60 years ago, the BBC routinely erased and reused its 16mm reels to save money and space. This short-term solution has now created a chasm in early British television history and culture, as hundreds of hours of pioneering programming have been lost to time. One of the most significant casualties was Doctor Who, whose first six years produced 253 episodes spanning William Hartnell‘s tenure as the First Doctor, and Patrick Troughton, as the Second. With the original reels wiped, generations of fans and TV historians only have partial access to the earliest adventures of the Time Lord.

Over the decades, many of the 253 lost Doctor Who episodes have been recovered through campaigns and archival work by fans and organizations. Now, in the largest Doctor Who discovery since 2013, when nine lost episodes were found in Nigeria, BBC Archives and the Leicester-based charity Film Is Fabulous! have announced the recovery of two episodes long considered gone. These episodes are critical to understanding the foundation of Doctor Who and his now iconic antagonists, the Daleks. Their discovery provides an underexplored avenue for future archival efforts, reigniting the hunt for the remaining 95 lost episodes to complete the 26 unfinished stories.

What Happens in Doctor Who’s “The Daleks’ Masterplan”?

The two newly-found episodes of Doctor Who, which have not been viewed publicly since their original airing in the 1960s, feature the first incarnation of the Doctor, played by William Hartnell, tackling a Dalek plan to take over the Earth. They are from the 12-part 1965 serial “The Daleks’ Masterplan” and are the episodes “The Nightmare Begins” and “Devil’s Planet,” which join the previously recovered “Day of Armageddon” to complete the first three installments of the Daleks’ first major story. Written by Dalek creator, Terry Nation and Dennis Spooner, the serial also starred Peter Purves as Stephen Taylor, who has criticized the BBC, including in Doctor Who Magazine, for their destructive policy: “I’m furious the BBC was so profligate and unthinking. They didn’t even archive the telecine copies. How stupid is that?”

The first newly recovered episode, “The Nightmare Begins,” originally broadcast in November 1965 as part of Season 3, sees the Doctor and Steven land on the jungle planet Kemble while searching for help for an injured companion. They unexpectedly discover a secret Dalek assembly, where they have allied with Mavic Chen, played by Kevin Stoney, the Guardian of the Solar System, to take over Earth. The Doctor and Steven secretly observe the gathering before being detected, ending the episode on a tense cliffhanger. The second episode, “Devil’s Planet,” aired two weeks later, follows the Doctor after he has stolen a critical component needed for the Daleks’ plan. He lands on the planet Desperus and he and his companions must navigate the chaos as the Daleks arrive in pursuit.

“The Daleks’ Masterplan” is a dark and gritty 12-part arc with more than half of its episodes still missing. Other key cast members include Nicholas Courtney in an early appearance as Brett Vyon, Jean Marsh as Sara Kingdom and Adrienne Hill as Katarina. Courtney would later become known for his recurring role as the Brigadier. The serial marks the fourth appearance of the Daleks and is notable for the first brutal deaths of female companions in the series.

‘Doctor Who’ Fans Should Watch This Forgotten 4-Season Sci-Fi Thriller That Still Feels Unsettling

This British series treated the future as administratively hostile.

Why Are There So Many Missing Doctor Who Episodes?

Broadcasts of Doctor Who were wiped under a BBC-wide policy in the 1960s and 70s due to the high cost of reels and lack of archiving priority and strategy. Even technical review copies, which were created from the original negatives to check quality and determine whether edits were required for overseas sales, were discarded. Unlike previous Doctor Who episodes which have been recovered from foreign broadcasters, “The Daleks’ Masterplan” had not been sold abroad because Australian and New Zealand censors deemed it too violent. So, combined with the shift to color, the black-and-white serial was considered commercially worthless.

Film is Fabulous! recovered the episodes from a ramshackle private collection. Justin Smith, chair of FIF, said to the BBC that, “A debt of gratitude was owed to the anonymous late collector, whose films largely focused on his love of trains and canals, including hundreds of home videos, which were donated to FIF after he died.”

