Tom Cruise has been dealt a major blow after it was confirmed that his daughter, Suri Cruise, has officially dropped his last name in an effort to sever ties with her estranged father.

The pair have had a strained relationship over the years since the actor’s split from her mother Katie Holmes, with insiders previously revealing that Scientology played a role in the estrangement.

Now, Suri has revealed a new identity, reportedly dropping Cruise as her last name in favor of her mother’s middle name.

As reported by Page Six, Suri Cruise has officially cut the cord with her movie star dad, Tom Cruise.

Tom and his ex-wife, Katie Holmes’ 20-year-old daughter legally ditched the actor’s famous last name, swapping it for Suri Noelle.

Public data reveals that the Carnegie Mellon University student updated her information when she registered to vote in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, back in October 2024 during her freshman year.

By signing up under the moniker Suri Noelle, she confirmed that the name change is now her official, legal identity.

According to the news outlet, Pennsylvania courts confirmed that all residents who register to vote must use their legal name, confirming that Suri no longer bears Cruise and instead Noelle.

Suri Noelle Has Been Using Her New Name Publicly For A While Now

No official name-change petition was submitted in Allegheny County, per Page Six, suggesting that Suri’s legal rebrand was likely executed in New York prior to her move.

The college student previously resided in New York with Holmes, where court systems routinely shield name-change filings from public view by automatically sealing them.

Although the precise timeline of when Suri Noelle became her government-recognized name is up in the air, she has been operating under the alias publicly for quite some time.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted the change on the casting sheet for her high school show, “The Addams Family: A New Musical,” which saw her star in the leading role of Morticia.

In another incident, reports revealed that her credit in the playbill for the stage show “Head Over Heels” abandoned her father’s famous last name entirely, listing her strictly as Suri Noelle.

Then, in 2024, when it came time to cross the stage at her LaGuardia High School graduation, the official event program also showcased her new name rather than her birth surname.

Tom Cruise’s Daughter’s New Name Pays Homage To Her Mother Katie Holmes

Although Suri did not take on her mother’s last name, Holmes, her new identity still seems to be in tribute to the actress.

Holmes, who has acted as her primary caregiver for the vast majority of her life, shares the middle name “Noelle.”

Sources confirmed that when the name-drop first made waves, the decision was entirely about honoring the woman who raised her.

“She is showing praise for her mother by using her middle name,” a source told Page Six back in 2024, noting that Suri “wants her own identity” and does not want to be connected to her estranged father, Tom Cruise.

Katie Holmes Spoke About Wanting To Protect Her Daughter From The Public Eye

Holmes, for her part, has spoken candidly about protecting her daughter from negative media coverage, admitting that Suri had been overly exposed to the spotlight since she was a child.

In a 2023 interview with Glamour, she said, “What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her.”

Holmes added, “What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her

“I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent,” she told the publication. “She’s an incredible person.”

Tom Cruise’s Scientology Religion Reportedly Strained His Relationship With Suri

5

Cruise and Holmes’ 2012 divorce is said to have impacted the actor’s relationship with his daughter, Suri. However, his religious affiliation seems to have made matters even worse.

Insiders shared that Holmes, a devout Catholic, made it her primary mission during the split to shield her daughter from the Church of Scientology, fearing the controversial religion would do serious damage to her upbringing.

Once the divorce stripped the actor of any say in his daughter’s faith, he reportedly chose to sever ties completely. The religion allegedly demands that members cut off any relatives who don’t buy into their belief system.

Commenting on the estrangement, a Scientology expert pointed out that the Hollywood heavy hitter has consistently shown where his true allegiance lies.

“Tom has proven over and over again that his No. 1 loyalty is to [his religion] and David Miscavige,” the expert told In Touch in 2024, referencing the church’s controversial top leader.

The insider then added that a decade of radio silence from the actor made it “more and more obvious” that he had “cut” Suri out of his life completely, ultimately suggesting that the young adult “may be better off for it.”

