‘I Feel So Dirty’: MTG Visibly Shaken After Trump Officials Slam Her Attack as a ‘Hostile Act’ as MAGA Insider Hits Her with Insanely Nasty Nickname
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is no stranger to controversy, but this time even Donald Trump’s own officials are turning on her. After breaking with the president, Greene was blasted inside his orbit for committing what they called a “hostile act.”
The Georgia congresswoman lashed out in frustration, insisting she’s one of Trump’s most loyal defenders. But instead of quieting the storm, she only fueled it — opening the door for MAGA insiders to brand her a “traitor.”
Greene became persona non grata when she joined a bipartisan push to sign a discharge petition that would force a House vote on releasing the Epstein files.

“Oh, I got a lot of pushback. I got phone call after phone call last night,” Greene said Wednesday on Real America’s Voice’s “Bolling!” according to The Hill.
The attacks left Greene visibly upset and sent her on a nearly minute long venting session to air out her frustration.
“Somebody who’s a real coward from one of the Trump admin officials came out and called this a hostile act against the Trump administration,” she began.
View on Threads“I take very big offense to that because I put my life and my fortune on the line fighting to get that man elected and whoever said that has their job because of people like me that fought all the horrible Republicans that stabbed him in the back after Jan. 6.” Greene said. “And I was one of those that fought on the frontlines and said no, he’s the leader of our party, he’s the president and we’re gonna make him president again. And that coward attacks me and called it a ‘hostile act.’”
Greene’s unexpected alignment left many shocked that they found themselves agreeing with her actions.
“I agree with MTG. I feel so dirty,” joked Debra DeAngelo on Threads.
Another added, “MTG is on the right side of an issue for a change. I’m shocked to find myself agreeing with her. I feel dizzy.”
The clash only depeened when Greene appeared at a Capitol Hill press conference alongside survivors of the disgraced financier, as well as lawmakers from both parties. Prompting backlash and nasty reactions from Laura Loomer.
Speaking at the event, Greene said, “Today [Trump] called it a hoax while these women were speaking out. … It’s not a hoax because Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile. … One of the Trump admin officials came out and called this a hostile act against the Trump administration. … The hostile act was Jeffrey Epstein raping 14-year-old girls.”
Loomer, a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist who has made a name for herself as an enforcer of MAGA orthodoxy, let the cannons loose.
“MTG is a FRAUD, and a phony, two faced b—- who used Trump to advance her career,” Loomer wrote in one post on X. In another, she declared: “I’ve been telling everyone for years that @RepMTG is a Trump hater. Today, I was VINDICATED. I’ve had to deal with this nasty b— lying about me and pretending to be pro-Trump for years while I have been warning everyone MTG is & always has been a Trump hater. I told you!”
Loomer accused Greene of teaming up with Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, a frequent Trump critic, in what she called a “calculated effort to smear President Trump and falsely suggest he’s protecting Jeffrey Epstein.”
She urged Greene and Massie to be “shunned by MAGA forever” and insisted Greene “just killed her career.”
Good lord. People can disagree with Trump. I voted for him and I don’t like everything he’s done. The handling of this Epstein crap is one of them. Tone it down a bit. You’re just causing more division and it’s not doing anything for our nation.
— Geoff Matero (@geoffmatero) September 4, 2025But Loomer didn’t get the sort of backing she may have expected. While some laughed at her clever nicknames, many of the over 5,000 comments in response to her X post were overwhelmingly critical.
“All that plastic surgery and Botox must have f—d your brain up….”
“As someone who voted for Trump…it’s 100% okay to criticize him when he does dumb a** shit like fumble the f—ing Epstein matter……”
“I don’t think you are intelligent enough to understand this shit you are doing is exactly the same bullshi- the retards would do with Biden…it’s f—ing cult behavior…..”
Inside the Oval Office, however, Trump brushed off demands to release the Epstein files, casting them as a partisan attack.
“I think we should talk about the greatness of our country and the success that we’re having. That’s what we should be talking about, not the Epstein hoax,” he told reporters during a media availability with Polish President Karol Nawrocki. He called the issue “a Democrat hoax that never ends,” comparing it to lingering demands for unreleased Kennedy assassination records.
Back at the press conference, Haley Robson called Trump out by name.
“Mr. President Donald J. Trump, I am a registered Republican — not that that matters, because this is not political. However, I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax.”
Robson, who was 16 when she was recruited into Epstein’s network, also scolded politicians for politicizing their trauma. “Shame on you for using our trauma to weaponize this moment,” she said.
View on ThreadsFor Loomer, however, Greene’s stance added to a growing feud. In recent months, she has branded Greene a “low-life degenerate,” “home wrecker,” “whore,” “dumb b—-,” and “trailer trash harpy.” Their battles have flared over issues from U.S. policy on Gaza to Loomer’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, which Greene once condemned as “appalling and extremely racist.”
Wednesday’s exchange underscored the growing rift within Trump’s orbit as Epstein’s shadow continues to hang over Washington and pressure builds for disclosure of the files.
‘MAGA Must Just Hate This Guy’: Gavin Newsom’s Savage New Drink Sends MAGA Into a Meltdown as Fans Are in ‘Tears’
California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to troll President Donald Trump on social media, and his latest meme pokes fun at Trump as well as his MAGA followers.
On Sept. 4, the governor’s press office shared the meme on X, featuring an AI image of Newsom in a blue patterned blazer, drinking white liquid from a cocktail glass with the ocean as his backdrop.

(Photo by Michael Buckner/Variety via Getty Images)In front of Newsom is a liquor bottle with the label, “MAGA Tears,” and social media users weighed in on his latest presidential troll.
The hilarious post was captioned with all-caps in the same manner the president uses when he rants on social media, reading “CHEERS! PATRIOTS!!!”
Several users on X loved the meme and reacted underneath the post.
“LOL. Superb.”
“MAGA must just hate this guy,” replied one. “Epic social media games.”
“This right here should be on a t-shirt,” wrote one user. Another X user replied, “Are MAGA TEARS best hot or cold?”
CHEERS! PATRIOTS!!! pic.twitter.com/GlvY7LWRSl
— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) September 4, 2025Trump supporters were not as amused by the MAGA tears meme. “Now you’re just embarrassing yourself,” claimed one MAGA fan.
Newsom first began trolling Trump by writing sarcastic and hilarious comments on social media in the signature all-caps style of the president, and liberals were here for it. He shared another post on Sept. 4 that mocked Trump’s failed school, Trump University.
HUGE NEWS FOR “MY GUYS AND GALS”!!! NEWSOM UNIVERSITY IS OPENING VERY SOON. ENROLLMENT IS ALREADY THROUGH THE ROOF. EVERYBODY WANTS IN (EVEN THE LOSERS) BUT ONLY THE SMARTEST, MOST TALENTED STUDENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED (NO LOW IQ DING-DONGS LIKE JD “JUST DANCE” VANCE OR LAURA “LOW… pic.twitter.com/Zunmq00sPq
— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) September 4, 2025X users appreciated the latest troll, with one user replying, “They get more unhinged every day. I love that for us.”
Has Trump met his match with Gavin? Some believe so as the two politcal heavyweights have been going back and forth for months online even before Trump became president in Jan. 2025. The merciless mocking is great for those who enjoy entertainment, as it helps boost Newsom’s popularity online and puts money in his pockets.
“If nothing else, we’ve called out the absurdity of the normalization of Donald Trump,” Newsom said during a call with the Daily Beast.
“We’re pushing back, and people are paying a bit more attention… Maybe they should be paying a bit more attention to what the President of the United States is modeling every single day. Nothing about this is normal, and it needs to be called out,” he continued.
Black Chicago Cop Says Colleague Sent Him Racist Image of Black Man with Gun In Mouth After He Dared to Defend Pregnant Woman Against Abuse
In the eyes of his fellow cops, Chicago police officer Anthony Banks did the unthinkable by intervening on behalf of a pregnant woman who was being assaulted and harassed by another cop.
That same cop and other cops then retaliated against the Black police officer back at the station, surrounding him and preventing him from walking away while calling him racial slurs, telling him to go back to where he came from, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court against those cops and obtained by Atlanta Black Star.
When Banks reported the incident to a commanding officer, the Lieutenant dismissed his concerns, telling Banks that the other cops were angry at him because he intervened on behalf of the pregnant woman.