Missing episodes of Doctor Who have been previously recovered in several waves, beginning in 1983 when 16mm prints of episodes 5 and 10 of “The Daleks’ Masterplan” were discovered at a church in Wandsworth, London. In 2004, the episode “Day of Armageddon” was returned by a former BBC engineer, having survived as another technical copy used for quality checks. A wider public effort followed in 2006 through a Blue Peter appeal encouraging fans to search private collections, contributing to further additions such as the 2011 recovery of episodes from “Galaxy 4” and “The Underwater Menace.” The most significant modern discovery came in 2013 in Jos, Nigeria, where nine missing episodes from Second Doctor stories were uncovered, marking the largest single recovery in decades. BBC Archives have now restored the two latest episodes to broadcast quality, and they will be released on BBC iPlayer at Easter 2026, with a special screening in London on the same day, April 4.

“The Daleks’ Masterplan” is pivotal for understanding the series’ original tone, scale, and characters — many of which have informed how the series has continued in its original run and current iteration from Russell T. Davies. With this new recovery, the first quarter of the largest Dalek story ever attempted is now available to fans, renewing hope that further missing episodes may be unexpectedly found in the UK rather than abroad. The complete history of Doctor Who may finally be preserved, and the BBC will be finally redeemed for their biggest archival mistake.

Kim Kardashian has come under scrutiny over her parenting after posting a photo of her son, Saint.

The image of the 11-year-old sparked concern online as he performed a stunt with his electric bike, prompting fans of the reality TV star to call her out for seemingly encouraging him to engage in dangerous activities.

Meanwhile, rumors continue to swirl about Kim Kardashian’s romantic connection with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

Fans Worry As Kim Kardashian Posts Image Of Son Saint Doing A Wheelie On His E-Bike

Kardashian faced online backlash after sharing a photo of her son, Saint, performing a stunt on his electric bike.

The 11-year-old, one of Kim and ex-husband Kanye West’s children, was pictured popping a wheelie while holding onto the handlebars.

While Kardashian appeared impressed with her son’s skills, even captioning the photo, “BIKER BOY SAINT,” many fans criticized the risky maneuver.

“Omg lol that is dangerous,” one wrote, while another added sarcastically, “That looks really safe—in the middle of the road.”

A third person warned, “Don’t allow that for that boy, it’s dangerous. He’s going to hurt himself,” while another stated, “Kimberly, you need to get him a knee pad.”

Amid the criticism, some fans pointed out that at least Saint was wearing a helmet, while one commenter cheered him on: “On behalf of the biker community, we see you and are proud of you, Saint! Keep going.”

Kim Kardashian Stumbles In Gucci At Vanity Fair After-Party, Shares Glam Look On Instagram

In a separate incident, Kardashian shared a funny mishap from the 98th Academy Awards. While wearing a skin-tight gold Gucci gown for the Vanity Fair after-party in Los Angeles, the reality star stumbled into a bush.

In a TikTok shared with fans, she revealed she had asked her friend Stephanie Shepherd if her right shoe “should be tighter” just moments before the fall.

On Monday, March 16, the 45-year-old star posted an Instagram carousel showing off the gold look for, including clips and photos from her glam prep.

In the comment section, her rumored new man, Lewis Hamilton, 41, hyped her up with a simple heart-eyes emoji.

Kim Kardashian And Lewis Hamilton Spotted Together As Romance Rumors Swirl

Hamilton’s comment comes two weeks after the pair were spotted in Arizona at Lake Powell, taking a sunset stroll.

That same day, both shared faceless clips of the scenery on social media with matching backgrounds. Earlier sightings include a hotel in Paris in February, which sources described to People Magazine as “a romantic meetup” aboard a private jet.

They were also seen together at Super Bowl LX on February 8 in Santa Clara, California.

According to a source who spoke with the publication, Hamilton makes the SKIMS founder “feel safe, and she genuinely enjoys spending time with him.”

The insider added, “There’s a comfort level there because they’ve known each other for years. Kim’s gone on dates and met people over the years, but Lewis is the first guy she’s really into in a long time. She always liked him. She’s excited about their romantic connection.” The source added that Kardashian is “taking things moment by moment and seeing where it goes.”

The Business Mogul’s Daughter Is Set To Launch Her Own Fashion Brand, NOR11

Meanwhile, Kardashian and West’s 12-year-old daughter, North West, is preparing to launch her own fashion brand. Last month, Kardashian’s lawyers filed three trademark applications on her behalf with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The brand, called “NOR11,” according to a report, references both North’s nickname and her age when she first developed the line.

