From ‘M*A*S*H’ to ‘Happy Days,’ These ’70s Sitcoms Are Truly Timeless
Before the 1960s gave way to the 1970s, sitcoms were generally seen as an escape from the turbulent reality of the decade. At a time of civil and international unrest, we had sitcoms such as The Andy Griffith Show still showing us what America was, wholesome and down-to-earth. But going into the 1970s, show creators could no longer showcase that Andy and Opie vibe in a truthful way. Social change was afoot, whether people liked it or not, and sitcoms of the decade began to reflect that change.
Whereas sitcoms of the ’50s and ’60s featured women who largely stayed at home and took care of the kids and the home, the ’70s featured a proud single woman putting her career first. Instead of the occasional African American, we had an entire Black family who showed suburban America that life in the inner cities at the time was no picnic. To punctuate how uncomfortable societal change was to those who were used to the peace and tranquility of the ’50s, the ’70s brought us a sitcom about a grumpy old man who longed for the “good old days.” Sitcoms of the ’70s aimed to be daring, a vehicle for how American society truly was, not what it once was; and that made some of the decade’s biggest shows truly timeless to this very day.
1
‘Happy Days’ (1974–1984)
While sitcoms in the ’70s leaned hard into the social changes of the decade, there was a segment of the TV viewer who longed for the days sitcoms were sanitized. Enter Happy Days, created by Gary Marshall, Happy Days saw a market in giving viewers the scenes of a time that once was, when kids hung out at the diner and the coolest kid dressed and acted like Fonzie (Harry Winkler).
Happy Days fostered the ideal view of what the 1950s were all about, and it kick-started the ’50s nostalgia craze, and it certainly was more family-friendly than most sitcoms of the decade. With Happy Days winning over audiences with its unflinching nostalgia, it brought the apolitical, clean-cut sitcom back into vogue, which would become a staple of shows in the 1980s. Happy Days is timeless because it was a prime example of escapism TV, a bit rebellious, yet harmless.

‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ (1970–1977)
In the 1960s, Mary Tyler Moore was the lovable housewife on The Dick Van Dyke Show, fitting the common character trope for women in the ’50s and ’60s. While women did land starring roles in sitcoms, they were always the sidekick to the husband, and presenting to America that women cared more about taking care of the home than chasing a career. Then the calendar flipped to the ’70s, and Mary Tyler Moore was done being a housewife.
Premiering in 1970, The Mary Tyler Moore show presented a different kind of woman, one that was more career-focused than home-focused. The show redefined how women were portrayed on TV, tackling such issues as feminism, equal pay, and gay rights through fascinating characters rather than preaching to the audience. Not only that, but The Mary Tyler Moore Show was also the first successful workplace sitcom, in which the sitcom was mainly set within Mary Richard’s workplace, with her co-workers just as important to the show as Mary herself. In the end, The Mary Tyler Moore Show cemented its status as a timeless sitcom of the decade.

‘Sanford and Son’ (1972–1977)
In the 1970s, a major cultural shift was happening on the television landscape. Instead of the landscape being mainly white, television finally wised up to the fact that African Americans had stories that needed to be told as well. Enter the late Norman Lear, who, alongside Bud Yorkin, created Sanford and Son, the pioneering sitcom that focused on the working-class life of African Americans.
Starring comedian Red Foxx, the show followed a father and son who ran their own business in South Central Los Angeles. In some respects, Sanford and Son was the Black version of All in the Family, although it wasn’t nearly as bigoted as that famous show (more on this later). It was bold, brash, and unapologetic, and it also broke down barriers. It showed TV executives that African American leads could rake in Nielsen success. Sanford and Son wasn’t just a success in Black homes, it achieved something that few thought it could at the time, crossover success, thanks to its edgy comedy, mainly provided by Foxx. Sanford and Son‘s legacy is very much secured, a timeless sitcom that had a major impact on the sitcom genre as a whole.

‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ (1978–1982)
As soon as you read the title of this entry, you immediately thought of the iconic theme song, didn’t you? Of course, you did, and who could blame you if you’re humming it now. But WKRP in Cincinnati was a lot more influential beyond that famous theme song. The sitcom was iconic in its character-driven ensemble cast, and it further cemented the workplace sitcom as a major part of the genre’s base.
WKRP in Cincinnati was a timeless sitcom in the fact that it was a very real depiction of the radio business. I feel like a lot of readers may not know this, but the main plot followed the station as it transitioned from Top 40 to rock to lift sagging ratings, and the station’s DJs having to adapt to the change in formats, with hilarious results. Radio stations suddenly changing formats is a real thing, and WKRP in Cincinnati captured the struggle that comes with having to switch formats, especially as a small business. This was one of those sitcoms that actually got more popular in syndication, which makes it timeless thanks to its perfect blend of humor and workplace social commentary.

