- *Game of Thrones* star Hannah Murray opened up about her time in a wellness cult after an experience with an "energy healer."

- She said that In her worst moment she had a psychotic episode that felt like "giving birth through my skull" and was rushed to the hospital.

- Murray chronicles her traumatic experience with the cult in her upcoming book, *The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness*.

Hannah Murray is reflecting on her traumatic time spent living in a cult.

The English actress, best known for portraying Gilly in *Game of Thrones*, detailed being drawn into a wellness cult in her late 20s in a new interview on Saturday in support of her upcoming book, *The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness*.

"It's easy to go, 'Well, that would never happen to me,' but we do ourselves a disservice when we start saying that, because you don't know," Murray told *The Guardian* of her intense experience. "I had no idea I was going to go through any of the things in the book. I would've assumed I couldn't, that I was safe. I was well educated, from a middle-class family; everything should have been fine. I thought, 'I'm smart. I make good choices.' Well, I made terrible choices."

She added, "It's important to understand why people do these things, rather than going, 'Oh, they must be idiots.' Or, 'How stupid could you be?'"

Murray explained that she was originally drawn to an "energy healer," whom the article refers to as Grace, who helped her process the difficulty of shooting 2017's *Detroit* though a $150 "healing" session. The session was a positive one, which led Murray to a mystical class that in turn led to more classes with more members of the organization. "I wanted to go further and further, as far as you could go," the actress said.

She eventually met the man at the top of the group, whom the article refers to as Steve. "He exuded power in a way I had never known anyone to exude it," she said. "Magical power … I knew I was in the presence of a magician."

Murray noted that she felt predisposed to believe in magic because of her love for the *Harry Potter* series as a child. "The most appealing thing was the idea that you might discover this whole magical world just under the surface of our world. As a kid, I desperately wanted that to be true," she said. "When I was going through psychosis, my brain was a cocktail of those stories, this idea that I had discovered the truth, which was that I had this incredible destiny. I was going to save the world. I could fly."

She added that she felt strange sexual overtones in the organization, though those feelings were never consummated. "My own experience felt highly eroticized, without anything explicitly physical happening. There was just this charge to the energy in the room. I think there often is in these hierarchical spiritual organizations." When she suggested that the organization was some sort of "sex cult" to one of its teachers, they replied, "That’s hilarious. No, [Steve is] just really good at breaking down your ego and so a lot of sexual stuff might come up."

The worst moment came when she was attending a five-day course in a London hotel. She was talking at "a million miles a second," seeing signs and symbols everywhere, and feeling incredibly happy. One night, Murray found herself hallucinating and hearing Steve's voice in her head. She recalled taking refuge in a locked bathroom and experiencing a painful psychotic episode in which she felt like she was "giving birth through my skull." Members of the organization then surrounded the stall with bronze tools, chanting, "Be gone, evil spirit in Hannah."

Someone eventually called for help, and after she was pinned to the floor by a group of men in uniform, she was rushed to Gordon hospital in Bloomsbury, London, where she was detained for 28 days under the Mental Health Act.

Murray was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has now retired from acting. "I hear so much, 'We need to talk more about mental health,'" she said in the interview. "What they mean is, like, anxiety and depression. We're all happy to talk about that. But there's such a taboo around the idea of people who are sectioned. They are beyond the pale."

"It felt really important to say, 'I went through this,'" she added. "Lots of people go through this. That doesn't mean they are bad or f---ed up forever."

*The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness* is out June 23.

Dalton Ross is a writer and editor with over 25 years experience covering TV and the entertainment industry. *Survivor* is kind of his thing.

EW's editorial guidelines

on May 25, 2026 11:00 a.m. ET

Who is the best *Survivor* winner ever? Ask 10 *Survivor* fans and you may get 10 different answers. Which is part of the fun of the question.

Hardcore *Survivor* fans love to discuss and debate the intricacies of the game and their favorite seasons and winners in the same way that sports fans enjoy chattering nonstop about their teams.

But what do most fans think when posed with the question of whose the greatest *Survivor* winner ever? We decided to find out!

E*ntertainment Weekly* put together a bracket with all *Survivor* winners from the first 49 seasons, with a match-up happening every day until the best of the best was crowned at the *Survivor 50* finale. And then the winner of *Survivor 50 *took on the king or queen of the bracket to see who came out on top there.

