Speaker 1 (00:10):
For sure. It's not nice. No, welcome to the naughty,
but nice. I'm your house from Shooter. It'sday. I'm still
in the UK. It's my last day today in the UK.
I came over for Father's Day to see my dad,
my sister Christine, my brother Douglas. I saw my sister Betty. Oh.
It was so much fun. But today it's the last
(00:32):
day in jolly old England. I'm flying back this afternoon
and we will have a Friday show live from America
with Corey Andrew, our friend Cory. So thank you again, Naughties.
It's been a little challenging. As you know. I'm really
good at the gossip and the interviews and the questions
and the report, and I'm a really good celebrity reporter.
(00:54):
What I'm not very good at is technology, and so
I was a little bit unsure whether or not we
would pull this off, but we Didnaughties. I tell you,
don't give into fear. You could always just work out.
Whenever you get yourself really worked up about something really frightened,
not quite sure if you can do it, say or
(01:15):
it could just work out fine. And that's exactly what
has happened. Thank you for bearing with us. I like
to put out the most professional show we can do.
As you know, I've had my own morning show, my
own evening show, and so I've worked with some big networks,
and so now being with iHeart is a thrill. They're
a massive network. But the quality of these shows are
(01:36):
really really important to me. So thank you, thank you,
thank You'll be lovely to be back on a professional
Mike tomorrow and hopefully as crystal clear as we can be.
Let's jump into our show. What time is it? My friends?
It is tea time. Big story at the top of
the show, An Barell, the celebrity chef, is dead at
just fifty five, and now friends are asking questions, saying
(01:57):
something doesn't add up. Sudden death a food network star
and Morell has left fans, family shocked and lots of
people are asking questions. I can confirm. The fifty five
year old chef, she was only fifty five, was found
unresponsive Tuesday morning inside her Brooklyn home. First responders they
(02:20):
arrived about eight am and pronounced her dead at the scene.
One question that is lingering is where was her husband,
Stuart Claxton. They lived together. They were really really tight units.
So why was Anne alone? And this doesn't sit right,
something feels off. Sources tell me, well, now I have
(02:41):
some answers. Stewart was in the home. Stuart was in
the home. He found Anne in the shower, unresponsive. He
had seen her a few hours before. But there are
still a lot of questions here. He married Anne in
twenty twenty one in a lavish ceremony in her upstate home,
(03:01):
which is in New York, and publicly they seemed really happy. Privately, though,
friends are telling me that the dynamic had recently shifted.
One inside had told me there were quiet tensions and
was the star and was the bread winner, and now
everyone's ego can handle that. Now the NYPD has not
(03:22):
ruled out foul play, and the cause of the death well,
that is still under investigation. But sources say those closest
to her are not satisfied with all the silence. One
insider tells me and was vibrant, she was working, she
was just about to film the show, and then she
had a huge smile on her face. She posted her
(03:44):
selfie just days ago, and this is not somebody that
was ready to go. Even more unsettling is there's been
no public statement from her husband. She was loved by millions,
and yet the one person who should I be speaking
out right now, the loudest, hasn't said a word. Sources
tell me people are starting to ask why, why is
(04:10):
something dark going on here? We may never get the
full story. A friend whispers to me. Let me point
out to that a dear friend of mine, one of
my best friends, used to date Stuart before he met
up with Anne. She was dating him and she said
that he was a very very dark fella and they
(04:30):
went through some really difficult times together. Now people have
a lot of questions about Anne's death at such a
young age, just fifty five years old. Now, I don't
want to go down conspiracy theories here and start blaming
people pointing the finger when that absolutely should not happen.
The police are going to investigate this. They're the experts,
(04:52):
they're the ones that are on the ground figuring this out.
But I do understand the friends here. It's really really shocking.
Imagine if a friend of yours died fifty five years
old and you'd seen them just the day before, big
smile on the face. In fact, inside has tell me
the day before her death, Anne was out and about
in New York City. I think she was at a
(05:12):
comedy club having a really great night. And then also too,
we saw selfies off her just a few days ago. Now,
can death be sudden? Obviously yes, obviously, Yes, a sudden
heart attack, which is what sources tell me happened here.
