Alexander brothers Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander have been found guilty on all charges in their federal sex trafficking case following a five-week trial.

The jury delivered its verdict on Monday, March 9, after hearing testimony from 11 women who claimed to have been attacked, sexually assaulted and drugged by one or more of the brothers between 2008 and 2021.

Tal, 39, and his younger twin brothers, Oren and Alon, 38, face a minimum sentence of 15 years with the possibility of life in prison. Their sentencing hearing is set for Thursday, August 6, with judge Valerie Caprioni.

The brothers, two of which were luxury real estate agents, were convicted on 10 total counts related to sex trafficking, including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, per The Real Deal. (Oren and Tal worked as brokers for Douglas Elliman before branching out and starting their own firm, Official. Alon, meanwhile, worked at their family’s private security firm.)

Lyle and Erik Menéndez are sharing their side of the story — about the crime, the aftermath and their current lives in prison — more than three decades after their high-profile murder case resulted in a life sentence. The Menéndez Brothers, which started streaming Monday, October 7, on Netflix, features audio from interviews Lyle, 56, […]

According to prosecutors, Tal, Oren and Alon allegedly lured women to luxury destinations, like Aspen or the Hamptons from 2008 to 2021 where they — and other men — allegedly drugged the women and raped them.

The Alexander brothers pleaded not guilty to the charges. They have maintained their innocence while denying all allegations.

All three of the Alexanders were found guilty of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and inducement to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity pegged to Oren’s alleged rape of one alleged victim, which she claimed took place in the Hamptons in 2016. (Most of the alleged victims did not use their real names when testifying.)

Tal and Alon were also found guilty of sex trafficking a then-16-year-old following an alleged attack on her in 2009 in the Hamptons.

After a separate woman testified that she was allegedly drugged and rapped by twins Oren and Alon in 2012 on a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas, the men were found guilty of aggravated sexual abuse and sexual abuse.

Tal was found guilty on one count of sex trafficking stemming from the alleged rape of Lindsey Acree, who is one of two women to file a lawsuit against the men, in the Hamptons in 2011.

Additionally, Tal was found guilty of one count of sex trafficking and inducing another woman to travel to the Hamptons in unlawful sexual activity after allegedly attacking her in 2014.

A different woman accused Oren of drugging and raping her when she was 17 years old, claiming he filmed the attack. The jury found Oren guilty of sexual exploitation of a minor in that case.

Journalist Touré did not mince words during his appearance in an ABC News Studios special that aired hours after a verdict was reached in the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. On Wednesday, July 2, Diddy, 55, was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted on charges of racketeering conspiracy […]

“I don’t want their money. I just don’t want them to have it,” one of the women told the jury, according to The Guardian, stating she was the daughter of a billionaire.

During the trial, the Alexanders’ attorneys claimed that the alleged victims chose to testify against them after feeling shame for their alleged consensual sexual encounters with the men.

The brothers’ lawyers argued that prosecutors had little evidence to prove that they drugged anyone, claiming that the lack of toxicology reports, medical reports and police reports at the time backed up their clients’ cases.

Prosecutors, meanwhile, claimed that while only 11 women testified in the trial — most of which used pseudonyms — there were actually more than 60 women who’ve claimed they were raped by one or more of the Alexanders.

Prior to the trial, an Australian woman named Kate Whiteman died in late 2025 after accusing Oren and Alon for rape in March 2024 following an alleged incident in 2012. Whiteman’s allegations were the catalyst that drove many other women to come forward with their own alleged sexual assault cases at the hands of the Alexander brothers.

The Coroner’s Court of New South Wales confirmed to NBC News on January 23 that Whiteman had died a non-suspicious death in 2025.

Amid the Alexander brothers’ trial, Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star Tracy Tutor came forward with a new allegation of sexual assault against Oren.

She claimed in a Thursday, March 5, lawsuit obtained by Us Weekly that Oren allegedly drugged and assaulted her in 2014. Oren denied the allegations.

“Ms. Tutor and her counsel have timed the filing of this salacious and demonstrably false lawsuit for maximum media impact, choosing the eve of jury deliberations in the federal trial despite the fact that the allegations are more than a decade old and have already been aired publicly,” Oren’s attorney Jason Goldman told Us in a statement. “This appears to be nothing more than a transparent attempt to create headlines and taint the proceedings at a critical moment. We are confident the jury will focus on the evidence presented in court, not on opportunistic litigation tactics.”

Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and François Arnaud have released a joint statement condemning “racist” and “homophobic” comments from fans of the HBO Max show.

“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist / homophobic / biphobic / misogynistic / ageist/ ableist / parasocial/ bigoted comments of any kind,” Williams, 25, and Arnaud, 40, posted via their Instagram Stories on Monday, March 9. “None of us need your hateful ‘love.’”

Their statement concluded, “We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side. If you can’t accept that gtfoh.”

Williams later offered some context on the statement — which was also shared by their Heated Rivalry costar Robbie G.K. — in a now-deleted exchange with a fan via Threads on Monday. The fan suggested that Williams had received “severe racial abuse, primarily from François and Connor fans” and claimed that his “no one from the production team and his white costars could defend [Williams] without him needing to cosign.”

“It was François’s idea [to release the statement] and I helped write,” Williams responded to the fan. “I don’t scroll comments so I did not see the hate. I was vibing watching figure skating highlights.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Williams and Arnaud’s representatives for comment. (Williams plays Japanese-Canadian hockey star Shane Hollander on Heated Rivalry while Arnaud portrays American player Scott Hunter.)

Heated Rivalry’s fanbase has ignited intense debate around the hockey drama since it premiered on Crave and HBO Max late last year.

Williams told Wonderland in January that he was surprised by the number of “disrespectful” people within the Heated Rivalry fandom.

“I didn’t think there would be as many disrespectful people as there are. And vice versa, I didn’t think there would be as many respectful people as there are,” he explained. “I thought everyone would just be screaming, nice, or kind of like, ‘Oh my God.’ But there are people who are like, ‘No, let’s be respectful to him and his private life. Let’s not share these photos. When we approach him on the street, let’s be mindful of appropriate times.’ I’m seeing those comments, and that’s cool.”

Williams went on, “Then there are disrespectful people who are just like, ‘F*** that guy.’ And I’m like, holy s***. Why are people hating on me? There’s also all this fake news about me. And I’m like, ‘How do I already have fake news?’”

Arnaud has also been a target for backlash within the Heated Rivalry community. He briefly unfollowed some of his castmates and series creator Jacob Tierney via Instagram in January amid the backlash but soon refollowed them all.

The actor told The Toronto Star in January that a majority of his interactions with Heated Rivalry had been positive.

“In general, fans have been incredibly positive and respectful. For the ones that aren’t, I think it’s a lot of younger fans who don’t really understand the difference between reality and fiction,” he suggested. “I honestly wish they would just rewatch the show, because it doesn’t seem like they got its message. Pay attention more closely. Did we watch the same show?”

Heated Rivalry season 1 — which is based on author Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novels — is available to stream via Crave in Canada and HBO Max in the U.S. A second season is in the works.

Timothée Chalamet first took aim at ballet and opera years before he suggested both were dying artforms in a recent interview.

“I was like, no woe is me thing, but whether you’re working on movies or acting, or pursuing your thing, I started to get the sense that [movies were], like, opera or ballet or something. It’s kind of like a dying artform or something,” Chalamet, 30, said in a 2019 TikTok clip that resurfaced in the wake of his latest comments.

Chalamet made those statements during a promotional screening for his 2019 movie The King. The four-time Oscar nominee cited the cultural conversation around his hit movies Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird as proof that cinema wasn’t fading away.

TikTok user @thealienstookover explained in the caption that they reuploaded the footage to show that Chalamet has a history of denigrating opera and ballet.

Timothée Chalamet takes pride in his work on the film Marty Supreme, but his latest comments about his performance have left fans divided. “This is probably my best performance, you know, and it’s been, like, seven, eight years that I feel like I’ve been handing in really, really committed, top-of-the-line performances,” Chalamet, 29, said in […]

“I took this video October 1st 2019,” they wrote. “I was excited to see this film and we got a surprise appearance of him in our theater. With his recent comments about ballet and opera I wanted to check on my video. I thought I remembered him saying something different. Unfortunately I was confused and he’s been thinking like this for years. Such a disappointment.”

