Jodie Foster is putting on her True Detective hat. The Oscar winning actress is set to star in season four of the HBO anthology crime series, alongside actress Kali Reis. Titled...Former The Bachelorette contestant Cam Ayala underwent a leg amputation late last week, his most recent social media post revealed.
“Gotta lotta BROMENTUM with @b.rapp #amputee #CAMputee #FAITHoverFEAR,” read the Instagram caption which accompanied the photograph of Cam in a hospital bed at Texas Medical Center, with much of his right leg appearing to have been removed.
Cam has long suffered from a disease known as lymphedema, which was the reason for the procedure, as reported by Page Six. The condition is the result of lymph vessels failing to sufficiently drain the lymph nodes, resulting in a back-up of fluid that causes swelling in the affected region of the body, most commonly the arms or legs.
A Texas native, Cam first appeared on Season 15 of The Bachelorette, which aired in 2019 and featured Hannah Brown (Miss Alabama USA 2018) as the show’s lead for whom all the male contestants competed.
In a recent interview Cam, who also appeared on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise, reflected on the way his diagnosis seemingly affected his ultimate fate as a contestant on The Bachelorette.
“Long story short, it started very well. I got the first rose before the first impression rose, and that had never happened before [on the show],” Cam recalled.
“Honestly when I was out there and getting that first rose, I felt affirmed very quickly,” he continued. “And that honestly was the curse. Because there was a very large target placed on my back [among] the men in the house. And about three weeks into the journey there, I decided to open up to [Hannah] about my chronic disease, called lymphedema . . .
“As I opened up to her, some of the other guys in the mansion felt [it] necessary to approach her after that conversation and basically accuse me of fabricating this medical sob story, so I could get what they referred to as a ‘pity rose.’
“And unfortunately [Hannah] believed the guys’ narrative, and I was sent home that night,” he concluded. I’m thinking Hannah’s feeling pretty terrible about that decision right about now. She most definitely owes Cam a heartfelt apology.
In another of Cam’s recent Instagram posts, shared four days ago, the self-described “dance floor king” appears in a video in which he apparently gets ready for and goes through a “final” day of exercise prior to the amputation.
“LAST time putting ON and taking OFF a FULL [leg emoji] compression sleeve . . . 23 years of Love/Hate,” and “My FINAL workout with my God-give[n] legs [more leg emojis]. #SweatCheck,” reads text overlaid on the footage.
Despite what he’s going through, Cam seems to be retaining his cheerful sense of humor and making the best of things. I hope all of Bachelor Nation will come together to wish him a speedy and healthy rehabilitation and recovery.

I’m sure Bravo fans can relate to the massive emotions I’m feeling after the long-awaited premiere of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2. The “Ex-Wives Club” is everything we could have wanted and more. I’m not ashamed to say I teared up when Phaedra Parks showed up on the screen with the grown-up versions of the Prince and Mr. President. Jill Zarin recreating her infamous vacation crashing “Hiiii” at Dorinda Medley’s Bluestone Manor felt like a fever dream. And the terrible two of Vicki Gunavlson and Tamra Judge have returned to whoop it up on the East Coast.
There are so many things to say about RHUGT Season 2. Vicki is fresh off her breakup with Steve Lodge and is taking it out on everyone, especially Dorinda. Dorinda is, as expected, the most chaotic yet high-class hostess of all time. She made it real nice and isn’t letting anyone, especially Vicki’s bad attitude, ruin it. Vicki learned really quick what happens when you poke Dorinda — she always claps back and it’s usually twice as savage.
RHUGT also brought us the return of Brandi Glanville and her own specific brand of mess. To no one’s surprise, Brandi has not changed a bit. Literally, there’s somehow been no growth since she said goodbye to us on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Taylor Armstrong, on the other hand, got to make a comeback after a decade off of reality TV. A lot has changed, but Miss Taylor is having a moment all the same. Eva Marcille is also showing off a lighter (and perpetually stoned) side that I’m loving 100x more than her stint on Real Housewives of Atlanta. Truly, it’s everything and more.
The fans are also here for the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club to become a regular series all on its own. Tamra, who is never one to turn down a well-paying gig, was quick to jump on the buzz.
In a screenshot captured by Christian Grey Snow on Instagram, Tamra took to Twitter to beg for a returning RHUGT contract. “I think @peacockTV should bring us together once a year and take us on a different vacation,” Tammy Sue wrote. She’s clearly not banking on a Real Housewives of Orange County return for one reason or another. Based on the new RHUGT season though, these Real Housewives alumni might not even need to go back to their shows. Everyone say thank you, Bravo/Peacock/NBC for feeding our souls yet again.

Erika Jayne is single and ready to mingle. Despite drowning in a mountain of lawsuits, Erika has set her sights on dating. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is not quite divorced from her alleged embezzling husband Tom Girardi just yet. But that doesn’t mean she can’t have some fun while he’s biding his time in a senior care facility until his potential trial(s).
She recently told E!’s Daily Pop of being single while famous, “It’s hard because I don’t think people really know what to expect.” Erika added, “I can’t get on an app. What if [Jeffrey] Dahmer shows up?” I’m just going to take a moment to point out that the fear of who will show up isn’t a famous person problem. It’s a problem for every woman on a dating app. But I wouldn’t expect Erika to know that given how far removed from regular folk she is.
To make matters worse for her (sigh), Erika described herself as “socially awkward” with men. She explained, “They say they want a woman that’s forward but they really don’t.” Cut to a clip of her being admonished by Tom for speaking. So she’s not really wrong about that. When she was presented with the idea that maybe men are scared of her, she agreed. Said Erika, “They are! They actually told me, ‘I’m afraid of you,’ and I was like, ‘Why? I’m modern. I thought I was doing what women are supposed to do, which is speak your mind and say what you like and know.”
Regardless of whether or not Erika thinks being modern is to blame for her lack of dating life, there’s no doubt that her controversial life could be a factor. After 21 years of marriage, Erika filed for divorce in November of 2020. Approximately a month later, Tom was accused of embezzling money from his clients’ settlement funds. Erika has denied having any knowledge of Tom’s misdeeds, but is being sued nonetheless.
Given the ongoing legal issues and Tom’s bankruptcy, Erika admits that finalizing the divorce is not a top priority. She can’t even move ahead if she wanted to because of all the legal tanglings. But she’s committed to staying present in the moment. Erika noted, “Last year I was waking up with this hopeless feeling. There’s a lot of sadness still here, but there is happiness in the form of having some fun with some friends, having some sex, and just trying to stay in the moment and not in the past.”
As for what she’s finding enjoyable, she is relishing her fresh start. Erika remarked, “What I like the most is that I’ve have the chance to completely start over and be free from over a 20-year marriage and kind of wipe the slate clean in a way.” She concluded, “It’s my life to rebuild. In that way it’s a lot of opportunity but also it’s scary at the same time…I don’t really know what I’m doing. I’m just out here trying to make it happen.”
