Kathy Hilton Weighs in on Kyle, Mauricio Split ... 'Twas Years in the Making!!!

SHE'S THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
Bravo

Kathy Hilton believes her sister Kyle Richards' split from Mauricio Umansky was a long time coming ... and she expressed her fiery opinion on national television, no less.

Paris Hilton's mom made her highly anticipated return to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for part 2 of the reunion on Wednesday -- and she didn't hold back when it came to weighing in on her sister's marriage.

The veteran socialite speculated aloud that Kyle likely didn't rush into her decision to separate from the real estate mogul. As Kathy put it ... "[Kyle]’s not a compulsive person.”

With that in mind, Kathy thinks it's unlikely that Kyle would end her 27-year marriage over a few rocky months. The Hilton matriarch suspects her sibling has been considering the split for at least a few years.

As for how Kyle and Mauricio are doing in the aftermath of their public breakup ... Kathy made it clear that they're all hunky dory, doing their own things -- shouting out Mauricio's stint on "Dancing With the Stars" as proof. That was her view when this was filmed anyway.

Kyle -- who has denied rumors she's dating gal pal Morgan Wade -- has somewhat changed her tune in recent months ... as she revealed in an Amazon Live stream last week that she and Mauricio are allowed to date other people.

Kyle and Mauricio's split is set to play out on season 2 of "Buying Beverly Hills" ... the family's other reality show. We'll be tuning in!

JONATHAN VAN NESS LOS HÉROES DE "QUEER EYE" LO DEFIENDEN "¡En realidad es muy agradable!"

Los héroes locales que aparecen en "Queer Eye" de Netflix están saliendo en defensa de Jonathan Van Ness, quien ha sido definido recientemente como un "monstruo" en el set de la serie.

Varios participantes que colaboraron con JVN le dicen a TMZ que Jonathan nunca fue poco profesional o grosero durante el rodaje, al menos por lo que vieron. Cory Waldrop, que apareció en la primera temporada, no estaba al tanto de las recientes acusaciones, pero recuerda Jonathan siendo el mismo dentro y fuera de la cámara.

Cory dice que recuerda a Jonathan salir de su manera de tratarlo como la estrella del espectáculo, lo que le permite cortar la línea de camiones de alimentos de producción durante la grabación.

William Mahnken -que apareció en el segundo episodio de la temporada 2- ha expresado un sentimiento similar. Él le dice a TMZ ... que no tenía problemas con Jonathan durante la producción de su episodio, y añade que nunca vio el estilista hacer nada negativo en el set.

De hecho, William recuerda haber tenido varios buenos recuerdos con la estrella de la telerrealidad.

Al parecer, Jonathan incluso prometió llevar a William a los Emmy si su madre no podía ir.

Michael Richard II, famoso por la séptima temporada, dice que Jonathan "siempre fue brillante y simpático" mientras hacía "Queer Eye". En cuanto a la supuesta tensión entre JVN y sus compañeros de reparto -Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, y Bobby Berk- Michael dice que no fue testigo de ninguna mala sangre entre los Fab Five.

Nos dice... "Parecía muy querido por todos".

Ryan Dyer -que apareció en un episodio de la temporada 5- solo filmó con Jonathan por un día, pero dice que tuvo una gran experiencia.

Ahora, Ryan dice que recuerda que Jonathan quería "toda la atención", pero no recuerda que fuera un problema con el elenco y el equipo.

Por supuesto, varios empleados anónimos de "Queer Eye" describieron una experiencia muy diferente, ya que le dijeron a Rolling Stone que Jonathan era un compañero de trabajo lleno de ira con poca empatía por los que le rodeaban.

Cada historia tiene, al menos, dos caras.

Jonathan Van Ness 'Queer Eye' Heroes Defend Him ... He's Actually Very Nice!!!

Hometown heroes featured on Netflix's "Queer Eye" are coming to the defense of Jonathan Van Ness, who's been slammed in a recent exposé as a "monster" on the set of the show.

Several participants who collaborated with JVN tell TMZ ... Jonathan was never unprofessional or rude while shooting, at least from what they saw. Cory Waldrop, who appeared in 'QE's first season, wasn't aware of the recent allegations -- but recalls Jonathan being the same on- and off-camera.

Cory says he remembers Jonathan going out of his way to treat him like the star of the show ... letting him cut production's food truck line during taping.

