‘OMG!! She’s So Tiny ‘: Whoopi Goldberg’s Drastic Transformation Has Fans Saying This Is the Thinnest They’ve Ever Seen Her
Whoopi Goldberg‘s dramatic transformation has left fans doing double takes and flooding social media with concern after her latest public appearance showcased a startlingly different silhouette than they’re accustomed to seeing from the beloved entertainer.
The EGOT winner turned heads at New York Fashion Week on Friday, Sept. 12, attending an event at Macy’s Herald Square at Christian Siriano Fashion Show that had some online observers questioning whether they were looking at the same person they knew from movies like “Ghost” or “Sister Act 2.”
Whoopi Goldberg’s dramatic weight loss has left fans concerned and saying she’s unrecognizably thin after her recent New York Fashion Week appearance. Whoopi Goldberg (The View Screengrab)Goldberg appeared noticeably smaller than in recent memory, prompting a wave of commentary about her physical appearance that ranged from admiration to genuine worry about her well-being.
During red carpet interviews at the fashion event, the 69-year-old Goldberg shared a charming anecdote when asked about the most sentimental item in her closet, revealing it was a bra from 1962.
However, it was her dramatically reduced frame that dominated conversations afterward, when E! News posted it on Instagram.

“These drugs got everybody deflated and parched,” one person wrote, while another admitted, “Didn’t recognise her at first must admit she looks younger.”
The reactions weren’t universally positive, with some expressing concern about the extent of her weight reduction.
“Whoopi should not be this thin,” one person commented, capturing the sentiment of many who felt her current size might be excessive.
Another was more emphatic, stating, “OMG .. no no no .. I know you’re lying!! At her age, being that thin isn’t flattering!!”
The dramatic change also drew simple expressions of shock, with one user exclaiming, “OMG!! She’s so tiny.”
Yet one detail drew the sharpest criticism, and it was her outfit. One person scoffed, “What the hell is she wearing? She’s dwindling away… Ozempic?”
Another quipped, “(Outfit) Looks like a pile of rags.” Still another said, “You cannot dress to save your life.”
Goldberg’s journey to her current size began when she realized she had reached nearly 300 pounds while filming the 2022 drama “Till.”
The wake-up call came from an unexpected source — a stranger who mistakenly believed she was wearing a prosthetic for the role.
“The movie was good, but that fat suit was terrible,” the woman commented, not knowing she was referring to Goldberg’s actual body. This moment of mistaken identity, shared by Goldberg on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” catalyzed her decision to pursue weight reduction.
The transformation has been substantial, with Goldberg describing her progress as losing “almost two people” — a reference to the significant number of pounds she’s shed through the use of Mounjaro, a medication she’s been open about utilizing.
Speaking to the “Mr. Know It All” singer in May 2024, she explained how she hadn’t fully grasped the extent of her weight gain until that jarring encounter.
“I always felt like me, and then I saw me and thought, ‘Oh, that’s a lot of me,'” she reflected.
Her candid discussion about using weight-loss medication came during an episode of “The View,” around the same time, sparked by Oprah Winfrey’s ABC special about the topic.
Goldberg’s co-host Sunny Hostin also shared her experience, revealing she gained 40 pounds during the pandemic before turning to the same medication.
Hostin addressed the stigma surrounding obesity treatment, noting how people with diabetes or heart disease receive treatment without shame, while those dealing with weight issues often face judgment.
“When someone is obese, they are shamed for it,” Hostin observed, adding that her cholesterol improved from 200 to 140 after using the medication.
Recently, Goldberg has had to address a different concern: fraudulent advertisements using artificial intelligence to falsely promote weight-loss products with her likeness.
During a February 2025 episode of “The View,” she warned viewers about fake Instagram ads featuring an AI-generated version of herself promoting drugs she doesn’t endorse, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I don’t sell anything unless I say, ‘Hey it’s me, Whoopi.’ That’s how you know it’s me,” she clarified.
The reactions to Goldberg’s appearance at New York Fashion Week reflect the complex relationship society has with weight, health, and public figures. While some celebrate her achievement and note she looks younger, others worry she may have gone too far in the opposite direction, echoing the sentiment that in 2025, perhaps Whoopi shouldn’t be quite this thin.
’17 and Flashing’: Outrage Erupts as Nicole Kidman’s Teenage Daughter Wears Sheer Outfit Right in Front of Her Mom
Nicole Kidman‘s teenage daughter, Sunday Rose, made jaws drop during her latest New York Fashion Week runway appearance.
While the eldest daughter of the Oscar-winning actress and country superstar Keith Urban looked chic in the head-to-toe Chanel ensemble, social media users were divided over whether the look was appropriate for a minor.

“17 and flashing. What a proud moment for her and her parents,” one Page Six reader commented after the outlet shared photos of Sunday.
Another wrote, “Looks like she’s following in the footsteps of mom… maybe she can make out with every man in Hollywood also… you go girl…”
“Sheer! Or is it?” added another critic.
Many commenters labeled Sunday a “Nepo baby,” questioning her status and legitimacy as a “real model.”
Some even suggested her success was “all paid for by mommy.” Another said, “It’s all about who your mommy & daddy are nowadays.”
Regardless of public opinion about her outfit or her famous lineage, Sunday is enjoying her moment in the spotlight.
She made her runway debut in October 2024 for Miu Miu and later secured a spot in the brand’s campaign for their Spring 2025 collection. Following her debut, Kidman — who began modeling at age 14 — spoke with E! News on the red carpet at the second season premiere of “Lioness” and expressed how “incredibly proud and supportive” she is of her daughter’s modeling career.
“I’m just there for her. Just being a mom,” she said, later adding, “I was just like, ‘You got this baby.’ I’m trying to give her her own space, you know? [Not be] overbearing or dominant in any way.”
In August, Sunday landed her first magazine cover as Nylon’s “It” girl. In the accompanying interview, she shared that she wasn’t able to “explore any kind of fashion work” until she turned 16, and that “school came first.” She also mentioned that when she meets people her own age, they usually don’t know “anything about her,” which allows her to make a genuine “first impression.”
Some observers have taken Kidman’s insistence on delaying Sunday’s entry into the fashion world as a sign of her awareness of how fraught the industry can be.
Kidman’s own filmography includes some provocative choices, such as her role in 1999’s “Eyes Wide Shut” with then-husband Tom Cruise.
The Australian actress isn’t beating the spicy allegations with her current roles either. In a candid interview with The Sun, she revealed that filming her 2024 erotic thriller “BabyGirl” became so intense that production had to be paused.
“There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore,’” she explained. “It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout,” later adding, “I don’t care if I’m ever touched again.”
The “Big Little Lies” star elaborated on the physical and emotional toll of the production. “There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Don’t touch me. Don’t come near me. I hate doing this.”
Despite the strain, Kidman emphasized that the rehearsal process — particularly the six hours she spent getting to know her co-star Harris Dickinson — was necessary. Thanks to the “very protected” environment created by director Halina Reijn, she ultimately found the experience to be “freeing” and “liberating.”
“There was enormous care taken by all of us. We were all very, very gentle with each other and helped each other,” Kidman concluded.
‘Barely Fit’: Beyoncé’s ‘New Body’ In Lingerie Has Fans Doing a Double Take at Her Jaw-Dropping Curves
Beyoncé recently turned heads on social media with a shocking return after skipping the celebration on her 44th birthday.
The “Crazy In Love” superstar posted the intimate images on Sept. 13, nearly ten days after her actual birthday on Sept. 4, wearing a show-stopping lace silhouette ensemble that stopped many in their tracks.
Beyoncé’s new birthday post has fans zooming in on her jaw-dropping curves. (Photo: Beyonce/Instagram_The custom sheer, dark red Dolce & Gabbana gown clung perfectly to her famous figure, featuring delicate lace details that pooled elegantly around her feet.
Her outfit left little to the imagination, with the Grammy-winning artist sporting a black bralette and matching undergarments beneath the translucent fabric. She completed the look with coordinating lace gloves and open-toed pumps, while her signature honey-blond locks cascaded past her shoulders in flowing curls.
For some shots, Beyoncé added a luxurious fuzzy dark red jacket that draped to her elbows, creating layers of texture against a simple backdrop.
The post, captioned simply “Thank you so much for my birthday love. I’m thankful to God for another year. Peace and Love,” complete with her signature bee emoji, garnered millions of likes within hours.
“She might have barely fit in that dress, but her ego didn’t!” wrote one internet user.
When The Shade Room shared the images across their platforms, fans wasted no time responding with mixed reviews.

