Jason Ralph sets off internet drama after liking shady comment on Rachel Brosnahan's chemistry with Superman co-star David Corenswet
It all started with a squashed banana
The drama traces back to June 2, 2025, when Ralph shared what seemed like a harmless photo of a squashed banana. Comments were enabled, and fans recently spotted a screenshot on Reddit showing that Ralph had liked a comment criticizing Brosnahan's chemistry with Corenswet. The comment read: 'It's genuinely sad to see your career being tucked out to be remembered as a cuckold because your wife couldn't handle herself with her co-actor.' Like, bro… let's have some self-love and stand up for yourself man, leave her to be with him if she wants that much at the end of the day."
Reddit weighs in on the controversy
Once the screenshot circulated, Reddit erupted with speculations. Some suggested the like might hint at tension in the couple's nearly decade-long marriage, while others laughed at the bizarre situation, reasoning it could very well be a sarcastic jibe.
One user said, "I would not put much stock into this, and it could just be sarcasm. Someone also recently wrote a disgusting comment about Rachel's breasts on either Vanity Fair or The Hollywood Reporter IGs, and Jason told the guy to watch himself. Guy responded with typical incel nonsense once he realised Jason is Rachel's husband.
People are such children with seeing actors have chemistry and say the dumbest shit. A million gifs of crying Peter Parker for any Challengers clips. People are also saying pretty terrible things on David's wife Julia's IG too."
Another user had a different take: "Interesting timing with the recent release of behind-the-scenes footage of David and Rachel being very close. For everyone's sake (including their spouses), I hope it's all just rumours with no standing."
One Redditor stated, "That's so obviously a joke or sarcastic?" Her most recent non-PR Instagram post was about their dog passing away, with a photo of him and the dog, all typed in "we". That's much more intimate than whatever she's been doing for press."
Meanwhile, a fourth mentioned, "YIKES. Jason was really cute on The Magicians and had a pivotal recurring role with Rachel in the final seasons of The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel. He always looks so lovingly at her on the red carpet, but it's also true she's on a meteoric rise lately, while he hasn't done a whole lot of visible work in the past few years. :/ I am really hoping he liked that comment accidentally."

Rachel Brosnahan's on-screen chemistry with David Corenswet
The Superman duo had tongues wagging thanks to their undeniable chemistry during the press tour. While such antics aren't unusual for promoting a movie, their rumoured closeness sparked a social media debate over how far actors—especially married ones—should go to sell a film.
Brosnahan is known for her natural chemistry with co-stars—Luke Kirby in The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, Oscar Isaac on Broadway, and now Corenswet in Superman. It could very well be her professional ethics and a hallmark of her talent, not a reflection of her private life; however, when has that stopped the interent from speculating?
For the unversed, Ralph and Brosnahan met on the set of I'm Obsessed With You in 2013, started dating in 2015, and secretly married in 2016. Their relationship has largely stayed out of the spotlight, making this Instagram moment all the more sensational. For context, Corenswet has been married to Julia Warner since 2023 and is a father.

After Mrunal Thakur, Kareena Kapoor gets trolled for old interviews throwing shade at celebs: ‘Real life Poo'
Bollywood actor Mrunal Thakur, recently seen opposite Ajay Devgn in Son of Sardaar 2, has been making headlines due to an old video which resurfaced on the internet. In this viral clip, shot years ago, Mrunal trolled Bipasha Basu for her 'muscles' and called herself 'far better'. After backlash from netizens, Mrunal apologised for the same last night. Well, another Bollywood beauty is now being slammed on social media. We are talking about the OG diva Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is being accused of allegedly throwing shade at her fellow celebs in old interviews. Kareena Kapoor Khan In a viral Reddit thread, snippets of Kareena Kapoor Khan's old interviews have been shared, calling her a 'mean girl'. After losing Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Devdas to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Bebo had called filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali a 'confused director' with no morals and principles. In another interview, Kareena claimed that Sridevi never had a historical hit. Talking about Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000) which marked Hrithik Roshan's debut, Kareena claimed that filmmaker Rakesh Roshan focused more on his son while his co-star Ameesha Patel had pimples and under-eye bags in some portions of the film. This was initially supposed to be Kareena's first film, but she had walked out of it. Apart from this, Kareena had called Salman Khan a 'bad actor'. In another interview, she had claimed 'being fat is not sexy'. Well, netizens are now having a field day trolling Bebo. One such internet user stated, 'Pooh in real life!,' whereas another wrote, 'I always point that out. Her fans pass her mean behaviour as "Sassy" and call her real life "Poo" as if it's an achievement 🙄.' A comment read, 'Man was this woman unfiltered. Haughty she may have been but she gave film magazine readers their money's worth,' whereas a netizen stated, 'Thank god she started at a time when celebrities weren't crucified for singular statements on social media. 🤣 But yes, she could use some diplomacy. SRK could teach her.' A social media user lashed out, 'I swear she has forever been mean. I don't know what's iconic about that. Being disrespectful is not cool.' In your opinion, is it fair to judge celebrities on statements they made in the past, after so many years have passed?