William Mahnken -- who appeared in season 2's second episode -- has expressed a similar sentiment. He tells TMZ ...he had no issues with Jonathan during production for his episode, and adds he never saw the hair stylist do anything negative on set.

In fact, William remembers having several fond memories with the reality TV star.

Apparently, Jonathan even promised to take William to the Emmys if his mother couldn't make it.

Michael Richard II, of season 7 fame, says Jonathan was "always bright and nice" while making "Queer Eye." As for the alleged tension between JVN and his costars -- Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Bobby Berk -- Michael says he didn't witness any bad blood between the Fab Five.

He tells us ... "He seemed well-liked by everybody."

Ryan Dyer -- who appeared in a season 5 episode -- only filmed with Jonathan for one day, but says he had a great experience with the 36-year-old.

Now, Ryan does say he recalls Jonathan wanting "all the attention" ... but he doesn't remember it being an issue with the cast and crew.

Of course, multiple anonymous 'Queer Eye' staffers described a much different experience, as they told Rolling Stone Jonathan was a rage-filled co-worker with little empathy for those around him.

There are, at least, 2 sides to every story.

ADAM SANDLER Y MARGOT ROBBIE LOS ACTORES MEJOR PAGADOS DE 2023 ¡Enorme brecha salarial!

Adam Sandler y Margot Robbie fueron los actores mejor pagados de 2023, pero uno está definitivamente ganando más que el otro (al igual que los demás) y Netflix juega un papel importante.

Forbes publicó una lista de todos los grandes actores el año pasado y sus clasificaciónes basada en los números es interesante. Para empezar, Sandler es la máquina de hacer dinero de Hollywood, después de haber rastrillado $73 millones en 2023.

Si te estás preguntando de dónde viene todo ese dineral, puedes apostar a que es gracias al mayor streaming del mundo del espectáculo... Adam tenía 4 películas de Netflix en total el año pasado.

Adam protagonizó "Murder Mystery 2", "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah", "Leo" y "Spaceman". Esta última se estrenó este año, aunque le pagaron el año pasado.

Netflix y Adam han estado en el negocio desde hace años. Tiene un acuerdo exclusivo con ellos para producir una tonelada de películas, y sin duda está cumpliendo su parte del trato. A cambio, el tipo está recibiendo un buen pago. Es una locura teniendo en cuenta que estas son las películas de streaming... esto demuestra, ¡que este es el camino del futuro!

Margot, por su parte, hizo $59 millones el año pasado. Obviamente, la mayor parte fue gracias a "Barbie" -que hizo 1.000 millones de dólares- y tuvo un pequeño cameo en "Asteroid City".

La diferencia entre Margot y Adam -aparte de los 14 millones de dólares- es que ella es una actriz a la antigua en el sentido de que sus películas se estrenan estrictamente en cines.

El resto de la lista no es tan sorprendente, ya que incluye a un montón de grandes nombres, tales como Tom Cruise ($45M), Ryan Gosling ($43M), Matt Damon ($43M), Jennifer Aniston ($42M), Leonardo DiCaprio ($41M), Jason Statham ($41M), Ben Affleck ($38M) y Denzel Washington ($24M).

Otra cosa que llama la atención en esta lista es que hay muchos más hombres que mujeres. Así que sí, parece que todavía hay un poco de brecha salarial en Hollyood y los chicos están bien en la parte superior.

Adam Sandler & Margot Robbie Highest Paid Actors of 2023, But ... Huge Wage Gap in Btwn!!!

Adam Sandler and Margot Robbie were 2023's highest-paid actors -- but one is definitely making more than the other (and all the rest, too) with the difference being ... Netflix.

Forbes put out a list of all the big-shot actors who cleaned up last year -- and their ranking based on the numbers is interesting ... for a few different reasons, we suppose. For starters, the Sandman is king of the Hollywood money machine, having raked in $73 mil in '23.

If you're wondering where all that dough came from -- you can thank the biggest streamer in showbiz for lining his pockets ... Adam had 4 Netflix movies total that released last year.

Adam starred in "Murder Mystery 2," "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah," "Leo" and "Spaceman" ... with that last one being released this year, although he already got paid for it.

Netflix and Adam have been in business for years now -- he's got an exclusive deal with them to produce a crap ton of flicks ... and he's certainly fulfilling his end of the bargain. In return, the guy's getting paid handsomely ... which is nuts considering these are streaming movies we're talking about here. Just goes to show ... this is the way of the future!

