Viral Stuffed IKEA Monkey Sells for Hundreds on eBay
Viral Stuffed Monkey
People Going Bananas on Ebay After IKEA Sells Out
Published
An IKEA plush toy is officially swinging into resale madness … cause TMZ has learned some sellers are asking for serious cash after the retailer sold out.
The frenzy started after viral photos showed Punch, a monkey at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, clutching IKEA’s DJUNGELSKOG orangutan plush for comfort. The sweet moment blew up online, and shoppers rushed to grab the same stuffed sidekick.
Now? It’s a flipping frenzy. A quick scan of eBay shows listings as high as $350, with others going for $269.99, $240, and well over $100 … a huge markup from the toy’s original $20 IKEA price. Some sellers are even tacking on hefty shipping fees, pushing totals even higher.
IKEA saw a sharp spike in demand over the past several days, particularly in Japan, the United States and South Korea. We’re told stores in those regions are actively working to restock after inventory was wiped out.
Javier Quiñones, CEO and CSO of IKEA U.S. and now Commercial Manager at Ingka Group, tells TMZ … the orangutan plush has long been one of the retailer’s most sought-after toys, but Punch’s viral story has given it “a little extra love.”
TMZ has also learned … after seeing the social media buzz, IKEA Japan reached out directly to the zoo. Last Tuesday, the company donated several soft toys, including additional orangutans and storage items, to enhance areas for children visiting.
As for Punch, IKEA says it sincerely hopes he’ll eventually feel comfortable around the other monkeys and won’t need the plush for reassurance.
Until then, one monkey’s comfort toy is cashing in big.

Mar-A-Lago Armed Gunman
Fixated On Epstein Files Week Before Shooting
Published
The armed man shot and killed by Secret Service agents outside President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago property Sunday had grown increasingly obsessed with the Epstein files and was also a vocal supporter of Trump … TMZ has learned.
Austin Tucker Martin sent a text message, obtained by TMZ, to a co-worker on February 15, 2026, that read, “I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable.” He continued, “The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.”
Sources who worked with Austin at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in North Carolina tell TMZ … he became fixated on Epstein following the latest release of information tied to the files. Co-workers tell us he was deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up and often talked about powerful people “getting away with it.”
At the same time, Austin was outspoken about his Christian faith and political views. We’re told he regularly expressed support for Trump, telling colleagues as recently as late last year he believed Trump was a strong leader.
People close to Martin describe him as well-meaning but increasingly frustrated, particularly about the economy. We’re told he often complained that young people need two jobs or roommates to afford moving out. Our sources say he still lived with his parents.
Austin also tried to start a union at work to push for higher wages, but no one signed on. Outside of his job, he was a sketch artist attempting to sell drawings of local scenery and people around town.
As we reported … he was shot and killed after breaching the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago early Sunday. According to officials, he was observed near the north gate carrying a shotgun and a fuel can. The investigation remains ongoing.

