Nevaeh Akira Responds To Jaidyn Alexis’ Comments About Her & Blueface’s Newborn Son

Nevaeh Akira has entered the chat after Jaidyn Alexis said her kids won’t be meeting her and Blueface’s newborn son. Jaidyn questioned the paternity of Nevaeh and Blue’s baby boy, but Nevaeh quickly clapped back in a new video, making it clear that Jonathan Jamal Porter Jr. is definitely the rapper’s son. “This is his baby, b**ch. Hello! It’s his baby b***h.”

Nevaeh also addressed Jaidyn’s shade over naming her son after Bueface, explaining that she had to use his full name if he’s a junior. “Yeah, Jonathan Jamal Porter Jr. That’s him!” She continued, “How the f**k can I take a child’s middle name if that’s the n***a whole full f*****g name.” From there, she called Jaidyn bitter and said it’s okay if she’s mad and hating. “See I’m not a bitter a** b***h, but I get you is. It’s okay, though. Love to all. Love all!”

Social Media Didn’t Hold Back After Nevaeh Entered The Chat

Chile, the comments went OFF in The Shade Room Teens’ comment section after Nevaeh responded to Jaidyn. Plenty of folks said they want better for Nevaeh, while others said they see nothing wrong with her and Blue choosing to name their baby after him.

Instagram user @itsangelinat wrote, “she’s so prettyyyy it’s so sad she wanted to be involved in his ring 😂🤦🏻‍♀️” 

Instagram user @adose_ofhumblepie wrote, “The test results came back is all 😂so she real unbothered about all these comments about blue not being the daddy.” 

While Instagram user @llineriya wrote, “She’s two years older than me and it irritates me because I grew out of this at 19 😭. I want better for her so bad!” 

Then Instagram user @aerielleee wrote, “ngl i agree on the name part 😭😭 like HE IS A JR HE GONE HAVE THE NAME 😭😭😭” 

Another Instagram user @fabi.ashante wrote, “I mean her baby do look the most accurate 😭” 

Instagram user @ariel__202 wrote, “Who she feeling like 😂” 

Then another Instagram user @tinicatoojazzy4u wrote, “That is not a flex.” 

Finally, Instagram user @naaanzz_ wrote, “She Need To Talk To BlueFace Like That..” 

Jaidyn Alexis Doubles Down On Keeping Her Kids Away From Nevaeh & Blueface’s Son

Recently, Jaidyn Alexis spoke exclusively with TMZ and kept it real about how she feels about Blueface and Nevaeh’s son. She said she has no plans for her kids to meet their new sibling.

“No plans for that,” Jaidyn added, “Not anywhere near close by.” 

Jaidyn also said she doesn’t think Blueface is moving right and thinks the name could eventually bother their son, Javaughn.

“I think it’s mad disrespectful that you would name some kid that you don’t even know if yours with the same middle name as Javaughn. It could’ve been a Jonathan Porter […] it could’ve been. But it didn’t need to have all that. So I feel like you’re mad disrespectful to my son,” she said.

Alexis continued to go off on Nevaeh, claiming that her constant videos online are just an act. She also said she believes Nevaeh always wanted to have a rapper as her child’s father.

“All that victim stuff that’s going on […] not going for it. And I hope the world isn’t going for it,” Jaidyn added. “I think she got what she came for. I think she wanted a rapper baby dad and a baby. And now you’re sitting there like, ‘Oh, I thought you were going to change.’ Why would he change?’ He’s been the same for 15 years. Are you stupid or slow?”

Stephen Baldwin left some social media users concerned and confused after sharing an emotional TikTok video of himself crying while listening to Christian music. The 60-year-old actor, who has spoken openly about his faith and decision to step away from mainstream Hollywood, recorded himself listening to Clara Woods’ “This Is the Air I Breathe.”

Baldwin appeared overwhelmed by the song as tears filled his eyes, but he did not indicate that he was experiencing a personal crisis. The video instead appeared to be an emotional expression of his religious devotion.