‘M*A*S*H’ (1972–1983)
While the “dramedy” sitcom has become quite commonplace on television today, it was nuanced in the 1970s. Before M*A*S*H premiered in 1972, sitcoms followed a general script: introduce a problem the main protagonists had to solve, keep the audience laughing, and make sure everything was solved at the end of each episode. That all changed with M*A*S*H, which refused to follow the same sitcom tropes, and pioneered the dramedy, which blended the intense drama that comes with war, with traditional sitcom humor.
By molding serious subject matter with humor, it formed an whole new subgenre that would later become a staple within the sitcom genre. Make no mistake, M*A*S*H was very much aware of the social upheaval that was happening during the time. The sitcom reflected the anti-war sentiment of the decade, realistically showing the changing views of morality and conflict. As much as M*A*S*H had heavy dramatic moments, it certainly didn’t let you forget that it had comedy as well, creating a timeless classic that many sitcom fans will forever remember.

‘Good Times’ (1974–1979)
With Sanford and Son breaking down the door for black-led sitcoms, Norman Lear went to work creating his next big hit surrounding the plight of an inner-city Black family. This time, he teamed up with Eric Monte to create one of the decade’s most timeless sitcoms, Good Times. While Sanford and Son provided edgy, rapid-fire jokes, Good Times was a family sitcom that, for the first time, featured a Black household that had two parents, the tough and caring James Evans (John Amos) and the loving but stern Florida Evan (Esther Rolle).
Despite their seemingly dire financial situation, the Evans proved that as long as you had fight and family, you could get through any challenge, and the Evans family certainly went through challenges. The sitcom was mirrored into what society was like for Black families, but it also made sure to show its resilience. And, we can’t talk about Good Times without mentioning J.J. Evans (Jimmy Walker), James and Florida’s eldest child who became the breakout star of the series with his trademark catchphrase “Dyn-o-mite!” Despite some iffy seasons after Amos left the series, Good Times is still an influential sitcom with a very, very catchy theme song. Oh, and for what it’s worth, that final lyric in the theme was “hanging in a chowline.” You’re welcome.

‘All in the Family’ (1971–1979)
“Those were the days.” You can hear the theme song that the Bunkers were wishing for the “good old days” to come back after a decade of social change. Let’s be real for a second — a sitcom like All in the Family would be cancelled in a heartbeat, as modern audiences would probably be repulsed with the main protagonist being classified as a “lovable bigot.” But, what many modern audiences would miss is how Norman Lear, the show’s creator, used the Bunker family to tell raw, socially relevant storylines.
In a sense, All in the Family was the anti-Happy Days. There was no lighthearted escapism celebrating nostalgia. This was a show that broke taboos and showed, in an unflinching way, the struggle between an American culture that was changing and the older generation that was struggling to adapt to the changing times. All in the Family showed the sitcom world that it could tell relevant social commentary without the fluff, and still be humorous in the process. The ’70s sure were the days, weren’t they?

