Stephen A. Smith is not afraid to go up against anyone, and that apparently includes FBI Director Kash Patel.
On the Thursday, October 23, episode of ESPN’s First Take, Smith talked about the recent NBA gambling scandal that saw Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat star Terry Rozier arrested as part of a federal investigation into sports gambling.
During the segment, Smith insinuated that U.S. President Donald Trump is involved in the investigation.
“Trump is coming. He’s coming,” Smith, 58, said on the show. “Anybody that has seen his reactions from the sports leagues and the positions that people have taken, they are not surprised at what’s going on today…this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Makes 1st Comments After Gambling Indictments
He continued: “I’m watching a press conference with the Director of the FBI. Tell me when we’ve seen that. We’ve seen accusations before, we’ve seen athletes get in trouble with the law before. You don’t see the Director of the FBI having a press conference. It’s not coincidental, it’s not an accident. It’s a statement and it’s a warning that more is coming.”
Patel seemingly didn’t take too kindly to Smith’s comments, going on Fox News to talk with Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle later in the day, responding to the fiery accusations.
Patel chuckled when Ingraham asked him about Smith’s comments, saying it was “the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard out of anyone in modern history.”
“I’m the FBI director, I decide which arrests to conduct and which not to conduct,” Patel said. “We arrest people for crimes.”
Ingraham laughed as the segment wrapped.
Smith took a slight step back on his original statement in a social media post on Thursday night, responding to Patel’s comments on Fox News.
“Nothing to get ahead of here, people! I never denied or failed to mention that this FBI Investigation has been going on for years,” Smith said via X. “I said Trump wasn’t inclined to stop it. He’s sparing no one because the man isn’t playing. He’s coming!! In no way am I attempting to even have an opinion on the legitimacy of this matter. I don’t know the facts of the case. I’m just saying don’t expect POTUS to spare anyone on this matter. And I stand by that. That’s all!”
But Smith, of course, wasn’t done.
NBA’s Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier Arrested in Gambling Investigation
On his radio show on Friday, October 24, he commented again on the situation, clarifying his stance while also making clear that he still feels the same way about Trump’s involvement with the investigation.
“I would say he’s the director of the FBI, let’s just say I’m not trying to get on his bad side,” Smith said. “But having said that, I still stand by what I said. And I’m not changing my mind.
He continued: “This investigation has been going on since when Biden was in office. They talked about how this stuff has been going on since 2019, which is when Trump was in office. I’m not implying that Kash Patel doesn’t have any legitimacy to the case that he’s pursuing against these individuals … and I’m not about to argue with an FBI director. I’m simply making the point that in the end, you have a president in place that has a lengthy connection to the sports world, rife with friends and enemies. And those who are his enemies, he doesn’t mind inconveniencing one bit. And when it comes to the NBA brand, it doesn’t bother him.”
Smith, known for his strong opinions in sports, has become more involved with politics in recent months. In September, he debuted a new podcast, Straight Shooter, where Smith discusses politics and social issues, a shift from his normal sports content.

Teddi Mellencamp is praising her dad, John Mellencamp, in the wake of her cancer battle.
“It’s been 10 months since my brain surgery and I am so grateful to @johnmellencamp for continuously being there for me and my family the entire time,” Teddi, 44, wrote via Instagram on Friday, October 24, along with a photo of the famed rock star and her two daughters, Slate and Dove.
“Although apparently now that I’m no evidence of disease I can take photos without myself in it so I guess we’re all healing 🤣,” she continued. “Love you so much, Cougs. Thank you for everything ❤️.”
The post comes weeks after Teddi shared a happy update about her health after revealing she was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma that had metastasized to her lungs and brain. To treat her progressive illness, the reality TV star underwent brain surgery to remove the tumors. More tumors were found in March, and Teddi was told she had a 50/50 chance of survival.
Teddi Mellencamp Has 4 More Brain Tumors: Inside Her Cancer Battle
“Just to give a little life update to you guys, I had my immunotherapy yesterday and they did my scans,” Mellencamp said during the October 3 episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “And at this point, there is no detectable cancer.”
