A middle school art teacher in Texas has been arrested after she was accused of “child grooming” and allegedly admitted to having a crush on a teen boy.

Haley Krista Radabaugh was arrested on May 15 after multiple students at Barbara Bush Middle School came forward with allegations that involved the teacher and a student, the Irving Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly.

Students told a school resource officer that Radabaugh, 28, “was known to be having inappropriate sexual conversations with at least three middle school students and providing drugs to students,” according to the arrest warrant viewed by NBC 5.

Radabaugh allegedly started sending sexually suggestive messages to a student on Instagram, which included messages like, “There was a kid I crushed on hard before you,” and “I’ll tell you what. You send me a photo of you, and I’ll send you one of me.”

Investigators went on to say that Radabaugh sent “a photo of what appears to be herself getting out of the shower.” The photograph was allegedly taken “mid-chest up” and seemingly showed her entire face. While the photo did not show any nudity, investigators confirmed that Radabaugh was nude at the time it was taken.

Radabaugh also allegedly used “flirtatious kiss emojis” in the messages and “called the victim ‘babe,’” according to charging documents.

The arrest warrant went on to state that “the victim described himself as being disgusted and losing sleep after the defendant messaged him.”

Following her arrest, Radabaugh has been charged with child grooming. It is not currently clear if she has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following her arrest.

Radabaugh has since been released from custody after she posted a $250,000 bond.

Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD confirmed that police are investigating the allegations made against the “former” employee.

“While we are limited on what we can disclose, we are deeply distressed and disheartened by these incidents,” a district spokesperson added in a statement, per NBC 5.

The Irving Police Department had no additional information to share about the case when contacted by Us.

Katia Gonzalez, who works with Alliance for Children in Fort Worth, told the outlet that child abuse most often happens “with somebody that you would never imagine would hurt a child.”

A high school teacher in Texas has been arrested after he allegedly had sex with a student in his classroom, and he was caught after another student saw them together. Chad Allen Rodriguez was arrested on Saturday, May 16, and was charged with a second-degree felony for having sex with a 17-year-old girl. Rodriguez, 38, […]

Gonzalez, who is not directly involved in the case, also said social media “friendships” between minors and teachers are always considered inappropriate no matter what topics they’re discussing.

She added that child groomers often use “electronic grooming dynamics” to start isolating their victims.

“We see a lot of our cases that actually led to sexual abuse started out with electronic communication to the point where a lot of youth serving organizations, such as schools or educational settings, have specific policies to prevent and prohibit contact with kids outside of those school activities,” Gonzalez said. “There are a lot of platforms that are developed specific for communication that’s appropriate, that’s safe, where everything is visible and there’s not that isolated communication.”

Ray J is not taking any chances with the after-effects of those punches from Supa Hot Fire!

The rapper reportedly booked himself into the nearest health facility after noticing unusual symptoms regarding his physical health shortly after the celebrity boxing match in Las Vegas last weekend.

Ray J has disclosed in recent times that his heart is not in excellent condition due to the effects of some bad lifestyle choices he has made in the past, including alcoholism and drugs.

The entertainer reportedly took the initiative to check himself into a health facility two hours after the match went down. According to sources, medics have since begun running tests on the rapper, with hopes to get to the root of his health concerns.

Medical experts are reportedly now examining whether Ray suffered a concussion during the fight, as he also mentioned that he began experiencing complications involving an unusually slow heartbeat.

As stated by TMZ, the songwriter’s latest health scare follows earlier reports as the year began that he was reportedly hospitalized with pneumonia and heart-related issues.

The Rapper Bowed Out Of The Match With A Clean Knockout In The Second Round

Ray’s outing in Las Vegas on May 23 did little to prove his strength or experience as a ring fighter. The rapper could not take the heat from Supa Hot Fire as he crumbled under the weight of his punch in the second round of the Adin Ross UFC Apex Event.

Supa Hot Fire sent a clean punch in Ray’s direction around the 2:35 mark, leading to a loss in balance after which he stumbled into the ropes and landed on the canvas with a thud. The Blast shared that the referee immediately proceeded to declare the result a victory in Supa Hot Fire’s favor.