Because common math told us that 49 does not equal 64, some winners received first round byes from **'s panel of *Survivor* experts and already advanced to the second round. Also, the two-time winners Sandra Diaz-Twine and Tony Vlachos were guaranteed on making it to the second round since *Heroes vs. Villains* Sandra defeated *Pearl Islands* Sandra in round one, and *Winners at War* Tony bested *Cagayan* Tony. The rest was all up to you!

Exclusive video, interviews, breaking news, games, polls, and more!

The battles were fast and furious, and eventually Todd Herzog faced off against *Micronesia* legend Parvati Shallow in the finals for the first 49 seasons. With easily the most votes cast in any round, Todd shocked the *Survivor* world by taking down Queen Parv with an impressive 55% percent of the vote. That meant in all, Todd head-to-head defeated an impressive field of Natalie White, Tom Westman, Dee Valladares, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Kim Spradlin and Parvati to get all the way to the end. But his work was not done yet.

Because it was then time for our bonus round to find out who was the best *Survivor* winner of all 50 seasons now that *Survivor 50* was in the books, meaning Todd needed to take out freshly-minted *Survivor 50* champ Aubry Bracco for all the marbles. But could he do it, or would Aubry take out another legend to secure her second *Survivor* crown of 2026?

The votes have all been counted and no immunity idols, Shots in the Dark, or MrBeast coin flips are allowed. And the champion of the Best *Survivor* Winner ever bracket as decided by you, the fans is…. Well, just look at the image below for your answer.

'Survivor' winner Todd Herzog.

Yes! Todd. He sealed the *China* deal with an incredible final Tribal Council performance and was equally impressive here with his run to fan-voted glory. And how does he feel about shocking the world with his latest triumph? Well, let him tell you in the video below.

Congratulations to Todd for the win and thanks to all who voted either every day or just once randomly for the hell of it. The winners are officially no longer at war! But to see all the matchup results along the way, check out the full, completed bracket below!

- Brandi Glanville shared on her podcast she thinks she recently contracted "sexually transmitted ringworm."

- "I knew nothing about it," Glanville said of having to learn about the sexually transmitted infection.

- The former *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills *star has gone public about a plethora of health issues that were caused by damaged breast implants.

Brandi Glanville is opening up about a new health issue.

The *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* alumna shared her concern that she may have contracted a "sexually transmitted ringworm" on the May 21 episode of her podcast *Brandi Glanville Unfiltered*.

Glanville felt she had this particular sexually transmitted infection in her throat, she told with guest and former adult film actress Lisa Ann. Sexually transmitted ringworm can be highly contagious, can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity, and is caused by the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII (TMVII).

"I was dating, I was seeing someone in that industry," Glanville explained. "He would only, you know, my face. He would because he didn't want to get me pregnant. He didn't know that ship had sailed."

Glanville said that while she recently got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, she had just learned what sexually transmitted ringworm was from a friend.

"I knew nothing about it... Apparently, you can see them when it's on the outside of your skin, but they can burrow in like if it's in your throat, they can burrow deep into your ears and all that," Glanville added.

Ann explained the STI is "very common" within the adult film industry, saying "So it's one of these things that most people don't know what to look for. And we had to train our makeup artists that when a new member of talent would show up, they would have to get naked in a window where there's good light and they would inspect their body to see if they see any patches because it's incredibly contagious."

During the podcast, Glanville's co-host James Maas brought up other ongoing health issues for the reality star. Glanville has struggled for years and spent thousands of dollars trying to determine the cause for a multitude of health issues including facial disfigurement, eventually learning she got a facial parasite due to her ruptured breast implants that caused silicone to leak into her body.

"Knocking the silicone out really helped. You could see it. It was like night and day," Maas said of Glanville. "Just seeing her like in the last six weeks, like not having silicon leaking into your body, it's like seeing someone go from gray to color again."

A sonogram revealed the dangerous leak, Glanville said in February.

"The woman [who] did the sonogram was like, 'Brandi, you need to get those out yesterday. She's like, 'You have a slow leak in your left [implant] and your right [implant] is completely ruptured, and it's in all of your lymph nodes under both arms," Glanville shared.

Having seen over 20 doctors to address her medical issues, Glanville expressed she's "scared to death" over learning the root cause.

"It's something that I could die from if I hadn't figured it out," she said.

