Dr. Phil’s Media Company Ordered to Liquidate After Court Ruling
Dr. Phil McGraw’s new media venture has hit a major setback. A U.S. bankruptcy court has ordered his network, Merit Street Media, to be liquidated after finding that the company had “no realistic path to recovery.”

The decision, handed down by Judge Scott W. Everett in Texas, ends months of financial uncertainty surrounding Merit Street, which Dr. Phil launched earlier this year in partnership with Trinity Broadcasting Network. The network was created to feature family-friendly talk shows and lifestyle programming and even served as the new home for Dr. Phil Primetime, his post-syndication television project.

But things quickly took a downturn. Court documents reveal that Merit Street owes more than $180 million to creditors, including the Professional Bull Riders league, which had a multi-year broadcast deal with the company. PBR accused Merit Street of moving its assets into another venture, Envoy Media, just before filing for bankruptcy, a move the court viewed as a bad-faith attempt to shield resources. The ruling converts the company’s bankruptcy filing from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7, meaning a court-appointed trustee will now sell off its assets to pay outstanding debts.

Dr. Phil’s representatives have pushed back on the judgment, saying they “strongly disagree” with the findings and plan to appeal. Despite the legal drama, the television personality still remains a dominant figure across television and digital media and recently teased new projects under his personal brand. For now, though, the once-ambitious Merit Street Media dream seems to have reached its final episode.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs Seen Arguing Outside Coffee Shop
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were involved in a heated exchange outside a coffee shop and gym in Burtonsville, Md., on May 14, 2026. The public clash came three days after the two appeared affectionate together at Diggs’ Diggs Deep Foundation Mother’s Day event In Washington, D.C., where they were seen together. At the event, Diggs kissed Cardi on the cheek and put his arm around her waist.

Videos circulating on social media, first published by TMZ, show the rapper, and the NFL wide receiver in a tense conversation outside the establishment. Cardi is seen gesturing toward Diggs during the exchange. A separate angle appears to show someone intervening to keep onlookers at a distance.
Following the footage, Cardi addressed the moment on X, downplaying the seriousness of the situation. “Sometimes I forget I’m a celebrity… damn y’all ain’t never cuss your baby daddy out when you hungry?” she wrote.

TMZ reported that the argument lasted around 10 minutes and that Cardi was overheard saying, “That bitch is messy.” The specific cause of the disagreement has not been confirmed.
Diggs and Cardi made their relationship public on Instagram in June 2025 and reportedly ended things before Super Bowl 2026 in February. According to a report from “US Weekly,” the two have been in closer contact recently, with Cardi giving Diggs a second chance.
A source told the outlet that “things are no longer contentious” but that Cardi “is not fully committing” at this stage. Diggs, a free agent after being released by the New England Patriots following their Super Bowl 2026 loss, shares a son with Cardi.

Meadow Walker wore a simple black blazer for the event and shared a warm hug with Vin Diesel before stepping in with the rest of the cast for group photos.

Since then, Meadow’s stayed close with the cast. She even made a cameo appearance in “Fast X,” and she’s always said how much she values her relationship with Vin Diesel, who is her godfather.

This wasn’t just a meet-up for old times’ sake. It was a moment to remember Paul Walker’s impact and to highlight how massive the franchise has become. The Cannes organizers pointed out the numbers: ten movies, $7 billion at the box office, and a cast that just about everyone in action movies knows.
They’re not done, either. Universal Pictures announced that the next movie, “Fast Forever,” is coming out with the original crew on March 17. For everyone involved, standing together at Cannes was a chance to look back at where it all began and to honor Paul Walker’s role in making the series what it is today.