However, a displeased Ray had a few things to say after the bell rang, including the fact that the game was rigged and a lot of money went down the drain with the outcome of the match.

Ray J’s Boxing Match May Have Defied His Doctors’ Orders

The entertainer had revealed during an interview in January that doctors expressed doubts about how much more time he had left, hence the need to place him on a few drugs to help manage his health.

As shared by The Blast, Ray recalled that his list of drugs included cholesterol medication Lipitor, Jardiance, and Entresto, drugs often prescribed for people at high risk of heart failure.

He also noted that he was informed that he might be placed on a pacemaker or defibrillator, depending on the outcome of his next appointment. However, Ray was advised to have maximum rest while following his prescriptions religiously.

He was also warned to steer clear of drinks and smoke, although he confessed to finding these rules hard to follow, but staying alive as long as he can for the sake of his kids has become a priority.

In another post, the streamer expressed regret about his lifestyle in the past, admitting that he should have slowed things down a little on the fun side. He added that when he dies, he would love to be cremated and not buried.

The Kick Streamer Was Arrested After A Dramatic Episode With His Baby Mama Last Year

As 2025 pulled to a close, Ray became embroiled in a domestic dispute involving his estranged wife, Princess Love. The actor was reportedly arrested after a tense dispute about their two kids on Thanksgiving Day.

As the exchange went on, Ray reportedly pulled out his gun on Princess Love, prompting her to call the cops, who came and ferried the rapper away from the scene. According to reports, the former couple disagreed over Princess Love opting to leave their child.

That was not all, Ray also picked an offense with his wife’s cousin husband staying inside his home, and his fans on Twitch were able to watch the chaos erupt in real time as the rapper was streaming at the time. 

One month after his arrest, Ray shared a video of himself allegedly stranded in Tampa without food or shelter, noting that he was hoping to hitch a ride to Los Angeles while filming what he hoped could become a hitchhiking show.

Ray J And Princess Love Find A Common Ground Amid His Health Status Revelation

The actor and his estranged wife eventually pushed aside their differences. They headed to the San Fernando courthouse in Los Angeles in January to relax the protective order that prevented him from contacting Love and their children.

The new arrangement made provision for the rapper to have maximum unlimited contact with his kids after third parties testified in court that the rapper indeed misses his kids.

Love also agreed and noted that they have all been losing sleep about his health issues, and the time factor attached to the reveal has made it imperative for them to spend as much time with him as possible. The singer’s baby mama took back her initial statement that Ray posed a danger to the well-being of their two children.

Love and Ray’s marriage headed for the rocks in 2024 when she filed for divorce for the fourth time. She pushed for sole custody a year later, acknowledging that Ray’s unwarranted behavior had become frustrating and exhausting.

Get well soon, Ray J!

Not all genre mashes are created equal, and 2014’s Naked After Midnight (or After Midnight in some markets) is the most baffling one I’ve come across so far. The film is about a stripper who gets murdered at her place of work, The Candy Cat Club, and her news-anchor sister putting on a wig and posing as an exotic dancer to avenge her death. Along the way, she’s manipulated by her producer and therapist, both of whom want to take their one-sided relationships with her to the next level. Unfortunately for them, she’s a little too preoccupied with her poorly planned revenge arc to entertain their romantic advances.

The whole thing plays out like a bad episode of Law & Order: SVU, but with the added melodrama and sexual exploitation of Showgirls. In better hands, Naked After Midnight could have made for a solid comedy or parody film, but it leans hard into mystery thriller territory, stripping the film of any semblance of charm. Still, it’s so laughably bad, for reasons I’m about to get into, that it’s worth a watch if you’re a masochist like me and just want to watch the world burn.

News Anchor By Night, Revenge Stripper By … Also Night?

Naked After Midnight follows Constance (Catherine Annette), who learns about the murder of her stripper sister, Ann (Jeneta St. Clair), while reading the teleprompter at her news network job. Broken by the news, her suspiciously supportive boss, John (Tim Abell), allows her to take some time off to grieve. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Hubbard (Richard Grieco), who is also suspiciously supportive of her (read: both men want her badly), gives her a shoulder to cry on.

Constance has a different plan in mind, though, and it involves avenging her sister’s death. To do this, Constance, who I feel the need to remind you is a public figure, throws on a blonde wig and asks Candy Cat Club owner Rikki (Tawny Kitaen) for a job despite the fact that she doesn’t know how to dance. The other girls at the club, like Misty (Tiffany Tynes), Britney (Cindy Lucas), and Zoey (Christine Nguyen), don’t take kindly to the prospect of a new stripper cutting into their tip pool. None of them seem all that broken up or concerned over the fact that Ann, somebody they worked closely with a day earlier, was murdered in the parking lot outside their place of work. While all of this is happening, Constance is haunted by apparitions of her dead sister, who just comes and goes as she pleases.

One of the club’s regulars, Julian (Bobby Rice), recognizes Constance from her news show and wants to help with the mystery. Constance is too busy talking to her hospitalized, brain-dead sister Sasha (Madison Ivy) about her revenge plot, though, despite the fact that she’s in a persistent vegetative state and has absolutely no clue what Constance is saying. As Constance digs herself deeper into the world of exotic dancing, she discovers truths she isn’t ready for, making her even more unhinged in her quest to find who killed her sister and return the favor.

Where Do I Start?

If Naked After Midnight had better acting, better production values, a better screenplay, and better direction, it could be a solid movie. If you were to scan that previous sentence with a sarcasm detector a la Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, the machine would detonate in your hands. Every line of dialogue between the strippers feels ripped straight from the Mean Girls playbook, but without any wit or naive teenage charm. Everybody is incredibly mean here except for Rikki, who looks after her girls and always packs heat in her clutch bag.

The weird love triangle between Constance and her two persistent male suitors is laughable because it basically boils down to two grown men repeatedly saying, “Come on, you can talk to me, baby,” to a woman who has absolutely no romantic interest in either of them. The twist ending, which I honestly didn’t see coming, is beyond stupid and arrives so far out of left field that I questioned my own intelligence for a second. Looking back at everything that transpired leading up to it, though, I came to the conclusion that it’s not me. It’s the movie that’s dumb.

Most egregious, though, is The Candy Cat Club itself, which never seems to have more than five patrons inside. The stripper-to-customer ratio is basically one to one, and I have reason to believe that this comes down to budget limitations. Most of the unintentional humor comes from the fact that every single dancer is fighting over turf and tips as if the handful of men in the club have enough dollar bills to go around. The funny part is that they somehow do make it rain, which made me wonder what these guys do for a living because they show up every single night.

Everything about Naked After Midnight is confusing. It’s supposed to be a revenge story, but once you get to the reveal, that premise is completely undermined, making the entire buildup feel pointless. At the same time, it’s so unintentionally hilarious that you kind of have to watch it if you’re looking for something insane to take your mind off things. But be warned: there’s a fair amount of nudity here, and nobody really knows how to dance, which somehow makes the whole thing even more awkward.

“The Bachelor” alum Colton Underwood is going to bat for his son, Bishop. After sharing a photo of himself posing with his 20-month-old son, a social media troll left a shady comment about the minor that Underwood took issue with. In a series of posts thereafter, Underwood defended his parenting skills and shamed the troll for using “loaded comments to express disapproval” about his lifestyle.

Underwood recently uploaded a photo of himself with his son, Bishop, to his Instagram. According to Us Weekly, one netizen replied to the image, writing, “I feel bad for that kid.” While it’s unclear what the commenter meant, Underwood assumed the user’s comment was a dig at the reality star and his husband, Jordan C. Brown.

Underwood clapped back at the troll, pinning their comment in a separate post and writing, “Genuinely curious what you meant by this. Because if you ‘feel bad’ for Bishop, I’d love to understand why. He’s loved, supported, celebrated, happy and surrounded by people who show up for him every single day.”

Colton Underwood Slams Adults Who Use ‘Loaded’ Language To Belittle Other People Over Differences

That wasn’t all Underwood had to say. Continuing, the 34-year-old implied that he was more than capable of providing his son with what he needed to be successful. “What a child actually needs protection from isn’t a loving family,” he said.

Underwood, who came out as gay in April 2021, then blasted the social media user for using their words to put him and his family down.

“It’s ‘adults’ who use vague, loaded comments to express disapproval they don’t have the courage to say out loud. Words like yours, ambiguous enough to deny, pointed enough to wound, are exactly how kids learn that who they are is something to be ashamed of. That’s the thing worth feeling bad about,” he said.

Underwood opened up even more about the pain comments such as the ones above can cause him and his family. In the caption, Underwood explained that he actually wrote about these moments in his memoir, “Dear Bishop.”

“Some days they don’t affect me. Other days they ruin my day,” Underwood said. “Most days, they remind me why sharing my life this publicly is worth it…because somewhere there’s a kid, or a man, who might find comfort or something familiar in my story. That’s what keeps me living openly.”

Netizens quickly rushed to Underwood’s defense to drown out the negativity, with one cheering, “Keep sharing. The world needs to see it!” Another one of Underwood’s followers wrote, “That boy is sooooo lucky to have yall as his parents.”

Earlier this year, Underwood was the topic of conversation when his “Traitors” co-star, Michael Rapport, said, “Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you,” during one of the show’s heated round-table discussions. While Rappaport later said his comments were taken out of context, many viewers labeled them as homophobic.

According to The Blast, Underwood admitted to being a bit thrown off by Rapport’s comments, saying, “The reason I said yes to doing a show like ‘The Traitors’ is it’s not personal.”

He added, “The drama and the intensity of the show is always so game-focused, so I think that’s what just threw me a little bit, is when it got personal and he was using me as a human being instead of my gameplay against me. That’s what caught me off guard, and I think you felt that and saw it in the episode.”

Rock Singer Comes Out As Gay

Per The Blast, rock singer Caleb Shomo recently came out as a “proudly gay man” after 14 years of marriage to his wife, Fleur Shomo.

“This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now. It’s been difficult to navigate the feelings surrounding the subject and figure out what to do with this fact,” he wrote in his heartfelt post.

Fleur broke her silence on the news hours after Caleb went public, saying their years of marriage were “wonderful and full of so much fun, adventure, and love.”

“Nobody will know anything about our marriage like we do. And no one can ever truly know what depths of love exist between two people unless they are those people,” she said. “I already miss it & my husband more than anything. Our story was a good one. And now it’s done.”

An elderly couple in California was found dead in a suspected murder-suicide after the wife had allegedly been scammed by someone claiming to be actor Tom Selleck, according to a longtime friend.

Deputies from the Thermal Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to a home in Bermuda Dunes on May 15 around 12 p.m. to perform a welfare check at the home of Karen Whitaker and Donald Whitaker, according to a news release shared by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.

Upon their arrival, deputies found Karen, 79, and Donald, 80, who were suffering with traumatic injuries. Donald and Karen were eventually pronounced dead at the scene.

Their friend Joy Miedecke later told People that Karen asked some of her friends for money one day before their deaths, claiming that Selleck’s manager’s wife had died and he needed financial help.

New photos show the investigation unfolding at the house where American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were killed, days after their bodies were discovered on Monday, July 14. Pictures obtained by Us Weekly show an aerial view of the Encino, California, home, with police cruisers stationed outside and red police […]

“That was the last straw for Donald,” Miedecke, 81, told the outlet. “He was so embarrassed. He could not believe she would ask her friends to participate in this scam.”

Police found evidence that suggests the Whitakers’ deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, per the release. However, authorities have not said who was responsible for the killings.

“Homicide investigators are still actively investigating the incident and will complete a thorough investigation before releasing a final disposition,” the sheriff’s office said in the statement.

The sheriff’s office added that they found no evidence to lead them to believe a third person was involved in the deaths.

Miedecke told the outlet that Karen began communicating with a person or persons impersonating Selleck, 81, in the summer of 2025. The alleged scammer gained Karen’s trust by using information about her that was available on her Facebook profile.