The filings cover multiple categories: clothing and accessories like dresses, socks, shoes, and hats; watches and jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings; and bags, from backpacks to purses and wallets.

Kim Kardashian Is The Only Parent Involved In Her North’s Budding Business

Although the brand hasn’t been officially announced, North has been seen wearing “NOR11” hats in photos and videos on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.

The applications were submitted through KimYe’s Kid Inc., incorporated in California in 2023. Previously, the company filed trademarks for North, then nine years old, related to a skincare and toy line.

While the corporation bears both of North’s parents’ names, state records show only Kardashian is officially involved in her daughter’s budding fashion venture.

Chrisean Rock has entered a new era, focusing on God, her son, and her career. However, as she tries to change her life, it looks like legal issues may be creeping back in. The situation sparked concern online, but Chrisean is clearing the air and sharing her side.

Chrisean Rock Denies License Issues Amid Warrant Reports

On Wednesday, reports surfaced online that Chrisean Rock had been issued a bench warrant. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the warrant was issued after she missed a February court hearing tied to a traffic case. Prosecutors say Chrisean was charged on January 26 with two misdemeanors for driving on a suspended license in Hermosa Beach, California, in December 2025.

She was due in court on February 26 but allegedly didn’t show, leading the judge to issue the warrant. There have been no updates in the court system, suggesting the warrant may still be active. Chrisean Rock later took to her Instagram Story to clear the air. She denied having issues with her license and said she plans to handle everything soon.

The reality star wrote, “My license is not suspended. It’s currently restricted for travel to and from work. Also, the court date has been rescheduled. I have looked more into the situation and it will be easily resolved. When I was in LA, I didn’t have my ID to resolve it. I just received my current ID. It’s only a $270 fee to get it unrestricted. The fight is still on April 25th. Thanks for y’all concerns. Traffic court will be handled ASAP.”

Social Media Weighs In

Social media users gathered under The Shade Room to react to the latest Chrisean report. Some defended her, saying every time she tries to change, something goes left. Others shared words of encouragement. Meanwhile, some said maturity comes with responsibility. They questioned how she attended interviews but missed her court date.

Instagram user wrote @melanin_monroe_93 wrote, “I feel like every time she attempts to go on a good path something happens”.

Instagram user @perry_africana added, “leave my girlie alone.. she just tryna hustle for her and baby chrisean jr”

While Instagram user @eliteyellowleo wrote, “She denied it the last time she was arrested also.”

Instagram user wrote @blackteaqueensz wrote, “So you had time for an interview in Miami, but not enough time to appear in court? traffic ticket or not priorities backwards”

Instagram user @jaypOrt3r added, “Part of being a adult is handling your shi, betore it even gets to that point. You have a baby, your not the big baby nomore. Old ssa almost 27.”

While Instagram user @my11aa wrote, “I thought we left her in 2025”

Instagram user @jayedabratt wrote, “That’s what suspended is 😭 they put a hold on it till you pay fees. Same thing happened to me” 

Instagram user @dessy.slayyy added, “Lol yall would hate me my license was suspended before l even got the chance to get it”

While Instagram user @reelwizerealize wrote, “It’s a traffic ticket y’all treat this girl so inhumane. It’s impossible for people not to make mistakes especially those of us who have no help or good examples that preceded us.”

What Has Chrisean Rock Been Up To Lately?

While Chrisean Rock addressed the warrant reports, she has also been focused on her personal growth and daily life. When she’s not on the net or doing interviews, Chrisean  has been putting in work at the gym. Recently she,s been preparing for her upcoming XRumble appearance. She is set to compete in the platform’s first ever female Super Middleweight Championship fight.

Outside the ring, Chrisean has been spending time in what she calls her “happy place”. On February 22, she shared church footage and spoke on how worship helps her reset. 

The reality star wrote, “Worship is where I reset. Where I lay everything down. Where I remember who I am and whose I am. Serving at church, it’s where my heart feels most alive. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God. Psalm 84:10. Serving in worship will forever be my happy place.”

Through it all her baby boy remains by her side. In March, Chrisean shared moments with her son, Chrisean Jesus. She called him her “heart” and “everything.”

She wrote, “My son, my heart, my everything. I’m just grateful to grow with you. I promise to never give up. I will keep going, we got this. Everything is already written. He has given me a new song to sing. A hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Amen. Psalms 40:3 NLT.” She also shared a clip of him giving her kisses.”

