Good Morning Britain contributor Narinder Kaur has locked horns with Dan Wootton over his scathing review of Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series – With Love, Meghan.

Tempers flared online as Good Morning Britain’s Narinder Kaur clashed with Dan Wootton after he lambasted Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

Controversial journalist Dan used a segment of his Outspoken podcast to slam the show, stating he “had given up over four hours of my life to watch With Love, Meghan” and went on to deride it as “the worst TV series ever made”.

He also accused Netflix of “producing an atrocity” and pledged to unmask the “tissues of lies” he alleged the Duchess weaves.

Taking his critique to Twitter, he asserted: “Meghan Markle’s shock new lie as we review the WORST TV show in history – Netflix’s With Love, Meghan – so you don’t have to watch it yourself.”

However, Narinder was quick to counter his opinion, writing: “Lies, Dan. I’ve just watched four episodes and without any doubt, Meghan comes across as thoughtful, kind, welcoming, smart, caring and bloody hardworking in that kitchen. She radiates with beauty, and actually – I genuinely didn’t expect to like her this much! She’s a star.”

Dan responded with disbelief, pressing Narinder: “ARE YOU SERIOUS! ? Like actually serious? Give me one example of how she comes across that way… x,” reports the Express.

Narinder stood her ground in the debate, countering: “Yes. Really. In fact, I was going to WhatsApp you and say, ‘Come on Dan, she’s so damn likeable.’ With her friends – she shows sooo much care, she thinks of what THEY like, what their kids would like, she’s so wary of making them feel welcome, she for sure loves cooking and cleaning! No airs and graces. Harry is extremely lucky.”

Meanwhile, Netflix viewers have been voicing their thoughts on the eight-part series that showcases Meghan inviting celebrity pals to her stunning California home. Throughout the show, she dishes out cooking and gardening tips and delves into her past and Royal life with Prince Harry.

Opinions are split, some tagging it “boring” while others call it “soothing” and “feel good”. Fans are chiming in, with one enthused viewer posting: “Okay, I’m not even 30 minutes into episode 1 and I can honestly say #WithLoveMeghan is the best. I needed this show. With all the drama happening here in the US, it’s great to watch a fun, relaxing, peaceful, joyful, informative, great show. Thank you Meghan and Netflix.”

Another chimes in revelling in its “light and warm” vibes, praising Meghan’s “genuine care” for those she hosts.

The Duchess-produced series aims to meld “practical how-tos and candid conversation with friends, new and old”, as described in its press blurb. Initially set for a January release, the show faced delays due to the Los Angeles wildfires.

Denise Welch was quick to set the record straight while appearing on ITV’s This Morning as she spoke about the on-air clashes that often takes place on ITV show Loose Women

Loose Women star Denise Welch has opened up on reported feuds amongst her ITV co-stars as she insisted that they all get along very well.

The 66-year-old actress appeared on ITV’s This Morning on Wednesday (March 5) alongside Loose Morning star Jane Moore.

Discussing their new podcast with presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, the pair went on to share insight on how they’re able to talk about matters in depth and how their new Loose Women audio programme has been a success so far.

But when presenter Cat pointed out how well the women seem to get along despite having on-air clashes, Densise explained that things are often taken out of context.

Cat said: “As a woman watching that show, I love it that you can really disagree and then you’re the best of mates.”

Denise quickly interjected and said: “We never even talk about it off stage, no!” With Jane adding that their conflicts often end up on the “front page of a magazine”.

Former Coronation Street star Denise added: “It’s so ridiculous! I’m 67 this year. If you think I would voluntarily come into a job with a toxic environment, I wouldn’t! I don’t have to and I wouldn’t!

“We have never had a row in all the years that we’ve worked! Me and Carol McGiffin used to have some hong dingers on there but we never talked about when we got off stage. People like to pit women against each other.”

After hearing Denise’s stance, some viewers were left rather unsure, with one writing: “Jeez! Own opinions?? Didn’t Charlene [White] have to give Denise a telling off ‘on-air’ last week over her comments on a subject??”