In the TikTok upload, Baldwin wore a black baseball cap backward as he listened to the worship song and began to cry. “So blessed. So blessed. So blessed. He is the air I breathe #Hallelujah,” he wrote in the caption. He then told his 401,000 followers to “have a great day.”

Although Baldwin presented the moment as a positive experience connected to his faith, several viewers admitted that the unexplained display made them uncomfortable.

“Terrifying per usual. Thank you, Stephen,” one person wrote. Another directly called upon his daughter, Hailey Bieber, to intervene. “Hailey, girl, come collect your father… he’s freaking us out,” the commenter wrote. “Well hallelujah but you’re scaring me, dude,” another person added.

Fans Questioned Why He Recorded The Emotional Moment

Other TikTok users questioned Baldwin’s decision to film and publicly share himself crying. “This is scary,” one viewer wrote, while another asked, “…sure, but why record this moment?”

One critic went even further by speculating about Baldwin’s mental state, writing, “It’s just so hard to tell where the [mental breakdown] ends, and the Christianity begins.”

Despite the public speculation, Baldwin did not say he was experiencing a mental health emergency. Hailey has not publicly responded to the video or the comments asking her to check on her father.

The Actor Explained Why He Left Mainstream Hollywood

The upload arrived shortly after Baldwin discussed the role Christianity has played in reshaping his personal life and career. Earlier this month, Baldwin told PEOPLE that his fascination with Christianity ultimately changed the direction of his life. “Jesus and the Holy Spirit fascinated me,” he said.

The actor explained that he found himself facing a major career decision after playing McManus in the 1995 crime thriller “The Usual Suspects.” “I probably could have pointed myself in the direction of becoming a big star,” Baldwin told the outlet. “But that wasn’t me. I didn’t want to be Tom Cruise, and have to make $100 million at the box office.”

Baldwin instead prioritized his faith and ministry work over pursuing the kind of mainstream Hollywood career enjoyed by some of his contemporaries. His spiritual journey followed several major changes in his personal life. Baldwin became sober in 1989, married his wife, Kennya Baldwin, in 1990, and became a born-again Christian in 2001. He is also the younger brother of actors Alec Baldwin, William Baldwin, and Daniel Baldwin.

Hailey Bieber’s Business Profile Continues To Grow

While Baldwin remains focused on faith, his daughter has been strengthening her reputation as a beauty entrepreneur. Hailey is no longer viewed solely as a model or the wife of Justin Bieber following the blockbuster sale of Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty. The cosmetics company acquired the skincare brand Hailey founded in a deal valued at $1 billion last year.

Hailey remained involved after the acquisition, becoming Rhode’s chief creative officer and head of innovation. The arrangement allows her to continue directing the company’s products and creative identity. Her influence became even more apparent after e.l.f. Beauty reported a 36% increase in quarterly sales, reaching $479.4 million. Executives attributed a significant portion of that growth to Rhode.

“The Rhode acquisition wasn’t the finish line,” a beauty industry executive told the Daily Mail. “It was her introduction. She became someone executives wanted in the room when real business decisions were being made.”

Justin Bieber Is Rebuilding His Live Career

Hailey Bieber’s growing business momentum comes as her husband, Justin Bieber, works to reestablish himself as a live performer. The singer previously stepped away from touring after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022. The condition temporarily paralyzed part of his face and forced him to prioritize his health.

Justin’s return to the stage has generated enormous attention, but the response has not always been positive. His halftime performance during the World Cup Final drew mixed reactions from viewers, while some of his other public appearances have fueled speculation about his well-being.

The contrasting trajectories have placed Hailey and Justin in noticeably different professional chapters. As Justin attempts to rebuild the touring career that illness disrupted, Hailey is strengthening her influence in the beauty industry following Rhode’s $1 billion sale.

When Chris Sails came to the attention of the authorities earlier this month, the situation reportedly took a serious turn after officers received information that prompted an emergency response. What happened next allegedly had law enforcement scrambling to locate his children before investigators determined that the story they were given didn’t add up.

