An influencer known for his efforts to catch alleged child predators is facing charges after being stabbed during an altercation with a person he accused of trying to meet with a minor, according to reports.

Nicholas Attalla, who goes by “Niky Sal” on social media, was reportedly stabbed while confronting two men at a Tim Hortons in Jamestown, New York, in December 2025, according to police, WIVB-TV reported. Attalla, of Pennsylvania, tries to catch potential child predators by posing as minors online.

He’s described as a “child predator hunter” on his Facebook page, which has nearly 50,000 followers.

While at the Tim Hortons in December, Attalla accused one of the men, James Morris, of trying to meet with a 14-year-old girl and allegedly threatened him, according to Jamestown police, per WIVB-TV.

As a result, a fight broke out between Attalla, Morris and the other man, leading to Morris allegedly stabbing Attalla, police said, according to WGRZ. Attalla was hospitalized in connection with the incident.

The physical altercation endangered a 1-year-old child who had been at the Tim Hortons with their family, according to police, per the TV station.

Now, Attalla is charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, endangering the welfare of a child and third-degree assault, according to authorities, WIVB-TV reported.

Morris was previously charged in January with first-degree assault, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and tampering with physical evidence, according to the outlet. Like Attalla, Morris and the other man involved in the alleged altercation, Eric Spencer, have since been charged with second-degree criminal nuisance and endangering the welfare of a child.

During the investigation, authorities didn’t find any evidence indicating Attalla, Morris or Spencer had communicated with each other on their phones before the Tim Hortons encounter, according to Erie News Now.

Megan Thee Stallion is finally giving details about her breakup with Klay Thompson, four months after the news shocked the Hotties. At the time, she teased the split in a social media statement, before later confirming it. The breakup led to her early exit from her debut Broadway appearance in ‘Moulin Rouge.’ Recently, in a cover story for InStyle Magazine, Megan explained how the end of the romance felt and where she stands now.

Megan Says Split From Klay Thompson Was “Very Rough” 

In her sit-down with InStyle, Meg was as candid about wanting to expand her Hot Girl Universe as her breakup. She admitted to journalist Jason Sheeler that she’s still “trying [her] best” about how she’s feeling now. The interview, by the way, took place in mid-July.

“I feel like I’ve been put through the washing machine and the dryer with tins, shovels and a cactus,” Thee Stallion told InStyle.

She further explained that the split was “very rough,” but trailed off in thought before explaining what part “especially.” Additionally, she implied to the outlet that she constantly felt uncomfortable, trying to belong where she shouldn’t. Back in July, when the interview happened, she said she was locked in on finding Megan Thee Stallion instead of trying to fit herself into Klay Thompson’s life.

“How do I want to say this gently? What’s meant for you is always going to work out. And if something is constantly making you feel uncomfortable, just on edge all the time, you probably are not supposed to be there. God will always make you uncomfortable when something is not meant for you. I think I just kept trying to make pieces fit that didn’t belong, trying to fit myself into someone else’s life. I was losing myself a little bit. I am now in the space of finding me again,” Megan told InStyle.

As a single woman in July, Megan told the outlet she hasn’t “smiled so much in so long.” She explained: “Like, I’m outside twirling in the grass like, ‘Wow, it’s a beautiful day outside!’”

What Did Thee Stallion Previously Say About Her Breakup?

As said, on April 25, Megan Thee Stallion gagged internet users when she hinted at the end of her romance with Klay Thompson. Up until that point, the Hotties often praised the NBA baller for his apparent affection for the Houston rapper. They quickly became a celeb couple to keep up with, from her date recap videos to rumors of them buying a home and moving in together. Then, in her initial breakup statement, she shattered the public perception of being a perfect couple. She spoke cheating while having her around his family “playing house.” Megan also accused Klay, without naming him, of having “horrible mood swings” and “treatment” of her during the basketball season. “…Now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous,’” she wrote in the Instagram Story post.

Soon after her social media post, Megan Thee Stallion alleged cheating in a statement to TMZ about Klay Thompson:

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity, and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those are compromised, there’s no real path forward.” She continued, “I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity,” Meg told TMZ in April.

Klay Thompson has never addressed the breakup, but a few days after Megan aired him out, he made a rare move. The pro-athlete got on Instagram Live while boating and vibing to music. Then, in May, Meg teased a new track that seemed to shade the split.

Here’s What Megan Thee Stallion Learned From Her Relationship

While speaking to InStyle in July, Megan also clarified the one thing she won’t tolerate in love: disrespect. She said, “You will not disrespect me. And you will be thankful. Period.” Additionally, Thee Stallion explained that she cannot be a person who isn’t her and she can’t choose not to work. “I cannot not go to work. I’m going to be Megan Thee Stallion,” she told InStyle. A homebody she is not, Megan clarified.

“I love being me. I love rapping. I love interacting with my fans. I love shooting music videos. I’m not a person who is in the house 24-7. I’m never going to be that. And whoever dates me is gonna have to just understand, like, she is her own person. She’s her own boss. I cannot be minimized,” Thee Stallion said.

Furthermore, Megan said the experience with Klay Thompson taught her that she wants an equal, and who she doesn’t want.

“I will not be behind any man. I will have a partner. I will be equals with my partner. I’m never gonna take the backseat to anything. So just going forward, I think I’ve just learned this is the type of person that I want to be with, this is what I will tolerate, this is what I won’t tolerate. And if you can’t take that, we just gotta respectfully go our separate ways.”

Thee Stallion, real name Megan Pete, also recognizes that “somebody not seeing your value doesn’t make your value go down.” She said: “People cheating on you, that doesn’t have anything to do with you. You’re not less attractive. You’re not less of a good person. Even though it might feel like that. Oh my gosh, why me? Why am I not enough? Cause it could definitely feel like, Why am I not enough?”

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have officially reached the end of their marriage, but signs of trouble had been building for years.

The actress’s recent move to file for divorce has resurfaced remarks by sources that their relationship never fully recovered from the college admissions scandal that landed both of them behind bars.

The legal ordeal reportedly changed the dynamic between Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, leaving lingering resentment even after they completed their sentences.

Loughlin and Giannulli remained married for years after Operation Varsity Blues, but behind the scenes, their relationship had reportedly changed significantly.

Earlier this year, an insider claimed the controversy marked a major shift in their marriage and created problems they were never able to completely resolve.

“The school scandal was a turning point, and they never really connected or recovered their relationship after that,” the source told Us Weekly.

Loughlin was also said to have carried resentment over Giannulli’s role in the decisions that led to their legal troubles.

The Actress’ Never Fully Forgave’ Mossimo Giannulli For The Scandal

Although Loughlin did not place all of the responsibility on her husband, an insider claimed she believed he had taken the lead.

“She didn’t fully blame him, but he spearheaded it,” the source explained, adding that Loughlin “never fully forgave him and never fully got over it.”

Time apparently did little to restore their connection. Another source said the couple gradually became more distant as their daughters grew older and the immediate fallout from the scandal subsided.

Eventually, they reportedly realized there was little holding their relationship together beyond the life they had already built.

The Scandal Sent Lori Loughlin And Mossimo Giannulli To Prison

The controversy that reportedly altered their marriage began in 2019, when Loughlin and Giannulli became two of the parents implicated in the nationwide college admissions scheme.

The couple was accused of paying $500,000 to have their daughters, Bella and Olivia Jade, presented as rowing “recruits” to secure admission to the University of Southern California, despite neither daughter participating competitively in the sport.

Loughlin and Giannulli initially fought the allegations before ultimately changing course and pleading guilty in 2020. The case resulted in both spending time in federal custody.

Loughlin received a two-month prison sentence and was released in December 2020. Giannulli faced a longer punishment, serving five months before completing his sentence the following year.

The consequences extended beyond their time behind bars. According to one source, the couple continued pointing fingers at each other over what had happened, while the experience became a lasting source of tension within their marriage.

The Actress Finally Filed For Divorce After A Year Living Separately

5

Years after the scandal and nearly a year after the couple began living separately, Loughlin finally made their breakup official by filing for divorce from Giannulli on September 4. The actress cited “irreconcilable differences” in the court documents, per The Blast.

Loughlin and Giannulli had been married since 1997 and share two adult daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade. Her filing listed August 25, 2025, as their separation date, although their breakup did not become public until October of that year.

By January, reconciliation already appeared increasingly unlikely. A source said Loughlin remained “still extremely angry” with Giannulli, while he wanted matters between them settled privately.

Another insider summed up how far their relationship had deteriorated, saying, “Lori feels betrayed,” and that “they’re in very different places.”

Those earlier doubts about their future have now been answered by Loughlin’s decision to legally end their marriage of almost three decades.

Lori Loughlin Is Moving Forward With Her Career After Divorcing Giannulli

5

As one major chapter of her personal life closes, Loughlin appears focused on reviving her acting career. The actress has returned to Hallmark and is already filming new projects for the network.

“She is thrilled to be back working,” a source told Page Six, adding that Loughlin is “back at Hallmark working happily.”

Her professional comeback coincides with a gradual return to public life. Loughlin recently rejoined social media after years away, while keeping details surrounding her divorce largely private.

As one insider put it, “She has been keeping everything with the divorce close to herself.”

For Loughlin, the renewed focus on acting signals a different direction after years in which the admissions scandal and problems within her marriage repeatedly overshadowed her career.

Joy-Anna Duggar is approaching her fourth pregnancy with a completely different perspective this time around.

The 28-year-old is expecting another child with her husband, Austin Forsyth. Joy-Anna has also started serious conversations with Forsyth about possibly ending their childbearing journey.

Joy-Anna Duggar and Forsyth married in 2017 and eventually welcomed three children together. They are parents to Gideon, Evelyn, and Gunner, while the expecting mother also experienced the devastating loss of daughter Annabell Elise in 2019.

The mother of three says her fourth pregnancy has felt “different” from the beginning. She admitted that she has been sicker and considerably more tired this time around. She also wondered whether her body was reacting differently after four years without having a child.

The mother of three said the age gaps between her children previously felt much smaller. This pregnancy has instead left her feeling like she is “starting over in a lot of ways.” She has experienced round ligament pain since her first trimester and morning sickness that continued into her second, leading her to question, “What is happening?”

Joy-Anna is deliberately trying to enjoy the experience, even though it has been hard. Her sister, Jinger Duggar, asked if she plans to have more babies, but Joy-Anna said, “I don’t know.”

PEOPLE reported that Joy-Ann also opened up about whether this baby could be her last. She doesn’t feel she has finished having children, but Forsyth has questioned whether they should continue after this pregnancy. 

How The 28-Year-Old Announced Her Pregnancy 

The announcement came through a four-photo Instagram carousel showing the couple smiling together, kissing behind an ultrasound scan, and embracing her growing bump. Joy-Anna’s happiness was especially clear as Forsyth placed his hands around her pregnant belly.

The caption announced that their baby is “Coming 2027!!” She described the pregnancy with “so much joy, so much excitement, and so much love.” Joy-Anna also wrote that God knew they needed their little one. The couple already shares three children: Gideon Martin, Evelyn Mae, and Gunner James.

Their marriage has lasted for years, and Joy-Anna and Forsyth have built their family together since their wedding. The pregnancy comes after Joy-Anna previously experienced the loss of Annabell Elise. The Blast also revisited her comments about feeling something might be wrong before that loss, as well as the difficulty of delivering her baby at 20 weeks.

Joy-Anna Duggar Carries The Pain Of Child Loss

Six years later, Joy-Anna shared an important part of her story as she prepares for another baby. She told her sisters, Jinger and Jess’s Duggar, that she had “a gut feeling” something might not be right before her 20-week ultrasound. However, she worried about exaggerating her concerns and ultimately left the appointment feeling numb.

The hardest part came after learning that Annabell no longer had a heartbeat. The “19 and Counting” alum still had to go through the entire delivery process despite being only 20 weeks pregnant. Her mother Michelle Duggar stayed with her during the devastating experience. 

Joy-Anna later explained she spent around six months feeling like she was in a cloud or fog while her body processed the shock. The Blast reported that Joy-Anna also marked what would have been Annabell’s sixth birthday.

She shared black-and-white photographs of her daughter’s feet alongside a tribute marking July 1, 2019.  “Annabell means ‘God has favored me,’ and Elise means ‘God satisfies.’

The Expecting Mother Found Healing Through Faith 

Joy-Anna has emphasized that healing looked different for her emotionally and physically. She said people often called her strong while she was internally struggling and “freaking out.” She also explained that there was no fixed timeline for recovering from such a loss.

Visualizing God holding Annabell became particularly meaningful for Joy-Anna. She connected that image to the words “In the arms of Jesus,” which were placed on Annabell’s tombstone. That perspective eventually helped her find comfort as she continued to carry the loss.

After Gunner’s birth in 2023, Joy-Anna revealed that she experienced intense postpartum depression, which began around two and a half months after giving birth.

She said everything eventually “crumbled” and admitted she reached a point where she questioned whether she wanted to be here. Joy-Anna eventually sought help, exercised, and focused on healthier habits. She described the resulting improvement as “a huge drastic change” after months of fighting to feel better. 

Joy-Anna Duggar And Austin Forsyth Are Proof That Age Is Nothing But Numbers 

The couple’s relationship has also attracted attention because of their age difference. They first met when Joy-Anna was four, and Forsyth was eight, after his family moved from Texas.

Their families initially crossed paths through church before the pair eventually stopped seeing each other regularly. Their connection changed after Forsyth got his driver’s license and began playing football and broomball with the boys.

By 14, Joy-Anna said she was already “crushing hard” on him. She later insisted that she would have married Forsyth “from day one.” Joy-Anna recalled entering their relationship with a simple vision of a farmhouse and a happy life together. She admitted she didn’t think beyond believing Forsyth was the one and that everything would work out. 

Joy-Anna previously spoke about struggling after her brother Joseph Duggar’s arrest. She said her faith helped her take things one day at a time. Joseph and his wife Kendra were later given a 12-month advisement period requiring good behavior, no new offenses, payment of a $1,850 fine, and compliance with court orders.