“Bee with the new body,” one admirer wrote, as someone else wrote, “The moment Beyoncé hit 40 she decided she wasn’t going to cover up anymore.”
Another wrote, “That lady body did not look that during her tour. but go off Auntie Bey!!!”
One person wrote, “It’s so funny how nobody ever say she’s thirst trappin lol @beyonce what’s up at home for you to be showing us your lingerie and you’re married.”
Others talked about how wearing what seems to be undergarments on the red carpet is a thing: “Why must lingerie be worn outside/posted for public consumption?”

The birthday celebration continued with an additional post featuring the entertainer in a Roberto Cavalli dress, the same stunning piece she wore to Reform Alliance’s Casino Night and Gala.
These images marked her first Instagram activity since July 27, when she shared memorable moments from the Destiny’s Child reunion during her Las Vegas Cowboy Carter tour stop.

Beyoncé’s bold fashion choice reflects a broader trend of celebrities embracing intimate apparel as statement pieces for public appearances. Zoë Kravitz recently made waves at the Paris premiere of “Caught Stealing” wearing a Saint Laurent slip dress that divided opinions online. The actress paired the silk satin nightgown-inspired piece with matching Saint Laurent Frankie Mules, creating a look that sparked intense debate about appropriate red carpet attire.
Similarly, Olympic champion Simone Biles elevated the slip dress-as-outerwear trend during Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary celebration in New York City.
The gymnastics superstar commanded attention in a cream-colored David Koma sequin mini slip dress with leather trim, paired with towering Jimmy Choo Max 150 platform sandals. Her appearance demonstrated how athletes are successfully transitioning into fashion influencers, making bold style statements beyond their sporting achievements.
Some couldn’t care less about her sheer dress, marveling at marveled at Beyoncé’s consistent ability to captivate audiences across decades, writing, “To be Fine your whole life is crazy work.”
Despite mixed reactions, Beyoncé’s confident embrace of the trend reinforces her position as a style icon who continuously pushes boundaries while maintaining elegance.
‘She Lost a Lot of Weight’: Actress Chrissy Metz Looks Nothing Like Her ‘This Is Us’ Self After Shocking 100-Pound Transformation
Chrissy Metz just landed her biggest magazine cover yet, and it’s not just because of her acting chops. The former “This Is Us” star, who played Kate Pearson, is serving major weight loss energy after quietly and completely rewriting her health story.
The 44-year-old actress made headlines, showcasing her dramatically smaller figure than when she first appeared on the NBC series in 2016. Former co-star Mandy Moore has emerged as one of Metz’s most vocal champions, expressing pure joy upon seeing her friend gracing the August cover of People Magazine after shedding 100 lbs.

(Photos: @chrissymetz/Instagram; @PopCrave/X)Moore’s enthusiastic response to the outlet – “It just made my day” – speaks to the authentic friendship that developed during their time portraying mother and daughter on “This Is Us.”
The 41-year-old actress emphasized that nobody deserves recognition more than Metz, praising her work ethic and natural talent across multiple entertainment mediums.
When Y! Entertainment reposted the People story about her journey, many readers commented under that post.

— People (@people) September 13, 2025“She’s lost a lot of weight. If she loses too much too quickly … She needs to do it slowly under a doctor’s supervision and I suspect that is what she is doing,” one concerned supporter commented.
The weight loss medication conversation has inevitably surfaced, with curious observers wondering about her stance on popular options like weight loss supplements.

(Photos: @chrissymetz/Instagram; @PopCrave/X)Metz’ journey to a healthier lifestyle came on the heels of her stunning red carpet debut at Variety’s Power of Women event in Nashville this past May, where she stepped out in a colorful pastel dress and white cowboy boots, confidently displaying the results of her dedicated wellness journey.
Metz’s approach has been to focus on strength training and consistent weight lifting sessions with her Nashville-based personal trainer.

— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) June 11, 2017The actress has been refreshingly honest about her motivation, explaining that her primary goal centers on aging gracefully and maintaining strength rather than chasing specific numbers on a scale. Her workout routine emphasizes building muscle to combat future concerns about osteoporosis and arthritis.
The entertainment industry has taken notice of Metz’s evolution, with her career trajectory reflecting this personal growth.
A lot of pointing fingers in tonight's episode of #ThisIsUs.
See you in 30mins! pic.twitter.com/YJ4m7yPyo2
Her latest project, Netflix’s murder mystery series “The Hunting Wives” alongside Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman, represents a significant departure from her previous roles. This casting choice suggests Hollywood’s recognition of her expanding range beyond the weight-focused storylines that initially defined her television presence.
Metz has addressed these speculations with characteristic grace, emphasizing the deeply personal nature of health decisions while avoiding judgment of others’ choices.
Her journey from childhood struggles with food and alleged family trauma to Hollywood success and now personal transformation reads like a carefully crafted redemption story. The actress has been transparent about using food as emotional support throughout difficult periods, including her time working as a casting agent when depression led to significant weight gain, according to People. In 2020, she stepped back from Hollywood to pursue a music career, which has not evolved into live performances.
Metz’s magazine cover moment represents more than physical transformation – it symbolizes reclaiming control over her narrative and health destiny.
‘So Vile’: MAGA Maniacs Go After Black Professor After She Says Charlie Kirk and His Followers Terrorized Her for Months
An author, speaker and professor at Morgan State University and Howard University is facing a brutal onslaught online from the MAGA sphere after posting a statement about the violent threats she received after right-wing influencer and political extremist Charlie Kirk added her to his so-called “Professor Watchlist,” also known as his “digital hit list,” last year.
Stacey Patton’s post comes just days after Kirk was gunned down at a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday as he discussed mass shootings in the U.S.
“I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her more than 200,000 Facebook followers.
Charlie Kirk and Stacey Patton (Photos: Getty Images, howard.edu)“His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life,” she continued.
Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA, a right-wing youth organization and nonprofit that advocates for conservative politics on high school and college campuses. Although branded as a group that supports “patriotism” and “freedom,” it has a record of rhetoric and alliances that align with white supremacists and Christian nationalist ideologies.
Something that’s apparent in the abuse Patton and many other educators have endured over the years at the hands of Turning Point and the MAGA faithful, if they were labeled by Kirk and his followers as advancing “leftist propaganda.”
“For weeks, my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” Patton described.
“They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton said. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.”
“And I am not unique,” she added.
She said, “Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism, suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse.”
Patton said the death threat and threats to their jobs forced many to leave academia altogether.
“That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she continued.
Patton questioned the bipartisan outpouring of grief after Kirk was assassinated.
“But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!”
“And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.”
“Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives,” Patton wrote. “It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant.”
The MAGA maniacs on social media couldn’t take it and stepped up where Kirk and his followers left off, spewing out the worst vitriol against Patton imaginable.
So many educators, so vile.

“She has no business teaching anyone. Period. Disgusting. Vile. Liar. No consideration for the life of the man or his wife and kids left without him,” this X user posted.
Another whined, “Imagine being so utterly useless that you mock the assassination of a man who, through sheer will and faith in Christ, reshaped American politics. These are weak people with weak minds saying weak things.”
“I didn’t realize that she teaches at a HBCU. She is truly vile and produces hatred in blacks against whites. She is a top notch racist,” X user Kay Lynn proclaimed.
Plenty of people countered MAGA’s rhetoric, too.
“Unfortunately for you people some people don’t humanize racists and Nazis. No amount of cancel culture…gaslighting bullsh-t will change that. Kirk was a horrible human and people will stand strong in that truth,” X user Cloud countered.
“She is entitled to her opinions. I don’t think Kirk would want it any other way,” Filippo Valguarnera pointed out on X.
“She’s not wrong,” this X user stated.
‘What Is All You Doing, Man?’: A Black Man Was in a Dodge, Cops Were Looking for a Malibu — The K-9 Attack Was Just the Start
A Black man who was viciously mauled by a police dog in Ohio after a license plate reader falsely indicated he was driving a stolen car has agreed to a settlement.
Brandon Upchurch was driving a red Dodge pickup truck with the license plate number JLL 7637 when he was pulled over after a license plate reader confused it with a tan Chevrolet Malibu with the license plate number JLL 7362.
Toledo police officer Adrian Wilson apparently did not see the discrepancy between the two plates when he pulled Upchurch over on April 11, 2024.
A Black man mauled by a police dog after he was falsely accused of driving a stolen car has agreed to a settlement. (Photo: Body camera)Even after Wilson read off Upchurch’s license plate number to a dispatcher who apparently informed him it was not the same number as the one from the stolen car, Wilson called for backup anyway, arresting him on charges of obstructing and resisting arrest.
“They instantly came out with the guns drawn,” Upchurch, who was driving a red Dodge pickup truck, told local media last year.
“They did not come to my car and ask me for license, insurance, etc., anything.”
The settlement still needs to be approved by the Toledo City Council, according to WTVG-TV. And at this time, it is not clear how much he will be receiving but he was seeking at least $75,000 in his lawsuit.
The arrest proved to be another example of cops detaining Black people at gunpoint whose license plate numbers did not match the ones allegedly involved in a crime.
Watch the video below.
Verbal ReprimandAn internal investigation cleared the cops of wrongdoing stemming from the dog attack but Wilson received a verbal reprimand for “failing to verify the plate as stolen,” the lawsuit stated.
Three months after Upchurch’s arrest, with his charges still pending, Wilson — having just been reprimanded — charged Upchurch with an additional charge of failing to comply with a lawful order. All three charges were dismissed in August 2024.
Police body camera footage shows Wilson ordering Upchurch to lie on the ground while the Black man demanded to know why he had been pulled over, telling the cops all he did was pick up his cousin from work.
As the cops repeated their orders to lie on the ground, Upchurch began walking toward the muddy grass at the side of the road and was starting to kneel to comply when the cop sicced the dog on him.
“Get the f_ck off me,” Upchurch said. “What is all you doing, man?”
“Put your hands behind your back,” one of the cops said. “Don’t you f-cking move.”
The Toledo chapter of the NAACP described the arrest as “unwarranted” and “inhumane.”
“Our police are here to serve, not to occupy our neighborhoods even when they believe a violation of the law has been committed,” the Rev. Willie Perryman III, president of the Toledo NAACP branch, told the Toledo Blade.
According to the lawsuit filed on April 9.
Upon seeing the flashing lights of Officer Wilson’s patrol car, Upchurch pulled over to the side of the road near the intersection of Albion and Post. Officer Wilson then failed to visually verify that Upchurch’s license plate number matched the stolen plate reported by the FLOCK system. Instead, he proceeded to take cover behind his patrol car door, pointed his gun toward Upchurch, and ordered Upchurch to turn off his truck and throw his keys out of the vehicle. At no point did Officer Wilson explain to Upchurch why he had been pulled over.
Officer Wilson then contacted dispatch to request backup. On his call to dispatch, he read off the actual license plate number on Upchurch’s truck. At this point, Officer Wilson knew that Upchurch’s truck did not match the report from the FLOCK system, but he proceeded with the stop anyway because “he believed that there was something more to the situation, based on [Upchurch’s] behavior.” On information and belief, the dispatcher also responded to Wilson with information confirming that Upchurch’s truck was not in fact stolen.
After a backup unit arrived, Wilson told the other officers that Upchurch was being noncompliant; however, Wilson made no mention of the fact that Upchurch’s license plate number did not match the stolen car reported by the FLOCK system. The newly arrived officers took over providing cover and pointed their weapons at Upchurch’s truck while Wilson retrieved his K9 partner from his patrol car.
The incident marked another instance of modern technology racially profiling innocent Black people, proving to be just as biased as the cops themselves.
In fact, a 2018 study cited by the ACLU determined that facial recognition technology misidentified Black women 35 percent of the time while hardly ever getting it wrong for white men.
“If government agencies like police departments and the FBI are authorized to deploy invasive face surveillance technologies against our communities, these technologies will unquestionably be used to target Black and Brown people merely for existing,” the ACLU states.
‘Lock Them…Up’: Donald Trump Exposed In International Spy Plot Involving Three Americans
Denmark has accused President Donald Trump and his administration of carrying out a secret influence campaign in Greenland to promote secession from Denmark to the U.S.
The country’s foreign minister summoned the top U.S. diplomat to Copenhagen after Denmark’s main national broadcaster reported that at least three Americans with ties to Trump had been identified in connection with the covert operation.
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media during a guided tour of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts before leading a board meeting on March 17, 2025, in Washington, DC. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)State broadcaster DR said it knows the names of the operatives but decided not to reveal them. It also said its information on Trump’s covert campaign came from eight sources and that Danish intelligence services had uncovered the “influence operations” aimed at causing a rift between Denmark and its territory.
The Trump administration’s response? A White House official would not confirm the operation but did say, “We think the Danes need to calm down,” according to the BBC.
The State Department did confirm in a statement that Deputy Chief of Mission in Copenhagen Mark Stroh had met with Danish officials, but said, in terms of the alleged influence campaign, it would not comment “on the actions of private U.S. citizens in Greenland.”
“The U.S. government does not control or direct the actions of private citizens,” it said.
State Department Officials said Stroh had “a productive conversation and reaffirmed the strong ties among the Government of Greenland, the United States, and Denmark,” NPR reported.
The statement went on to say the U.S. relationship with Denmark and NATO is a valuable one and that Trump and his top officials have all said they respect “the right of the people of Greenland to determine their own future.”
“We continue to foster engagement and cooperation with Denmark and Greenland to support increased security and prosperity for our nations,” it said.
Trump has said repeatedly he wants Greenland and has not ruled out military action to take control of the semiautonomous, mineral-rich Arctic Island.
Denmark and Greenland have rebuffed Trump’s stated goals and said the island is not for sale. They also condemned reports of U.S. intelligence gathering operations there, according to NPR.
The report alleged that one of those involved in the covert campaign created a list of U.S.-friendly Greenlanders and the names of anti-Trumpers. They also gathered information from locals that could be used against Denmark by American media.
The report also found two other people with ties to Trump tried to develop contacts with politicians and businesses.
Social media users had a lot to say about the operation,
“Trump and the Republican Party are Russian assets and traitors to this country,” Terri Gorler stated on Threads.
Another Threads user blamed Republicans for going along with Trump’s scheming.
“Dear Republicans, Really? This is what the current administration is doing (and doing badly)? They are attempting to infiltrate Greenland’s society to convince people to ‘sell’ Greenland to the U.S., and you’re okay with that? How does this not violate international law and our Constitution? Sincerely, A Pissed Off American.”
“So not shocked,” Colleen Lane chimed in.
This Threads user didn’t hold back and used a phrase Trump repeatedly used on the campaign trail in 2016 against his opponent, Hillary Clinton, over emails she had stored insecurely.
“Lock them the f#ck up.”
‘Lock Them…Up’: Donald Trump Exposed In International Spy Plot Involving Three Americans
‘Looks Worn Out’: Melania Trump’s Stone-Cold Expression Caught on Camera, Donald Trump Taps Her to Snap Her Out of It
The art of staying awake during solemn ceremonies apparently is a struggle for not only President Donald Trump but also his wife, Melania.
A viral video from the Pentagon ceremony has fans in disbelief after catching the first lady slumped in her seat, hiding behind her trademark dark shades as she appeared to doze off right next to her husband.
A viral video of Trump nudging a seemingly sleepy Melania during a memorial event has social media users joking about the couple’s public drowsiness patterns. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)This week, Trump had to give a subtle nudge to his wife during their attendance at the Sept. 11 memorial service at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
With a fire truck visible in the background, the scene unfolded as the couple participated in one of the nation’s most sacred remembrance events. The footage reveals Trump giving Melania a light tap on the hand to rouse her during the tribute honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the 2001 incident. She then turned her head toward his direction and smirked.
The clip quickly went viral after being shared on Instagram, unleashing a wave of reactions that ranged from amused to critical.
“Why can’t she let the American people see her emotions?! The black sunglasses just look cold!!” one observer commented.
Another user took a broader view of the situation, writing, “She looks bored out of her mind and wishing she was having lunch and he can barely keep his eyes open great representation for our country.”
Another claimed, “He looks very sick and Melania looks worn out!”
“Did you see Melania? They both look like they didn’t sleep and had been crying. I looked awful this morning because I took the news terribly. I can’t imagine what he feels rn,” noted a fourth person.
The comment touched on what many perceived as a lack of engagement from both Trumps during the ceremony.
The viral Instagram clip shows Trump giving Melania a subtle hand pat to wake her during the solemn Pentagon ceremony. (Instagram/ @husamnassar.thesignature )The moment didn’t escape those with a sense of humor either, as one person joked, “He’s falling asleep but trying not to. She’s sleep but has the shades on so you can’t tell,” pointing out how the sunglasses may have provided convenient cover for any drowsiness.
As one social media user playfully wrote, “Melania wake up, you snored.”
This incident at the Pentagon wasn’t Melania’s first suspected public nap.
Just months earlier, during Trump’s 79th birthday celebration in Washington, D.C., observers noted what seemed to be similar behavior from the former first lady. The June event, which doubled as a commemoration of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, saw Melania appearing disinterested while again seated alongside her husband during the military parade.
Dressed in a cream pinstriped double-breasted blazer with a matching pencil skirt, the former model remained seated with what witnesses described as a tired expression, her eyes closed at multiple intervals while Trump stood to salute parade participants.
The birthday celebration footage even captured what appeared to be an eye roll from Melania after what seemed like a forced smile, adding fuel to ongoing speculation about the dynamics of the Trump marriage.
However, Melania isn’t alone in her apparent struggle with public event fatigue.
Trump himself has been caught in similar situations throughout his presidency. During a White House Mother’s Day event in May, cameras captured the president appearing to battle drowsiness as his wife delivered remarks honoring military mothers. The footage showed Trump blinking heavily and fighting to keep his eyes open, though alternative camera angles suggested he might have been reading along with her prepared speech.
Adding another layer to recent Trump-related social media discussions, the president’s 9/11 tribute in 2019, which sparked controversy when eagle-eyed users claimed Melania’s coat in the accompanying photo resembled a plane flying into a tower.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 11, 2019The image, showing the couple from behind on an overlook, featured Melania wearing a long black coat with white trim that some interpreted as depicting the Towers falling. Critics quickly pointed out the bizarre design of the dress and the poor judgment in including it in the tribute.
The response to the clip makes clear that the public is still locked in on the Trump family’s every move. It also points to the reality that official ceremonies can drag on, even for those seated front and center. Online, folks were quick to find humor in Melania’s moment, and many suggested that because Trump himself has built a reputation for mocking others, none of his public appearances will ever escape scrutiny or criticism.
‘Stop!’: Viral Video of White Student Pummeling Black Girl Sparks Outrage Over What’s Happening Off Camera
A shocking video that shows a young Black girl being brutally attacked on a school bus is going viral, and people are demanding answers about why no adults stepped in.
The clip, originally posted to a now-private Instagram account called Cavereverything1 and later reposted by Keimond M. Powe on Facebook, has already sparked outrage online.

