Claressa Shields had plenty to say after videos showed a heated weigh-in with her upcoming opponent, Franchon Crews-Dezurn. The champion boxer even joked about being disrespected while wearing her “Faith Evans” wig. Meanwhile, social media is cracking up after Papoose stood ten toes down in front of his lady during the incident, even letting off a few words for the other side!

Claressa Shields Says Franchon Crews-Dezurn Head-Butted Her

Claressa and Franchon Crews-Dezurn popped out in Detroit on Saturday for their weigh-in. Their fight is going down tomorrow night at the city’s Little Caesars Arena, but the ladies brought the heat to the weigh-in. Standing face to face in their fur coats, the videos show the boxers getting close enough for their foreheads to touch! That only lasted a few seconds, though, as Claressa Shields shoved Franchon back a few steps.

From the clip, Shields had her face scrunched up, yelling over a sea of people between them who were trying to calm the heat! The boxers didn’t get close after that.

Within hours of the incident, Claressa Shields hopped on social media to clear the air, accusing Franchon Crews-Dezurn of attempting to throw their fight. In a tweet, she wrote, “Who TF head butts someone at weigh in!!!! Damn right she got pushed! She’s trying to throw the fight.” Additionally, in a livestream, Shields claimed that she’s been “so professional all this time,” even slapping on her Faith Evans’ wig for the event! She shared a “lesson” for all the female boxers: don’t ever in your *MF* life walk up on the GWOAT to head butt her—those were her words. Also, Shields said that when Fronchon walked up to her, the brim hit her on the head, and she let it slide.

“If you don’t get the hell up off me,” Claressa said. She also popped off on someone named Glenn,  accusing him of trying to get involved and warning that Papoose would’ve “knocked his a** out.” She added, “My baby would’ve torn your a** up.”

Boxing fans likely had their eyes on Claressa Shields and Franchon Crews-Dezurn. But, the fans of her personal life? The ones rooting for Papoose and Claressa? They were locked in on videos showing the wordsmith smirking while clapping back at apparent threats at the weigh-in. Angles show Claressa telling her man not to let her opponent throw the fight, and him seemingly warning the organizers. All in all the internet streets are saying Pap was ready to get active, and the comment sections are loaded, chile!

Meanwhile, Franchon also made time to clear the air and share her side of what went down ahead of Claressa Shields shoving her. She spoke on Shields allegedly selling her soul for “some clout and a married man.” Additionally, she said she would fly Remy Ma first-class to the fight if she can get in contact with Remy. “You a clown, I’m disappointed in you,” she said.

Sometimes, when a television series becomes super popular, it can then lose some of its luster. Shows that are beloved by fans and critics can sometimes experience a bit of a fall from grace when the criticisms start to roll in. Series such as The Bear and Game of Thrones come to mind as victims of this trend. However, there are still examples of exceptional shows that just keep getting better with time. One award-winning Netflix miniseries certainly falls into this category, and is still earning kudos today.

What Is ‘Baby Reindeer’ About?

In April 2024, Netflix released a seven-episode limited series called Baby Reindeer. At first, the show seemed like it would fly under the radar, with no prior IP to drum up interest and no big-name stars. However, word-of-mouth quickly spread that the series was, in fact, something truly special. The story is about an aspiring comedian named Donny Dunn (Richard Gadd) who meets a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning) while he’s working as a bartender. At first, he thinks Martha just might be a tad odd, but when he offers her a friendly complimentary cup of tea, Martha latches onto Donny, inciting stalking patterns that systematically threaten to ruin Donny’s life.

Martha’s intense and abusive behaviors include emailing Donny hundreds of times a day, ruining his relationship with his girlfriend, Terri (Nava Mau), and messing with Donny’s confidence (an essential aspect of being a stand-up comedian). Martha is somehow both terrifying and pathetic, and her connection to Donny becomes a twisted, toxic cycle. Donny must try to break away from Martha, while also examining a past sexual assault that he’s never truly dealt with which might be affecting why he’s become even more intertwined with the dangerous Martha. The most intriguing part of the entire miniseries is that, although dramatized to some degree, Baby Reindeer is based on real events that Gadd himself experienced.

‘Baby Reindeer’ Offers Several Astounding Performances

The series is already remarkable in how it brings Gadd’s experiences to life. But Baby Reindeer also becomes a must-watch because of the incredible performances. Gadd has written the series so that you immediately feel entrapped in Donny’s world, and Gadd infuses the role with a brutal authenticity and an honesty that allows us to truly experience all the complex emotions Donny holds. Collider‘s Therese Lacson noted in her review that Gadd “gives his all in every scene…the unabashed way the narration interrogates his inner thoughts, mixed with the way Donny presents himself and his slow physical deterioration over the time of the stalking, make the show memorable.” Gadd is able to convey the harsh, lingering effects of trauma (both of his prior assault and with Martha’s stalking) so that we understand how life-altering and truly damaging these types of acts of intrusive violence can be.

