After Alan Ritchson shared his candid thoughts on the Epstein files, the Trump administration has issued a response.

On Friday, the White House shared a statement regurgitating that Trump has been “totally exonerated” in the Jeffrey Epstein case, following Ritchson’s comments seemingly urging the president to “go to jail” over his ties to the accused sex trafficker.

“Just as President Trump has said, he’s been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein,” said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. “And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.”

Jackson continued, “Meanwhile, Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Stacey Plaskett have yet to explain why they were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender.”

While Trump has repeatedly claimed he is exonerated from the Epstein case, no court has officially ruled as such. Meanwhile, the POTUS is mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files, and in March, the DOJ released previously withheld documents containing unproven accusations of sexual assault against Trump, following pressure from Dems.

After Dax Shephard previously told him he “should let some of that stuff go,” Ritchson recalled on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, “I’m like, ‘Let go?’ I was like, ‘Everybody else should have it. Everybody else should feel like I feel … all mad about the way things are and the abuses that are happening. The Epstein files? The f*cking Epstein files! God damn it! Where are they? It’s a f*cking law, bitch! Show it, you f*cking pedophiles!”

Ritchson added, “This is my f*cking politics, dude. I would f*cking railroad these f*ckers I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. Yeah, dude, two seconds. F*cking move out of the way. Get out of there. I don’t care what room they’re in, f*cking move. Like, give me the f*cking manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files.

“Don’t you want to see what’s in there, so that we can hold people accountable? These f*cking rapists! We’re just cool with it?” he continued, without directly naming Trump. “That b*tch has the keys to the nuclear—he’s all up into 13-year-olds. Dude, what? Go to jail. Go to jail.”

Following a judge’s dismissal of Trump’s $10B lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting of a birthday letter he allegedly wrote to Epstein, the twice-impeached president filed an amended suit in May. Trump has denied he wrote the letter and maintained his innocence in the Epstein case.

As Descendants enters a new chapter, so does Malia Baker.

The 20-year-old Botswana-born actress returns as Chloe Charming in Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, stepping back into the Disney franchise, not as the newcomer who once idolized the original cast, but as one of the faces leading its next generation.

“It’s like entering this world as camp counselors this time instead of these nervous campers that we were the first time around,” Baker tells The Hollywood Reporter on a recent Zoom.

“We put so much pressure on ourselves just because we loved the movies so much. They were so integral, not just for my formative years, but my peers as well,” she continues. “You hold so much respect and love for them, so it was a really big deal. But it was still so much fun to film.”

Returning for a second film also meant welcoming a new group of cast mates, who quickly turned into some of Baker’s closest friendships. She’s excited for the “world to fall in love” with her friends and the new characters.

Ahead of the film’s release, the Descendants and Zombies casts embarked on a tour, giving Baker the chance to witness fan excitement firsthand. “It’s so wild to be able to literally watch it unfold in front of you and have people be so excited and joyful around something that’s so close to your heart,” she says.

The Descendants films are among the most beloved Disney movies in modern time. Baker feels that the films strike a necessary chord of timeless themes and represent young people well, which is why they’ve been able to remain relevant.

For Baker, stepping into the character of Chloe meant embracing the legacy of Cinderella and Prince Charming, two of Disney’s most recognizable characters. While audiences were already familiar with Chloe’s parents, the young actress had the opportunity to help define a new character entirely her own.

“I think we all put our hearts and souls into it,” she says. “Yes, these are iconic characters, but Chloe Charming has never been done before, which is a lot of trust to put into a person.”

With Disney’s trust in Baker to represent the beloved character over the course of two films, she says she’s found herself growing alongside Chloe. “As things in your life start changing, you can find different levels and depths to whatever character you’re playing,” she says. “I think Chloe and I have been very fortunate to have been at very similar stages in our lives. It feels like we really are learning these lessons at the same time and inspired by one another’s growth.”

The actress hopes that Wicked Wonderland viewers watch it and enjoy it. “It can seem like it’s your responsibility to not enjoy something, because it’s not as ‘serious,’” she says. “But I think there’s something really magical in being able to learn a great lesson while having fun.”

While Chloe Charming may be the role she’s most known for today, sitting at the top of her acting bucket list is Starfire from Teen Titans. “I love the role of Starfire, I think she’s the coolest ever she is just such a baddie in her own right,” she says, laughing. “I would swap out the blue for some pink hair any time any place.”

The actress says a role in a biopic would also be a dream for her. “I don’t know who, what or when, I keep joking with Brandy about playing her,” she says. “I told her I’ll start practicing for it.”

While Starfire, and maybe a Brandy biopic if she ever gives that call, remain on Baker’s manifestation board, she’s still wrapping her head around the fact that she’s become one of the faces of Disney’s newest generation with Descendants.

“Sassy little me would’ve been shocked, flabbergasted, everything in between. It’s still a dream now,” Baker says of her younger self. “I have to have little reminders every now and then. I don’t think it’ll ever fully sink in, and honestly, I’m happy it won’t.”

Robert Irvine won’t be watching Food Network‘s reboot of Restaurant Impossible and is sharing his thoughts with his fans.

The first episode of Restaurant Impossible: Last Call premiered this week, with Chef Aarón Sánchez and Jen Agg spearheading the series as they help troubled businesses become successful. Many fans took to social media to ask Irvine about the new take on the show he hosted for 22 seasons, but he said he would not be tuning in.

“Guys I can tell you that I won’t watch it because it was MY baby not the networks,” Irvine shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. “Together, Tom , Tanya, Lynn, and all the volunteers did amazing work together. For people we never knew but got to become family after two days.”

Irvine also mentioned that he regularly keeps in touch with some of the families he helped on the show over the years.

Previously, a fan had asked Irvine why he wasn’t on the show and he explained by posting, “The choice to film in [Canada], which I refused because they wanted a new crew, builder, designer, etc. I’m loyal and said no, so they go to ruin a iconic show. shame on them for tax credits.”

When another fan said that Restaurant Impossible shouldn’t be called that if Irvine is not involved, the former host said, “I agree. [I] made that show with the [help of] a great team for 15 yrs and now [Food Network] is ruining the legacy and making a mockery of the talent.”

Irvine had more severe criticism for Food Network, saying that the reboot is a “shit attempt to cheapen and revive what was a popular show across the world.”

“I don’t [blame] the people, I blame the shameless network trying to take something so [successful] and setting them [up] for failure,” he continued. “@FoodNetwork you made a bad decision !!!!! Sorry”

Deadline has reached out to Food Network for comment and will update the story when we hear back.
