Glitz, glam, and glaring absences! Loren LoRosa’s The Latest With Loren LoRosa podcast launch party had it all… except one very conspicuous no-show.
The Breakfast Club co-host turned heads at Manhattan’s swanky Ophelia rooftop lounge this weekend, celebrating her new iHeartRadio venture in a show-stopping orange ensemble. But as photos hit Instagram, fans zeroed in on the elephant not in the room: Jess Hilarious was MIA.
LoRosa took to Instagram to share snippets from the event, rocking a striking orange ensemble consisting of a crop top paired with matching high-waisted leather shorts. She layered the look with a striking red-orange leather jacket, which added an edgy vibe. Loren’s footwear was cream-colored knee-high boots with a pointed toe and textured design, which complimented oversized white sunglasses, giving the outfit a retro-futuristic feel.
Her caption hyped up the launch, crediting her glam team and event sponsors while urging fans to catch up on the episodes. The crowd was stacked with notable faces, including The Breakfast Club’s DJ Envy and his wife, Gia Casey. But while the night seemed picture-perfect, social media buzzed with questions about why Jess Hilarious was nowhere to be seen.
The timing of Jess’ absence raised eyebrows, especially considering the two recently seemed to squash their feud. Just days before the event, they playfully reenacted Brandy and Monica’s iconic The Boy Is Mine, remixing it into The Job Is Mine—a nod to their past tension. For those who missed the drama, Jess previously accused The Breakfast Club producers of trying to hand her job over to LoRosa, sparking a public back-and-forth. So, with their apparent reconciliation fresh on everyone’s minds, fans were expecting to see Jess at the launch, showing support.
Instead, she was MIA. And you know how the internet works—when someone’s missing, the speculation starts flying. Did something go down behind the scenes? Was their “makeup” just for show? Or was it just a scheduling conflict with no hidden drama?
Whatever the case, LoRosa’s event was a success, proving she’s stepping into this new podcast era with confidence and industry backing. As for the Jess situation? Well, let’s just say, we’ll be keeping an eye on what happens next!