As impressive as Gadd’s performance is, Baby Reindeer’s success can largely be attributed to Gunning’s multi-faceted portrayal of Martha. With a lesser actor, Martha could have come across as a mere caricature — a dowdy woman who develops a crush and then takes it way too far. She could have been depicted as unhinged or overly dramatic. Instead, Gunning allows us to see all sides of Martha. She’s not only driven by her obsession, she’s also a woman who has experienced countless examples of disappointment and heartbreak that have resulted in a fractured psyche. This allows the viewer to develop a bizarre sympathy for a character who would otherwise be classified as a frightening villain. Gunning expertly demonstrates that even antagonists are devastatingly human at the end of the day.

It’s no surprise that Baby Reindeer quickly became beloved by critics for its original storytelling and extraordinary performances. It then took home 11 Emmy nominations and six wins, including ones for Outstanding Limited Series and Writing, and statues for Gadd and Gunning. But even after the Emmy ceremony took place, Baby Reindeer continues to live up to the prestige, with a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score. Although the series has been met with a bit of controversy (a woman claiming to be the real Martha has launched lawsuits against Netflix since the show’s release), Baby Reindeer is worthy of a binge-watch for anyone looking for a haunting thriller that examines the dark and complicated sides of humanity.

Baby Reindeer is available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.

What started as a regular night out quickly spiraled into chaos in San Antonio. And now, two families are mourning while two suspects sit behind bars. Authorities say Joseph Amador and Lauren Machado-Juarez are at the center of a deadly shooting that turned a Texas hookah lounge into a crime scene. The details unfolding from that night are as chilling as they are heartbreaking.

Fight At Hookah Lounge Ends In Capital Murder Charges

According to the San Antonio Police Department, 34-year-old Joseph Amador and 35-year-old Lauren Machado-Juarez have both been charged with capital murder. This comes after they allegedly opened fire on patrons seated on the outdoor patio of Myst Hookah + Ultra Lounge. Police say the pair had been inside the lounge late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning when a fight broke out. Additionally, security escorted them out of the establishment. Just minutes later, investigators say the situation escalated in a deadly way.

Lights Off, Shots Fired Into Packed Patio

Authorities allege that about five minutes after being removed, a Ford Fusion — reportedly driven by Machado-Juarez with Amador in the passenger seat — returned to the scene with its lights off. According to an arrest affidavit, the vehicle passed the lounge before circling back, positioning the passenger side toward the patio. That’s when gunfire erupted. Witnesses reported hearing around 20 shots fired into the crowded outdoor area.

The victims were later identified as 27-year-old Derek Brown and 50-year-old Kyung Lee. A witness told local media that at first, the gunshots didn’t immediately register as danger — until they saw two people lying on the ground. Panic quickly set in as bystanders scrambled for safety.

Tracked By Plates, Cuffed Days Later

Investigators say they were able to track down the vehicle through its registration. Furthermore, they later spotted Amador and Machado-Juarez exiting an apartment and getting into the same car two days after the shooting. Police arrested both suspects and recovered a handgun from inside the vehicle. Authorities also revealed that at the time of their arrests, both individuals allegedly had outstanding warrants unrelated to the shooting.

The investigation remains ongoing as the community grapples with the violence that shattered what was supposed to be a night of music and socializing. Police have not released additional details about what sparked the initial altercation inside the lounge.

However, the actor’s behavior landed him in hot water with the local law. In addition to coming to blows with bar patrons, police now claim Shia was using homophobic slurs, too.

Shia LaBeouf Charged In Connection To NOLA Fight

After his physical tussling, local law charged Shia LaBeouf with two counts of simple battery. Additionally, police are accusing him of repeatedly using homophobic slurs while hitting multiple people at a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras. These are details from a police report on the incident, obtained by the Associated Press through a public records request.

The New Orleans police report states that 39-year-old LaBeouf “became irate and aggressive throughout the night.” He allegedly struck multiple people with a closed fist at the Royal Street Inn & R Bar, near the historic French Quarter. He was eventually arrested.

On Tuesday, a New Orleans magistrate judge ordered Shia LaBeouf to be released from custody without a bond requirement, according to Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Gary Scheets. In the early morning hours of Feb. 18, LaBeouf wrote “Free me” on his X account.

Man Who Actor Allegedly Attacked Describes Incident To Police 

Jeffrey Damnit is a well-known local entertainer. Police identified him as Jeffrey Klein in the incident report. He claimed to be one of the people Shia attacked.

“He hit me, he connected a few times with punches, he pushed me a few times,” Damnit said.

LaBeouf “just got nuts” trying to start fights and telling the entertainer and others that he would beat them up, Damnit said. He added that LaBeouf had pushed him from behind at the bar earlier in the night, shouting homophobic slurs and threatening his life. At the time, Damnit was wearing eye makeup and lipstick. He believes his appearance motivated LaBeouf’s attack.

“That’s just somehow something that set him off, angered him and gave him a direction for his anger,” Damnit said. “This guy wants me to be dead because I wear makeup. It’s a screwed up thing.”

Damnit is a member of the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. He told the AP he is worried that he will face ramifications in his professional career for pressing charges against longtime Hollywood talent, Shai LaBeouf.

Videos Of Shia LaBeouf Acting Aggressively Go Viral

A viral video shows a shirtless Shia LaBeouf shoving one person to the ground and hitting another person in the face. According to the police report, the face hit caused “his nose to possibly dislocate.” Damnit and others detained LaBeouf and tried to get him to leave the area. However, the actor would not leave and became more aggressive, according to Damnit and the police report. Police arrived at the bar around 12:45 a.m. on the morning of the city’s famous Fat Tuesday revelry.

Another video recorded by Damnit and shared with the AP shows Shia LaBeouf looking at the camera and appearing to mouth a homophobic slur while police detained him. He continued to repeat the slur throughout the arrest, the police report stated.

“These f*****s put me in jail,” LaBeouf said, and then told police he’s Catholic, according to the report. “I didn’t shove nobody, I never touched nobody,” LaBeouf tells New Orleans police officers in the video recorded by Damnit.

Videos later show LaBeouf dancing throughout the French Quarter and appear to show him waving his jail release papers.

Former Disney Actor Has Violent History

This isn’t the first time Shia LaBeouf has faced legal troubles. He was sent to court-ordered rehabilitation after being arrested in New York in 2017 for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. That incident was captured on livestream video.

While on location in Georgia filming ‘The Peanut Butter Falcon,’ later that year, he was arrested for public drunkenness. Then, police accused of disorderly conduct and obstruction. A judge sentenced him to probation. Then in 2020, he was charged with misdemeanor battery and petty theft in Los Angeles.

That same year, FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, filed a lawsuit alleging Shia LaBeouf was physically and emotionally abusive to her during their relationship. Twigs said LaBeouf put her in a constant state of fear and humiliation. She accused him of once slamming her into a car and trying to strangle her. Also, she alleged that he knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease. They settled the lawsuit five years later, in July 2025.

LaBeouf apologized in a statement after the lawsuit was filed. He also denied the accusations in the lawsuit in a 2021 filing. He said any injuries done or damages incurred by Twigs were not his doing.

This month, love is in the air — especially on the new Ryan Murphy series, Love Story.

This new anthology is part of Murphy’s ongoing American Story franchise and centers around real-life love stories, with its first season following the passionate romance and tragic demise of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

But that got us thinking: if Love Story gets subsequent seasons, what real lovers should Murphy focus on next?

Thankfully, Watch With Us is here to help, and we give away ideas for free. These are our four picks for the real romances we’d like to see told on Love Story.

Related: Ben Affleck’s Dating History Through the Years

Ben Affleck is no stranger to a high-profile romance — but not all of them have ended happily ever after. Over the years, the Justice League actor has proven that he can still be on good terms with an ex despite breaking up. In a February 2020 New York Times profile, he showed his support […]

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

I mean, duh. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez‘s decades-long, on-and-off love story did get somewhat of a film adaptation in Lopez’s bewildering autobiographical feature This Is Me … Now. However, we feel like Murphy should take a crack at it, from writers and creatives who are a bit more removed from the emotions of it all.

Lopez and Affleck are truly fascinating: their time together began when they dated for a couple of years after filming the disastrous Gigli, then endured once more in a happily-ever-after, true-love-never-dies sort of way with a marriage in 2022. Then, three years later…it was over again. Still, Lopez and Affleck can’t seem to stay out of headlines together, even as he bounces between her and ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Affleck’s sheer commitment to juggling two beautiful women named Jennifer is weirdly endearing, and we’d like to see it in series format.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

This one is sort of a gimme, but it’s somewhat shocking that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s chaotic love story has yet to receive the narrative treatment. The coupling of the British royal and the Suits actress was highly controversial in England, especially by the British press and royal inner circle, who disapproved of Meghan’s less aristocratic background.

While the couple did get to bare all in the 2022 Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, it would be interesting to see their story in a way that doesn’t scream so much “direct brand management.” Let’s see all the ugly details, and you know that Ryan Murphy isn’t shy about showing some ugliness.

Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart

We’d be remiss if we didn’t include one Old Hollywood love story, because those guys were getting shacked up with one another and cheating on each other all over the place. But Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were perhaps the quintessential Old Hollywood couple, having met on the set of the 1945 film To Have and Have Not, where they displayed sexual and romantic chemistry unlike anything before.

On that set, old Bogie fell for the dashing Bacall — who was a whopping 25 years his junior — while still married to his third wife. Bogart and Bacall starred in several movies together, such as The Big Sleep, and they remained with each other until Bogart died in 1957. Their romance has since been lionized in countless interviews with Bacall before she passed away in 2014, so why not devote a serial dramatization depicting their love story?

John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Here’s a famous romantic couple that was passionate, caused the most legendary band of all time to break up and ended in senseless tragedy; it’s bewildering that they still haven’t gotten a major series or film drama treatment. (Maybe that will change with Sam Mendes‘ The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event starring Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono?)

Ryan Murphy is a master at peddling in gaudy sensationalism, and it feels like narrativizing the story of Lennon and Yoko Ono would be right up his wheelhouse. Maybe it would be good, maybe it would be horrifically bad — who knows. We just wanna see what happens if and when he tries. But please, Ryan, don’t cast your perpetual male muse Evan Peters as John!