(Photo: Wiki Creative Commons)The lieutenant ordered Banks to leave his shift early, but then called him as he was driving home to return to the station to fill out a form documenting the alleged intimidation.
But that document was leaked online by an unknown Chicago police officer, the claim states.
And the intimidation continued the following day after one of the cops emailed him a racist image on his department-issued phone, Banks claims.
“The image depicted a caricature of an African-American man with a gun in his mouth, reading: ‘When is a n*gger the most frustrated? When he tries to blow his own brains out,” the claim states.
Chicago attorney Blake Wolfe Horwitz described the image to local media as something from Mississippi during the 1950s, which is when and where 14-year-old Emmett Till was visiting from Chicago when a white mob lynched him after a white woman accused him of whistling at her.
The email received by Black police officer Anthony Banks a day after he intervened on behalf of a pregnant woman who was being assaulted by a fellow Chicago police officer.“The image is the most racially perverse photograph of how an African American can kill himself,” Horwitz told ABC 7. “It is a 1950s Mississippi-type of representation.”
Listed as defendants in the lawsuit along with the city of Chicago are “Lieutenant Naro” and two cops with the surnames Venegas and Walter, as well as several unnamed officers, including a sergeant.
However, Naro is actually Lt. Nari Haro, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The lawsuit accuses the cops of violating Banks’ Fourth Amendment rights by surrounding him, preventing him from walking away, as well as racial discrimination and false imprisonment.
‘They All Surrounded My Client’The incident took place on March 17 in Chicago police’s District 11, the same district where a group of cops killed a 26-year-old Black man named Dexter Reed in the Humboldt Park neighborhood by shooting 96 rounds in 41 seconds at him.
The lawsuit states that Banks observed a heated exchange between a pregnant woman and a cop whose name remains unknown.
“Plaintiff observed the defendant unknown officer bump into the woman which escalated the confrontation,” the claim states.
“Plaintiff attempted to de-escalate the situation by stepping between the defendant unknown officer and the pregnant woman and asking the defendant unknown officer to calm down.”
Attorney Horwitz told ABC 7 that Banks told the other cop, “Why don’t you distance yourself and give her some room?”
And that did not go well with the other cop who confronted Banks later that day at the police station, accusing him of “interfering with his team.”
Several more cops then surrounded Banks, letting him know he was not free to leave.
“Go back to where you came from,” one cop said.
Another cop told him to “go back to the 3rd District,” which the lawsuit describes as “having predominantly African-American officers.”
“Nah, N*gga,” another cop mumbled under his breath.
Two police sergeants who witnessed the intimidation then intervened, telling the cops to stop intimidating him, Banks reports.
“They encircled him in such a fashion that he did not feel free to leave,” Horwitz told ABC 7.
“They all surrounded my client and start making racial comments, using [a racial slur] and also telling him to go back from where he came from, which has a double meaning.”
Banks then reported the incident to Lt. Haro, who dismissed his concerns, sending him home early.
He then took a medical leave of absence due to “emotional distress, trauma, and fear for his safety,” the claim states.
Banks returned to work on July 1 but was transferred to the police department’s 6th District, ABC 7 reported.
The 6th District patrols Chicago’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood, which is more than ten miles from the Humboldt Park neighborhood, where police from the 11th District patrol.
The Chicago Police Department has had a long history of racism towards citizens and its own officers. And last week, Atlanta Black Star reported on a Black off-duty Chicago cop who was arrested in Arizona for chirping his tires, who is also suing.
“My client has chosen to ruffle feathers and chosen to come out and tell what happened because it’s important,” Horwitz told ABC 7.
‘Yikes’: WWE Superstar John Cena Seen Hunched Over In France as Fans Notice He Can ‘Hardly Walk’
WWE legend John Cena’s ongoing professional wrestling retirement tour seems to be taking a toll on his 48-year-old body.
Footage of the record-breaking, 17-time world champion interacting with excited WWE enthusiasts outside a French hotel made its way to the internet.
In the clip, Cena is seen slowly exiting a van. The “Peacemaker” actor then appears to walk with his back slightly hunched over as he retrieves his luggage from the trunk of the vehicle.

(Photo credit: WWE/YouTube)Social media users noticed Cena appeared to be dealing with noticeable aches during his visit to France. For instance, an Instagram user asked, “Is he ok? He looks [like] he’s in pain.”
“What’s up, champion? I’m so sorry,” a Cena supporter proclaimed, trying to atone for an unnamed wrong against the superfamous celebrity.
“Bless him, he can hardly walk,” another concerned person expressed on the platform. One commenter in the replies theorized, “I know that walk. Probably a bad back. Yikes.”
The photo-seekers surrounding the two-time Royal Rumble winner in the video caught heat, too. Someone chastised them by commenting, “Dude can’t walk [and] people wanna take pictures.”

In contrast, Cena earned praise when a different poster wrote, “Clearly in some physical discomfort, but still takes some time to take photos with fans. John Cena is a classy guy.”
Cena, 48, traveled to Nanterre, France, to take on social media influencer-turned-professional wrestler Logan Paul at the Clash in Paris livestreamed event on Aug. 31.
After pinning the 30-year-old Paul in a 26-minute match inside the Paris La Défense Arena on Sunday, Cena is expected to wrestle at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza show on Sept. 20.
Wrestlepalooza will take place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. WWE’s next main roster Premium Live Event will be the first to stream on ESPN’s direct-to-consumer service.
Cena formally announced his plans to retire during a surprise appearance at the 2024 Money in the Bank event in Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on July 6.
The 2012 Money in the Bank contract holder told the rowdy Canadian crowd and the home viewers around the world that 2025 would be his final year as an in-ring wrestler.
“Tonight, I officially announce my retirement from the WWE,” Cena said while standing in the middle of the ring, as the audience gasped in shock. He added, “This farewell does not end tonight. It is filled with opportunity.”
Cena went on to defeat Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of 2025’s WrestleMania 41 on April 20, giving him his 17th professional wrestling world title. He broke the all-time record of world championship wins he previously held with Ric Flair.
View this post on InstagramWhile Cena’s wrestling career is coming to an end in December 2025, the Massachusetts-bred sports entertainer’s acting career continues to flourish.
Season two of “Peacemaker” premiered on August 21. HBO Max’s James Gunn-created superhero television series is centered around Cena’s character.
Cena debuted as Christopher “Peacemaker” Smith in 2021’s “The Suicide Squad” movie, which was directed by Gunn. He also made a cameo as the antihero in the 2025 “Superman” film.
Moviegoers can expect to see Cena return to the big screen in 2026 as part of the cast for the “Matchbox” action-adventure comedy. Netflix also tapped the six-time WrestleMania headliner for the streamer’s forthcoming “Little Brother” motion picture.

‘Demeaning’: Ben Affleck Savagely Blocks JLo’s Calls and Texts, Now All Communication Has to Go Through Someone Else
Jennifer Lopez, 56, and Ben Affleck, 53, finalized their divorce in January 2025, but new allegations suggest the exes are currently not on good terms.
The “Unstoppable” actress and “The Accountant 2” actor, once collectively known as Bennifer, rekindled their romance in 2021 after the A-list couple spent years as gossip fodder in the early 2000s.
A first failed engagement ended in January 2004, but Lopez and Affleck eventually circled the block 17 years later. Then the pair finally exchanged vows at their wedding held in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
Bennifer 2.0 did not make it to the five-year mark. They were separated by April 2024. In August of that year, Lopez filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The divorce was finalized in January 2025.

Lopez declared to Interview magazine in October 2024 that her “whole world exploded” after the divorce from Affleck.
Both the “Waiting for Tonight” hitmaker and the “Gone Baby Gone” director have spoken out publicly about the demise of their marriage.
“There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue,” Affleck insisted when discussing his split from Lopez in a March 2025 conversation with GQ magazine.
According to the Star outlet, Ben has allegedly been giving JLo the cold shoulder behind the scenes though.
“She’s stopped leaving messages or texts because he never answers,” an unnamed insider told the celebrity tabloid. “It’s so demeaning and rude.”
Affleck apparently passed on the responsibility of communicating with his ex-wife to lawyers and assistants. The anonymous individual added, “It’s driving J.Lo absolutely batty.”
View this post on InstagramDespite that supposed personal information coming from a nameless source, Yahoo readers were not kind to Lopez for seemingly being ignored by the two-time Academy Award winner.
“That’s the smartest move he could do,” one person argued in favor of Affleck. A co-signer replied, “Was about to say that’s super healthy from Ben.”
Lopez caught flak when someone wrote, “She is getting desperate. Good on him to ignore her.” Another poster wondered, “Isn’t it very obvious she’s still holding onto him?”
“Give it a rest, Sister. The marriage is over and the man wants minimal contact, so get a clue!” exclaimed an aggravated commenter.
Since Affleck and Lopez did not have children together, their separation does not require the sometimes awkwardness of co-parenting. However, their business relationship had to continue post-marriage.
Affleck served as a producer for the Lopez-starring “Unstoppable” biographical sports drama. The Amazon Prime Video production was released on the streaming service on December 6, 2024.
In addition, Lopez plays the titular role in the upcoming “Kiss of the Spider Woman” movie musical. The Bronx, New York, native co-produced the motion picture alongside Affleck and his longtime industry partner Matt Damon.
“Kiss of the Spider Woman” will premiere in North American theaters on Oct. 10. The film adaptation of Argentine author Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel of the same name features actors Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, too.
Lopez and Affleck also had to deal with the Beverly Hills mansion they once shared during their marriage. They pulled the 38,000-square-foot property off the market in July because a buyer had yet to close on the residence purchased for $60.8 million in 2023.
“While they’ve been hoping to sell the property, they’ve also been hesitant to take a big loss,” a source explained to People. “They lowered the price to get more interest and when this didn’t happen, they were advised to take it off the market. It was a business decision that they made together.”
J.Lo reportedly bought a separate $18 million home in the Los Angeles area in March 2025, just weeks after the divorce was finalized. Affleck is said to have moved into a $20.5 million Los Angeles estate in July 2024 amid rumors of a breakup with Lopez.
‘Sounded Like a Malfunctioning Vacuum’: RFK Jr’s Wheezing Overshadows Fiery Senate Hearing on His Controversial Vaccine Overhaul
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s heavy breathing was so loud, labored, and distracting at a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Thursday that an aide had to tell him to mute his mic when he wasn’t speaking to the committee.
The contentious hearing was originally scheduled for senators to learn more about Kennedy’s plans to “Make America Healthy Again,” but devolved into shouting matches and fiery back-and-forths over the secretary’s changes to COVID-19 vaccine protocols and his firing of the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week.
But during the raucous three-hour hearing, Kennedy’s breathing became more and more obvious and distracting even while senators were speaking.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. testifies before the Senate Finance Committee at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on September 04, 2025, in Washington, DC. The committee met to hear testimony on President Trump’s 2026 health care agenda. (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)His wobbly voice is caused by a neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia, which affects speech. Vocal cord spasms due to the disease can also cause hard, noisy breathing.
Independent journalist Aaron Rupar, who was posting about the hearing live, called attention to the problem: “RFK Jr’s breathing now sounds like bomb explosions.”