Chris Sails’ Behavior Drew Police Attention

According to a TMZ Exclusive, the incident began on Aug. 16 when the Waller County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a suspicious person who was allegedly running around and jumping onto residents’ vehicles. When a deputy arrived, court documents reportedly state that Sails was sitting in the roadway near a light pole and appeared to be praying. Moments later, he allegedly began rolling around in the street.

Authorities Searched For Sails’ Children Following Alleged Claim

During questioning, authorities allege that Sails told officers his children had fallen into a body of water behind his home. Police then launched an emergency search-and-rescue effort involving fire department vehicles, boats, specialized equipment, and aerial drones. The search was eventually called off after authorities reportedly located the children safe with family members.

Chris Sails Released After Posting Bond

Sails was arrested on Aug. 17 and released the following day after posting bond. He reportedly faces misdemeanor charges for knowingly making a false statement to a police officer and evading arrest or detention. Bonds were set at $25,000 and $10,000, respectively. Sails has built a sizable following online. He currently has nearly 3 million YouTube subscribers and close to 760,000 Instagram followers.

It’s also worth noting that Sails’ current Instagram profile picture appears to show what could be a mugshot, though it has not been confirmed and may potentially be AI-generated. Moreover, it’s unclear how long the image has been his profile photo. And, it’s also unclear whether it has any connection to his recent arrest.

Kelly Clarkson is looking back on her seven-year journey hosting her own talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, ahead of its final episode.

“You know what? [In our] seven seasons, a lot has happened in my personal life and a lot has happened in life for everyone,” Clarkson, 44, said in a YouTube video published Friday, August 28. “There’s been a pandemic. I think, if there’s a word to describe The Kelly Clarkson Show, it’s ‘pivot.’ There’s not been one normal season, I feel like, but at the same time; what a necessary thing to have to come to work and focus on other people.”

She continued, “I think that saved me, honestly, a lot of times [and] I think this show has made everyone better at what they do.”

Clarkson debuted her eponymous NBC daytime show in 2019, one year before the coronavirus pandemic forced production to go virtual. The former American Idol champ later moved the show to New York City in 2023 following her messy divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. (Blackstock died in 2025 at age 48 after a private battle with cancer.)

For Kelly Clarkson, the choice wasn’t about walking away — it was about making space for what mattered most. After months of speculation, the singer revealed on February 2 that she’s leaving her daytime talk show after its current seventh season. “This was not an easy decision,” she said in an emotional Instagram post. “Stepping […]

Clarkson announced in February that she decided to wrap her show to prioritize her family, including kids River Rose, 12, and Remington, 10, she shared with Blackstock.

Ahead of the Monday, August 31, finale, Clarkson recalled her tenure as a talk show host.

“Well, it was brought up to me with my ex and he was like, ‘Hey, NBC was talking about maybe doing a talk show with me,’ and I was, like, ‘OK, that’s the worst idea ever ‘cause I never shut up,’” Clarkson recalled of Blackstock’s pitch for the then-new show’s concept. “You know, nobody really knew my personality to the extent of what it is until The Voice, and I think they saw how comfortable on-camera I am and how, like, I’m all in.”

She added, “I’m very present. I think they saw that and it’s really just me. I’m the same kid at 19 that auditioned for Idol that everybody got to know in the first place. Working with those producers on that show and having to do the little segments here and there and that probably prepped me a little, and I didn’t realize it.”

Once Clarkson filmed the talk show’s pilot episode, she admitted her “ignorance [was] kind of bliss” before producers found the series “really worked” with test audiences.

“Sometimes, a lot of times, I’m just sitting across from people going, ‘How did I get the chance to talk to you?’” she quipped of her onscreen celebrity interviews. “All these incredible people that I’ve really looked up to. You know, Julie Andrews, I’ve talked to her a couple times. Who says that? We’ve literally had people that are in the White House. I mean, it’s been everyone from Heart to Alanis [Morissette] to, I mean, I’ve had Pink on here. I’ve been singing with people that I’m just, like, ‘What?’”