I’m Pregnant After Banging 400 Guys!!!
Published
Somebody might need to retake sex ed! Adult content creator Bonnie Blue says she’s pregnant after having unprotected sex with about 400 men … and she seems genuinely caught off guard.
Watch the video … after being sick and experiencing intense migraines, Bonnie — whose real name is Tia Billinger — takes a pregnancy test, which ends up being positive.
Bonnie said, “Guys, I am definitely pregnant … like, fully pregnant. So, I’m going to have to ChatGPT what to do next, because I’m actually not quite sure. I don’t know…”
Later, Bonnie went to a technician for an ultrasound, which confirmed the pregnancy.
She asked, “Oh, is that a baby? That’s actually crazy.”
It’s actually not that crazy, Bonnie! Some might even say it may have been expected!
But, in Bonnie’s defense, prior to her record-setting romping, she struggled for years with fertility issues.
In 2025, she told Us Weekly she wished she could get pregnant “However, I’m not in that position where I can fall pregnant naturally.”
Guess that was wrong.
After her sex marathon, she told Us Weekly the potential for pregnancy was “a problem for another day,” but she did collect DNA samples from all of the participants.
Let the daddy search begin!
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was not immediately removed from the line of succession after his arrest.
Andrew is eighth in line for the British throne, of which his brother King Charles III currently reigns. The former Duke of York was stripped of all royal titles and honorifics in October 2025 months before he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,” Charles said in a February 2026 statement issued by Buckingham Palace. “What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation.”
Keep scrolling to learn more about Andrew’s place in the line of succession amid his arrest:
Where Is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Place in the Line of Succession?
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is the second son of Queen Elizabeth III and Prince Philip. Upon his 1960 birth, he became second in line for Elizabeth’s crown behind now-King Charles III. Andrew’s position shifted once Charles had children and grandchildren.
Charles’ firstborn son, Prince William, is currently the direct heir, followed by his eldest child, Prince George. The lineup continues with William’s younger children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, all of whom he shares with wife Princess Kate Middleton. Charles’ younger son, Prince Harry, follows ahead of his kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who directly precede Andrew.
Andrew’s two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are No. 9 and No. 12 in the line of succession, respectively, in between their own children.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is the first member of the British royal family to be arrested in almost 400 years. Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,” the […]
Could Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Be Removed From the Line of Succession Amid His Arrest?
King Charles III, as the reigning monarch, has yet to make a decision about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s future as an heir.
“He likely won’t be removed from the line of succession until he’s convicted of a crime,” royal expert Gareth Russell exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2026. “If parliament did so before that, they could be accused of prejudicing the case against him. Any action between arrest and charges, or charges and trial, has to be very carefully considered, in case it’s used by the defense to weaken the case against Andrew.”
According to Russell, Andrew could be removed if he’s convicted of a crime.
“It’s completely untrue that you can’t be removed from the succession,” Russell told Us. “There are laws going back centuries that allow parliament to do that, the first time they did it was in 1326 and 1327. They also did it in the early 20th century, so there’s no reason that it couldn’t be done again.”
The BBC reported several days after Andrew’s arrest that the government is “considering” introducing legislation to remove the former prince from the line of succession.
“[This is] something that I hope will enjoy cross party support,” Defense Minister Luke Pollard told the outlet. “It’s right that that is something that only happens when the police investigation concludes.”
There has not yet been a formal decision about Andrew’s place in succession.
Why Was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Arrested?
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday in February 2026 over alleged misconduct.
“Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office,” Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said in a statement. “It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offense. We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.”
The Thames Valley police department further told the BBC that they were investigating claims that Andrew shared confidential information with late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a U.K. trade envoy. No charges have been revealed as of publication nor has Andrew addressed the accusations.
