‘Yellowstone' actor Neal McDonough walks back comment that Hollywood ‘turned' on him for refusing to kiss on-screen
Neal McDonough wants to stick with his band of brothers in Hollywood. In fact, the actor, 59, is taking back his previous remarks that the industry turned on him for refusing to kiss his co-stars. 'We want to say thank you, Hollywood,' McDonough's wife, Ruvé Robertson, said during a joint interview with TMZ on Thursday. 'I don't like how people are saying that Hollywood turned its back on Neal. No, it didn't. The right people found Neal and put him in the right place.' 10 Neal McDonough on the 'Nothing Left Unsaid' podcast. Nothing Left Unsaid/YouTube The producer added, 'We want to say thank you, Hollywood. We want to continue doing incredible films with Neal, giving the right messages. We don't want to say Hollywood turned. Guided us to where we are is what Hollywood did, and we want to say, 'Thank you, Hollywood.'' McDonough echoed his wife of 22 years' sentiments, telling the outlet, 'Everyone talks about that stuff that happened all those years ago.' 'If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be here,' the 'Yellowstone' alum explained. 'Those were stepping stones, and it made our relationship closer.' 10 Neal McDonough gets candid about Hollywood on a recent podcast. Nothing Left Unsaid/YouTube The couple, who share sons Morgan and James and daughters Catherine, London, and Clover, also touched on how their children would feel. 'If they were to see Dad kissing another woman, it would hurt them,' Robertson admitted. 'When Neal swears on film, which he rarely does, we would tell our kids when they were younger, 'Oh, no, that's a dub, that's a voiceover. Dad did not say S—T,' because we don't swear.' The mom of five also credited their fulfilled life to McDonough's time in showbiz. 10 Neal McDonough and Ruvé McDonough pose during 'The Last Rodeo' red carpet. Getty Images 'We cannot explain and express how blessed we are, how happy we are,' Robertson stressed. 'Everything that's going on, talking about how Hollywood dissed Neal and whatnot — no. Everything that's happened has brought us closer to where we are now.' Earlier in the week, McDonough had appeared on the 'Nothing Left Unsaid' podcast, where he shared his experience since breaking into the business in 2001. 'I always had in my contracts that I wouldn't kiss another woman on screen,' he revealed to hosts Tim Green and Troy Green. 'My wife didn't have any problem with it. It was me, really, who had a problem. I was like, 'Yeah, I don't want to put you through it. I know we're going to start having kids, and I don't want to put my kids through it.'' 10 Neal McDonough and his wife at an Emmys after party in 2002.

When I wouldn't do it, and they couldn't understand it, Hollywood just completely turned on me,' said McDonough. 'They wouldn't let me be part of the show anymore. And for two years, I couldn't get a job, and I lost everything you could possibly imagine. Not just houses and material things, but your swagger, your cool, who you are, your identity, everything.' The 'Shift' star even felt like he lost his identity as a performer. 10 Neal McDonough and Nicollette Sheridan in 'Desperate Housewives.' ©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection 10 Neal McDonough in 'Suits.' ©USA Networks/Courtesy Everett Collection 'My identity was an actor, and a really good one,' he stated, 'and once you don't have that identity, you're kind of in a tailspin. And I was in a big, ugly tailspin for a couple of years.' After the incident, McDonough – whose acting credits also include 'Band of Brothers,' 'Arrow,' 'Justified,' and 'Tulsa King' – started drinking more. 'I never drank during the set. I never drank during work because I love my craft and I take it with the utmost seriousness in everything I do,' he shared. 'But after work or days off or anything, I still feel like I wasn't a man. I didn't feel that I was doing the right things or some things just weren't clicking.' 10 Neal McDonough, Dawn Olivieri in the 2024 film 'Homestead.' Courtesy Everett Collection For McDonough, when he put down the bottle, 'everything just kind of changed.' 'Literally, the clouds parted. I was like, 'Oh. I don't need this crutch. Oh, people are calling me. Oh, I am successful. Oh, I do like myself again. Ok, I am God's child, and I have a job to do. Stop wallowing in self-pity. Dust yourself off and go hit it hard.'' McDonough, who tied the knot with the South African model in 2003, didn't name the show he was allegedly fired from. 10 Neal McDonough and his wife Ruve share a kiss. DMI Back in 2019, however, he did tell Closer Weekly that in 2010, he lost his role on the ABC drama 'Scoundrels' because of his no-sex-scene rule. 'It was a horrible situation for me,' confessed McDonough. 'After that, I couldn't get a job because everybody thought I was this religious zealot. I am very religious. I put God and family first, and me second. That's what I live by. It was hard for a few years.' Luckily, one of the 'Band of Brothers' producers helped the star revive his career. 10 Neal McDonough and his wife at the premiere of 'Minority Report.' 'Graham Yost called me and said, 'Hey, I want you to be the bad guy on Justified,'' McDonough recalled. 'I knew that was my shot back at the title.' These days, the Hollywood icon has also found a way around the no kissing on screen rule. In McDonough's 2025 feature film, 'The Last Rodeo,' Robertson portrayed his on-screen wife, and they shared a kiss. 10 Neal McDonough attends the world premiere of Disney's 'Zombies 4: Dawn Of The Vampires.'

YouTube is testing Instagram-style collabs
YouTube has started testing a new collaboration feature, similar to Instagram's and TikTok's. A Google employee explained on YouTube Help that it will allow creators to add collaborators to a video so that they can be recommended to each other's audiences. The test is only available to a small group of creators for now, but it sounds like YouTube has plans to expand its availability in the future. Lindsey Gamble, an influencer marketing consultant and advisor, has posted a screenshot showing how the experimental feature works on Threads. As you can see in the image Gamble posted, adding collaborators would show their names next to the creators on their channel. If there are too many, at least on mobile, the collaborators would show as "...and more" next to the creator's name. Tapping on it would bring up the list of people involved in the project, with the Subscribe button next to their name. On Instagram and TikTok, the creator who uploads the content will have to invite another account as a collaborator, who'll then have to approve the invitation. That'll most likely be the case here, as well, in order to ensure that creators don't randomly add other users to their videos. It's not clear, however, whether the collaborators can see details typically reserved for the uploader's eyes. As with any experimental YouTube and Google product, the company will be taking the testers' feedback into account before deciding if it'll give the feature a wide release. fff

On the origin of the '7-11' nickname for Boston Celtics stars Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum
Once, in a more innocent era for the two Boston Celtics superstar forwards, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum had a different nickname than one often hears for them now. Today's Fire and Ice was once known as "7/11," a nod to the jerseys worn by the two Celtics swingmen in that era (Brown wore and still wears jersey No. 7, and Tatum wore 11 back then before switching to his current jersey No. 0). Dating from their debut in Las Vegas Summer League back in 2017 -- ancient history by now, but a fun window into their past -- the folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip looking back at the nickname earlier this summer. Narrated by NBC Sports Boston reporter Chris Forsberg, the clip dives into those halcyon days when the dup cribbed the name of a popular convenience store for their collective identity (we think they landed with the right nickname later on, though). Check it out below! Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:
