Happy Friday. I almost didn't even say that correctly. Welcome to the TMZ Podcast.

**Courtney Doucette** (0:43)
There wasn't a little bit of slur in that.

**Deven Rall** (0:44)
We're back together. Yeah, I'm fighting a sickness, so I'm not hungover. I know, I'm doing my best. See, that's the thing about this place, is that if you call out sick, everyone's always like, oh wow, you're really not that sick. But then if you come in and you're fighting something, then you get shaded for coming in and getting other people sick. So it's basically a lose-lose situation.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:05)
It really is. It sucks.

**Deven Rall** (1:07)
I know, but it's good to be here with you.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:09)
I know.

**Deven Rall** (1:09)
Did we even do one podcast this week together? Oh God, it's been such a whirlwind.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:13)
I know, it's like a little bookend.

**Deven Rall** (1:14)
I know, perfect. Well, glad to see you. Are those new nails?

**Courtney Doucette** (1:19)
No, I have to get them done. I got them for Switzerland.

**Deven Rall** (1:21)
Red is aggressive.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:22)
It is, but I got them for Switzerland, so I would match the flag.

**Deven Rall** (1:25)
Oh, cool.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:25)
I'm going to Ireland next week, so maybe I'll do a different color.

**Deven Rall** (1:28)
God, you're just a world traveler. Are you going all week?
Yeah. Oh, wow.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:31)
I'm gone for like two weeks. I'm actually not working.

**Deven Rall** (1:34)
You're leaving me with Branson?

**Courtney Doucette** (1:35)
I am.

**Deven Rall** (1:37)
I love Branson, actually. We'll switch some people out. No, no, no, no. I love Branson. Okay, let's get to the stories real quick. So, huge controversy online yesterday. A very serious topic.
These YouTubers announced that they were going to be ending the guy's, I guess they're YouTubers, Jesse and Ashley Ridgway. They were kind of documenting her getting pregnant, and then they announced that they were ending her pregnancy after when they did the test.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:09)
Yeah, they did some genetic testing.

**Deven Rall** (2:11)
Yeah, they did the genetic testing and found out that the fetus, that the kid was going to have Down syndrome. So, they ended up ending the pregnancy. They posted a video all about it, and people are very upset. So, we will get into that. Cassie is in the middle of a lawsuit. I feel like everyone in this Diddy world are just constantly dealing with lawsuits.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:29)
Yes, it's been like four years of lawsuits. Lawyers are making some money.

**Deven Rall** (2:32)
Yeah, those are the only people winning in this situation, as usual. But basically, she now has an ally in her lawsuit against a former male escort. I don't think he still is.
And she has someone on her side now that's going to help her apparently defend because she did not commit any crimes against this guy.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:52)
Love that for her.

**Deven Rall** (2:53)
So we'll get into that. And then Pride Month, June. And one of the biggest stars, I would say, still.
She's just a legend.

**Courtney Doucette** (3:03)
She's a legend.

**Deven Rall** (3:03)
A legend shut down Times Square with a surprise Pride concert.
Are we able to show any of the videos or no? We'll just talk about it. We'll talk about it.

**Courtney Doucette** (3:13)
Come on, Branson.

**Deven Rall** (3:14)
I know. What are you guys doing back there? Can we get something cleared, bro? They're embedded in the film. Got it. We do not have permission to use the videos, but we will tell you all about who this star is.
Oh, oh, this. Oh, I was like, I was like, wait, they didn't have a podcast in Times Square. Now I hear you.
Yeah, that's true. Okay, so we don't need to get into all the copyright laws. Okay, so this influencer couple, YouTubers, Jesse and Ashley Ridgway. Like I said, at the top, they've been documenting his, Ashley getting pregnant.

**Courtney Doucette** (3:51)
Yeah, she got pregnant back in March, they announced it.
