Kim Kardashian has taken a bold stance against critics of her latest legal drama, ‘All’s Fair,’ by showcasing fan reactions on social media. The Disney+ series, in which Kardashian portrays top divorce lawyer Allura Grant, has been met with scathing reviews from major publications. The Guardian described it as ‘so awful, it feels almost contemptuous,’ while The Times labeled it ‘the worst TV drama ever.’ Despite this, Kardashian humorously promoted the show to her 354 million Instagram followers, calling it ‘the most critically acclaimed show of the year.’ The series currently holds a dismal 5% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, though it fares better with audiences at 66%. Kardashian shared fan comments, including one that joked critics’ negative reviews inadvertently drove viewership. The show boasts a star-studded cast, including Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, and Teyana Taylor. One fan quipped, ‘Does a show need to be good? The answer is no.’ Another praised the ‘legendary actresses’ for their ‘worst performances,’ calling it ‘amazeballs.’ This marks Kardashian’s second acting role after her well-received appearance in ‘American Horror Story.’ ‘All’s Fair’ reunites her with showrunner Ryan Murphy, known for hits like ‘Glee’ and ‘Pose.’ Critics have torn the show apart, with The Huffington Post calling it a ‘boring dud’ and Variety labeling it a ‘clumsy take on girlboss feminism.’ However, Kardashian remains undeterred, sharing Disney Hulu data confirming the show as the most-watched title on Disney+ globally, ranking first in 28 countries, including the US.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, found himself at the center of a cross-border controversy after wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat during Game 4 of the 2025 MLB World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The incident, which took place at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, drew criticism from Canadians who felt the prince should have shown allegiance to the Toronto Blue Jays, the only Canadian team in Major League Baseball. Harry, whose father King Charles is the head of state of Canada, later apologized during a CTV interview, humorously claiming he was ‘under duress’ when he donned the Dodgers cap. He explained that he felt it was ‘the polite thing to do’ after being invited by the Dodgers’ owner. In a light-hearted tone, Harry quipped about his thinning hair and the need for any available hat under the stadium’s floodlights. To make amends, he pledged to wear a Blue Jays hat moving forward and even rooted for the Toronto team in subsequent games, as seen in a social media clip shared by his wife, Meghan Markle, a Los Angeles native. The couple’s presence at the game also stirred discontent among Dodgers fans in the U.S., who criticized their front-row seats during the marathon 18-inning game, while local legends like Magic Johnson and Sandy Koufax were seated behind them. During his visit to Canada for Remembrance events, Harry received a Blue Jays hat while meeting with some of the country’s oldest veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital’s veterans center in Toronto. He also published an essay reflecting on British culture, emphasizing the importance of ‘banter’ and ‘self-deprecation’ in defining British identity. The couple, who moved to California after stepping back from royal duties in 2020, continue to navigate their unique position as global figures bridging multiple cultures.
