Dylan O'Brien slammed by trans sibling for lack of support: ‘He hasn't spoken to me in over a year'
Dylan O'Brien's alleged family drama is being exposed.
The 33-year-old actor was recently called out by his trans sibling, Julz, after he opened up about their relationship last year at the Sundance Film Festival.
While promoting his queer thriller film 'Ponyboi' at the time, O'Brien told Vulture, 'I have a trans, non-binary sibling and I know people in my personal life as well who are queer. I am so grateful for how much it deepens my experience in this world.'

But after Gay Times shared an Instagram post on May 1 with a writeup of O'Brien's comments and details about his alleged close bond with his sibling, Julz shared a very different side to the story in the comments section.
First, Julz clarified, 'I'm actually trans masc and go by he/they pronouns,' after the Queer Times post said Julz is trans non-binary.

Julz then called O'Brien out while responding to another person's comment that accused O'Brien's girlfriend, model Rachael Lange, of being homophobic and racist.
'He also hasn't spoken to me in over a year,' Julz wrote. 'He didn't check in when I had top surgery. He didn't even wish me a happy bday last week!'
'But glad I could deepen his experience in this world and make the world live him that much more,' Julz added with a smirking face emoji.

In another comment, Julz wrote, 'Kinda funny that this article didn't ask me for a single thing about myself? It's about me and uses my photo. I'm not even tagged.'
The Post has reached out to O'Brien's rep for comment.
Julz previously posted an Instagram tribute to O'Brien on the actor's birthday in August 2022.

Alongside photos of the pair, Julz wrote, 'Happy Birthday, Dyl!! Love you so much 🎉💥🕺🏼🍻🥳🤙🏼.'
Two years earlier, Julz called the 'Teen Wolf' alum their 'very first best friend' in another birthday tribute.
In 2019, Julz shared a throwback picture of the siblings and wrote, 'I know I'm over a week late on this one, but I was too busy celebrating with you in person to fish out a cutie pic of us🕺🏼🥳 HAPPY 28TH BIRTHDAY LIL BRO! I love you literally more than I know how to express ♥️.'

He told Adobe last year about the film, 'Going in, I was extremely uneducated on intersex and the intersex community. This was such an enlightening experience for me, and [River is] someone I hold so dearly now: a friend I'll have with me for the rest of my life.'

I tried to have production move it to another day and they couldn't swing it sadly.' The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 reunion special is on Hulu on Tuesday, July 1.

ESPN's Jay Harris shares major health update after prostate cancer reveal
'SportsCenter' anchor Jay Harris said he is recovering from a successful surgery to remove his prostate after revealing his cancer diagnosis earlier this month. In a social media video posted Monday, the 60-year-old ESPN stalwart explained his prostate cancer did not spread and that he's doing well while recovering at home. 'My doctor said the surgery went really well,' Harris said. 'So well, in fact, that the cancer that was in my prostate stayed there. It didn't spread to any surrounding areas. So when he took the prostate out, he took that with it. So it's all good. Harris added he'll be resting at home and will return to work next month. 'There are other details that I won't bore you with, but the main thing is, we're all good. And [I'm] looking forward to July 12, getting back to 'SportsCenter,' getting back to work. 3 'SportsCenter' anchor Jay Harris said he is recovering from a successful surgery to remove his prostate after he revealed his cancer diagnosis earlier this month. X/Jay Harris 'So just home resting up, chilling. [I] appreciate the prayers and the thoughts — and the messages and the calls and the deliveries, thank you so much. Appreciate all the love and I will holler. Peace.' Harris received an outpouring of support on Instagram from his ESPN colleagues, including Kimberley Martin, Kelsey Riggs and Ryan Clark. 3 'SportsCenter' anchors Hannah Storm and Jay Harris on the ESPN set. ESPN Harris revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis on June 5 during an appearance on 'Good Morning America,' explaining at the time that his doctor was 'quite optimistic' about his prognosis.

'The Boys' season 5 reportedly just finished filming — here's when we think it'll debut on Prime Video
"The Boys" season 5 could be arriving on Prime Video sooner than we think. On Saturday (June 21), actress Isabella Crovetti posted a pair of photos to their Instagram story from what appeared to be the "The Boys" season 5 wrap party (h/t Bleeding Cool). The photos have since disappeared, but the fan account The Boys Universe screencaptured the photos and shared them on their own Instagram account. A post shared by The Boys Universe (@ A photo posted by on Isabella might not be a familiar name to fans of Prime Video's superhero show, but her brother Cameron Crovetti plays Ryan Butcher on the show and is set to have a big role in the show's final season. As the illegitimate, superpowered son of Homelander (Antony Starr) and Billy Butcher's wife Becca (Shantel VanSanten), he could even be the deciding factor in the war between Homelander and Butcher (Karl Urban). Cameron wasn't the only one spotted at the wrap party, though. Posts from The Boys Universe showed some other show stars in attendance, including Jessie T. Usher (A-Train), Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko), Starr, Nathan Mitchell (Balck Noir II) and Erin Moriarty (Starlight). Barring these photos turning out to be the greatest photoshopped/generative AI-created images ever, it sure looks like "The Boys" has finished principal photography on season 5. Reshoots may eventually be needed, but the final season seems to be ready for the edit bay. But when will we see the last batch of episodes be released on Prime Video? Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I still think that season 5 won't premiere on Prime Video until 2026. Back in May 2024, both show creator Eric Kripke and show star Karl Urban indicated that season 5 was about two years away. Things may be currently ahead of schedule, given that a May 2026 release window would give "The Boys" a pretty long post-production window of around 11 months, but I don't think they're so far ahead that episodes will be ready in 2025. Plus, the Prime Video release calendar is starting to fill out. "Gen V," the spin-off show of "The Boys," drops its second season in September, and it seems that "Gen V" season 2 will be set between seasons 4 and 5 of "The Boys." That means "The Boys" can't arrive until after the October 22 "Gen V" season 2 finale. Then, "Fallout" season 2 premieres in December, likely extending into January 2026. To allow Prime Video's IP shows room to breathe, that signals to me "The Boys" season 5 won't come any earlier than February 2026. That'd still be a few months ahead of our current projection of May 2026, but with filming now wrapped, I won't be shocked if we see "The Boys" season 5 premiere in early Spring 2026. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:
