Maria Georgas has ruffled a few feathers in Bachelor Nation.
It seems some Bachelor franchise alumni aren’t impressed with claims she made on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper last week.
It started with her friend, Nick Viall, speaking out after Maria claimed she suspected him of setting her up for a feud with Sydney Gordon on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
Nick made it clear that he had nothing to do with the drama after Maria claimed a photo of Nick and Sydney made her suspicious. His new wife, Natalie Joy, called Maria “delusional.”
Before entering The Bachelor mansion, Maria was friends with Nick, and Sydney was friends with Ashley Iaconetti, which made the situation suspicious.
But there’s also drama with Bachelor in Paradise fan-favorite, Wells Adams.

In 2006, UTA presciently launched a group dedicated to the field of then-emerging digital creators, at a time when other major agencies’ online efforts were primarily focused on finding supplemental opportunities for existing film and TV clients. Now, as its portfolio of creator clients has ballooned to include heavyweights like Emma Chamberlain, the D’Amelio family and Call Her Daddy‘s Alex Cooper, the 33-year-old company is debuting an umbrella division that is “tailor-made for their needs and success across the creator economy,” in the words of agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer.
Called UTA Creators, the just-launched division brings together four previously separate agency groups — digital talent, gaming and esports, audio, and the influencer management company Dba — under one shingle, with the goal of super-serving a pool of talent that is increasingly firing on all cylinders and working on multiple platforms. (Dba continues to operate as a separate management company that has...

Maria Georgas’ recent podcast appearance has landed her in some hot water.
While opening up to Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy, Maria talked about her friendship with Nick Viall.
She provided a timeline showing how they were just friends, but that’s not why Nick’s new bride, Natalie Joy, is speaking out now.
During the chat, Maria talked a lot about Sydney Gordon and the bullying drama on The Bachelor.
Then, she confessed that she thought at one point that Nick may have helped plan to make her the season’s villain.
After a photo of Sydney and Nick was shared, Maria got a bit paranoid.
After all, Sydney is friends with Ashley Iaconetti, and Ashley is friends with Nick.

Maria Georgas may have made an enemy after her latest podcast appearance.
Last week, The Bachelor’s most popular cast member (aside from Joey Graziadei) spilled a lot of tea with Alex Cooper on the Call Me Daddy podcast.
She dished on all the behind-the-scenes dirt, including her feud with Sydney Gordon.
Maria also revealed that she was longtime friends with The Bachelor star Nick Viall before Joey’s season even started.
That’s why when the season started airing, and she realized that Sydney Gordon also had a friend in Bachelor Nation, she got a little paranoid.
Maria revealed that after a photo op featuring Sydney and Nick surfaced, she suspected that maybe he and Sydney’s close friend, Ashley Iaconetti may have had a hand in the girl feud that she really didn’t want to be involved in.

Maria Georgas had a friend in Bachelor Nation before she became The People’s Princess on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
And she never expected to have drama with any of the women while filming the show.
But she definitely had drama with multiple women while trying to win over Joey on the last season of The Bachelor.
While she was watching the season back, one that she did confirm gave her a fair edit, Maria said that she had an a-ha moment where she thought maybe the Sydney Gordon drama was a setup.
After all, they had friends in Bachelor Nation before filming the season.
Maria confessed that she’s a longtime friend of Nick Viall, and we already know that Sydney Gordon is friends with Ashley Iaconneti.

Maria Georgas was signed, sealed, and ready to become the next Bachelorette.
“I was offered the role. It was mine until I said it wasn’t,” Georgas said during her Call Her Daddy podcast appearance on Wednesday. “It became very overwhelming to the point where I had to decline.”
Georgas said that she’s “been trying my hardest to stay silent” about what happened in order to support Jenn Tran, but wanted to “be honest” going forward.
It got so far along, she told Alex Cooper, that she was “doing fittings” for the show.
“It was set in stone. I was in it,” Georgas said. “When everyone around me was so supportive of me being in this position and everyone wanted this for me, I took a second. I’m like, why am I not happy? Why am I not excited about this? It took me realizing that it’s...

While appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Maria told Alex Cooper that she was, indeed, offered The Bachelorette role.
She even confirmed that she had accepted the top spot and would have been handing out roses this summer. Maria had even begun the wardrobe process.
But then, she turned The Bachelorette down, and that’s ultimately why Jenn Tran was announced as our Bachelorette following Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
It’s not new news, as one of Maria’s The Bachelor co-stars also confirmed she was offered the spot, but now that Maria said the quiet part out loud, she’s catching a bit of heat for it.

