Viral Video Shows Jada West And A Girl Fighting In A Georgia Neighborhood

According to PEOPLE, the physical fight involving Jada West happened on March 5. She got into an argument on the school bus on the way home, per Fox 5 Atlanta. A 2-minute video circulating on social media shows Jada and another unidentified minor girl exchanging words in a neighborhood. The school bus is visible in the background. For context, Jada is the child wearing a tee, white cardigan, black pants and white sneakers. She’s heard saying, “I don’t know why y’all getting off the bus. If that b*tch put her hands on me, imma beat her f**king a**.” That same clip cuts to footage of West lying in a hospital bed. Then, it shows Jada saying she refuses to fight “over some noise.”

Another girl shouts back at her, and West screams, “I don’t even know you and I don’t know your name.” A few seconds later, the girl and Jada West step to the center of a circle of minors, continuing to cuss and threaten each other. After asking each other, “Do you need that?” the girls start throwing punches. Even after falling to the ground, the girls continued to strike each other until others separated them.

What Caused Jada West’s Passing? 

Amid the chaos, one of Jada West’s friends ran home to get her mother after it appeared the 12-year-old began losing consciousness. The mom, Rashunda McLendon, told WSB-TV that she got in her car and drove up to the scene of the fight. When she arrived, her daughter was on the ground and “wasn’t breathing,” she said. Jada West was then taken to the hospital.

Her aunt, Dequala McLendon, said Jada began seizing when they arrived at Tanner Medical Center. She was later transferred to the Children’s Hospital Scottish Rite. The 12-year-old reportedly died on Sunday (March 8) after being in a coma. Fox 5 reports that the family is awaiting autopsy results. Meanwhile, WSB-TV has cited her cause of death as cardiac heart failure.

Jada’s Mother Says Daughter Was A Victim Of Bullying

As mentioned, West was reportedly a new student at Mason Creek Middle School. This was her first semester there after transferring in January. She allegedly dealt with bullying from the start, per her family. Her mom, Rashunda McLendon, told Fox 5 Atlanta she feels angry and confused.

“We have to teach our children. I’m angry. What happened to the love? We lost our love, people. Teach your children to love,” the mom said.

Jada West’s family also told the outlet that they’re confused by the other girl’s presence on the school bus. The other girl involved allegedly doesn’t live in the same neighborhood as Jada did or get off at the same stop.

School District Releases Statement, Local Police Confirm Investigation

On Monday (March 9), the Douglas County School System, which oversees Mason Creek Middle Schoo, released a statement. It extended “heartfelt condolences and prayers” to Jada West’s family. Additionally, it said that student and staff safety is “of primary importance to [the] school system.” The district planned to have counselors available for the students and staff on Tuesday (March 10).

“Any situation that results in harm to a child is one we take with the highest level of urgency. This incident did not occur on school property or during school hours, and there is nothing to indicate that this is related to any on-campus activity. Therefore, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Villa Rica Police Department. To protect the privacy of the student and her family, we are not able to share additional details at this time,” the school district statement said.

Villa Rica is the Georgia city where the after-school fight occurred. Local police is reportedly investigating the incident and reviewing footage along with the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office. No arrests or charges have been announced.

After a controversial purchase by Amazon for a cool billion dollars, it’s fair to say the James Bond franchise is as healthy as it has ever been. But nearly four decades ago, the failure of a single film nearly did what villains like Blofeld and Goldfinger had always failed to do: kill 007, once and for all. That movie was Licence to Kill (1989), and after it became the least profitable film in Bond history, producers put the popular film series on hold until they could develop a movie that would leave general audiences both shaken and stirred.

However, Licence to Kill is an excellent Bond film, and this Timothy Dalton classic only seemed overly serious compared to the goofiness of the Roger Moore movies; these days, Dalton’s more serious Bond fits right in with the more grounded and violent world of the Daniel Craig 007 movies. The truth is that Licence to Kill has been in need of a critical reevaluation for almost 40 years, and that reevaluation starts right now. All you have to do is grab your remote (just don’t grab the exploding one!) and stream this misunderstood spy classic on Netflix.