Based on the popular book series by Lee Child, this series stars Alan Ritchson as former U.S. Army Major Jack Reacher. A force of nature with an unyielding sense of justice, Reacher roams the country, tackling various dangerous situations as he unravels conspiracies and corruption. The gritty, suspenseful tone of the show makes it an unmissable part of Amazon’s crime library — as do its thrilling action sequences, which allow Ritchson to flaunt his formidable physicality.
Supporting cast members include Malcolm Goodwin as Chief Detective Oscar Finlay, Willa Fitzgerald as Roscoe Conklin, and Chris Webster as former soldier-turned-private investigator, Paul Hubble. In the first season, Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, where he quickly becomes embroiled in a murder case.
For fans of the novels, the series is quite a faithful adaptation. For newcomers to Reacher, the show has tight plotting, intriguing character dynamics and complex mysteries.
Clint Bentley and Greg Kweder have an interesting creative partnership in which they write and direct films together, but trade off taking on the director’s position. Kweder earned unanimous praise for his extraordinary work on the prison drama Sing Sing, but Bentley proved he was just as talented with Train Dreams, which earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Although there is a shared dedication to realism present in both filmmakers’ styles, Bentley’s projects tend to be more ethereal and, at times, experimental. Bentley made his underrated directorial debut with Jockey, a stirring drama about an aging horse rider facing a reckoning within his career.
Jockey stars Clifton Collins Jr. as Jackson Silva, a legendary racer who has suffered several serious injuries that threaten his future prospects in competitions. Despite having broken his back on three separate occasions, Silva is courted by the horse trainer Ruth Wilkes (Molly Gordon) to ride the thoroughbred Dido’s Lament, which she feels could go all the way. Jockey also features a remarkable performance by Moisés Arias, best known for his performance on Fallout, as the young jockey Gabriel, who has reason to believe that Silva could be his father. Jockey isn’t a traditional inspirational sports film, but a thoughtful character drama about whether one’s achievements define their career.
‘Jockey’ Is a Methodical, Deeply Felt Psychological Drama
As was the case with both Sing Sing and Train Dreams, Jockey was made with authenticity in mind because it showed an incredible amount of respect for the community that it was depicting. In addition to being shot at the real Turf Paradise racetrack in Phoenix, Jockey employed many non-actors who made the film feel even more like a slice-of-life. While there is an original story being told about a specific character, what Silva experiences is similar to what many real jockeys go through, particularly when it comes to the all-consuming nature of the profession. The film finds an interesting way to characterize Silva’s journey because he is no longer at the point in his life where he could do anything else; for better or worse, he’s dedicated so much time to the practices required of a jockey that it would be impossible for him to pick up a new career or alter his routine.
The Year’s Most Baffling Oscar Nomination Is This Underseen Documentary Now on Streaming
Barely anyone had seen this documentary before the film received its nomination, but now, it’s on streaming.
Jockey doesn’t necessarily glamorize the rigors of horse riding, as there is surprisingly little footage of the races themselves. Much of Jockey is set within the sidelines, stables, tracks, and local taverns where Silva spends his days, as he can never be too far away from the competition. There’s a beauty to how insular his world is, as he’s found a community that is willing to support his way of living, even if it would be considered a risk to an outsider. Bentley isn’t interested in defending or condemning the choices that Silva made because the point of the film is that he has to live with them; while there are gorgeously rendered images, some of which have the naturalist beauty of a Terrence Malick film, everything in Jockey is fragile and could disappear at any given moment. It’s an appropriate tone to craft for a film that is so indebted to neo-Western dramas, which creates a timeless quality to the depiction of the profession. As Silva becomes keen to teach Gabriel, the training and riding of horses has been done the same way for centuries, and there’s little that contemporary technology could do to modify the practice.
‘Jockey’ Has the Best Performance of Clifton Collins Jr.’s Career
Given how challenging it can be for independent films to find an audience, Jockey deserved more credit for the strength of Bentley’s directorial vision and its uncompromising approach to the material. Collins is an actor who has been giving great performances for decades, but Jockey finally allowed him to show what he could do as the lead; as for Bentley, his ability to make something both unconventional and emotionally rewarding is deserving of praise, especially given how much groundwork it laid for what he and Kweder would eventually do with Sing Sing and Train Dreams. There aren’t many films about horse racing that are as interested in the minutiae as Jockey is, but it’s also rare to see a film so blunt and mature in its depiction of aging. Bentley certainly seems like he is on his way to becoming one of the most interesting American independent filmmakers of his generation, and Jockey should be remembered as the film that first showcased his potential.
Jockey is available to stream on Starz in the U.S.

