Former model Adrianne Curry is speaking out following the release of “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” a three-part documentary that shows viewers a glimpse of what happened behind the scenes of the modeling competition.

Curry, who sarcastically praised Tyra Banks, has previously spoken out about the negative experiences she had during her time in the show, sharing how they impacted her well-being.

Shortly after the premiere of the “Top Model” documentary on Netflix, Curry took to X and posted a video of her reaction, captioning it, “Tyra Banks Owes You Nothing.”

In the almost minute-long video, the former model started by saying, “I have mad respect for Tyra Banks. She is not sorry. She is not apologizing to you. That b-tch is not effing sorry. She will not bend the knee. And I respect that.”

Curry then continued, “Mad respect for Tyra, because that’s hard to push back on that many people trying to struggle-session you, and she’s just like, ‘F-ck you and I do what I want.’ I respect that. I tip my hat, m’lady.”

Before signing off, Curry addressed Banks by saying, “Keep on being yourself, which is someone who doesn’t give a flying sh-t,” before laughing.

Social media users responded to Curry’s post, with some appearing to miss her sarcastic tone. One user had to explain, “Guys, Adrianne doesn’t stand to Tyra… She’s being ironic as sh-t. She’s also the first victim of the show.” Another added, “If anyone really believes she’s ‘cheering’ on or supporting Tyra from this video, y’all are idiots!!!”

The 43-year-old also responded to someone who missed her sarcastic reaction, calling her out for “praising” Banks. “Shame on you, Adrianne… Tara [sic] produced that show & used a woman’s sexual assault for entertainment to build her bank account. She at least owes her an apology.”

Curry responded by claiming she was the “first one to be sexually assaulted on that show,” adding that she was almost removed for “being upset” about it.

Some users questioned why she didn’t participate in the documentary, and Curry shared that she had no desire and no trust in Hollywood and producers.

“America’s First Top Model” cycle 1 debuted in 2003 with only 10 contestants. After several challenges and eliminations, Curry, who was 20-years-old at that time, emerged as the winner.

In an interview with Page Six, Curry recalled her time on the show, telling the publication what her experiences were behind the scenes. “I had lost so much weight when I was there. We weren’t eating properly,” she said, adding that she has “never been more hungry” than she was while on the show.

Moreover, Curry claimed they were kept awake until about 2 a.m. while the judges were discussing before elimination, and they had to wake up at 5:30 a.m. the following day for filming.

She also said the producers used “psychological warfare,” for instance, asking them whether they think another contestant has an eating disorder. “They were f-cking with you openly,” she stated.

Despite all that, Curry said she has moved on and is grateful for the exposure she got. However, she added, “But you know, I wouldn’t trust her to look after my kitten or something,” referring to Banks.

In the first cycle of the show, Curry won a modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models, a contract with Revlon, and a spread in Marie Claire. In 2023, Curry spoke with Entertainment Weekly, explaining that the prizes weren’t what she expected.

Shia LaBeouf stepped back into the spotlight under troubling circumstances this week after spending a night behind bars in New Orleans. 

The 39-year-old was arrested following an alleged bar fight during Mardi Gras celebrations. Just hours later, he was photographed out again, drinking and walking the parade route. 

The images and police details have raised fresh questions about the former child star’s struggles and his complicated history with the law.

Shia LaBeouf appeared dull after spending the night in a New Orleans jail, emerging alone on Tuesday morning.  

In photos exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, the “Transformers” star was seen for the first time since being arrested for allegedly assaulting two men in a bar altercation. 

The former child star is now facing two charges of simple battery, a spokesman for the New Orleans Police Department confirmed.

The photos showed him wearing the same white “Stacey Services” tee, joggers and black sneakers from the day before, as he ripped off a paper wristband. 

LaBeouf refused to comment on how much his bail was before breaking into a jog. An eyewitness said he stopped at a Shell gas station and bought a Gatorade.

He then walked about two miles to the Mardi Gras parade route. Along the way, he appeared to enjoy a Topo Chico beverage before heading into Cajun Mike’s Pub and Grub.

As the day went on, Shia LaBeouf switched to a cold beer while taking in the festivities. 

He was seen talking with fans and shopping at VooDoo Mart, where he bought a new shirt and glasses. In his new outfit, he was photographed chugging a Paradise Park lager.

The outing stood out because LaBeouf has previously claimed to be sober. It appeared he had been celebrating throughout the day and into the night. 

Earlier on Monday, he was seen wearing a brimmed red hat decorated with festive details while holding a bottle of beer. On X, he also shared a selfie showing off his Mardi Gras beads.

Goth, who shares a daughter named Isabel with LaBeouf, was also seen without her ring earlier this month in Pasadena. Reports claim they quietly split a year ago.

LaBeouf was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras when he was arrested outside a Royal Street bar in the French Quarter. 