In one snap, Gellar donned a brown bikini with a halter top. She sat on the edge of the boat enjoying the view as she posed for the camera.

“I had my second child. I was on The Crazy Ones. Robin [Williams] passed away, and then I just … I think my world shifted. It was this moment of, ‘Holy s***, things change in a moment.’ For the first time I wanted a break, and I had never wanted a break before,” she said in a March interview with People. “I was so defined by my work and my career that that was the propeller. And I’m so glad that I did, because it’s time I can never get back with my kids.”

Gellar shares daughter Charlotte, 16, and son Rocky, 13, with husband Freddie Prinze Jr.

No one expected a routine rehearsal to end with flashing lights and an ambulance. However, that’s exactly what happened on the latest episode of “DWTS: The Next Pro,” when a split-second mistake during practice left one contestant with a serious facial injury. 

The frightening accident not only brought rehearsals to an abrupt stop, but also ended Natalie Jolley’s run in the competition before she had the chance to perform in the week’s showcase.

Below Deck Mediterranean‘s soiled sheets scandal resulted in a surprise cast exit.

During the Monday, July 27, episode of the hit Bravo series, Luke Brumer told Captain Sandy Yawn that he felt it was time for him to leave Akira One. Sandy commended Luke for stepping aside after his issues with Nathan Gallagher overshadowed their jobs.

Luke didn’t tell the rest of the crew that this was his final charter. Instead, he waited for the tip meeting to confirm he wasn’t going to stick around. Later that day, Luke left the boat but the deck crew had more issues as Nathan attempted to balance his job and life as a father.

Season 11, which premiered in June, featured a franchise first when Luke hooked up with Genevieve Lillie in his shared cabin with Nathan. They moved down to Nathan’s bed and Luke finished in the bosun’s sheets, which he didn’t tell Nathan. Luke also didn’t replace Nathan’s sheets and continued to let his boss sleep in a soiled bed.

“I actually get pissed off the more I think about it. It is so disrespectful,” Nathan said in a July episode about the scandal. “I’m not laughing. Do you want me to go to Captain Sandy and tell her about it?”

Nathan called Luke’s behavior “disrespectful.”

“It’s the fact that Luke hasn’t said anything about this in three days,” Nathan explained.. “He had the opportunity to tell me — and the fact that he hasn’t told me and has gone around the boat and everyone else is talking about it. That’s what’s pissing me off.”

He continued: “It’s f***ing rude because you disrespected me. Now, if you keep up with your job, it’s not gonna end, bro. If you piss me off, the slightest amount, you’ll be [heading out] with your bags packed.”

“What Luke did, it’s potentially a fireable offense. It’s unprecedented,” she explained. “I’ll make my decision on how to handle this after this charter. But in the meantime — because of the severity of the situation — I need to write this report.”

Sandy’s report ultimately went into Luke’s personal file, with her adding, “It’s official. That’s something other captains will see and I hope Luke takes away from this that he should have consideration for your bunkmate. There’s protocols.”

Video games are played for many reasons, whether it be the intuitive gameplay that is so addicting, the immersive worlds that players can explore, or the touching narratives that offer an intimate view of the characters. Games such as Grand Theft Auto and God of War offer these experiences. However, one other reason why gamers play these titles is because of how they look.

The evolution of games is heavily steered in the direction of better graphics and visuals, with modern titles adopting photorealistic imagery. That is why this list will rank the ten most visually stunning video games of all time based on art style, art direction, originality, graphics, realism, staying power, colors, vibrancy, world design, aesthetic, vibe, lighting, and overall quality. To be visually stunning can mean many things, ranging from graphics to visual style.

‘Hollow Knight’ (2017)

There are a lot of visually stunning indie games, and kicking off this list is one of those examples. Hollow Knight follows a little bug strapped with a needle who embarks on a quest to Hallownest. There, it discovers that a plague has crippled the land and turned its residents into parasitic monsters hellbent on killing anything in their way.

Hollow Knight was an incredibly ambitious project, mainly because it was made with a small team and the 2D art was completely hand-drawn. This approach gave it a much more charming style that fans could appreciate, especially since it was so polished. This atmospheric wonder also has parallax scrolling, which gives the world a marvelous sense of depth that further immersed the player in the art.

‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’ (2023)

The Legend of Zelda is known for having some of the best art styles, but The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes things further by beefing up its graphics. When Link and Zelda explore a cave underneath the castle, they find the mummified body of Ganondorf. It inexplicably revives, sending Zelda into the past and the castle into the sky, causing chaos in the land of Hyrule.

Tears of the Kingdom is the perfect balance of graphics, aesthetic, and art style, creating a painterly vibe that feels like something out of Studio Ghibli. Its art direction and cel-shading also work together to create a very fantastical feeling where whimsicalness takes over, accentuating the isolated world taken over by wilderness. From the golden sunlit sky islands to the dark and eerie depths to the quaint and calming mainland, Tears of the Kingdom proves why it is one of the best Zelda games.

‘Journey’ (2012)

Image via Sony Computer Entertainment

As previously mentioned, the indie genre offers some of the greatest and most ambitious visuals in the medium, and one such example is Journey. The player controls an anonymous and mysterious traveller in an expansive desert with only a couple of landmarks. On a pilgrimage to its central and grand mountain, the player will encounter many mysteries, wonders, and unexpected events.

Sometimes, the best art style comes through a minimalist approach, or at least that is what Journey accomplishes. The golden dunes with sand rippling like ocean tides provide a sense of serenity and eerie wonder, aiding the grand adventure and contributing to the disturbing vibe of the game. Journey has a distinct art direction and fluid animation that creates a profound and emotional feeling in the audience.

‘Alan Wake II’ (2023)

Image via Remedy Entertainment

It isn’t exactly a horror game, but Alan Wake II can feel incredibly scary at times, and that just proves its excellence as a thriller. The titular character is a novelist trying to escape an alternate dimension. At the same time, an FBI agent is investigating a murder, but they realize that it replicates Alan Wake’s horror book.

Alan Wake II is a two-headed beast that can instill a sense of dread and wonder through its dual visuals. Taking viewers from the high-fidelity 3D graphics to live-action footage, it is a mind-bending masterpiece of visual spectacle. The rain-soaked forests are stunning, and the neon surrealism of the dark world is captivating, working in tandem to prove Alan Wake II is an underrated masterpiece.

‘Inside’ (2016)

Image via Playdead

PlayDead Studio is known for its creepy aesthetics, and while fans wait for their next game, they can replay one of the most visually stunning horror games, Inside. Controlling an unnamed boy, players try to make their way out of a mysterious mind-control facility. However, they need to explore deeper into the scientific hellhole in order to escape, where they will encounter more horrors.

Inside uses lighting better than any other game, making it both a design technique to guide the player as well as an atmospheric tool to enhance the sense of dread. The visual style of this game isn’t just for show; it is a deliberate design decision. Here, deep shadows, contrasting lights, and muted colors create a unique atmosphere, amounting to a meticulously crafted, never-ending nightmare.

‘BioShock’ (2007)

Image via 2K Games

Every single BioShock game is known for its vibe, but it all started with the ever-iconic first game. Playing as Jack, gamers find refuge in a lighthouse after their plane crashes. But when they descend into the structure, they discover a failed utopia that has been destroyed by political mayhem, spliced creatures, and rival factions. If they want to escape, fans must listen to those guiding them.

When it comes to aesthetic, no one does it better than BioShock, which is critically acclaimed for its underwater art-deco city. However, the decayed grandeur isn’t just for looks alone; it represents the Randian objectivism which it is critiquing, using the vibe and world itself to showcase its failure. Also boasting impeccable environmental storytelling and a compelling visual style, BioShock is a flawless game that is more than deserving to be on this list.

‘Cuphead’ (2017)

Image via Studio MDHR

There are many reasons not to gamble, but Cuphead sums that up with its story and incredibly challenging gameplay. When the titular character and his brother, Mugman, lose a bet to the devil, they are forced to travel across the land of the Inkwell Isles and collect the soul contracts of the Devil’s runaway debtors in order to save themselves.

While its platforming is known to be some of the hardest in gaming history, Cuphead is also renowned for its magnificent hand-drawn art style. Every frame of this game was hand-drawn and inked on paper, which gave it that authentic 1930s cartoon aesthetic that is so captivating. The custom watercolor backgrounds and grainy texture also build a visual perfection that defines the game’s distinct quirkiness.

‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ (2018)

Rockstar Games is known for its ambitious and large-scale games, which usually contain incredible graphics, and Red Dead Redemption 2 proves it. Arthur Morgan is the leader of a cowboy gang, but when he learns he has tuberculosis, he sets out on one last adventure. Searching for redemption in the dying age of the Wild West, he confronts his failure and a world that doesn’t need him.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best character development in video game history, but it has also made a name for itself through its photorealistic graphics and unparalleled naturalism. The Wild West is one of the most meticulously crafted video game worlds, from the rowdy towns to dense forests with spears of light poking through to the authentic falling of snow. Everything about Red Dead Redemption 2 is absolutely gorgeous.

‘Okami’ (2006)

It may have just come up short of the number one spot, but in terms of art style and uniqueness, Okami is definitely number one. The player controls Amaterasu, the sun goddess of Japan, who takes on the form of a White Wolf. When a dark curse is launched on the land of Nippon by an ancient demon, Amaterasu must cleanse the land or risk the country falling into ruin.

Okami’s art style resembles a traditional Japanese sumi-e ink wash painting, which features thick brushstrokes and vibrant splashes of color. This painting-come-to-life is the most beautiful game out there, the closest thing a video game can come to being art. And with a sequel announced at the latest Game Awards, fans will be able to experience its visual prestige once again, which may even earn it the top spot on this list in the future.

‘Cyberpunk 2077’ (2020)

Image via CD Projekt Red/Wallpapersmug

There are many visually stunning video games, so many that it was hard to pick the best, but that honor goes to Cyberpunk 2077. V is just one of many common street punks in Night City trying to make a living, but when a job goes wrong and a cyberchip containing a dangerous terrorist is implanted in their mind, V must search for a cure before they are completely taken over.

It may have had a disastrous launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 has since polished itself into the crown jewel of gaming visuals. Not only are the graphics some of the most realistic and immersive in the medium, but the striking colors of the neon cityscape create a dazzling scene. Cyberpunk 2077 may have a bleak ending, but the visuals are a perfect glamour, drowning the depressing city in fake brightness. The tightly packed design fits in with the themes of the game and anti-capitalist message, highlighting the suffocating yet captivating visuals.

While we’re still in the middle of the summer heat, July is quickly coming to an end, which means Netflix is preparing to say goodbye to a handful of beloved classics, cult favorites, and blockbuster hits.

’27 Dresses’ (2008)

Leaving August 1

Everyone loves a good wedding, right? Well, no one loves them more than Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl), a hopeless romantic who has served as a bridesmaid 27 times, but has yet to experience her own happily ever after. When her younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) catches the attention of Jane’s longtime crush and boss, George (Edward Burns), she’s forced to put her own feelings aside and once again help plan the event she’s been dreaming of for herself her whole life. Meanwhile, cynical wedding reporter Kevin Doyle (James Marsden) sees Jane’s unusual story as the perfect article, prompting him to get close to her for the wrong reasons. But after spending time together, both of their perspectives on love start to change.

While 27 Dresses didn’t exactly win critics over, audiences definitely were. The romantic comedy grossed $162.7 million worldwide against a $30 million budget, proving to be a major box office success. Over the years, it has earned a loyal following and is now considered one of the best wedding-themed movies of all time. If you’re looking for an easy, feel-good watch, this is well worth adding to your end-of-summer movie marathon.

‘Hacksaw Ridge’ (2016)

Leaving August 1

Image via Summit Entertainment

War movies often focus on soldiers who become heroes by taking lives. Hacksaw Ridge tells the extraordinary true story of a man who became one by doing the exact opposite. Directed by Mel Gibson, the film follows Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), a devout Adventist who enlists in the U.S. Army during World War II but refuses to carry a weapon because of his religious beliefs. Ridiculed by other soldiers and nearly court-martialled for his decision, Doss eventually proves his courage during the Battle of Okinawa, where he risks his life to save dozens of wounded men without ever firing a single shot.

Hacksaw Ridge was both a critical and commercial success, earning more than $180 million worldwide and receiving six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Garfield. The emotional and deeply inspiring story of Desmond Doss, Garfield’s heartfelt performance, and Gibson’s gripping direction make Hacksaw Ridge one of the most acclaimed war films of the past decade.

‘Atonement’ (2007)

Leaving August 1

Image via Focus Features

Do you feel like you need a good cry? Look no further than Atonement. Based on Ian McEwan‘s novel, Joe Wright‘s period drama follows Cecilia Tallis (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), two young lovers whose future is torn apart after Cecilia’s younger sister, Briony (Saoirse Ronan), makes a false accusation that changes their lives forever.

As World War II begins, the consequences of Briony’s impulsive, childish decision continue to haunt them, turning what begins as a passionate romance into a devastating story of love, guilt, and… well, atonement. Beautifully acted and emotionally devastating, Atonement remains one of the finest literary adaptations of the 21st century, and one you should definitely watch more than once.

‘Pretty Woman’ (1990)

Leaving August 1

Image via Touchstone Pictures

Some movies simply never go out of style, and Pretty Woman is one of them. More than 35 years after its release, the rom-com remains one of the most beloved feel-good classics, thanks largely to the effortless chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Roberts stars as Vivian Ward, a free-spirited escort whose chance encounter with wealthy businessman Edward Lewis (Gere) turns into an unexpected week of luxury, self-discovery, and, of course, romance. What begins as a business arrangement slowly blossoms into a relationship that neither of them saw coming.

It’s hard to overstate just how big Pretty Woman was when it hit theaters. The film became a worldwide phenomenon, grossing more than $460 million against a budget of just $14 million and turning Julia Roberts into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. She also earned her first Academy Award nomination for the role, making it a must-watch for fans of both Roberts and the rom-com genre.

‘Ex Machina’ (2015)

Leaving August 1

Art has an interesting way of reflecting society’s greatest fears, and while AI has seemingly become part of our everyday lives today, that wasn’t the case when Ex Machina was released in 2015. Written and directed by Alex Garland in his feature directorial debut, the sci-fi thriller follows Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a young programmer who wins the opportunity to spend a week at the secluded home of his company’s eccentric CEO, Nathan (Oscar Isaac). There, Caleb is introduced to Ava (Alicia Vikander), a humanoid robot whose intelligence and complexity soon blur the line between human and machine. As Caleb begins questioning Ava’s true nature, the movie evolves into a tense psychological thriller that explores consciousness, manipulation, and the ethical dangers of creating artificial intelligence.

Despite its modest $15 million budget, Ex Machina became both a critical and commercial success, grossing more than $36 million worldwide. It also won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, beating out blockbuster contenders like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Mad Max: Fury Road. More than a decade later, Ex Machina feels more relevant than ever, making now the perfect time to revisit one of the most realistic sci-fi films ever made before it leaves the streamer.

‘Borat’ (2006)

Leaving August 1

Some love it. Some hate it. But the reality is that Borat is one of the most influential comedies of the 2000s. Sacha Baron Cohen‘s mockumentary really pushed the boundaries of cringe comedy, blending scripted humor with hidden-camera pranks that caught unsuspecting people completely off guard. The movie follows Borat Sagdiyev (Cohen), a fictional journalist from Kazakhstan, as he travels across the U.S. to learn about American culture for a documentary. Along the way, his outrageous behavior exposes prejudice, hypocrisy, and social attitudes in ways that are often as shocking as they are funny.

Borat became a massive box office success, earning more than $260 million worldwide and turning countless catchphrases into pop culture staples. The film was also a critical darling, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, while Cohen took home the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Nearly two decades later, Borat remains as provocative, quotable, and unforgettable as ever.

‘Spider-Man’ (2002)

Leaving August 5

As one Spider-Man swings onto the big screen this summer, another is preparing to leave the small screen. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to revisit Sam Raimi‘s 2002 superhero classic. Starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, the film follows a shy high school student after he’s bitten by a genetically altered spider, granting him superhuman abilities. As Peter embraces his newfound powers, he must also learn that “with great power comes great responsibility” while facing off against the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe).

It’s easy to forget just how revolutionary Spider-Man was. The film helped kick-start the modern superhero boom, becoming the first comic book movie to earn more than $800 million worldwide and proving that audiences were ready to embrace superheroes on the big screen. More than two decades later, it remains one of the genre’s defining films. If one movie isn’t enough, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 are also leaving Netflix this month, making now the perfect excuse to revisit the entire trilogy before it’s gone.

Influencer Jen Hamilton confirmed she will keep her last name despite the breakdown of her marriage to estranged husband Brian Hamilton.

“It’s my name now,” she vowed via Instagram on Monday, July 27. “I made this name special and I’m gonna keep it.”

Jen announced her separation from Brian after “15 years of shared history” on June 15 and has since accused him of living a “double life.” (Brian has not responded to Jen’s accusation, as of publication.)

“Yes, he had a double life with a woman who was 56 years old. Yes, I should have left him way earlier — giving myself grace,” Jen, 35, said on Monday. “I am so fortunate to have the means and resources to leave a bad relationship. There are so many women who are unable to do so, whether from finances, resources, etc.”

Jen acknowledged her privileged situation while promoting her Sisterhood of Solidarity fashion line, which features “girl power” slogans such as “I Survived,” “Choosing Myself Today,” and “G.Y.A.U. (Get Your Ass Up).” Last week, the influencer promised that “100 percent of the proceeds will go to charities that help women rebuild their lives.” (Jen has also promised that all other merchandise bought from her website through the end of August will also benefit women’s charities.)

In her latest video, Jen shared the exciting news that she’d raised “over $50,000” in the last few days alone.

“Is what I’m going through just the most craziest s*** I’ve ever heard of in my life? Nope. It is awful though,” she said. “I love to take something awful and turn it into something good for other people.”

Earlier this week, Jen — who works as a nurse — opened up more than ever before about what allegedly led to the end of her marriage.

“While I was at the hospital, taking care of people, he found the time to have a whole other life. As someone who’s never even passionately kissed anyone else in my entire life, this has broken me beyond comprehension,” Jen told her Instagram followers on Sunday, July 26. “I’m done being people’s PR manager. My kids know, everybody in my orbit knows, so I’m just going to give you the nitty-gritty details so it can give you enough information to be, like, ‘OK, I get it.’”

Jen said that she “repressed [her] own natural human desires” throughout their marriage because Brian allegedly showed little interest in intimacy.

“A direct quote I got [from another woman] was, ‘I knew about you. He talked about you all the time. But I didn’t know you had so many followers,’” Jen claimed. “I’ve never, ever in my life told this man a lie. Even when I was getting next-to-no physical affection whatsoever, I would not in a million years look at another guy like that.”

Influencer Jen Hamilton is in her carefree era amid her divorce from husband Brian Hamilton.

“Secrets and hiding are what I believe made all this possible, so the way I’m dealing with it is by not having any secrets,” she concluded.

Jen and Brian got married in August 2012 and they share two sons, Ellis and Luke.

New allegations surrounding Tom Sandoval’s split from Victoria Lee Robinson are painting an even darker picture of their relationship. 

According to one of the reality star’s longtime bandmates, Robinson allegedly wanted the Ariana Madix treatment and repeatedly threatened to destroy Sandoval’s reputation while subjecting him to violent outbursts behind the scenes. 

The claims come on the heels of the former “Vanderpump Rules” star obtaining restraining orders following an alleged domestic incident.

Tom Sandoval’s manager and drummer, Jason Bader, believes Victoria Lee Robinson’s alleged behavior was fueled by a desire to become the next woman at the center of a headline-making scandal.

Bader, who has toured extensively with Sandoval & The Most Extras, described Robinson as “a fame-hungry, ruthless sadist,” claiming she often spoke about wanting the same level of attention Ariana Madix received after Sandoval’s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss became public.

“She is a very messy person and would be so violent with him,” Bader told the Daily Mail, adding, “She scared me. She will do whatever it takes for the betterment of herself.”

According to Bader, one heated argument left a lasting impression. He claimed Robinson shouted, “I am going to ruin you. I am going to get the Ariana treatment. I hate you. I don’t want to be with you.”

The allegation comes as Sandoval continues pursuing legal protection against both Robinson and her father, following an alleged altercation that escalated into a criminal case last month.

Sandoval Allegedly Spent Months Trying To Avoid Escalating Fights

While the legal battle has centered on one violent incident, Bader claims the relationship had been unraveling long before police became involved.

According to him, the model repeatedly became physically aggressive with Tom Sandoval while accompanying the band on tour, alleging that she punched, kicked and even spat on Sandoval on several occasions.

“She is the worst person I have ever met in my entire life. I have never met someone so two-faced, manipulative and evil. It was sick watching it all go down. I have never experienced anything like it,” Bader told the outlet.

Despite witnessing repeated confrontations, he said he never saw Sandoval become physically aggressive.

“Tom is someone who has the ability to defend himself and physically match up with people because he’s a wrestler. Even when people are getting rough with him, like fans, he wants to de-escalate the situation,” Bader explained.

He also recalled an October tour stop in Fort Lauderdale where security allegedly had to intervene after Robinson became physical with Sandoval.

According to Bader, the alleged turmoil wasn’t limited to Sandoval alone.

He claimed Robinson’s presence on tour created constant tension among the musicians, alleging that she frequently stayed out after concerts, partied with fans and invited people back to the tour bus.

“She was not good at hiding that,” he said. One incident, Bader recalled, unfolded just outside the band’s tour bus after Sandoval began playing his trumpet following a show.

“Tom played his trumpet outside of the bus and Victoria got very angry. She ran out and just started attacking him. She was punching him in the chest and his head. She was kicking and spitting at him, just saying horrible things,” Bader alleged.

Crew members quickly escorted Robinson back onto the bus before more fans noticed what was happening. 

Bader admitted the repeated incidents pushed him to consider leaving the band altogether.

Tom Sandoval’s Court Filing Echoed His Bandmate’s Claims

Bader’s account closely mirrors allegations Tom Sandoval later made in court.

According to documents reviewed by the Daily Mail, the reality star accused Robinson of repeatedly striking him in the face and head, claiming the alleged attacks left him with blurred vision and injuries to his ear and neck. He also submitted photographs that he said documented those injuries.

The filing followed a June 3 confrontation involving Robinson and her father. Surfaced footage from the incident reviewed by PEOPLE showed Sandoval arguing with the pair before pushing Robinson’s father into a brick fire pit. 

Sandoval claimed he was attempting to stop his ex-girlfriend from recording him without his consent when her father “lunged at him.” 

The latter denied that version of events, revealing that he intervened because Sandoval was “overpowering and twisting” his daughter’s arm.

Following the altercation, Sandoval obtained restraining orders against both Robinson and her father. 

Judge Denies Robinson’s Request For Court Protection

After Tom Sandoval obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order, Robinson filed her own petition, accusing the restaurateur of physically and verbally abusing her throughout their roughly two and a half year relationship. 

In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, she alleged Sandoval shoved her down a flight of stairs at his home, pushed her onto a hotel floor during a trip to Nashville, and violently twisted her arm during the June 3 confrontation that ended with her arrest. 

Robinson also claimed her ex-boyfriend shoved her father into a fire pit and asked the court to extend protection to him as well. 

However, on July 6, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied Robinson’s request for a temporary restraining order, ruling that Sandoval’s existing restraining order, granted on June 25, remained in effect and that Robinson’s petition would instead be considered at the already scheduled hearing. 

The judge determined that a properly noticed hearing was required before her request could be granted, leaving Sandoval’s temporary protections in place for the time being.

Journalist Kaitlan Collins is breaking her silence after President Donald Trump continued to attack her looks, comparing her to trans actress Dylan Mulvaney and claiming the CNN reporter needs to smile more.

“I’ve always felt this, regardless of who’s the president … it’s really not about me, and I don’t want it to be about my reaction. If you let it become about that, then it becomes a back-and-forth between the two of us,” Collins, 34, said on the Monday, July 27, episode of The Daily Show. “Instead, I think it’s more important to remind people in those moments when he is insulting me, he is criticizing me … it’s important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non-answers that we get.”

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart pointed out that the ballroom in the Waldorf Astoria was largely silent while Trump lit into her at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Friday, July 24.

“I’ve covered Trump for 10 years so I’ve listened to pretty much all of his speeches with very little exception. I actually think it’s helpful for people to listen to [his speeches] in their entirety, which people really don’t these days. In the room, I was not surprised when he insulted me,” she said. “That happens pretty regularly inside the Oval Office — this was just a bigger venue where it was happening. What was most surprising to me is that the room was filled with a lot of his staffers, his cabinet, his allies, Republicans in Congress. It was so quiet in the room during the president’s remarks.”

Trans actress Dylan Mulvaney is seemingly lending her support to CNN reporter and anchor Kaitlan Collins after President Donald Trump compared the two women during the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Collins’ comments come after Trump, 80, made controversial remarks about the CNN anchor’s appearance at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Friday.

“[Collins is] a young, attractive woman. She never smiles,” Trump said of Collins — one of many instances in which the commander-in-chief has commented on her appearance. “I said, ‘Kaitlan, do you ever smile? Smile. You have a nice position, you’re at CNN fake news, you should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan, just smile.”

The president then made a comment about previously mistaking Collins for transgender actor Mulvaney, 29.

“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I was informed that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can; it was Dylan Mulvaney.” (Mulvaney, a vocal LGBTQ+ activist, received backlash by right-wing politicians and anti-trans influencers for her 2023 campaign with Bud Light in which her face was placed on beer cans.)

Collins hinted that she was unbothered by Trump’s remarks on Saturday, July 25, sharing an empowering quote from the former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt via her Instagram Story.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent,” the quote read as part of Collins’ recap of the celebratory evening, in which she received an award for her reporting on Trump’s infamously contentious Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Mulvaney responded to the viral moment on Sunday, July 26, sharing a TikTok video thanking the president for “reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew.”

That same day, Trump doubled down on his comparison between Collins and Mulvaney by sharing an AI-generated image via TruthSocial of the anchor seemingly morphed with the former SIX The Musical star.

In the photo, Collins’ face appeared to be placed on Mulvaney’s body, holding a can of Bud Light, which Mulvaney did in 2023 to promote her partnership with the brand amid March Madness.

When asked to comment on Trump targeting the reporter and her looks, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Us in a statement, “The liberal media can dish it but they can’t take it.”