Actress and former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna is one of the most talked-about television personalities. This remains the case following her most recent stint on season four of Peacock’s “The Traitors.” Now, following her elimination, she’s calling it the most challenging job of her decades-long career while promoting her new book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.” Plus, she’s dishing about the inner workings of the hit reality competition series.

Lisa Rinna Opens Up About Filming ‘The Traitors’
Rinna recently hosted an event for her new memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” with comedian Kathy Griffin as the moderator. During it, she discussed her time on “The Traitors.” First, she joked about her exit.” Rinna said in the clip, “It’s boring now, isn’t it? No, we still love it, but I’m ready for it to be done because we wanna see the reunion.”
She then discussed how difficult a show “The Traitors” is to film. According to the “RHOBH” alum, “It’s the hardest job- anything I’ve ever done, hardest, on television. I don’t care- Broadway, ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ this is the most challenging because it’s a game- physical, mental, and psychological.”
Rinna went on to say, “There’s not enough sleep, and there’s not enough food.”

The ‘RHOBH’ Alum Also Discussed The Challenges
Rinna continued this line of conversation, which took place in front of a standing-room-only audience, by discussing the game of ‘The Traitors.’ According to her, “The challenges are so hard. It makes it really look cute on TV and nice and easy.” Griffin then asked Rinna about the filming schedule and how long a typical day lasts.
She responded, “For traitors, because you work three hours longer than the faithfuls, because it’s secret. Once the faithfuls go home, you go to the turret and do your traitoring. 18 hours a day. Every day.”

After that, Griffin asked Rinna for her reaction to being cast as a traitor for the hit series. The actress said, “I will never forget getting that little tap on the shoulder from Allan, and you’re blindfolded, which is a freaky thing anyway, and your heart is pounding out of your chest, and it takes him like seven times to walk around. That’s a long, torturous time.”
Rinna went on to describe “not having your equilibrium” due to being blindfolded during the process.

Fans Say ‘The Traitors’ Is Boring Without Rinna
Season four of “The Traitors” is as well-received as any of the previous seasons by most fans. However, Rinna became a fan-favorite, and many social media users agreed with her joke that the season is boring without her. One person on TikTok said, “And she’s right. It’s so boring now.”
Another person wrote, “It is. I stopped watching.” Someone else said, “For real, it’s so boring now, she is not wrong.” However, some disagreed with the former “Days of Our Lives” star. One person stated, “She wants it to be boring. It’s not boring at all.” Another “Traitors” fan commented, “She’s so annoying and narcissistic.”
Other fans are anticipating the upcoming season reunion.

The Controversial Star Recently Opened Up About ‘The Traitors’ Reunion
Rinna recently interviewed with Variety. During the discussion, she clarified reports that her “Traitors” co-star Colton Underwood stormed out of the reunion. She told the outlet, “I didn’t see it myself. I saw him leave, but I saw other people leave too, to go to the bathroom and such, but it took a long time for people to come back. That I can share with you.”
She continued, “But let’s put it on the record, because they probably won’t air it, right? I said, ‘Colton, I have a question for you: What did you mean when you said, ‘I’m going to take her hostage?’ That’s all I said. And that spun him out.”
Rinna then said about the situation with Underwood, “I never meant any harm. Hopefully, we can all have a kumbaya moment.” However, despite what Rinna stated about the reunion, Variety reported that an insider on set noted that Underwood “did not storm out or spin out at any point.”

The Book Is Days Away From Release
Rinna’s new book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” will be released on February 24 via publisher Dey Street. In it, not only is she discussing her legendary career as an actress, but she’s also opening up about her years on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Rinna announced the book in September 2025, telling PEOPLE, “I don’t know if everyone is ready for all of the truth I am unloading in this book. But I was certainly ready to tell it. Life comes with a lot of ups and downs, and so much of it gets lost ‘in the editing,’ if you will. It was time to share the director’s cut.”
She added, “I put so much of myself into this book; the good, the bad, and the wackadoodle. It feels really good to see it finally come together.”

