Original title: Fox, Skip Bayless Settle Sexual Misconduct Lawsuit From Hairstylist A lawsuit against Fox Sports from a hairstylist accusing longtime talk show host Skip Bayless and network executive Charlie Dixon of making unwanted sexual advances has settled. Noushin Faraji moved on Thursday to dismiss claims for sexual battery, hostile work environment and retaliation, among others, with her lawyers proceeding with the prospective class action over failure to pay minimum wage on behalf of other workers. Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed. “We are pleased that this matter has been resolved,” said Fox in a statement. “There will be no further comment.” Earlier this year, Faraji accused Bayless of offering her $1.5 million for sex and Dixon of groping her at a 2017 birthday party for Joy Taylor. She alleged Fox terminated her at Dixon’s direction for disclosing information about his sexual relationships with network employees. The lawsuit pointed to a “toxic culture at Fox, marked by bad faith promises and repeated failures to address a poisonous and entrenched ...

Original title: How ‘The Hunting Wives’ Made It to Netflix (From Starz) and the Status of Season 2 [This story contains major spoilers from the season finale of The Hunting Wives.] Upper class Texan women who like to shoot guns, drink and hit the party circuit — and who maybe kill people — are having a moment thanks to The Hunting Wives. The Netflix series from creator Rebecca Cutter that stars Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow needs little introduction by now. The Hunting Wives hit a new milestone last week when it became the most-viewed streaming series in the U.S., after hanging out in the Netflix Top 10 for more than a month following its July 21 release. But the binge-y, erotic crime thriller wasn’t always at Netflix. Cutter, who created Starz drama Hightown, was initially making The Hunting Wives also for Starz. The cable network’s tagline is “We’re All Adults Here,” which explains how the racy series — complete with more nudity, sex, violence and politics than you might expect from a typical Netflix offering — ended up at the streaming giant. Heading into Starz’s split from Lio ...

Original title: David Jonsson on Mentoring Young Filmmakers With BAFTA: “We Can’t Expect Them to Make It to the Table — Odds Are There Aren’t Enough Seats” David Jonsson is beaming with pride as he sits down to talk to The Hollywood Reporter. It’s late August and the in-demand British actor has come to a local school in rural England to counsel the next generation of film creatives. He’s teamed up with BAFTA and EE for a new initiative, Set the Stage, where 16 teens have been selected to form a crew and produce a short film under the mentorship of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Jonsson, 2025’s recipient of BAFTA’s EE Rising Star Award. “I’m relatively quite shy,” the Rye Lane and Alien: Romulus star says to THR. “I feel like I don’t really have anything of use to say most of the time. But it’s just not true. And I think Set the Stage and their initiative with BAFTA and EE, it’s just so pivotal in getting the opportunities that I got as a kid that really helped me go: ‘Oh man, I can do this.’” It’s this experience that made it a no-brainer when Jonsson was asked to get involved with Set the Stage. The hand-picked group of 17-year-olds are on site a ...

Original title: Sabrina Carpenter Says ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Album Cover Is “a Metaphor” In the wake of the release of Man’s Best Friend, Sabrina Carpenter is still defending the album’s controversial cover art. After Carpenter debuted the cover for her seventh studio album in June, some critiqued the image, which depicts the singer on her knees in a black dress as a man stands out-of-shot, clutching onto her hair. It sparked a conversation about sex-positive feminism, though Carpenter admitted in a profile with Interview Magazine on Tuesday that “the reaction [to the album cover] is fascinating to me.” “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t do anything anticipating what the reaction will be,” she said. “When I came up with the imaging for [Man’s Best Friend], it was so clear to me what it meant. So the reaction is fascinating to me. You just watch it unravel and go, ‘wow.’” Interview editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg further questioned Carpenter’s reaction to the negative reception of the album art, asking “when there’s all this controversy and people are screaming abo ...

Original title: Disney to Pay $10 Million in FTC Settlement Over Collecting Children’s Personal Data on YouTube Disney has agreed to pay $10 million to settle a lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission accusing it of illegally collecting personal data from children on YouTube. The agency challenged the entertainment giant’s mislabeling of certain videos made for youngsters, which allowed it to serve targeted ads. The deal opens the door for similar payouts from big entertainment companies that may have also failed to specifically designate their content on YouTube as made for children. In a statement, a company spokesperson said the settlement doesn’t involve Disney-owned and operated platforms and is “limited to the distribution of some of our content” on YouTube. “Disney has a long tradition of embracing the highest standards of compliance with children’s privacy laws, and we remain committed to investing in the tools needed to continue being a leader in this space,” the rep added. The FTC alleged violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the central law protecting youngster ...