Awards shows have always walked a tightrope between spectacle and control. The recent BAFTA Awards broadcast controversy, however, shows what happens when that balance slips, and why networks heading into Oscars season should be paying very close attention.
What unfolded during the ceremony exposed something structural about modern awards telecasts: when editorial standards appear uneven, even unintentionally, the broadcast itself becomes the story. At a time when these shows are already under intense scrutiny, consistency isn’t just a technical goal — it’s the foundation of viewer trust.
The Slur Airing Raises Questions About Broadcast Safeguards
The most immediate backlash followed the BBC’s delayed airing of the BAFTAs, during which a racial slur shouted by an audience member remained in the final broadcast. The outburst came from Tourette’s advocate John Davidson, whose condition can include involuntary vocal tics. Host Alan Cumming had warned viewers during the ceremony that such language could occur and stressed that the symptoms were not intentional.
The BBC later apologized, saying the moment should have been removed before transmission. Producers reportedly did not hear the slur while monitoring the feed from the production truck, even though other instances of strong language were successfully edited out. From a broadcast perspective, the issue isn’t about Davidson’s intent. According to accounts, the outburst was involuntary. The larger question is procedural: If a two-hour delay exists specifically to catch unpredictable moments, how did something this significant slip through?
Tape delays are built on a simple promise — that there is a safety net. When that net visibly fails, even once, it invites scrutiny about how reliable the system really is, and in an awards-show environment, perception matters almost as much as process. There was real damage done with that slur slipping through, prompting responses from award winners. Oscar-winning Sinners production designer Hannah Beachler described the situation as “almost impossible,” but said the impact on Black attendees was real, noting that racial slurs were heard multiple times that night, including one directed at her after the ceremony. What appeared to frustrate some in the room even more was the response that followed. Beachler specifically criticized what she characterized as a “throw-away apology of ‘if you were offended,’” a line that highlighted how quickly a technical broadcast issue can evolve into a broader credibility problem.
Cutting Political Speech Creates a Perception Problem
The conversation might have remained narrowly focused on a missed edit if not for what viewers noticed next. Filmmaker Akinola Davies Jr.’s acceptance speech, which concluded with a brief political statement referencing Palestine, was removed from the BBC broadcast. To be clear, the BAFTAs telecast is routinely trimmed for time, and political remarks are not immune to those edits, but a racial slur left audible while a clearly delivered political line was cut became part of the public debate.
Even if the two decisions were made for entirely separate reasons, the contrast created the appearance of selective enforcement, and on broadcast television, appearances can be just as consequential as intent. This isn’t fundamentally a question about whether political speech belongs in awards shows; networks have long exercised editorial judgment over what makes the final cut. The complication arises when audiences can’t easily see the logic behind those decisions. Neutrality depends on consistency; when viewers perceive uneven application of standards, the editorial process itself starts to look subjective, whether it is or not.
Why the Oscars and Other Telecasts Should Pay Attention
If there’s a forward-looking takeaway from the BAFTAs situation, it’s this: the margin for editorial ambiguity is shrinking. Modern awards shows are global, heavily clipped, and instantly dissected online. Every bleep, every cut, every missed moment now travels far beyond the original broadcast window, which raises the stakes for clarity around how decisions are made.
For major telecasts like the Oscars, the lesson isn’t about avoiding every possible misstep — that’s unrealistic in live-event television. The real priority is transparency and consistency. Viewers are generally forgiving of honest mistakes. They are far less forgiving when the rules behind the broadcast feel opaque.
That means clearly defined delay protocols, consistent editing standards, and faster visible corrections when something slips through. Without those guardrails, even routine editorial choices risk becoming flashpoints. Awards shows thrive when the focus stays on the winners, the speeches, and the spectacle. When the conversation shifts to broadcast decisions instead, credibility starts to erode at the edges.
For broadcasters heading into the Oscars and beyond, this controversy offers a useful — and timely — reminder. Viewers don’t expect perfection; they do, however, expect the rules to make sense, and when they stop making sense, trust has a way of slipping out of frame until it’s nonexistent.
Maria Shriver is opening up about the unique connection she had with the late Eric Dane.
“Eric bravely shared his ALS diagnosis with the world over this past year. He advocated for increased research and showed up in every way he could to focus our attention on this devastating neurological disease,” Shriver, 70, wrote in the Sunday, February 22, edition of her Sunday Paper. “My team at The Open Field was honored when Eric chose our imprint to publish his memoir. He told me he wanted to write his book to share his story with the world.”
Shriver’s Penguin Random House publishing imprint, The Open Field, announced in December 2025 that Dane’s book, titled Book of Days: A Memoir in Moments, would hit shelves in 2026.
According to Shriver, she was engaged in ongoing conversations with Dane about the project up until his death on Thursday, February 19.
