Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise doesn’t waste any time before diving into the deep end of the cast drama. In the April 9 series premiere, the ongoing beef between cast members Elizabeth Chambers and Courtney McTaggart comes to light. At a pool party, Courtney explains why she has bad blood with Elizabeth. “I think she thought, for whatever reason, that I was one of Armie’s chicks,” Courtney says, referring to Elizabeth’s ex-husband, Armie Hammer. “And then I started getting all of these horrible messages, like from these fake accounts on Instagram, calling me a ‘disgusting sugar baby,’ asking how long I’d been sleeping with Armie. Like, screw this. I have my family, my boyfriend that see my Instagram, so don’t say stuff like that. That’s disgusting.” Courtney claims that she confronted Elizabeth about the messages and alleges Elizabeth “looked at me like I was trash.

Zachery Ty Bryan is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Police arrested the former Home Improvement actor in Eugene, Ore. on Friday, July 28, following an altercation with an unnamed woman, according to a report from Entertainment Weekly.
The one-time sitcom star, 41, reportedly assaulted a woman, whose name was not released. When police arrived at the residence, Bryan was no longer there. He was later tracked down and booked on charges of felony assault.
The incident comes nearly three years after Bryan’s arrest in October 2020, also following a domestic violence incident. In that case, he was accused of assaulting his 27-year-old girlfriend, Johnnie Faye Cartwright, and taking her phone away when she attempted to call 911. He was booked on a felony charge of strangulation and misdemeanor charges of assault in the fourth degree and interfering with making a report, Us Weekly reported at the time.

Armie Hammer, 36, and Elizabeth Chambers, 40, have settled their divorce.
Chambers filed for divorce from the Golden Globe nominee in 2020 due to “irreconcilable differences” before the sexual assault, rape and cannibalism allegations against her ex-husband surfaced.
The settlement comes weeks after the Los Angeles County D.A. announced that Hammer won’t be charged with sexual assault that he was accused of in 2021.
After different women made multiple accusations against the 36-year-old actor, Chambers posted her thoughts and said she was “shocked, heartbroken, and devastated.” The mother-of-two apparently had no knowledge of Hammer’s alleged actions, even though the suspected accusations happened during their marriage.
“I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal,” Chambers added.

Mean Girls star Rajiv Surendra has shared the reason why he left Hollywood.
The former actor, famously known for playing the role of rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor in Mean Girls, left the industry because he wasn’t selected as the lead in Ang Lee’s Life of Pi.
“While we were shooting Mean Girls during my first year of college, I found out they were turning Life of Pi into a film,” Surendra told GQ.
“I was determined to get that part. So I dropped out of college to go to the little town in India where the book takes place so that I could do some in-depth research.”
However, the film lost its first director and the project was put on hold. So Surendra went back to college.

Elizabeth Chambers says she was learning about ex-husband Armie Hammer’s sexual abuse allegations and fetishes “as the public was,” and it left her speechless.
In a profile for Elle published Wednesday, the former Current TV anchor and Bird bakery owner opened up about how she and Hammer fell in love, how their relationship was reshaped by his increasing fame and how toward the end — around the same time as the allegations emerged — he had become “the worst.”
Discussing how their relationship fell apart while in the Cayman Islands during the Covid-19 lockdown, Chambers offered a different take than the one Hammer gave in a British GQ profile published in September 2020, where he described feeling like a wolf “caught in a snare” and called the tension the byproduct of a “very complicated, intense situation, with big personalities all locked in a little tiny place.”
For Chambers, “his behavior was less caged animal and more irritating,...

Steven Soderbergh has refuted reports claiming Thandiwe Newton was dropped from the latest Magic Mike movie after rowing with costar Channing Tatum.
Newton was set to appear in the soon-to-be-released Magic Mike’s Last Dance but exited the project after 11 days. She was replaced in the role opposite Tatum by Salma Hayek.
“Thandiwe Newton has made the difficult decision to step away from the production of Warner Bros Pictures’ Magic Mike’s Last Dance to deal with family matters,” a Warner Bros spokesperson said at the time.
Meanwhile, outlets like PageSix and The Sun reported that a “vicious” row broke out between the two stars over the Will Smith Oscars slapping incident of last year.

Early in the pandemic, the former couple and their two young children quarantined with Hammer’s father and stepmother at their home in the Cayman Islands.
Speaking with British GQ at the time, the disgraced Call Me by Your Name actor said lockdown made him feel “like a wolf who got caught in a snare”.
“A wolf who wanted to chew his own foot off,” Hammer described. “I was just like, ‘I can’t do this.’”

The Call Me By Your Name star was accused in 2021 of rape by one woman, and of sexual misconduct by multiple others.

Elizabeth Chambers is ready to open up about her split from Armie Hammer. The couple announced their separation after 10 years of marriage in July 2020 following disturbing allegations that Hammer perpetrated violent abuse on women. In E!'s September 2022 cover story, the 40-year-old Bird Bakery founder discussed for the first time how their separation has affected her and how the two are maintaining a united front for the sake of their two kids, Harper, 8, and Ford Hammer, 6.
"Our divorce is not finalized. But we are in a really great place. We talk all the time," Chambers said at the time. "We're committed fully and wholly to our children, and to being together as much as possible in a non-romantic way for our kids. Kids need their mom; kids need their dad.

"I would have these younger women in their mid-20s, and I'm in my 30s. I was a successful actor at the time. They could have been happy to just be with me and would have said yes to things that maybe they wouldn't have said yes to on their own," Hammer said. "That's an imbalance of power in the situation."

In early 2021, actor Armie Hammer’s Hollywood career came to a screeching halt after disturbing text messages emerged detailing Bdsm and cannibalism, followed by several accusations of sexual misconduct and, in the case of one woman, rape.
Two years later, Hammer is breaking his silence in the first interview since the scandal that’s cost him his career and his marriage, revealing he was a victim of child sexual abuse and that he was so distraught that he considered suicide.
Speaking with Air Mail, Hammer claimed that his interest in Bdsm stems from that childhood trauma, when he was sexually molested by a youth pastor when he was 13.

Armie Hammer is speaking out on allegations stemming from two years ago that he abused multiple women, as well as the sexual practices that put him at the center of controversy.
In an exclusive interview with Air Mail, Hammer said that he was sexually abused by a youth pastor when he was 13, which “set a dangerous precedent in my life.” Hammer’s downfall as a would-be Hollywood movie star was tangled up in associations with Bdsm and cannibalistic fetishes that were revealed on social media. A user named Effie, who shared screenshots in early 2021 dating back to 2017, also accused Hammer of rape.
Hammer, in the interview, conceded to emotional abuse toward his past partners while also denying any criminal wrongdoing.