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 4, 2025“LMAO – an aide seemingly tells RFK Jr to mute his mic and stop breathing like a total freak,” Rupar said in another X post.
White Man Fights Black Amazon Delivery Driver and Gets a Dose of Karma He Was Not Expecting
And this, “I can’t focus on what senators are saying over RFK Jr’s breathing and wheezing. Sorry, folks,” Rupar said.
A social media storm followed.
“Stop breathing would be an ideal solution, honestly,” another X user agreed.
“Has RFK always sounded like Darth Vader? Is this new??” Peter Twinklage wondered in a post on X.
“Can someone get the Secretary some oxygen?” Rose Benson chimed in on X.
And this comment, “This hearing is now a comedy show. RFK Jr’s aide literally leaning in like ‘for God’s sake, mute your mic… stop breathing like Darth Vader.’ Unfit. Unhinged. Unbelievable.”
“Breathing like a malfunctioning vacuum cleaner? Mute yourself permanently!” Deepak Chendra ordered. Another X user agreed, “Imagine hearing that in the dark.”
During the hearing, Kennedy, a longtime leader in the anti-vax movement, tried to defend his decisions to change vaccine recommendations despite clear clinical and scientific evidence to the contrary and to explain the turmoil underway at federal health agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the CDC.
Kennedy has made extensive changes since taking charge of the nation’s health agencies, including firing thousands of workers and science advisers and upending vaccine guidelines.
Public health experts have expressed fear and concern over his policies and his anti-vax views.
Kennedy also tried to explain why he fired Trump’s pick and Senate-confirmed CDC director, Susan Monarez, less than a month into her appointment. Other top leaders at the agency also resigned in protest.
Monarez wrote in The Wall Street Journal Thursday that Kennedy is trying to erode public health protections.
“I was told to preapprove the recommendations of a vaccine advisory panel newly filled with people who have publicly expressed antivaccine rhetoric,” she wrote. “It is imperative that the panel’s recommendations aren’t rubber-stamped but instead are rigorously and scientifically reviewed before being accepted or rejected.”
Monarez is referring to Kennedy’s firing in June of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a panel of independent experts that makes vaccine recommendations and guidelines.
The Associated Press reported that several of Kennedy’s choices are critical of vaccines, especially the COVID-19 shot and mRNA vaccine technology in general, and have links to groups behind the spread of misinformation on vaccines.
‘This is White Privilege’: Video Shows Suspect Wrestling Cops, Grabbing Holster, Nearly Cops and Treated with ‘Compassion’ Instead of Violence
A recent arrest is causing an outcry over a racial double standard in the way police handle suspects.
In a video shared on Instagram, a white man can be seen resisting arrest for a full 30 seconds at a family-friendly community event. At one point, he grabbed a male officer’s holster and nearly knocked a female officer over, causing her to fall into a fence.
A screen grab captures a dramatic arrest. (Photo: Instagram/a_voiceinthewilderness)Despite this, he was never physically hurt, whether by pepper spray or worse, by being punched or kicked. Instead, the officers first attempted a “bear hug” approach, grappling with the man but never touching his face or reaching for a baton or other weapon, even as he pressed his full body weight into the cops. “This is white privilege,” one viewer wrote.

Eventually, the trio stumbled to a low fence. As the cops pulled on his arms, a third officer approached and appeared to strike up a conversation with the suspect, seemingly trying to calm him down.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by Marquice Brown (@a_voiceinthewilderness)
“He [is] resisting arrest and those white cops are so nice, no Taser, pepper spray, no gun pulled out, no punches, amazing. And the third officer, gently trying to tell him it’s ok, you’re safe,” read one of hundreds of comments pointing out the disparate treatment by police of Black vs. white suspects. “Smh, where’s this type of compassion when the ‘culprit’ is African American,” asked an outraged viewer, while another added, “Anybody noticed he didn’t get punched in the jaw?”
“Black man would’ve been shot dead,” read a heartbreaking comment that prompted a flood of ignorant responses, from mocking a supposed “victim mentality” to asserting that “Black people are catered to.”
Some refused to acknowledge the existence of a racial double standard.
“This probably has less to do with skin color and more to do with the sheer mass of that man,” said one, adding, “Watch videos of cops taking down built black men as well, it’s the same thing.”
Those opinions were quickly checked in the comments section with comparisons to the treatment of William McNeil Jr., the 22-year-old Florida college student who was punched in the face during a traffic stop for an alleged headlight and seatbelt violation in February. His case sparked national outrage, and he is still suffering from his injuries. At a July 2025 press conference, his attorneys said he was facing a long recovery, and he still doesn’t understand why he was attacked.
Data shows that Black people are killed by police at a much higher rate than other races. From 2015 through the end of 2024, Black Americans were about two and a half times more likely to be fatally shot by police than white Americans, according to a Statista analysis, standing at 6.1 fatal shootings per million of the population every year.
“A black family would be mourning the passing of their loved one,” wrote one commenter about the “bear hug” arrest. “Wow, must be nice resisting and still being alive.”
‘WINNER, WINNER’: Fans Say Gavin Newsom’s Latest Post May Be the Clapback That Finally Shuts Trump Down
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has taken his digital warfare against President Donald Trump to unprecedented heights.
The Democratic leader unleashed a savage meme that has the internet buzzing and social media users picking sides in what has become the most entertaining political feud of 2025.
Newsom’s latest trolling masterpiece features an unflattering photo of Trump on X, looking unusually flushed and heavier than usual. Newsome posted the image shortly after Trump posted a distorted image of Rosie O’Donnell threatening her citizenship.
California Governor Gavin Newsom escalated his feud with President Trump by sharing an unflattering meme that went viral and sparked a massive social media battle. (Photos by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images; Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)The image, shared by Newsom on Sept. 3, shows Trump with a deep reddish complexion, his blondish-ginger hair spilling from beneath his signature red “Make America Great Again” hat.
Wearing a plain white polo shirt featuring his familiar Trump New York logo, the former reality star appears unusually bloated in the AI-generated photo. Social media users quickly latched onto the image, allowing Newsom to weaponize Trump’s likeness in the meme-driven clashes of their ongoing digital feud.
X erupted immediately after the post went live, with shocked users posting, “Woah! Did he gain 50lbs?” while another stamped it as a clear “WINNER, WINNER.”
“Bro what is this jumpscare. Warn us next time. lol.,” said a third person, capturing the absurdity many felt when viewing the image.
Woah! Did he gain 50lbs?
— Conservative Mike (@thegayconserva3) September 4, 2025Speaking directly to Newsom, one person said, ”You triggered MAGAts???” Another person said the image looks like a “Boss Hog impersonator.”
Conservative supporters quickly rallied to Trump’s defense, with MAGA loyalists firing back at the California governor’s tactics.
“Didn’t you make these type of images illegal in your state?” one critic weighed in.
However, defenders of Newsom’s approach countered with practical explanations, with one user clarifying, “It’s not an ad or an election communication. It’s a Tweet.”
It's not an ad or an election communication.
It's a Tweet.
Even funnier, fans resurfaced a Senate hearing where Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy warned about contaminated seafood using a visual aid: a photo of the monster from Alien.
But someone slyly swapped the creature out for the same unflattering AI image of Trump — and suddenly Kennedy’s serious speech sounded like late-night comedy.
“This is a photograph of the alien from the movie ‘Alien” Kennedy said, warning it was what people might look like after eating raw imported shrimp. The Trump face, paired with the Senator’s audio, made the moment even more ridiculous.
(Photos: @govpressoffice/X; amay.a100/Threads)This latest exchange stems from Trump’s recent criticism of Newsom, whom he branded “incompetent” while repeating false claims about California’s water management during the Pacific Palisades fires.
The president also made peculiar comments about Newsom’s hand gestures, stating he had “some strange hand action going” and describing it as “a little weird to be honest.” Trump’s rambling critique provided Newsom with the perfect ammunition for his trademark counterattack strategy.
Newsom masterfully flipped Trump’s hand obsession back on him, sharing a video response with the caption, “You really want to have the conversation about hands?”
The governor then posted in Trump’s signature all-caps style: “WOW !! PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS ABOUT ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM: ‘HE’S A NICE GUY, LOOKS GOOD.’ THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS, LITTLE HANDS. EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT ME (AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR!). —GCN.”
This clever response highlighted the irony of Trump criticizing anyone’s physical gestures while sporting a mysterious hand bruise that has sparked its own speculation.
The political rivalry has expanded beyond personal attacks to include family members, with Newsom recently creating a satirical magazine cover featuring himself wearing a crown with the headline “The American King” to mock Trump’s wife, “The American Queen”
This parody emerged after reports surfaced about Vanity Fair potentially featuring Melania Trump on their cover, with Newsom’s press office amplifying the joke by posting “AN HONOR! THANK YOU!!!” in typical Trump fashion.
AN HONOR! THANK YOU!!! pic.twitter.com/X0uUq1PATG
— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) August 29, 2025Questions surrounding Trump’s health have provided additional fuel for Newsom’s relentless campaign.
At 79, the president has faced scrutiny over his physical condition, including acknowledged chronic venous insufficiency and periods of public absence.
According to the Independent, the 57-year-old California governor has seized upon these concerns, previously asking, “Do people with dementia repeat the same falsehoods and crazy conspiracies over and over again?”
Newsom’s unconventional approach appears to be resonating beyond entertainment value, due to his ability to generate viral content while maintaining political relevance demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of modern political communication.
The governor’s merchandise sales, featuring items like “Newsom Was Right About Everything” hats, reportedly generated six figures in revenue, proving that effective trolling can translate into tangible political capital.
This ongoing digital battle represents more than mere social media entertainment; it showcases how political discourse has evolved in the digital age, where memes and viral moments can shape public perception as effectively as traditional campaigning.
‘That’s Priceless’: White Man Fights Black Amazon Delivery Driver and Gets a Dose of Karma He Was Not Expecting
A surprising number of Black delivery drivers get harassed or attacked by road ragers and racists as they crisscross cities and towns to deliver packages. While this video doesn’t make up for the harassment, the instant “karma” might restore your faith in the universe.
Wearing a “Kiss me I’m Irish” T-shirt emblazoned with a four-leaf clover, an older man’s luck ran out when he engaged a young Black Amazon driver in a fist fight.

(Photo: Reddit//r/PublicFreakout)Minutes after hopping out of his SUV and leaving the door open with the keys in the car, the man’s vehicle was stolen by an onlooker. The video opens with the irate man and the driver sparring on a sidewalk thought to be in Newark, New Jersey, in broad daylight, with both of their vehicles blocking traffic.