But they haven't been able to prove that yet. They
will give them some time. It's only been a day
(05:32):
or so. Could if she had a massive heart attack
in the shower and died and then been found by
her husband, very very plausible, quite probable, But there are
still questions here. So let's give the police some grace.
Let's give the friends and family some grace too, because
this is a shock. It is what everybody is talking about.
(05:55):
On a personal level. I knew Anne a Meta in
a green room maybe at the Today Show A Good
Morning America. I was on as a guest doing celebrity news.
She was on doing a cooking segment talking about food.
We really hit it off. We exchanged numbers, we'd text
each other. She was a really fun person. I loved
meeting her for a drink in the city and that
(06:15):
big smile and that fabulous blonde hair. She was the
life and soul of a party. I think it's important
to remember when somebody passes who they really are, who
they were, And it's easy to get caught up in
the headlines or the mystery or all the unanswered questions,
but also too, let's take a minute to just remember.
(06:36):
She was really cool. I met a lot of people
who were on the Food Network. In fact, I was
even invited to a big festival they had in Miami,
and I went down for three days. They flew me
in and I went to all their events. They gave
me all these free tickets to go to their events,
and I'd hang out with the chefs afterwards, and I
had a really fun time. My favorite, Rachel Ray was
(06:57):
one of my favorites. I love Rachel la Loo. Also
to although Rachel's doesn't appear to be doing so well
at the moment, does she, And also to Amborell just felon.
I've met I'm not gonna name names, but I met
a few chefs who were awful. They just thought they
were rock stars. They thought they were like Madonna, they
thought they were Taylor Swift and never did She was
(07:18):
really really popular. When you were involved in how somebody
prepares their food. That's really intimate. People thought they knew
her on a real friend level. She was like their maid.
And so I know that this passing has taken so
many people by surprise. They are absolutely shocked, which brings
us to our pole question of the day, Amborell bound
(07:40):
dead at just fifty five? Is there something suspicious going
on here? What do you think? There's something a little off,
isn't there. I don't know yet. I'm not speculating. I
certainly have no evidence here, but there's something off about
this story. Hey, go vote on our Twitter page Naughty
(08:00):
Knights rob facebook page is Naughty Gossip, and be sure
to check back tomorrow. I'll be back home tomorrow to
hear your results. Okay, moving along, another really explosive story
that would have been the lead of the show on
any other day, Tyler Perry has been hit with the
two one hundred and sixty million dollar sexual assault lawsuit
(08:23):
as whispers have resurfaced. So for years, let's be honest,
there has been whispers about Tyler Perry with their warning
signs were then knowing glances, lots of rumors within the industry.
Now they have exploded into a two hundred and sixty
million dollar lawsuits. The Oval. Actor Derek Dixon, very very
(08:44):
good looking, is suing Tyler Perry for sexual assault, harassment,
and battery, claiming the entertainment mogul used his power and
his fame and his position to manipulate and intimidate him
over several years. It's a bombshell complaint which alleged late
night encounters at Perry's home in Atlanta, one where Dixon
(09:07):
says that Perry climbed into bed with him and started
to touch his thighs after the actor says he had
been drinking and was encouraged to stay the night. But
the most damning part might be the paper trayl years
of sexually charged text, one reading quote I would f
(09:29):
u now. Dixon claims he feared for his career if
he spoke up. Remember, he was not a big star.
He was a really young he is a really young actor,
got a big break on The Oval, and he was
terrified that his character would be killed off if he
did not play along. That sounds plausible. Perry, who controls
every single aspect of The Oval. He's the writer, the director,
(09:52):
the executive producer. So allegedly he escalated the behavior with threats,
choking and deeply inappropriate remarks. Now let's be clear here,
Perry's lawyers have slammed this lawsuit as a shakedown, and
this is very very complicated. Did did his lawyers at
(10:13):
first said that Casses complained lawsuit against the Diddy that
was a shakedown until that CNN tape came out, the
hotel tape of her running down the hallway getting attacked
by him. So I don't know if we should just
buy it's a shakedown straight away. And that's unfortunate because
a lot of celebrities just use that, Oh, I'm being blackmailed,
(10:34):
this is a shakedown. I have so much money, I'm
a target. Yes, there is some truth to that, but
we seem to have text messages here. There have been
rumors for a long time that Tyler Perry was gay
and not out of the closet and was struggling with that.
