The episode began with tons of tears! Gabe cried over Beatriz, Mel sobbed over Sincere, and an overall awkwardness descended upon the villa.

Celebrity Parenting Is Hard, Just Ask Brad Pitt and David Beckham Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

There have been numerous headlines over the past few days of Brad Pitt’s children dropping Pitt from their last names. So far, 3 of his 6 children have legally pursued their name changes, with his twins dropping Pitt’s name from their diplomas and playbills. We go over the only public statement one of his children has made as to the status of their relationship, and it’s brutal. Much like the situation with David Beckham and his eldest son, Brooklyn, who was a no show at Beckham’s big moment in LA this week, getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Beckham had the perfect response to reporters who asked about Brooklyn’s absence following that eviscerating instagram post he made about his parents earlier this year.

We go over all the notable and yes, laughable moments throughout episode 5, including Mel and Bea’s backhanded compliment fueled make-up conversation, Bryce’s “I was bullied for being really really good looking” story, and Sincere’s non-stop analogies.