Margot, meanwhile, made $59 million last year ... obviously, most of that is "Barbie" money -- it made over $1 billion at the box office -- and she had a small cameo in "Asteroid City."

The difference between Margot and Adam -- aside from the $14 mil -- is that MR's an old-fashioned actress in the sense that her movies are strictly in theaters. Hmm ... interesting.

The rest of the list isn't all that surprising, as it includes a lot of big names -- including Tom Cruise ($45M), Ryan Gosling ($43M), Matt Damon ($43M), Jennifer Aniston ($42M), Leonardo DiCaprio ($41M), Jason Statham ($41M), Ben Affleck ($38M) and Denzel Washington ($24M).

Something else folks are noticing about this list ... a lot more dudes than chicks. So yeah, there seems to be a bit of a wage gap in H'wood still -- and the fellas are well on top.

JONATHAN VAN NESS LO TILDAN DE "MONSTRUO" Y "PESADILLA" ¿Es denigrante trabajar con él?

El presentador de "Queer Eye" -Jonathan Van Ness- está siendo destrozado por los colegas de su programa de Netflix, que dicen que es un desastre trabajar con él. Aseguran que es emocionalmente abusivo y propenso a los ataques de ira.

Las duras críticas contra Jonathan se exponen en un nuevo artículo de Rolling Stone sobre la tensión detrás escenas en el set de "Queer Eye", con fuentes anónimas de producción sin pelos en la lengua.

Según el informe, Jonathan es pintado como una diva de dos caras que se muestra como una cálida persona en público, pero es un idiota total con la gente que trabaja con él en el show.

Entre las palabras que la gente del set utiliza para describirlo suenan "monstruo", "pesadilla" y "degradante".

El artículo también cita a tres personas que etiquetan a Jonathan como emocionalmente abusivo, con problemas de ira, y un total de 7 personas afirmaron que es conocido por arremeter contra los miembros del equipo y otras personas que trabajaban con ellos.

El mal comportamiento de Jonathan y su falta de profesionalismo supuestamente contribuyeron a una creciente ruptura y tensión entre los 5 presentadores de "Queer Eye", hasta el punto de que los demás dudaban en filmar escenas con Jonathan.

Algunos afirman que una reunión con los ejecutivos de Netflix hizo poco para cambiar el comportamiento de Jonathan o su trato con el resto del equipo, dejando a la gente en el programa sintiendo que no había responsabilidad.

Uno de los anfitriones, Bobby Berk, ha dejado el programa, aunque no está claro si Jonathan tuvo algo que ver con su decisión.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Jonathan para ver si quería abordar las afirmaciones de sus compañeros de trabajo, pero no hemos recibido respuesta.

'Queer Eye' Jonathan Van Ness Ripped As 'Monster,' 'Nightmare' ... Demeaning to Work With?!?

"Queer Eye" host Jonathan Van Ness is being ripped by colleagues from their Netflix show, who say he's a disaster to work with, emotionally abusive and prone to rage issues.

The harsh criticism against Jonathan is all laid out in a new Rolling Stone article about behind-the-scenes tension on the set of "Queer Eye" ... with anonymous production sources pulling no punches.

According to the report, Jonathan is painted as a two-faced diva who gives off a warm, rosy persona in public ... but is a total jerk to the people he works with on the show.

Among the words people on the set used to describe him -- "monster," "nightmare" and "demeaning."

The article also cites 3 people who label Jonathan as emotionally abusive with rage issues ... and a total of 7 people claimed he's known to lash out at crew members and others who worked with them.

JVN's supposed poor behavior and unprofessionalism allegedly contributed to a growing rift and tension between the 5 "Queer Eye" hosts ... to the point where the others were hesitant to film scenes with Jonathan.

Some around the show claim a meeting with Netflix execs did little to change Jonathan's behavior or treatment of the crew ... leaving folks on the show feeling like there was no accountability.

One of the hosts, Bobby Berk, has since left the show, though it's unclear if Jonathan had anything to do with his decision.

We've reached out to Jonathan to see if he wanted to address the claims of the coworkers, but we haven't heard back.

'LIB' Jessica Vestal & Harry Jowsey Hot & Heavy in Mexico Vacay Pics ... But Taken Months Ago🤔

Jessica Vestal seems to have found a new love on a completely different Netflix show with a new reality star -- and that'd be Harry Jowsey ... who she got hot and heavy with last year.