Receiving a yearbook of her The Kelly Clarkson Show memories on Friday, the singer mused how much has changed in the seven years since the show’s inception.

“See, I forget some of these things. And honestly, for me, my kids have grown up on this show, too,” she said. “Like, it’s been seven years, and these are the growing years for them right now. It’s been crazy.”

Celine Dion has yet to share with fans which song she will perform first for her run of shows in Paris as she makes her music comeback.

The veteran singer is choosing to remain tight-lipped about the song, leaving her die-hards guessing about which options from her catalogue she would eventually select.

Dion has been largely away from the spotlight since 2022, when she disclosed her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis.

Celine Dion is set to return to public performances for the first time since 2024, and fans are highly eager to see her take to the stage again.

Her first series of concerts will be held in Paris between September and October at the Plenitude Arena in the French capital’s western suburbs, and the singer has confirmed that she is ready.

However, for her first show, she will be keeping the title of her first song under wraps until she gets on stage, as revealed in a recent interview with French broadcaster BFMTV.

“I can’t say, it’s a big secret,” Dion said of her first song when asked by the media outlet.

Dion Admits She’s ‘A Bit Uptight’ Ahead Of Paris Return

Regarding how she feels about returning to public performances after such a long absence, Dion confirmed that she is ready but admitted she still feels some nerves.

“I am ready, and I’m a bit uptight, of course, because it’s been a long time,” she said elsewhere in her interview.

Still, she is hoping to bank on the support she has always received from her fans in Paris to deliver stellar performances across her shows in the city.

“I have always felt supported from the first day and because it’s a story that continues. It’s true that this is my second home,” the Quebec-born singer added.

Celine Dion Revealed Her Paris Comeback In March

Dion’s return to public performance comes after she announced it in a broadcast beneath the city’s iconic Eiffel Tower to mark her birthday earlier in the year.

“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life,” the 58-year-old said. “I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September! I’m feeling good. I’m strong. I’m feeling excited — obviously a little nervous — but most of all, I’m grateful to all of you.”

The five-time Grammy winner will kick off the Paris residency on September 12, followed by more than a dozen shows, which end on October 17. The singer is also expected to perform 10 more shows in May next year.

Fans who have followed Dion over the years know she has been dealing with stiff-person syndrome, which she first disclosed in 2022.

In her birthday message, she thanked fans for their prayers and also shared a health update to allay their fears about her well-being.

“I’ve recorded a lot of birthday messages, but this is the first time I’ve ever recorded one for my own birthday,” the vocalist shared at the start of the clip. “I want to let you know that I’m doing great, managing my health, feeling good. I’m singing again, even doing a little dancing.”

For Harper’s Bazaar September issue, Dion drew back the curtain on her stiff-person syndrome, revealing she had lived with the symptoms for nearly two decades before receiving a formal diagnosis.

She described the ailment as a “progressive condition,” adding that she felt uncomfortable referring to it as a disease.

In the interview, she also revealed her preparation for her upcoming residency. This includes regular 90-minute Pilates sessions, ballet classes, and a rehabilitation program to help her perform at her best.

Elsewhere, she shared that her comeback was inspired by a desire to show fans how much she missed them during her leave of absence.

Cardi B has seemingly touched on the multiple industry beefs she’s been embroiled in over the years, saying she doesn’t really care as it majorly springs from “jealousy.”

The “Bodak Yellow” singer also rued fame and all it comes with, admitting that she sometimes feels like she “didn’t apply for this.”

Cardi B has been involved in a very public feud with Nicki Minaj, with both of them going so far as to attack each other’s kids. She has also called out her estranged husband publicly, accusing him of spite, jealousy, and theft.

Cardi B is pulling back on the harsh realities that come with her superstar status, particularly the never-ending media scrutiny and the public feuds she has been dragged into.

In a wide-ranging interview with Vogue Arabia, the Grammy winner spoke about her new single “Ah Ha,” which comes with a catchy beat over lyrics hitting back at naysayers who want to see her go down.

