“Big Brother” contestant JC Mounduix is being slammed by fans who believe he’s been sexually harassing other houseguests.
On the live feeds, which gives fans 24/7 access to what the houseguests are doing in the house, Mounduix is seen trying to put an ice cream scooper on other contestants’ genitals. Mounduix, who is an out professional dancer, told contestant Kaycee Clark to “open up your vagina” because “it feels good.” Clark told Mounduix “no.”
He also tried to put the scooper underneath contestant Kaitlyn Herman’s blanket. Mounduix also attempted to cup contestant Tyler Crispen’s genitals while he was getting a massage.
On camera, the contestants haven’t appeared to be upset by Mounduix’s behavior. According to a spoiler “Big Brother” account, Crispen was asked if he felt uncomfortable by Mounduix and said “No.”
For the record, Tyler was asked in DR if he felt uncomfortable by JC.
Without hesitation he said “No”. He was then reminded of what J.C. did and then re-asked by BB. He said to the effect of ‘oh yeah that, it wasn’t a big deal. Why are you asking me this?’#BB20

However, some fans weren’t happy about Mounduix’s behavior.

I don’t know if you’ve been watching the feeds but JC has been touching houseguests inappropriately and production isn’t doing anything ☹️. Weren’t there any rules on that? It’s disgusting to watch.— BECKY (@rebecahsizemore) July 1, 2018

@JulieChen @CBSBigBrother you need to address the harassment within houseguests. The ladies clearly said no about the ice cream scooper. Absolutely appalled nothing was done and nobody stepped in to address that behavior.

So this episode is going to ignore the sexual harassment JC has been doing and allow him to be the voice of reason for Sam instead? Oooookay @CBSBigBrother ? #BB20

Madonna announces release date for new album
‘Confessions II’ marks return to the dance floor
Pop icon Madonna on Wednesday announced that her 15th studio album will be released on July 3.
Titled “Confessions II,” the new album is a sequel to 2005’s “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” an Abba and disco-infused hit.
The new album reunites Madonna with producer Stuart Price, who also helmed the original “Confessions” album. It’s her first album of new material since 2019’s “Madame X.”
“We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,” Madonna said in a press release. “These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people,” continued the statement. “Sound, light, and vibration reshape our perceptions. Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”
Denali (@denalifoxx) of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” performed at Pitchers DC on April 9 for the Thirst Trap Thursday drag show. Other performers included Cake Pop!, Brooke N Hymen, Stacy Monique-Max and Silver Ware Sidora.

In an act of artistic defiance, Baltimore Center Stage stays focused on DEI
‘Maybe it’s a triple-down’
By LESLIE GRAY STREETER | I’m always tickled when people complain about artists “going political.” The inherent nature of art, of creation and free expression, is political. This becomes obvious when entire governments try to threaten it out of existence, like in 2025, when the brand-new presidential administration demanded organizations halt so-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming or risk federal funding.
Baltimore Center Stage’s response? A resounding and hearty “Nah.” A year later, they’re still doubling down on diversity.
“Maybe it’s a triple-down,” said Ken-Matt Martin, the theater’s producing director, chuckling.