Here's the deal ... nobody knew who this woman was until the latest season of 'Love is Blind' -- in which she stars -- came out this month ... which is why these photos of Jessica and Harry cuddling up in Mexico from this past September completely flew under the radar.

As you can see ... the 'LiB' star and the "Too Hot to Handle" star were out in the water in Tulum in September -- when these pics were taken -- and yes, they look like a couple.

The reason this is interesting now ... well, Jessica is all of a sudden relevant in 2024, seeing how she was passed on in the pods -- but has remained a lingering presence this season.

DROPPING SOME HINTS
The Viall Files

"Love is Blind" has been teasing her return to shake things up -- and she herself has even been making the media rounds lately to suggest she is, in fact, dating somebody from the reality world ... without disclosing exactly who. She said as much to Nick Viall last week.

While Jessica was spotted at LAX a couple weeks ago with fellow 'LiB' costar Johnny McIntyre -- that sighting might've been a red herring in terms of romance ... because she looked way more involved with Harry here on the beach. Granted, this was months ago.

Love At LAX
TMZ.com

Considering these were taken all the way back in September ... it's hard to say if she's still with Harry or not -- we haven't seen any evidence recently of them being linked.

With that said ... it wouldn't surprise us if they go public as a couple in the near future.

One other thing about this little Mexico outing -- there are rumblings this may have gone down during filming for yet another Netflix series that throws a bunch of their reality TV castoffs together in one big pot (similar to "Bachelor in Paradise") called "Perfect Match."

They already aired Season 1 of that last year, and announced a new season was in the works ... and considering the crossover effect happening here, it may well have been for that.

Time will tell, we suppose, if Harry's the dude Jessica's seeing these days. He has appeared to be leaning into the fact he's into "MILFs" on his social media ... so all the dots are kinda connecting at this point.

If they are actually together ... that'd certainly be the curveball nobody saw coming.

We'll say this -- they certainly suit each other. Both are smoking hot, and if Jessica is already on to the next Netflix show ... we suppose it's better things didn't work out with Jimbo.

Stay tuned!

Megan Fox's Ex, Brian Austin Green 'Love Is Blind' Star Can't Compare ... Megan is 'One of a Kind'

Brian Austin Green is officially weighing in on Chelsea Blackwell comparing herself to Megan Fox in the "Love Is Blind" pods -- and even he's cringing over the situation.

Cut Her Some Slack
TMZ.com

We got the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum at Bristol Farms in Woodland Hills, and the 50-year-old actor told TMZ it wasn't wise of Chelsea to compare herself to his ex-wife. He candidly shared, "It seems like you're opening yourself up to criticism."

ICYMI ... when discussing their physical appearance while on the sight-unseen dating show -- Chelsea informed her future fiancé, Jimmy Presnell, she had previously been compared to the "Jennifer's Body" star.

Infamously, Jimmy did not agree with the comparison upon their first meeting out of the pods.

On whether he feels the comparison has any merit ... Brian told us it was tough to say -- since Megan is a "one-of-a-kind beauty," and "possibly the most beautiful woman in the world."

Brian and Megan were married for 11 years between 2010 and 2021, welcoming 3 children together. He is now engaged to "Dancing With the Stars" alum Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares a son, Zane Walker.

Still, Brian thinks critics should give Chelsea a break, especially since MF won't care one iota about the remark. In fact, the "Anger Management" star told us, "I think Megan would be flattered."

Brian, who just launched a free social media app on the Apple Store called Moviac, encouraged Chelsea not to listen to the haters, which is certainly easier said than done.

He also suggested she avoid making the comparison again. Solid advice, for anyone, really!

Ex de Megan Fox La estrella de "Love is blind" no se debería comparar... Megan es inigualable

Brian Austin Green está oficialmente sopesando la comparación de Chelsea Blackwell con Megan Fox en "Love is Blind" e incluso le parece un poco incómodo.

Dale un respiro
TMZ.com

Conversamos con el actor de "Beverly Hills, 90210" en Bristol Farms, en Woodland Hills, y el actor de 50 años le dijo a TMZ que no fue prudente que Chelsea se comparara con su ex esposa. Lo dijo con franqueza: "Parece que te estás abriendo a la crítica".