“This is for everyone who thinks I’m worried about them. I don’t care about you,” she said when asked who the song is aimed at.

She continued, “There’s a lot of jealousy around me all the time. All the time! It comes from these girls who think I want their baby daddy or that they are equal to me. Also from these guys… From everybody!”

The Hitmaker Admits Fame Comes With ‘A Lot’

The “Wap” rapper was then pressed for her thoughts on fame and everything it comes with.

Cardi B, born Belcalis Almánzar, expressed satisfaction at all the things she’s been able to achieve and how her rise has helped prove many people wrong.

“I have proven a lot of people wrong over and over and over again. It makes me feel good that I achieved things that nobody else did,” she said.

However, she admitted that fame comes with its own toll, which she didn’t bargain for while starting out.

“That’s why they say to be careful about what you wish for because you just might get it. Being a celebrity comes with a lot, and sometimes I feel I didn’t apply for this. But hey, it is what it is,” she explained. “You can’t really protect yourself. You are never gonna be ready for this type of pressure, you know? You just gotta find a mechanism that works for you.”

She added, “But whatever mechanism you decide on, just don’t turn to drugs, okay? I know it’s hard. I know it really is. Being famous is almost like a mental game, but whatever you do, just don’t do drugs.”

Cardi B’s Industry Beef With Nicki Minaj

5

Over the years, the 33-year-old Bronx native has made headlines for several industry beefs and personal issues with her romantic partners.

One of the most prominent of those is her feud with Nicki Minaj, which began almost a decade ago as an extension of the latter’s beef with Remy Ma.

Both ladies initially tried to deny speculation that their relationship had soured after Cardi B performed at Remy Ma’s concert, but in 2018, Nicki Minaj accused her of not showing “genuine love.”

Last year, things went too far as both rappers took aimed shots at each other’s kids.

Nicki called Kulture “ugly” and “a roach & a monkey,” after which Cardi B referenced rumors that her child is neurodivergent, per REVOLT.

“Your hate is so deep, dark and nasty because your son nonverbal cuz you f-cked him up wit them drugs so you jealous of everybody kids and their happiness!!!” she said.

Cardi B Had A Public Split From Offset

5

Cardi B has also had her split from estranged husband Offset play out in public.

The pair were in an on-again, off-again relationship that began in 2017 until the “I Like It” rapper filed for divorce in July 2024, after previously calling off the one she filed in September 2020.

During a 2025 appearance on an X Space, she accused him of being spiteful toward her and their kids.

“I’ve been alright all of 2025. But this morning, motherf-ckers decided to disturb my peace. So since people want to disturb my peace, I’m gonna disturb everybody’s f-cking peace myself,” she said.

In that interaction, she made several allegations against him, including claims he wouldn’t agree to her divorce terms and doesn’t show love to their kids.

The Fiery Rapper Regrets Being With Offset

5

Cardi B went further to allege that Offset and his mother, Latabia Woodward, “robbed” her, among other unsettling claims.

“I ain’t listen after you and your mama robbed me. Yeah, you and your mom robbed me cold, wiped my nose. Told you stop f-cking playing with me,” she said.

The “Money” rapper then explained that she realized Offset was kind of against her after he accused her of being “competitive” with him for posting his album and writing, “I’m next.”

According to USA Today, she also expressed regret over being with him during a livestream interaction.

“Nothing surprises me anymore. You’ve done it all, so I don’t care,” she said. “Thank you for my kids, though. All three of them, I don’t regret none of them. But I regret you. I don’t regret my kids; you’re a good daddy. You’re all right.”

Jason Momoa has two big blockbusters still to hit theaters in 2026. The first is a live-action adaptation of Street Fighter, directed by Kitao Sakurai, and featuring Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Momoa as Blanka. Street Fighter will be released by Paramount Pictures on October 16, 2026, marking the final step in Momoa’s 2026 filmography before his biggest film of the year: Dune: Part Three.