In a video from the altercation, he was seen headbutting a man before officers arrived.

According to the police report, a staff member tried to eject him from the bar, but the “Fury” star struck the victim several times using a closed fist. 

He left but returned, “acting even more aggressive,” the report states. Multiple people tried to hold him down. 

LaBeouf allegedly struck the same victim again in the upper body and punched another person in the nose. He was restrained by at least two men until officers arrived. 

The New Orleans Police Department confirmed he was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries before being booked. 

Footage showed him with a T-shirt over his head, blood on his arm, and his large back tattoo exposed. 

At one point, he sat in the trunk of a vehicle speaking to people at the scene. He was also photographed on a gurney in an ambulance. It is unclear what led to the incident.

This is not Shia LaBeouf’s first arrest. In 2014, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing at Studio 54 in New York City after disrupting a Broadway performance of Cabaret. 

Reports said he smoked in the theater, yelled at actors, and used vulgar language. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months of outpatient alcohol rehab.

In 2015, he was arrested for public intoxication in Austin, Texas. Two years later, he was arrested after an altercation at his anti-Trump art installation in Queens, though charges were dropped. 

That same year, he was taken into police custody again in Savannah, Georgia, for public intoxication and disorderly conduct and later attended court-ordered rehab.

In 2020, there was another incident in Los Angeles involving misdemeanor battery and theft. That case led to mandated therapy, 12-step programs, and sobriety monitoring.

Apple Martin is stepping into the spotlight and shutting down rumors at the same time. 

The 21-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin is pushing back against claims that she was expelled from school for bullying. 

After online chatter grew louder, Apple took to social media with a clear message. Now, she is addressing the accusations directly while also opening up about her future plans and personal life.

Apple Martin directly addressed the claims through her Instagram Stories on Monday. 

The Vanderbilt University student reshared a comment she wrote, explaining that she wanted to share “just a quick little message from myself.”

In her message, as reported by the Daily Mail, Apple said, “Hi! I didn’t wanna respond, but this narrative is completely false and has gotten so out of hand.” 

She firmly denied the accusations, adding, “I have never been expelled from any school, especially not for bullying anyone.”

While she acknowledged that not everyone online will like her, she made it clear that the rumor crossed a line. 

“I completely understand people not liking me, and that is okay! The internet is a place where people can share their opinions.” 

However, she stressed, “But this rumor is completely untrue, I am not that type of person, and anyone who is close to me knows that.”

The bullying rumors appear to connect back to 2024, when Apple Martin attended Le Bal des Debutantes in Paris. 

During the event, a video surfaced that some viewers felt showed her attempting to step into another debutante’s photo moment.

Apple later went viral over footage said to show her making a bold play for a photographer’s attention while another attendee posed. 

She was also photographed rolling her eyes at her date, Count Leo Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck.

The clips quickly sparked “mean girl” comments online. However, a source close to the family defended Apple and pushed back against that label.

Following the backlash, a source close to Paltrow told the Daily Mail that Apple is not what critics claimed. 

The insider described her as someone who enjoys having fun and insisted the situation was misunderstood.

“Apple’s more playful and fun, and she’s really a total girls’ girl,” the source said. 

They continued, “She would never mean to take the spotlight from anyone; that was not her intention. To characterize her as a mean girl is very untrue.”

According to the source, the night had actually been a positive experience. They said, “She really had such a wonderful evening, and I feel bad that this is even taking away from that because it was such an uplifting evening for her and the other girls.”

Addressing the moment with her escort, the insider added that Apple and Donnersmarck share a “good rapport.” 

“They had cameras on them all day long, and they were playing around,” the source explained. “It was in total jest and once again, not snarky, not anything negative.”

While dealing with online rumors, Apple Martin is also preparing for her next chapter. 

She will graduate from Vanderbilt University in May with a degree in law, history, and society.

Earlier this month, she shared in an interview with Vogue that she has changed her career plans. 

Although she once planned to attend law school, she admitted her earlier decision came from wanting to be different from her famous parents.

“I was in that rebellious ‘I don’t wanna be like my parents’ type of phase,” she said.

Now, she plans to pursue acting, following in her mother’s footsteps. However, she clarified that she will not follow her father into music with Coldplay.

More than 30 years after Kurt Cobain’s death, the tragedy is once again making headlines and reopening painful wounds for Courtney Love. 

A shocking new forensic investigation is questioning the long-standing ruling that the Nirvana frontman died by suicide. 

While officials stand by their original findings, fresh claims have sparked renewed conspiracy theories. For Love, who has faced decades of blame and hatred, the renewed scrutiny feels painfully familiar.

Kurt Cobain died on April 5, 1994, at 27 from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. 

His body was discovered on April 8, three days after his death, in the greenhouse above the garage of his Seattle home. For decades, the case was considered closed.