At one point, he presses his hand against her forehead and pushes her down as she pleads with him to stop.
“For real, Ashley, stop!” she cries out — but no adult intervenes. The bus driver is nowhere in sight, and the total lack of response has the internet furious.
Since Powe shared the footage on Sept. 8, it has garnered over 9,000 reactions.
According to Powe, a reverse search of the original poster’s profile photo led back to Carver Middle School in Chester, Virginia. In the comments, one person said they contacted the school and were told the incident happened during summer school and that administrators were “handling it.”
Powe questioned why the bus driver didn’t stop the moving bus or intervene, and questioned why the adult recording didn’t step in either, pointing out that no one even yelled for the kids to stop.
“I’m so pissed as far as I’m concerned this is not about Black or White this here is a Wrong or Right situation & it’s wrong,” he wrote. “This is your bus take control of it.”
“This is a disturbing video, it’s disgusting to watch,” one viewer said.
“This little girl was too calm. She asked him if he was going to stop. We haven’t seen the outcome of this cause she looks like she could do him so physical damage. And I’m wondering if she did reason why we don’t see the whole thing. I know some repercussions happened after this,” another person wrote.
‘Your Racism Is Showing’: Megyn Kelly Under Fire for Calling Barack Obama a ‘Slick Snake’ and Blaming Him for Donald Trump’s Rise
Former journalist turned podcaster and MAGA talking head, Megyn Kelly, is saying out loud how racist Americans felt about having a Black president.
On the Sept. 13 episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly unloaded on former President Barack Obama, calling him a “slick snake” who looked polished on the surface but left the country divided.
Host Megyn Kelly at SiriusXM Studios on May 01, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Gary Gershoff/Getty Images)“We haven’t felt like ourselves since Barack Obama,” Kelly said.
She accused Obama of injecting race into politics, claiming that “he never missed an opportunity to twist the knife on the racial issue.”
View on Threads“He was this affable guy who was like, wearing good suits and looked the part and sounded the part and dressed the part, but was so divisive in his messaging,” she said.
Kelly went as far as to blame him for paving the way for President Donald Trump, saying that Trump was a direct response to Obama’s divisiveness.
“Barack Obama was the reason Donald Trump came about, that he was born as a political figure. They say Trump’s divisive. He was the antidote,” Kelly said.
Kelly’s comments come on the heels of the deadly shooting of right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk. Kirk was killed on Sept. 10 while answering questions at Utah Valley University during a speaking tour
Meanwhile, Kelly also accused the country’s first Black president of lying about health care and breaking long-standing presidential norms by weighing in on legal cases.
“He’s the one who started to use his pen and the phone to shove things down our throat that we didn’t want,” she said. “He’s the one who shoved through an entitlement on our health care and our personal doctor visits that he promised he wouldn’t mess with, and then he did, really hurting people, causing massive anger and open lies.”
A clip of Kelly’s remarks drew backlash and rebuke on Threads.
“This is WILD. Show me a video of Obama calling his political opponent, John McCain, a “disgrace”, or calling the press “the enemy of the people”, or calling republicans “the enemy within”. Say less, Megyn. I think your racism is showing,” one viewer wrote.
“Another despicable POS. Who listens to that twat?” another person chimed in. “Injected race into everything” means having the nerve to be Black,” one person quipped.
However, some agreed that there is truth to Kelly’s take.
“I was in a conservative Christian high school when he was elected. These people believed it was a sign of the end times and they still do. They would say that this would embolden minorities to perpetuate violence on white people and forcibly steal our houses. It was the first time they looked at a president and didn’t see themselves reflected back, and they lost their goddamn minds,” one viewer wrote.
‘Upgraded That’s Why’s She’s Mad’: Tiger Woods’ Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren’s Brutal Take on His Romance with Vanessa Trump Has Fans Saying She’s Still Not Over Him
Tiger Woods ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, reportedly is not too fond of his new romance with Vanessa Trump.
Woods and Nordegren’s marriage came to a dramatic end in 2010 after his infamous cheating scandal, a tabloid frenzy that’s still used as comedic fodder today.
The golf legend was accused of stepping out on his former wife with nearly a dozen women, including adult film stars. Yet, when it comes to Woods’ relationship with Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Nordegren’s perspective is one that resonates more widely than many might expect.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump seem to be unlikely couple for some observers. (Photo: @tigerwoods/Instagram)According to RadarOnline, Nordegren reportedly has “disdain” about Trump and her ex-husband’s romance, which she calls “weird.”
“She has her reservations about this relationship, and she can’t exactly hide her disdain over the whole thing,” the outlet reports its unnamed source said. “She thought it was a weird match from the start, and for him to be getting so serious and moving Vanessa into his home so soon is a red flag.”
Woods. 49, began dating Trump, 47, in November of 2024, but rumor has it they’re already planning a lavish wedding at the White House with her dad’s blessing. Together they have a combined number of seven children from prior relationships. But love, according to them, still wins.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,” Woods captioned an Instagram post that featured two pictures of the couple in March.
The pictures included the duo posing for one picture and another of them cuddling in a hammock.