The final installment in Denis Villeneuve‘s acclaimed adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels, the third Dune movie will make its global theatrical splash on December 18, the same day as Avengers: Doomsday. Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides will once again lead a stacked cast, which also includes Momoa as Hayt, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, and more. In anticipation of Momoa’s next two blockbusters, one of his lesser-spotted movies is about to be available for free.

The film in question is the neo-Western Braven, directed by Lin Oeding and written by Mike Nilon and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett, which features Momoa in a kill-or-be-killed stand for survival after a quiet trip to a remote cabin is interrupted by a gang of ruthless drug traffickers. Momoa might be known for his bold, loud performances, but in Braven, he tones it down, producing one of his most subdued and subsequently stirring performances yet. A truly underrated entry into the Game of Thrones favorite’s filmography, Braven will be available to stream for free on Plex starting September 1, 2026.

Jason Momoa’s Latest Movie Was a Flop

Although his first film of the year alongside Dave Bautista in Prime Video’s The Wrecking Crew proved an undeniable streaming smash, Momoa’s big summer movie of 2026 came in the form of Supergirl, which followed last year’s box office success, Superman. Alas, Milly Alcock‘s first headliner as Kara Zor-El couldn’t recreate Superman‘s success, becoming quickly unstuck and whimpering out of theaters with just $126 million worldwide, against a reported budget of $170 million. “Supergirl didn’t meet our box office expectations,” said DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran about Supergirl. “It’s just one component of a broader, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain confident in.”

Braven will be available to stream for free on Plex starting September 1, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Fall is my favorite season to dress for, which makes waiting for the weather to cool down especially difficult. Luckily, I don’t need to break out chunky knits to start wearing olive green, chocolate brown, rich rust and moody florals. A loose, flowy dress lets me get the autumn aesthetic while still surviving an 80-degree afternoon.

I rounded up 17 dresses that strike that sweet spot between breezy and fall-ready, including flowy maxis, tummy-friendly babydolls and waist-defining styles that give you shape without feeling tight or clingy. Prices start at just $15, so giving your wardrobe an early taste of fall doesn’t have to cost much either.

17 Loose-but-Flattering Dresses to Take You Straight Into Fall

1. Our Favorite: If the calendar says fall but the forecast says summer, reach for this flowy mini dress. The wide waistband defines your shape, while the lantern sleeves and olive green shade bring all the autumn energy.

2. Rust Romance: Nothing says early fall quite like a rust-colored dress. The autumnal hue is paired with a breezy tiered skirt and stretchy waist, making it ideal for those still-sweltering September days.

3. Boho Beauty: This breezy maxi dress is about as loose as it gets, but the ruffled neckline keeps it looking pretty rather than shapeless. The earthy green shade also gives it an instant early-fall feel.

4. Visually Slimming: This deep V-neck flowy dress draws the eye vertically, while the roomy draped shape gives you plenty of breathing space. Slit sleeves and an olive hue make it especially chic for early fall.

5. Workday Winner: A printed button-down midi dress is one of those throw-on-and-go pieces that still looks like you tried. The loose skirt and short sleeves handle the heat, while the brown print transitions nicely into fall.

6. Gingham Girl: Stretchy smocking gives this gingham maxi dress a fitted look up top before flowing into a loose, breezy skirt. The neutral checks also make it easy to transition into fall with a denim jacket and boots.

7. Preppy Chic: Crisp collar detailing gives this loose mini dress an instantly pulled-together look, while the tiered skirt keeps things relaxed and airy. Pair the creamy neutral shade with loafers now and boots later.

8. Moody Florals: Dark blooms instantly make this floral mini dress feel more fall-ready, while the lightweight chiffon keeps it from feeling too heavy for warm weather. An elastic waist adds flattering definition without the squeeze.

9. Retro Florals: Oversized blooms give this brown floral shirt dress a distinctly fall feel, despite its breezy short sleeves. The swingy, loose fit leaves plenty of room for airflow on those still-hot September days.

10. Chocolate Checks: The rich brown hue instantly makes this plaid maxi dress feel fall-ready, while spaghetti straps keep it practical for lingering summer heat. The fitted top and flowy tiered skirt also create that loose-but-flattering balance.

