Brendan Fitzpatrick is in the throes of a legal battle.
Former reality TV star from Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and his company, Carbonatik, are being sued by Heavy Metal Capital Partners. The lawsuit claims that Carbonatik ran a fraudulent investment operation similar to a Ponzi scheme, causing Heavy Metal Capital Partners to lose approximately $80 million.
Heavy Metal Capital filed a lawsuit in Florida last November, claiming that Fitzpatrick and his company deliberately misled and deceived multiple people to steal their money. TopMob News reviewed the lawsuit on June 17th.
David Smith and Richard Sergeson from Heavy Metal Capital are suing Carbonatik, as well as its representatives J. Joseph Kamalesh Swaminathan and Fitzpatrick. They allege that in January 2025, they were shown a false letter of intent stating Carbonatik had “hundreds of millions of dollars” worth of clean energy projects, which ultimately caused them considerable professional harm.
As a long-time follower, I was shocked to learn that Carbonatik actually asked Heavy Metal Capital for a $500,000 investment just a month later! They promised a huge 120% dividend starting in July 2025, and said it would continue for the next 20 years. Even more concerning, they claimed production was already funded and ready to go, which turned out to be completely untrue. It’s incredibly disappointing to see this kind of behavior.
A trial was originally scheduled for May 24, 2027, but earlier this month, Carbonatik and Fitzpatrick asked the court to dismiss the case brought against them by Heavy Metal Capital. TopMob News has seen the legal document where they requested the dismissal of the entire complaint.
Carbonatik is asking the court to dismiss the claims made by Smith and Sergeson, arguing that they haven’t demonstrated any actual harm.
Carbonatik also points out that Heavy Metal Capital is only mentioning the $500,000 they paid as damages, but isn’t claiming that Smith or Segerson actually lost any money or suffered any real harm themselves.
Heavy Metal Capital requested more time to submit an updated legal complaint on June 4th. Carbonatik countered with a filing on June 15th, arguing that this request should be rejected.
TopMob News has contacted lawyers representing both Carbonatik and Heavy Metal Capital, but they haven’t responded yet.
Even with a recent legal issue, Fitzpatrick has been openly sharing glimpses into his life with his wife, Chloe Fitzpatrick, and their daughter, who was born in 2024. He recently posted a heartfelt Mother’s Day message on Instagram on May 10th, saying, “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom! We love you!”
Fitzpatrick’s former partner, Morgan Stewart, who famously found love and got married on the show Rich Kids, now has two children with her husband, Jordan McGraw.
Fitzpatrick and Stewart became a couple while filming Rich Kids, but Stewart later revealed that wanting to start a family led her to question whether the relationship would work out.
In a 2020 interview with TopMob News, a year after filing for divorce, Stewart explained that she and her ex-partner weren’t compatible for a long-term future. She said they realized they couldn’t build a life together, including raising children, and ultimately decided they weren’t meant to be partners. She affirmed it was the correct decision.

Former Bachelorette star Gabby Windey and her wife, Robby Hoffman, secretly got married in Las Vegas in January 2025 and waited several months to share the news – until mid-March. Windey, who also won The Traitors, described the ceremony to Cosmopolitan as “the best.” They decided to get married quickly after having to evacuate their home due to the L.A. fires.
Hoffman remembered that while staying in a hotel room that felt like a wedding suite, Gabby suddenly asked, “Should we get married?” Windey quickly found a lace dress and played Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!” as Gabby playfully walked down the aisle.
There were roses everywhere, which Windey jokingly compared to the show The Bachelor. But she was most excited to have a private date with the star of Hacks.
Honestly, being with Robby is just the best. Getting that one-on-one time with him to celebrate such a special night… it was so incredibly joyful, it actually brought tears to my eyes. It was a perfect moment.

In a surprising turn of events, Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell announced their breakup on January 16, 2025, just hours after sharing photos from a trip to London with his Instagram followers.

She explained that they simply weren’t a good match, and he had come to the realization she should be wanting a proposal by now. He felt like after being together for so long, she should want to get engaged and be ready for marriage, but he wasn’t feeling it himself. He admitted he didn’t see a future where he would propose or even marry her.

She explained that Thurston’s actions showed his commitment, truly sticking by her ‘in sickness and in health’ and demonstrating he’s a steadfast partner.
Last July, Thurston gave a more positive update, sharing that her tumors had gotten smaller, with her husband supporting her. She told TopMob News in October, “Considering everything, I’m doing well.”

I really believed in Ally Lewber and James Kennedy as a couple – as a spiritual person, Ally made me feel like their connection was meant to be! It was so disappointing to see things fall apart, especially after James’ arrest in December 2024. It just felt like everything changed after that.
Launching her StarStruck podcast in April, Lewber described the situation with Kennedy as difficult and very public. She now understands it was a harmful relationship, though prosecutors eventually decided against filing charges.
Now that she’s moved on, she shared her excitement about focusing on astrology and pursuing her passions, leaving behind her work with DJs and reality television. She also clarified that she and James Kennedy are no longer a couple, but she will always be there to support his recovery and well-being.

As someone who’s seen countless couples tie the knot, I always say it’s about the connection, not the spectacle. And that really resonated with Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar! After getting married in May, they realized their original wedding plans were becoming a bit overwhelming. Kaity shared on the ‘Bachelor Happy Hour’ podcast that she took a step back and thought, ‘Do we really need all this?’ She realized the most important thing was staying true to their love for each other – focusing on the big picture rather than getting lost in tiny details. It’s such a refreshing perspective, and honestly? I think they nailed it!
After a small, private wedding ceremony with only seven family members present, the couple celebrated with a larger gathering that felt more like a fun group outing.
The couple celebrated their wedding with around 100 guests on November 15th, including several stars from The Bachelor franchise like Joey Graziadei, Kelsey Anderson, Charity Lawson, Dotun Olubeko, Susie Evans, and Kathy Swarts. They’re also excited about starting a family soon, telling People magazine they’re hoping to begin trying for a baby in the fall of 2026.

When the client service associate appeared on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast last December, she felt it was time to be completely honest about what happened.

She also revealed that the next morning, he immediately started discussing how they could publicly announce their breakup, even though she hadn’t yet decided if she wanted to end things.

After obtaining a temporary restraining order against her ex, Phypers, following accusations of abuse – which he refutes – she chose not to share specifics about their split.

I was listening to Tilley on the Scrubbing In podcast – seriously, she’s so insightful – and she totally hinted that they might get married somewhere exotic. Like, a destination wedding!

Lo Bosworth and her husband, Domenic “Dom” Natale, first connected on July 20, 2025. While they originally planned a big wedding in New York City after getting engaged in January 2025, their plans changed. As Lo Bosworth explained to People magazine, once they started planning with their families, they decided a smaller, more private ceremony at home would be ideal, especially if she became pregnant.
Love Wellness founder and her husband got married at her parents’ house in Laguna Beach, California, when she was four months pregnant. She described the wedding as a relaxed and colorful luncheon, saying they wanted a welcoming atmosphere rather than a formal one, especially since they encouraged guests to swim in the pool during the backyard reception.

On January 15, 2026, the new mom shared an Instagram post with the caption: “Our girl Nelle is here!” She explained that their little one arrived two weeks early but felt perfectly timed.

In a now-deleted post, Smith advised followers to check their partner’s phone immediately and search for phrases like ‘I don’t like Black women,’ ‘I thought I would get more money from this,’ ‘I’m faking this relationship,’ ‘going on the show is just for attention,’ and ‘I can’t wait to end this so I can sleep with a lot of other people.’