— Daily Loud (@DailyLoud) March 24, 2025However, Woods’ ex thinks that he needs to pump the brakes regarding his new romance, the tabloid’s purported source claims.
“She thinks he needs to slow down,” the anonymous tipster added. “For all their troubles, she still cares for Tiger and would hate to see him hurt. She doesn’t want to tell him what to do, but she is encouraging him to take it slow and get to know Vanessa before making such a serious commitment. It doesn’t look like he’s listening, however, and that’s got to be distressing for Elin.”
After social media users caught wind of Nordegren’s alleged comments on Instagram, they weighed in.
“Moving onto his next victim,” wrote one user. Another user — seemingly a MAGA supporter with apparently bad eyesight — replied, “Nobody cares what she thinks. She’s irrelevant, and he definitely upgraded. That’s why’s she’s mad. Thought he was going to stay miserable.”
Some people agreed with Woods’ ex-wife and replied, “Weird match? Who is she to talk? She was paid 100 million for her divorce, woman, quiet and go away,” while others said she “Sounds like a bitter ex.”

— Page Six (@PageSix) December 23, 2024A more concerned person said, “I’m sure she doesn’t want her kids anywhere near the Trump’s circus.”
Woods and his ex-wife, who worked as a nanny and a model, met in 2001 and got married three years later. They share two children, 18-year-old daughter Sam and 16-year-old son Charlie. The family of four recently had a reunion in December 2024 on the golf course during a PNC match in Orlando, where Woods played alongside their son.
Vanessa Trump and her ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr., finalized their divorce in 2019 after 13 years of marriage and five children, per People. Donald Trump Jr. is currently dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
‘Just Stop Girl’: Selena Gomez’s Flirty Underwear Pic Has Fans Saying She’s Desperate for the Wrong Attention Before Tying the Knot
Actress and singer Selena Gomez shook up Instagram with her latest post, plugging the new season of her Hulu show while slipping in photos that gave fans an intimate look at her private world.
The “People You Know” singer’s Sept. 10 upload featured snapshots from her trip after leaving New York, including dinner moments, hotel downtime, and shots at home that left many questioning what she was really trying to share.
Selena Gomez catches heat for posting a selfie in her undergarments. (Photo: @selenagomez/Instagram)“Hello and goodbye, NY grateful for a great trip with my guys,” Gomez wrote while dropping a promo plug about her new show, alongside actors Martin Short and Steve Martin.
The former Disney child star also shared several selfies, including one of her wearing a long, black evening gown paired with a black scarf, and Gomez looks fantastic in the pictures.
‘Why Selena Why’: Selena Gomez’s New Look Has Fans Convinced She Made Changes to Her Appearance
Several photographs in, Gomez displays a selfie of herself wearing a mini T-shirt along with some tighty-whities, and her slim, bare belly is showing.

Fans reacted to the photo montage on Instagram.
“You came and SERVED!! Obsessed with every look,” wrote one fan. “(ps, mabel mora is an ICON).” But Daily Mail readers were not as nice calling her desperate for attention,
Two said, “Someone needs attention” and “Just stop girl.”
Another advised, “Someone please tell this woman to focus on something else besides her body.”

The 33-year-old “Emilia Pérez” star spoke out about the body-shaming she’s been targeted with on social media, and she said it led to years of being insecure.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of weight issues in my life,” she said. “And that’s something I’m very sensitive to. I got stung by a person saying I was fat. Why is that emotion coming up?”
Gomez noted that she underwent DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) treatment to deal with her struggles and said it helped to peel “away layers.”
“Oh, now I understand, that’s stemming from that one time when I was going through some medical stuff and I had gained weight,” she said. “You just definitely have to be willing to do the work, and that part can be tricky.”
The actress was diagnosed with lupus back in 2013. But that hasn’t stopped her from embracing her body or hiding it. Last month, the “Sunset Blvd” singer posted more selfies on Instagram showing herself in lingerie.
Instagram is also where she shares several snapshots of her Bachelorette weekend ahead of her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco. While in New York, Gomez gave details about their wedding on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