Maria Georgas revealed that she was nearly the next Bachelorette on ABC’s hit dating show.
The Bachelor alum, who came in fourth place on Joey Graziadei’s season earlier this year, opened up on a new episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast about her decision not to become the next leading lady.
“It was mine until I said it wasn’t,” Georgas explained. “It became very overwhelming to the point where I had to decline.”
Georgas said although many people around her were being “so supportive,” she still didn’t feel completely happy about the idea of leading the next season of The Bachelorette.
“Why am I not excited about this?” she asked herself. “It took me realizing that it’s not my time where I was like, ‘Guys, respectfully, I need to decline. I need to take a step back. I was not in the right headspace for this.

For the second straight summer, the NBCUniversal service will increase its subscription prices.
Since its launch on July 15, 2020, NBCUniversal’s Peacock has slowly, but steadily built itself into a solid streaming service, in part, by keeping its prices low. Over the course of its nearly four years, it has only increased its subscription price once, when it raised its monthly rates $1 and $2 respectively in honor of its third anniversary last July. Now, it appears that NBCU is making something of an annual tradition of the practice as on Monday, the company announced that it would again be raising prices in July.
Key Details: For the second straight July, Peacock is set to increase its prices on both subscription tiers. Over the course of one year, the price for the service’s ad-supported tier will increase from $4.99 to $7.99 and its ad-free option from $9.99 to $13.99. The platform will also stream every single event from the 2024 Paris Olympics,...

A price hike is coming to Peacock.
The NBCUniversal streaming service plans to raise the monthly and annual fees for its Peacock Premium and Premium Plus tiers, with the changes set to take effect before this summer’s Paris Olympics.
Peacock Premium will rise in price by $2 per month to $7.99, while Premium Plus will rise by $2 to $13.99. The annual fees will rise to $79.99 and $139.99 accordingly.
The price changes will go into effect July 18 for new customers, and beginning Aug. 17 for existing subscribers. The Paris Olympics opening ceremony is scheduled for July 26.

However, the company is betting that it has a stronger value proposition this time,...

Simone Biles has shared the emotional toll that the Tokyo Olympics had on her.
While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of podcast Call Her Daddy, the athlete opened up about her mental state during her vault performance, where she got the twisties—a term for when gymnasts lose their perceptual awareness of their body’s position while spinning in the air.
“We already knew my gymnastics was janky, like, in training I was having twisties already,” recalled Biles. “But [at the moment], I’m trying to push past that and I would literally tell my teammates, ‘I’m fighting demons right now but I’m going to do it for you guys.'”
She explained that she felt like she was “fighting” her body and mind to perform the tricks and tried out some alternate maneuvers while practicing but was still not feeling certain about how her Olympics competition would go.

The answer is the Paris Olympics, which will be telecast in the U.S. with a markedly different approach this summer. Primetime coverage will be aimed at a much broader crowd than it has for recent Olympic Games. NBCUniversal has $7.8 billion on the line in rights fees for the Games through 2032, and that nine-figure commitment is forcing the company to shore up its investment by proving that the Olympics is still a cultural juggernaut.

At the time, the interest of the world was caught when it was revealed that Megan Fox had received a peculiar ring from Mgk.

Joe Rogan has struck a new multiyear deal with Spotify, but will no longer see his podcast distributed exclusively by the platform.
As part of the deal for The Joe Rogan Experience, which had been the top podcast of the year globally at Spotify for the past four years, the show will soon be distributed across several podcast platforms, as well as on YouTube, rather than remaining exclusive to Spotify, as it has been for the past several years. In addition to distribution, Spotify will also handle ad sales for the podcast.
Rogan’s podcast was one of the last major titles that remained exclusive to Spotify for distribution, as the platform moves away from exclusivity in favor of ad-sharing deals and broader distribution.
Earlier this week, Spotify also ceded exclusivity of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, another chart-topping title, while retaining exclusivity to the video form of the podcast.

Going into 2024, podcasting executives remain incredibly bullish on growth in the sector, with an eye to creating multiple revenue streams for creators and using artificial intelligence and video to expand the audience.
While the podcast sector faced some pullback in the past year, notably with layoffs and programming cuts at Spotify, Wondery CEO Jen Sargent and Conal Byrne, CEO of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group, say they believe there’s still room for the medium to expand, particularly on a global level. And while the overall advertising market took a hit last year, both also see podcasting advertising growing into the next year, fueled by increasing demand.
In an effort to further globalize the medium, Byrne said he expects artificial intelligence to play a big role in the translation of podcasts into other languages. With the approval of the podcast creator, Byrne said iHeartMedia is looking to use AI to translate,...
