Renee Rapp Disses The Sex Lives Of College Girls
Obviously, you know Reneé Rapp. (You are, after all, a BuzzFeed reader.)
You're also probably more than aware that she left the HBO Max show The Sex Lives of College Girls ahead of its third and final season — and that she didn't exactly love her time on the show.
Back in 2023, she told Call Her Daddy that filming the show's first season was "terrible" as she was coming out as bisexual. "I'm on a show [where] there are a lot of men around," she recalled. "There are a lot of gay men around. There are a lot of straight men around. There are a lot of older men around me on set. So I'm going through set, doing these scenes, and I'm also having gay men come up to me and be like, 'So are you, like, really gay?' I was like, 'Ugh!'...It really fucking pissed me off, and it made me second-guess everything about myself."
The following year, she told Vanity Fair that 'The people in my life that I work with now care about me as a person, and I think that is a difference from things I've experienced in the past' — a seeming allusion to her time on The Sex Lives of College Girls.
You are also most likely aware that Reneé has a fairly successful music career. Her new album, Bite Me, comes out August 1 — and the first single "Leave Me Alone" just dropped, like, a few hours ago.
Let's take a look at some of the lyrics for a moment. Here we go: "Sign a hundred NDAs but I still say something/ Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun/ I took my sex life with me, now the show ain't fucking."
Hmm. HMM! Hm. Do we think that is a direct reference to The Sex Lives of College Girls? Probably, possibly, and maybe definitely — especially since you consider that the show was recently canceled after the third season and has since failed to find a new home.
Given that Reneé is notoriously outspoken (and, to be clear, adored for it), I'm certain we'll be getting the full story sooner or later.

Hailey Bieber's Net Worth Revealed Amid Reports ‘Broke' Justin Is Close to ‘Financial Collapse'
With two famous last names, it's understandable why fans want to know about Hailey Bieber's net worth and how much she makes compared to her husband, Justin Bieber. Hailey was born as Hailey Rhode Baldwin in Tuscon, Arizona, on November 22, 1996. Her father, Stephen Baldwin, is an actor and the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, which also include her uncles Alec, Daniel and Billy Baldwin. Herm other, Kennya Deodato, is a graphic designer. Hailey's modeling career started as a teenager after she was signed to her first modeling agency, Ford Models, and appeared in magazines like Tatler, LOVE, V and i-D. Her first commercial campaign was for French Connection in 2014. That same year, she also made her runway debut, walking for the brand Top Shop. Since then, Hailey has modeled for brands like Guess, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. More from StyleCaster Justin Bieber Just Shared a Cryptic Post About 'Loyalty' After Rumors He & 'Not Happy' Hailey Are 'Getting Divorced' Hailey Bieber's Latest Move Speaks Volumes About Her Marriage With Justin Bieber After He Felt 'So Disrespected' by His Wife Hailey and her husband, singer Justin Bieber, married on September 13, 2018, after three years of on-again, off-again dating. 'I'm not going to sit here and lie and say it's all a magical fantasy,' Hailey told Vogue in 2019 about her marriage to Justin. 'It's always going to be hard. It's a choice. You don't feel it every single day. You don't wake up every day saying, 'I'm absolutely so in love and you are perfect.' That's not what being married is. But there's something beautiful about it anyway—about wanting to fight for something, commit to building with someone.' In an interview with the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast in 2022, Hailey responded to rumors she dated Justin at the same time he dated her ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. 'When him and I ever started, like, hooking up or anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship ever — at any point,' she explained. 