Furthermore, she has also revealed how content she is on her life. She stated, “Sometimes we can’t see the bigger picture and what may or may not be for us and in this situation, clearly it wasn’t a place for me to be in any longer, and I’m OK with that… I’m happy for myself because I chose my self-worth. I stood up for myself and walked away from something that wasn’t serving me any longer.”
It has been almost two years since the popular couple broke up. Many fans, media, and their close ones were in shock by the news and couldn’t believe it until it became true.
Why did Crystal Renay and Ne-Yo get divorced?
Although at first Renay and her husband did not reveal why they were separating, she finally hinted that he had been cheating on her for several years.
In July 2022, she posted on Instagram with the caption, “8 years of lies and deception.” She also revealed he was cheating on her with several women and even had several unprotected sex.

In an Instagram post, she exclusively revealed the following details, “8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them!.”
Even before she revealed these details, the couple was already on the verge of separating. During their divorce trial, she did not talk, but her husband gave some context behind the divorce.
He appeared in the Private Talk Podcast with Alexis Texas and revealed that they were going through a divorce, which was for the best for both.
He also admitted, “It’s slowly but surely becoming public knowledge that my wife and I have decided to get a divorce. It’s not a sad thing, it’s more of us realizing long story short, she’s got demons just like everybody else, just like me. We realize that our demons don’t mesh and until both of us get a hold of our demons, it’s gonna be just difficult for us to stay married.”
At the time, he also revealed that he did not want to talk wrong about her and that she was an excellent mother and an excellent woman who excelled at everything. However, during their divorce process, when cheating allegations surfaced, he started denying the allegations. When asked by the media he stated he would deal with the accusations behind closed doors for his and his children’s sake.
On January 26, 2023, their divorce was finalized completely. After that, TMZ got an exclusive report on the details of their settlements. It was also revealed that he would pay her ex-wife a lump sum of $1.6 million, $20,000 in moving expenses, $12,000 per month in child support, and $150,000 in the purchase of a new car.
She will also keep one of his four houses, and she was granted the majority of their children’s custody. She will also receive $5000 per month of alimony for the next three years.
After the news was revealed about his settlement, many media and fans believed she must have hard evidence he was cheating on her. Hence, he might have agreed to this settlement in exchange for not disclosing the proof to the media.
Christina Renay and Ne-Yo’s dating history
Renay and her former husband first started dating in 2014. At first, they kept the relationship hidden from the media and fans as they did not want to reveal all their private stuff. In the interview, he admitted that being straight to her was the key to winning her heart.
He revealed that there wasn’t any beating around the bush. He told her she was beautiful and smart and wanted to know if she could handle any fame. He also asked her to reveal everything about herself, including her past relationships and why men she previously dated left her.
According to him, she did that and also revealed everything she did not like about him and wanted him to change. He thought the conversation at first was uncomfortable, but he never lost hope. After that conversation, there was no need to impress anyone as the first date turned into a second, third, and more.
Just a year after their first date, she revealed on her Twitter that she was expecting a child. He also shared publicly about her, revealing he was about to be a father. At the same time, they also got engaged, which he shared with his fans on his Twitter account.
He tweeted, “Clearing the air..@mscrystalrenay and I are ENGAGED to be married next year. And yes we are expecting” with the hashtag #FromTheHorsesMouth. This tweet cleared all the rumors from the artist and their fans thought they were in a healthy relationship.
In February 2016, the pair tied the knot in a huge ceremony among their loved ones, families, and friends. Currently, the couple is co-parenting three children: Shaffer Chimere Jr., 7, Roman Alexander-Raj, 5, and Isabella Rose, 2.
James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman reboot is set to hit theaters on July 11, but the buzz leading up to the release has taken a political turn. In a recent interview, Gunn described Superman as “an immigrant’s immigrant,” reinforcing the character’s longstanding metaphor for hope, kindness, and the American dream. But this framing hasn’t sat well with everyone.
Right-wing commentators and political figures have criticized the film for what they perceive as a “woke” reinterpretation of the superhero. Among them, Fox News contributors and conservative commentators have taken aim at the film, calling it overly ideological. Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway even predicted it would “bomb worse than Snow White did,” referencing the poorly received Disney remake.
Despite the backlash, Gunn remains firm in his creative direction. “This film is for everyone,” he said, “and it’s about kindness—not politics.” His brother, actor Sean Gunn, also defended the vision, explaining that the film’s message aligns with Superman’s origins as an alien finding belonging on Earth—a narrative deeply rooted in immigration and acceptance.
Early screenings have reportedly received positive feedback, especially for David Corenswet’s performance as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane. Whether the film will rise above the political noise remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Gunn’s Superman is already a cultural flashpoint before its official release.
Veteran actor Michael Madsen, renowned for his gritty performances in films like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill Vol. 2, has passed away at the age of 67. His manager, Ron Smith, confirmed that the actor died of heart failure on July 3, 2025, at his home in Malibu, California. Longstanding health issues, including heart disease and a history of alcoholism, were cited as contributing factors. Authorities confirmed that no foul play was involved, and an autopsy was not performed.
Madsen, whose filmography spans over three decades, was known for playing tough, unpredictable characters with a unique emotional depth. His portrayal of Mr. Blonde in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs became an instant cult favorite and cemented his place in Hollywood’s hall of fame for antiheroes.
In the wake of his death, colleagues and fans alike have poured out tributes. Rob Zombie, who directed Madsen in CSI: Miami, praised his dedication and raw talent, noting that while Madsen had a reputation for being intense, he always delivered on screen. His sister, actress Virginia Madsen, described him as “a poetic soul in a fighter’s body.”
Beyond acting, Madsen was also a published poet and had been working on a reflective book titled Tears for My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems. His passing marks the end of an era for a generation of cinema that thrived on raw, unfiltered performances.
Lena Dunham, the creator and star of Girls, has spoken out about the harsh scrutiny she’s faced throughout her career, calling the body-shaming in Hollywood “merciless.” In a candid interview with Variety, Dunham reflected on how the criticism persisted no matter what size she was — whether thinner due to illness or simply aging naturally.
“Whether I was a size 4 or a size 16, there were always opinions about my body,” she shared. “Hollywood remains merciless toward body image.”
Dunham revealed that part of her decision to step away from acting was influenced by the toll this scrutiny took on her mental health. While the body positivity movement once gained momentum, she believes it has lost visibility in recent years.
Currently, Dunham is focused on her new series Too Much, where she serves as showrunner and mentor to rising star Megan Stalter. She says protecting her cast from the kind of criticism she endured is a top priority.
“I can handle people coming for me, but I won’t stay quiet when they come for someone just trying to do their job,” she added.
Her words come at a time when Hollywood is again being called to reflect on its standards, its messaging, and how it treats women of all sizes — especially those behind the scenes and in positions of creative power.
