Walton Goggins Tearfully Explains Why He Unfollowed Aimee Lou Wood on Instagram
Walton Goggins is finally explaining the great mystery of our time: Why the actor unfollowed his White Lotus season three co-star Aimee Lou Wood on Instagram after the finale aired. Or, at least, Goggins is giving a detailed reason as to why he did it. Readers can judge for themselves — and most assuredly will — as to whether there's more to the story. The duo have been on the receiving end of feud rumors, while their co-star, Jason Isaacs, has heavily hinted at on-set drama, without naming names ('There were alliances that formed and broke, romances that formed and broke, friendships that formed and broke,' Isaacs told The Guardian. 'It's a long period of time for people to be away from their family with an open bar and all the wildness being in Thailand allows'). More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Lilo & Stitch' Live-Action Remake Ignites Debate Over "Harmful" Changes to Original's Story Documentary About Blackpink's Lisa in Production Mike White, the Guy Behind the Most Prestigious Prestige TV Series, Can't Stop Doing Reality Shows Now Goggins and Wood — who played doomed lovers Rick and Chelsea on the HBO anthology hit — seemed ready to clear up any such gossip as awards season gets underway. During a new interview with Variety, Goggins and Wood tackled the Instagram controversy head on. But first, they 'embraced for 30 seconds' (which somebody apparently timed) and repeatedly held hands and exchanged compliments during the joint interview ('You have the most beautiful smile in the world, you know that,' Goggins told her). 'There is no feud,' Goggins declared. 'I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be … She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' As for The Unfollowing, Wood said, 'Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram … Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing.' Goggins said he was ready to 'put this to bed.' He first said that he tends to do a firm goodbye when leaving projects. 'When I left Justified … I didn't talk to [Timothy Olyphant] for almost two years,' he said. 'I've done that with every single thing that I've done.' Then Goggins noted his real-life history with Thailand, which he's discussed previously. The actor first visited the country while grieving his wife's 2004 suicide and then his time on the White Lotus coincidentally returned him to the same location. 'My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place,' the actor explained while 'beginning to cry.' 'I knew what [Wood and I] had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea. And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, 'This is what I've gotta do.' And she was extremely supportive about that.' Added Goggins: 'I needed to just back away from everyone. I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a fuck what you think. This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this.' But then, Goggins reportedly picked up his phone and re-followed Wood on Instagram. '[It was] just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for fucking ever,' he added.

What's a Labubu and why do I need one? Everything to know about the viral stuffed toy that has people talking.
Take a quick scroll through your social media feed, and chances are you'll come across a furry, fluffy, stuffed monster with devious eyes and a wide, toothy smile hanging proudly from a luxury handbag. In a matter of months, this mischievous critter — known as a Labubu — has exploded in online popularity, becoming one of the world's most coveted bag charms. So what's with the fascination? Why are these creepy-looking collectibles the hottest accessory of the season? With a stamp of approval from A-listers like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa, a Labubu is a 'blind box' toy manufactured by Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company. A blind box toy is a collectible figure sold at random in a sealed box, so the buyer has no idea what they're getting. The Labubu was introduced in the 2015 children's picture book, The Monsters Trilogy, which was created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung. Lung drew inspiration from Nordic mythology when crafting these monsters, setting his trio of picture books in a mystical world occupied by magical creatures. Lung signed a deal with Pop Mart in 2019 to put his characters into production as collectible figures. Labubus were eventually turned into bag charms in 2023 with the 'Exciting Macaron' collection, which features six pastel-colored plushies from Pop Mart's 'The Monsters' collection. But Labubu isn't the only creature from Lung's books that has been turned into plushies and charms — there's also Zimono, who has a tail and is bigger than Labubu, and Mokoko, who is pink and has a heart-shaped nose. Labubu, who is canonically female, is described by Pop Mart as being 'a small monster with high, pointed ears and serrated teeth' that is 'kind-hearted and always wants to help, but often accidentally achieves the opposite.' While TikTok has definitely taken the Labubu craze to the next level, the furry critters were originally popularized by Blackpink and White Lotus star Lisa. An early adoptee of the Labubu craze, the 'Rockstar' singer first shared photos of herself with a Labubu in April 2024, later decorating her Christmas tree with several of them. 'I just got into Pop Mart like early this year, and I learned about this from one of my close friends in Thailand,' Lisa told Vanity Fair in November 2024. 'I go [to] Pop Mart everywhere. If I fly to New York, I go to Miami, I try to find Pop Mart there. Paris, you know, everywhere. [It's] kind of like treasure, finding treasure.' Rihanna has since been spotted at a private L.A. airport with a pink Labubu clipped to her Louis Vuitton Speedy in February. David Beckham, who was gifted a brown Labubu from his daughter Harper Beckham, was seen toting the plushie around on his black leather bag in May. Chris Evans, while promoting his upcoming film Materialists in June, was also seen unboxing a Labubu during a premiere. Bethenny Frankel has even gotten in on the craze — The Real Housewives of New York City alum debuted her pink Labubu, dressed in head-to-toe Chanel, on June 9. Lipa, who's made her love for Labubus known, was spotted with one on her Birkin bag at JFK Airport in New York City last December. Kardashian, meanwhile, has an extensive Labubu collection, which she's shared on Instagram. More than 300 Labubu variants have been released, which include collections like 'Fall in Wild,' 'Have a Seat' and 'Big Into Energy.' Pop Mart has even collaborated with brands like Coca-Cola and Uniqlo to create their own collection of Labubus. In addition to introducing new types of Labubus in each series, there's often a rare, 'secret' figure that's made available too. 'Every collection, they have like the rare one,' Lisa told Vanity Fair in November 2024. 'It's really hard to get. We call them 'secret.' So I always wish that I got secret.' Some Labubu aficionados also dress their critters up in branded clothing to better distinguish 'what kind of girl' she is. Labubus have been seen wearing a slew of designer garments, from Alo Yoga and Prada to Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu. Unfortunately, nabbing one of these coveted creatures is easier said than done. While Pop Mart does weekly restocks of their Labubu collections — online on Thursdays and in store on Fridays — they sell out immediately. Resellers are often your best bet for nabbing one of these stuffed toys, though prices can reach up to $7,000 for limited editions — a far cry from the Pop Mart retail price of around $32 per blind box. Fake Labubus, otherwise known as 'Lafufus' are popping up en masse as a result. Independent doll designers like August Dahl are also selling handmade, one-of-a-kind 'Bratzbubus' — a take on the Labubu doll craze using Bratz doll heads. Because of how coveted they are, Labubu theft has also become a growing concern. Thieves in Hempstead, Hertfordshire, in the U.K. raided a vehicle carrying more than $203,000 in Pop Mart products in April of this year. Labubus are also being snatched directly off people's purses. The Labubu craze has even gone so far as to incite full-on mobs and brawls at some Pop Mart locations. In an effort to 'prevent any potential safety issues,' in May, Pop Mart chose to stop selling Labubus in all 16 of their U.K. stores until June, following increased reports of customers fighting one another for them. 'Labubu will return to physical stores in June, and we are currently working on a new release mechanism that is better structured and more equitable for everyone involved,' the manufacturer told the BBC last month. Those in pursuit of the plushie in the U.K., however, are still awaiting its return, both online and in stores.