Netflix’s Forgotten Bill Skarsgård Crime Miniseries Is the Perfect 6-Episode Weekend Binge
One of the greatest perks of the streaming era is the sheer volume of content available at any given moment. But that abundance comes with a downside: with so much content to watch, even genuinely strong series can slip through the cracks. Launched with far less fanfare than Netflix’s splashier crime hits in 2022, the six-episode Swedish miniseries Clark quietly became one of the platform’s most entertaining and unconventional explorations of criminal psychology, anchored by a performance from Bill Skarsgård that deserved far more attention than it received. Critics responded warmly, earning the series an impressive 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you’re looking for something stylistic, darkly funny, and short enough to finish over a weekend, Clark is an easy recommendation.
What Is ‘Clark’ About?
Clark tells the wildly exaggerated, semi-fictionalized story of Clark Olofsson (Skarsgård), a career criminal whose good looks and undeniable charisma made Sweden fall in love with him in the 1970s, despite a rap sheet that included robbery, drug trafficking, jailbreaks, and attempted murder. Olofsson famously participated in the 1973 Norrmalmstorg robbery, a hostage crisis that helped inspire the term “Stockholm syndrome.” Created by Jonas Åkerlund, the series traces Clark’s life from his troubled childhood to his evolution into a serial bank robber, media sensation, and unlikely cultural icon in Sweden.
Rather than presenting a straightforward crime drama, the show leans into Clark’s unreliable narration loosely inspired by Olofsson’s autobiography. Skarsgård frequently breaks the fourth wall, glamorizing his exploits and reframing failures as triumphs. The tone shifts rapidly, blending outrageous visuals with a bold soundtrack that heightens the absurdity of Clark’s self-mythologizing. Flashbacks dig into his formative years, offering context for how he became the criminal he did, giving the series a swaggering energy reminiscent of Goodfellas or Catch Me If You Can.
But while the robberies and jailbreaks drive the plot, the real focus is Clark’s insatiable need for admiration and control. Beneath its chaotic, stylized exterior, Clark is less concerned with the mechanics of crime and more interested in how criminals become celebrities — and how easily media attention can warp reality. By allowing viewers to see the cracks in Clark’s carefully constructed legend, the series takes on a far more character-driven approach. That shift not only makes it endlessly bingeable, but also gives Skarsgård the space to deliver one of the most compelling performances of his career.
‘Clark’ Trailer Reveals Bill Skarsgård as a Notorious Swedish Criminal
Bill Skarsgård plays notorious Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson, the man who was at the origin of the term “Stockholm Syndrome.”
Bill Skarsgård Is Magnetic and Unrecognizable in ‘Clark’
Bill Skarsgård is the kind of actor who can truly disappear into a role. Audiences most likely associate him with his chilling turn as Pennywise in the IT films or, more recently, as Count Orlok in Nosferatu. But Clark gives him the space to showcase an entirely different side of his range. Here, he’s all charm, bravado, and reckless magnetism. With shaggy ’70s hair and an exaggerated swagger, Skarsgård fully commits to Clark’s narcissism while allowing flickers of insecurity to break through.
What makes the performance so compelling is its duality. Clark is charming, manipulative, and often outright appalling, yet Skarsgård makes him impossible to look away from. He understands that the character’s appeal lies in contradiction, as Clark sees himself as a hero even as he spirals deeper into criminality. In quieter moments, when the bravado finally cracks, Skarsgård lets vulnerability seep through, hinting at a man who was never given a choice to be anything but a criminal.
The show’s stylized direction gives Skarsgård room to go big, and it’s easy to tell he’s having fun with those moments. But even at his most theatrical, he never loses control of the character. Even as the editing turns frantic or the tone veers into dark comedy, he anchors the series with a performance that ranks among his best work and remains far more unknown than it should be. It’s one of his most versatile turns to date, proving he’s far more than a horror icon and more than capable of carrying an entire series by sheer presence. In a streaming landscape crowded with formulaic crime content, Clark stands out as something riskier and more playful. Anchored by Skarsgård’s fearless performance and Jonas Åkerlund’s kinetic direction, it’s a reminder that the most fascinating crime stories aren’t always about the heist.
All six episodes of Clark are available to stream on Netflix.

Boosie is at the center of another storm, this time over a scholarship in honor of a Southern University student who tragically died. The rapper is addressing claims that he exploited the student’s death to promote one of his events, insisting his intentions were genuine. And you already know, he didn’t hold back one bit.