Young Sherlock had all the ingredients to be Prime Video’s next big hit. It presented a fresh take on Sherlock Holmes, showcasing Hero Fiennes Tiffin‘s detective and his friendship with his future enemy, James Moriarty (Dónal Finn). It was co-created by Guy Ritchie, who’d previously worked on a pair of Sherlock Holmes films starring Robert Downey Jr. Young Sherlock also topped the streamer’s Top 10 TV shows list in its first week of release, showcasing plenty of promise. However, it’s in fierce competition with another Prime Video hit, as Invincible just returned with its fourth season.

At the time of writing, Invincible currently sits at the #3 spot on Prime Video’s Top 10 TV shows, while Young Sherlock has made it back to #1, according to FlixPatrol. Still, this shows that fans are still hooked on the adventures of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) and are willing to tune in whenever a new season drops. It’s not just superhero fans who love Invincible, though. Each season has received sky-high scores on Rotten Tomatoes; Season 4 currently boasts a perfect score of 100%. This shows that Invincible isn’t just the flavor of the month, but a crown jewel in Prime Video’s library.

‘Invincible’ Has Become A Smash Success for Prime Video

Image via Prime Video

Invincible made waves when it premiered five years ago, since it was unlike any other superhero show. In the same spirit as the original comics by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, it beautifully subverts the tropes viewers have come to expect from superhero media while also delivering buckets of bloody violence. Kirkman, who serves as co-showrunner alongside Simon Racioppa, has also referred to Invincible as a “second draft” of the comics — meaning that some characters receive a much-needed update while the story often shifts thanks to being in a new medium. Case in point: this week’s episode, “Hurm,” is based on a story that Kirkman never got to in the comics.

Invincible has taken one of the best parts of its source material to heart, building a long-running storyline over four seasons. From the very first episode, Mark Grayson’s father, Nolan (J.K. Simmons), was revealed to be an agent of the tyrannical Viltrumite Empire, which had designs on conquering Earth. Each season has also brought Mark into conflict with a different Viltrumite, and now Season 4 is set to adapt the iconic “Viltrumite War” from the comics, which pits him against the Viltrumites’ Grand Regent Thragg (Lee Pace). In an age where streaming shows are canceled before they can reach their full potential, Invincible is rewarding its audience’s investment.

‘Invincible’ and ‘Young Sherlock’ Show That Prime Video’s Best Shows are Genre-Focused

Invincible and Young Sherlock‘s domination of the streaming charts continues a trend of Prime Video’s biggest shows being genre fare, using a combination of star power and concept to hook viewers. Other shows that have benefited from this approach include Fallout, The Legend of Vox Machina, and The Boys, which often top Prime Video charts whenever they drop new seasons. While Prime Video often drops splashy Comic-Con panels and timed activations to promote their series, word of mouth and a built-in audience are often responsible for their chart-topping success, proving that consistency is a streamer’s secret weapon in the TV landscape.

Invincible also has time on its side. When asked how long it would take for the series to fully adapt the events of the comic, Robert Kirkman told Polygon that he’s willing to go as long as it takes:

“I’m trying not to pin it down to a number, because it is somewhat of a moving target. I think in the seven-to-eight-season range seems like it would be enough. But there could be some things we move through a little faster, some things we expand. If we’re fortunate enough to go for a good long time, I think that would be enough to cover the entire comic.”

Such a number is unheard of in the current streaming landscape, but it speaks to how Invincible has earned enough trust among fans and critics to sustain a healthy run. Young Sherlock and other shows in the streaming space should look to it as an example.

Following many unofficial set images and leaks, we finally got our first official glimpse at the new HBO adaptation of all seven of the Harry Potter novels this week. Showcasing Dominic McLaughlin‘s titular Boy Who Lived in his Quidditch robes, clutching his Nimbus 2000 and about to enter the pitch, the image oozes quality and is a far cry from the cozy vibes of the first movie. On first impressions alone, fans are particularly impressed, illustrated by social media’s ability to leave the overwhelming controversy alone for a short while following the image’s release.

As a huge risk for HBO, given the vast amounts of funding they are pouring into this series, these early impressions are vital in helping dust off the nostalgia and encouraging millions of fans to look forward to a more thorough Harry Potter adaptation. Of course, the Wizard World brand is still as popular as it was in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and HBO will be hoping to capitalize on this popularity. This is something HBO Max exec Sarah Aubrey discussed ina recent interview ahead of the brand-new trailer, as she admitted the streamer “made such a big commitment to this show,” adding that it was a “financial investment we normally wouldn’t make.”

“It’s just very special working on something that means that much. There’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also very, very special,” Aubrey added, before delivering a tantalizing endorsement of the series. “The world that has been created is absolutely extraordinary,” she confirmed, adding, “The journey with these incredible books continues and I’m so excited for all of you to see it and be a part of it.”

John Schneider‘s ex-wife, Elvira Castle, has filed a new court document claiming he owes her millions in spousal support following their divorce in 2019.

The former couple has previously been involved in a legal standoff that resulted in the actor sleeping in jail for not paying her spousal support.

John Schneider previously opened up about dealing with love and grief, revealing that he writes a “daily letter to heaven” to his late partner, Alice Allain.

John Schneider’s Ex-Wife Claims He Owes Her $2.3 Million In Spousal Support

It seems like the last hasn’t been heard on the enduring legal battle between “Dukes of Hazzard” star John Schneider and his second ex-wife, Elvira “Elly” Castle.

In new court filings obtained by TMZ, she claims he hasn’t paid her spousal support for some years now, and the debt has amounted to a whopping $2.3 million.

She added that the mountain of debt includes more than $900k in accrued interest, and she’s not willing to let go.

Schneider and Castle got married in 1993 and stayed together until 2014, when she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

The Actor’s Ex-Wife Wants Her Spousal Support Paid With His SAG Pension And Social Security

Schneider and his former wife, Castle, reached a settlement in August 2019 when he was ordered to pay her around $25,000 per month in spousal support.

Now, Castle appears bent on recovering every dime as she has reportedly asked the court to give her some amount of money out of Schneider’s Screen Actors Guild pension.

Schnieder’s ex-wife has also asked for a cut of his Social Security if the actor can’t pay the alleged debt.

The former couple shares a biological daughter, Karis, as well as daughters Mandy and Leah, and son Chasen, whom Castle had from a previous relationship.

He tied the knot with his first wife, Tawny Little, in 1983, but they split in 1986.

John Schneider Previously Did Jail Time For His Issues With Elvira Castle

This isn’t Schneider’s first run-in with the court regarding his divorce settlement with Castle. Back in 2020, she accused him of failing to pay spousal support that amounted to a million dollars.

At the time, she noted that he made $172,000 per month and didn’t expect him to pay the amount in full, but asked that she be given a portion of his payroll from “30 different studios and production companies.”

According to TMZ, Schneider was sentenced to three days in Los Angeles County jail in 2018 for failing to pay over $150,000 in alimony to her.

However, he was released after a few hours due to jail overcrowding. In addition to jail time, he was also ordered to complete 240 hours of community service and complete a long list of financial obligations.

The Actor Opened Up About The Death Of His Ex-Partner, Alice Allain

Amid his legal battle with Castle, Schneider remarried his long-time girlfriend, Alicia Allain, in a private 2019 ceremony. However, it wasn’t legal at the time, as he was still mixed up in his issue with Castle.

Allain unfortunately died from breast cancer at age 53 in February 2023, leaving the actor shattered in pain.

Reflecting on the love they once shared, he said he felt grateful that he got to do it with her while also revealing several plans they’d hoped to see come to fruition.

“I miss every damn thing, every day,” he said, per People Magazine. “I have to get to the point where I look around and see where she is, not where she’s not. And I’m trying to do that, but that’s hard. Somehow I love her more every minute, but with that, somehow I miss her more every minute.”

At the time, the “Smallville” actor shared that they decided to get married “after her diagnosis, not before,” which seemingly spoke to how inseparable and in love they were.

“The TTB, the Team to Beat, was like, ‘Hell no, cancer. You’re not splitting this up. We’re going to make it harder for you,’” he added.

John Schneider Is Currently Married To Dee Dee Sorvino

Meanwhile, Schneider has since found love again after marrying his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, following the death of Allain.

Back in 2024, he spoke about meeting someone new during an episode of “Grace Begins: The Podcast.”

Advertisement

At the time, Schneider told hosts Cathy Cardenas and Catherine Sutherland that he wasn’t looking for a new relationship after Allain’s death and honestly “didn’t want it,” but things seemingly changed.

“God sent a widower to a widow and a widow to a widower who [gets] it, who understands,” he said. “Because I tell you what, I was ready to give it up, all of it—everything.”

“Then just when I thought the very notion of dating or holding another hand was repulsive, I met this one, that crazy dame over there,” he added, pointing to her on the show, but she wasn’t shown or named.

“I was done,” Schneider said about his emotional state before meeting her. “And if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have been here, there’s not a chance in the world.”

Roommates, y’all know childhood memories hit a little different when you start connecting the dots later in life. Well, Reginae Carter recently had one of those moments, and somehow Solange Knowles and her dad, Lil Wayne, ended up part of a convo that had fans raising eyebrows without even spilling too much tea at first.

Reginae Reflects On The Wayne & Solange Era

While chatting with Toie Ashanti on the ‘Heir Time’ podcast, Reginae Carter got candid about growing up around her dad’s relationships, admitting she actually had a soft spot for several of the women he dated, including Nivea—who she loved so much she begged to attend her birthday party and even dressed like her—as well as Trina and Solange, making it clear her memories were rooted in admiration and positive vibes rather than anything messy.

During the conversation, Reginae can be heard saying: “I was telling my friend the other day… how like I used to love Nivea,” she shared. “I begged for Niv to come to my party. Like I used to dress like Nivea for my party.” From there, she brought up Trina and Solange Knowles, adding, “Girl, I love Nivea. I love Trina. I love Solange… Yeah. He had a few. I love everybody.“

Fans Lose It Over Solange Mention

Folks wasted no time running to Reginae’s podcast Instagram comment section and ran it UP. Reactions came from every direction, with some joking that Wayne’s roster is just as legendary as his discography. While others questioned if everyone was talking about the same Solange. And, a few added that it actually makes sense when you look back at it.

One Instagram user @lilmama said, “Solange is somewhere gaging right now 😩”

And, Instagram user @lexiisaysit added, “Solangeeeeee? Reginaeeee were you supposed to tell us that😂”

This Instagram user @_sotoye wrote, “I remember Wayne spoke at Solange birthday party and said she’s a great person inside and out 😂😂😂”

Then Instagram user @lovin_ream4l joked, “😂😂😂 This whyyy Toya said she making Nae sign a NDA 😂😂”

While Instagram user @yngsaintlaron shared, “Wayne roster go crazy“

Finally, Instagram user @lifeasjasmine__ commented, “The fact we’re ALL stunned about Solange !!!😂”

Wait, What Does Bow Wow Have To Do With This?

Now, Roommates, y’all might be wondering—what does Bow Wow have to do with all this? Well, Reginae’s comments come years after Bow Wow had the internet in a chokehold back in 2020 when he hopped on Clubhouse and casually claimed that “everyone knows” Lil Wayne and Solange Knowles used to date, instantly sparking debate online. However, neither Wayne nor Solange has ever confirmed those rumors, with Solange previously maintaining that their relationship was simply a close friendship despite years of speculation.

One year after she survived an alleged murder attempt by her husband during her birthday trip to Hawaii, Arielle Konig testified against him in court during the trial.

Konig, 37, took the stand before a jury on Tuesday, March 24, to testify against her husband, Gerhardt Konig, who has been accused of attempting to push her off a cliff in Oahu, Hawaii. The couple was in Oahu at the time of the incident to celebrate Arielle’s birthday on March 24, 2025.

Arielle told the judge that she survived the alleged attack after hikers nearby heard her screaming for help and called 911, according to a live stream of the hearing, shared by Court TV.

“I felt hopeful that this was a turning point for us in our marriage, and that this was going to be a nice trip and kind of started the next chapter for us,” Arielle told the courtroom about the trip.

Related: Dad Sent 5 Kids ‘Away’ From Car So He Could Strangle Pregnant Mom

A California dad has been accused of sending his five kids “away” from their car, into a park, so that he could strangle his pregnant wife in the back seat during a camping trip in Idaho. Robert Seviano Howell was arrested on Friday, January 16, and was charged with one count of felony attempted murder, […]

She also recalled the details of the events that led to the attack during her testimony. Arielle said that Gerhardt, 47, allegedly took her on a hike on a steep cliff. During the hike, she said she refused to go up an elevation because she was scared of how steep it was.