Another also shared a harsh reaction and penned: “Toxic femininity also exists. You only need to watch Loose Women to see it in action.”

The first episode of Loose Women is available for fans to listen to on ITVX. The synopsis for episode one reads: “In our first episode of Loose Women: The Podcast, Denise Welch and Ayda Field Williams discuss addiction, surrogacy, motherhood and Hollywood crushes!”

Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS) occurs in 36% of twin pregnancies – this is what you should know after the Love Island star spoke out

Reality star Olivia Bowen broke down in tears on Loose Women this week, as she opened up about her difficult pregnancy. The 31-year-old, who shot to fame on Love Island in 2016, was pregnant with twins before suffering from Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS).

As its name suggests, this condition takes place when one twin in a multiple pregnancy disappears, leaving a single embryo behind. It’s a type of miscarriage estimated to occur in 36% of twin pregnancies, with the affected baby absorbed by the surviving twin or the mother’s body.

“Something happened called Vanishing Twin Syndrome,” Olivia said in an emotional segment of the ITV show. “Sorry, I didn’t want to get upset at this bit because I want to get it factually correct, because it is so important.

“…And one of the babies just basically didn’t have a heartbeat, but I’d had no symptoms. I’d had no pain, no bleeding, absolutely nothing to tell me that [this] was what we were walking into. And, I guess from that moment, we were just completely floored.

“We were expecting to have these two little babies, but Vanishing Twin Syndrome, that is what happens. They can, as it says, literally just vanish.”

Olivia and her husband, Alex, found out they were pregnant with twins at the six-week mark before suffering from VTS at eight weeks. During that fortnight, they had started planning everything from bedroom arrangements to car seats, and were devastated to learn of their loss.

“I have twins in my family and as soon as we found it was twins I was already quite nervous,” Olivia explained. “Because we’ve not had a great history of twins in our family. But [Alex] you were so positive, weren’t you?”

Joining the conversation, Alex said: “When you find out that you’re having twins, you kind of like, all these emotions run through your mind and you’re like, ‘Oh my god, how am I going to, like, control another two on top of the one that we’ve got?’

“And then five minutes later I was kind of like, had these scenarios in my mind like, ‘I can’t wait to go on holiday and check in the back of the car, all three kids are playing’. And then yeah, unfortunately, that just got kind of taken away.”

Although Olivia experienced no symptoms of VTS, Cleveland Clinic suggests that light bleeding, cramps, and pain in both the back and pelvis can be a cause for concern. It is commonly caused by irregularities in one twin’s DNA, which hinder its development.

These irregularities are often present at conception and cannot be changed or controlled. “If the embryo disappears in the first trimester, neither you nor your surviving fetus will likely experience any complications,” the clinic explains.

“Your pregnancy will continue as usual…It’s possible to be pregnant with multiples and to miscarry one or more of the embryos before your first pregnancy ultrasound. In this case, neither you nor your provider will know you were pregnant with twins or triplets.”

Olivia and Alex, parents to two-year-old Abel Jacob, are expecting their second child this summer. While the experience has been a ‘rollercoaster of emotions’, Olivia said there is one positive thing she holds on to.

“The one beautiful part of it that I try to hold on to is that they do absorb into your body,” she said. “So, they just gradually go back into your body.

“Those cells become a part of you, and that’s what we’ve sort of been holding on to. But throughout all of this, you know, we’ve got a really healthy little baby in there, that we are so excited to meet.

“But it was just that bittersweet rollercoaster of emotions that I never expected. And I know miscarriages are common – one in four – but this for twin pregnancies, triplet pregnancies, it’s up to 35%. It’s a big number.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has shared insight of how she feels now after being released on parole for the death of her mother

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has opened up on her heartbreaking regret as she spoke candidly on her “lifelong sentence”.

The 33-year-old rose to prominence when she was convicted of second-degree murder for the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard after being subjected to physical, mental and medical abuse directly caused by her mum.

Gypsy’s story captivated TV audiences when it was documented on a number of television shows and movies.