'I'm not interested in doing that and I never was. … I can say — period, point blank — I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody,' Hailey said. She continued, 'It's not my character to mess with someone's relationship.' Hailey added that she could 'understand' how her and Justin's relationship could look different 'from the outside.' She continued, 'That was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door. They were not in a relationship at that time, but of course, there's a very long history there. … It has nothing to do with me. I know that it closed a chapter and I think it was the best thing that could have happened for him to move on and be engaged and get married and move on with his life in that way.' But back to Hailey Bieber's net worth. So…how much is Hailey Bieber's net worth and how much does she make from Rhode Skin and other business opportunities? Read on for what we know about Hailey Bieber's net worth and how much she makes now. Hailey Bieber launched her skin care brand, Rhode Skin (which is named after her middle name, Rhode), in 2022 as a clean, affordable skin care line with its first products all under $30. 'My journey towards healthier skin inspired me to develop products that really work, in a way that's accessible to everyone. Rhode is dedicated to making products based in science and great formulation, simplifying many of the mysteries and complex narratives behind efficacious skincare. I hope these will become your go-to essentials that can live in your bathroom, be your favorite travel companion, improve your skin over time, and keep your skin happy and hydrated,' Hailey wrote in Rhode Skin's about page. So how much is Rhode Skin worth? Hailey told Forbes in 2022 that Rhode Skin was 'on track' to hit eight figures, though she declined to give specific numbers. Forbes also reported that Rhode Skin had a waitlist of more than 700,000 people for each of its three first products—Peptide Glazing Fluid; Peptide Lip Treatment; and Barrier Restore Cream—and that the brand's most recent restock at the time saw products sell at a rate of 36 units per second. 'When I run out of my Peptide Glazing Fluid, my skin, like, misses it,' Hailey told Forbes. 'That was how I realized that it was a solid product, because when I run out of my samples, my skin doesn't feel the same without it.' In May 2025, Hailey sold Rhode to e.l.f Beauty for $1 billion. 'When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing for me is to keep brinring rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' Hailey wrote in an Instagram post at the time. 'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty … a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do.' She continued, 'I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of rhode as well as strategic advisor to e.l.f Beauty. Thank you to the amazing rhode team who have helped me build over the years. I couldn't have done it without all of you. And to our rhode community, thank you for being the most supportive and for being on this journey, this next chapter is going to be even more incredible together.' According to Forbes, Hailey's billion-dollar deal with e.l.f. Beauty broke down to $600 million in cash, $200 million of e.l.f. Beauty stock, and a potential $200 million in future payouts based on the company's growth over the next three years.' Justin reacted to the news by resharing Hailey's post on his own Instagram Story. The news also came after a source told The Hollywood Reporter in April 2025 that Justin was suffering financially. TMZ also made similar claims at the time, reporting that Justin is 'broke' and sold his music catalogue for $200 million in 2022 because he was on the verge of 'financial collapse. A representative for Bieber denied the allegations in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. 'Any source that is trying to sell you a story about alleged financial distress … either doesn't understand the entertainment industry or, more likely, is trying to paint an unflattering portrait of Justin, which bears no resemblance to reality,' the statement read. Following Rhode's deal, fans told Hailey to divorce Justin to protect her money. 'Just a casual Hailey Bieber observer but she needs to take that $1B money and run from that man,' a user wrote. Another added, 'HAILEY GET THAT DIVORCE NOW BEFORE JUSTIN STEALS THAT MONEY.' In her 2022 interview with Forbes, Hailey also explained her 'fear' that she wouldn't be taken 'seriously' because of who her husband and family are. 'The thing that was on my mind was the fear of not being taken very seriously,' she said. 