Some Serious Bond-age

The premise of Licence to Kill is that after James Bond’s friend Felix Leiter (a CIA agent and longtime girlfriend) is tortured and his new wife is killed, 007 becomes obsessed with getting revenge on the attackers. This interferes with his job as a secret agent, and when his boss objects, Bond resigns from MI6 to become a rogue agent. Now, without his titular licence to kill or the resources of his government, Bond must engage in a globe-trotting mission of vengeance, one where a single mistake could easily cost him his life. 

The cast of Licence to Kill has some familiar Bond faces in it, including Desmond Llewelyn as Q, 007’s faithful tech guru. Similarly, Robert Brown reprises his familiar role as M, and Caroline Bliss returns to once again play Moneypenny alongside Dalton’s Bond. Most surprisingly, David Hedison returns to play Felix Leiter for the first time in 16 years; he previously played the plucky CIA agent in Live and Let Die.

A Cast Full Of Surprises

There are some other pleasant surprises in the cast (including Benicio del Toro in a minor role), but the real highlight here is Timothy Dalton, who gives his James Bond more of the brooding intensity found in the original books by Ian Fleming. He spends more time cracking heads than cracking jokes, and he takes very clear pleasure in doling out pain to some of the worst people in the planet. In this way, Dalton is a very interesting precursor to Daniel Craig, whose era as Bond was famous for its more grim and gritty portrayal of 007.

License to Kill ended up earning $156.1 million against a budget of $32 million, which may seem like a solid profit on paper. However, after accounting for inflation, this was actually the least successful Bond movie ever made, one that featured strong competition from various box office bangers like Batman, Ghostbusters II, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the latter featuring original 007 actor Sean Connery. Because of this, producers took a break from making new Bond films for a few years before reinvigorating the franchise with GoldenEye (which starred Pierce Brosnan as a more affable secret agent) in 1995.

Shaken, Stirred, And Bleeding

When Licence to Kill came out, reviewers found it as enjoyable as a ride in an Aston Martin. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 79 percent rating, with critics praising Timothy Dalton’s Bond as more intense than any incarnation of the character we had seen before. While noting that his intensity and the film’s much darker tone may not be everyone’s cup of tea (or martini), the critics also praised this Bond film for a variety of chase and fight scenes that reliably keep you on the edge of your seat.

As the critics hinted at, how much you enjoy Licence to Kill will largely depend on what you want out of a James Bond film. Sean Connery originally transformed Bond’s more dour literary character into a lighthearted secret agent who was more interested in cracking dry jokes and bedding beauties than dispensing violence. By contrast, Dalton’s Bond is on a mission of righteous rage, and this permeates the mostly grim tone of an action film as unforgiving as it is unrelenting.

I’m also a big fan of the Ian Fleming Bond novels, and until Casino Royale came along, Licence to Kill was the only film in the franchise to capture the spirit of those books. In Fleming’s novels, 007 is not a flamboyant secret agent; rather, he is a cold and calculating government killer who can get surprisingly emotional when something bad happens to someone he cares about. In this sense, Dalton’s Bond is very book accurate, as he’s willing to forsake his entire career and risk multiple international incidents in order to avenge his friend.

The Darker Side Of 007

Personally, I’ve always found the darker tone of License to Kill part of its charm: it’s unlike any of the 007 films before Daniel Craig began playing Bond, and it’s actually better than most films in the Craig era. Plus, I found Roger Moore far too goofy as Bond, so I appreciated the seriousness of Dalton as a kind of course correction for the franchise. He wasn’t what ‘80s audiences wanted to see on the big screen, but now that Craig made the idea of a very serious Bond popular again, more and more fans of the franchise have rediscovered the joys of Dalton’s stone-cold killer version of 007 in Licence to Kill.

Licence to Kill nearly destroyed one of the most beloved movie franchises of all time, but beneath its bad reputation hides one of the best James Bond movies ever made. To discover what happens when Bond ditches the license but never stops killing, all you have to do is stream this blockbuster spy thriller on Netflix. You might not be all that shaken or stirred, but trust me: you’ll be seriously entertained from beginning to end!