The scammer first came into contact with Karen after she posted a message on Facebook about a friend who had passed away, according to Miedecke.

“Then, the [scammer or scammers] said, ‘We’re going to come out to the desert and have an event, and Karen, you can be first on the list if you just send $80,’” Miedecke claimed.

Miedecke said Karen sent the scammer amounts of money that gradually grew to thousands of dollars, and her friends urged her to stop sending money. However, Karen – who was potentially experiencing early-stage dementia – never believed she was being scammed.

“She thought it was really Tom Selleck,” Miedecke said. “Nobody could stop her.”

Miedecke reported the matter to authorities and adult protective services workers visited the couple’s home, which was when Donald first allegedly learned about the scam. Donald and the couple’s adult children cut off Karen’s access to financial accounts once they became aware of the situation, according to Miedecke.

While it has not been confirmed how much money Karen sent the impersonator, Miedecke estimated she sent at least $30,000.

Donald reportedly was unable to convince Karen she had been scammed, and Miedecke said he could not cope with their financial loss. “He had said a couple of times to friends that he didn’t know how to handle this and he couldn’t cope with it,” she said.

Young and the Restless has Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) determined to reunite with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). And she might have a ruthless new plan in motion to make it happen that involves kidnapping Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) and holding her hostage until she gets what she wants.

We’re going to talk about whether Patty might have kidnapped Diane so she can use her as a bargaining chip to get Jack to marry her.

Kyle Tells Jack That Diane Is Missing

All right, so this week we’ve got Kyle Abbott telling Jack that he’s worried about Diane. That comes later this week. Something is off according to Kyle because his mom Diane skipped two days of work at Jabot without checking in. And then Kyle went over to see Diane at the GCAC and he went in her room and he saw that her bed hasn’t been slept in either.

So Kyle tells Jack none of this is normal for Diane and he definitely thinks that something is wrong. And last week, Patty sent Jack a big bouquet of flowers with a note saying that Patty’s going to take a step back and give Jack some space. But then Patty’s note also said that she hopes Jack has reason to reach out to her soon. Well, Diane might be that reason.

Patty might think if she gets Diane out of the way, then Jack may assume Diane gave up on their marriage and left town. But we know Diane wouldn’t leave without at least telling Kyle. However, Patty might try and convince Jack that Diane abandoned them just like she did when she faked her death. In Patty’s warped mind, she really thinks if Diane is gone, then poof, Jack would get back with her. She’s delusional, obviously.

Young and the Restless: Jack Says Patty Hasn’t Changed

This week, Patty runs into Jack and asks if he got the flowers. Jack snaps that yes, and he threw them in the trash. And then he just walks away from her. Patty goes running after him to ask if Jack still wants to work with her to take down Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). And he says that Patty didn’t seem interested. And then Jack slams Patty for helping Victor ruin his marriage.

Jack says Patty hasn’t changed. She starts saying she can prove it. And then she brings up that Jack forgave Diane for lying and faking her death. But Jack says Diane was redeemable where Patty’s not. Jack says he still loves Diane. And of course, he doesn’t love her. Of course, this doesn’t faze Patty, who says she loves a challenge and says Jack’s going to be surprised at how things work out. That’s another red flag.

Patty Tells Victor She’ll Be The Next Mrs. Jack Abbott

So, it sure sounds like Patty’s cooking up a big batch of crazy because she is determined to get Jack back. And next, Patty headed over to see Victor Newman and tells him she’s staying in Genoa City. She’s going to be a prominent citizen and she wants Newman’s support. And then Patty doubles down on the nuttiness and tells Victor she’s going to be the next Mrs. Jack Abbott.

And that has Victor laughing right in Patty’s face. He calls her delusional. But she reminds Victor that she already married Jack twice. Now, if you recall, first time he married Patty, he didn’t love her. He was still sleeping with Diane on the side, and he was trying to prove to his dad, John Abbott, that he wasn’t just a playboy. Yet, Jack was late to their wedding because he was in bed with Diane. And the second time Jack married her, he didn’t even know it was Patty.

