Ashley and Manuel Do Sex Magic, Hint at His 90 Day Fiance Redemption Arc on October 17, 2023 at 12:03 am The Hollywood Gossip

On Sunday’s episode of 90 Day Fiance, Manuel arrived in Rochester. He and Ashley are finally together.
However, viewers quickly saw Ashley and Manuel clash over everything from pets to witchcraft.
The latter conflict didn’t play out quite as some expected, but Manuel didn’t just offend Ashley. He didn’t make a good impression on viewers.
But it sounds like he’s going to be more open-minded than he was in his first 48 hours in the US. Why? Well, these days, Ashley and Manuel are doing sex magic! She did an interview about it.

It’s hard to imagine knowing someone for ten years — and proposing right after meeting — without truly knowing your partner.
But it seems that, on some level, Manuel has spent the last decade largely ignoring Ashley’s spiritual practice and beliefs.
Ashley is a witch. And while she’s eager to show her practice as a religious minority, she also just wants to show her partner this side of herself. On Season 10, Episode 2. He struggled to understand. Or simply refused to.

Ashley Michelle recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight about her spirituality — and Manuel’s journey and education.
“I’m a witch, I’m a seer, I’m a healer, I work in spirituality,” Ashley explained. “I help people build their online brands in spirituality.”
She continued: “I work with tarot, astrology, the Akashic records. I’m all about helping people get to their best version of self.”

“That’s what I do,” Ashley went on.
“And so we use magic to do this, we use manifestation to do this, we use mantra work to do this,” she listed.
Ashley added: “We use all sorts of things to do this and shadow work specifically, right?”

“How can we get to the best version of self,” Ashley began rhetorically.
She continued “when we’re not really identifying the things that we are doing and the habits that we are doing.”
These are habits that tend “to hold us back or create negative feedback loops, you know what I mean?”
Ahead of Manuel’s arrival, Ashley shops for supplies and possibly even gifts. (TLC)
“So that’s what it looks like, and yeah, I think I am the first official witch [in the 90 Day Fiance franchise],” Ashley suggested.
She added: “I think there have been some people that may have dabbled in tarot here or there, but this is my job.”
(Just for the record, I’m pretty sure that she’s not the first witch on the franchise, but she does seem to be the first who works professionally as a witch)
Manuel comes from a country with an extremely homogeneous religious makeup. That is not his fault. Him deciding to argue with Ashley’s explanations of who and what she is … that’s a choice. (Image Credit: TLC)
By his own admission, Manuel didn’t “really pay attention to it” when Ashley told him that she was a witch.
He told ET that, as a result, he ended up feeling very surprised by how much her spiritual path defines her life.
Ashley chimed in, sharing that the two have now “dabbled in sex magic.”
Despite knowing her for 10 years, Manuel seemed to sort of tune out Ashley’s spiritual practice until they were living together. How much of that was her doing? And how much was his? (Image Credit: TLC)
“Oh it looks like a number of different things, honey,” Ashley described.
“Yeah, a little bit of sigil work, little bit of mantra work,” she suggested. “You put it underneath the bed or the pillow, you get after it, girl.”
Ashley then quipped that it “[Works] every single time.”
At the airport, Ashley and Manuel had a sweet and tearful reunion. (Image Credit: TLC)
On a less bedroom-related note, Ashley emphasized the responsibility that she feels.
She’s not just on the show representing her relationship. She’s also showcasing herself as a witch — a spiritual and a religious minority.
“Yeah, I want any 90 Day fans to know that we are here because we love each other, we’re here because we feel like representation is important, we’re a minority couple,” Ashley stressed.
Ashley’s attempts to explain her practice as a witch to Manuel did not go over well. At least, not at first. (Image Credit: TLC)
“I’m a woman of color, he’s a Latin man, we feel like we need more of that on the show, representation for the spiritual community,” Ashley pointed out.
“There are hundreds of thousands of witches out there working in a good, positive way doing the same thing that I’m doing,” she noted. If anything, that’s an underestimate.
“And that needs to be highlighted as well,” Ashley expressed. “And we mean no harm. So everybody enjoy the show, enjoy us, watch our love story, and judging is bad news bears, so that’s it.”
Honestly? I’m adoring Ashley so far. We’re looking forward to seeing Manuel learn and grow!

What We Can Learn Inside 50 Cent’s Explosive Diddy Documentary: 5 Reasons You Should Watch

50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs is more than a headline-grabbing exposé; it is a meticulous breakdown of how power, celebrity, and silence can collide in the entertainment industry.
Across its episodes, the series traces Diddy’s rise, the allegations that followed him for years, and the shocking footage and testimonies now forcing a wider cultural reckoning.