Arielle went on to tell the court that she later took a photo with Gerhardt — who worked as a doctor in Maui — against a steep cliff, which she said made her feel uneasy. She then said she asked Gerhardt to step aside so she could move away from the edge.

As she began to walk toward her husband, Arielle claimed that Gerhardt grabbed her by her arms and said, “I’m so f**king done with this s**t” and “get back over there.”

Gerhardt then allegedly got on top of her. “He was first trying to pull me closer to the cliff,” Arielle said, adding that she then saw a syringe in his hand as he instructed her to “hold still.”

“F**k you, you’re done,” Gerhardt allegedly said as he held her down. “I’m so sick of your s**t.”

Arielle explained that she tried to stop Gerhardt by talking about their children. “Our kids will be orphans,” she recalled telling him. “You’ll go to jail and I’ll be dead; our kids need us.”

She then claimed that Gerhardt said, “You’re done. We don’t need you anymore.”

Arielle said that Gerhardt appeared to calm down slightly as she spoke about their kids. However, she said he then took a few deep breaths and started hitting her with rocks.

Gerhardt allegedly stopped hitting her after two hikers nearby heard Arielle’s calls for help and reported the disturbance to 911.

Arielle appeared calm as she gave her testimony, though she did choke up at one point when Gerhardt’s defense attorney showed her a card he had given her on the morning of the incident.

Meanwhile, Gerhardt was seen taking notes as Arielle testified.

Gerhardt was arrested one day after the incident and is on trial for second-degree attempted murder. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During the opening statements, Gerhardt’s attorney, Thomas Otake, said that his client had been falsely accused of attempted murder. He argued that Arielle started an “unplanned, unanticipated scuffle” when they got into an argument regarding her past affair.

However, Arielle said on the stand that she wouldn’t consider the altercation a “scuffle.”

“I consider [a] scuffle to be like a back and forth, like a wrestling thing,” she said. “I would call it an attack versus a scuffle.”

Latto Clears The Air & Stands Ten Toes In Her Big Mama Era

There has been plenty of chatter surrounding Latto’s relationship status. Fans have tried to prove that she and 21 Savage go together real bad for a minute now. Then, in August 2025, video footage showed them vacationing together in St. Vincent. More speculation popped off after Latto recently dropped her music video for her new single, ‘Business & Personal.’ Fans immediately peeped 21’s baby pics in the visuals, and then others assumed his tatted hand caressed her belly since the ink seemed to match his. Even though she doesn’t name-drop 21, she told Paper she’s not clearing up anything about her relationship. She said she’s been with her man for years and won’t let any chatter shake her.

“I have nothing to prove no anyone. I have no rumor to clear up,” she said. “I’ve been with my man for years now, and it ain’t going nowhere. To me, that’s clearly a result of me moving and operating how I do.”

From there, the ‘Georgia Peach’ hitmaker explained that she’s always been a lover girl, but she never let her relationships define her, but still she’s happy to have a solid man holding her down.

“I’m my own person outside of my relationship as well. I don’t want to make that the forefront of my existence, my career. I got a man at home, I’m happy and well taken care of, and that’s all anyone needs to know.”

Fans have been looking for Latto for a minute, and that had them thinking she had a bun in the oven. Turns out they clocked her tea because she finally confirmed her pregnancy last week. After going MIA for months, the raptress said she felt scared to confirm she was gearing up to be a mom. Now? She feels excited because this chapter of her life already felt written.

“I was definitely terrified of what everyone was going to think and, you know, those stigmas, that [motherhood] is gonna slow you down,” she said. “But I feel like I’m more motivated than I’ve ever been in my life. I was worried in the beginning, and I literally laugh at how worried I was now. I can’t imagine my life being any other way. It’s like it was written.”

Latto also addressed folks calling her out for capping in her raps. On ‘Go Girl’ by Summer Walker, she raps in her verse, “Big mama, no kids […]” she continues, “Waiting for the right n***a, right time.” She said she’s been waiting to speak on that and all of the shade she’s been getting since announcing her pregnancy. She said she doesn’t cap in her raps and recorded that verse a long time ago. “I recorded that verse almost two years ago. I was not pregnant! I’m not a cap-a** b***h.”