Speaking on ITV’s Loose Women from the US, Gypsy, who committed the murder alongside her partner at the time, gave an update on how her life has been since she was paroled in late December 2023 after serving eight years in prison.

Gypsy spoke on Loose Women

“I wish I had gone through other avenues that are forever a lifelong regret, but unfortunately, hindsight is twenty-twenty, so I can change the past.

Loose Women star Jane Moore then asked: “Do you feel guilt now at your involvement in your mother’s murder?”

Gypsy replied: “Of course! Of course, I have to live with that every single day, and that’s a lifelong sentence. I might have served eight and eight and a half years in prison, but that is a lifelong sentence for me.”

Gypsy spoke about her regrets and said she wished she took a different route
When asked if she felt like “there was no other way out”, Gypsy responded: “That is correct, at the time I was very, very sheltered in my life so the avenues in which I cognitively thought to reach out, my mum had told me a lot of lies about my father so I didn’t turn to him for help because I thought he didn’t love me, that’s what my mum led me to believe

“I grew up with a mum that basically made me fearful of strangers so I felt like the only person I could confide in was my co-defendant. I wish I would have gone through other avenues, that is forever a lifelong regret but unfortunately hindsight’s twenty-twenty so I can’t change the past.”

Loose Women stars quizzed her on her regretNear the end of her chat with the Loose Women, she then said: “I never wanted to villainise my mum, I never approved of her being villainized.

“All I ever did was share my story, and unfortunately, the sins of her past put that label on her. I, however, don’t feel she was evil.

“I feel like she would have needed mental help and I think with that knowledge, we need to shift the narrative of putting her in a box. I think that more mental health awareness, of Munchausen by Proxy, needs to be advocated for.”

Loose Women star Christine Lampard has opened up about her husband Frank’s intelligence, revealing some surprise facts about the ex-footballer

Christine Lampard made a surprise admission about her husband Frank during Wednesday’s (5 March) episode of Loose Women. The TV presenter was back on the panel for another instalment of the daytime show, with her footballer husband being brought up in conversation.

The panel discussed Frank’s intelligence, questioning if Christine is as clever as her husband. The topic arose after it was revealed Frank once took an IQ test and scored very high.

“When he was playing at Chelsea, they made all of the players do an IQ test. It was actually just a foundation kind of IQ measurement in case there was a head injury playing the sport, so they could do another test later on,” Christine explained to her co-stars.

The TV star opened up about her husband on Loose Women
She admitted: “He completed smashed it. He did brilliantly in it. Some big high score. Mensa almost picking up the phone!”

Christine’s co-star Denise Welch then brought up Frank’s GCSE results, revealing she’d previously been informed that he achieved an A* in Latin and completed the qualification a year before his peers.

“Yes he’s got an A* in Latin,” Christine said, jokingly rolling her eyes. “I am joking. He is good at working things out. I understand why he does well on these kind of tests.”

Frank, who is now the head coach at Coventry City FC, has an IQ of 150, putting him in the top one to two percent of the country. He has previously opened up about taking the test during his time at Chelsea, revealing the opportunity arose after his team mate John Terry suffered concussion in 2007.

He told the Coventry Telegraph: “I just breezed it. I was at Chelsea and it was in the aftermath of JT getting kicked in the head in the Carabao Cup final. Our doctor, who was Brian English at the time, made us do IQ tests to get us a base level of IQ so we could be registered again if you have a concussion or a head injury.”

Asked about his high score, he said: “Other people were more interested in it than me, to be fair. I’m quite proud of it. It just beat my wife, Christine, which was the best thing about it. She was just below me. I don’t know the exact numbers. I think she’s around the same.”

Harrowing audio has emerged of the 911 call from the caretaker who found the pair dead

HOLLYWOOD legend Gene Hackman may have suddenly collapsed after cops investigating his tragic death found a number of worrying clues.

The 95-year-old actor, his wife Betsy Arakawa, 65, and one of their dogs were all found dead on Wednesday afternoon with their cause of death remaining a mystery.