When asked about her upcoming nuptials, she did not provide an exact date for the event, but she did give fans a clue into her feelings about it.
“It’s wonderful. I’m very lucky,” Gomez gushed. “It’s going well. I’m so excited.”
The couple will soon tie the knot later this month at an undisclosed location.
‘WTF Does That Mean’: Donald Trump Sparks Fury on Fox After Patting ‘Good’ Black Reporter ‘Like a Dog’; the Moment Took a Turn When Viewers Zoomed In
President Donald Trump, 79, raised some eyebrows among his critics for what appeared to be a simple hand gesture on live television.
Trump stopped by the “Fox & Friends” morning program on Sept. 12 to provide an update on the death of conservative activist and podcaster Charlie Kirk.
A gunman shot the 31-year-old on Sept. 10, while he was on stage at Utah Valley University for a Turning Point USA event. The father of two later passed away at a local hospital.
Moments into his appearance about the investigation, Trump turned to “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones, seated next to him on the couch, and lightly patted the libertarian on the knee.
President Donald Trump is catching heat for patting the knee of a Black cable news host. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)“Lawrence is doing a good job,” Trump proclaimed when Jones asked the Republican politician about his earlier claims that the alleged Utah Valley shooter was part of the “radical left,” a supposed detail about the suspect that had not been confirmed by investigators.
The MAGA leader also told Jones, “I’ll tell you what. I’m very proud of you. I said you were going to do well.” He then proceeded to slap the 32-year-old Garland, Texas native’s leg twice.
A clip of Trump’s interaction with Jones was shared on The Neighborhood Talk’s Instagram page. The outlet captioned the post, “It definitely gave ‘good boy’ vibes,” implying the president’s knee taps had bigoted undertones.
Many Instagram users co-signed that caption with their own comments, with one person suggesting Trump was actually demeaning the Black reporter.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)
“Did he pet this man like a dog?” a second commenter expressed about the exchange between Trump and Jones. While another confirmed, “Man he patted him like a pet.”
Similarly, someone on the app said, “They said you were going to do well WTF that mean? Wipe that smile off his face so fast ‘unhand me’!”
Others zoomed in on the reporter’s facial expression to note, “That smile wiped clean off his face.” “He might as well had rubbed his head,” said another observer.
But this isn’t Trump’s first time taking a liking to a reporter in front of a live audience. Back in June, White House Correspondent Hariana Veras accepted an invitation to the Oval Office, where Trump couldn’t take his eye off the African reporter, noting repeatedly how “beautiful” she was.
“I’m not allowed to say that. You know that could be the end of my political career,” the president joked amongst a room full of people. “But you are beautiful and you’re beautiful inside. I wish I had more reporters like you,” he continued.
The flirty moment had everyone in tears from laughing, with many claiming Trump had a crush on the Black reporter.
On Jan. 20, 2025, Trump returned to the White House for a second, nonconsecutive term as the President of the United States. Americans elected him in the 2024 election over then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
‘You Idiot’: White Employee Accused Black Shopper of Stealing Even After Seeing Proof, Video Shows
A Black woman from the United Kingdom recorded an encounter with a Bershka store worker, alleging she was racially profiled at the shop after paying for some clothing items.
The video, posted on TikTok by @nelzgarden, was overlaid with text saying, “I’ve never experienced racial profile like this before. This is after she’s searched our bags and seen receipts that’s we’ve PAID!!”
A woman working at Bershka store was filmed harassing a Black shopper.(Photo:TikTok/@nelzgarden)The footage shows the TikToker’s altercation with a staff member at a Bershka retailer. In the video, @nelzgarden accuses the employee of following her and her friend out of the clothing store and shouting at them.
The two are engaged in a back-and-forth about the store worker’s conduct until the employee tells the customers that they’re “free to go.”
“You’re free to go,” the store worker says repeatedly.
“Well, now I’m free to go. I’ll do what I want, you idiot,” the shopper’s friend says.
“The way she’s changed her demeanor – It’s rage bait, and then she wants to do this when I get the camera out,” the female shopper says. “It’s madness, isn’t it?
“And now you’ve just called her on it and she’s running away,” her friend responds.
The store worker is seen walking away from the altercation, and the shoppers are seen finally leaving the store.
@nelzgardenDo better #bershka #bershkastyle #fyp #viralditiktok #racialprofiling
♬ original sound – nelzgardenThe video was posted to TikTok last month and garnered nearly 500,000 views and hundreds of comments, most of which chastised the store worker for her behavior.
“Urgh…shop assistant raising her voice, ensuring all other shoppers get a good earful of her dressing down this lady and actually making the shopper look like a thief infront of others…once she’d inspected the receipts she should have apologised for any inconvenience this may have caused and returned to whatever she was doing,” one person wrote on TikTok.
“Listen I’ve worked in retail before as a manager and honestly I don’t why staff react like this, we don’t get paid enough to be arguing with customers!” another person added.
Several other viral instances have emerged in which retail shoppers have accused staff members of racially profiling them.
Last September, a young Black woman went viral after tearfully recounting her shopping experience at a TJ Maxx in Wisconsin, where she was followed around the store by several staff members while purse shopping with her boyfriend.
That same month, a Black man posted a video of his encounter with a loss prevention employee at a Ross store after the worker accused him of stealing shoes and threatened to call the police, then walked back the accusations.

‘Can You Believe This Man?’: Trump’s Cringey Brag About Size on 9/11 Just Resurfaced—And the Awful Timing Before the Memorial Has People Stunned
An old news interview with President Donald Trump is resurfacing — and critics say it shows just how tone-deaf he was in the hours after 9/11. Instead of offering empathy, Trump seemed more interested in making a size comparison that no one cared about except for him at the time.
The comments came 24 years ago on the day of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history, when thousands were killed and the country was thrust into two decades of war in the Middle East. In a local TV interview, Trump boasted that 40 Wall Street had become the tallest building in downtown Manhattan — remarks many are now calling callous and self-serving.
President Donald Trump is caught in another humiliating scandal as decades old audio resurfaces. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)On Friday, as Americans remembered the lives lost in the horrendous attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington Virginia and the plane that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, instead of an intended target in the Capital, the resurfaced Trump audio is still stunning all these years later.
Trump, then a real estate developer, in an interview with local TV station WWOR just a few hours after the attack as the ruins of the Twin Towers were still smoking and smoldering nearby, seemed to brag about the size of his building when he was asked about a skyscraper he owned nearby.
“Donald, you have one of the landmark buildings down in the Financial District, 40 Wall Street,” Alan Marcus, a WWOR analyst, said. “Did you have any damage, or did you — what’s happened down there?”
“You know 40 Wall Street was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest,” he boasted. “And then when they built the world Trade Center it became known as the second tallest and now it’s the tallest,” he proclaimed.
“And I just spoke to my people, and they said it’s the most unbelievable sight; it’s probably seven or eight blocks away from the World Trade Center, and yet Wall Street is littered with two feet of stone and brick and mortar and steel,” he continued.
That interview came up again as Trump was running for President in 2015 and the fact-checking website Snopes put it this way: “Critics maintain that Trump’s referencing the relative height of 40 Wall Street in the immediate aftermath of the World Trade Center towers’ fall was completely gratuitous and irrelevant to the discussion, the hallmark of an egoist with no compunctions about using tragedy as an opportunity for self-promotion.”
View on Threads“The morning of 9/11 showed Donald Trump in a nutshell. Even as a New Yorker, he couldn’t help but brag about how 40 Wall Street now was the ‘tallest’ building on the Manhattan skyline,” this Instagram poster observed.
Another social media user expressed shock, “Jesus Christ!! This is who is running our country!”
Over on Threads, users were just as shocked, even searching for an explanation, “Can you believe this man? No comment on the attack just bragging about his building. I am thinking he is missing the frontal lobe of his brain where we experience empathy.
“No heart & soul either. VOID of GOODNESS,” Threads user Sandi Melia stated.
And another said this: “How many reasons to need to understand this is one of the sickest creatures on the planet.”
But another Instagram user pointed how Trump looked sick at the Pentagon memorial Friday.
‘Some good news today. Dude looks like he had a stroke.”
As the 79-year-old Trump waited to make a speech at the service his face appeared droopy and he looked like he might fall asleep while sitting next to first lady Melania Trump.

At what point, are we going to clue in to the President's stroke?
He is in ailing health, and while duly paying respects to those who lost their lives on 9/11 is barely able to control the right side of his face. https://t.co/gncJQWFY1e pic.twitter.com/9ePYwJAZF6
“Trump out here looking like a fully depreciated man at the 9/11 ceremony today,” X user Covie posted.

‘She Looks Uncomfortable’: ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Fans Cover Their Eyes as Dakota Johnson Pushes Limit In See-Through Look
Hollywood star Dakota Johnson just brought ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ vibes to a red carpet.
The actress stepped out on Sept. 11 in a racy, see-through dress for the Kering Foundation Caring For Women Dinner in New York City. Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband François-Henri Pinault hosted the annual event intended to raise funds by calling film and fashion leaders to donate to organizations that are fighting against violence and supporting survivors.
But when photos from that night hit the internet, Johnson’s daring outfit had fans clutching their pearls and doing double takes.
(Photos: @dakotajohnson;jimmykimmellive/Instagram)Johnson’s Gucci dress could have given the world a peep show had it not been for her undergarments. The black turtleneck gown was created out of sheer fabric with black floral embellishments.
Underneath, a lot of her fair skin popped through the fabric making it easy to spot what Johnson had on underneath — which was nothing more than her undergarments.
To complement the look, Johnson paired it with black Gucci heels and an updo hairstyle.
Fans mocked her in the Daily Mail’s comments, while some cringed over the look.

One person wrote, “Psssst… If you look closely, you can see her undies.”
Another wondered, “TDress designer forgot the lining?” while another declared, “It’s an awful dress and she looks uncomfortable in it. Nothing empowering.”
A fourth person, who seemingly noticed what the other guests were wearing in comparison to her peers said, “Why??? She’s so stunning and doesn’t need to dress like this at all!! This look needs to stop!!