'Does anybody even take me seriously, as a founder, as an entrepreneur?' Michael D. Ratner, a founding partner of Rhode Skin, added, 'It's a really big gamble. When you're Hailey, you could be the face of a brand. You could continue with no risk and get that cash in your pocket. She went into skincare because that's her first real love.' Ratner also confirmed that Hailey invested a lot of her own money into Rhode Skin. (She declined to tell Forbes the exact amount she invested.) 'She wants to do it the right way and really build up the team,' Ratner said. 'I think she wanted real ownership,' he said. 'She put in a real portion of money to back this thing, and to show people that she was serious and all-in on it.' (Rhode declined to comment on exactly how much money Bieber has invested.) She continued, 'I think it would be very easy for me to just approve something that's 95% perfect and just be okay with the 95 instead of waiting for it to be 100 percent. What I'm learning is that the quality of this brand is really, really important to me.' Hailey also explained to Forbes that she chose to name her brand Rhode, which was passed down to her from her mother's side of the family, because she her middle name was lesser-known versus her married name, Bieber, or maiden name, Baldwin. 'It just sounded so strong, and beautiful on its own,' she said. She told Forbes that her goal was to create a brand that was around for 20 to 40 years and was known for its products, not who its found was. 'I think it would be really awesome,' she said. 'If people just love the brand because they love the product.' At the Forbes Under 30 Summit in 2022, Hailey also explained why she wanted to create a brand of her own. 'I've lent money, my name and my face to other people's creative process,' she said. 'I think that actually has helped me develop mine in a lot of ways. It feels very empowering to be the one that's in charge.' Hailey Bieber's net worth is $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In comparison, Hailey's husband Justin Bieber's net worth is $200 million, while his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez's net worth is $1 billion. Hailey's father Stephen Baldwin's net worth is $1 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Along with what she's made from Rhode Skin, Hailey Bieber's net worth also includes what she's made from her modeling career, including campaigns with brands like French Connection, Guess, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Moschino. Hailey Bieber's net worth also includes her hosting careers for shows like TBS' Drop the Mic, which she hosted from 2017 to 2019, and the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which she hosted in 2018. Hailey Bieber's net worth also includes her acting career in music videos for artists like Cody Simpson, Baptiste Giabiconi, Dan + Shay, Ariana Grande, DJ Khaled, Drake and her husband, Justin Bieber. In an interview with Vogue Australia in 2019, Hailey opened up about her modeling career, and why it hadn't been as successful as her friends like Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. 'My burn in the modeling industry has been slow, and I've had to learn to be OK with that,' she said. 'I'm shorter than most of the girls. Even though I'm five foot eight [inches], I'm not a runway girl and I totally used to feel inferior to some of my friends. Look at Kendall and Bells and Gig…they're all tall and doing every runway.' She continued, 'For a while, there was a part of me that didn't know if I could have the career I wanted if I couldn't do runway. I don't think that anymore. I had so many people, like casting directors, say, 'We don't think she's a real model.'' Hailey explained to Vogue Australia about how she eventually 'found' her 'own lane' with catalogue versus runway. 'It was disappointing until I found my own lane. I don't look short in photos. You can make it work and not have to do runway, and I've done a good job with that,' she said. 'I'm proud of myself for building a more commercial career that worked for me and being confident about it. I've hosted a show, I did major American campaigns, and a bunch of other things that I've really enjoyed. Sometimes I feel like I'm still finding my lane, but now I know I'm going in the right direction.' Along with Rhode Skin, Hailey also told Vogue Australia at the time that she plans to launch her own fashion line with her husband, Justin Bieber. 'I couldn't register it myself, because Justin owns all trademarking for his last name,' she said. 'Honestly, that was more about being proactive. I'm not sure how I want to dip into that space, and it's been a conversation between me and my husband.'