Celebrities are paying tribute to Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane after his death at age 53. Alyssa Milano, Ashton Kutcher and Maria Shriver led the tributes via social media as stars reacted to the tragic loss. Dane’s family confirmed his death on Thursday, February 19, in a statement to Us Weekly. “With heavy hearts, we […]
“He wrote it so that his family had something to be proud of,” she wrote. “Eric and I were scheduled to have lunch two weeks ago, but he wasn’t feeling well that morning, so we rescheduled for next week. His passing is another powerful reminder that today is all any of us have. Next week isn’t guaranteed.”
According to a press release, Dane’s book invites readers to “consider their own time and how, amidst the noise and chaos of everyday life, we can learn to celebrate the days that matter the most.”
“I wake up every morning, and I’m immediately reminded that this is real — this illness, this challenge and that’s exactly why I’m writing this book,” Dane said in a statement to People in December 2025. “I want to capture the moments that shaped me — the beautiful days, the hard ones, the ones I never took for granted — so that if nothing else, people who read it will remember what it means to live with heart. If sharing this helps someone find meaning in their own days, then my story is worth telling.”
News broke on Thursday that Dane had died at the age of 53 following a courageous battle with ALS.
In a statement to Us Weekly, the family said the Grey’s Anatomy actor spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife [Rebecca Gayheart], and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia.
“Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight,” the statement read. “He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”
Since Dane’s death, a GoFundMe page has been launched in support of his family. Hailey Bieber and Brad Falchuk are just some of the stars who have donated.
“Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability during this incredibly difficult time and in the future for Eric’s wonderful daughters,” the page stated. “Thank you.”
Zachery Ty Bryan
Sentenced to Over A Year in jail for DUI
Published
Zachery Ty Bryan is headed to jail for 16 months stemming from a 2024 DUI arrest — and this time, he’s not walking away with probation.
The former “Home Improvement” star was rearraigned this morning after striking a plea deal with prosecutors. He pled guilty to DUI and admitted to an enhancement for driving with a BAC of 0.15% or higher — nearly double the legal limit of .08.
Court docs show Bryan also admitted to having two prior DUI convictions, putting him in even hotter water. If he ever gets hit with a fourth, the penalties only get harsher.
The judge wasn’t in a forgiving mood — probation was denied, and Bryan was sentenced to 16 months in county jail with credit for 57 days served.
He’s not out of the woods after serving this stretch — he’ll have to face out-of-county warrants once he finishes his time.
According to online records, Bryan was originally booked by La Quinta Police in 2024 for driving under the influence with three or more priors. He was also booked on a misdemeanor contempt of court charge.
It’s just the latest chapter in a growing list of legal troubles that have followed Bryan in recent years.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver and former Purdue standout Rondale Moore’s cause of death has been released.
Moore died by suicide on Saturday, February 21, New Albany police Chief Todd Bailey told Us Weekly on Monday, February 23.
“Due to consideration for Moore’s family we are not releasing specific case information,” Bailey added.
Moore was found dead in his New Albany, Indiana, home on Saturday.
A native of New Albany, Moore was in the process of working his way back onto the field after suffering a season-ending injury during a Vikings preseason game in August 2025.
“I am devastated by the news of Rondale’s death,” Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said in a statement. “While Rondale had been a member of the Vikings for a short time, he was someone we came to know well and care about deeply. He was a humble, soft-spoken, and respectful young man who was proud of his Indiana roots.”
O’Connell, 40, added, “As a player, he was disciplined, dedicated and resilient despite facing adversity multiple times as injuries sidelined him throughout his career. We are all heartbroken by the fact he won’t continue to live out his NFL dream, and we won’t all have a chance to watch him flourish. My prayers are with Rondale’s family, friends, teammates and coaches as we all deal with this tragic news.”
Moore signed with the Vikings during the 2025 offseason. He was forced to miss the entire 2024 season after suffering a dislocated right knee during his tenure with the Atlanta Falcons.
Prior to his NFL career, Moore was a star with the Purdue Boilermakers. At the end of his freshman season in 2018, he was the recipient of the Paul Hornung Award, presented to the most versatile player in all of college football.
Though his sophomore and junior years were hampered by injuries, his lasting impact in West Lafayette was undeniable.
“Rondale Moore was a complete joy to coach,” said Jeff Brohm, Moore’s head coach at Purdue. “The ultimate competitor that would never back down to any challenge. Rondale has a work ethic that was unmatched by anyone. A great teammate that would come through in any situation.”
Brohm, 54, continued, “We all loved Rondale and we loved his smile and competitive edge that always wanted to please everyone he came in contact with. We offer all of our thoughts and prayers to Rondale and his family, and we love him very much!!!”
The NFL community remembered Moore after his sudden death, including his former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.
“Just spoke to you bro,” Murray, 28, shared via his Instagram Story. “Blessed to have been able to share this life with you. I pray you’re in a better place now Ra…🕊️.”
J.J. Watt, Moore’s former teammate in Arizona, wrote via X, “Can’t even begin to fathom or process this. There’s just no way. Way too soon. Way too special. So much left to give. Rest in Peace Rondale.

A report has alleged that police were called to Ray J‘s Los Angeles home over the weekend for a domestic violence incident allegedly involving a female suspect.

Report Alleges Police Were Called To Ray J’s Los Angeles Home For Domestic Violence Incident Involving Female Suspect
On Monday, February 23, TMZ published an exclusive report asserting that over the weekend, police were called to Ray J’s home. Furthermore, the outlet asserted that “law enforcement sources” explained that around 2 a.m. on Saturday, February 21, officers received a call “for a battery domestic violence report.”
TMZ reports that police say the alleged suspect was a “30-year-old Persian female wearing yellow.”
More On The Alleged Domestic Violence Incident Involving The Female Suspect
However, per the outlet, when police arrived, neither Ray J nor the alleged suspect wanted to speak with the cops. Therefore, the police were unable to take further action.
At this time, it remains unconfirmed who the “30-year-old Persian female” was. But, on Saturday, February 23, Shila J, Ray J’s apparent girlfriend, shared footage of herself picking him up at the Los Angeles International Airport. In the footage, Shila was wearing a yellow top.

Here’s What’s Been Going On With Ray J Before The Reported Alleged Police Were Called To His Los Angeles Home
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ray J made headlines for an apparent domestic disturbance in November 2025. At the time, Ray was on a livestream when Princess Love accused him of pointing a gun at her. Furthermore, their exchange reportedly started over Love apparently trying to take their two kids and leave Ray’s residence. Ultimately, Ray continued to threaten Love and an unknown man while the stream rolled.
Ray was ultimately hit with a protective order, which kept him away from his kids over the Christmas holiday, per The Shade Room. Then, in January, Ray reportedly was admitted to the hospital. Ultimately, he revealed that he’s allegedly experiencing congestive heart failure.

More recently, Ray left fans concerned after footage showed him performing with a chest patch and apparent blood running from his eyes, per The Shade Room.
Subsequently, a photographer called cap on the footage of Ray. However, the singer’s manager, Melinda Santiago, responded with a statement.
“The bottom line is Ray J has been in and out of the hospital dealing with health and heart issues. That is a fact. Another fact is that the meds that Ray is on have some side effects. It’s absurd that a local videographer (not our team) would want to clout chase for 5 min of fame off of Ray J’s name, and play about Ray being sick is sick in itself,” she stated.
As for this alleged Los Angeles incident, TMZ reports that it has reached out to Ray for comment. However, he has yet to respond.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 finale.
Author Michael Connelly recently delivered a blockbuster announcement in the form of a new Harry Bosch novel coming this November. The Hollow will feature a crossover that includes The Lincoln Lawyer‘s Mickey Haller, given that both characters exist in a shared universe. In other words, Connelly just handed Prime Video and Netflix the ultimate franchise crossover between Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer. Unfortunately, legal rights and ownership issues make the possibility of Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller sharing the screen a little more complicated.
What’s the Connection Between ‘Bosch’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’?
In Connelly’s books, Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller are related as biological half-brothers, sharing the same father, J. Michael “Mickey” Haller Sr. Bosch was the product of an affair between Haller Sr. and Bosch’s mother, Marjorie Phillips Lowe. Haller Jr. eventually learns his familial connection to Detective Bosch in the 2008 book, The Brass Verdict, the second book to feature Haller following The Lincoln Lawyer in 2005.
The Brass Verdict features Bosch and Haller teaming up to solve a Hollywood lawyer’s murder, where Haller eventually learns that Bosch is his older half-brother. Meanwhile, Bosch already knows about Mickey’s existence and their shared relationship with Haller Sr. Unfortunately, they were unable to have a relationship in the past, as Bosch was placed in the foster care system after his mother was murdered. Bosch and Haller, both based in Los Angeles, have been crossing over in Connelly’s books for years.
A Crossover Between ‘Bosch’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Is More Complicated Than You Think
Both Prime Video’s Bosch and Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer have already adapted storylines where their respective protagonists cross over in the source material. However, since Amazon owns the rights to Bosch, and Netflix controls the streaming rights for Lincoln Lawyer, the shows have worked around this legal hurdle by replacing Bosch and Mickey with other characters. Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer adapted the plot of The Brass Verdict, but included Detective Griggs (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) as a replacement for Harry Bosch. Meanwhile, Bosch: Legacy Season 2 adapted Connelly’s book, The Crossing, which also features Mickey Haller, but used Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers) as Haller’s stand-in.
‘The Lincoln Lawyer’s Fate Has Been Sentenced at Netflix
Production is set to begin sooner than you may think.
Recently, The Lincoln Lawyer did confirm that Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) indeed has a long-lost sibling in the show’s Season 4 finale, but it’s not Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver); instead, “The Law of Innocence” reveals Allison (Cobie Smulders) as Mickey’s long-lost sister. The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, which will adapt the book Resurrection Walk, appears to be using Smulders’s Allison as the show’s latest Bosch stand-in, given that Resurrection Walk is another Mickey Haller novel where Bosch appears.
What’s Preventing a Crossover Between ‘Bosch’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’?
Unfortunately, Netflix’s and Amazon’s respective ownership of Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer make a potential onscreen adaptation of The Hollow highly improbable. Bosch and its spin-offs are co-produced and owned by Amazon MGM Studios, and they stream on Amazon’s Prime Video. Meanwhile, The Lincoln Lawyer is co-produced by A+E Studios and David E. Kelley, and the series streams on Netflix, so Netflix owns and controls the streaming rights for the hit legal series.
However, in an October 2024 interview with TV Insider, The Lincoln Lawyer co-showrunner Ted Humphrey didn’t completely rule out the possibility of a future crossover, but he did point out that it would take Netflix and Amazon figuring out a way for it to happen: “Unless they figure out some way for Netflix and Amazon to join forces… I guess you’d never say never, but at the moment it would seem impossible, yes.”
Considering the streaming competitors’ involvement in the television versions of Connelly’s literary characters, the likelihood of these two streaming giants striking a deal to allow a major crossover event appears close to nil, but the idea is not necessarily unprecedented. Disney-owned Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures did reach a deal over the Sony-owned Spider-Man movie franchise, which allowed Tom Holland‘s Spidey to appear in the MCU starting with Captain America: Civil War. Despite Connelly’s new book announcement keeping the idea fresh and ever-present in fans’ minds, the idea of an MCU-style crossover between Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer still remains a fun scenario for viewers to consider.

The fashion guru and “Project Runway” alum called the lifestyle choice “a bit of an adjustment,” but says he now “wouldn’t have it any other way.”
A grieving father was arrested after he attacked the man accused of killing his son while they were in a North Carolina courthouse — and the interaction was caught on camera.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said that Marion McKnight is accused of shooting and killing Jamariyae Dixon in the spring of 2025 when he was just 16 years old. McKnight has since been charged with first-degree murder, as well as the attempted murder of two others who were shot during the incident that killed Dixon.
McKnight was released on a $100,000 bond for the murder charge, which led him to come into contact with the victim’s family during his bond hearing at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte. McKnight has been out on bond since mid-November, though he was in court after a motion to revoke his bond was issued by prosecutors on February 17, according to Queen City News.
Dixon’s family had an emotional encounter with McKnight outside the courtroom during a hearing on February 19, and the victim’s father, Shaheem Snype, grew physically aggressive when he confronted his son’s alleged killer.
A mother of three in Durham, North Carolina, was shot to death by a “man she once loved” after she ended an abusive relationship with him. Officers with the Durham Police Department confirmed in a news release that they discovered the body of 27-year-old ShaKeva Dixon in her apartment on February 3. Soon after, police […]
Snype punched and kicked McKnight several times, according to footage shared by Queen City News.
“He did what he had to do as a father,” Dixon’s aunt, Susan Sherrill, told the outlet about the altercation. “Any father would’ve did the same thing. We’re still grieving. This is a wound that will never ever close because my nephew was 16 years old, and he should still be here with us.”
Dixon’s mother, Lynnette Dixon, also reacted to the fight, which she did not witness in person but saw via footage. “My face smiled,” she told the outlet. “I smiled. That was the first time I had a real smile since my son been gone.”
Following the attack, Snype was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault, inflicting serious injury. He was released from jail on the night of February 19 after he posted a $1,000 unsecured bond.
It is not currently clear if Snype has entered a plea or retained legal representation following his arrest. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment.
Meanwhile, McKnight went to the hospital following the incident due to injuries he sustained during the attack. The extent of his injuries have not been shared publicly.
A grandson has been arrested for allegedly murdering his elderly grandparents after the couple was found dead inside their home in Greenville, North Carolina. Pitt County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call around 9:30 a.m. from a home on Deborah Court on Wednesday, December 31. As they entered the house, investigators found an elderly […]
Also, while speaking to the outlet, Lynnette said that she misses her son. “Every year I got a happy birthday text, happy Mother’s Day, happy Valentine’s Day,” she said. “I never get none of that no more.”
Dixon was shot on May 23, 2025, on Stroud Park Court. Officers responded to a call about the incident around 5:30 p.m., where they discovered three victims with gunshot wounds.
All three victims were transported to local hospitals, though Dixon was the only person to die from his injuries.
An investigation was launched into the shooting and McKnight was identified as a suspect. Police obtained a warrant for his arrest, and he was transferred into the MCSO’s custody.

“I finally feel like I know a lot about sex. My whole 20s, sex was not always enjoyable. There was so much to figure out. Now, I finally understand it,” she told the Los Angeles Times amid promoting her upcoming album.

Continuing, as she explained how being a teen star put her in a position where she had to grow up and figure out how to talk about sex as a public figure, she related it to probably being “a female thing.” Ultimately, experience and confidence are vital; she also added that she is “not ready to be put out to pasture.”

The Singer Raised Eyebrows With Her Song Lyrics
Last month, Duff released a single, “Roommates,” which had explicit, descriptive sexual lyrics and, in turn, ignited online conversations. The Daily Mail noted how the chorus talked about late nights, secret hookups, and a sexual encounter in the back of a dive bar.
“I only want the beginning, I don’t want the end / Want the part where you say, ‘Goddamn’ / Back of the dive bar, giving you head /Then sneak home late, wake up your roommates,” she sings. Fans were stunned by the lyrics as they were a total flip of what she usually sings about.
Another part was about how she and her love interest had become roommates to the point that she was trying to ignite sex appeal, but the other party seemed uninterested.

“I’m touching myself by the front door / But you don’t even look my way no more /I’m touching myself looking at porn / Cause you don’t even look my way no more,” the artist voices later in the track.

The Disney Channel Alum’s Previous Sexual Misconceptions
Back in 2020, while Duff was still expecting her third child, Mae, she sat down with Sarah Hyland and Ashley Benson on the “Lady Parts” podcast, discussing their early views on sex.
They shared how details of sexual acts were not explained to them properly in their adolescent years, with Benson saying that she went to a “Christian school growing up, and so it wasn’t really explained in the right way.”
Benson continued, sharing that the sex education she got was mainly from older friends whom she asked questions. At this point, Duff dropped the bombshell, revealing that she “thought the first time you have sex you’re going to get pregnant,” to which Benson concurred, adding her own thoughts as well.
The “Lizzie McGuire” star added that people do not really talk about the fact that sex is also for pleasure and not confined to the boundaries of love.
She shared that this was something she had to discover on her own, saying that young girls aren’t also taught to derive their own pleasures from intimacy. In her words:
“I think as a young girl you get taught, ‘Well, you want the guy to feel good’ or something, and that’s really a terrible mentality to go into starting to have sex with.”

The Mother-Of-Four Revealed A Wild Sexual Experience
Duff played a game of “Never Have I Ever” with her younger costars back in 2016, and some truths were spilled. One of the questions asked if any of them ever had sex in a public place, and Duff responded affirmatively.
In the video filmed for US Weekly, the singer was seen to be embarrassed immediately after answering the question. “We shouldn’t have to be answering these things!” she said, blushing, then joked that she had never had sex before.
When one person reminded the “How I Met Your Father” star that she already had her son, Luca, at the time, she quickly chimed that it was an immaculate conception. The other cast members, however, did not feel embarrassed about the topic of their previous sexcapades as Duff did.
Hilary Duff Said She Is Used To Public Scrutiny
Growing up in the spotlight has its perks, but one of them is not being easily judged by the public. Duff’s life has been in the public eye since she was a teenager, and she admits that she is not a stranger to rumors and having her life dissected in the media.
After Ashley Tisdale released a statement about a “toxic mom group” which Duff was seemingly part of among other mothers, the singer maintained silence on the matter initially.
The Blast shared that the mom of four addressed the statement months later and pointed out that she is used to shutting down widespread rumors about her by simply taking her mind off the noise and doing something relaxing.

“I mean, this is not new for me, I’ve had this since I was maybe 15 and starting to get followed around by paparazzi,” she noted before explaining that most times social media escalates stories with clickbait without even covering the true full details.