I have no evidence to prove that either way, although
(10:54):
I do have a friend, a young actor who I
met years and years ago who ended up getting a
job on a Tyler Perry show. He is straight, he
has a girlfriend, but he has often hinted that he
has to smile and wink and sit on, sit on
a few people's labs to get these jobs. It is
(11:17):
a dirty, dirty business. If you have friends children out
there that are thinking of getting into acting, proceed with caution.
That's all I'm going to say. Proceed with caution. There
are Harvey Weinstein type characters out there there and did
his out there. I'm not going to add Tyler Perry
to that list yet. But what do you think about this?
(11:37):
Do you think he will settle had did he settled
with Cassie before before it all exploded, before he accused
her of being a liar and somebody blackmailing him. He
might not be sitting in jail today. The Cassie moment
was the turning point. This happens all the time. There
were so many rumors about Harvey Weinstein for yeahs. But
it needed a moment. It needed that peron and to
(12:00):
come forward to someone to be believed. It needed the
New York Times to do an expose. I'm told now
that journalist friends of mine investigative reporters, not silly gossip
columnists like me or entertainment reporters, but really deep investigative reporters,
including one who works at CNN, and I know her really, really,
(12:21):
really well. She's a great, great reporter. They're looking into this,
They're hitting the phones. They're talking to people who have
worked with Tyler Perry. What did they know? Friends? People
now who worked there, Insiders are all getting these phone calls.
Did Oprah know anything? Oprah and Tyler Perry are really
good friend. She's gone silent here. Maybe he should have
(12:43):
paid this off. I think two hundred and sixty million
dollars is a massive amount of money. Tyler I think
is worth almost that a billion dollars. More people now, though,
that's the question. The next week is going to be
critical for Tyler Perry. Are more people going to come forward? Now?
One person has been brave enough to pull their fun
out of the damn? Is this thing going to explode?
(13:06):
It happened with Ellen. It took one or two people
to tell the truth about Ellen. We all knew she
was a bully, we all knew that she wasn't very kind,
But he took one to brave people to come forward.
And then literally tens of people came forward. Dozens of
people came forward to confirm it. Will other people come forward? Now?
The tricky part is the people that know often are
(13:28):
in business with the person that's accused. And so now
you're sitting there, if you work on one of Tyler
Parish shows and you did see something, maybe it was
to you personally, do you risk your job? You're saying
to yourself, Well, if he pays this guy off, if
the lawsuit disappears, if he wins this, then he's not
(13:48):
going to hire me. And I want a career. I've
worked really hard. I want to be famous. I want
to be rich. It's very, very complicated. We certainly will
keep on top of it. Oh, a silly story. So
sources are saying that Colin Jost is a little jealous
of his wife Scarlett Johansson's cozy relationship with Jonathan Bailey.
So Jonathan Bailey a gay star, remember him in Wicked.
(14:09):
He's in the New Jurassic World with Scarlett Johansson and
the two of them have become best friends. They're not
together romantically. Once again, he's gay, she's married, but they've
just become friends and Colin feels like a little bit
pushed out here. So this is a really interesting story
because it's not about an affair. It's not about cheating.
It's not about the sexual attraction. It's jealousy of a friend.
(14:33):
Hasn't that ever happened to you? My husband Bruce has
a friend, a best friend, and the two of them
chitter chatter twenty times a day. And in the beginning
I was jealous. Nothing was going on sexually, but something
emotionally was. Bruce loves this friend and they're really really close.
And I had to say, stop being such a baby.
I can't be I don't need to be the center
(14:54):
of everything for Bruce's allowed to have friends. Do you
get jealous? Would you get jealous if your partner suddenly
had a best friend, even if they were gay or straight.
You know it's not sexual here. You know nothing's going on.