Hailey Bieber brings polka dots back in fashion; ways to style this iconic print
Polka dots are a timeless trend, and can be worn on any occasion. A hit among Bollywood stars in the late 1970s-1980s, the pattern remains a favourite among new-age actors. And with the unofficial queen of social media, Hailey Bieber, flaunting polka dots in her latest Instagram photo dump, how could the trend not have made a comeback? Let's delve into the history of polka dots and learn about the various ways you can style this classic fashion statement: Notably, the earliest known mention of the term 'polka dot' was made in Godey's Lady's Book in 1857. Before this, the dotted pattern was referred to as quinconce or dotted Swiss. Subsequently, during the Industrial Revolution, sewing machines made the circular pattern possible because, before this, hand-sewing led to imperfectly rounded circles, creating a blotchy pattern. The first time the trend came into the modern era was when the first Native American woman to be crowned Miss America, Norma Smallwood, wore a polka dot swimsuit in 1926. Soon, Walt Disney jumped on the bandwagon and redesigned Minnie Mouse's dress with polka dots in the 1940s. Whether you like to go bold and make a statement with larger-than-life dots scattered all over the fabric, or keep it minimal and lowkey with tiny circles, there's a version of polka for everyone. Britney Spears' love for polka can be seen in her dotted hot pink swimsuits and sheer bodycon dresses. From Julia Roberts to Cameron Diaz, Hollywood A-listers have gravitated towards the simple dots to elevate an otherwise simple ensemble and pay tribute to retro fashion. A post shared by XILA MARIA RIVER RED (@britneyspears) The Royal family also has a deep connection with polka dots. Back in 1988, during the Royal Ascot, Princess Diana had looked ravishing in a brown and white polka dot Alessandra Rich dress, a look that was recreated 34 years later by her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton. The young Royal chose a Victor Edelstein white and polka outfit and paired it with a matching dotted hat and pearl jewellery. A Sall-Ann Provan hat featuring floral accents sat atop her head. Column dresses with polka dots in contrasting shades and colours give your look vibrancy, and the right accessories give your look just the right edge. Take inspiration from Hailey Bieber, whose white summer dress with red dots all over, dewy skin and blushed-up cheeks help her ace the perfect strawberry girl look. Back in the day, Dimple Kapadia's polka dot co-ord from Bobby (1973) made her an instant style icon. A polka dot knotted blouse and matching black made for a simple, breezy outfit that soon went on to become a nostalgic reference for retro fashion enthusiasts. If you find co-ords too much, choose either the top or bottom half of your outfit to carry the polka dot print. For the other half, opt for a simple, solid coloured piece for optimal contrast. Waist cinching belts break the monotony, while textured fabrics such as lace and frill add character to the look. A bold lip, dramatic winged eyeliner or retro accessories such as headbands and scarves can help seal the deal. Commonly seen in children's clothing, bathing suits, and lingerie, this playful print is seeing a resurgence with some of the major celebrities donning this trend. Recently, pop star Britney Spears also expressed her love for polka dots on social media. Read here to find out her thoughts on this iconic fashion staple.