There was plastic surgery, trickery, and she had a new face and a new name and lured Jack in. So clearly, Patty is never going to give up on Jack. And in her bag of cats brain, Patty is already seeing herself in a wedding gown with Jack as her groom. So, I’m thinking that Patty snatched his wife when Diane was on her way to the mansion to try and work things out with Jack as she had left on a message.

Patty Is Dangerous And Capable Of Kidnapping

And Patty might be keeping Diane somewhere out of the way. My first thought is the Abbott Cabin because Patty was held there once while she was kidnapped. And by the end of this week, Kyle and Jack begin to realize something’s up and that Diane might legit be in trouble.

I’m sure Jack’s going to make some calls to see if anybody’s seen Diane. And then Jack might really think about that note with the flowers and realize, oh, maybe this is what Patty was referring to, the reason that Jack would contact her. The reason being Diane is missing. And yes, Patty is totally capable of kidnapping Diane. Just a little Young and the Restless history.

Young and the Restless: Patty’s Past

Back in 2009, Patty herself was kidnapped, stashed at the Abbott cabin, and Jack’s niece, Colleen, who’s Traci’s daughter, was looking for Jack, but she found Patty instead, and then she freed her. Instead of thanking her, Patty took Colleen hostage, dragged her to a remote camp, and Patty tied her to a tree. So, Colleen was in a panic, she got loose, she stole a canoe, and she paddled out onto the lake trying to get away before Patty found her.

Then Colleen fell out of the canoe. She nearly drowned. She suffered total brain damage. And it was her uncle Jack who found her like that and rushed her to the hospital. At the same time, Patty was running around unhinged and she shot Victor. And then he needed a heart transplant. And Traci relented and let Colleen’s heart save his life because her daughter would never recover.

Young and the Restless: Victor Goes Off the Rails

This is the level of dangerous crazy that Victor invited back into everybody’s lives when he brought Patty to town, and Victor re-energized her fixation on Jack by setting it up so Patty could sexually assault Jack. So, I suspect that if Patty reveals she has Diane, then Jack’s going to take it very seriously because she’s dangerous. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Patty said the price of Diane’s freedom and safety is for Jack to marry her. And of course, he would be appalled.

But yeah, I think Jack would do it, whatever he had to do to keep Diane safe. And I think Patty knows that. And I don’t think she cares how she gets Jack as long as she gets Jack. I’m sure Patty’s got a whole twisted happily ever after scenario in her head for her and Jack. In Patty’s crazy brain, Diane is the only obstacle in their way. Because Patty will never accept that Jack simply doesn’t want her, doesn’t love her, and will never ever want to be with her. That sexual assault on the yacht only has Patty even more convinced that Jack wants her and there’s still something there. And threatening Diane’s life would probably be the quickest way to get what she wants.

Now, I will say maybe Patty didn’t snatch her. Maybe Y&R is doing something really boring as crap, which would be typical. Maybe Diane took an unplanned trip to San Francisco and she didn’t tell Kyle, or Diane decided to take a no phone spa weekend and didn’t let Kyle know or she left a message and it never got delivered.

Young and the Restless: Victor’s True Colors?

But I kind of doubt it because the last time we saw Diane, she left Jack a voicemail saying that she’s still hurt but she loves Jack and she wants to find a way forward. Now, maybe that message got deleted somehow by Patty and then Diane had said in the same message that she was coming to the Abbott mansion to talk things over. That’s the last we saw or heard of her.

So, Patty might have grabbed her, managed to delete the message, and she’s stashed Diane at the Abbott cabin or in a dingy warehouse or even has her tied up in her bathroom in her suite at the GCAC. I am expecting the reveal of something crazy with Jack, Diane, and Patty very soon.

Now, one thing I hope is if she has kidnapped Diane and does something violent to her, that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will realize the depths of depravity that Victor has unleashed and that she will truly understand once and for all that the man will never change. He is not redeemable and he does not deserve Nikki.

