If you’re a fan of Breaking Bad, you’ll likely be aware that Skyler White — partner of protagonist Walter White — remains one of TV’s most hated characters.

In fact, the hatred towards Skyler was so extreme that it extended to her real-life actor, Anna Gunn, who wrote an essay for the New York Times in 2013 about the vitriol. “As the hatred of Skyler blurred into loathing for me as a person, I saw glimpses of an anger that, at first, simply bewildered me,” she wrote in part.

Like Anna, I have always been surprised by the volume of hate Skyler has received from some BB viewers (compared to Walter) for getting in the way of her husband’s criminal activity. (Yes, she makes some morally questionable choices throughout the series, but undoubtedly none as harmful as Walter’s.)

Fortunately, Skyler has at least been defended by Walter’s real-life actor, Bryan Cranston, time and again — most recently during a sit-down conversation on Hot Ones Versus with his onscreen Malcolm in the Middle son Frankie Muniz.

After declaring that he “loved Breaking Bad,” Frankie shamelessly told Bryan, “I wanted to kill Skyler to make your life easier.”

After Bryan’s jaw dropped, Frankie insisted, “Your life would have been so much easier! You were such a bad guy; you could have just gotten rid of her. All she did was complain! Look at the money!”

“See, she got a lot of blowback from that. First of all, Anna Gunn is a superb actor. But she got, like, ‘Oh, why don’t you get off his back?’” Bryan replied, quoting the criticism that Anna has received. Frankie said, “That’s how I felt.”

Seemingly perplexed, Bryan then said, “Wait a minute, let me understand this. Her husband leaves without any explanation, she’s pregnant, he’s making crystal methamphetamine, and people have died, and she’s the bitch?!”

Frankie laughed and replied, “When you put it that way, I guess.”

Reacting to the moment online, several fans have since praised Bryan for defending Skyler. “People thinking Bryan Cranston would agree with the Skyler haters are delusional… Embarrassing that Frankie thought they would bond over this ‘joke.’ He sees his character for the villain that he absolutely was,” one person on Reddit said.

“Growing up is knowing that Skyler was right. No one would want to be married to that guy. Love Bryan Cranston for checking ppl who still think she’s the problem,” someone else wrote.

“A slightly annoying female character will always be worse than a murderous psychopathic male character to most men,” one person said. “The Skyler hatred just shows that a woman’s worst crime is being ‘annoying.’ Like your husband is a drug kingpin and killing people and bombing nursing homes but you’re not supposed to complain LOL,” another user agreed.

“Imagine not seeing your tv dad for 25 years and when you do you try to spread the tired manosphere talking points he’s been putting up with since 2008,” one viral X post read.

To get you up to speed: After news broke that Barry and Sabrina reportedly split in late 2024 after a year of dating, the internet was flooded with rumors that he had been unfaithful to the “Espresso” singer with influencer Breckie Hill. For her part, Breckie quickly shut down the cheating speculation on her own platforms.

Despite the denial, the wave of online negativity aimed at the Saltburn star was so intense that he eventually felt forced to delete his Instagram account and release a statement regarding the “hate” he was enduring during that period.

While appearing on a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Barry addressed those persistent cheating rumors directly. He shared a candid look at how the public narrative has fundamentally altered his life—and his perspective was truly heartbreaking.

“I came off Instagram and social profiles,” he confessed during the interview. “I’ve stopped going to events. I’ve stopped, you know, just, socializing. It’s because, you know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that’s not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared.”

Reflecting on the unique struggles of “having a relationship in the public eye,” Barry pointed toward the video where Breckie denied the rumors. “No one seemed to latch on to that video,” he noted, expressing frustration over how the public perception has shifted since the breakup.

“I’m not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that’s not normal either,” he continued. “But I’m asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can, involving my parents who are no longer with me… just absolutely disgusting and vile. There’s videos on TikTok literally going, ‘I hate him.'”

“We’ll get in the biggest fucking fight you’ve ever heard of in your life…and five minutes later, we’re back, laughing and making music,” she explained. “It’s sibling shit. There’s nothing else in the world like sibling relationships.” It is a sentiment many with siblings can certainly relate to.

While discussing their dynamic, Billie also touched upon the daunting prospect of potentially not collaborating with Finneas one day. Her take on the future of their professional partnership was both refreshingly honest and surprisingly open-ended.

“If I never saw Finneas at all, I might literally never make a song again,” she mused, before posing a deeper question about their personal growth: “But how do we move on and have separate lives?”

If you’re a millennial of a certain age, you know Shannon Elizabeth from a few things. Between the American Pie franchise, Tomcats, Scary Movie, and even a Jay and Silent Bob movie or two, she was arguably one of the queens of the “movies you watched at a sleepover party” subcategory.

Shannon’s acting career has remained fairly steady since then, but she recently took on a new role entirely: OnlyFans creator. She joined the service just a few weeks ago, telling People at the time that starting her own OnlyFans was because “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”

Well, just a few weeks later, People has a new report on how the OnlyFans foray is going for Shannon — and as it turns out, she’s seemingly struck content-creator gold in the process.

A source tells the publication that Shannon brought in “more than seven figures” on the first week she joined OnlyFans. Seven figures! Let that sink in.

The source adds that Shannon “is really making a name for herself” on her page, and they also note that there is no full nudity featured on it. “She is super happy she now gets to take control and be engaged with her fans,” the source adds.
