Lauren Burnham Reveals Why She Doesn’t Like ‘Call Her Daddy’ Host Alex Cooper: ‘Took It Too Far’

Lauren Burnhamis clarifying why she’s not a huge fan of “Call Her Daddy” podcast hostAlex Cooper.

Posting viaher TikTok accounton Friday, May 1,The Bacheloralum, 34, said she wanted to “clear the air” and “give you the short and not-so-sweet information” about why she had a strong dislike for Cooper.

Burnham says the beef stems from when the “Call Her Daddy” podcast previously had a recurring segment to make fun of her then-unborn daughter Alessi, 6, whom she shares with husbandArie Luyendyk Jr.(The couple are also parentsto 4-year-old twins Senna and Lux and 7-month-old daughter Livvy.)

“They had this regular segment ongoing and they thought it would be funny to make fun of our unborn baby,” Burnham explained.

Burnham said she didn’t care if she and her husband were mocked, but her unborn child was crossing a line.

“Make fun of us, don’t care. But they took it too far. They made a regular segment before she was born and after she was born where they were sexualizing our child and talking very inappropriately and disgustingly about her,” Burnham added.

The reality TV alum said the comments reached the point that she and Luyendyk considered taking legal action against Cooper but ultimately chose not to.

“We thought it would blow over. She just kept going on forever. Eventually she stopped and we kind of forgot about it and now that it’s resurfacing again, it still makes me so furious,” Burnham added. “I just hope that all of this controversy that’s hanging around her right now causes her to rethink the level that she is willing to stoop to to get attention, views, whatever it is that she’s looking for because it’s not okay and that’s all I have to say about that.”

Us Weeklyreached out to Cooper’s representative for comment.

Alix Earle Responds to Alex Cooper’s Request to Air Their Drama Publicly: ‘On It!’

Burnham previously spoke about her fury over the comments during an episode of the “Unplanned” podcast in 2023.

“I was really upset because they would mention her and then make inappropriate comments right after. It was so classless,” she said at the time.

Burnham continued, “Arie was like, ‘Don’t do anything about it.’ I was about to hire a lawyer. Honestly, they should be in big trouble for doing that. It’s not OK. I never said anything because he felt like if we addressed it publicly, it would only make it bigger. That’s what they want.”

Earlier this week,Burnham declaredshe was throwing her support behindAlix Earleamid the influencer'sdrama with Cooper.

“Team @alixearle all the way,” Burnham wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, April 30. “It’s about time Alex Cooper gets called out. & yes, it's personal.”

Why Pete Davidson & Elsie Hewitt’s Split Is Imminent — Source

Pete DavidsonandElsie Hewitt‘s relationship might lead to a breakup, a source claimed. They mentioned that the couple has reportedly been facing trouble in paradise. For those unversed, the duo seemingly started dating in March last year and soon moved in together. In July, they announced that they were expecting their first child. Since their daughter’s birth, the new parents have portrayed a happy family picture online. However, the latest report hinted at a different story.

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt’s relationship has ‘reached ‘the point of no return,’ per source

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt’s relationship might not be all roses and sunshine. Although they looked like a perfect family in public, a source told theDaily Mailthat the couple could be on the verge of breaking up. They claimed that the celebrity pair’s friends were “not surprised” about the duo’s relationship trouble.

“This is what he ends up doing always. She was also warned well ahead of time in their relationship to be careful with him, because Pete loves to self-sabotage a good thing,” the insider claimed. Furthermore, they mentioned that Davidson allegedly has “insecurities” that he might try to cover up with “humor.” According to the couple’s pals, the comedian and Hewitt “rushed into the relationship.”

Moreover, the source highlighted that Davidson and his girlfriend are now parents. “They are trying to figure out the next steps as they want to be together for their kid, but it just might not be their endgame,” they said.

Meanwhile, another insider claimed that the couple might not have “fully broken up, but it is absolutely leading to it.” However, the 32-year-old actor would allegedly not want to end this relationship. Reportedly, he would like his daughter, Scottie Rose, to have a “luxury of having a complete family.”

“Whether or not [their relationship] will continue is something we will know relatively quickly. Many expect that they are at the point of no return,” they concluded.

Texans sign Pro Bowl LB Azeez Al-Shaair to 3-year extension that'll keep him in Houston through 2029

HOUSTON (AP) — Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair will remain with the Houston Texans through the 2029 season after signing a three-year extension this week.