Why Brooklyn And Nicola Missed David Beckham 50th Party
Last month, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham caused a huge stir for skipping David Beckham's 50th birthday party. David turned 50 on May 2 and celebrated with not one, but three birthday celebrations. According to photos he and Victoria shared online, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't appear to attend any of them. At the time, a source told People, "There are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family," but they stopped short of disclosing the exact issue. "The relationship is definitely not beyond repair," the source added. "They love and are always there for [Brooklyn]. They're just hurt and disappointed that he's now playing no part in family life." Well, now, more alleged details about their absence have been revealed, with a source telling People it had to do with Kim Turnbull, a model and DJ who has been linked to Brooklyn and is currently dating his brother, Romeo. The source said, "Brooklyn didn't want to be in the same room as her, and he told his dad that. But David opted to have Kim there over Nicola." While some have claimed that Brooklyn and Kim never dated, including Brooklyn's younger brother Cruz himself, another source told People, "Brooklyn and Kim know each other from the past, and his family knows he's not comfortable around her." As it was his father's birthday, Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly still tried to go to London to celebrate with David – but in People's words, the couple was "shut out." "They stayed for six days trying to see him," a source said. Reps for the Beckhams didn't return BuzzFeed's past requests for comment, but it comes after years of feud rumors between Brooklyn and Nicola and the rest of the Beckham family, dating back to when Brooklyn and Nicola were about to wed. At the time, it was rumored that Nicola and Victoria had clashed over Nicola's wedding dress, which the model denied, but a source refuted. "When Nicola and Brooklyn got engaged, Victoria told Nicola that she'd love to make her wedding dress, and Nicola said it would be her honor, that she would love to wear one of her originals," a source told People in a report published last week, claiming that it fell apart because Victoria wasn't prioritizing the dress. "Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding," the source said, even though "she'd gone to a ton of Victoria Beckham fashion shows and events in Victoria's clothing. She even wore Victoria Beckham to her [2024] Lola movie premiere." Unfortunately, the alleged drama only continued at the pair's 2022 wedding, where Brooklyn and Nicola were reportedly supposed to share a dance. "Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding," a source told People. "Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on Beckham!'" According to the source, the "jaw-dropping" moment caused "Nicola [to] run from the room crying." "Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola," the source shared. "What she couldn't understand was why."

Russell Simmons Sues HBO for $20 Million Over ‘On the Record' Documentary
Russell Simmons is suing HBO and the filmmakers behind the 'On the Record' documentary for $20 million, alleging they defamed him and ignored evidence that supported his version of events. The documentary, by Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick, centered on sexual assault and misconduct allegations against the hip-hop mogul from numerous women. It was distributed by HBO Max in 2020. More from Variety Elijah Wood, Moses Ingram, Lauren Holt, Josh Brener Join Rachel Sennott's HBO Comedy Series 'Mountainhead' Stars Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith Unpack Their Twisted Tech Bromance and Comparisons to Musk, Zuckerberg and 'Succession' Everything We Know About HBO's 'Harry Potter' Series Simmons' lawyer, Imran Ansari, filed a summons in civil court in Manhattan on Tuesday, alleging that the filmmakers 'disregard and/or suppressed' information provided by Simmons' representatives. 'Despite voluminous support for Mr. Simmons in the form of credible information, persuasive evidence, witness statements, and calls for further investigation by notable members of the media, politics, and the civil rights movement, the defendants simply disregarded it, and released, and continue to re-release globally, a film that tremendously disparaged and damaged Mr. Simmons with salacious and defamatory accusations that he vehemently denies,' Ansari and co-counsel Carla DiMare said in a written statement. The statute of limitations for defamation actions in New York is one year from the date of first publication. To prevail, Simmons will have to show that HBO is liable for more recent 'republication' in international markets. The film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020, and was initially intended for Apple TV+ as part of Oprah Winfrey's deal with the streamer. However, Winfrey withdrew from the project, and the film ended up at HBO Max. According to the filing, Simmons' representatives lobbied HBO leaders at the time, including Casey Bloys and WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey, to no avail. 'Defendants were requested to review this evidence and information by multiple luminaries in media and politics, including but not limited to, civil rights leaders and members of Congress, and other high-profile black leaders; and board members within the Defendant corporation(s) itself,' the filing states. The filing seeks 'immediate removal' of the documentary from HBO's platforms, as well as at least $20 million in damages. Simmons has faced several sexual misconduct lawsuits, including from some of those who appeared in the documentary. In November 2023, he reached a confidential settlement with Sil Lai Abrams, who was among those interviewed, for $1,265,000, according to a court filing last year. In all, more than 20 women have accused him of sexual assault. Ansari is a partner at Aidala, Bertuna & Kamins, the New York law firm currently representing Harvey Weinstein in his criminal retrial.
