NeNe Leakes is doing her best with a really tough situation.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has been dealing with some major adversity involving her 33-year-old son Bryson Rashard Bryant.

As we learned late last week, Bryson was arrested earlier this month in Lawrenceville, Georgia. As of Monday, per People, he still remains behind bars on a $6,100 bond after he was first taken into custody by police in that city on July 3 (for which he is pictured in his mugshot, above).
The charges against him include possession of a schedule two controlled substance (which cops believed to be fentanyl immediately after running field tests on it), prowling, loitering, giving a false name, and multiple probation violations from earlier cases.

In Monday’s teaser for this week’s upcoming episode of Reality With The King, Leakes explained how Bryson is in need of “a lot of counseling” and rehabilitation for drug addiction and other things.
She lamented:
Ugh.
She also frankly spoke about how Bryson’s problems are beyond her reach at this point, considering the fact that he’s now well into his 30s and with a family of his own. The longtime Bravo vet explained:
That may sound harsh, but as NeNe was quick to note, that arms-length affair is part of the reality of dealing

Sony is making some big changes to their release schedule in the face of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and writers strikes.
Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Sony Pictures has made some significant release date shifts for its upcoming films, including “Kraven the Hunter” and “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.” The delays come as dual union strikes disrupt the day-to-day business of Hollywood, and the SAG-AFTRA conflict makes it particularly difficult to open major fall movies without the participation of star talent. Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s anticipated Marvel outing “Kraven” is shifting to August 30, 2024, from a planned October 6 outing this year. The push to next Labor Day is vital, studio insiders said, as leading man Taylor-Johnson would need to engage in a worldwide press tour to open the visceral action project in just over two months.

Naveen Kumar A posh country estate where half a dozen lovers unveil their infidelities is the setting of “The Cottage,” which opened at Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theater tonight. Set in 1923, this comedy of manners by the playwright Sandy Ruskin is so thoroughly old-fashioned that it may come as a surprise it’s not based — like so many Broadway outings lately are — on existing material.

The forbidden-fruit pleasures that “The Cottage” tries to pass off as a feast, in a lavish production directed by Jason Alexander, are familiar, superficial and fleeting.