Boosie Pushes Back Against Legal Heat
Boosie revealed that he was recently hospitalized after falling ill, alleging that the stress was tied to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s lawsuit over his use of Caleb Wilson’s name. Wilson, a 20-year-old junior at Southern University, died in February 2025 following an off-campus hazing incident involving members of the Beta Sigma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Boosie announced a memorial scholarship in Wilson’s honor while promoting the sixth installment of his Boosie Bash event at Southern University last March.
Never one to stay silent, the rapper later took to X on February 21 to address the controversy directly after reportedly checking himself out of the hospital. He wrote:
“JUST GOT OUT THE HOSPITAL IM GOOD JUST CHECKED MYSELF OUT I LET THIS LADY GET THE BEST OF ME WITH THIS BULLS**T A** LAWSUIT N GOT ME SICK SH*T JUST WRONG N EVIL SHES DOING DEFINITELY WILL ADD THIS TO MY LAWSUIT HEADED TO THE MALL SO I CAN RIGHT FOR FIGHT N DETROIT”
Opinions Were Locked And Loaded
Y’all already know the roommates wasted no time flooding TSR’s comment section with opinions. Some said Boosie deserves whatever consequences come his way. Meanwhile, others argued that he probably had good intentions but just goes about things the wrong way. And of course, a loyal few made it clear that if anything happens to their boy, they’re “riding at dawn.”
One Instagram user @don.tayl said, “I’ll have a heart attack something happen to Boosie, he need to take care of his self 😫”
This Instagram user @frankieblue910 commented, “WE LOVE BOOSIE ❤️💪🏾💯”
And, Instagram user @pancho_villatoro joked, “Only time Boosie at the hospital is to see another 1 of his kids be born“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @thisusername_isunavailable0 shared, “I know this is supposed to be serious but everythingboksie says makes me 😂😂😂 ‘definitely adding this to my lawsuit’“
While Instagram user @istiredboss wrote, “He has good intentions but went about it wrong. The young man’s family and school should have been notified.“
Finally, Instagram user @1soliddj claimed, “He deserve everything she send his way“
Boosie Calls On Ben Crump, Claims Sabotage
That’s not all! Recently, Boosie also shared a video pleading for help from attorney Ben Crump after the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office filed a motion to compel him to respond about his use of Caleb Wilson’s name. In the clip, Boosie not only asked Crump to step in legally but also to help uncover what he described as “powerful people” he believes have been targeting him for years. He claimed the attorney general is trying to sabotage and “take [him] down,” urging the people of Louisiana to stand up for him amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Wilson’s tragic hazing death.

Hailey Bieber donated to the GoFundMe campaign supporting Eric Dane’s family after his death at 53.
Bieber, 29, sent a $20,000 donation to the fundraiser, per a listing of the GoFundMe campaign’s top donors. She did not further detail her support.
Us Weekly confirmed on Thursday, February 19, that Dane died after a battle with ALS.
“With heavy hearts, we share that Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” a statement from his family read. “He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world.”
Rebecca Gayheart is acknowledging the GoFundMe set up in an effort to support her children in the wake of their father Eric Dane’s untimely death. Gayheart, 54, shared multiple throwback family photos with Dane and their two daughters via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 21, while linking to the GoFundMe campaign meant to financially […]
The message continued, “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. 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.”
Dane is survived by his two daughters, whom he shared with Rebecca Gayheart.

“I think [my kids] would lead with I’m a reactive person. ‘My dad was a reactive person,’ [which is] not necessarily a negative connotation,” the Grey’s Anatomy alum said in his Famous Last Words interview, which aired on Netflix hours after his death. “Some of their core memories involve me reacting to something. You know, traffic is always a good impetus for that.”
Dane, who filmed Famous Last Words in November 2025, further predicted how his kids would remember his legacy.
“I think that they would say I was pretty tough. Resilient,” he stated. “They would say I was loving and I was really endearing and compassionate and empathetic and trustworthy. I’m a good dad. We did some really great traveling. We went to Europe one year, and there was a time where we were ripping through the French countryside with the kids in the back of this crazy little car we rented.”
Dane added, “I think showing up is the No. 1 quality. I haven’t been perfect with that, but I’ve always been there when it mattered. … I made sure that I can be there as much as possible — and certainly when it counts. I’ve shown up to all of Billie’s ballet recitals. I’ve been to many Nutcrackers, and I’ll tell you, there’s a couple pieces in there that are beautiful but Jesus, that thing drones on, man. It’s three hours, but I’ve been to all of them.”
In light of Dane’s death, a collective of his friends organized a GoFundMe campaign to support Gayheart, 54, and the pair’s daughters.
“COVID and ALS did a number on his work life and he, sadly, couldn’t leave his family with the resources he had hoped,” Dane’s friend Mike McGuiness wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 21. “A GoFundMe is being made and I will post it on my story for anyone able to help.”
Gayheart, for her part, has since been grateful for the support.
“I am so blown away by the outpouring of love and support from our community,” the actress wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, February 22. “There aren’t words to express our gratitude. You are truly holding us up during this difficult time.”