Although we don’t know how the argument started, the Amazon worker appeared to be on the clock, dressed in a uniform, and nearly all the commenters on Reddit sympathized with him as he was just going about his workday.
“I’m almost certainly siding with the Amazon guy. Dude’s on a tight schedule just trying to work,” wrote one.
Just as the Amazon driver knocked the white man to the sidewalk, a bystander saw an opportunity and stole his SUV, quickly driving off down the street.
“They took your car, bro,” said one witness as the man peeled himself up off the pavement, looking perplexed. Meanwhile, the Amazon worker, feeling confident, challenged him again, saying, “Put your hands on me again, I dare you. I f–king dare you.” But the road rager’s attention had shifted to the more pressing matter.
“They stole my car?” he said in a quiet voice, and then stumbled down the street, like a “shambling zombie,” as one put it in the comments.
“He started out that morning with his health, his dignity, and his car. Lost them all in less than a minute,” stated one.
Studies highlight concerning safety and racial disparities for gig economy workers. Non-white gig workers, who include Amazon drivers, are almost twice as likely to say they have “often felt unsafe” compared to their white counterparts, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center.
Many gig workers have taken to wearing body cameras in an effort to document harassment, but stronger laws are needed to protect their safety.
For now, the video is sparking feelings of satisfaction, especially for those who’ve experienced aggressive tailgaters or other obnoxious behavior on the road.
“I have been waiting for this day that someone gets their car stolen during road rage. Finally,” enthused one person, while others couldn’t help but crack a few jokes: “It was a Prime opportunity for the guy to take his car,” followed up by “he delivered.” Another added, “Omg, that’s priceless right there.”
‘Stay and Talk to Me’: Logan Paul Goes Viral After Wife Appears to Intentionally Kick Him While Exiting the Car Amid Trouble In Paradise Rumors
Is there already trouble in paradise between Logan Paul and his new wife Nina Agdal?
Less than a month after the couple tied the knot on Aug. 15 in Lake Como, Italy, people suspect things are not so sweet between the newlyweds. On Sept. 2, footage surfaced of the two after what appears to be a tense moment before exiting a vehicle in Paris.
Newlyweds Logan Paul and his new wife appear to have tense moment while in Paris. (Photo: @loganpaul/Instagram)One video shows the couple getting out of a parked dark van outside of Hôtel Plaza Athénée. When the door opens, a tall and infuriated looking Paul steps out of the vehicle to walk toward the building. Initially, it seems he had a quick struggle getting out of the car as he kicked his leg aggressively forward to take his first few steps on the ground.
Once he found his footing, he walks on, leaving his new bride behind. Agdal then turns back to grab something out of the vehicle and then eventually follows him inside the building.
Another video shows an opposite angle of the incident, and it looks like Paul’s foot got tangled up in Agdal’s leg. His aggressive leg pull out of the car seemed to be his way of getting free and away from her.

But some people saw something different that made Agdal look like the culprit for the struggle.
One person asked, “Did she just try to trip him?” while another wrote, “Did she kick him?”
Someone else suggested that she wasn’t necessarily trying to trip him, but that she was attempting to stop him from leaving.
“Any man who’s suffered an insufferable woman knows she wasn’t trying to trip him. Those legs were the ‘stop. Don’t get out. Stop. Stay and talk to me. STOP. No. We need to finish talking. Stop’ legs. And he wasn’t having any of it.”
The incident had viewers predicting the worst was to come for the newlyweds.
“Divorce coming in 3,2,1,” said one.
Another said, “Oh, they’re fighting already. I hear the break up bells.”
Paul and Agdal met in 2022 at a NYC event and have wasted no time with their relationship since. They were spotted sharing PDA during the summer of 2022 and by December they were Instagram official.
In 2023, the controversial YouTuber-turned-WWE star got down on one knee asked the Denmark model to marry him and she said yes. They became first time parents to their daughter Esmé Agdal Paul in September 2024 and were married nearly a year later.

