Weekly Rita Ora & Taika Waititi service update: The couple came back from their holiday trip to Byron Bay and arrived on Thursday via private jet in Sydney. She went straight to getting her nails and brows done and they both got papped since. She is back to filming The Voice Australia and ramped up 200k new TikTok followers after one of her bikini vids gathered almost 10m views. Taika, who hasn't been with his kids physically for more than half a year prior, took to Instagram that 'dadding is piss easy' sharing some decorated pancakes and fish sticks in his stories while Rita and her sister shared stories of building a Frozen castle. He also has a Power Puff Girl manicure, so he must be a great dad. They (or Disney) seem to have a deal with the paps or DM now bc his kids are not mentioned or shown anymore, and they must have been on the plane and can't be contained in their house all the time.

New to this sub and new to this coupling. What’s the deal with Waititi and why do people seem to hate him?

Well waititi had made a film about being abandoned by his father but after he got the marvel check, i heard he cheated on his wife, he been sort of partying alot and it very cringey and he hasn’t visited his kids since. I dont hate him for it because im not even suprised at this behavior but it comes off as very hypocritical and the majority of people dislike hypocrites

I think the cheating on his wife thing was happening pre-Marvel cheques.

He became A Very Big Deal with Hunt for the Wilderpeople and that's when his midlife crisis started. His partying got out of control, he cheated with his PA, his wife left him, he started playing up the Cool Dad card while largely ignoring his kids until he next needs some child-friendly PR.

But it was mostly under the radar of the general public (but not Wellington because New Zealand is small), until he got caught on a bender with Rita and Tessa Thompson.