Because she will continue to stay on immunotherapy for a year, Teddi explained that despite there being no detectable cancer she is “I’m “not considered in remission or anything like that.”
“When they told me, I was in such shock,” she added. “I was, like, numb.”
“And [the doctor’s] like, ‘No it’s only because that’s how long immunotherapy has been around so that’s how long the study has worked,’” Mellencamp said during an April interview on Nightline. “So that’s when I then try to find the positive.”
While the latest update is a positive one, the former reality star has been careful to make it clear that she has a long way to go before she’s in the clear.
“I’m still going to be having days where I’m feeling sick and stuff because I still am in immunotherapy. So, I’m still fighting,” she explained. “The way they said it works, it’s like a year, then two years, then at three years, you’re allowed to be considered in remission
In addition to her dad, Teddi has also received support from her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave. The pair, who separated in October 2024, share son Cruz, 11, along with daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 5. Teddi cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for their split.
“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” Mellencamp announced via Instagram in November 2024. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”
The duo have continued to live together through the separation, something Arroyave, 48, addressed during an August episode of “The Eds” podcast.

“We’re just, you know, we’re great friends, and you know, I want to make sure she’s taken care of, but we’ve maintained that great relationship,” he said. “So even though we’re separated and we’re estranged, and we’re still planning on divorcing, like, we’re still friends. I still see her as a friend.”

Brenden Guthrie was all-in on Annie Lancaster before their devastating Love Is Blind season 9 breakup in the pods, but could they date again?
“The short answer is no,” Brendan, 32, said on the Wednesday, October 22, episode of costar Joe Ferrucci’s “Table for 1” podcast, reflecting on his pod journey with Annie, 31. “I did really care for her. I truly did. You know, she knows a hell of a lot about me [and] I know a hell of a lot about her. We got very far in the experiment together.”
Brendan and Annie met and connected sight unseen in the Love Is Blind pods, at the same time that the hairstylist was also getting to know her eventual fiancé, Nick Amato. Before Nick, 28, popped the question, Annie broke it off with Brendan after he couldn’t give her certain reassurances about his feelings.
Fans, however, watched Brenden completely crash out when Annie called it quits and proclaimed that he was ready to get down on one knee.
‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9 Reunion Looks: Madison and More Dress to Impress
“I would have liked to have thought that we would have given it a real go,” Brenden said on Wednesday about potentially proposing to Annie. “I don’t really think I’m like Nick and I don’t think Nick’s like me. He’s a great guy, but we’re two totally different people, so I don’t know if that would have worked for Annie or not — and I don’t know if that would have worked for me or not.”
While Brenden can’t definitively say if he and Annie would have made it to the altar, he’s not entirely convinced the pair would have worked in the so-called “real world.”
“From the outside looking in, we probably would not have worked,” he guessed.
Annie’s relationship with Nick also didn’t last either, though, with the luxury watch dealer calling off their engagement due to fundamental differences.
“Getting to the altar, that’s not a happy idea for me,” Nick told Annie on the show. “The wedding is not something I want to do. The reason I’m not willing to marry you is because I am unhappy.”
As for Brenden, he also ended the experiment single and didn’t try to date Annie — or any other LiB castmate — back in Denver.
“I’ve been on some sporadic dates here and there,” Brenden told Joe, 29, of going out in the two years since filming wrapped. “Sometimes, I’ll just stop dating altogether just ‘cause I may not be in the right headspace for it or maybe it’s not the right time.”
He continued, “I went on some dates from time to time, [but] I’m in a place where I do still intentionally date, find my wife and be married.”
‘Love Is Blind’ Creator Defends Season 9 Ending Without Any Marriages
As Brenden continues to search for The One, he revealed that he did briefly reunite with Annie.
“I think we were last together at a group setting not too long after filming had wrapped up,” Brenden said of the last time he crossed paths with his pod ex. “We didn’t really talk that much. I don’t want to say there was a connection or anything, but that was in a group setting. We never one-on-one saw each other.”