— Page Six (@PageSix) September 12, 2025“We have Kanye West to thank for (not)dressing the puppet that the LA sheep trying now to do the same. What a shame,” wrote a fourth.
Kanye West, now known as Ye, is currently married to Bianca Censori. Together the two make headlines either for the rapper’s raging outbursts or her stunts of wearing little to no clothes in public, often while baring her intimate body parts.
But while Johnson’s dress seemed shocking to some, she’s worn even less clothes in her 2015 erotic film “Fifty Shades of Grey.” It tells the story about a businessman (played by Jamie Dornan) who starts a relationship with a college student and introduces her to his erotic interests.
She sat with Vogue and discussed what it was like filming intimate scenes two years after the film came out.
“Jamie [Dornan] and I worked so incredibly closely for so long,” she told the magazine. “There were no inhibitions, and it was very honest, very trusting. But I mean, what a gamble! There are no clothes to tell you a bit about the story. There’s no jewelry to give you a clue about social status. So it becomes purely about the performance.”
‘What is Wrong With Her Left Eye?’: Karoline Leavitt’s Dressing Room Selfie Has Fans Zooming In on Her Swollen Face
A photo of President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt has the public asking questions about what’s changed since her introduction to the White House.
It’s no shock these days that people will get nipped, tucked and stuffed to get the body and face they want. But the internet believes Leavitt has done that and more to enhance her look since entering her role under Trump’s administration.
New rumors about Karoline Leavitt’s appearance emerge after her dressing room selfie goes viral.. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)An X user resurfaced an old selfie of Leavitt grinning at the camera. The caption she wrote, Coming up on Wake Up America @NEWSMAX… tune in!” suggests she was likely waiting in a dressing room before going on air.
At first glance, nothing seems off. However, some fans did a deeper search and noticed some differences in her facial features. Leavitt was seen wearing a red suit, flaunting her blond armpit-length hair, brown eyebrows, and subtle makeup. But still, people thought she didn’t look like her current self.
The user who shared the photo wrote, “Can a plastic surgeon explain to me what has happened to Karoline Leavitt’s face?”
Although the social media user asked for a medical specialist’s opinion, many responders—who were not identifying as plastic surgeons—chimed in anyway. Their replies suggested they hadn’t realized the photo was originally posted on her own page in May 2023, with many commenting on her fuller lips, cheeks, and seemingly swollen face.
One person said, “This is the Mara Largo profile. She got the eyebrows weaved so they are bigger, she got the botox for the lips and the V-line procedure is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to create a more defined and slender jawline, resulting in a V-shaped profile.”

A third person who was shocked by the picture overall typed, “WHATTT?? I didn’t even know who she was !!! She should have kept that for when she left office so no one could recognize her!”
A fourth defender said, “She’s only 28. Looks like some drastic eyebrow makeup and contouring (I think that’s what it’s called lol)”
It’s not clear what she’s had done, if anything, as she has not come forward with any information about doing cosmetic procedures. However, her lips looked more fuller in the photo than usual and her eyebrows looked thicker and a darker brown shade.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by KAROLINE LEAVITT (@karolineleavitt)
Earlier this year, when Leavitt’s college photos went viral, fans were taken aback by how different she looked then compared to recent photos just before her 28th birthday. Her eyebrows appeared thinner and softer than usual and her lips were much thinner as well.
So even though she is mum about her changing appearance, the internet has been pressing to solve the mystery.
In fact, earlier this week on Tuesday, RadarOnline shared what a medical expert, who has not worked on Leavitt, had to say about her face.
Karoline Leavitt HATES side by side photos.
DO NOT REPOST! It might ruin her 4th of July @PressSec pic.twitter.com/Ec6lMXHbd8
Dr. Raffi Hovsepian, a cosmetic surgeon, told the outlet, “Karoline Leavitt’s transformation looks like a classic college-to-camera evolution. Subtle filler, micro-Botox, and disciplined skin care enhance her features while keeping the look youthful and natural.”
After losing the 2022 election for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District to Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas, Leavitt joined MAGA Inc., and took part in training for Project 2025. She then worked as national press secretary for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign before being appointed White House Press Secretary, a role she continues to hold today.
‘Nappy-Headed [N-word]’: Black Cracker Barrel Waitress Alleges 10 Years of Racist Abuse Before Being Fired for Reporting It, Lawsuit Claims
A Black waitress at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Tennessee said she faced heinous racial harassment during her 10 years on the job from white coworkers and supervisors who were never held accountable for their actions.
Roberta Mendez, who started working as a server at a Nashville-area Cracker Barrel in 2015, filed a federal lawsuit on Aug. 21, which detailed several instances in which her fellow wait staff would berate her with racist, derogatory statements.
According to the complaint cited by The Independent, Mendez claimed her white colleagues would call her “nappy headed [N-word,]” “burnt biscuit,” and “monkey.”

