Taylor Lautner is unaffected by negativity.

When confronted with criticism about his appearance that just surfaced on Instagram, the Twilight alum didn’t hold back. Taylor even published some cruel comments, including one that said he “did not age well,” to start a conversation about mental health.

“If this was 10 years ago, five years ago, maybe even two, three years ago, that would have really gotten under my skin,” he remarked in a video posted on May 22. “It would have made me want to hide in a hole rather than go outside.”

However, the 31-year-old stated that he is now “in a different place” and is no longer in an “unhealthy position” in which he concentrates on the “wrong things.”

“You find value wherever you put it,” Taylor says. “And if you base your worth on what other people think of you, that’s how you’ll feel.” But if you place your value in knowing who you are, what matters to you, and what you enjoy, that stuff won’t bother you.”

Taylor Lautner is unaffected by negativity.

“My biggest point is to think about and remember where you put your value in life and be nice,” he continued. It isn’t all that difficult. Let’s be nice to one another. Let us spread love and happiness. It’s as easy as that.”

Other harmful remarks Taylor wrote in a report were that he “looks like old broccoli” and has “aged like a sultana.”

On the other hand, Taylor received an outpouring of support in the comments area of his post.

“‘It doesn’t make me question who I am,'” wrote the actor’s wife, Taylor Lautner, echoing one of his statements from the video. “God, I love you.”

Meanwhile, Clayton Echard of Bachelor Nation, who has been open about his body dysmorphia issue, applauded Taylor for his vulnerability. “People need to realise the weight of their words, and it doesn’t help that there’s often no accountability when it comes to social media,” he wrote. “Your sharing will help others understand the power of their words, and perhaps next time they’ll think twice before hitting send.”

Taylor Lautner is unaffected by negativity.

Taylor has previously spoken openly about his battles with mental health. On a February edition of his podcast, The Squeeze, the actor discussed how being shirtless in the Twilight film series caused his body image issues.

“When I was in it, when I was 16 through 20 years old, starring in this franchise where my character is known for taking his shirt off every other second,” he explained. “I had no idea it was affecting or would affect my body image in the future, but now that I think about it, of course it did, and of course it will.”

Taylor recounted being “forced to be in a gym multiple times a day, six days a week” while producing and experiencing criticism over his less muscular body when the franchise concluded in 2012.

“I was filming a movie called Run The Tide, and my character isn’t supposed to be a bodybuilder or ripped guy in any way.” “I thought I looked okay,” he recalled. “They put side-by-sides of me shirtless in the ocean in a scene from that movie compared to me in Eclipse or whatever and being like, ‘Wow, he’s let it all go.'”

Taylor admitted that the similarities “messed with me” for years but that he now “sees things differently.”

“Your body can look incredible, you can be ripped, shredded, whatever you want to lose weight, put on muscle,” he continued, “but if you’re not mentally healthy, then it’s all for naught because that can work against you.”

Ariana Madix raises her glasses—and wraps them in bubble wrap.

Two months after her dramatic separation from Tom Sandoval, whose months-long romance with Raquel Leviss has revealed on the Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale, the reality star moved out of their shared Los Angeles home.

The 37-year-old posted a video of herself to Instagram Story on May 22 with several stacked boxes outside her home, along with the caption “Ready to dip out.”

The post alluded to remarks Tom, 40, made on a previous episode of Vanderpump Rules in which he used the word “dipped out” to describe how Raquel, 29, had spent the night at his house.

Ariana’s move comes nearly a week after she announced plans to sell the home she acquired with Tom for $2 million in 2019.

“I want my money out of that house as soon as possible,” she said on Watch What Happens Live on May 17. “I want to move on.”

Although Ariana was still living under Tom’s roof at the time, she claims the two have no contact and only communicate through their employees as a “go-between.”

Ariana Madix raises her glasses—and wraps them in bubble wrap.

Raquel, who entered a mental health counseling facility last month, she said, was “sending letters to my house like four days ago.”

“I didn’t open it,” Ariana explained, noting that the letter was written by Raquel and sent to Tom. “I just brought in the mail, saw it, put it down on the table, and walked away.”

Following the adultery incident, which viewers dubbed “Scandoval,” Tom and Raquel apologized to Ariana.

“I made mistakes, I was selfish, and I made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love,” Tom wrote on Instagram on March 7. “No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.”

“My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana,” he concluded. I had no intention of disappointing so many people, especially our adoring families and friends.”

For her part, Raquel said in a statement on March 8: “There is no excuse, I am not a victim, and I must own my actions, and I deeply regret hurting Ariana.”

“I am learning things about myself, such as my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved,” the former beauty queen continued. “I have sought emotional validation through unhealthy intimate connections, sometimes negatively affecting others and frequently prioritising the intimate connection over my friendships.”

Kim Kardashian, lookalike and OnlyFans model died at 34.

A person of interest has been arrested in the death of Christina Ashten Gourkani, a professional Kim Kardashian lookalike and OnlyFans model.

Vivian Gomez, 50, was arrested on April 20 at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport in Florida, according to police records. According to court records obtained by E! News, Gomez is scheduled to be deported to California before a May 22 court appearance to face charges of two felony counts of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license resulting in great bodily injury.

E! News contacted her attorney but has yet to receive a response.

Gourkani died on April 20 at the age of 34 due to complications following cosmetic surgery, according to the model’s website.

Gourkani had engaged Gomez to assist her with a buttock enlargement, according to San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. After arriving in Burlingame, California, Gomez allegedly gave the Kardashian lookalike silicone injections. She then developed health problems and died as a result of a cardiac collapse, according to the site.

According to Wagstaffe, the local coroner’s office is probing Gourkani’s death.

Gourkani had engaged Gomez to assist her with a buttock enlargement.

Meanwhile, according to California court records, Gomez’s bail is $100,000.

Gourkani was open about her preference for cosmetic surgeries. “Some of us fill our bodies with drugs, others with alcohol, still others with unhealthy foods, still others with stress, still others with toxic abusive relationships,” she tweeted last December. “I fill my body with some plastic and a lot of love.”

Gourkani likewise refused to be discouraged by her criticism. “I have the best of both worlds… the best haters and supporters,” she tweeted simultaneously. “In the end, what matters is that I’m happy, and my numbers keep rising.” Thank you very much!”

She began her profession as a fitness model before transitioning into “a worldwide famous Celebrity Look-a-like Entertainer,” according to her website.

She built her brand using her business knowledge, including her real estate and property insurance history. Gourkani’s next ambition was to break into acting, which she planned to begin working on in the autumn.

Following her passing, fans and other influencers paid tribute to the model, who frequently cosplayed as superheroes and villains at San Diego Comic-Con.

“She was one of the most gracious, sincere, genuinely loving souls I’ve ever come across,” OnlyFans model Allegra Cole said. “Sending love, peace, and healing light to you and yours.”

“RIP My Angel,” wrote influencer Kristin Gomez. It’s still hard for me to believe. I’m at a loss for words. @ashtens_empire, we shall always miss you.”
