Rhona Bennett has officially announced her departure from En Vogue, just five days after the group performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony without her. Bennett, 49, said she learned of the Nov. 8 performance at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater only after fans contacted her about her absence. The group appeared onstage with Salt-N-Pepa for “Whatta Man,” yet Bennett—who had a separate event scheduled that day—said she was never informed the performance was taking place. Bennett described the experience as a moment of clarity and said it contributed to her decision to step into what she called a “new season of creativity, freedom, and contribution.” Her departure follows a year of shifting dynamics within the group, including the February return of founding member Maxine Jones, who reunited with Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, and Bennett for a four-member configuration earlier in 2025. Jones’ appearance at the Hall of Fame ceremony in Bennett’s absence drew additional attention, particularly given the group’s long history of lineup changes.  During her 22 years with En Vogue, Bennett contributed to the albums Soul Flower (2004) and Electric Café (2018), and performed with the group at major events including the 2020 Billboard Music Awards and the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. She also maintained a thriving career outside the group, founding Personal Power University and releasing her second solo album, Instant Classic, in 2024. With Bennett’s exit, En Vogue continues as a trio of founding members Ellis and Herron alongside the recently returned Jones—reviving speculation about the possibility of a full reunion with original member Dawn Robinson.

Paris Jackson’s effort to challenge the handling of her late father Michael Jackson’s estate encountered a setback after a Los Angeles court struck key portions of her petition. On Nov. 10, retired judge and specially appointed referee Mitchell L. Beckloff granted a motion from estate executors John Branca and John McClain, ruling that several claims in Paris’ filing targeted documents protected under California’s anti-SLAPP statute. The decision leaves her responsible for some of the estate’s attorney fees. The dispute centers on concerns Paris first raised in July 2025, including irregular “premium” payments to estate attorneys and slow, inconsistent financial filings she argued limited transparency for beneficiaries such as herself and brothers Bigi and Prince. While Beckloff struck claims involving protected filings, he left intact allegations tied to irregular approvals and procedural clarity. A spokesperson for Paris emphasized that the ruling was “limited to minor procedural issues” and said she intends to submit an updated petition. Executors Branca and McClain have defended their stewardship of Michael Jackson’s estimated $2 billion estate, noting they inherited massive debts but have since produced substantial profits for beneficiaries—claiming Paris alone has received around $65 million. With the court’s ruling, the executors maintain broad control over estate operations, even as the surviving elements of Paris’ petition allow for limited review. The dispute continues as major projects tied to the pop icon’s legacy move forward, including licensing deals and the highly anticipated biopic Michael.
