Love Island's Lucy finally admits truth over leaked voicenotes as she's confronted by Maya Jama
Love Island star Lucy Quinn has addressed the infamous voicenote that was leaked before she entered the ITV2 villa in which she seemingly laid out her plan to win. Lucy Quinn has finally addressed her viral voicenote following her exit from the Love Island villa. The makeup artist, 21, was dumped from the Island last week alongside Tommy Bradley but faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked. In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy - who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke - as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday's Aftersun. She explained: "So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent voice notes to friends and obviously, I really did trust that friend. So, with the Tommy situation, I was just saying that he's a very nice boy and, like, that's why I wanted to get to know him." Insisting that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win, she said: "I did say 'Til the end', but it weren't like, the final, obviously, I was meaning, like, I wanted to be with him in the future. Someone with really good morals and stuff like that. The Liverpudlian also used her airtime to insist that Tommy is a boy her father approved of, and profusely apologised to Megan, whom she had labelled a "f***king little slapper" but insisted she is not normally the type of person who would say that. She added: "And, also, before going on the show, my dad did say to me, like, 'He's the kind of boy I'd like you to bring home because he's just very respectful. And then, obviously, talking about Meghan as well, I should never have commented on someone who I've never met before. So I do really apologise about that, I'm actually not that type of girl. " Lucy claimed that the whole scandal has "been blown out of proportion" and that she didn't expect everyone to hear the voice note in the first place. In response, Maya told her: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that" and Lucy confirmed that she is no longer in contact with the person who leaked the voice note. In the original message, obtained by The Sun, Lucy is explained that her appearance on Love Island was likely to be happening within the next couple of days, and that she had been asked by producers to name her top three boys but only named Tommy. She said: "Because everyone loves him. I don't know if you've been watching it but that Megan's being sent home and I'm f**king made up. And she's being sent home because of the way she's treated Tommy. And do you know what, I'm made up that I've been watching it because I know how to act." Prior to Lucy's entrance into the villa, Megan, 24, herself entangled in a love triangle with Conor Philips despite being initially paired with Tommy Bradley, was seen locking lips with Conor on the terrace - later spilling to the other girls: "I kissed Conor on the terrace... I was like 'just f**king kiss me then... he was itching to do it." Following a dramatic confrontation, Tommy washed his hands of the romantic tug-of-war, leaving Conor free to pursue Megan - but fate had other plans as a surprise public vote saw her leave the villa soon after. In the days after her exit, Tommy became involved with Emily Moran before Lucy came on the scene Speaking candidly to Ode Entertainment post-villa life, Megan opened up about the tensions between herself, Tommy, and Conor, revealing an impulsive side she now regrets. On TikTok, the lass from Dublin divulged: "I wish I'd taken a breath", adding a frank admission: "You know when you hear something and you just see red, and I saw red for about four days." She lamented the poorly timed intervention by Conor, stating: "And then obviously while I was seeing red, Conor swooped in so it was just really bad timing. Of course, you only see the hour out of the 24." Confirming her and Tommy parted ways amicably, the musical theatre star stated: "When you see red like that, someone needs to sit you down and say like 'girl'." She elaborated: "I felt like the girls were seeing where I was coming from, so I think that's why I got more wound up."

Host Megyn Kelly blasts ‘vulgar' Charlize Theron for touting one-night stand: ‘It feels weird'
Megyn Kelly launched a blistering critique of Charlize Theron, calling the actress 'vulgar' and 'off-putting' for revealing that she recently had a one-night stand with a 26-year-old man. The former Fox News host, who was portrayed by Theron in the 2019 film Bombshell, questioned the actress' decision to reveal the details of her dalliance on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper. 'She decided to go on a podcast tour, for some reason, sat down with Call Her Daddy, the sex podcaster who interviewed Kamala Harris, all about how much they love abortions,' Kelly said during Friday's episode of her SiriusXM podcast The Megyn Kelly Show. 'And this is Charlize Theron trying to sound like [a] super cool girl, and I'm gonna let you decide for yourself whether that's what she accomplished …' Kelly added: 'She's 49 years old. She's trying to sound like she's 26 years old, and it's inappropriate. It feels weird. She's one of our biggest stars, that's true. Act like it … Have some class.' Later in the episode, Kelly implied that Theron may be misrepresenting her sexuality and exaggerating sexual encounters for attention. 'I kind of call bullsh*t, because I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women. That's my belief. OK, I'm entitled to my opinion, and there's no reason to get into the details as to why I believe it, but I believe it,' Kelly said. 'And I don't think that she's telling the truth about the 26-year-old.' Theron, who is currently promoting the upcoming Netflix film The Old Guard 2, told Cooper during their conversation: 'I did just recently f**k a 26-year-old, and it was really amazing … I've never done that. And I was like, 'Oh, this is great.' Women should be the ones that are like, 'F**k you, I'm going to have an orgasm.'' The Oscar-winning actress has previously addressed questions about her sexuality. In a 2017 appearance on the Bravo television show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Theron was asked if she had 'dipped in the lady pond'. 