Por si no se enteraron, al hablar de su apariencia física en el programa de citas a ciegas, Chelsea le informó a su futuro prometido Jimmy Presnell, que había sido previamente comparada con la estrella de "Jennifer's Body".

Infamemente, Jimmy no estuvo de acuerdo con la comparación en su primer encuentro.

En cuanto a si la comparación tiene algún mérito, Brian nos dijo que es difícil de decir, ya que Megan es una "belleza única en su tipo" y "posiblemente la mujer más bella del mundo".

Brian y Megan estuvieron casados 11 años entre 2010 y 2021, y tuvieron 3 hijos juntos. Ahora está comprometido con la ex alumna de "Dancing With the Stars" Sharna Burgess, con quien comparte un hijo, Zane Walker.

De todos modos, Brian cree que los críticos deben darle un respiro a Chelsea, sobre todo porque a Megan Fox no le importa un ápice el comentario. De hecho, la estrella de "Anger Management" nos dijo: "Creo que Megan se sentiría halagada".

Brian, que acaba de lanzar una aplicación gratuita de redes sociales en Apple Store llamada Moviac, animó a Chelsea a no escuchar a los haters, lo que de todas maneras es más fácil de decir que de hacer.

También le sugirió que evitara hacer la comparación nuevamente. ¡Sólido consejo, para cualquiera, de verdad!

'Love Is Blind's Jessica Vestal Hints at New Romance w/ Costar ... Not Who You Expected!!!

3/1/24
DROPPING SOME HINTS
The Viall Files

Jessica Vestal may have found love after all -- but it ain't with the dude who passed on her in the pods ... at least that's what she's saying now.

The 'Love Is Blind' star -- who exited after Jimmy Presnell chose Chelsea Blackwell (AKA the Megan Fox girl) over her -- gave an interesting update on her love life while appearing on Nick Viall's podcast this week ... namely, that she's dating someone from the show.

Though the single mom didn't name names ... she did say that she's "trying to sort things out" with her fellow cast members. She did hint that fans probably already know the identity of her new boo -- reminding viewers she "had another strong connection" in the pods.

This must have been something that happened off-camera ... because there was no other dude she was shown flirting with or connecting with in the pods. It was just Jimmy.

2/26/24
Love At LAX
TMZ.com

The cat might be out of the bag at this point on who her new lover is.. We broke the story ... Jessica was spotted out in L.A. over the weekend, with one of her season 6 costars.

In our video, Jessica was seen walking shoulder to shoulder through an LAX terminal with castmate Johnny McIntyre. -- who she never appeared with on 'LiB.' Also, Jessica's airport outfit included the same pink top and jeans combo she wore for her 'Viall Files' interview.

Now before we jump to conclusions -- there is no definitive evidence Johnny is Jessica's new suitor. They didn't show PDA at the airport -- but based on her description of the type of dude she likes ... it's kinda adding up, Johnny fits the bill.

Of course, Johnny's current season 6 fiancée, Amy Cortés, whom he picked in the pods, was noticeably absent at the airport outing ... which is telling on how things may shake out.

All eyes are sure to be on the 'LIB' finale next week, as Johnny and Amy are heading to the wedding altar. It'll be interesting to see if Johnny and Amy actually say "I do" -- and what ends up happening at the reunion ... which won't air for another couple weeks.

TMZ INVESTIGATES
TMZ Studios

They wouldn't be the first couple to get cold feet, FWIW ... and this wouldn't be the first time a couple who didn't hook up on the show swapped and linked after cameras stopped rolling.

'Love Is Blind' Alleged 'Script' Spotted in the Pods ... It Ain't What You Think!!!

"Love Is Blind" is facing a conspiracy theory that the show is staged after a supposed script was spotted in a scene from season 6 -- but TMZ knows the truth ... and it's all live, baby!

A still shot of contestant Jessica Vestal from earlier this season is making the rounds online -- which shows the single mother with a notebook filled with printed-out text sitting on her lap during a pod date with Jimmy Presnell.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Since the notebook was presented like a regular ol' journal ... fans were quick to speculate that the Netflix reality series might be hiding something -- namely, that the whole thing is staged, to be exact, and that Jess wasn't taking notes but rather ... reading lines.

Despite the rampant speculation, a production source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the show is absolutely not scripted, and the printouts in question are merely questions the contestants are provided in case they need some ideas on topics to hit in conversation.

