Jaime Pressly Booted From California Hotel Following Alleged Disturbance: Report

/

Jaime Pressly was reportedly removed from a California hotel Thursday following complaints about an alleged disturbance.

The report said the actress exhibited erratic behavior, swore, drank alcohol, and put her hands on another guest before ultimately leaving the property, as reported by Page Six.

According to TMZ, the incident unfolded at the Signia by Hilton San Jose days before Pressly was scheduled to appear at “GalaxyCon.”

Hotel guests complained that the “My Name Is Earl” star was speaking loudly on her phone, using profanity and drinking alcohol.

Witnesses claimed Pressly appeared to be under the influence while continuing her phone conversation.

Security guards approached her multiple times, according to the report, but the initial encounters did not immediately end the call or result in her departure.

The outlet reported that Pressly initially ignored two security guards who approached her during the conversation.

She continued the 30-minute call and held up a finger, which witnesses said indicated that she was not yet finished.

Witnesses also reported hearing parts of what Pressly said during that call. At one point, according to their account, she said, “Mommy loves you,” while the conversation continued.

Another remark heard by witnesses concerned a former husband and their children. Pressly reportedly said, “You are the best husband I have ever divorced, and you are good to our kids.”

Pressly was previously married to entertainment lawyer Simran Singh, with whom she shares twin boys. She also has another son from a previous relationship.

After ending the call, Pressly allegedly approached a woman who was attending a wedding at the hotel.

According to the report, the actress touched the woman’s arm and began complaining about the security guards.

The reported interaction with the wedding guest did not bring the episode to an end.

Pressly reportedly received another phone call after speaking with the woman, as hotel security continued to monitor the situation.

A security guard eventually stepped in and told Pressly, “We’re done.” At that point, the “Not Another Teen Movie” actress left the hotel lobby and went outside.

Pressly remained outside for around ten minutes to smoke, according to the witnesses cited by TMZ. Her departure from the lobby was temporary, however, because she later returned to the hotel.

When Pressly came back inside, witnesses said she was walking hand in hand with a valet employee. The report did not provide any further information about the employee or the interaction between them.

Witnesses then saw Pressly return to the hotel bar for another drink. Security eventually escorted the actress away, bringing the reported disturbance at the Signia by Hilton San Jose to an end.

Despite the repeated involvement of hotel security, police did not respond to the scene. Page Six confirmed with the San Jose Police Department that authorities were not called during the incident.

Pressly ultimately canceled her scheduled GalaxyCon appearance. The cancellation followed the hotel episode, which reportedly occurred only days before she was expected to appear at the event.

A spokesperson for Signia by Hilton San Jose declined to provide details when contacted by Page Six. The spokesperson said, “Given our privacy obligations, we are unable to provide any information.”

Pressly, who launched an OnlyFans earlier this year, had not publicly responded to the report. Page Six contacted her representatives for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Doja Cat Candidly Confesses Past Struggles with Cocaine and Alcohol [WATCH]

Doja Cat opened up about deeply personal issues in a series of candid TikTok videos shared Monday.

The singer discussed her past experiences with cocaine and alcohol, along with mental illness, social media, and her struggle with self-hatred, as reported by Page Six.

The 30-year-old performer, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, said her experience with cocaine could have occurred around eight years ago. She made clear that the issue is now firmly in her past.

“But I’m well past that. Thank God,” Doja said as she reflected on that period. Her disclosure came as part of a broader discussion about the difficult combination of mental illness and online attention.

Doja said that “undiagnosed mental illness … paired with social media is an extreme issue that I think a lot of us don’t understand.”

She urged people to consider that combination when encountering negative material about themselves on the internet.

“I think that it’s important that we take that into account when we see things on the internet … about ourselves that are negative,” she explained.

The singer then continued the conversation in a second TikTok video focused on her past problems with alcohol.

According to Doja, the internet became a source of validation for negative thoughts that were connected to her drinking. She described how those elements interacted during her personal experience.

“The best example for my experience is using the internet as a means of validation to the negative thoughts in my head, which were then brought on by drinking alcohol,” she revealed.

Doja also distinguished her experience with alcohol from her history with other drugs. She said weed was an exception while acknowledging that alcohol had presented a definite problem for her.

“I’ve never had a real problem with drugs, except for weed, but alcohol is something that I definitely have had a problem with,” Doja added. At the same time, she clarified that she did not consider herself an alcoholic.

“I was never an alcoholic, but I definitely had problems. So if I can teach anybody anything, I will tell you that it’s not good to pair these two things together.”

In a third video, the biracial Grammy winner responded to allegations from fans who claimed she hated being a Black woman.

Doja said she believed that her feelings of self-hatred began when she was around 8 years old.

She connected that experience to moving into her predominantly white neighborhood at that age.

Doja ultimately said the TikTok discussion felt necessary because she needed to get those feelings off her chest and believed that day was the right time.

The revelations followed another personal disclosure from Doja in March, when she said she had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, also known as BPD.

At that time, she discussed learning from a young age to conceal her authentic reactions and emotions.

“I’ve learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I’m happy, to pretend that I don’t like stuff that I do, to appear like everything is okay,” she said in the March TikTok video.

Doja said the pattern eventually caught up with her as she faced her diagnosis.

“I’ll get it done. And it caught up with me, and I think it always does for people. I’m now struggling with BPD,” the “Agora Hills” singer added.

Despite describing BPD as an “agonizing condition,” Doja also told fans that she has been in therapy “for years now.”

Her latest videos extended that candid discussion by directly addressing cocaine, alcohol, online validation, and longstanding feelings about herself.

Kevin Sorbo Rejects California’s Taxes, Traffic and ‘Negativity’: ‘I’m Done’ [WATCH]

Kevin Sorbo Rejects California’s Taxes, Traffic and ‘Negativity’: ‘I’m Done’ [WATCH]

/

Kevin Sorbo has firmly shut the door on California, making it clear that a return to the state is not part of his plans, as reported by Page Six.

Nearly seven years after relocating from the Golden State to Florida, the “Hercules” star pointed to three factors behind his decision to stay away: “Taxes, traffic and negativity.”

During an interview with Fox News Digital, Sorbo discussed how life in Florida has offered him something he felt was becoming harder to find in California. That quality, he said, is “acceptance.”

The actor acknowledged that there are still parts of his former California life that he misses. Those include Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, his golf course, his old house and the state’s famously mild weather.

However, Sorbo said those attractions are not enough to outweigh the reasons he left. He contrasted California with Florida, where the weather brings its own challenges and rewards.

“I mean, here in Florida, yeah, we get five months of pretty high humidity. It’s pretty hot, but the winters here are really quite amazing,” Sorbo said.

“But yeah, there are things I miss, but they can keep their taxes, they can keep their traffic, and they can keep their negativity, I’m done.”

For Sorbo, leaving California involved more than simply changing his surroundings.

He said the independent film community has welcomed him, while filmmakers and creators from around the country have contacted him through his production company, Sorbo Studios.

“The people I’ve met here, the contacts I’ve met, it’s been incredible,” he said.

Sorbo also criticized the entertainment industry, saying he believes people have been punished for expressing certain political or religious positions. The actor has remained outspoken about both his faith and his politics.

He compared Hollywood’s treatment of conservatives and Christians to behavior more commonly associated with schoolchildren than a multimillion dollar industry.

Sorbo described the conduct in particularly blunt terms.

“That’s why I find a lot of things in Hollywood, with their blacklisting people that have conservative or Christian viewpoints, I find it like they’re seventh grade mean girls,” Sorbo told Fox News Digital.

“It’s just ridiculous and childish to me. We all have different opinions. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Sorbo has previously described himself as someone who has been “canceled” because of his views. Even so, he said that experience has not persuaded him to remain silent.

Instead, Sorbo called on other conservatives working in Hollywood to stop concealing their positions. He said some have stayed quiet after watching what happened to him.

“It’s the conservatives that are in the closet now because they saw me get canceled,” Sorbo said. “But I’m still working.”

His remarks came as his latest movie, “Elijah Peel,” arrived in theaters. The faith based drama is inspired by a true story, and Sorbo portrays the central musician’s longtime talent manager.

The movie follows a rock star whose rapid career and battle with addiction spiral after a near fatal heart attack. A young girl’s faith ultimately pushes him to confront the life he has been living.

Willie and Korie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” are executive producers on the project. Their involvement adds another prominent Christian entertainment connection to the film.

Sorbo believes projects such as “Elijah Peel” show that faith based filmmakers no longer require Hollywood’s approval. He said 80 million homes in America want the type of movies he has been fortunate to join, and he expects that audience to continue growing.

Outside his work, Sorbo said his marriage and family have remained his highest priorities through career changes, health scares and the difficulties of Hollywood life. He has spent nearly three decades married to his wife, Sam.

When asked about the foundation of their marriage, Sorbo answered with a joke. “Oh, that’s easy. I just say yes to her all the time. I just agree with everything she tells me.”

He also acknowledged that the couple does not always agree. “We have our disagreements, but we’ve always gone through those with no problem. And we’ve overcome those things.”

Sorbo emphasized that family continues to come first, noting the ages of his children. “My boys are now 24 and 22, my daughter’s 20.”

Sorbo and his wife are also outspoken supporters of homeschooling. Sam travels around the country to discuss what they see as the advantages of educating children outside the traditional public school system.

“We never experienced terrible teens with my kids. We just didn’t. They’re hardworking, they’re awesome, and they’re just good people,” Sorbo said.

Jelly Roll Weeps on Jimmy Kimmel While Preaching Open Borders After Calling Trump a “Fat Pig” [WATCH]

Jelly Roll Weeps on Jimmy Kimmel While Preaching Open Borders After Calling Trump a “Fat Pig” [WATCH]

/

Country music singer Jelly Roll broke down in tears Thursday during his final night guest hosting ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

His emotional remarks centered on immigration, compassion, Christianity, and what he described as human dignity.

The tearful performance came only days after Jelly Roll used Jimmy Kimmel’s anti-Trump platform to ridicule President Donald Trump’s weight.

He called Trump a “fat pig” and also made a vulgar joke about the president’s anatomy.

After insulting Trump throughout the week, Jelly Roll told angry fans that they were free to stop listening to his music.

He then closed his guest hosting run by embracing language about mercy and broken families that echoed rhetoric from open borders activists.

Jelly Roll recalled winning three Grammy Awards earlier this year and facing a question about immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis.

He declined to offer a political opinion at that time, but he now says that decision was a mistake.

While fighting back tears, the singer claimed that he had failed to speak on behalf of people who were supposedly “scared” and “hurting.”

His emotional reversal became the centerpiece of his final appearance behind Kimmel’s desk.

“Human dignity isn’t Republican or Democrat. Compassion isn’t left wing and mercy isn’t right wing… There are no boundaries or borders for broken families,” Jelly Roll declared while becoming visibly emotional on the national television program.

That declaration contrasted with his response six months earlier at the 2026 Grammys, when Jelly Roll refused to criticize ICE.

Other artists used the occasion to denounce immigration enforcement, but Jelly Roll chose not to join them.

At the time, he described himself as a “dumb redneck” who was “disconnected” from current events.

He also said that people should not care about his opinion, although he promised that he would eventually speak “loud and clear.”

WATCH:

This week, Jelly Roll finally delivered that promised statement, and his message was that compassion carries no borders.

The timing and setting made the speech difficult to portray as politically neutral, particularly after his attacks against Trump earlier in the week.

Jelly Roll is a convicted felon who has spoken openly about prison, drugs, and robbery charges from his youth.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee later pardoned him, while America gave him a second chance, a music career, Grammy Awards, and restored voting rights in March 2026.

The singer previously shook President Trump’s hand at a UFC event, although he later insisted that shaking someone’s hand does not amount to an endorsement.

That explanation did not make Thursday’s immigration message any less political.

Crying on national television while declaring that there should be “no boundaries or borders for broken families” is not “down the middle,” especially while filling in for one of television’s most partisan anti-Trump hosts.

It is the same sermon that the left has delivered for years.

Jelly Roll said that he wants to represent “those without representation,” including the recovering addict, the felon attempting to change, and the single mother.

Those people also exist across America, and many face the consequences when the border is treated as merely a suggestion.

Illegal immigration does not produce only “broken families” beyond the Rio Grande.

It also creates American victims, overwhelms towns, and affects children who never receive a second chance because a cartel or a repeat offender received one first.

Jelly Roll’s sudden transformation from Trump mocker to tearful messenger of borderless compassion capped his week on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The emotion was unmistakable, but so was the political direction of the sermon he chose to deliver.

Bill Maher Hilariously Levels Liberals Over Lake America Outrage [WATCH]

Bill Maher Hilariously Levels Liberals Over Lake America Outrage [WATCH]

/

Liberals are furious over President Donald Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, but their outrage is avoiding the larger dispute.

Rather than address the trade problems with Canada or what might resolve them, they are using the name change to attack Trump.

That reaction gave Bill Maher an opening on Friday during his HBO show “Real Time.”

With one cutting joke, Maher mocked the liberal response and turned its underlying logic against the people making the complaint.

“Trump is so mad at Canada, he renamed Lake Ontario ‘Lake America,'” Maher said. “Now I have to buy a new globe again!” he joked.

Maher then delivered the sharper punch line. “Liberals are very pissed at this. They say you can’t just go around renaming to suit your political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person.”

WATCH:

The audience loved the joke, and it landed because it highlighted the incoherent and inconsistent liberal beliefs.

Liberals are objecting to a politically motivated name change after spending years promoting their own preferred terminology.

The real question is which issue matters more.

Trump is using Lake America as a jab during trade negotiations with Canada, while liberals have renamed entire categories of people and promoted terms such as LatinX.

The same contradiction appears in the ongoing political dispute over defining what a woman is.

A Supreme Court Justice was cornered on that question during her nomination hearing and avoided saying anything that could conflict with the current political agenda narrative.

Now the Women’s National Basketball Association, also known as the WNBA, is facing chaos because it does not want to challenge that narrative.

The situation reflects the broader consequences of allowing political language to override plainly stated reality.

Immigration offers another example of this pattern.

For years, “illegal alien” was the legally understood term, but it was later treated as “mean” when the liberal political agenda shifted toward downplaying illegal immigration.

That change produced the phrase “undocumented person.”

Yet the objection is that such a person may possess documents while still not being in the country legally, making the newer phrase a misleading substitute for the legal reality.

Stating that someone is not in the country legally is neither evil nor mean.

Rejecting that fact has harmed America, while countless people have been hurt by the way Democrats have handled the wider immigration issue.

The pattern is consistent because liberals use whichever language they believe will advance their political agenda.

Their terminology changes when the political objective changes, even when the replacement language obscures what is actually happening.

That strategy is also visible in current campaigns, where Democrats say, “we’re a big tent,” rather than admitting, “we’re hoping by embracing our radical leftists, we’ll get more people out to vote for us.”

WATCH:

The approach may ultimately hurt them if Americans reject the party because of its extreme positions.

Maher’s joke was therefore more than a quick laugh about buying another globe.

It exposed the contradiction of liberals condemning Trump for politically convenient renaming while repeatedly using politically convenient labels of their own.

That is why his Lake America punch line worked so well with the audience.

Maher used liberal language rules against liberals themselves, making their outrage the target and delivering a fitting response to the controversy.

Garth Brooks’ Daughter Slammed Over Dolly Parton Tribute: ‘An Utterly Ridiculous Comment to Make’

Garth Brooks’ Daughter Slammed Over Dolly Parton Tribute: ‘An Utterly Ridiculous Comment to Make’

/

Garth Brooks’ daughter Allie Colleen is facing criticism over the tribute she shared after country music legend Dolly Parton’s death.

Several social media users objected to how the singer and songwriter connected the loss to her own fear of someday losing her famous father, as reported by Page Six.

Colleen, 30, posted the lengthy message on Instagram Tuesday. While mourning Parton, she opened up about the prospect of the world grieving Brooks without knowing him as personally as she does.

“My greatest fear in life is the day my Dad loses his life, and I have to see the world mourn a man they never knew the way I knew him,” Colleen began.

She then directed her condolences toward those who were closest to Parton. “To the personal family and friends of Mrs. Dolly, you have all my love and condolences today and forever going forward,” she continued.

“What a huge, beautiful, special life to have loved and to grieve. Thank you for sharing her with us all.”

Colleen also described mourning as a “beautiful privilege,” explaining that “to grieve is to know you loved deeply and fully.” She ended the tribute by expressing love for Parton and those grieving for her while asking fans to “respect the family and her personal friends.”

A post shared by Allie Colleen (@alliecolleenmusic)

The message quickly drew objections from people who believed Colleen had placed too much emphasis on her relationship with her 64-year-old father.

Critics argued that the tribute should have remained focused on Parton and her loved ones.

“This is the weirdest condolence post I have ever seen. It’s giving how can I make something not about myself, about me. This is nepo baby at its worst.”

Another commenter was similarly blunt, writing, “An utterly ridiculous comment to make. This is not about you or your father.”

A third person suggested Colleen should have sought feedback before publishing the post.

“Allie, just a note. Next time, let someone read your work before you publish it. I know what you meant; however, now was not the time to say it,” the commenter wrote.

Other people questioned what they saw as Colleen’s suggestion that fans could not understand the grief experienced by a celebrity’s family and friends.

One person attempted to reassure her that others may have endured similar pain.

“We will mourn the loss, never in the way you will. Just know that all of us may have gone through that before, and we will understand your pain,” that person commented.

Colleen disagreed with the comparison, replying, “I don’t think you will.. I would never relate to you losing your father – I don’t know how you would relate to mine. Kind of exactly what I am talking about ”

Another follower pushed back on that response. “That’s kinda insinuating like none of us have loved our dads as much as you love yours? Loss is loss. Everyone who has experienced it can relate,” the person wrote.

Colleen then clarified that she was not trying to minimize anyone else’s experience with loss. “I would never act like I understand how much you grieve anyone – that’s all I am saying.”

“I would never act like I understand how you feel the day you lose your person, so I would expect the same respect that you don’t know how I feel the day I lose mine,” she added.

Despite the backlash, Colleen received support from Mackenzie Lynn Adkins, the daughter of country singer Trace Adkins. Mackenzie said the fear Colleen described was both frightening and real for her and her sisters.

“I’m more of an avoidant when it comes to fears like this. But that is very, very scary and real for my sisters and I. Thank you for explaining it better than I could,” Mackenzie commented.

Colleen responded warmly, writing, “I know you understand, babe should the day come— we’ll get through it.”

Parton died Tuesday at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer, leaving behind a $450 million estate. The family of the “Jolene” singer announced her death as tributes arrived from fans and fellow celebrities.

Colleen is the youngest of Brooks’ three daughters with his ex-wife, Sandy Mahl. The former couple also shares daughters Taylor and August.

Following her famous father into country music, Colleen pursued her own recording career. She released her debut album, “Stones,” in 2021.

‘Old Farts and Little Sh*ts’: Bill Maher Goes Off on Democrats’ ‘Big Tent’ [WATCH]

‘Old Farts and Little Sh*ts’: Bill Maher Goes Off on Democrats’ ‘Big Tent’ [WATCH]

Bill Maher criticized the influence of provocative political voices on both the left and right, arguing that a culture built around generating outrage has increasingly replaced substantive political debate.

Maher said the phenomenon is commonly associated with being an “edgelord,” but he offered a considerably less flattering description of the behavior.

“They call it being an edgelord. Normal people call it being an asshole, and sadly, the fact that so many people can’t tell the difference is not even a new phenomenon,” Maher said.

Drawing on his former show “Politically Incorrect,” Maher distinguished what he considers genuine political irreverence from deliberately saying outrageous things simply to provoke a response.

“It means radical honesty. What it doesn’t mean is just saying the unsayable to get a reaction,” Maher said.

He recalled that the behavior became prevalent enough that his former program created a segment designed to distinguish provocative political commentary from statements that were merely foolish.

“But so many people started doing that back then, we actually had to have a contest called Politically Incorrect or Just Stupid. Today, I don’t think Politically Incorrect would even stand a chance. It’s all just stupid,” Maher said.

Maher criticized provocative rhetoric on the political right before turning his attention to progressive activists and a series of positions associated with the left.

“And on the left: just abolish anything that isn’t working perfectly: police, prisons, borders, shoplifting laws, the Senate, the Supreme Court, huh, globalize the intifada, tampons in the boys room,” Maher said.

Maher argued that such positions are not primarily originating with longtime Democratic politicians.

Instead, he blamed younger political staffers immersed in online progressive politics for pushing the party toward positions that can alienate ordinary voters.

“You know, someone is coming up with this crazy, and it’s not Dick Durbin, age 80. It’s the staffers, the perpetually online, fatwa-curious Social Justice Suicide Squad,” Maher said.

He then offered Democrats a warning about where he believes their political problems originate.

“Hey, memo to Democrats: The call is coming from inside the tent,” Maher said.

Maher used former President Joe Biden’s administration as an example.

He argued that Biden presented himself during the 2020 campaign as a candidate who would restore normalcy but presided over an administration heavily influenced by progressive priorities.

“Democrats never really reckoned with, why didn’t Joe Biden actually give us the return to normal he promised? Biden ran in 2020 as a single-issue candidate: eliminating malarkey,” Maher said.

He contrasted Biden’s personal political image with the policies and priorities pursued by members of his administration.

“He wasn’t obsessing about intersectional queer theory. When Joe heard the word trans, he thought Pontiac,” Maher said.

Maher specifically criticized the Biden administration’s focus on gender identity, attributing that emphasis to younger officials and staffers surrounding the former president.

“But his administration, that is the kids he was too feeble to fight with, they made gender identity the federal government’s day-one top concern,” Maher said.

He then pointed to former Vice President Kamala Harris and the issue of taxpayer-funded sex-change procedures for prisoners as an example of what he viewed as the political influence of those staffers.

“They’re the ones who told Kamala Harris that the answer to Do you support tax-funded sex changes for people in prison? was Fuck, yeah, instead of You’re fucking kidding,” Maher said.

Maher argued that the same political culture he condemns on the right has gained significant influence within Democratic politics.

“Those are the Democrats’ edgelords. And like the ones on the right, they’re low-key running the country now,” Maher said.

His criticism ultimately extended beyond the familiar argument that America’s political leadership simply needs a younger generation of elected officials.

Maher said replacing older politicians with younger ones would not necessarily address the underlying problem if the incoming generation embraces the same provocative political culture.

“So, yes, by all means, let’s elect some younger politicians. But maybe the problem isn’t just the old farts. Maybe it’s also the new little sh*ts.”

‘Kweeeen’ Royce White Arrives at Indiana Fever Game in Blonde Wig Amid WNBA Draft Push [WATCH]

Former NBA player and men’s college basketball star Royce White carried his WNBA Draft campaign into Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday night, arriving in a long blonde wig for the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun.

His appearance came more than a week after he announced plans to pursue a place in the 2027 WNBA Draft.

Photos and video obtained by OutKick showed White inside the arena as the Fever prepared to face Connecticut.

The former first-round NBA pick wore the wig while meeting fans around the venue.

White received a friendly welcome from people in attendance.

Multiple fans stopped to shake his hand and pose for pictures with him before the game.

The appearance followed a separate incident involving former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom, who was thrown out of a game on Sunday night.

Freedom’s ejection drew national attention, and he was later banned from future Chicago Sky games.

WATCH:

Both White and Freedom have declared for the next WNBA Draft as males. White announced his intention earlier this month and used Friday’s Fever game as another public step in that campaign.

Asked by OutKick why he had come to the arena, White said, “All hail Queen Roysha, the queen has arrived, it’s great to be here… I’m here because Black trans lesbians matter, and we’ve always mattered, we’ve always existed… I’m here to participate and scout some of the competition maybe as well.”

WATCH:

OutKick also asked whether fans might see some “fireworks” involving White following Freedom’s ejection and subsequent ban. White said he had come to watch the game and support the league and the Fever.

“I’m just here to spectate. I’m just here to support the WNBA and support the Fever.”

White appeared unconcerned when asked what kind of reception he expected from Fever fans.

He responded by dismissing the importance of any reaction to his appearance.

“Who cares? It’s life, you get one life to live.”

Before arriving at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, White had previewed the blonde wig look on social media. His arena appearance then brought the campaign directly to a WNBA game.

White formally declared for the draft through a letter sent to the WNBA league office by his attorney, former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz.

The declaration said White identified as a transgender woman and claimed he was eligible under the league’s new collective bargaining agreement.

The agreement states that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.”

However, the agreement does not give a more specific definition based on biological sex or gender identity.

White has said his declaration is designed to pressure the WNBA into explicitly stating whether biological males can compete in the league.

He previously explained his position during an interview with OutKick.

“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I’ll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well,” White said.

White has also threatened to pursue a discrimination lawsuit if he is not permitted to compete.

His legal team has maintained that it has not received a formal determination from the WNBA about his eligibility.

Multiple outlets reported during the week that neither White nor Freedom would be eligible for the draft.

A league source described their declarations as “publicity stunts,” but White’s legal representatives said the WNBA had not directly delivered a formal ruling to them.

Gaetz responded publicly by warning the league to retain relevant material.

“The WNBA should preserve all records in anticipation of litigation,” he wrote on social media.

White entered the NBA when the Houston Rockets selected him with the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft after he starred at Iowa State.

His NBA career consisted of three appearances, all for the Sacramento Kings in 2014.

Tim McGraw Takes Hard Onstage Tumble at Cincinnati Concert After Arriving 40 Minutes Late [WATCH]

Tim McGraw took a hard fall in the middle of his Cincinnati concert Thursday night, adding another rocky moment to a show that had already started late.

The country icon arrived nearly 45 minutes behind schedule before eventually taking the stage at Riverbend Music Center.

The 59 year old singer was performing “I Like It, I Love It” when his cowboy boot became caught on the flooring.

McGraw lost his balance, tumbled backward and landed on his backside midway through the show.

Despite the dramatic spill, McGraw quickly got himself back on his feet and continued singing.

He was still holding his microphone when he stood up, and he flashed a smile after recovering from the fall.

McGraw addressed the mishap Friday by posting footage from the concert on Instagram. “Cincinnati, you started our weekend off on the right foot even if I couldn’t stay on mine,” he quipped in the caption.

The singer also thanked the audience for attending and joining him throughout the performance.

“We appreciate you coming out and singing along! Detroit, you’re up!”

McGraw did not immediately reveal the fall when followers began moving through his Instagram post.

He first shared four photographs from the Cincinnati concert, saving the footage of his tumble for the fifth slide.

The fifth slide opened with a fitting voiceover that called attention to the awkward position in which he found himself.

“Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.”

The video then showed McGraw losing his footing and falling backward as he performed.

His arms flailed while he tried to regain his balance, but he ultimately landed on his backside before quickly popping back up.

The fall followed a difficult beginning to the evening, as the concert did not start when expected.

McGraw appeared onstage at approximately 9:40 p.m., roughly 40 minutes after the scheduled start, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

When McGraw finally walked onto the stage, he immediately acknowledged that he had made it to the venue.

“I made it!” he told the waiting Cincinnati crowd after his delayed arrival.

The “Live Like You Were Dying” singer also apologized to those in attendance for the late start.

He explained that travel and weather issues were responsible for the delay before moving ahead with the concert.

WATCH:

Thursday night was not the first time McGraw had fallen during a live performance.

He previously collapsed from dehydration while appearing at the Country to Country festival in Dublin, Ireland, in March 2018.

McGraw responded to that earlier incident with another joke on social media.

At the time, he posted a photograph showing himself wearing scuba gear at the bottom of the ocean and simply captioned the image, “Hydrating.”

During the Cincinnati show, McGraw did not deliver a tribute to the late Dolly Parton.

However, he had honored the country legend through a social media post earlier in the week, writing about her influence as both a person and an entertainer.

“She was an icon and showed us all what was possible, not only as a human but as an entertainer,” McGraw wrote on Instagram.

His message described Parton as an example for the performers who followed her.

“She was the blueprint, head and shoulders above anyone that came before her and all those of us that have come after.”

McGraw continued his tribute by praising the kindness, grace, humor and smile that Parton displayed.

“Everything she did, she did it with kindness, grace and that famous wit and smile. It’s been hard to not be in tears all day. There will never be another Dolly Parton,” he added.

Although McGraw did not mention Parton during his Cincinnati appearance, his earlier Instagram tribute made his feelings clear.

Meanwhile, his latest social media post allowed him to laugh at his own rough landing while thanking the Cincinnati audience and turning his attention toward Detroit.

In the fast-moving arena of celebrity culture and online discourse, few moments capture the tension between public statements and private lifestyles quite like the recent exchange involving pop star Billie Eilish, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and the AI known as Grok.

On August 27, 2026, Eilish posted a behind-the-scenes video promoting her newest fragrance, Eilish Intense, available through her official store.

The sleek promotional clip featured the singer posing with a radiant gold bottle of the amber gourmand scent, an intensified version of her earlier perfume line that retails for around $88 for the 3.4-ounce bottle.

Within hours, the post drew millions of views and a pointed reply from Musk.

Musk’s message was direct: “@grok please roast Eilish’s hypocrisy in hating on capitalism and ‘stolen land’ while selling perfume and living in luxury on that same land.”

The request referenced two strands of Eilish’s public commentary that critics have long seized upon.

First, her repeated criticisms of extreme wealth and capitalism.

WATCH:

In late 2025, while accepting an award at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, Eilish told an audience that included billionaires, “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”

She has spoken about the need for empathy and redistribution in a “really dark” world, and has directed sharp language at high-profile wealthy individuals, including Musk himself in earlier remarks.

Second, her February 2026 Grammy Awards speech, in which she declared, “No one is illegal on stolen land,” while criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and urging continued protest.

Those statements quickly invited scrutiny once Eilish’s real-estate holdings and commercial activities entered the conversation.

Her Los Angeles-area properties sit on land with ancestral ties to the Tongva (Gabrieleno) people.

Tribal representatives noted the location after the Grammys speech, with some online critics asking why the singer had not returned the land or lived more modestly if she viewed the territory as stolen.

Meanwhile, her fragrance business, part of a broader merchandising and branding empire that includes collaborations and product launches, continues to generate significant revenue through capitalist market mechanisms: marketing, retail partnerships with chains like Ulta Beauty, and direct-to-consumer sales.

Grok’s initial response was concise, noting the apparent inconsistency of critiquing capitalism and land ownership while launching a luxury perfume and residing in multi-million-dollar properties funded by the very system under criticism.

Musk pushed for more, asking for something longer, wittier, and a touch more vulgar.

The subsequent roast leaned into the irony with characteristic sharpness: pointing out that the same economic engine Eilish faults produces the wealth that underwrites her lifestyle, creative control, and product lines, while the land she occupies remains firmly under her ownership rather than being returned.

The humor centered on the gap between rhetorical opposition to concentrated wealth and the practical enjoyment of its fruits, perfumes sold as status symbols, homes in exclusive neighborhoods, and the freedom that commercial success affords.

This episode is not isolated. Eilish has faced similar accusations after product restocks and brand deals, with some fans and detractors labeling the pattern “performative.”

Defenders counter that artists can critique systems while operating within them, that she has donated substantial tour proceeds to climate and food equity causes, and that demanding perfect consistency from public figures is often a selective standard.

Critics, including Musk in this instance, argue the gap between speech and action undermines credibility, especially when the rhetoric involves moral claims about illegality, ownership, and economic justice.

The exchange highlights broader cultural dynamics.

Celebrities frequently navigate the contradiction of achieving extraordinary success in market economies while expressing solidarity with critiques of those same economies.

“Stolen land” rhetoric collides with the reality that nearly every inhabited place has layers of conquest and migration stretching back centuries.

Luxury consumer goods, meanwhile, remain popular precisely because capitalism rewards innovation, branding, and desire.

Musk’s decision to enlist Grok turned a product promotion into a public stress test of consistency.

Whether one views the roast as fair accountability or opportunistic needling, it underscored a persistent question: how far can one criticize a system while thriving inside it without inviting charges of hypocrisy?

In the end, Eilish’s perfume continues to sell, her music continues to stream, and the online conversation continues to rage.

The episode serves as a reminder that in an age of permanent digital records, statements about capitalism and land rarely remain abstract when the speaker’s own material circumstances enter the frame.

Musk and Grok simply made the contrast unavoidable, and, for many observers, entertaining.