- *General Hospital *star Kate Mansi is leaving the ABC daytime soap opera after joining in 2023.

- The actress said her exit is due to "new projects" that require her "full attention."

- "It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride," Mansi said of getting to play Kristina Corinthos-Davis on the series.

Kate Mansi is saying goodbye to *General Hospital*.

The 38-year-old actress confirmed news of her exiting ABC's daytime soap opera in an Instagram story on Sunday, May 24, sharing an interview with *Soap Opera Digest*'s editorial director Stephanie Sloane* *about her departure.

"I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital," Mansi told Sloane for her newsletter, *SoapSteph’s Soap Dish*. "I have a few new projects that require my full attention and with my husband [Matt McInnis] currently producing a series filming primarily abroad, I needed the flexibility to travel while continuing to develop and work in Los Angeles."

** has reached out to Mansi and ABC for comment.

Mansi joined *General Hospital* in 2003, playing Kristina Corinthos-Davis, who is the daughter of mob kingpin Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard ) and his former attorney, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

“When [executive producer Frank Valentini] first approached me about the role, two things deeply resonated with me: the opportunity to show my support for the queer community by playing an LGBTQ+ character, and to help tell an endometriosis storyline," Mansi said. "Together, I truly feel we honored both of those stories in a way that mattered. And the fact that I got to direct was simply the icing on the cake! Now, it feels like the right time for both Kristina and me to step into new adventures."**

"I’m incredibly grateful to Frank, ABC, and our writers for the care they gave Kristina," Mansi added, "It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. I’ve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family."**

Mansi recently opened up about being diagnosed with endometriosis in 2015, while she was on *Days of Our Lives.*

"I've never gone through childbirth, but it felt like I was having extreme contractions," Mansi said of the pain she experienced while filming. "They would say action, I would do my scene, and then the second they said cut, I was literally doubled over in pain."

Mansi's stepfather, who is an OB-GYN, ended up operating on Mansi after becoming "frustrated" with her medical care, an act she said "ended up saving my life."

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our ******EW Dispatch newsletter******.***

Before leaving the series, Mansi directed an episode of *General Hospital* in which her character opens up about her own struggle with endometriosis.

"The attention and care that they put into this story was so meaningful,” Mansi told PEOPLE. “But my approach as a director, I really wanted to focus on Molly’s vulnerability, but her strength and how so many people with endometriosis often hide behind the strength and resiliency so that we don't look weak and we just can make it seem like everything's fine. And then matching that with Cody's sensitivity and his care and love for his partner."

3 Top AI Stocks to Buy With $1,000 Right Now

Key Points -

Amazon's cloud computing platform is delivering strong growth.

Meta Platforms is using AI to improve its ad business.

Nebius is delivering unreal growth.

These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires ›

If you've got $1,000 burning a hole in your pocket that you're itching to invest, I've got three stocks that look like strong buys right now. All are set to be long-term beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence (AI) build-out, and buying them now secures your involvement in that future.

The three stocks I think are solid AI picks right now are Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), and Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS). All of these companies are experiencing strong growth, and that could ramp up as AI becomes more prevalent.

Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »

Three investors gathered around a computer.

Image source: Getty Images.

Amazon

Amazon's involvement in the AI build-out stems from its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is seeing monster demand for its computing resources, which is driving it to spend a whopping $200 billion on capital expenditures to expand its data center footprint this year alone. This $200 billion investment isn't speculative; Amazon already has agreements with several companies to lease this increased capacity.

Another reason why Amazon's platform is growing in popularity is that it has developed a set of custom AI chips that provide processing power at a lower price than GPUs. This business unit is growing at a triple-digit percentage rate year-over-year and has nearly sold out capacity for its latest chip generation, Trainium3. Its next generation, Trainium4, is nearly sold out already, even though those chips won't be available for 18 months.

This all adds up to a business unit that's thriving, and with it growing in Q1 at a 28% pace (its fastest rate in 15 quarters), it makes for a strong case to buy the stock. AWS accounts for over half of Amazon's operating profits, so as AWS goes, so goes Amazon.

Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms may be making some major investments in its own AI business, but on Wall Street, it's only being valued like an advertising company right now. Yet its ad business on its social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, has been heavily impacted by its AI improvements. In part due to that, Meta's revenue rose 33% year over year in Q1. However, if one of the new AI products it's developing, such as its personal superintelligence model or its AI smartglasses, pans out, its top line could grow even faster.

