Cindy Crawford says Kaia Gerber was ‘traumatised' by her racy photos which were hanging in the house
Cindy Crawford is getting candid about the side effects of her supermodel past, particularly how it impacted her daughter, Kaia Gerber. On a recent episode of Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, the 59-year-old icon revealed that some of her most provocative photos were on full display in her home for years. 'There were pictures of me in the house that I never explained to my kids,' Crawford shared. 'Once in a while, one of them would say, 'We just thought it was normal that your mum was photographed like that.'' She laughed, adding, 'I'm sure my kids are traumatised, like every kid is.' Crawford, whose decades-spanning career included countless risqué shoots in the '80s and '90s, said her perspective shifted after starting a family. 'I did stop doing those kinds of photos before we got married,' she said of her 1998 wedding to businessman Rande Gerber. 'I've turned down shoots since, I just didn't want my nine-year-old getting teased at school.' While she's proud of most of her work, Crawford admitted there is one shoot she regrets. 'It's not even the most revealing, but I felt manipulated,' she recalled. 'That's the only one I look back on and feel hurt.' She contrasted that experience with working with famed photographer Herb Ritts, saying she felt '100% safe' and 'not sexualised' during their collaborations. As she approaches 60, Crawford is focused on self-care, promoting her long-running skincare brand Meaningful Beauty. She credits its signature sun-protectant moisturizer for her radiant look, adding, 'Confidence is what people really notice.' Despite the shock factor at home, Kaia Gerber, now 23, has carved out her own path in fashion—though likely with fewer awkward family portraits on display.

Kesha revealed that she previously tore her ACL on stage while performing at a festival in Dubai The singer said she was accused of being drunk for the performance, when instead she was injured Kesha's new album . (PERIOD) is out nowKesha revealed that she once tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while performing live on stage – and that she still finished the performance. Kesha, 38, spoke about the injury on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky on Tuesday, July 8. The singer, who released her new album . (PERIOD) on July 4, opened up about the pressure to perform through the painful injury earlier in her career. "It was hard for me. I remember I tore my ACL on stage. That was brutal, and in like song three or something. I was playing a festival in Dubai and I tore my ACL and I f------ got up and I played guitar and I sang and I finished the f------ show," the "Your Love Is My Drug" singer said. "Are you serious?" Lewinsky, 51, asked. Kesha responded, "Yes. 'Cause I'm a bad bitch," to which Lewinsky laughed. The singer then elaborated, "But I wake up the next day and I'm like, 'Wow, I am such a f------monster badass. And I wake up and there's an article on TMZ saying I was drunk at the show." "Wow," Lewinsky responded. Kesha then clarified, "Literally, Abso-f------lutely never have one drink before a show ever. Well, I did one time, the first time I played Lollapalooza in 2009. And after that, I literally did that one time and I was like 'Okay I'm never doing that again. I'm never drinking before a show.' " "So like things like that have hurt me and that people think that I don't know that [they] hurt my feelings," Kesha said. "I'm sorry for what you've had to go through," Lewinsky responded. Kesha then reflected on the harsh nature of the public eye that both she and Lewinsky experienced. Lewinksy was famously embroiled in an affair scandal with former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s that led to intense cyberbullying in the early ages of the internet. This later inspired Lewinksy's mental health advocacy work. "And like would we both be sitting here had we not gone through those things? Probably not. And it has made us into the people that we are. And you seem like a f------- badass. I know I'm a f-------badass," Kesha said.

