Renee Rapp Criticizes Fan's Labubu Doll
Like on Friday, when she got really honest with a fan about what she thought of their Labubu doll.
Labubu, if you don't know, is a line of collectible monster toys designed by Chinese illustrator Kasing Lung. They're usually furry and colorful, with rabbit-like ears and jagged, mischievous smiles. They originated in Lung's 2015 series The Monsters, but surged in popularity this year, with many fans wearing them on their belts and bags.
Reneé was at a release party for her new album, Bite Me, when a fan approached her and asked her to sign their doll. Reneé looked visibly taken aback as the fan encouraged her to "just sign its face."
Taking the doll, Reneé said, "Bro. These are so fucking ugly." The fan laughed, "No, you love it." "I don't," Reneé replied, laughing.
Still, she signed the doll, and when the fan playfully apologized for interrupting her event, Reneé replied, "It's okay. It's nice to meet you." But she still couldn't get over the doll's odd appearance because she then repeated, "This shit is so ugly to me."
The clip of the moment quickly went viral online, with many praising Reneé's unfiltered comments — and echoing her thoughts. One Reddit user called her so "honest and real." Another confessed, "This kinda made me stan her."
"I appreciate how she made it clear she wasn't criticizing the person filming - just the doll itself," someone added, while another fan praised this "age of celebs being relatable with fans."
But not everyone enjoyed the exchange. Some viewers thought Renee's comments were a smidge rude. "i agree but she could've just signed it and moved on. she didn't need to make the person feel bad about something they were excited about," one critic said. Another added, "I mean… isn't that the whole point, that they're supposed to be ugly? It's still kinda rude to be so snarky about it to someone who clearly enjoys it…"
A third chimed in to say, "They ain't for me— I'm a lifelong Sanrio gal— but can't we just let people like what they like? I find it especially awkward to say something is ugly to the person who clearly loved it enough to buy it and carry it with them."
"People allergic to joy," someone else wrote. "If collecting them makes people happy, who cares what you think? Nobody judges people who collect Pokémon cards or Funko Pops. We're going through a hellish time right now. People are dying. Who cares what little toy people are obsessed with? Let people live."
And this last person didn't hold back on their thoughts at all, writing, "Theyre ugly, but idk why people bitch about others liking them. The world is burning let them have their ugly dolls."

Lady Gaga Declares That She Is a ‘Labubu' in Silly Pre-Mayhem Ball Show Video
Ra-ra-ah-ah-ah, roma-roma-ma, Gaga, ooh Labubu … Lady Gaga is getting in on a certain plushie craze. In a whimsical TikTok posted Friday (July 25), the pop superstar filmed herself seemingly getting ready backstage for a concert, all dressed up in one of her Mayhem Ball tour outfits. With her hair teased into the shape of two bunny ears — similar to those sported by the fuzzy little monster keychains you keep seeing attached to everyone's bags and purses — Gaga says in a silly, high-pitched voice, 'I'm a Labubu!' More from Billboard Forget Labubus: EXO's Chanyeol Just Shared an All-New Pop Mart Plushie Worth Splurging On Pantera Cancel Tour Dates to Mourn Ozzy Osbourne Ed Sheeran Expands 2026 Australia and New Zealand Tour 'Labubu!' she repeats before sticking her tongue out slightly at the camera. For those not yet in on the trend, Labubus are collectible dolls sold by Chinese brand Pop Mart. With sharp teeth and goblin-like faces peeking out of their variously colored fur suits, the toys are basically just portable little monsters — an especially fitting product for Gaga, considering the name of her fanbase. Mother Monster's funny video comes shortly after she finished the second of three Mayhem shows at San Francisco's Chase Center, at which she'll play one more concert on July 26. The Grammy winner's trek kicked off earlier in July with three performances in Las Vegas, and Gaga will continue touring through North America, Europe and Australia throughout the rest of 2025. The trek comes in support of Gaga's Mayhem album, which dropped this past May. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the project found the A Star Is Born actress returning to her dark dance-pop roots. 'Part of my personal mayhem is that it's fun, and that's why I keep doing it,' she told Billboard of the LP in a March interview. 'That's what makes it complicated — it is dark, and it pulls me away from myself, but it's also the best time. It's that point where you're at the party, and you're totally numbing out, and you've fully accepted that by the morning you are not going to feel well, but you're fully in it.'