A warrant on Thursday determined the couple’s deaths were “suspicious enough to require a thorough search and investigation”.

Gene was discovered fully clothed in a wet room off the kitchen with his cane laid out next to him, according to the warrant.

Deputies believe the placement of the walking aid on the ground points towards the film star suffering a potential fall.

It is still unclear what may have caused Gene – who was described by many as remarkably fit and active for a man of his age – to collapse by himself.

Cops are also still trying to establish whether the couple’s deaths were caused by the same thing.

It comes as their bodies were found in separate rooms inside their $3.8million Santa Fe home.

Betsy was discovered on the bathroom floor near to a space heater.

Her body was said to have been found in a state of partial “mummification”.

But experts have since suggested the detective who first used the term “mummification” likely meant that the decomposition process had just advanced significantly.

The couple may have died up to two weeks ago, officials said.

It reportedly took an agonising 12 hours to formally identify the pair due to the length of time they were left undiscovered.

Deputies are currently looking into whether the space heater could have fallen onto Betsy and knocked her onto the ground.

A prescription bottle of pills was located near to the 65-year-old classical pianist, cops later announced.

Many tablets were scattered across the floor, they added.

Investigators made a further grim discovery after locating the body of one of the couple’s German shepherds inside a bathroom closet just 10ft away from Betsy.

Two other dogs managed to be safely removed from the property, police added.

Officers also found a door to the home open but no sign of forced entry, according to an affidavit.

A suicide note wasn’t found, while no obvious signs of external trauma were found on their bodies, according to early autopsy results.

Carbon monoxide and toxicology tests are still pending, officials added.

It could still take up to six weeks for any answers to emerge, Chris Ramirez, spokesperson for the New Mexico medical investigator’s office, told The Sun.

Cops are yet to rule out any possibility related to the tragic triple death, Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza said to TMZ.

He said double homicide, suicide, accidental death or natural causes are all being considered.

It comes as Gene’s youngest daughter has revealed she hadn’t spoken to her dad for months before his tragic death.

Leslie, 59, has lived in California for some time and said the long distance between her home and Gene’s New Mexico mansion meant they hadn’t seen each other recently.

She added that her father was notoriously reclusive in his later years but always remained in good health thanks to Betsy.

Leslie joined sister Elizabeth for breakfast on Thursday morning as they were spotted for the first time since Gene and their stepmum Betsy were found dead.

The heartbroken siblings were seen getting out of a grey SUV and walking into breakfast chain Denny’s in Burbank, California.

The pair were joined by Hackman’s granddaughter Annie in leaving a touching tribute to their beloved dad and grandpa after his death was confirmed.

They released a statement which read: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy.

“He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa.

“We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss.”

REMARKABLE CAREER

Gene Hackman’s career took off with his role as Buck Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde in 1967.

He went on to star in the Superman films and appeared in hits like Mississippi Burning, Unforgiven, Crimson Tide, and The Poseidon Adventure.

In 1972, he earned the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in The French Connection.

Hackman received a second Academy Award in 1993, winning Best Supporting Actor for his role as Little Bill Daggett in the western Unforgiven, alongside Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Anna Thomson.

The film won four Oscars, including Best Picture.

Over his illustrious career, Hackman appeared in over 100 films.

He was nominated for five Academy Awards, won two Oscars, earned two BAFTA nominations, and received three Golden Globe awards.

The chaotic moment sent the entire crew into immediate ‘panic’ as the set was forced to abruptly power down

D’ARCY Carden accidentally shut down her Celebrity Jeopardy! taping and terrified host Ken Jennings after she ‘broke’ the show’s famed buzzer, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.

Just moments after the host boasted about how the buzzer had never been broken by a contestant in all of Jeopardy!’s history, the crucial set piece to the game was severed.

On tonight’s episode of the celebrity spinoff, D’Arcy, 45, put up her best trivia knowledge to play for charity to benefit Americares – which helps people around the world impacted by crises and various disasters.

