Paige DeSorbo Says Craig Conover Never Bought an Engagement Ring
Quick catch up: During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! in March, Craig told Andy that he had 'just returned' the engagement ring he bought for Paige that morning. 'I just don't need custody of it anymore, so I took it back to the guy,' he said. At the same time, he revealed that he was seeing someone new—later identified as Natalie Buffett. Clearly, he wanted it to be known that he was moving on from the drama of the breakup. But based on the Summer House season 9 reunion, he seems to have failed spectacularly.
Though she didn't comment on the story at the time, Paige is speaking out now, casting doubt on Craig's story. 'That ring does not exist,' she said at the Summer House season 9 reunion. She went on to poke holes in her ex's story, calling it 'convenient' that he had decided to return the supposed ring the same morning of his Watch What Happens Live appearance. 'Him and his new girlfriend went and returned my ring? I don't think so, Andy. That's insane,' she said.
Craig has yet to respond, but knowing these two, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Ever since Paige and Craig broke up in late 2024, they've been going back and forth in the press, arguing about what really happened between them. Fans originally accused Paige of cheating (she denied it), which then led to a debate on whether or not Craig should defend her against false allegations (spoiler: he didn't even try) and Paige claiming that Craig was texting other women (Craig denies cheating). The whole split has gotten pretty messy. And with both parties continuing to take swipes at each other, it's pretty clear that this is one mess that isn't going to get cleaned up anytime soon.

Real Housewives Shouldn't Be Shaming One Another For Having Abortions
Source: Brit Eady + Kelli Ferrell Having an abortion is not a character flaw, but Real Housewives of Atlanta star Brit Eady doesn't seem to know that. She chose to expose her fellow newcomer, Kelli Ferrell, for allegedly having an abortion during a recent episode of the Bravo franchise. Ferrell was fleeing their heated argument when Eady called out, 'Keep it up…unless you want to talk about those abortions you had when you married.' It was clear that Eady wanted to expose Ferrell by sharing something that she deemed embarrassing in front of the group. She tossed the comment at Ferrell's back like a dagger. It was a low blow not just to Ferrell but to any person watching who ever exercised their right to choose. Peach holders Shamea Morton and Cynthia Bailey gasped. The accusation shifted the tone at an event hosted by returning veteran Phaedra Parks. It. Was. Too. Far. Reality television stars have a wide range of topics to attack one another with. Tacky outfits, ill-fitting lace front wigs, miniature doormats, pyramid schemes, poorly auto-tuned pop songs, and crappy choices in romantic partners are all up for grabs. Medical procedures are not. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Eady could have chosen any negative thing to say about her former friend, but she chose to mention abortion because she felt like that was worthy of others' judgment. She doubled down on her actions when Morton admonished her, retorting that 'she's trying to call me a pill-popper.' Addiction isn't funny either, but who was right or wrong in their fight is for Andy Cohen and a well-appointed couch to figure out. There is a dangerous stigma associated with abortion that causes diminished access to and quality of care should not be used as a weapon. Ferrell deserved better, and so did the fans. The Guttmacher Institute reports that more than 1 million people had abortions in 2023. Seeking reproductive healthcare is not a personal shortcoming. It is a normal part of many people's lives. Abortions are not 'receipts.' They are not material for a read or something scandalous to accuse someone else of. They are private matters that occur daily that save lives in more ways than one. Being pro-life should include the lives of women. Ferrell did not confirm or deny ever having abortion when she was asked about the incident in an interview with Entertainment Weekly . 'It's my body and my choice,' she declared boldly. She did deny discussing anything of the sort with Eady and revealed that because of Eady's statements she had to discuss the topic with her four daughters. But she should not have had to defend herself against the continued stigma associated with abortion. People are entitled to share their stories when they feel ready to. Jaws dropped at Eady's comments. Reality television was built on fun shade but this wasn't fun it was uncomfortable. Eady shamed Ferrell in a room full of people and cameras for (allegedly) doing what she wanted to do with her body. That is not okay. Petty arguments about glam squads should not result in mess like this. That is not entertaining. It's disgusting. And at a time when there is an all-out war being waged on reproductive rights shaming someone on national television for having an abortion is irresponsible. Eady is frequently accused of not being a 'girl's girl' by former housewife Claudia Jordan. Clearly, she is not trying to beat the allegations. Abortion access is more limited than ever. There are bans being passed across the nation putting the lives of women in danger. Families are having their rights to decide about the health of their impaired loved one's bodies stripped away in favor of conservative legislation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 60% of women who have abortions are already mothers. Ferrell notes that she is a mother of four in her Real Housewives tagline. Some people have abortions because they are overwhelmed by parenting the kids they already have. Some people have abortions because they are experiencing health challenges. Others are trapped in domestic violence situations or are experiencing homelessness. People have abortions for all types of reasons. Birth control fails. Assaults happen. Circumstances change. It doesn't matter why someone chooses to have an abortion or how many they have. It is a valid medical choice that doesn't deserve to be met with shame and ridicule.