In February, Chalamet ignited debate by seemingly dismissing ballet and opera during an interview with Matthew McConaughey for Variety.

“Some people want to be entertained quickly. I’m really right in the middle,” the Marty Supreme actor admitted. “Because I admire people and I’ve done it myself on a talk show, [saying], ‘Hey, we gotta keep movie theaters alive. We gotta keep this genre alive.”

He added, “Another part of me feels like, if people want to see it, like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they’re going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it. I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.’”

Chalamet seemingly realized the shade he’d thrown because he quickly offered “all respect to the ballet and opera people out there.”

“Damn, I just took shots for no reason,” he joked.

His latest comments have proven to be particularly eyebrow-raising for some because Chalamet’s mother, Nicole Flender, is a former Broadway dancer.

It did not take long for some of the world’s most renowned ballets and operas to respond to Chalamet. The Metropolitan Opera shared clips via Instagram showcasing the skilled craftwork that goes into the creation of every high-level opera performance.

Quoting Chalamet, the Met Opera replied on Thursday, March 5, “All respect to the opera (and ballet) people out there. This one’s for you, @tchalamet.”

“He’s gonna be singing a different tune when the live arts are all that’s left after AI takes over. Oh wait. He’s above singing a tune,” Tony winner Laura Benati quipped in the Met Opera’s comments section.

The Los Angeles Opera took a different approach by encouraging Chalamet to come see a performance of Akhnaten during its residency in the city. Meanwhile, the Royal Ballet in the U.K. posted a tribute to its dancers.

“Every night at the Royal Opera House, thousands of people gather for ballet and opera. For the music. For the storytelling. For the sheer magic of live performance,” they wrote on Friday, March 6. “If you’d like to reconsider, @tchalamet, our doors are open. ✨#TheRoyalBallet #TheRoyalOpera #RoyalBalletAndOpera.”

Chelsea Handler is not a fan of how Timothée Chalamet handled his Marty Supreme press tour. “He seemed pretty serious about winning and getting acknowledged for his great acting,” the comedian, 50, said of Chalamet, 30, during an appearance on the Tuesday, January 14, episode of Amanda Hirsch’s “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. Ahead of […]

Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis, Dancing With The Stars pro Sharna Burgess and popstar Doja Cat have also shown support for the opera and ballet communities in the wake of the controversy.

“Opera is 400 years old. Ballet is 500 years old,” Doja Cat, 30, clapped back via TikTok on Sunday, March 8. “Somebody named Timothée Chalamet — big guy, by the way — had the nerve to say on camera that nobody cares about it.”

The “Agora Hills” rapper went on, “I’m sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody’s saying a word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it. There is an etiquette around opera. There is etiquette around ballet. It’s amazing. It’s an amazing theater medium. It’s f***ing beautiful.”

Chalamet has not responded to the backlash.

It’s no surprise to see Jennifer Garner wearing a look we love. What was unexpected, though, was her outfit’s striking resemblance to another fashion icon we adore, Kylie Kelce. Garner was spotted on the set of the forthcoming movie “One Attempt Remaining,” in a chambray button-down, which she layered over a white top and paired with white pants and a canvas tote.

Meanwhile, Kylie Kelce recently wore a nearly identical, light denim shirt on her Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast. Both stars styled their tops effortlessly, and while we don’t know the exact brand either wore, we did uncover a nearly identical match on Amazon for just $38. If that’s not a sign to scoop up this spring-perfect shirt look, we don’t know what is!

Get the Hersuitful Denim Shirt for $38 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, this Amazon find has a chest pocket, just like Kelce’s pick, and the same sky-blue chambray hue as Garner’s top. It would look great buttoned closed or draped open, and over white jeans or black leggings like both A-listers. Either way, it’s a casual-yet-sophisticated layer that makes for the perfect, go-with-everything spring outfit.

I appreciate the cotton content. It washes up fairly soft, and the thickness is just right,” they wrote.

Other shoppers praised its comfortable, true-to-size fit. “This denim shirt has that perfect casual look I was going for. It’s soft, not stiff like some jean shirts, and the fit is just right, not too tight, not too baggy. I’ve worn it with leggings, over dresses, and even tied it around my waist.
