star admitted that it was a 'weird thing to deal with.' While Bush initially left the show without giving a reason, she later admitted to 'drowning' on set of the NBC show in a December 2017 interview. The following year she shared on The Armchair Expert podcast that she 'felt so ignored' during her stint on the series. 'I feel like I was standing butt naked, bruised and bleeding in the middle of Times Square, screaming at the top of my lungs and not a single person stopped to ask if they could help me,' she said at the time.