1. It Chronicles Diddy’s Rise and Fall – And How Power Warps Reality
The docuseries follows Combs from hitmaker and business icon to a figure facing serious criminal conviction and public disgrace, mapping out decades of influence, branding, and behind-the-scenes behavior. Watching that arc shows how money, fame, and industry relationships can shield someone from scrutiny and delay accountability, even as disturbing accusations accumulate.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage Shows How Narratives Are Managed
Exclusive footage of Diddy in private settings and in the tense days around his legal troubles reveals how carefully celebrity narratives are shaped, even in crisis.
Viewers can learn to question polished statements and recognize that what looks spontaneous in public is often the result of strategy, damage control, and legal calculation.
3. Survivors’ Stories Highlight Patterns of Abuse and Silence
Interviews with alleged victims, former staff, and industry insiders describe patterns of control, fear, and emotional or physical harm that were long whispered about but rarely aired in this detail. Their stories underline how difficult it is to speak out against a powerful figure, teaching viewers why many survivors delay disclosure and why consistent patterns across multiple accounts matter.
4. 50 Cent’s Approach Shows Storytelling as a Tool for Accountability
As executive producer, 50 Cent uses his reputation and platform to push a project that leans into uncomfortable truths rather than protecting industry relationships. The series demonstrates how documentary storytelling can challenge established power structures, elevate marginalized voices, and pressure institutions to respond when traditional systems have failed.
5. The Cultural Backlash Reveals How Society Handles Celebrity Accountability
Reactions to the doc—ranging from people calling it necessary and brave to others dismissing it as a vendetta or smear campaign—expose how emotionally invested audiences can be in defending or condemning a famous figure. Watching that debate unfold helps viewers see how fandom, nostalgia, and bias influence who is believed, and why conversations about “cancel culture” often mask deeper questions about justice and who is considered too powerful to fall.

South Park’s Christmas Episode Delivers the Antichrist

A new Christmas-themed episode of South Park is scheduled to air with a central plot in which Satan is depicted as preparing for the birth of an Antichrist figure. The premise extends a season-long narrative arc that has involved Satan, Donald Trump, and apocalyptic rhetoric, positioning this holiday episode as a culmination of those storylines rather than a stand‑alone concept.
Episode premise and season context
According to published synopses and entertainment coverage, the episode frames the Antichrist as part of a fictional storyline that blends religious symbolism with commentary on politics, media, and cultural fear. This follows earlier Season 28 episodes that introduced ideas about Trump fathering an Antichrist child and tech billionaire Peter Thiel obsessing over prophecy and end‑times narratives. The Christmas setting is presented as a contrast to the darker themes, reflecting the series’ pattern of pairing holiday imagery with controversial subject matter.
Public and political reactions
Coverage notes that some figures connected to Donald Trump’s political orbit have criticized the season’s portrayal of Trump and his allies, describing the show as relying on shock tactics rather than substantive critique. Commentators highlight that these objections are directed more at the depiction of real political figures and the show’s tone than at the specific theology of the Antichrist storyline.
At the time of reporting, there have not been widely reported, detailed statements from major religious leaders focused solely on this Christmas episode, though religion-focused criticism of South Park in general has a long history.
Media and cultural commentary
Entertainment outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, Slate, and USA Today describe the Antichrist arc as part of South Park’s ongoing use of Trump-era and tech-world politics as material for satire.
Viewer guidance and content advisory
South Park is rated TV‑MA and is intended for adult audiences due to strong language, explicit themes, and frequent use of religious and political satire. Viewers who are sensitive to depictions of Satan, the Antichrist, or parodies involving real political figures may find this episode particularly objectionable, while others may view it as consistent with the show’s long‑running approach to controversial topics. As with previous episodes, individual responses are likely to vary widely, and the episode is best understood as part of an ongoing satirical series rather than a factual or theological statement.

Sydney Sweeney Finally Confronts the Plastic Surgery Rumors

Sydney Sweeney has decided she is finished watching strangers on the internet treat her face like a forensic project. After years of side‑by‑side screenshots, “then vs now” TikToks, and long comment threads wondering what work she has supposedly had done, the actor is now addressing the plastic surgery rumors directly—and using them to say something larger about how women are looked at in Hollywood and online.

Growing Up on Camera vs. “Before and After” Culture
Sweeney points out that people are often mistaking normal changes for procedures: she grew up on camera, her roles now come with big‑budget glam teams, and her body has shifted as she has trained, aged, and worked nonstop. Yet every new red‑carpet photo gets folded into a narrative that assumes surgeons, not time, are responsible. Rather than walking through a checklist of what is “real,” she emphasizes how bizarre it is that internet detectives comb through pores, noses, and jawlines as if they are owed an explanation for every contour of a woman’s face.
The Real Problem Isn’t Her Face
By speaking up, Sweeney is redirecting the conversation away from her features and toward the culture that obsesses over them.
She argues that the real issue isn’t whether an actress has had work done, but why audiences feel so entitled to dissect her body as public property in the first place.
For her, the constant speculation is less about curiosity and more about control—another way to tell women what they should look like and punish them when they do not fit. In calling out that dynamic, Sweeney isn’t just defending herself; she is forcing fans and followers to ask why tearing apart someone else’s appearance has become such a popular form of entertainment.
