A Singapore judge threw 26-year-old Johnson Wen behind bars for rushing Ariana Grande in a social media stunt while she was promoting her new “Wicked” movie. Her co-star Cynthia Erivo heroically rushed to her aid, as Grande looked terrified watching Wen approach her and put his arm around her. This is a woman who knows all too well what terror looks and feels like after her concert was bombed in 2017, killing 22 people. Does Wen’s punishment fit his crime, and is it enough to deter him from doing it again? This was not his first stunt and many believe this will just lead to more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a mean spirited, social media post, actress and openly gay Ruby Rose points the finger directly at Sydney Sweeney for “ruining” Sweeney’s latest movie “Christy," a biopic about one of the most prominent figures in the history of boxing, Christy Martin. Martin was a closeted lesbian who survived a murder attempt by her husband, but went on to be inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Rose said Sweeney “paraded around pretending to be us” insinuating because Sweeney is a Republican and straight, she had no right to play the role of Christy, calling her a “cretin” who ruined the film. The critics and Christy Martin herself say otherwise. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats from the House Oversight Committee have just released three of the most damning emails to date surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein saga. They include private emails from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell and journalist Michael Wolff. In them, Epstein not only writes that President Trump “knew about the girls," but also muses why Trump hasn’t “barked” yet. Epstein also conspires with Wolff in an email just before a presidential debate in 2015 about how to leverage what Trump knows, to secure “valuable PR and political currency. The White House has responded, but these emails will require a lot more explanation than a brief statement from Karoline Leavitt. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Vail School District in Arizona has been forced to add extra security to protect teachers and students at Cienega High School after they posted a picture to their Facebook page showing a math teachers’ group Halloween costume. It was meant as a math joke, t-shirts that looked like they had blood stains on them with the words “Problem Solved” on the front, but it was interpreted by Charlie Kirk’s own organization, Turning Point USA, as mocking their late founder’s assassination. Even after the district posted an explanation and photographic proof that the teachers had worn the same costume the year before, some conservative activists and prominent national leaders doubled down, posting the teachers’ names, phone numbers and demanding they be fired. The school has had more than 3-thousand hateful messages, including death threats, with the school superintendent asking for better understanding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
