Kaitlyn asked Stassi if she thinks Taylor's 'Bachelorette' season -- which has been on ice since we released video of a shocking 2023 confrontation between herself and her ex, Dakota Mortensen -- will hit the airwaves.

Stassi said a couple weeks ago she was 100% sure it would air ... but now, given the legal complications Taylor's facing, she's not so sure.

Georgina said the criticism worried her at first because she makes a living from her image ... but Cristiano quickly reminded her she's much more than her appearance.

She was accused of sodomizing a juvenile at a hotel in Hapeville, Georgia, but she claimed the interaction was consensual.

A rep for the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said, "Sidney identified as someone who engages in a particular lifestyle" during the intake process, which is why jail officials placed her in the vulnerable unit.

The producer claims Ye personally directed the recording sessions as he cranked out more than 400 vocal generations and created at least 13 custom A.I. voice models.

Megyn, the ultra-conservative media personality, blasted Caitlin as a "coward" for dodging the question ... and in rode Portnoy to defend CC ... saying, "Absolute moron/idiot to call Caitlin a coward for this answer. 1st of all, you don't even know how she feels on this issue and more importantly, she doesn't owe it to you or anybody else to be your political talking point."