Cracker Barrel Old Country announced that it is open on Thanksgiving and is offering a Thanksgiving Heat n’ Serve Turkey Family Dinner, which serves four to six people for $104.99. (Photo by Paul Weaver/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)The complaint also recalls one of Mendez’s conversations with a shift leader last year, in which the supervisor plainly told her, “I don’t like Black people.”
Mendez alleged that she was “physically pushed and hit” by her co-workers, and claimed that management “segregated its Black workers from its Caucasian workers.”
Even after reporting these incidents to higher-ups, the complaint states that Mendez ended up suffering consequences instead of the staff members who were guilty of the racist misconduct.
In 2023, when Mendez filed a complaint against one coworker, her suit states that she was written up and reprimanded instead of the person she accused.
“When Mendez escalated her concerns to Human Resources, she was only told not to sign the write-up,” the complaint states, adding, “No remedial action was taken.”
Things came to a head in August 2024 when Mendez finally went up the chain of command and took a list of complaints to Cracker Barrel corporate. She told company officials about the treatment she and other Black employees suffered at her workplace.
The following month, Mendez was fired for “breaking company policy,” according to the complaint. None of her white colleagues were ever reprimanded or penalized for the behavior she listed in her complaints.
Cracker Barrel has faced its share of accusations of discrimination, which has cost it millions in legal settlements and damage to its brand and reputation.
In 2004, the company had to shell out $9 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by more than 40 plaintiffs in 16 states, who claimed Cracker Barrel had discriminated against Black customers and employees. The plaintiffs alleged that customers were denied service, seated away from white patrons, and served food that was destined for the trash.
In 1991, Cracker Barrel instituted a highly controversial policy that it would fire and no longer hire LGBTQ+ individuals. A company memo stated that the chain would refuse to employ individuals “whose sexual preference fails to demonstrate normal heterosexual values, which have been the foundation of families in our society.”
The chain quickly withdrew that policy after it became the target of swift and intense backlash from gay rights activists.
In a statement on the policy reversal, the company said, “Our recent position on the employment of homosexuals in a limited number of stores may have been a well-intentioned overreaction to the perceived values of our customers and their comfort levels with these individuals.”
In the last month, Cracker Barrel was lambasted by conservatives and right-wingers for changing its logo design and rebranding its stores. They quickly abandoned the rebrand once the backlash ensued and began drawing complaints from President Donald Trump.
‘He Obviously Doesn’t Think Beforehand’: Donald Trump’s Attempt to Inspire Falls Apart After Folks Say the Bible Verse He Quoted Doesn’t Exist
Donald Trump has long made headlines for bold and often baffling claims, from taking credit for phrases he didn’t coin to making statements that leave people questioning reality.
Now a resurfaced clip of him discussing the Bible is circulating, prompting many to revisit moments when he claimed to have read works he couldn’t recall—or that didn’t even exist, leaving some to wonder if he’s been reading from a whole different book.
President Donald Trump’s apparent lack of knowledge about the Bible has critics questioning his supposed love for the scriptures. (Photo by MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images)Trump sat down with the Christian Broadcasting Network during his first campaign for the White House to discuss his knowledge of the religious text in a video on YouTube.
The September 2015 conversation with CBN’s David Brody made headlines at the time, due to Trump seemingly misquoting the book of Proverbs.
Brody asked the then-aspiring political leader why the Bible was such an important book to him, which sparked a confusing response from Trump.
“There’s so many things that you can learn from [The Bible],” Trump responded. “Proverbs, the chapter ‘never bend to envy.’ I’ve had that thing all of my life where people are bending to envy.”
He added, “It’s an incredible book. So many things you can learn from the Bible, and you can lead your life. And I’m not just talking in terms of religion. I’m talking in terms of leading a life even beyond a religion.”
The issue with the answer Trump gave was that the verse he cited from the Bible supposedly does not exist. CNN reported the phrase “never bend to envy” could not be found in the holy scripture.
Progressive political commentator David Pakman covered Trump’s apparent gaffe on his YouTube channel in 2015. Pakman’s community members presented their takes on the University of Pennsylvania graduate’s remarks about envy.
“I think when Trump opens his mouth, he’s as surprised as anyone else [about] what comes out, because he obviously doesn’t actually think beforehand!” one individual exclaimed in the comment section nine years ago.
Louis applauded Trump for saying whatever is on his mind????????? I guess I am wrong for trying to teach my 3 year old (who says whatever is on his mind) to be more gracious and tactful.
A more recent comment read, “Maybe it’s only in the TRUMP Bible,” referring to the Trump-backed “God Bless the U.S.A. Bible,” which sells for $59.99.
Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible. @TheLeeGreenwood https://t.co/1KK5QgVK85 pic.twitter.com/XoCIeGDpAg
— Fan Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) March 26, 2024That so-called “Trump Bible” includes an edition of the King James Version of the Bible, as well as the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
“You don’t know what version he was reading. There are so many paraphrases out there, it’s very possible that’s what he was reading. Btw, Proverbs 24:1 does mean the same thing. Whether it’s “do not bend to envy” or “Be not envious” – is still saying “don’t envy”. You’re splitting hairs,” a third person posted on Pakman’s YouTube video.
Another Trump critic on the platform suggested the billionaire businessman failed at repeating a talking point given to him by someone on his team, writing, “Somebody fed him a verse, and he still got it wrong.”
Trump often touted his love of the Bible as part of his 2016 presidential campaign to entice right-wing Christians to support him in the stacked Republican primaries.
In August 2015, the former “The Apprentice” reality television show star was questioned about his faith while appearing on Bloomberg’s “With All Due Respect” podcast.
“I wouldn’t want to get into it, because to me, that’s very personal,” Trump explained when questioned about his favorite Bible verse. “The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.”
After he was repeatedly prompted to share his most beloved section of the good book, Trump just shot back, “No. I don’t want to do that.” The New York City native then insisted he enjoys the Old Testament and the New Testament equally.
Trump also infamously flubbed the name of a book in the New Testament in 2016. He mispronounced “Second Corinthians” as “Two Corinthians” while giving a speech at the evangelical Christian Liberty University.
Trump discussing his love of the Christian Bible is now circulating online after the former president recently donated his family Bible to the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., where it is now on public display.
‘So Freakin Funny!’: Late-Night Comedian Just Dropped the ‘Perfect’ Trick to Get Trump to Confess About His Dirty Doodle—And People Say It’s Brilliant
A resurfaced birthday letter tied to Donald Trump has reignited a storm of headlines, with critics and comedians seizing on the bizarre doodle and the President’s furious denials.
The note—originally written two decades ago and only recently handed over to Congress—features Trump’s signature inside the outline of a woman’s body. The letter, once part of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “birthday book,” has Trump fuming and now late-night hosts are piling on, with one comedian’s clever routine hitting especially hard.

(Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)\On Tuesday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” the talented comedian had a field day with the Epstein letter, calling it a “dirty doodle” and suggesting he knows a way to make Trump fess up.
“This book? It’s 22 years old. Who would have been faking Trump’s signature in a private birthday book in January of 2003?” a hilarious Jimmy Kimmel wondered. “The “Apprentice” wasn’t even on the air yet. This would require an extraordinary amount of planning.”
Trump’s communications team has had their hands full, repeatedly denying the President wrote the letter or signed it and making threats that Trump has his legal team on it.
“Karoline Leavitt, his press secretary, the woman who keeps insisting Trump didn’t draw this or sign this in 2003, she was 5 years old. She was too young, even for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003,” Kimmel joked as the audience laughed uproariously.
“I love that these people are so certain he didn’t do this. Well, he’s never lied before. Listen, even his lies have other lies on top of them. When the Wall Street Journal broke this story the first time, Trump said ‘I don’t even do drawings’ and then immediately 25 drawings he did came out, like 10 seconds later, which he had to know would happen,” Kimmel continued.
“He can’t help it. He can’t just stop it, ‘I didn’t draw it.’ He goes straight to ‘I’ve never drawn. I don’t even have a pen. Oh, what’s that sharpie in your hand Mr. President. Oh, that’s not a sharpie, that’s mascara. I was about to do JD Vance’s eyeliner until you interrupted,’” Kimmel mused with glee.
While plenty of people have wondered who really cares if he sent a letter to Epstein when they were friends, even as lewd as the note is, Trump’s insistence of separating himself seems to only make matters worse.
“His first instinct is to lie and then his second instinct is to wrap that lie in another lie like a Crunchwrap Supreme,” Kimmel added.
But the real clincher in his routine actually rings true and might have even worked if someone tried this tactic with Trump from the beginning.
Kimmel zoomed right in on how Trump could have confessed and perhaps quell some of the growing conspiracies over the files.
“I know how to get him to admit he did this. All you have to do is say, ‘That drawing is great.’ He will immediately take credit for it.”
Viewers were right there with Kimmel, in an uproar with laughter. One user on MSN even offered Kimmel some tips,
“Jimmy almost had it perfect. Trump’s narcissistic ego demands he take credit for others’ achievements. Someone need only say “Trump didn’t draw that birthday sketch. It is too perfectly and beautifully done, very imaginative and brilliantly funny!” Trump would be claiming ownership in a heartbeat.”
Another added, “It’s obvious, stroke EGO first. Then, you need to make sure his cut is fair.” One viewer on YouTube descibed the monologue as “So freakin funny!!!!”
“All I know is the guy who wrote, drew and forged Trumps name to this has tom be a sheer genius knowing the card would show up about 30n years or so later when Trump was to be President!,” said another viewer.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the existence of the letter earlier this summer, revealing friends of the disgraced financier sent him racy letters for his 50th birthday, including a bawdy one from Trump with a drawing of a naked woman on it.
The letters were put together in a leather-bound book by Epstein’s then-girlfriend convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, according to the Journal.
A furious Trump is still fuming over the WSJ report, calling the letter at the time of the WSJ report “a fake thing,” and filing a $10 billion lawsuit against the Journal, including publisher and former Trump confidante Rupert Murdoch.
The President has repeatedly denied he wrote or signed the letter and his cronies in the administration and Congress have come to his defense
Then on Monday members of the House Oversight Committee released the book, confirming lawyers for Epstein’s estate gave lawmakers a copy of the so-called “birthday book” containing Trump’s note to his former friend showing a sly note inside the outline of a naked woman with his signature representing her genitals and setting off a fresh round of White House denials.
Kimmel concluded the routine by pointing out Trump and Epstein weren’t just “close friends,” they were “gross friends.”
“This book Trump says he wasn’t part of contains some of the most disturbing drawings maybe ever. … It’s crazy. It’s all nuts. If you’ve ever wondered how far Republicans will go to distract you from the fact that Trump won’t release the Epstein files, they actually scheduled UFO hearings. For real. The House Oversight Committee held hearings today on UFOs even though there’s never been a worst tie for an alien to visit this planet.