Despite the strength of its core business and the potential upsides of its future products, Meta's stock is still trading at a rather cheap valuation.

META Price to CFO Per Share (TTM) Chart

For Meta, 12.5 times operating cash flow is a historically cheap level, outside of the depths it reached in early 2023 after investors had sold off the tech sector. Meta looks like a strong deal right now, and if any of its AI bets pay off, the stock could be primed for major upside.

Nebius

Few companies are growing as fast as Nebius is. The neocloud company provides a full-stack computing solution that has become a widely popular platform to train and run AI models on. It has attracted major investment dollars from Nvidia, which also inked a deal with the data center operator that will give it first access to its cutting-edge hardware. Meta Platforms is a major Nebius client, and has signed a large deal that will bring years of growth to the neocloud.

Nebius' growth rate has been nothing short of incredible. Overall revenue rose 684% year over year in Q1. Wall Street analysts expect 549% revenue growth in 2026 and 219% growth in 2027.

The stock is up by over 600% since 2025, but if you think you missed the boat with Nebius, think again -- that gain was still less than its revenue growth rate. That mismatch could provide a compelling long-term investment opportunity.

Don’t miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity

Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you’ll want to hear this.

On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a “Double Down” stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you’re worried you’ve already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it’s too late. And the numbers speak for themselves:

Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you’d have $558,537!*

Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you’d have $58,859!*

Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you’d have $477,813!*

Right now, we’re issuing “Double Down” alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join Stock Advisor, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.

CARACAS, May 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. military conducted a drill over the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Saturday, its ‌first military exercise in the South American nation ‌since U.S. troops attacked the capital and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his ​wife Cilia Flores on January 3.

Venezuelan authorities say that attack killed at least 100 people.

The latest drill, which the Venezuelan government said it had authorized as an evacuation drill for possible ‌medical emergencies or disasters, ⁠included two MV-22B Osprey aircraft that landed near the U.S. embassy and vessels that entered Venezuelan ⁠waters in the Caribbean Sea.

Venezuela's information ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The U.S. embassy said in a ​statement it ​remained "committed to ensuring the implementation" ​of President Donald Trump's ‌three-phase plan, "particularly the stabilization of Venezuela."

The embassy said Francis Donovan, commander of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Americas, was present in Caracas.

"This keeps us on guard," said Evelyn Rebolledo, 57, an administrator living in the ‌capital.

"A foreign country flying over the ​city itself, this is new to ​us and more so ​coming from the United States, given the ‌current situation and all the turmoil ​in the country. ​It leaves us in a state of uncertainty."

Trump's administration has backed the government of Delcy Rodriguez, formerly Maduro's ​vice president, which ‌has passed laws to open up Venezuela's vast oil ​reserves and mining resources to the U.S.

President Trump told CBS News that negotiators for United States and Iran are "getting a lot closer" to finalizing an agreement between the two countries.

Sources familiar with the negotiations told CBS News that the latest proposal includes a process to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, the unfreezing of some Iranian assets held in foreign banks, and a continuation of negotiations.

Mr. Trump declined to provide specifics about the agreement, but said that "every day it gets better and better."

"I can't tell you before I tell them, right?" Mr. Trump told CBS News in a phone interview.

Mr. Trump did say that he believes the final agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, adding that he "wouldn't even be talking about it" otherwise. Mr. Trump added that the agreement would also result in Iran's enriched uranium being "satisfactorily handled."

"I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want," he said.

Sources told CBS News that Mr. Trump is still mulling proposals and has not made up his mind yet. The sources said he is consulting with advisers and talking to foreign leaders, including leaders from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.

Mr. Trump said that if the U.S. and Iran do not come to an agreement, "we're going to have a situation where no country will ever be hit as hard as they're about to be hit."

Mr. Trump has previously threatened Iran, saying before the start of a ceasefire that began in April that "a whole civilization will die" without a deal, and recently warning the country that "the Clock is Ticking."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said Saturday that there "may be news later today" about where negotiations between Iran and the U.S. stand.

"There's been some progress done, some progress made, even as I speak to you now, there's some work being done," Rubio said, ahead of a formal dinner at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India. "There is a chance that, whether it's later today, tomorrow, in a couple days, we may have something to say, but this issue needs to be solved, as the president said, one way or another."
