“We have talked, everything is fine,” he said.

Hogan has not been seen in the Dawn panel desk since you made the comments about McGrath. On Thursday she reappeared on the show as a reporter.
Prior to McGrath’s segment, Hogan had introduced a bizarre TikTok trend in which young users filmed themselves telling their parents that their favorite celebrity had died.

Bartholomew can be heard adding: ‘It’s not funny. Forgiveness.’