11. Waist-Defining: Ruching through the middle gives this floral V-neck dress a cinched-in effect, while the A-line skirt stays loose and easy. Its brown-and-black print does all the heavy lifting when it comes to making it feel fall-ready.

13. Slimming Stripes: Vertical stripes give this V-neck swing dress a lengthening effect, while the loose silhouette keeps it from clinging anywhere. Flutter sleeves and handy pockets make the under-$20 find even easier to wear.

14. Golden Girl: Warm mustard gives this flowy babydoll dress instant early-fall energy, even when temperatures are still firmly in summer mode. The loose tiered shape also means nothing is clinging to your middle.

15. Budget Buy: Bold boho prints make this $15 flowy mini dress look anything but basic. Better yet, the higher waist adds shape before the fabric falls loosely over your middle.

16. Denim Darling: Nothing transitions into fall quite like denim, and this flowy jean dress makes it work before temperatures actually cool down. Its loose A-line cut gives you plenty of breathing room, while the tie neckline adds a little shape up top.

17. Smocked Style: Stretchy smocking gives this floral mini dress definition through the bust before flowing into a loose, tiered skirt. The dark floral print and long sleeves make the breezy silhouette feel especially fall-ready.

A viral video circulating online has sparked outrage across social media after it showed an Arkansas trooper aggressively pulling a Black man from the backseat of a car. The man has reportedly been identified as Tedrick Washington Jr. Now, Washington is speaking out about the incident and sharing how he plans to handle the situation moving forward.

Viral Incident With Arkansas Trooper & Black Male Sparks Outrage On Social Media

Footage making rounds online shows an encounter between an Arkansas trooper and a man reportedly identified as Tedrick Washington Jr. In the video, the trooper appears to tell Tedrick to “crawl out the car” as he sits in the backseat with another person. Tedrick appears to respond that he can’t unlock the door, but the trooper continues yelling and demanding that he “crawl out of the car.” The trooper then appears to yank Washington out of the vehicle by his dreads before continuing to pull him through the back window by his arm. As Tedrick hangs halfway out of the window, the trooper appears to punch him in the face.

Tedrick Washington Jr. Breaks His Silence On The Viral Encounter

While speaking exclusively with The Shade Room, Tedrick Washington Jr. said he willingly cooperated with the trooper but believes the officer used excessive force. Washington also said the Arkansas trooper’s violence and aggression prompted him to pursue legal action against the officer.

Social Media Calls Out The Trooper For Using Excessive Force

After The Shade Room shared the clip of the Arkansas trooper and Tedrick Washington Jr., many social media users took to the comments. Plenty of Roommates said the trooper didn’t need to get so aggressive, while others pointed out that Tedrick clearly appeared to cooperate.

Instagram user @ms_katie_baby wrote, “He was clearly having difficulties opening the door and wasn’t aggressive what was the reason for pulling him by his hair and punching him?!?!” 

Instagram user @attrvktion wrote, “He was on the BACK SEAT and said multiple times that he COULD NOT open the door! For the people who’s going to say ‘he wasn’t cooperating’ or ‘he was the one driving over the speed limit.’ 

While Instagram user @prettyass_star wrote, “His Lawyer rubbing his hands together like birdman right now lol.” 

Then Instagram user @flygirlmimi_318 wrote, “That cop need to be charged and fired he could’ve broken his shoulder or arm.” 

Another Instagram user @lilobama19 wrote, “There was absolutely no reason for this. Senseless violence. Makes me sick. That’s a huge excessive force lawsuit.” 

Instagram user @mik.jefa wrote, “They need to test officers for their level of emotional intelligence before they become someone that ‘enforces the law’.” 

While another Instagram user @shelovecj wrote, “Absolutely no reason for this!”

Then another Instagram user @carmelcutie__ wrote, “This was so unnecessary he wasn’t even moving.” 

Finally, Instagram user @sassye85 wrote, “I’m soooooooooo sick of seeing this it’s like the new norm for them smfh its disgusting.”