The Love Is Blind season 9 reunion airs on Netflix Wednesday, October 29, at 9 p.m. ET.

Most millennials can, for better or worse, clearly recall the time now-president Donald Trump weighed in on Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s breakup scandal — and Jennifer Lawrence is no exception.
“I mean, if you think I didn’t ask him about Donald Trump tweeting about the breakup with Kristen, obviously,” Lawrence, 35, quipped on the Thursday, October 23, episode of The Graham Norton Show, when asked about bonding with Die My Love costar Pattinson, 39.
After fellow guest Jeremy Allen White revealed that he “doesn’t remember that at all,” Lawrence offered further context.
“It was, like, three days after the photos came out with her with, you know, whatever. Young people make mistakes,” Lawrence said. “And Donald Trump was like, ‘He better leave her. He can do better than her,’ going on a huge rant.”
Kristen Stewart’s Dating History: From Robert Pattinson to Dylan Meyer
Pattinson and Stewart, now 35, dated from 2019 to 2013 after playing love interests in the Twilight franchise. Us Weekly exclusively reported in July 2012 that Stewart was seen packing on the PDA with director Robert Sanders, sparking affair and split speculation. The breakup rumors eventually reached then-reality TV star Trump, now 79.
“[Kristen] cheated on him like a dog and will do it again — just watch. He can do much better,” Trump wrote via X at the time.
Stewart has since been vocal about Trump’s apparent hate about her breakup.
“Of course, he had to weigh in on my tarring and feathering. It’s like, ‘What is this 20-year-old who has no idea about life doing to this man?’” Stewart recalled to Rolling Stone in a 2024 profile. “He’s such a little baby.”
After her respective connections with Pattinson and Sanders, Stewart publicly came out as gay during her 2017 appearance on Saturday Night Live.
“I’m a little nervous to be hosting because I know the president’s probably watching, and, um, I don’t think he likes me that much,” she said in her opening monologue at the time, referring to Trump. “Here’s how I know: four years ago I was dating this guy named Robert, and we broke up and we got back together, and for some reason, it made Donald Trump go insane.”
She continued, “The president is not a huge fan of me, which is so OK, because Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re really probably not going to like me now because I’m hosting SNL and I’m, like, so gay, dude.”
Stewart married Dylan Meyer earlier this year, while Pattinson has since moved on with singer Suki Waterhouse. Pattinson and Waterhouse, 33, welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2024.
In addition to his home life with Waterhouse, Pattinson recently teamed up with Lawrence on Die My Love.
“I had my girlfriends over. We were in our pajamas. We were watching Little Women [and] because Rob is one of the girls, he wants to gossip,” Lawrence said on Thursday, revealing how she bonded with Pattinson between takes. “He is one of the girls. So I was like, ‘Come over.’ He’s also like my daughter. He’s a great father, he’s a professional, he shows up on time, but I wouldn’t trust that he, like, put a coat on. He brings out a very maternal [side in me].”

The next stop in the Yellowstone universe is a spinoff starring Luke Grimes’ character, Kayce Dutton.
Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. After finding success on Paramount, creator Taylor Sheridan grew the Yellowstone world with prequels 1883 and 1923.
CBS ordered Y: Marshals, the upcoming show following Kayce as he leaves the Yellowstone ranch to join the U.S. Marshals, after Yellowstone concluded in December 2024.
“Cowboys dont say goodbye, they say see you later,” Grimes wrote via Instagram when the exciting news was announced.
A Guide to ‘Yellowstone’ and Its Many Spinoffs Amid Ongoing Delays
Keep scrolling for everything to know about Y: Marshalls — including possible cameos:
The highly-anticipated series is scheduled to premiere in spring 2026 on CBS as a midseason replacement. It will air on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET.
Spencer Hudnut, who previously worked on SEAL Team, serves as the show’s writer, executive producer and showrunner. Taylor Sheridan is also an executive producer on the project, with CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach previously saying in a statement, “In terms of Taylor’s involvement, we’re still early in the process. He’s a very busy guy, but we’ll take what we can get.”
