The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a whirlwind of celebrity controversy and breaking news. The crew kicks things off with Zendaya reportedly refusing to appear alongside her Euphoria co-star Sydney Sweeney, following backlash over Sweeney’s controversial “Good Jeans / Good Genes” American Eagle ad, which many deemed racially insensitive. Zendaya, known for speaking out on issues of race and representation, has drawn praise for her quiet but firm stance against what fans call “tone-deaf branding.”  

The conversation turns serious as a neurologist challenges Wendy Williams’ dementia diagnosis, suggesting she may not suffer from frontotemporal dementia after all. The revelation could reshape the court battle over her guardianship, a case that’s drawn national attention to elder care and financial control in celebrity health crises. Finally, the team covers Donald Trump’s ongoing legal fight, as he petitions the courts to overturn his sexual abuse and defamation verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case—an appeal many critics say leans on the influence of judges he himself appointed.