Prime Video and Netflix don’t often let premium shows go free, which is why this move lands like an industry tell: the feel-good travel series that’s spent eight seasons as an easy comfort watch is preparing to widen the funnel beyond the paywall.

As per a new report, this is a strategic partnership between Phil Rosenthal’s Lucky Bastards banner and Banijay Americas/Banijay Rights, explicitly aimed at expanding the brand “across the digital ecosystem.” The plan isn’t just to dump episodes online; it’s to build a hub: a dedicated Phil Rosenthal World presence, plus a slate of short-form content built around the show, with additional exploration into AVOD/FAST distribution. In other words, the show’s future isn’t “leaving streaming,” it’s becoming a multi-platform franchise with YouTube as the center of gravity.

The title is Somebody Feed Phil and it’s designed for shareability, big smiles, low-stress storytelling, and the simple thesis that food is a shortcut to community. But its distribution has still lived inside subscription logic. New episodes will now be made available non-exclusively on the Phil Rosenthal World YouTube channel in 2027, while the last eight seasons willremain available on Netflix. Rosenthal framed the philosophy plainly, saying he loved that Everybody Loves Raymond (the beloved sitcom that Rosenthal himself created) was “free to watch everywhere,” and that YouTube lets the show’s message of “family, friendship, food, travel and laughs” reach the most people. It’s a rare reverse-migration though. Premium TV choosing mass free access? Exactly why this news is bigger than a platform switch.

Why This YouTube Move Is Bigger Than You May Think

The real value in this deal isn’t just that Somebody Feed Phil will be free — it’s that Rosenthal is turning a Netflix show into a platform-driven franchise. Under the Banijay partnership, YouTube becomes the central hub, which means the series can live in multiple formats at once: full episodes for traditional viewing, plus short-form spinouts designed for discovery, sharing, and algorithmic reach. That’s a meaningful strategic reversal: Netflix usually acquires YouTube-native hits; here, a premium Netflix brand is deliberately expanding outward. And these guys might just become the flagbearer for other similar shows to follow suit.

It also opens the door to AVOD/FAST expansion, free, ad-supported distribution that could keep the show circulating even when subscribers churn, while the existing eight seasons stay on Netflix as the “deep library” for binge completion.

Somebody Feed Phil is available to watch on Netflix, and new episodes will be released on YouTube in 2027. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Mother is officially mothering. After years of fan casting, endless tweets, and a frankly unbeatable amount of collective internet manifesting, Kathryn Hahn has now confirmed that she’s playing Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action Tangled. Earlier reports had Hahn merely “in talks,” but that has now shifted, with her casting effectively confirmed through her own social media update.

Development on Tangled quietly picked back up late last year, and at one stage Scarlett Johansson was being eyed for the role of Gothel. That version never came together, though, and once Johansson moved on to the upcoming reboot of The Exorcist, fans immediately started pushing Hahn as the obvious replacement. Back in January, the trade reports only had her in negotiations. Now, that dream casting has become the real thing. Sometimes the most obvious casting is the best one.

Disney has already locked in its two leads, with Teagan Croft set to play Rapunzel and Milo Manheim playing Flynn Rider. Behind the camera, Michael Gracey remains attached to direct, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson writing the script. The project is being produced by Kristin Burr under Burr! Productions, with Lucy Kitada serving as executive producer.

Is ‘Tangled’ Worth Watching?

The original animated film, released in 2010, grossed nearly $592 million worldwide and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song with “I See the Light,” featuring music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater. Collider’s review added:

“In the end, Tangled makes for a tasty smoothie that utilizes freshly picked ideas from Greno and Howard, while the classic storyline of discovery and adventure provide the usual vanilla standbys. There are exciting twists and turns when the film works, and the few pitfalls in the clashing tones of the characters aren’t enough to keep the ball from rolling. While Disney may not have the dominating foothold on animated films like they used to, if they continue to make films with this much heart and fun there is no doubt they can remain viable in this increasingly competitive genre.”

Tangled is streaming on Disney+. Stay tuned for more on the upcoming live-action adaptation.