Captain Sandy shares the travel moment that changed her life, why boating is an escape
Captain Sandy Yawn is best known for leading crews on Bravo's "Below Deck Mediterranean," but her maritime career began with a visit to The Bahamas. Yawn, who has traveled the world as a superyacht captain, initially started out by answering an ad in the newspaper for a job washing boats in 1990. 'I washed the boat so well the owner offered me a full-time job,' she told USA TODAY. Her first trip on the vessel took her to the Caribbean island country. As she crossed The Bahamas Banks, she could see the ocean floor through crystal clear water. 'It was beautiful and I thought, Oh my gosh, I'm getting paid for this,' she said. 'What a great job.' Yawn, who also recently became an ambassador for marine marketplace Boatmart, spoke to USA TODAY about her first visit to the Mediterranean, her perfect day on vacation and why boating can be good therapy. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Is there a travel experience that's most memorable or stands out to you when you look back? My first time to the Mediterranean was to Spain, and when I went to Spain for the first time, it was in Palma, Mallorca (in 2000). I had never been and I was like, 'Oh my gosh.' Little did I know that an island would have such large mountains. … And it was history, oh my goodness: The age of the buildings, the landscape, the architects, the artists. And then from there, we went to Barcelona, which was epic. And I remember we arrived at 6 a.m., and the nightclubs were still going. I thought, "This is a cool city." … And I went to the (Dalí Theatre-Museum) in Figueres, Spain, which was incredible. We (went to Gaudí's Park Güell). So, for me, walking through the history of Spain and the artists was epic. And from there, I was based in Barcelona (working on a motor yacht), and then we would drive to Andorra … And we would ski in the Pyrenees. So, we adventured. And I would always drive the crew three hours, three-and-a-half hours. If it was raining in Barcelona, I'm like, "Let's go ski," because we spent winters there. What is your preferred way to travel on your own time? Boats. I don't like flying. The older I get, the less I like to fly, especially everything that you're reading lately. … Boat is my transport of choice, because you can always find a place to anchor if the weather is bad, and you can't do that in the sky. You start hitting turbulence, where are you going? … A boat, you could go around the corner and just drop your hook. Train – I wish we had a train system in the U.S. like they do in Europe, because my first train ride in Europe was – wow. I was like, 'This is cool.' We were in Civitavecchia, which is a marina outside of Rome. We were going to go see a concert, and we all booked the first-class seats, and we just had the best time riding the train. I even called my sister one day; I went, 'Let's buy a train car to hook on the back of Amtrak.' … If you Google train cars for sale, you'll find one. … So I thought, "Oh, let's do that." And she goes, 'You know there are more train crashes than there are planes?' And I go, 'Great, you just ruined that for me.' When you do have to fly, do you prefer an aisle or window seat? I'm an aisle seat. Now, on the long-haul flights, I like to try to get that one solo seat if you have it, because I'm always on my own. But no matter what, I want to be on an aisle because if there is an emergency, I don't want to be tripping over someone to get to the door. When you're on vacation, is there anything that you splurge on? I love boating, so I like to charter a boat when I go on vacation. And I also love to do the spas. I love going out boating for the cocktail cruising hour. I don't want to do it in the sun, you know? I'm past that age. So, spa, boating, cocktail cruise, sundown, home, great dinner with your friends – and that's a perfect day for me. Are there any travel must-haves for you? I love games. So when we travel, if it's just (my wife) Leah and I we play cards. I love to gamble. I don't have a gambling problem, but we play games. From the time we're on the plane, we're playing something. (I bring) a book to read, and that's it. When I go somewhere, the destination for me is the entertainment. Getting to the destination is what I want to occupy me if I'm not sleeping. So, playing a game, reading a book or watching a great series. Do you have any travel pet peeves? Security, right? So, getting to the plane, TSA – sometimes those people need to chill out. I get it: Look at everything, check the luggage, but don't be rude. The pet peeve for me is when they speak to people rudely. For someone who is curious about going on a boating holiday, where would you recommend they start? You can charter small boats. There are boat clubs. You can buy a boat off of They sell personal watercraft, they sell kayaks, they sell big boats, whatever fits your budget. Go boating, because when you touch the water, it is incredible. When you're floating on top of it, it changes everything. You could have the most angry people in the world; you get them on a boat, they just transform. … Water transforms people and their personalities, and I think boating is good therapy.

This has led to rumors that she could appear at the upcoming all-women's Evolution 2 event. Saraya Denies WWE Return Rumors In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Saraya was direct about her status. "I haven't had a conversation with them," she said. "I love the WWE, but no." She acknowledged that fans often tag her in posts about potential mystery returns. However, she is currently taking a break from the wrestling industry.

More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation A Focus On The Future Saraya indicated that a return to the ring could happen next year. For now, she is focused on other projects. "Next year, maybe come back," she said. She recently published her memoir, "Hell in Boots," in March. She has also launched a new podcast called "Rulebreakers." Paige was a trailblazer in WWE's women's division, first making history as the inaugural NXT Women's Champion in 2013. Her main roster debut on Raw after WrestleMania 30 is legendary; she defeated AJ Lee to win the Divas Championship on her first night, becoming the youngest Divas Champion ever at 21. A two-time Divas Champion, she was the only woman to hold both the NXT and Divas titles simultaneously. She was a central figure in the "Divas Revolution" before a severe neck injury forced her to retire from in-ring competition in 2018. After her retirement, she remained with WWE in non-wrestling roles, including a popular run as the General Manager of SmackDown and as manager for the Kabuki Warriors, before her eventual departure from the company in 2022. She would be a welcome addition to the women's division should she return to WWE, whether that be as a wrestler or manager. She has plenty of things to offer. No, the fans wait to see what happens.
