Tom Hanks has shared his reaction to accusations of abuse in his daughter’s new memoir.

People reports that the actor has responded to the assertions made in “The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road,” written by his daughter E.A. Hanks, about her mother, actor Samantha Lewes.

Lewes and Tom Hanks were divorced in 1987, and she was given primary custody of their children.

In the book, People reports, E.A. Hanks says Lewes used both “emotional violence” and “physical violence” against her, and that her years between ages 5 and 14 were “filled with confusion, violence, deprivation and love.”

She wrote that she was once the subject of physical abuse, which led to her returning to her father’s primary custody.

When asked about the issues, Tom Hanks spoke admiringly about his daughter.

“I’m not surprised that my daughter had the wherewithal as well as the curiosity to examine this thing that I think she was incredibly honest about,” Hanks said. “We all come from checkered, cracked lives, all of us.”

Nick Jonas to play rocker paul stanley in kiss biopic

Nick Jonas was made for rock ’n’ roll, at least on screen, as he’s been tapped to play Kiss frontman Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic about the glam rock band.

Jonas will reportedly lead the cast of “Shout It Out Loud,” a film that’s said to follow the rockers’ early days in the 1970s, according to Deadline.

Sources told the outlet that Jonas will be doing his own singing, but that he’ll need time to train in order to replicate Stanley’s voice.

“Shout It Out Loud” is being helmed by McG, known for films like “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and “Uglies.” No other casting decisions have been revealed.

Yes, Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini still friends

There was a time when Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez seemed joined at the hip.

Then they appeared to no longer be friends.

Remini gave some insight into where the two now stand in an interview with Us Weekly.

“Right after the divorce, we’d text each other loving messages of support,” she told the publication. Remini filed for divorce from her husband of 21 years, Angelo Pagán, in August. Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck the same month.

It was speculated the women had had a falling out after Remini did not attend Lopez’s wedding to Affleck in 2022.

“Sometimes you don’t talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn’t mean the love is lost,” Remini explained.

“Friendships ebb and flow,” she said. “That doesn’t mean we’re at odds.”