They just enjoy each other's company. Would you be a
little bit jealous? Carlin Jost? Maybe is okay. We're gonna
(15:15):
take a quick break and we'll be right back. Welcome
back to the Naughty but No Shower and your house
is a ramshooter. Hey, let's get to the polls that
that are. Last show, he talks about Brad Pitt's girlfriend,
Inez di Ramo. They've been together for two years and
she passed a red carpet test. She handled it, handled
(15:36):
the pressure like a pro. Sources tell me, will these
two get married? Let's have a look. Oh, seventy percent
said yes. I think it's lower because of the ugly
divorce with Angelina Joe Lee and that was so ugly,
so nasty, that it's given Brad pause. However, it has
been two years, he now is divorced. They clearly are
(15:56):
very happy. Although I gotta be honest. I looked at
the box office numbers and F one formula one Brad's
new movie, which is getting excellent reviews, a ton of press.
They literally shut down Times Square to do the arrivals,
the red carpet, the be opening premiere. The numbers are
a little soft. They're not disastrous. This movie is not
(16:18):
a disaster. But unless things pick up this weekend, I
think everybody involved in this movie, including Brand, are a
little bit nervous. They're a little bit nervous. I haven't
seen it yet. I will go and see it this weekend.
I'll let you know what I thought. And Monday, don't
forget to vote on today's poll. Got a Twitter page
at Naughty Nice Romba and Facebook page is Naughty Gossip
(16:42):
and sure to check back tomorrow to hear your results. Okay,
let's do and nicest of the day. Oh my noises
are the day's Taylor Swift. You know I love her.
She got a little bit shy blesser when she was
talking about Travis Kelcey. Oh this is so sweet. So
the popeyeicon made a surprise visit to a children's hospital
(17:04):
in Florida. Of course she does. She does this all
the time. She never puts out press releases. They never
tell people like me or Entertainment Tonight or the Today's Show.
The only way we find out about this is the
young patients often take herself here, picture with her, a
little video. The nurses are so excited, the doctors are
so excited. That that's how he found out about it.
So somebody took a little bit of a video where
Taylor was asked by a patient, by a young person
(17:27):
in the hospital, why are you in town? Why are
you in Florida? And she said, my boyfriend is training here.
And she quietly tucked her hair behind her ear, and
she fidgeted a little bit in her dress. A rare
glimpse of real time relationship nerves from a normally poised
(17:50):
pop star. It was so cute. The video is all
over the internet. Taylor just adorable and now I naught
is the day, naughty, naughty, naughty. It looks as if
Bethany Frale has been banned from the view So Bethany
f Ankle is finding out the Haled way, the clapping
back of everybody does come at a cost. So it's
called consequences. It's not cancel culture here, it's consequences. So
(18:11):
Bethany went out to joybayhard and now the viewer like,
we know what are on the show. If you come
after one of our hosts, we don't really want you here.
Now Bethany has she's aware of the fact that she
no longer gets booked on the big shows, and she
sort of turned a nose up at that a little bit,
saying that now it's all about TikTok, it was all
about online. Yes, she's got a point there, but the
(18:33):
shows are still important. Millions of people watch them. And
let's be honest. The fact Bethany has a full time
publicist who she pays a lot of money too. She's
not doing that to get her TikTok video. She's doing
that to get on covers of magazines, which she does
not anymore, and to get on the big TV shows,
which she does not anymore. And there's any one person
(18:54):
to blame for that, Bethany, it's you. If you bite
the hand that feeds you, they're not gonna welcome you back.
And naughtyus, naughtyus, something to remember and nautiust of the day.
Let's end with a moment of rub you, rob you,
rob be you do you for you, not for their approval,
not for their expectations, and certainly not for the applause.
(19:16):
For your peace, for your growth, and for your joy.
You don't need permission to live out loud, to love heart,
or walk in your truth, be unapologetically. You do what
sets your soul on fire, and do it all for you,
(19:40):
not for anybody else. You are worth it. On a
personal note, thank you everybody that has texted me or
DMed me about my op ed for the Hollywood Reporter,
I put together a short piece about what it was
like working for Diddy twenty years ago. I was did
his publicist, and some insights really really thoughtful. I to

I choose not to see anything? Because I was blinded
by his fame and power and money and celebrity. So
