- Through Instagram Stories, Hudson Williams reshared François Arnaud's comment on Friday, December 12, asking `Is there only one way to have 'authentic' gay sex on tv?` and urged viewers to `but truly go watch I Love LA!`.
- Firstman then used Instagram Stories on Saturday to clarify his remarks, posting a direct-message screenshot and acknowledging thousands of negative messages.
- Heated Rivalry, created by Jacob Tierney from Rachel Reid's Game Changers books, debuted in late November with episodes releasing Fridays on Crave and HBO Max and was renewed for a second season on December 12, while HBO's comedy I Love LA also earned a renewal recently.