According to the official synopsis, Y: Marshals follows Kayce leaving “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of U.S. Marshals. While “combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”
Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green are joining Grimes on the new series.
Kebbel, Santos and Means will play Belle, Andrea and Miles, respectively. They are all members of the U.S. Marshals while Cullen plays Harry Gifford, the head of the U.S. Marshals in Montana.
How the New Western TV Shows Differ: ‘Ransom Canyon,’ ‘1923’ and More
Gil Birmingham will officially be back as Thomas Rainwater with Mo Brings Plenty also returning as Mo and Brecken Merrill resuming his gig as Kayce’s son, Tate Dutton.
Kelly Reilly, meanwhile, is the lead of her own spinoff alongside Cole Hauser, which is still in the works. Kevin Costner isn’t expected to return — unless it is in flashback form — after the patriarch of the family died in the final season of Yellowstone. There has also been no word on whether Wes Bentley will appear as Jamie Dutton.
The biggest absence so far has been Kelsey Asbille, who played Kayce’s wife, Monica Dutton, on Yellowstone. She hasn’t been announced as a cast member on Y: Marshals yet.
In the sneak peek for the show, Kayce is seen saying, “I’m changing paths. Trying to find a new beginning.”

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This raised the stakes with more breakups, a conversion and an engagement — but where did each character end up?
The hit Netflix series picked up after Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) decided to give their unlikely romance a real shot. Things were going well until Noah had to leave his congregation because he was passed over for a job due to Joanne being agnostic.
Noah ultimately joined a more free-thinking temple, which took the pressure off Joanne considering whether she should or shouldn’t convert to Judaism. That didn’t last long, however, as a chance eviction led to Joanne realizing that she was ready to move in with Noah — while he thought they were moving too quickly.
This resulted in a major fight in the season 2 finale. Noah and Joanne broke up but were ultimately able to work things out when Noah realized Joanne was his person. Joanne, meanwhile, came to the conclusion that she could see herself converting.
Which ‘Nobody Wants This’ Stars Are — and Aren’t — Returning for Season 2
Not everyone had a similar happy ending by the end of the season, which premiered on Thursday, October 23. Morgan (Justine Lupe) found love with Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed) who turned out to not only be a therapist but her therapist as well.
Despite Joanne’s objections, Morgan continued to date Dr. Andy and they even got engaged. But Morgan couldn’t avoid the red flags and pulled the plug at their engagement party. She also continued to grow closer to Sasha (Timothy Simons), whose marriage to Esther (Jackie Tohn) hit major issues.
Esther spent the entire season questioning whether she was happy. She realized she wasn’t and asked for a break from Sasha but it didn’t seem to be over for good. Elsewhere in season 2, Morgan and Joanne’s mom, Lynn (Stephanie Faracy), was the only one to convert to Judaism so far while Joanne made progress with Noah’s mother, Bina (Tovah Feldshuh).
TV Couples We Need to See in 2025: From ‘Summer I Turned Pretty’ to ‘9-1-1’
“We wanted to end on romance, not religion,” creator Erin Foster told Tudum about the ending. “The romance is him saying, ‘I don’t care what you are, I’m choosing you.’ We don’t really need to hear her saying, ‘Oh, my God, you’re not going to believe this. I’ve been Jewish this entire time.’ Because we know that’s about to happen.”
She added: “She’s trying so hard to see it that she can’t see it. She’s yearning for something to give her structure, purpose, boundaries, values and traditions. Judaism can give her all of those things. … She’s enjoying all these different things about Judaism,” said Foster. “But she keeps thinking God is going to just come down from the sky and be like, ‘And now you’re Jewish!’”
Looking ahead, Noah and Joanne will be at a different place in their relationship.
“It’s not Noah against Joanne,” Bell told Tudum. “It’s Joanne and Noah against the problem, which I think is a great framework to come at any relationship with.”
Nobody Wants This is currently streaming on Netflix.