'When I was young, yes,' Theron told Cohen. At the time, she was promoting her film Atomic Blonde, a spy thriller in which she portrayed a bisexual MI6 agent who was operating in Berlin during the Cold War. 'I mean, it's just so not big deal. I'm so old school — I really like dudes,' Theron said at the time. Theron went on to clarify that while she explored her sexuality in the past, she identifies as heterosexual and has spoken out in support of bisexual visibility in film. Kelly also criticised the actress' use of profanity on Call Her Daddy, saying: 'I love a good F-bomb … But every sentence? An F-bomb? 'F in this, F in that, F in God,' what is that? This is like an affectation where she's trying to act like, again, young, cool girl, 'I get it, and I don't need a man.'' Theron, a single mother, also spoke on the podcast about the freedom she feels raising her two adopted daughters — Jackson and August — without a male partner. 'She's got two children. They don't need a father? She's super proud of the fact that there's no father in the picture? Great. Good for you,' Kelly remarked. 'It's a very strange thing to see one of our best known actresses sit down like that, with the crossed legs, with this sex podcaster, talking about their orgasms and who they f**ked. It's just really off-putting.' Theron adopted her eldest child, Jackson, in 2012, and her second daughter, August, in 2015. In 2019, Theron revealed that Jackson is transgender, telling media outlets that Jackson asserted her identity at age three. Theron, who has never married, has been candid about her dating life. She was in a long-term relationship with actor Stuart Townsend from 2001 to 2010, and later dated Sean Penn between 2013 and 2015. She has been romantically linked to several others, including Alexander Skarsgård, Gabriel Aubry and Alex Dimitrijevic. Though she is reportedly on the celebrity dating app Raya, she has expressed frustration with the experience, calling it disingenuous and tiresome. Reflecting on what she expects from relationships now, Theron told Cohen in a previous interview: 'You better bring your A-game. I won't settle for less than what I'm giving myself.' Kelly closed her segment by contrasting Theron's behaviour with other stars she views as more tasteful. 'You never see Julia Roberts do this kind of thing,' she said. 'She's on the opposite side of the aisle, that's fine, but she doesn't debase herself [or] her attention, because she's a true star.' Theron and Cooper have not publicly responded to Kelly's remarks.

From swipes to sparks: Charlize Theron dishes on dating apps and single life
Renowned actress Charlize Theron opened up about love and life during a recent appearance on the "Call her Daddy" podcast. Image: Instagram. In a recent episode of the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast, renowned actress Charlize Theron laid bare her thoughts on intimacy, dating and personal autonomy. The 49-year-old Oscar winner appeared on the podcast to promote her new film "The Old Guard 2". During the interview, she openly discussed that at this stage in her life, she is embracing her single status and having experiences she had previously missed out on in her younger years. Theron said her recent escapade, a one-night stand with a 26-year-old, left her exhilarated, describing it as "really f****** amazing". "I think I've had three one-night stands in my life. It's not my thing, but this one was just … I was in a different place," confessed the "Bombshell" actress. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading She continued to express a renewed confidence regarding her wants and boundaries, stating that she finally feels comfortable being single. "Marriage is a long-term commitment and I think I want a long-term commitment. I just don't need to get married," Theron clarified. Her stance on modern dating revealed her frustrations with the landscape of dating apps. She lambasted the exclusive dating platform Raya, labelling it a "f****** clown show", and highlighted her hate for clichés often seen in profiles, advising to stay clear of vague job titles, photos featuring exes, and typical "Burning Man" shots. Despite the challenging dating scene, Theron seems to have found a new pleasure in her sexual experiences: "I'm having the kind of sex I never had in my twenties or my thirties." Reflecting on her past relationships, she said that she often "lost herself" in them. "I used to be a person that would watch herself," she noted. During the podcast, Theron also revisited an incident of sexual harassment involving an unnamed director. She recounted how he allegedly attempted to make a move on her during a casting audition. She described being invited to the director's house under false pretences, only to be met with unwanted advances. He allegedly answered the door in pyjamas, then proceeded to "put his hand on my knee". She said that she immediately got up and left. Theron has never said the name of the director. "I don't want the story to be about him. It's not because I'm protecting him or anything ... He got nervous for a little bit. He heard me tell the story, and he knew it was about him, and he wrote me a pretend letter trying to explain his behaviour and how I must have misunderstood it, which is classic, isn't it? It's so classic." Theron continued to claim that the director "panicked" about her going public. 'I won't even f****** say your name because you know you're the scumbag. You know it's you," Theron said. "If anybody ever asked me about him, I would be completely honest and he knows that. I kind of like that he's got to be on a hot seat. He doesn't know when it's going to come. I kind of like that a little more." As the conversation unfolded, the single mother of two daughters, Jackson and August, said she maintains that the freedom to opt out of relationships that no longer serve her is paramount to her essence. Watch Theron's full interview on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast in the video below.