The 33-year-old Agdal has been modeling since she was a teenager. But in 2012, she got her big break after landing the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’s “Rookie of the Year.”
She’s also known for her past high profile relationships with people like Leonardo DiCaprio, and model Christie Brinkley’s son, Jack Brinkley-Cook.
Paul, on the other hand, started his claim to fame as an internet sensation who joined social media at age 10. He’s now amassed millions of subscribers and followers on YouTube and other social media apps. In 2018, he made a pivot to boxing and fought legends like former welterweight boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and MMA star Dillon Danis.
Then in 2022, he transitioned to WWE fighting and was embraced by the community through his already established fame and athleticism. He’s since matched himself against Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, LA Knight, and more, culminating with his most recent match, a defeat against WWE star John Cena last week.
‘F— That N—a!: Video Shows White Teens Push Black Boy Into Farm Equipment in Brutal Attack But Sheriff Claims It Wasn’t Racially Motivated
The family of a Black boy who was beaten by a group of young white teenagers in a barn has retained legal representation to demand a hate crime investigation into the attack.
The video shows several white teens grabbing a 14-year-old boy and pushing him against farm equipment in a barn before beating him and slamming him on the ground.
One person behind the camera is heard saying, “F*** that n****a.” Another person is also heard saying the word “n****r” as the fight ensues.
A video screenshot shows an attack on a boy in a barn. (Photo: Facebook/ChitownCrimechasers-CCC’s post)The incident took place at an underage drinking party in a barn in the rural town of Pulaski, Wisconsin, on Aug. 17.
Cellphone footage of the attack went viral and sparked outrage on social media and demands for accountability.
After local authorities interviewed the victim and gathered witness accounts, they determined the attack was not racially motivated but was triggered by an alleged ongoing dispute between the victim and his assailants connected to prior allegations of assault, attempted theft, and threats.
However, the attorney for the victim’s family disputed the conclusion that the attack wasn’t motivated by race.
“When a Black teenager is targeted, beaten, and subjected to racial epithets — that is a hate crime,” civil rights attorney B’Ivory LaMarr told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “This case is about accountability, protecting children, and ensuring equal protection under the law. Anything less sends the wrong message to victims and emboldens perpetrators of hate.”
Iowa County Sheriff Michael Peterson said that law enforcement was called to the scene over a report of a structure fire, but they arrived to find an underage drinking party. Most of the partygoers cleared out by the time officers got there.
Peterson said that the party was the third underage drinking gathering police had been called to in recent weeks, and all the parties were the sites of physical altercations. Yet, no one came forward with any witness accounts about the altercations until after the Aug. 17 party.
The victim of the Aug. 17 attack told police that someone attempted to “jump” him at the party and that his attackers mistook him for someone else they had a prior “beef” with.
One Black male witness wrote a statement to the sheriff’s office saying he helped break up the fight and that he never heard any non-Black people at the party use the N-word. Multiple Black people were at the scene, including the person recording the video.
The witness said the fight stemmed from previous confrontations with the 14-year-old victim. The victim’s mother insists it was a case of mistaken identity and the attackers meant to target another Black teen, but the sheriff’s office determined that the 14-year-old was the intended target of the attack based on witness statements.
“The Sheriff’s Office has pointed to claims about prior disputes and alleged behavior by the victim, but let’s be clear — even if those claims were true, they do not excuse the brutal assault that followed,” LaMarr said. “To minimize or dismiss the racial component in this case only deepens the harm and undermines public trust.”
Although no charges have been filed so far, Sheriff Peterson called the video “disturbing” and said that arrests are still possible. He said some of the attackers were minors and others were over the age of 18.
The District Attorney’s Office has not yet received a criminal referral from the sheriff’s office.
LaMarr plans to file a formal complaint with the state Department of Justice and request that the teens involved in the beating be charged with hate crimes.
The victim’s mother said that she and her son live an hour away from Pulaski and that the teen was invited to the party by some of his friends.
“It’s still hard for me to even watch the video. I can’t stomach it,” the victim’s mother said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
‘Messed Around With My Guy’: Vivica A. Fox Shuts Down ‘Set It Off’ Sequel Rumors with One Brutal Fact Fans Forgot
Veteran actress Vivica A. Fox, 61, is dashing the hopes of any movie buffs hoping for another installment to the era-defining “Set It Off” motion picture featuring four leading women.
Fox starred in the F. Gary Gray-directed “Set It Off” alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Kimberly Elise. The 1996 action drama built a cult following, with many fans calling for a sequel to be made.
Actress Vivica A. Fox stuns fans in a win sequin suit at the Lifetime + Hulu “A Wonderful Lifetime” holiday event. (Photo: Msvfox/Instagram.)Gray chose Foxx to portray Los Angeles-based bank teller Francesca “Frankie” Sutton in the heist flick. Frankie’s partners in crime Lida “Stony” Newsome was played by Pinkett, Cleopatra “Cleo” Sims was played by Latifah, and Tisean “T.T.” Williams was played by Elise.
A recent episode of the “Legacy Talk” podcast with “The Chi” television series creator Lena Waithe featured a conversation with Fox. At one point, Waithe spoke about her appreciation for “Set It Off” and the film’s cast.
Fox also recalled how Gray visited her on the set of 1996’s “Independence Day” and asked her to audition for “Set It Off.” Her “Independence Day” co-star, Will Smith, then helped Fox prepare for the potential role. Smith went on to marry Pinkett in 1997.
“Awesome,” Fox answered when Waithe asked about her experience working with Pinkett, Latifah, and Elise. “A sisterhood I will never forget. We made a classic, and I’m so very proud of that.”
Waithe later asked about a particular scene when Fox’s character tried to cut Jada’s character out of the money pit. “I was jealous of her,” Fox admitted. “She had messed around with my guy, that’s why I was so jealous of her.
After reflecting on her past, she shut down fans’ requests for a sequel. “And I wish people would quit saying, ‘Make a sequel.’ We dead! The only one alive is Jada y’all!”
“She jealous?” said one person in the Shade Room’s comments. Another said, “Wait.. did we miss that.. when they say TeTe was messing with Frankie man tho?!?!”
A third said, “Riiiight! Embrace the classic!!! Write something new! Set it off don’t need nothing but to be left alone.”
While a “Set It Off” sequel with the original foursome appears to be a pipe dream due to three of the main characters not surviving the first film, an Issa Rae-produced reboot has been in the works. Syreeta Singleton was attached to the project as a writer.
“It’s going to be a good one. It’s something that we were very careful about, because it’s ‘Set It Off,’ and we want to make sure we do it right. I feel like it’s a story that people are going to be really, really excited about,” Singleton told The Wrap in February 2025.
Fox was outspokenly against a reimagined version of “Set It Off” being released in theaters. In 2019, the former “Empire” supporting cast member shared her thoughts on Rae attempting to recreate Gray’s crime movie.
“Leave it alone, there’s absolutely no reason to try to re-do it,” Fox said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “It’s been done, and we did it so well that people are absolutely going to compare it to that and I think that’s her taking on a tremendous chore because that film has become a cult classic and some things are just better left [alone].”
Pinkett Smith had similar takes to Fox about possibly coming back for a second “Set It Off” and the news that Rae is rebooting the crime drama in the 21st century. The Daytime Emmy Award winner shut down both ideas in 2019.
“Absolutely not. I don’t know why people keep thinking that,” Pinkett Smith made clear when questioned by Where Is The Buzz on if theatergoers will ever get a “Set It Off” sequel. The interview took place on the red carpet for the “Angel Has Fallen” premiere.
She resumed, “I know what we want, the original cast. So whether they decide to do an extension of it in some way, recast it in some way, I personally think that’s just something you leave alone. It’s a classic, it’s done.”
New Line Cinema’s “Set It Off” grossed $36 million at the domestic box office. Both Pinkett and Latifah earned Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture nominations at the 1997 NAACP Image Awards.
‘Is He Cheating Already?’: Jeff Bezos’ Marriage Takes a Twist After Lauren Sánchez Drops a Cryptic Message That Has Fans Reading Between the Lines
Trouble may be brewing since Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez returned to their regular jet-setting lifestyle weeks after the billonaire’s mother passed away.
After standing by her husband through a tragic loss, Sánchez whisked him away to her home country of Mexico, where the couple shared a few cozy moments together. But fans think there may be more to the story after the former journalist posted a cryptic message to her Instagram Story on Wednesday night.
Jeff Bezos’ wife Lauren Sánchez drops cryptic message online, fueling rumors about their marriage. (Photo: Cindy Ord/MG24/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue)“Sometimes the hardest work is tolerating the unknown,” she wrote, with a white heart emoji at the end.
Against a breathtaking blaze of orange sunset, the white text floated across the screen as Lesfm Oxley’s “At Sea” played softly, adding a dreamy, cinematic touch to the moment.
It’s been months since the married couple’s star-studded wedding in Venice, but news about Bezos’ mom reportedly put the brakes on their European honeymoon, which included stops in Ibiza, Spain, and France. Still, a cryptic post from Sánchez has fans buzzing, leaving many to speculate about what might have happened behind the scenes.
“She is feeling antsy waiting when to post her selfies on social media after her mother-in-law’s sad passing,” said one Daily Mail observer.
Meanwhile, a few people believe infidelity — on Besoz’s part — may be at play.
Lauren Sánchez shares cryptic post online. (Photo: laurensanchezbezos/Instagram)“His cheating already?… Just think of the payout lozza,” said one person, referring to their prenup, to which another replied, “Probably has to put up with it for at least 5 years first.”
Plenty of experts have chimed in publicly, advising the Amazon founder to sign a prenup and not forego the millions he worked hard for. In 2019 after his divorce, Bezos’ ex-wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Scott, gained a 4 percent stake in Amazon. She is the mother of his three children and now one of the world’s wealthiest women in the world with Forbes now estimating her net worth at over $165 billion.
“They do say that when a husband marries his mistress, he creates a vacancy,” said another Daily Mail reader.
The timeline between when Bezos’ first marriage ended and when he began dating is rather blurred. 2019 is also the year that Sánchez finalized her divorce from Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell. Whitesell is the father of her son, Evan and his younger sister, Ella. Sánchez also has a son, named Nikko, with her ex-boyfriend, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
But that’s not the only drama surrounding this newlywed couple. Reports claim Bezos is “obsessed” with casting his new wife as the next Bond girl. According to Variety, his company, Amazon MGM Studios, took over creative control of the James Bond franchise after partnering with the franchise’s producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Backgrid shared a post on Instagram reporting Sánchez’s response when asked if she was going to be a Bond girl in the legendary 007 films. Her wealthy husband is allegedly dead-set on seeing her as a Bond girl.
“He’s obsessed,” said an insider about Bezos. “This isn’t just fantasy casting — Jeff wants her on screen, period.”
The outlet reported that the billionaire’s wife was on her way into the celebrity hotspot at Alba in West Hollywood when she was asked if she might appear in the next James Bond movie for the franchise. Sánchez reportedly responded with a “glowing smile” when asked if she had a role as a Bond girl in the film.
Her cheeky response set off a firestorm on social media as disgruntled moviegoers let their feelings be known on the matter, and they were not kind.
#LaurenSanchez sparked buzz during a night out at Alba in West Hollywood when asked if she might appear in the next James Bond movie.
Reports suggest #JeffBezos wants his wife to play a major role, possibly as a Bond girl, in the upcoming film.
Sanchez didn’t confirm or deny… pic.twitter.com/6Z4cZnvE0J
A user on X replied, “Bezos is gonna ruin the Bond franchise, isn’t he?”
“All the Bond girls will turn over in their graves,” wrote another 007 fan.
Bond fans who aren’t thrilled with the idea of Sánchez playing a Bond girl may be in luck, because RadarOnline reports that “Euphoria” actress Sydney Sweeney is in talks to star in the 007 franchise as a Bond girl.
“Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond,” said a source to the outlet.
The 27-year-old actress is also acquainted with the billionaires and attended their over-the-top wedding in Venice, Italy, back in June.
Bezos hasn’t publicly spoken about casting a Bond girl, but the billionaire recently asked moviegoers who they’d choose as the next James Bond on X. “Who’d you pick as the next Bond?”
‘Y’all Got Baby Girl Cussing’: ‘Bernie Mac Show’ Star Dee Dee Davis Explodes on Fans Who Keep Bringing Up Bernie Mac in the Worst Way
‘Bernie Mac’ show star Dee Dee Davis has delivered a blunt warning to fans who continue asking inappropriate questions about her TV uncle Bernie Mac’s passing.
The 29-year-old actress and mother of two recently reached her breaking point during a live session, making it clear she will no longer tolerate what she considers rude and intrusive inquiries about grief and loss.
The former child star, who played Bryana “Baby Girl” Thomkins alongside Bernie Mac on “The Bernie Mac Show” from 2001 to 2006, has grown weary of persistent questions about how the comedian’s passing affected her personally.
Dee Dee Davis from “The Bernie Mac Show” told fans to stop asking her inappropriate questions about Bernie Mac’s passing during a fiery TikTok live session. (Photos: @deedeedavis1/Instagram, Kevin Winter/Getty Images)Davis played Mac’s youngest niece, who was taken in by the comedian and his wife, Wanda, along with her two older siblings in the groundbreaking series that showcased Black family dynamics with humor and authenticity.
During an excerpt of what seems to have been a heated live session captured by DramaTeaLives on TikTok, Davis didn’t hold back as sheu confronted alleged comments head-on, flipping the question back on them.
“Do you want to know how a death affected me? How does death affect you?” she asked, visibly frustrated, declaring “Yes, I’m the little girl from ‘The Bernie Mac Show.’ Also, I’m not little anymore.”
In an attempt to underscore what she deemed the inappropriateness of such questions, Davis drew a direct comparison.
“I don’t sit here and be like, ‘How’d you feel when your grandma died?’ Why would — like… no. I don’t take kindly to that. So that’s the last, the first, and the only warning,” she clapped back.
Her response resonated with fans, many of whom defended her on social media.
One TikTok follower noted, “Bernie Mac’s daughter [Je’Niece McCullough] has a whole page dedicated to him and y’all are harassing this girl 20 years later.”
On The Neighborhood Talk, followers rallied around her.

“That’s not babygirl. That’s Uncle Bernie coming out,” one user observed, recognizing the fierce protective spirit the comedian was known for.
Another added, “Not y’all got Babygirl cussing like a sailor. LEAVE HER ALONE.”
Fans further connected Davis’ reaction to Mac’s in-your-face-no-nonsense persona.
“People are sick! I’m glad she addressed it just like Bernie would want her too!!” wrote one supporter, while another playfully imagined, “Bernie smiling down like .. ‘America would u look at that, baby girl done cursed the world out for her uncle Bernie.’”
The outpouring of support highlighted the deep loyalty viewers still hold for both Davis and the comedian’s legacy.
Beyond addressing unwelcome questions, over the last few months, Davis has been engaging with fans in more positive ways.
In June 2025, she visited the real-life house in Encino, California, that inspired the exterior shots of “The Bernie Mac” show. Sharing a nostalgic moment in a video, she said, “Guess where I am at? Real nostalgia right here. So, this was actually the house the show was modeled after in Encino, California.”

— The Art Of Dialogue (@ArtOfDialogue_) June 17, 2025While the home had undergone some updates, including a wrought iron gate, the covered carport and surrounding trees remained as fans remembered from the opening credits.
She added behind-the-scenes context: “We actually taped here outside a couple of times in the first season!” The visit allowed longtime viewers to relive memories of the sitcom that ran five seasons before concluding in 2006.
Davis’ life now reflects her evolution from child star to independent creator. She once ventured into content creation on an adult subscription-based site in 2023, describing herself as “a Big girl now” in her bio.
The Culver City native also shares workout routines and focuses on personal development, keeping criticism and unsolicited opinions at a distance. She shares photos of herself out enjoying life, showing fans her personality and hustle.

Recently, Davis was tapped as one of the hosts on Money Tree TV, where she interviews influencers and celebrities, building a life for herself outside of the legacy of the “Ocean’s Eleven” actor or discussing his untimely demise.
Her recent warning stands as a reminder that personal boundaries matter, especially for those who grew up in the public eye. And in the same blunt spirit that made her Uncle Bernie a legend, Davis proves that the student can carry forward the teacher’s legacy — protecting what matters to her most and not being scared of those motherlovers.
‘She Risking a Lawsuit’: Beyoncé’s New Collab Leaks and the BeyHive Erupts After Learning Who Did It
Beyoncé just got some free promo, but it may have cost an Amazon worker her job.
An unidentified woman recorded herself at work showing a pair of Levi’s jeans from the singer’s collection. The moment became a shock after the woman shamelessly ripped open a plastic bag that held a pair of jeans from the singer’s collab at the warehouse.
Beyonce’s new denim line gets leaked after an Amazon worker shares videos of warehouse inventory, risking her job. (Phot0: @beyonce/Instagram)The video was reshared on The Uncutt’s page via Instagram on Wednesday, Sept. 3, and had some fans demanding the woman be removed from her job.
In one slide posted by the site, the woman appeared wearing a pink shirt and a red headband. After pulling out the jeans from the plastic wrap, she held them close to the camera lens. Zooming specifically on the area with the price tags, she said, “That’s what the f-cking the tag looks like. That’s what the other tag looks like. It says her name at the top.”
After double checking that her co-worker was on the lookout to make sure her boss was coming, the woman continued with her full review. She panned them across the lens to reveal the bedazzled details in the legs. She also showed how “fairly deep” the front pockets were, as well as the back pockets, and the bottom leg of the jeans.
The woman then quickly rubbed the pants against another item. “That’s how your rhinestones sound, they real,” she noted mid-laugh.
Opening them up on the inside, she took note that there were three buttons to hold up the jeans and no zipper, like most traditional pants. “All right, that’s all y’all getting. Bye,” the woman said before concluding the video.
In another slide, the video starts in the middle of the woman showing how many pairs of jeans they have in the warehouse. Thumbing through the plastic, she counted, “Bout one, two, three pairs of them in the f-cking warehouse, that’s crazy.”

“Oh B, you out your f-cking mind because, b-tch, this ain’t even a whole top,” she said. “This ain’t even the whole fit.”
Seconds later, the video cut to the woman pulling out a pair of jeans still in the package and she proceeded to open it. The woman noted, “So if you order a pair and they already came outside of the plastic, mind your business. I wanted to see what they look like too.”
She then professed her love for the job as she kept looking over her shoulder, indicating that this was something she’s probably done before.

Suddenly the female worker paused with a dumbfounded facial expression before she realized she was still in the clear. “I thought that was my main boss,” she said. “I know he was gon’ be like, ‘Why … is you opening that?’”
She moved slightly away from the camera and turned her back to it to hold the jeans up but realized her viewers wouldn’t be able to get a good look. So she turned her body to face the camera instead and held the jeans up over her face to show the entire piece of clothing.
The 501® ’90s Women’s Jeans are a light denim decorated with several rhinestones throughout the piece.
“Oh these … nice as hell,” the woman said, complimenting the pants before adding another remark that indicated she was more than impressed. She followed up with, “Oh…snatched waist B! Tiny waist.”
While many laughed in the comments, a few unhappy social media users tagged Beyonce, Amazon, and Levi’s personal Instagram pages, advising the brands to enforce some kind of damage control.
One person who came across The Uncutt’s video said, “I would be pissed if those were my items. Not her rubbing against the rhinestones on the rack line. Girl bye, you’re fired!”
Another wrote, “And put her face in the video… I can tell you now, sis is fired or will be soon. Amazon does not play that mess.”
Two others said, “She risking a lawsuit.”
But on the bright side, the woman may have gotten Beyoncé some more sales.
One person said, “She made me want to buy some. Thanks sis.”
The woman’s fate remains unclear, and it’s unknown if she was actually fired. But anyone curious about the jeans now has their answer.
According to the website, the jeans are 100% cotton non-stretch and have 5-pocket styling, described as “Mid-rise with a loose fit that’s just right.”
Beyoncé’s partnership with Levi’s began in September 2024, paired with the release of her single “LEVII’S JEANS” from her country album “Cowboy Carter.” The collaboration launched a series of short films featuring the singer in various locations, showcasing different styles and variations of denim.
Months after the first film, “Launderette,” which was shot in a laundromat, came “Pool Hall” in February 2025, which shows Beyoncé schooling a bunch of men in the game of pool. “Refrigerator” arrived in April with a short film about her working at a dinner in a pair of daisy-duck style Levi shorts and a red bandana on her head. The most recent video marks the third installment of Levi’s REIMAGINE campaign, which reinterprets classic looks and films.
‘She Risking a Lawsuit’: Beyoncé’s New Collab Leaks and the BeyHive Erupts After Learning Who Did It
‘Sick’: Fans Blast ‘X-Files’ Star David Duchovny After News Breaks He Secretly Married His Girlfriend, Who’s ‘Young Enough to Be His Daughter’
Former “X-Files” star David Duchovny, 65, secretly wed his longtime girlfriend in February.
The actor, who played Fox Mulder for 11 seasons on the show, confirmed the big news that he and Monique Pendleberry, 31, are officially married during an appearance on the “Today with Jenna & Friends” daytime talk show on Sept. 3.
“X-Files” actor David Duchovny confirms secret wedding to a former juicery employee. (Photo: @davidduchovny/Instagram)“By the way, you got married this year. Congratulations!” stated “Today” guest host Savannah Guthrie near the end of the televised segment. A smiling Duchovny acknowledged as he replied, “Thank you. I did.”
Fellow “Today” presenter Willie Geist also asked Duchovny if his romance with Pendleberry inspired any of the content in his new “About Time” poetry book.
“No,” the Golden Globe Award winner responded. “I was checking the Amazon sales on the way here this morning and it said I was the number one love poet.”
He added, “That’s just such a joke because there is no other love poet out there, so I’m one of one. I screenshotted it just to have that. I just think it’s a nice handle.”
As Duchovny was taking pride in his seventh published work, some internet users were more interested in the 34-age gap between him and his new bride.
“Young enough to be his daughter, no doubt,” one Yahoo reader posted in the website’s comment section. Someone else wondered, “What’s up with all these young [women] hooking up with old dudes?”
An even harsher comment read, “Creepy weirdo began dating her when she was 23 and he was 57.” A third said, “She is just there for his money.”
Duchovny was first romantically linked to Pendleberry in 2017, but the pair have mostly remained out of the public eye over the past eight years.
They initially met at the SunLife Organics juicery in Malibu, California. Pendleberry was said to be an employee at the establishment owned by Duchovny’s friend Khalil Rafati.

According to People, the couple were seen together throughout 2023 and 2024, including at the January 2023 premiere of Duchovny’s “You People” movie and the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival.
Duchovny and Pendleberry were also spotted at a Los Angeles Lakers game at Crypto.com Arena in January 2024. Then in September of that year, the now-newlyweds were photographed in the streets of New York City.
Speculation that Duchovny had privately exchanged vows with Pendleberry went into overdrive in May 2025 when The Daily Mail ran an article claiming a spokesperson confirmed the nuptials did take place.
At the time, Pendleberry was photographed wearing a gold band with a diamond ring while out walking a dog with Duchovny in Malibu. Her husband was seen a silver band on his left hand in the pictures as well.

‘I’m Letting You Have It’: Kelly Price Explodes on Fans, Turns Off Comments After Critics Trashed Her Appearance and Zoomed In on Her Feet
Grammy-nominated R&B powerhouse Kelly Price reached her breaking point this week, delivering a fiery Instagram Live response to critics who have been body-shaming her online.
The 52-year-old singer didn’t hold back as she addressed the relentless commentary about her appearance. Price’s frustration boiled over after she witnessed harsh and “disparaging” comments under recent performance photos and videos from her weekend show.

Rather than quietly enduring the criticism, Price confronted her detractors head-on in an emotional live session, ultimately disabling comments on both videos.
“I’m letting you have it right now, because ain’t nothing you can do about that. And while you looking for a new job, I’m still going to be selling out theaters and venues looking like a fat slob in clothes that you said that I look nasty in, and my feet are so damn big, and who dressed me,” Price declared during her lengthy Instagram Live session.
Adding, “I’m still going to be making my money.”

The Queens native made it clear that the attacks on her physical appearance crossed a line, particularly when coming from members of her own community.
She emphasized her roots, reminding viewers that “before I was saved, I was a Black girl born and raised on the South Side of Jamaica,” suggesting she’s not one to back down from confrontation.
Price didn’t mince words about the gender dynamics at play either.
“Any man that feels that he has the right to disrespect a woman that has never done anything to them … you’re a b—ch. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart,” she stated firmly.
The singer’s most controversial statements specifically targeted her own community, though she acknowledged her own spiritual journey.
“Black women, you are some of the most nasty, disrespectful people on God’s planet earth,” she said, her frustration evident. “The things that you say about other Black women—but you’re an activist, and you are educated … find yourself, because a degree does not give you class.”
Price directly addressed the specific criticism she had been receiving, revealing that commenters weren’t critiquing her vocal performance but focusing on superficial aspects.
“You didn’t say I sounded horrible. You said my feet looked like boats in my shoes. You said my clothes looked disgusting. You said I’ve never had any style,” she explained, detailing the personal attacks that pushed her to respond.
Price also made clear she wasn’t seeking validation, simply defending herself. “And I don’t buy into this because I’m an artist, I don’t have the right to respond when someone says something that’s out of pocket. That’s where y’all got it messed up.”
She emphasized the disconnect between her professional success and personal attacks, adding, “If you don’t like me, get the hell off my social media. It don’t affect my bottom line.”
When The Shade Room posted her live video, reactions poured in from across the entertainment industry.
Boxer Claressa Shields showed strong support, commenting, “I AGREE!!!!! I DEAL WITH IT DAILY!”
Another commented, “She’s not wrong. I swear, coming to Black comment sections sometimes feels like the worst parts of high school all over again. The bullying, the teasing.”
Other users noted, “It’s called self projecting they hate themselves.”
A fourth person who had seen the original comments provided context, writing, “Long story short folks commented about her outfit from last night. You can view on kellypricefans page. There were tough comments, but not really nasty, just more concerned. Sending love and light to everyone.”

Price might be on the receiving end of social media bashing now, but in 2024 she was the one tearing people down as not being upright Christians.
The singer briefly served as a judge on BET’s “Sunday Best” from 2019 to 2020, after which she made shocking allegations about her former colleagues.
“I was the only artist/Judge on Sunday Best that wasn’t f—kng someone else’s spouse, fornicating or messing with kids and boys, but you have smoke for me?” she ranted on X in January 2024.
That same year, she also claimed to have been the target of inappropriate advances from religious figures, stating, “Some of your favorite preachers all over your timeline… if they could have gotten me in my bed or in their bed, they would have.”
Her willingness to publicly criticize both gospel artists and preachers suggests that while she condemns online trolling directed at her, she herself calls out others when justified. This reveals the complex nature of her stance against social media negativity.
Price concluded her emotional live session by disabling comments on both her performance video and her response video.
‘Had to Defend My Integrity’: Colorado Hospital Got Black Nurse Arrested for Patient’s Death After She Stood Up Against Racism. Then She Took Her Fight to Court–– and Won
A Black ICU nurse who claimed a Colorado hospital racially discriminated against her and then fired her for complaining, while wrongfully blaming her for an elderly patient’s death, was awarded $20 million by a federal jury last month.
DonQuenick Joppy, 41, sued HCA-HealthOne LLC, the parent company of The Medical Center of Aurora, in U.S. District Court in Colorado in April 2022, three years after she was fired in the wake of the death of a 93-year-old patient who was experiencing organ failure and septic shock when he was admitted to the intensive care unit, attached to a ventilator.
The unconscious man’s family soon agreed to turn off his ventilator, and Joppy was initially charged with palliative care — making his death as comfortable and painless as possible, according to the lawsuit, obtained by Atlanta Black Star.

(Photo: Robinson & Associates)Then she says she followed the instructions of a respiratory therapist delivered via phone to withdraw the patient from the ventilator, and stayed in the hospital room comforting the family as he passed away, showing no signs of distress.
While a medical examiner found the man died of natural causes, the hospital determined that Joppy had “acted outside the scope of her practice as a nurse and outside the standard of practice for ICU end-of-life care” by turning off his ventilator, possibly causing him to suffocate and suffer for 13 minutes. Protocol dictated that she wait for the respiratory therapist to turn off the ventilator, they said, and denied he had directed her to do so.
Lawsuit Reveals Pennsylvania Teacher’s Disturbing Punishment of Black Teen Who Fell Asleep in Class
Hospital officials fired Joppy in June 2019 and then reported her actions to the state health department, alleging criminal neglect.
The Colorado Attorney General’s Office filed charges of manslaughter and negligent death of an at-risk person, both felonies, against Joppy in November 2020, but dropped the case in September 2021 “in the interest of justice.”
Joppy alleged that the hospital knew the patient was unconscious, unresponsive, and “never had the drive to breathe” at any time he was in the ICU, and that she had not harmed him. She argued that officials at The Medical Center of Aurora (TMAC) purposely mischaracterized her role in his death as a pretext to terminate her in retaliation for complaints she had made earlier about mistreatment based on racial discrimination by hospital staff.
The hospital then maliciously tried to have her professional nursing license revoked and to end her career, the lawsuit claimed.
In her complaint, Joppy, who was hired in June 2017 to work as a registered nurse in the TMAC ICU, said that she was “subject to verbal and nonverbal slights and microaggressions designed to marginalize, segregate, and undermine her based on stereotypical and harmful views of Black professionals.”
Despite a favorable performance review in 2018 and positive reviews from patients, Joppy said the mostly non-Black management in the ICU treated her poorly, including charge nurses who would openly yell at her, criticize her, and undermine her in a humiliating and demeaning manner. This did not happen to non-Black nurses, she claimed.
Charge Nurse Lindsay Jordan was particularly abusive towards Joppy and would constantly criticize her work and scream at her, she said.
Other staff relied on negative stereotypes about Black employees’ abilities in making employment decisions, she argued, citing her experience with Charge Nurse Michael Oleszczuk, who she says denied her the opportunity to participate in a training for patients with heart problems offered to other nurses.
Oleszczuk dismissively explained that heart patients require “much deeper critical thinking and much better organizational skills” than she had, she alleged.
Oleszczuk continued to treat Joppy in a demeaning and demoralizing way, she claimed, and in early March 2019 told her that since she was good at cleaning, she should “clean his house and clip his dog’s toe nails.”
Joppy complained to her supervisor about Oleszczuk but got no response, the lawsuit said.
On another occasion, a white patient’s family accused Joppy of going into a patient’s purse, stealing a credit card and buying a stethoscope. Rather than conduct an investigation, the complaint said the hospital’s human resources department decided to restrict Joppy to working in only one section of the ICU, and did not allow her to go into the locker room or main break room with other employees. Then they thanked her for not making a “big fuss” over it, the complaint alleged.
Joppy also contended that she was tasked with caring for up to three critically ill patients at a time, with no backup, while other ICU nurses, who worked as a team, were asked to care for only two patients each.
Joppy complained to her supervisor that she didn’t feel safe with that workload, and also felt isolated and occupationally segregated, and thought she was being treated differently than her non-Black co-workers, the lawsuit said. Her supervisor “indicated he would take care of the situation, but nothing was ever done,” she claimed.
In March 2019, “in order to escape the abusive and discriminatory treatment” in the ICU, Joppy applied for a transfer to the RN Critical Care Float Pool, a position with higher pay.
The day she was scheduled for an interview, she learned that it had been cancelled because she now had a Performance Improvement Plan in place and was therefore ineligible for a transfer. Joppy said the PIP was shocking news to her, and she sought an explanation from her supervisors.
She learned a few days later that her 60-day improvement plan required her to “use proper body language and tone” and “remain respectful towards the charge nurses and other employees within the hospital.” The plan also called for her to acquire “no further patient or family complaints” (which Joppy called an unattainable goal) and reprimanded her for “listening to music and dancing on the night of March 18th.”
The improvement plan was retaliatory and primarily based on unsubstantiated accusations against Joppy from the charge nurses that she had previously complained about, the lawsuit alleged. It also reflected “racially biased, stereotypical and harmful views of Black professionals,” she contended.
“The PIP was a sham,” the lawsuit said, as it called for weekly progress meetings with hospital management that never occurred during the 60-day period, which ended around the time of the elderly patient’s death on May 24, 2019.
The investigation into Joppy’s actions during the patient’s end-of-life care was initiated by Jordan, “one of the nurses who previously showed open animosity and hatred” towards Joppy and who had previously treated her more harshly than non-Black nurses, the lawsuit claimed, noting that Joppy had previously reported to two supervisors that she felt harassed and bullied by Jordan.
The lawsuit accused HCA-HealthOne and five hospital staff members of racial discrimination and the health care system of retaliation and malicious prosecution in violation of federal civil rights law.
In its answer in January 2024, HCA-HealthOne denied that it or its nurses “undertook any malicious conduct, fostered a racially hostile work environment, or engaged in discriminatory and/or retaliatory practices” against Joppy.
The defendants said that Joppy was terminated “for her failure to follow policies and protocols designed to provide patients with dignity, safety, and comfort during end-of-life care, and for practicing outside the scope of her practice.”
They denied that the hospital or its employees “had any authority to or actually did take any steps designed to end Plaintiff’s nursing career, or to cause criminal charges to be brought against her. Rather, Defendants’ interactions with the state arose from the Hospital’s independent statutory obligation to report to the state any concerning patient-related situations, such as this patient’s end-of-life care.”
The defendants further asserted that they “were not aware that the Hospital’s statutorily-required report to the state would give rise to the AG exercising its independent prosecutorial discretion to file criminal charges against Plaintiff. Defendants did not, and do not, support the criminal prosecution of caregivers for mistakes made in the course of their care.”
The answer noted that Joppy “had all the technical requirements for her position” and “on many occasions Plaintiff performed her duties in a satisfactory manner and received positive feedback” but argued that she “also had notable performance deficiencies and received negative feedback from patients and co-workers … culminating in her actions and decisions on May 24, 2019,” which “caused TMCA to conclude she was not qualified for her position.”
Last October, U.S. District Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney dismissed the lawsuit’s malicious prosecution claims, but allowed the discrimination and retaliation claims to proceed.
Joppy sought a jury trial to determine economic, compensatory and punitive damages to make up for lost wages and benefits, irreparable harm to her reputation and career, emotional distress, and mental anguish.
After a seven-day trial that concluded on Aug. 19, the jurors affirmed on their verdict form that Joppy had proven that the hospital terminated her in retaliation for her complaints about race discrimination, and awarded her $20 million — $5 million in compensatory damages and $15 million in punitive damages. Judge Sweeney approved the verdict the next day.
“This verdict represents a measure of justice after years of discrimination, retaliation, and false accusations,” her attorney Jennifer Robinson said in an emailed statement to Atlanta Black Star. “While no legal outcome can erase what she endured, Ms. Joppy hopes that this result will encourage hospitals and healthcare systems to take the concerns of frontline nurses seriously and to ensure that all employees are treated with dignity and fairness and their workplaces are free from racial discrimination.”
In her statement, Joppy said, “For six long years, I fought to defend my integrity as a nurse,” noting that she received “partial vindication” when a state court judge dismissed manslaughter charges against her. “But the full truth could only be restored when the hospital was held accountable for the false accusations, racial discrimination, retaliation, and bullying I endured. This verdict is that final piece, and I hope it brings change so that no other nurse has to go through what I went through.”
“We strongly disagree with the outcome of this trial and will appeal,” a spokesperson for HCA-HealthOne said in an emailed statement to Atlanta Black Star. “Ms. Joppy chose to turn off the ventilator on a living patient, which was outside the scope of her nursing license and not the standard of care for end-of-life patients. As a result, the patient event was reported to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) as required by law.”
“Ms. Joppy’s employment was terminated because of the actions she took, and those actions alone,” the statement continued. “We have the utmost respect for our patients and their family’s end-of-life decisions, and we honor those decisions to ensure the care, comfort, safety and dignity of our patients. Our hospital will continue working hard to foster an environment that treats our colleagues and patients with dignity and respect.”
Robinson further said that Joppy is “focused on healing and moving forward. She was deeply traumatized by the hospital’s treatment and is working to recover from the lasting impact and the hospital’s continued refusal to accept responsibility for its egregious conduct in spite of the jury’s verdict.”
Joppy told the Denver Post that she has had unstable housing since the hospital fired her, and had to live separately from her 15-year-old daughter because she no longer had the income to provide for her.
“I’m looking forward to my daughter and me healing together and having a home to call our own,” she said.
‘They Have Proof You Dumb—’: CBS Pulls the Plug On ICE Barbie Kristi Noem’s Sloppy Interview Filled with False MAGA Talking Points
Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem went on a rant about CBS News on Sunday, accusing the network of an attempt to “whitewash” what Noem calls “the truth” about Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The Trump administration has called Abrego Garcia a MS-13 gang member and deported him to a notorious prison in El Salvador earlier this year. The Central American immigrant was brought back to the U.S. in June and charged with human smuggling.
Kristi Noem on CBS’s “Face the Nation” (Credit: CBS)Noem went on “Face the Nation” to discuss the deportation controversy then blasted CBS for “shamefully” cutting her answer to a question about him and her explanations on why he’s a threat to “American public safety.”
The DHS secretary took to social media after the interview, sharing a video of the 26 seconds that was cut where she called Abrego Garcia a “perverted” gang member and a “wifebeater.” She also accused the immigrant of requesting child porn from other inmates.
Well, yeah. They cut out the unproven, defamatory stuff so they wouldn't get sued. You can't just call someone MS-13, a pervert, and a human trafficker without any proof. https://t.co/wvLynhd8xD
— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) August 31, 2025“This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” Noem wrote. “Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.”
In the post on X, Noem showed video of the CBS interview and a clip of her unedited response. She told CBS she did not want to see Abrego Garcia “walk free” in the U.S. again then listed his alleged criminal past, which CBS did not include in the interview because of the potential legal ramifications of broadcasting falsehoods and allegations.
“This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife-beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children,” Noem said in the part that was edited out.
CBS News issued a statement saying it edited the interview to fit the time slot on “Face the Nation,” but that the full interview was published on its website.
“Secretary Noem’s ‘Face The Nation’ interview was edited for time and met all CBS News standards,” a spokesperson for CBS News said in a statement to The Hill. “The entire interview is publicly available on YouTube, and the full transcript was posted early Sunday morning at CBSNews.com.”
“So, he needs to never be in the United States of America,” Noem said in the full clip. “And our administration is making sure we’re doing all that we can to bring him to justice.”
Social media responses fell along predictable lines with the MAGA world dissing the network and opponents calling out Noem and the Trump administration’s “lies” about Abrego Garcia
“Well, yeah. They cut out the unproven, defamatory stuff so they wouldn’t get sued. You can’t just call someone MS-13, a pervert, and a human trafficker without any proof,” MediasTouch wrote on X.
“Awful: Kristi Noem just accused CBS of editing out her comments on Abrego Garcia. But the ‘suppressed’ quotes were mostly lies!” New Republic staff writer Greg Sargent added.
CBS is under zero obligation to air lies/unsubstantiated charges from Trump officials. Also note that when Trump extorted CBS for $16 million, he used *precisely this same tactic,* i.e. bogus claims of deceptive editing.
Settlement only encouraged them.https://t.co/crJJXR6No7 pic.twitter.com/jR21qmRt2a
Sargent then added, “CBS is under zero obligation to air lies/unsubstantiated charges from Trump officials. Also note that when Trump extorted CBS for $16 million, he used *precisely this same tactic,* i.e. bogus claims of deceptive editing. Settlement only encouraged them.”
Sargent referring there to the $16 million settlement the network agreed to after President Donald Trump sued over edits made to an interview with then presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2024
MAGA didn’t go easy on CBS and were not buying the network’s explanation. “Shame on CBS. I can’t believe they still get away with this kind of thing. For those that don’t know, they were shamed into airing the full interview, after editing out the list of allegations against Garcia,” added one user under the full video on CBS’s Youtube page.
Another added, “So you blatantly edit the interview. Get caught and then put this full 1 on youtube. You need to be sued into the Ground. Corporate Media is a joke.”
In 2019 an immigration judge ruled Abrego Garcia could not be deported to El Salvador because of threats from local gangs. But in March the Trump administration flew the migrant, along with hundreds of other alleged gang members, to a prison in the Central American country.
Abrego Garcia has denied he is a gang member, but Noem is threatening to deport him to Uganda if he doesn’t admit to being a human smuggler. He denies this charge as well, and his lawyers are working on an asylum claim for him.
‘Stop Playing with Her’: Cardi B Walks Free from $24M Lawsuit After Going Off on Reporter Who Tried to Push Her Buttons
Cardi B was left steaming after a man with the paparazzi asked her a triggering question about her estranged husband, Offset while awaiting a life-changing verdict.
An inquisitive reporter tried to pry it out of her on Tuesday, Sept. 2, as she was leaving a Los Angeles courthouse following closing arguments in her civil trial, but, according to a video clip shared by TMZ, the mama bear was not having it.
Cardi B throws a pen at a journalist asking her about her alleged fourth pregnancy. (Photo: Iamcardib/Instagram)Dressed in a black polka dot blazer suit, the “Press” rapper walked out of the courthouse with members of her team and was met with a gaggle of people eager to ask her questions. Cardi was on trial for allegedly having a physical altercation with a former security guard, Emani Ellis, outside of an OBGYN office in 2018.
Upon leaving the courthouse during the lunch break, one person among the throng of questioners asked, “Cardi insiders are claiming that Offset is publicly bragging about getting you pregnant for the fourth time. Do you foresee any paternity issues with Stefon Diggs?”
She and Offset separated last year, and Cardi is currently dating NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs since. After giving birth to her and Offset’s third child together in September 2024, fans are convinced that she is pregnant for a fourth time.
After being helped down the courthouse stairs, Cardi walked over to a person holding a pen, grabbed it and threw it at the questioner.
Cardi pointed at the unidentified person and said, “Stop disrespecting me.”
That individual continued to probe the Bronx native.
“I still love you even though you just threw some stuff at me,” he said.

The “Hustlers” star lashed out once again at the man. She said, “I don’t care. You’re disrespectful. Don’t do that. Do you see women asking those type of questions to me? You see women asking those questions to me?”
The man responded. “No ma’am,” before adding “It’s a legit question.”
Cardi, who was too heated to pause and hear what the man said, continued scolding him and pointing at him. She said, “Why do you feel as a man you get to ask me those type of questions? Act like you have some manners and your mama taught you to respect women.”
Before the video ended, she turned and proceeded to get in her vehicle.
One fan under TMZ’s video said, “She is definitely baking something in the oven.” Another said, “Stop playing with her she ain’t the one.”
Someone else commented about her behavior and said, “Being in court for … then caught on camera outside for another is crazy!”
Later that afternoon, Cardi B returned to the courtroom for the verdict, where the plaintiff’s lawyer argued that her explosive behavior toward the press, including throwing objects, should sway the judge’s verdict.
He added that his clients were in fear of her retaliation and demanded that she be “admonished” for staring at the plaintiff in court. But the judge refused to admonish her for an outburst or “conduct that the court didn’t witness.”
But Cardi was ultimately cleared of all charges against her, which included battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and false imprisonment.
She was involved in another lawsuit regarding a 2023 incident, where Cardi B threw her microphone into the crowd during a performance at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas after a concertgoer threw a drink at her. An Ohio woman subsequently filed a lawsuit for similar charges, but Cardi B was not charged in connection with the incident, and the outcome of the lawsuit has not been publicly disclosed.
Speculation about Cardi’s newest alleged pregnancy began after a summer to Disney with her kids. In July, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper and her children: Kulture, 7, Wave, 3, and then 10-month-old Blossom went to the theme park to celebrate Kulture’s birthday.
In the clips and photos, Cardi swapped her usual curve-hugging looks for an oversized red shirt and sneakers, a surprising choice for someone known for sex appeal. In one shot, she held Blossom while her other two kids posed nearby, her small belly visible beneath the shirt.

In August, she shared a video wearing a black bodysuit, heels, and a fur coat while rapping her new song “Imaginary Playerz,” strutting the hallway like a runway with her stomach partly hidden in some angles.
Though the “Up” rapper has yet to confirm the rumors, the rounded belly she attempts to keep hidden under her oversized clothes has added more fuel to the gossip.
@iamcardibImaginary Playerz…
♬ Imaginary Playerz – Cardi BOne day before Cardi shared her pregnancy with Blossom last summer, she filed for divorce for a second time from the former Migos rapper.
She and Offset broke up twice before in 2018 and in 2020 — which resulted in her filing for divorce the first time. Throughout their on-again, off-again marriage, there have been constant rumors that Offset cheated on Cardi, which she seemingly confirmed during one of her rants while on Twitter Spaces.
This past May, TMZ reported that Offset filed an amended response to their divorce and is requesting an unspecified amount in spousal support. The documents say he still wants joint custody of their three kids but wants Cardi’s home to be listed as the primary residence.

The line, “Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DM,” seemed aimed at Cardi’s new boyfriend, Diggs, now with the New England Patriots. First spotted together in October 2024, they went public courtside at a Knicks vs. Celtics game in May 2025.