The winner of tonight’s episode goes on to the next round of the tournament in hopes of earning $1 million for the charity of their choice – while those who lost still get to take back $30,000 for their organization.

The Good Place actress went up against Marvel actor Sean Gunn and Good Trouble star Sherry Cola.

Guardians of the Galaxy star Sean competed for Women for Women International, which helps women rebuild their lives and graduate from their program with “life-changing skills.”

While Sherry played for Teach AAPI – which creates space and opportunities for all children to learn about Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures and stories.

The taping of Wednesday’s game began as normal – with the trio of celebrities zipping through the categories as Sean, 50, accurately guessed most answers to get an early lead.

However, it was during a commercial break when things began to take a chaotic turn, a source present at the time told The U.S. Sun.

During one break, Ken, 50, addressed the studio audience for a Q&A where he gives fans the opportunity to ask him any question.

According to an insider, one attendee asked Ken if any contestant had ever broken the buzzer that is crucial to each player’s game – as it is the difference between getting an opportunity to answer the clue or not.

Ken proudly responded that during his entire time hosting Jeopardy!, “no one” had ever broken the buzzer or had it not work.

He answered a few other questions and resumed hosting the game – which continued into its Double Jeopardy! round.

Just moments later, the game was forced to come to an abrupt halt after D’Arcy broke her buzzer.

Sherry had just found a Daily Double and as the clue popped up on screen, D’Arcy interrupted and yelled out to announce to Ken, producers, and the entire studio that her buzzer was broken.

The red button to the buzzer had physically fallen off, according to the source, resulting in immediate panic on stage.

“There was a huge amount of stress as that’s never happened before. The producers had to turn off the power to all the screens and the lights.

“They shut everything down and Ken looked very stressed. Producers ran up on stage and huddled around D’Arcy in a desperate attempt to fix the buzzer.

“Producers even shuffled the contestants away from the podium. They took the matter extremely seriously,” the source claimed.

Jeopardy! Universe

Jeopardy! first aired in 1964 until 1975. Then the nighttime version began in 1974. Since then, many spinoffs of the game show have emerged. Here they all are:

Jeopardy! – (syndicated) 1974 to present, weekdays on ABC at 7 pm ET.

Tournament of Champions – 1984 to present, features the top champions who have appeared on the show since the last tournament.

Second Chance Tournament – 2022 to present features hand-selected non-winners from the season prior, where the prize is entry into Champions Wildcard.

Champions Wildcard – 2023 to present, features all one, two and three-day champions from the season prior worth entry into the Tournament of Champions.

Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament (syndication) – 2023 to present, features past greats invited by producers to vie for a slot in Masters.

Jeopardy! Masters (primetime) – 2023 to present, features the six highest-ranked Jeopardy! champions competing against each other.

Celebrity Jeopardy! (primetime) – 1992 to present, has celebrities compete against each other to raise money for charity.

Pop Culture Jeopardy (streaming) – 2024 to present, will feature teams of three tasked with pop culture trivia on Amazon Prime, hosted by Colin Jost, airdate TBD

Jeopardy! has done away with specialized tournaments like its College Tournaments, Kids Week, and Professor’s Tournament to gear towards a more sports-like model, with Masters being the top of the Jeopardy pyramid.

Other versions of Jeopardy! have fizzled out throughout the years as well, like Sports Jeopardy!.

After about five minutes of attempting to fix the set piece, the button was finally put back on the same buzzer and the game was able to continue.

The game picked up where it left off – with Sherry answering the Daily Double she found just before disaster struck and the blunder was edited out – not making it to air.

It was Sean who played the most dominant game – getting the most amount of answers correct and maintaining his lead throughout the episode.

The action star came out on top – advancing to the next round.

Sherry ended up in second while D’arcy came in third place.

Although their Celebrity Jeopardy! run came to an end, both ladies were able to bring back $30,000 each for their respective charities.

The couple had seemingly been dead for over a week when they were tragically discovered

A GAS leak was found in Gene Hackman’s mansion – but it was “minuscule” and couldn’t have killed the star, his wife or dog.

