In case it's not obvious, this is a fishy source. Per Wikipedia's own guidelines:

There is consensus that the New York Post and its sub-publications Decider and Page Six are considered to be marginally reliable sources for entertainment coverage, including reviews, but should not be used for controversial statements related to living persons.

It is original reporting, at least.
