While some things on the A-list seem inevitable — Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B, for example, or Jef Holm vs. Arie Luyendyk Jr. — others seem to come out of nowhere. Freddie Prinze Jr., for example, spoke badly (…)
“Bic’s book, on the other hand, is almost irritatingly rooted in facts.” … Beeche’s book is less meandering than Calloway’s, yet slower and more unsure of itself,” Calloway wrote via Instagram July 2023, citing The New Yorker review. “GOD, MAKE ME GREATER – JUST NOT YET!!!!!!”
Calloway can be counted on to make eyebrow-raising statements online. Her recent claim about Mangione comes months after she said it he didn’t “fuck someone who could read.” in two years” during a May appearance on the “No Jumper” podcast.
“I meet them on Hinge, and I think maybe if I go on more than a few dates with them, they might have enough clues about my life to figure out who I am, but most of them don’t ask and I don’t tell them,” she continued. is she.
Calloway also sparked controversy in October when she announced via social media that she did he has no plans to leave his beach home in Sarasota, Florida despite dire warnings to evacuate as Hurricane Milton approaches land.
“If I really die in this storm, my books will go FURTHER IN PRICE.” Order now,” she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time.

After a five-day manhunt, Mangione was arrested Monday in Pennsylvania.