Yung Miami has the gals and guys in a chokehold over her new song ‘Spend Dat!’ And while she’s encouraging folks to spend that bread, she’s no stranger to watching her lyrics unfold in real life. Most recently, she revealed that a man once dropped $2.3 million on her in a single date. While she didn’t say WHO went in their Goyard bag to make it happen, the internet is speculating the big spender is her ex, Diddy.

They were sitting on the outside part of what appeared to be the Miami restaurant, Crab Shack, when Lucas asked, “So what’s the most you done got out of a n*gga?

“I’m not gon’ lie, like I had a date night. It was like $2.3 million,” Yung Miami said. She doubled down to someone off-camera, saying, “Like, I ain’t even lying. Swear to God on my kids b***h.”

When Lucas returned from taking a shocked walk around the restaurant, Yung Miami tripled down on the amount. Jordyn responded by saying she’s entertaining the wrong men.

Social Media Mentions Diddy After $2.3M Date Reveal

That particular clip from Jordyn Lucas’ livestream has been going viral on social media. The main question has been: WHO spent $2.3 million? Despite the viral curiosity, Yung Miami has yet to name the big spender. But between her fans and the internet in general, Sean Combs has been a strong contender.

However, what we do know is that before the flood of sexual assault lawsuits, his viral trial and shocking conviction, Combs was spending a bag on Caresha! Here’s a lil’ recap. In 2022, he gifted her a custom ‘LOVE’ diamond chain by the famous jeweler, Benny. That same year, Diddy gifted her a Maybach SUV.

Then, there were the vacations, including adventures on his super yacht. He also aided her in launching her award-winning show, ‘Caresha Please,’ on Revolt, which led to other ventures like her popular card game.

Days of Our Lives brings some hot couple chaos ahead as we head into the lazy, hazy days of summer. We saw Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) in his Marine dress blues looking quite hunky on Memorial Day, and he put Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) in her place when she was trying to low-key flirt with him.

Plus, we have Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) waiting in the wings. And also, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) is spending time with his baby and his baby mama while Stephanie Johnson is in China.

Gabi And Philip Split Up After Corporate Spying Reveal

So things finally blew up in Gabi’s face when sneaky Anna DiMera spilled the beans to Philip that Gabi’s corporate spying nearly wrecked Titan’s future. She reported back to Tony DiMera who took the info about the forged letter from Victor and of course he used it against Philip and Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). And let’s be clear, Gabi did this 100% on purpose because she wanted to be DiMera’s CEO even though she didn’t need it and she already had Gabi Chic.

Of course, Anna was trying to help Tony. But she messed things up. And now he thinks Gabi will assume that he told Philip and that she won’t take the job. Ironically, Gabi does not suspect Tony. She thinks that Theo Carver did it even though Gabi lost her shot with Philip. At least, you know, Gabi will have piles of cash to console herself because Philip gave her verifiable proof that Vivian forged the divorce papers and that Gabi is in fact Stefan’s widow.

Days of our Lives: Gabi Gets No Grace?

Plus, if she wanted it, Tony would absolutely still give Gabi the CEO job. And that would drive EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) off the deep end. But if Gabi takes the job, then there’s no chance in hell that Philip would ever ever take her back. Now, as it stands, I’m not sure he would ever take Gabi back no matter what. So, she may have nothing to lose where Philip is concerned.

The breakup was messy and Gabi got dumped in broad daylight right in the middle of Horton Town Square after Philip confronted Gabi and she finally confessed the ugly truth. Philip even told Gabi that he might have forgiven her if she had confessed on her own rather than being forced to come clean. If you remember, she almost told Philip on that Valentine’s Day trip he took Gabi on to Miami. But then she chickened out and now she’s eating crow. So, we’ve got Philip and Gabi split up. They’re both single and soon things may take a turn for them both.

Theo Has A Crush On Gabi

Right now, she thinks that Theo betrayed her trust and ratted her out to Philip because Theo has a crush on her. And if you remember, Gabi read Theo’s journal that day when he left it at the pub. And Gabi saw him talking about this woman that he was really into, and he just called her G, capital G. So, it’s clear who Theo meant. And soon, Gabi is going to confront Theo about her blow up with Philip and getting dumped. But as we know, Theo never betrayed Gabi’s trust. He’s known for a long time that she was doing dirty work for Tony and then his uncle double-crossed Gabi. And obviously Theo will deny telling Philip because he didn’t.