Hackman, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found dead alongside one of their beloved dogs on February 26.

Following thorough investigation, the New Mexico Gas Company made “no significant findings” of gas leaks or carbon monoxide in the home, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the Daily Mail.

But the gas company did issue five “red tags” – including one for the minor leak at the stove burner which registered “0.03 per cent gas in the air”.

But this is considered to “not be a lethal amount”.

Police said: “The other four red tags were for code enforcement violations – not involving gas leaks or carbon monoxide – involving a water heater and gas log lighters installed in three fireplaces.”

The longtime couple’s bodies were discovered by a neighborhood caretaker who placed a frantic 911 call after seeing the dead pair unmoving through the windows of their sprawling mansion.

However, there were no obvious wounds on either of them, launching an investigation into the mysterious deaths as they had seemingly been dead for over a week.

Arakawa had signs of mummification on her hands and feet, cops said in a search warrant after they found her lying in the bathroom of her home with pills from an open prescription bottle scattered on the counter.

The classical pianist was found 10 to 15 feet away from one of the couple’s three dogs, deceased, which cops noted as bizarre as the other two dogs were found alive and healthy in the house.

The dog found dead in the bathroom of the couple’s home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was 12-year-old Zinna, a reddish Australian Kelpie mixed breed, according to USA Today.

However, cops first named the dog as the couple’s German Shepherd Bear.

HEARTBREAKING MYSTERY

Cops found the beloved actor and his wife in their home on the afternoon of February 26.

Officials later found the couple had likely been dead for over nine days after Hackman’s last recorded activity on his Pacemaker was on February 17.

Cops found Hackman in a mudroom with his cane and sunglasses near his body.

Police noted the legendary actor looked like he fell to the ground suddenly.

Gene Hackman’s family’s full statement

Gene Hackman’s family has spoken out on the actor’s death after he was found dead with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, in their Santa Fe home.

Hackman’s daughters, Elizabeth and Leslie, and his granddaughter, Annie, released the statement.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy,” Elizabeth, Leslie, and Annie Hackman said.

“He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa.

“We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss.”

Hackman’s three children from his first marriage released a statement in the wake of the actor’s death.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy,” Hackman’s daughters and granddaughter said in a statement.

“He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa.

“We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss.”

Hackman was a two-time Oscar winner and five-time nominee after an impressive career spanning four decades.

Hackman and Arakawa’s causes of death have not yet been determined.

SFCSO Sheriff Adam Mendoza said it could take months to reveal the actual cause of death.

Vance’s family revealed the 20-year-old died of a heart attack brought on by severe dehydration

More details about the tragic death of 20-year-old bodybuilder Jodi Vance have been revealed.

TMZ Sports obtained 911 audio from a call Vance’s wife made while in their hotel room in Columbus, Ohio, during the Arnold Sports Festival.

During the call, the woman told Columbus Police Vance had “passed out in bed” and added she had been “throwing up all morning” before going unconscious.

“She won’t wake up and won’t respond to us,” the woman told the 911 operator.

The woman was told help was on the way, but Vance died of a heart attack brought on by severe dehydration, her family announced.

Vance’s family used her fitness Instagram page to deliver the news of her death.

“Her heart stopped due to complications of severe dehydration,” the post on Vance’s Instagram page said. “Despite all efforts by the hospital, they were unable to revive her.

“She was a beautiful person inside and out, and she will be missed every single day. This was sudden and unexpected. Please give her family time to process this loss in peace. If anyone takes anything from this, please put your health first.”

Justin Mihaly, Vance’s coach, claimed in an Instagram video he knew the reason behind the severe dehydration, which led to the fatal heart attack, “extremely hazardous substances.”

Vance’s family delivered the news of her death on her fitness page on Instagram. (Fox News)

“Jodi made a serious error,” Mihaly said in the video. “Jodi used two extremely hazardous substances to improve her physique — I assume just for the Arnold Expo — without my knowledge, my approval, without family’s knowledge, their approval. … There is no reason that she should have been dehydrating.”