Savannah Guthrie opened up about her divorce. She shouldn't be ashamed.
When it comes to talking about divorce, it's OK to be candid. "Today" host Savannah Guthrie, 53, modeled what being vulnerable about divorce sounds like during a recent podcast conversation, opening up on her "horrible and sad" split from former husband Mark Orchard. Speaking on Monica Lewinsky's "Reclaiming" podcast in an episode released on July 1, Guthrie said the end of the marriage "broke my heart." "It took me years to recover," said Guthrie, who was married to Orchard from 2005 to 2009. Divorce is common. Research shows that 41% of first marriages end in divorce and 60% of second marriages and 73% of third marriages end the same way. While the experience is so ubiquitous, Guthrie's sincere comments raise the question of why don't we talk about divorce more honestly? "People often don't talk about it in an honest way," said Deborah Carr, professor of sociology at Boston University and director of the Center of Innovation in Social Science. "It's rare you see someone honestly say they were devastated and they felt like a failure ... the real emotional dimensions of divorce aren't addressed." A big reason is the shame and stigma people face when opening up about a relationship ending. Typically, their peers want to know who's to "blame" for dissolving a union, rather than how the individual is doing, said Eman Tadros, a marriage and family therapist and professor at Syracuse University. We want the story. But it's not as simple as one partner being right or wrong, she said, so we need to work on ways to reframe divorce as a complex transition with many sides. "People were probably stunned she did not want to talk about this sooner," Tadros said. "It's OK for people to have different lengths of time to process things." 'Uncoupling' versus 'breaking up' Language is power when overcoming stigma about divorce. One thing people can do is lead with "I" statements to take accountability for their feelings, Tadros advised. This is easy to imagine, but hard in practice, she said. "Say 'I' in the beginning of a sentence, instead of 'you hurt me,'" Tadros explained. "Then you are speaking about your experiences and not attributing or shifting blame to your partner." Another step forward is to replace connotative terms like "break up" with neutral ones such as "uncoupling" to avoid pointing fingers or assuming the divorce is a loss, rather than a progressive moment for each person, she said. And this applies to friends and family of the couple, too. Gwyneth Paltrow and ex Chris Martin raised eyebrows for using this language, but they had a point. "Saying, 'they broke up' (implies) 'Oh, what happened?'" she said. Peers should ask open-ended questions, Tadros advised. Instead of asking a friend "Who did what?" trying leading with "How are you both navigating this?" to provide a blame-free zone for them to express. These small changes can revolutionize divorce discourse from trading barbs to supporting individuals, Tadros said. The result? People who leave relationships feel less isolated and more empowered to start their next chapter. "People cannot support us unless they know what we're going through," said Carr. But it's important not to offer unsolicited advice to a divorcing friend, she added. Let them ask for what they need on their own time. "There are many reasons people divorce, and some will be more painful than others," said Carr, and people may need professional help to work through trauma. But there's hope in the aftermath. Guthrie herself went on to marry Michael Feldman in 2014. But it is completely normal for anyone to take some time as Guthrie did to recover and make sense of what the marriage meant. "Often times there's guilt to deal with, and that feeling of failure," Carr said. "When (marriage) goes away, they have to rethink every aspect of their future ... That loss of innocence can be really emotionally powerful."

Savannah Guthrie touches on 'horrible' divorce: 'It took me years to recover'
Savannah Guthrie is offering rare insight into her divorce from her first husband. The "Today" host, 53, touched on her split from Mark Orchard during a discussion on Monica Lewinsky's "Reclaiming" podcast in an episode released on Tuesday, July 1. "It was horrible and sad, and it broke my heart," she said. "It took me years to recover." Guthrie was married to Orchard from 2005 to 2009. The topic was brought up when Lewinsky asked Guthrie about her decision to include a disclaimer in her 2024 book, "Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere," stating that there were some personal subjects she would not go into depth on. Guthrie said she included this disclaimer because she wanted to establish her qualifications to write about topics like loss and suffering, without fully getting into details about her experience in those areas. "I wanted to say, 'You know what? I have experienced adversity, but I don't really want to tell you about the depths of that, because some of it was just too personal and too embarrassing,'" she told Lewinsky. "I have had my moments, and I have had my sadnesses. ... But I don't want to go there," the NBC host went on to say. "I'm down here, my feet are burning on the pavement. I just don't want to tell you why the pavement was so hot, or how many blisters I had on my feet. I don't want to give you the gory details." Savannah Guthrie reveals this was 'the hardest' topic to write about in her book on faith Guthrie pointed to her divorce as an example of one of those topics she did not want to go into further detail about in her writing. "I'm not blaming anyone, but I don't really want to get into it," she said. Guthrie has been married to Michael Feldman since 2014. They have two children together. Speaking to USA TODAY in 2024, Guthrie described "Mostly What God Does" as a "really vulnerable and personal" series of reflections on faith. "It's that way because in so many ways, this is the book that I need to read," she said. "… I need to be reminded, like we all do, that God loves us and is on our side and has an eternal promise to be present to us." Contributing: Erin Jensen