And I’m guessing Gabi will bring up his crush and Theo may confess, okay, fine, I’m into you. But that’s why he would never betray Gabi’s trust like that. Theo would never manipulate or hurt Gabi like that. And I think she’ll feel horrible for blaming Theo, who’s been nothing but good to her. From there, he may console Gabi over her heartbreak over losing Philip. And we might get a slow-burn romance for Gabi and Theo once her heart begins to mend. I bet we could even see Gabi and Theo enjoying some very personal fireworks by July 4th if they move it along.

What’s Next For Philip?

But the question is, where does that leave Philip, who’s single and may soon be ready to mingle? I could see a couple of options for him. First, there’s his ex, Belle Black, who Philip’s been crazy about for many years. They’ve been off and on. And Belle is low-key annoyed that Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) moved in with Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) while he’s recovering from the gunshot wound.

And of course, Belle had that lackluster zero chemistry date with Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) that seems unlikely to go anywhere. But Belle also thinks Philip’s dodgy over the whole forgery thing. So, it may be a no for Belle on dating Philip again. And he seems committed to leaving Gabi in his rearview. So, I don’t think he’s going back in that direction.

Days of our Lives: Alex and Joy Get Closer?

However, another ex who might soon be possibly available is Stephanie Johnson. Her marriage may be on the rocks soon. She left Alex in Salem while she went to Hong Kong for her brother Trip’s wedding, and she told Alex to spend time bonding with his daughter Kelsey, who he’s supposed to have for his first solo visit. But we know Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) going to come along and she and Alex do some bonding as parents as they care for Kelsey together, according to official Days of our Lives spoilers.

And even though Joy insisted to Philip that she just wants a good life for her daughter with her dad in it, we all know Joy would love to have Alex in her life romantically with them happily hitched and raising their daughter together. Jeremy’s the one who brought Joy to town for just that reason.

And while Stephanie seems to be warming up to the idea of being Kelsey’s stepmom, this could take a bad turn soon because Stephanie could come back from her Asian adventure and decide she’s just not ready. Or while she’s gone, Alex and Joy get much closer and Stephanie doesn’t like what she sees when she gets back.

Days of our Lives: Stephanie is Stressed

The problem is even if she’s annoyed, her hands are tied. I mean, what can she do to tell Alex she doesn’t want Joy and Kelsey around because they’re a package deal and no way is Alex going to be apart from his daughter Kelsey ever again. Bottom line is despite Alex and Stephanie having that sweet sendoff, things could go awry. Did you guys see that heart box Alex gave her? It looked like the Days prop designer went to a middle school shop class with an old phone, some red Legos, and a pine box from Michael’s Arts and Crafts.

And if Stephanie is stressed out about the baby bombshell in her life, she might talk to her ex Philip, who would be more than happy to comfort her. Now, I don’t think that he would actively try and break up his cousin Alex and Stephanie’s marriage. But then again, maybe he would. We all know what he’s done before. Philip just opened up to Amy Choi about faking his death.

And of course, we all know he did that out of jealousy to frame Brady Black for his murder, so that Philip could run off with Chloe. So, never say never. But I think if Stephanie and Alex were on the outs already, Philip would definitely scoop her up on the rebound if he could.

Other Summer Romance Shakeups

I’m also expecting to see Xander and Sarah get closer over the summer since they’re still deeply in love. But just can’t seem to make it work. And that’s going to leave Brady Black out of luck at some point between summer and fall. EJ DiMera is chasing Cat Green. But she’s still hot for Chad DiMera, who is custody agreement blocked from dating her.

EJ’s about to get hypnotized this week and uncover some more memories of him and Cat. That should be interesting. We’re also going to see Jada and Shawn really starting to heat up among some other pairs. So, it looks like a sizzling summer of romance, including some breakups, makeups, and shakeups for several Salem couples.