Mihaly said he had consent from Vance’s mother, Jenny, to post the Instagram video explaining what he believed led to the severe dehydration.

“You are welcome to direct your blame towards me if that’s how you believe we can best honor Jodi,” Mihaly continued in the video.

Vance recently placed third in the 2024 NPC Battle of Texas in the women’s physique division.

Vance used her fitness page to show her physical progress, while also providing motivational quotes for her followers.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she wrote: “I rarely address rumors or conspiracies regarding myself or my family, but this is about my child and it feels wrong to let anyone think for a second that these lies are remotely true. They are not.

“Mason does not have a child. These accounts that pretend to be him are definitely not. They are FAKE.

“My son really values his privacy, and I am asking all media to please, be respectful: he is a kid with feelings and a beautiful life ahead of him. Please stop spreading false narratives and spinning lies.

“And to all the other people making videos about my kids (who, by the way, are minors), please stop and leave them alone.”

The statement comes after social media was flooded with claims that Mason had become a father, largely fueled by accounts falsely claiming to be him.

Screenshots from an alleged “secret Instagram” account under the usernames “masonddsh” and “masonsecrety” were widely circulated online.

In one exchange, a follower asked the account, “Pic of Piper?” and was met with photos of an infant.

Another user asked, “Did you have a baby?” to which the account allegedly replied, “yea I did.”

Other messages appeared to reference the supposed pregnancy, with a fan asking, “They didn’t kick you out when you had Piper?”

The account stated, “Piper doesn’t count. I was forced to do that so it’s not my fault she was created.”

When somebody else asked: “who is Piper?” the account replied: “failed protection.”

Another response read: “fr ik the older she gets the more she looks like me.”

Screenshots of the posts were initially shared on Reddit before being deleted.

Some users questioned their authenticity, while others speculated that the Kardashian family had them removed.

“I saw it too! It was crazy because he was saying he was forced and that it was failed protection,” one Reddit user commented.

Another added: “I wouldn’t put it past the Kardashians to pull every string imaginable to get it completely scrubbed off the internet. Mason knocking someone up at 13!? The scandal. They would never admit it.”

Others dismissed the claims as a hoax, writing, “It doesn’t seem like it’s his real account,” while another commented, “They’re just messing with everyone.”

Mason Living Out of the Spotlight

Mason Disick is only 14 years old and has had a lot of media attention placed on him because of his famous family. Now, that Kourtney’s son is on social media, he will be in the spotlight more. Here is what has been said about Mason living a private life and not wanting to join social media.

In October 2022, Kourtney opened up about her son on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.

The mother-of-three was asked what fans misperceive about her lifestyle.

“I see comments all the time that I’m never with my kids. And I just don’t love to post my kids on social media. They don’t love it, sometimes they do,” she said.

“Like Mason doesn’t love it feel like,” host Amanda Hirsch replied.

“He does not like it. He doesn’t want any part of it. He’s not on social media. He doesn’t love it, and I want my kids to be kids. I crave normalcy as much as we can have it,” Kourtney replied.

Before Mason joined Instagram in May 2024, Kourtney shared very few photos of her first born.

He also has never appeared on their reality shows.

Mason, who is the eldest of Kardashian’s three children with her ex-partner Scott Disick, moved in with his father two years ago.

Scott has previously opened up about guiding his son through dating.

He said on Khloe Kardashian’s Khloé in Wonderland podcast: “Recently, he’s starting to really like girls. And obviously, girls like him.”

The TV personality added that he advises Mason: “You can do whatever you want, but just don’t lie and don’t manipulate any girls.

“If a girl tells you she maybe wants to do something with you, like hook up and whatever, if she knows you’re not in a relationship with her, don’t tell her you are just to get something out of her.”

Scott said Mason took the advice seriously, recalling how he overheard him on the phone telling someone, “We can, but we’re friends.”

The Flip It Like Disick star added: “Honesty’s the best policy, but back in our day, it wasn’t so easy.”
