Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson breaks silence on divorce as she addresses 'major change' in life
Quinta Brunson has insisted that she "didn't announce" her divorce. The 35-year-old actress married Kevin Jay Anik in 2022, and it emerged via public records earlier this year that she had filed for divorce but she has insisted that no one famous actually wants others to know when something happens in their personal life. She told Bustle: 'I remember seeing people be like, 'She announced her divorce.' "I didn't announce anything. I think people have this idea that people in the public eye want the public to know their every move. None of us do. I promise you. No one wants [everyone] to know when you buy a house, when you move, when a major change happens in your personal life. It's just that that's public record information.' The Abbott Elementary star initially felt the need to present herself in a "certain way" once she found success with her Emmy Award-winning TV series and felt pressure to avoid doing things like changing her appearance, but then found it "very liberating" to stop thinking like that. She said: "When Abbott started, it felt like, 'OK, I'm quite public now, and I'm responsible for so many people. I need to be consistent. I need to show up a certain way. I need to be reliable. "I got it in my head that that's a bad sign "You can't cut your hair, you can't pierce your nose, you can't get a tattoo. It's going to give, 'You don't know who you are.' "Those are invisible voices that aren't in your home with you, that aren't in your personal life, that aren't your friends. s 'I love my fans, I love the people who watch Abbott. So you want to hear them, and you want to listen to them, but when it comes to matters of your personal life and decisions you make, you do have to tune it out. "When I finally cut it off, there was something very liberating about it. "You can still change and evolve and start over. Cutting my hair helped remind me that I am an artist first. I want to feel things. I want to do things. I want to make choices. I want to be a person, and not just stuck in having to be a certain way for business."

Singer Addison Rae's Makeup-Free Press Tour Is Causing a Stir on Social Media
Addison Rae is no stranger to the spotlight, having gained a huge fanbase through her TikTok dance videos in 2019. In recent years, though her following stands at a whopping 88.5M, the influencer slowed her activity on the platform that made me famous. Instead, she's shifted her focus to acting and music, releasing singles like 'Diet Pepsi' and 'Aquamarine,' and even popping up on the soundtrack of the summer in 2024 with Charli XCX's Brat on the track 'Von Dutch.' Addison is now back in the public eye with her self-titled debut album, Addison, which gives fans a glimpse into her journey growing up in the public eye and navigating the challenges of fame. The 24-year-old, who is currently traveling across the U.S. on a press tour, has been receiving praise from fans who can't help but notice that something is missing from the typical pop star aesthetic—and that's the absence of makeup. For a non-famous person, this would not be newsworthy. But for one of the world's most recognizable social media figures—and celebrities, in general—it is notable to be seen and photographed making major public appearances without a full face of base, blush, and beyond. ScreenshotHQ shared their commentary on the conversation surrounding Rae's minimalist look, noting 'how harshly women in these industries get judged on their appearances' and captioning a TikTok on the topic, 'Bare-faced looks are all the rage right now and it's an empowering message to other pop queens that no make-up might just be the way forward.' Others on the platform, too, have praised the singer's decision to skip the heavy base, big lashes, and intense contouring often seen as synonymous with influencer culture. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SCREENSHOT (@screenshothq) It may not break the same societal boundaries as, say, 57-year-old Pamela Anderson going completely makeup-free on red carpets and magazine covers, but Rae's decision to skip the glam squad is making waves in the news and on social media nonetheless, with some comparing the singer to an iconic pop star. 'The next Britney Spears,' one commenter wrote on Rae's most recent TikTok. In 2020, the singer took Vogue through her 16-step routine, which featured notably few makeup products. ('Maybe my staple look is just a really blushy cheek and really pink lips!') That year, Rae also launched Item Beauty, a line of vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics. The brand, aimed at accentuating one's natural features, aligned with the star's longtime embrace of soft, girl-next-door glamour, though her red-carpet style featured the occasional bold look, like the glittering lids she wore to coordinate with her 2022 Met Gala gown. Pop music has undoubtedly seen artists with more dramatic aesthetics dominate the charts in the past year. Sabrina Carpenter's glamorous, old Hollywood-inspired looks, Tate McRae's sporty-chic fashion, and Chappell Roan's drag-influenced style have all been at the forefront of online conversation. Still, unlike decades past when top stars tended to follow similar trends, there's room for everyone in 2025, and Addison's minimal-makeup approach—a testament to the same vulnerable and raw style she expresses in her lyrics—is adding something new to the mix.