Texans Al-Shaair Football

The Texans didn’t release terms of the deal when they announced it Friday, but it is reportedly worth $54 million.

“Truthfully, I just wanted to be authentically myself and I always felt like if I got the opportunity to be at a place and show everybody who I was, then things would go well for the team and myself,” he said. “I’m grateful for that.”

His deal comes on the heels ofdefensive end Will Andersonsigning a three-year, $150 million contract extension with the Texans that makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history

Al-Shaair has spent the last two seasons with the Texans, appearing in 27 games with 173 tackles, eight tackles for losses, two sacks, 13 passes defensed, two interceptions and three forced fumbles.

Last season, he was selected for his first Pro Bowl after making 16 starts for a defense that allowed the fewest yards in the NFL (277.2 per game) and averaged the second-fewest points allowed (17.4) in the regular season.

Al-Shaair joined the Texans after spending the 2023 season with the Titans. He was an undrafted free agent who spent his first four seasons in San Francisco, where he appeared in 56 games and had 199 tackles and 11 tackles for losses.

Al-Shaair was honored for his off-field work last season when he was named Houston’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award recipient. He supports numerous charities that support homeless youth after experiencing homelessness growing up after his family’s home was destroyed in a fire.

Al-Shaair said Friday that his mother didn’t want him to play football as a child because she didn’t want him to get hurt. He begged her and made a promise that he has since fulfilled.

“We were staying in a motel at the time, (and I said) ‘I promise you, if you let me play football I’m going to make it to the NFL, I’ll take care of our family one day,’” he said. “I had no clue if I was ever actually going to be able to do it or not. I never saw it done. ... So, to sit here years and years later, to be actually living that out, is absolutely amazing.”

Short-handed Wolves pull away from Nuggets, seal series in Game 6

Elevated into the starting lineup of a heavily depleted backcourt, Terrence Shannon Jr. scored a career-playoff-high 24 points to help the Minnesota Timberwolves close out the Denver Nuggets 110-98 in Game 6 of a first-round playoff series on Thursday in Minneapolis.

The sixth-seeded Timberwolves advance to face the second-seeded Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, with Game 1 scheduled for Monday in San Antonio.

Minnesota was already down All-NBA guard Anthony Edwards (knee) and his starting perimeter counterpart, Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles), when Ayo Dosunmu was announced as a scratch shortly before tipoff of Game 6. Dosunmu, a hero in Game 4 with 43 points, was held out on Thursday due to a calf injury.

Veteran Kyle Anderson was also crossed off the Minnesota lineup on Thursday because of an illness, contributing to a rash of absences that necessitated Shannon -- who did not play in the first three games of the series -- entering the starting lineup.

He stepped up, capping his 9-of-20 performance shooting from the field with a crucial three-point play that ignited a game-ending 10-1 run for the Timberwolves.

With Minnesota nursing a 100-97 lead, Shannon penetrated into the lane and scored against contact from Jamal Murray with a scooping layup. He made the subsequent free throw with 1:43 to go.

After Cameron Johnson split a pair of free throws on the other end, Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels -- who scored a game-high 32 points -- connected on a pull-up mid-range jumper.

McDaniels' shot served as a backbreaker for third-seeded Denver, with the crowd erupting as the Timberwolves opened up an eight-point lead with 1:07 left. The bucket put an exclamation mark on a dominant final five minutes in which the Timberwolves did not allow the Nuggets a made field goal.

"Jaden McDaniels, he talked all series and he backed it up all series," Minnesota head coach Chris Finch said. "That's called legitimate tough. He not only led us tonight [in] scoring, but [Jamal] Murray was 4-for-17 tonight [and] I don't think he scored on Jaden the whole game. That's what you want."

Denver trailed much of the way and never led in the second half but remained within a single-digit-point margin until the final minute. Nikola Jokic helped keep the Nuggets within striking distance, finishing with team highs in points (28), assists (10) and rebounds (nine).

Johnson added 27 points and shot 5 of 10 from 3-point range, but the Nuggets struggled to find consistent offense elsewhere. Murray was limited to 12 points on 4-of-17 shooting from the floor.

"They were just better in every aspect," Jokic said.

The same aggressive Minnesota defense that kept Murray in check frustrated Jokic in the second half, boiling over when he got into a shoving match with Timberwolves reserve guard Jaylen Clark early in the fourth quarter. Naz Reid pushed Jokic from behind, resulting in all three players receiving technical fouls.

Jokic remained in the lineup despite a chorus of "kick him out" chants from the home crowd.