My wife pulled a humiliating prank at our wedding — now I want to punch everyone in the face
He went under the bride's dress, and couldn't get over what happened next. A groom's big day turned into doomsday after his new wife and a few friends pulled a 'trashy' trick that 'destroyed' his trust in the marriage and left him 'humiliated.' 'Wife says I need to get over it, but I can't stop obsessing over a prank that ruined my wedding experience and left me furious,' groaned the gut-punched groom in an anonymous Reddit rant. The newlywed explained that the wedding planner convinced his bride and buddies to blindfold him for the garter belt toss. It's a risqué, controversial tradition during which the groom sexily removes an article of the bride's undergarments — with his hands, tongue or teeth — and throws it to a group of unmarried men for sport. But this guy's garter ordeal wasn't all fun and games. 'Sitting in the chair in place of my wife, my groomsman was in shorts with the garter around his thigh,' he whined. 'My wife stood behind him and was talking to me as they walked me over, to keep me fooled into thinking it was her.' 'On their instructions, I got down on my knees and began reaching for what I thought were my wife's legs,' continued the dope. 'Once I found the leg, I found the garter and began pulling it down. But at that moment, I heard my wife saying, 'With your mouth! With your mouth!' He had no clue they'd swapped his sweetheart for a dude. 'So I leaned forward and grasped the garter belt in my mouth, to the shrieks and applause of the crowd,' said the groom. 'With the garter in my teeth, I pulled it down his leg … Once I had the garter, they told me to stand up and take off my blindfold.' 'When I took off the blindfold, everyone burst into even louder laughter,' he recalled in misery. 'For a moment, the entire energy of everyone at the wedding was focused on nothing besides laughing at me, at me being the sole butt of the joke.' 'It felt awful.' And it seems awfully hard not to feel awful after being bamboozled during one of the biggest, most memorable moments of one's life. Be it the cake-smashing stunt or deliberately dunking the bride in a pool for a laugh, wedding day pranks often indicate glaring 'red flags' in the relationship. The garter-duped groom says the gag 'destroyed my trust and sense of intimacy' towards his wife. Committed to keeping spirits high during the nuptials, the embarrassed gent plastered a phony smile on his face for the duration of the reception party, 'sucking up' his shame. But once on their honeymoon, he hit his bride with the 'harsh' truth about the embarrassing hoax. 'After at first apologizing a bit, she got upset and left me sitting out there,' he confessed. 'I think I just kept going because I felt hurt and wanted to maybe make her feel bad as well, to be honest.' 'Since then, it's been a difficult subject,' added the wounded. 'I've told her I don't want to hear about the wedding. I don't want to write thank you notes, look at pictures. If it was tomorrow, I wouldn't make plans to celebrate our anniversary.' But she is not the object of the grudge-holding groom's ire. Wife says I need to get over it, but I can't stop obsessing over a prank that ruined my wedding experience and left me furious byu/JacksonRyder2025 inAITAH 'Watching the video, I find myself looking at the laughing faces of family and friends, and there's a part of me — that I'd never act on — that wants nothing more than to punch them all in their faces,' he said, also admitting that he now 'can't stand' the groomsmen who pretended to be the bride for the joke. 'I literally cannot stop my mind from replaying it over and over, and I get mad again every time,' the grump grumbled. 'I tell myself sometimes it was assault because I was tricked into putting my mouth on another man's leg [without] my consent.' A faction of social media sympathized agree with the groom's unyielding anger, urging him to seek therapy, consult a divorce attorney and consider suing the wedding planner for masterminding the mess. However, other, less compassionate commenters suggested the sulking sap 'wash the sand out of [his] vagina' and let it go, to which the tickled groom laughed, 'Ha. Fair play.'

Boyfriend slammed after what he did to soup made by girlfriend's mother: ‘Where are your manners'
A baffled boyfriend drew the ire of his girlfriend after he picked through her mother's soup in an insulting way – sparking a social media firestorm. Posting his story on a popular Reddit forum, the young man said the couple was visiting his girlfriend's mom's house when they were served seafood chowder. '[My girlfriend's mom] made it once before and it was really good, but she add[ed] a few pieces of ginger to flavor it,' he wrote. 'I really, really, really hate biting into ginger,' he said. 'I don't mind the flavor it imparts, I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece.' The boyfriend said that he once bit into a piece of ginger in her past soups and it 'almost ruined the whole meal.' This time, the man said, he asked the mother if she used the root vegetable. She replied that she did and forgot to pick the pieces out. 'She seemed genuinely apologetic about it,' the man recalled. 'I told her it was no problem and I had an idea.' He continued, 'I saw a colander hanging on a rack on the kitchen counter and I went to the kitchen and strained the soup into another bowl (which I asked if I could grab) and picked out the couple pieces of ginger.' A man on Reddit received criticism after he admitted to picking ingredients out of a soup his girlfriend's mother made — before it was even served. Duí¡an Zidar – He then 'dumped the remaining strained pieces of potato and fish and shrimp and scallops and stuff back into the liquid.' The man said, 'I even [apologized] for the extra dishes and offered to help clean up afterward.' The girlfriend's mom didn't seem to mind at the moment, but the Redditor's quick-thinking did not please his partner — who was quiet during the drive home. 'She told me I didn't have to be such an a–hole and make a big show and dance about insulting her mom's food,' he said. Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! But the boyfriend tried to defend his actions, saying he liked the food 'except for a couple of ingredients.' 'Still didn't smooth things over, though,' he added. The Reddit community nearly unanimously branded the boyfriend as rude and tone-deaf. 'This is … actually really embarrassing for you,' one person wrote. 'Picking them out of individual spoonfuls would have been much less dramatic,' another added. 'Stop being so picky or just don't eat those things from your bowl,' a third person said. 'No, you don't grab a strainer and do that. Where are your manners?' Carole Lieberman, M.D., a psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, California, weighed in on the ginger dilemma. The relationship expert described the boyfriend's behavior to Fox News Digital as a 'red flag.' 'Not just because it was rude, but because it signals a lack of awareness of other people's feelings, a need [for] control and self-centeredness,' Lieberman said. 'The key to understanding the ginger dilemma is first understanding what the mother's intentions are in serving them [the] soup.' A home-cooked meal, she observed, is a symbol of nurturance and affection – in this case, a mother's love. 'So, even though he reports that the mom didn't react like it was a big deal, when he hacked into and dismembered her soup, it was hurtful to her because it felt like he was rejecting her love,' the psychiatrist said. The boyfriend would have been better served if he quietly placed the ginger pieces to the side instead of making a dramatic gesture, Lieberman said. 'What he did not only strained the soup, it strained their relationship,' she noted. But the silver lining, Lieberman said, is that the boyfriend's intentions were pure. 'He didn't do these things to be rude,' she concluded. Instead, 'he rationalized that he was being thoughtful in taking care of the ginger dilemma himself, rather than asking the mother to fix it.' Lieberman suggested that the girlfriend 'should observe whether he is self-absorbed and controlling in other situations … before making any rash decisions about the relationship.'
