‘Modern Love' Podcast: How Orville Peck Got Addicted to Love and Came Out the Other Side
'That's the beautiful thing about art, it releases an emotion that we're yearning for. It's all yearning.'
If you know one thing about the country musician Orville Peck, it's probably that he wears a mask. Peck has long kept himself shrouded in mystery, shielding his face from the public and revealing few details about his past. His music, however, is full of emotional honesty and vulnerability — he told the Modern Love podcast that most of his lyrics are about his life — and his songs are imbued with a deep sense of longing.
In this episode, Peck talks about why country music uniquely captures our complicated feelings about love, and why love and pain are so often intertwined. He reads a Modern Love essay, 'Strung Out on Love and Checked In for Treatment' by Rachel Yoder, about love addiction, and discusses what it takes to pull yourself from its distressing grip.

TikTok's biggest star was detained by ICE, with help from another influencer
Khaby Lame, one of the world's top TikTok creators, was recently detained by U.S. immigration officials in Las Vegas and has since left the country, The New York Times reports. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Lame, an Italian-Senegalese influencer known for his silent, deadpan reactions to viral clips, overstayed the terms of his visa after arriving in April. He was reportedly granted voluntary departure and is now abroad. The situation grabbed headlines after a teenage influencer, Bo Loudon, boasted on X that he flagged Lame's immigration status to authorities. Loudon, who often posts political content, said he reached out to contacts to report it. Lame, 25, has built a massive global following — and a string of lucrative brand deals — after he reportedly lost his job during the pandemic. In addition to partnering with big names like Hugo Boss, he has also appeared — very briefly — in a Hollywood movie, and starred in a three-part travel series about his time in the U.S. He hasn't publicly addressed the incident as of this writing.

Elizabeth Paton to Succeed Lauren Indvik as FT's Fashion Editor
Change is coming to the fashion desk at The Financial Times. Elizabeth Paton, who was most recently international styles correspondent at The New York Times, will succeed Lauren Indvik as the FT's fashion editor, starting in August. The move is something of a homecoming for Paton, who worked at the FT from 2011 to 2015 under then fashion editor Vanessa Friedman before joining Friedman at the Times. Alongside fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris, Paton has covered topics ranging from the British royal family and the bursting of the luxury e-commerce bubble to sweatshop labour in fashion's supply chains and how fashion fits into Qatar's soft power strategy. At the FT, Paton will oversee the newspaper's fashion and style coverage, as well as curating its annual Business of Luxury Summit. 'I look forward to giving the global fashion and luxury industry scrutiny and attention with coverage that gets to the heart of what is happening and why it matters,' she said. 'I won't be afraid to publish stories that elicit strong reactions and start big conversations. I want the coverage to be more fun and more serious.' Indvik will become deputy editor of the FT's house and home section. Disclosure: The Financial Times is part of a group of investors which, together, hold a minority interest in The Business of Fashion. All investors have signed shareholders' documentation guaranteeing BoF's complete editorial independence.

Justin Baldoni's Legal Team Breaks Silence After Defamation Dismissal Against Blake Lively
The legal team of Justin Baldoni called out Blake Lively on her premature celebration after the court dismissed his $400 million lawsuit. The case accused Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane of defamation, extortion, and interference. Here's what Baldoni's lawyer revealed about the ruling, which claims remain, and how they plan to continue the legal fight. Justin Baldoni's lawyer has confirmed that the actor-director will continue legal action against Blake Lively. A federal judge recently dismissed his $400 million defamation lawsuit. On June 10, Bryan Freedman stated, 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false,' adding that the court has allowed them to amend four of the seven dismissed claims, as per Variety. Freedman said, 'This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' He added, 'Most importantly, Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle.' On June 9, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's defamation claims against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and The New York Times. He ruled that California law protects sexual harassment allegations. The court gave Baldoni until June 23 to refile amended claims for contract interference and breach of the implied covenant. On June 9, Lively's legal team stated, 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it.' Attorneys Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb added, 'No amount of spin, bluster, or creative accounting from Baldoni's legal team will change the embarrassing reality… the plan to sue Blake Lively and her family into oblivion has been a complete and total failure.' Lively commented via Instagram about 'the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit' and emphasized support for women's rights groups. The trial is currently scheduled for March 2026.