For example, we're told some of these questions seen in the journals could be something like ... "What’s your favorite color," or something else personal to keep the vibes flowing.

Our sources tell us that the prompts you see are simply meant to help the contestants get to know each other. Remember, the 'LIB' contestants initially meet with a wall between them -- so a little assistance isn't wildly unexpected, and that's exactly what this is.

Now, whether the contestants are overselling the notion these are just plain old notebooks to scribble things down in -- when there are clearly things written in there ahead of time for them -- is a different story ... because yes, they most certainly do seem to be playing it up.

The point is, though ... there's no scandal here, and there's no script either. We're told 'Love is Blind' is 100% live reality TV -- and what you see is what you get in terms of interactions.

BTW, this isn't the first time the notebooks have been questioned by viewers.

The journals were actually called out way back in season 3 -- when a similar photo ... this time featuring Cole Barnett -- was posted to X. At the time ... one fan declared they were left with "so many questions" over the journal.

We're glad to have shut the book on this conspiracy, FWIW.

'Stranger Things' Creator Ross Duffer's Wife Files For Divorce

"Stranger Things" creator Ross Duffer's movie director wife is dropping the curtain on their marriage … she just filed for divorce.

The Hollywood producer's writer/director spouse, Leigh Janiak, beelined it to court Friday and filed to divorce her husband after 9 years of marriage ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

In the docs, Leigh is going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Ross and Leigh, famous for directing horror projects like "Honeymoon" and "The Fear Street Trilogy," tied the knot in January 2015 ... and she says the date of separation is TBD.

They first met way back in 2006 at a Los Angeles production company, where Leigh was an assistant to the producer and Ross was an intern.

There won't be any child custody or child support issues to hash out ... because they did not have any kids. Leigh is asking for spousal support.

Ross and his twin brother, Matt Duffer, are best known for writing, directing, and producing the Netflix hit series "Stranger Things." The twins also wrote and directed a 2015 horror flick, "Hidden."

We reached out to reps for Ross and Leigh ... so far no word back.

'Love Is Blind' Sarah Ann Seems to Have Spoiled ... Jeramey's Whole Storyline!

Jeramey Lutinski might have found a real connection on "Love Is Blind" ... but, it doesn't seem to be with the woman he proposed to -- at least that's what the internet thinks.

Here's the deal ... while still in the pods on this season of 'LiB,' Lutinski forged a connection with two women -- Laura Dadisman and Sarah Ann. Ultimately, he chose to propose to Laura, and fans thought he and Sarah Ann were officially finito.

CAN'T BRING ME DOWN !!!

Fast forward to the latest episode of the Netflix show ... when Laura confronted Jeramey for being out ‘til 5 AM. Jeramey tried to argue he only saw Sarah Ann at a bar ... but Laura said she checked his location and he was nowhere near the bar.

Instead, he was hanging out way closer to Sarah Ann's house ... so, LD basically implied the two were doing a lot more than just having a drink at a bar together -- something Jeramey denied on the show.

Fast-forward to Thursday ... where, in real life, Sarah Ann posted to IG ... laughing off accusations that she and Jeramey hooked up while he was engaged to Laura and saying the world will soon know the truth.

But, eagle-eyed fans may have already uncovered what they believe to be the truth of the matter ... 'cause in another vid she posted, viewers noticed the tiniest sliver of a black and white picture hanging behind her in the clip.

Yes, it looks awfully familiar ... especially to people who've been following along.

Indeed, the room Sarah Ann posted from online looks to have incredibly similar decorations to the ones hanging in Jeramey's freakin' house -- something we've already seen on 'LiB,' as they've shown his room, and Laura in it ... rolling around on his bed and being flirty.

Now, we don't know for a fact that this is Jeramey's house ... but the similarities alone, combined with the recent bombshell allegations, make the whole thing seem pretty possible -- if not likely.

Bottom line ... people think Jeramey ended up with Sarah Ann after all -- which, if true, would mean he's about to break Laura's heart on the show ... which we'll see soon enough.

Of course, Netflix is probably pissed about Sarah Ann spilling a potential spoiler, even inadvertently -- they obviously want all this to be revealed on the finale (where they can snag eyeballs/ratings, etc.) but it looks like the contestants are screwing up by posting live!

Safe to say ... we're all in for a big reunion episode. But, everything might already be out by then. Whoops! 😅