Now, an unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists has questioned Cobain’s cause of death ruling. 

After reviewing autopsy findings and crime scene records, the researchers suggested that aspects of the case pointed to a homicide rather than a suicide.

Independent crime scene reconstruction expert Bryan Burnett cited blood patterns, clothing evidence and damage to the muscian’s mouth that he argued were inconsistent with a typical suicide scenario. 

The team suggested Cobain was confronted by one or more assailants who forced a heroin overdose to incapacitate him before one of them shot him in the head, placed the gun in his arms and left behind a forged suicide note.

Despite these claims, authorities have not changed their position.

Following Kurt Cobain’s death, police said he injected himself with ten times the normal amount even a heavy heroin user would have used. The autopsy also detected morphine, codeine and diazepam in his system.

The King County Medical Examiner concluded that the cause of death was a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. 

At the time, a spokesperson for the Seattle Police Department said, “Kurt Cobain died by suicide in 1994. This continues to be the position held by the Seattle Police Department.”

It is well documented that Cobain suffered from severe depression and years of chronic drug use. 

In March 1994, one month before his death, he was hospitalized in Rome, Italy, after an overdose of champagne and Rohypnol. 

Love found him unconscious in his room at the Excelsior Hotel. She later suggested the overdose was a suicide attempt, though his management team said at the time that it was accidental.

For Love, the renewed investigation feels like history repeating itself.

“Over the years and decades since Kurt’s death, she has heard every story about his death, how it was her fault. Just one misery after another,” an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail.

They added, “She loved him more than anyone else she has ever been with. She will always remember him for who he was, but now that there is another conspiracy of how he died, it is her version of Groundhog Day.”

Love has long been vilified by Nirvana fans worldwide who blame her for Cobain’s death. 

Some unfounded theories have claimed she hired a hitman for financial control of Cobain’s estate, something she has repeatedly denied. 

One year after his death, a fan threw a spent shotgun shell casing on stage at a Hole concert.

As recently as 2024, Love admitted she wasn’t prepared for the backlash that followed Kurt Cobain’s death. 

In an interview with the Evening Standard, she said she always wanted to be thought of as a b-tch, while Cobain wanted to be liked.

“People used to say that I was so difficult. They said I was disagreeable. Yes, I am completely disagreeable and I’m never going to apologize for that,” Love said. “I always wanted to be known as a b-tch. Being liked was never my thing. Kurt wanted to be liked but not me.”

She added, “He was able to hide behind me, but then I got hated. Then Kurt died, and the hatred towards me reached a completely new level. I did not plan for that.”

In a 2011 interview with Vanity Fair, Love also revealed lingering anger over his death. 

“If [Cobain] came back right now I’d have to kill him, for what he did to us,” she said. “I’d f-cking kill him. I’d f-ck him, and then I’d kill him. He tried to kill himself three times! He OD’d at least five times.”

Despite the controversy, Love appears focused on honoring Cobain’s memory.

“The Big Bang Theory” star Kunal Nayyar‘s months-old interview is getting online traction, drawing attention to his comments about donating to GoFundMe pages. The actor’s generosity gained renewed interest following the death of James Van Der Beek and the GoFundMe campaign set up for the actor’s family.

The revelation started an online discussion, with users pointing to broader issues, such as the healthcare system and people’s reliance on crowdfunding sources for medical expenses.

In December 2025, Nayyar did an interview with The i Paper, wherein he said that having money has given him “greater freedom,” adding that he uses it give back and “change people’s lives.”

“What I really love to do is go on GoFundMe at night and just pay random families’ medical bills. That’s my masked vigilante thing,” Nayyar shared, saying that “money doesn’t feel like a burden.”

His interview has gone viral on social media after news that Van Der Beek’s friends set up a GoFundMe page to support the late actor’s family and six children. As The Blast previously reported, the campaign raised more than $1 million in less than a day.

Nayyar and his wife, Neha Kapur, are philanthropists, using their wealth to help others in need. Apart from anonymously donating to GoFundMe pages, the couple also supports animal charities and helps fund university scholarships for young adults who come from underprivileged backgrounds.

While the actor believes that not everyone has the luxury to help others the way he does, he says there are other ways to help those who aren’t so fortunate in life.

“We are expecting a president or a politician, some leader, to come and bring us world peace. But there is no world peace if your neighbor comes to your door wanting some sugar for their tea, and you lock it against them and say ‘get away’,” Nayyar noted.

As reported by Celebrity Net Worth, Nayyar has a net worth of $45 million, largely stemming from his work in entertainment.

Nayyar began acting in 2004, but his breakout role was as Rajesh Koothrappali on “The Big Bang Theory,” which aired for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the five lead actors in the show, including Nayyar, earned as much as $1 million per episode in the latter seasons of the sitcom.

In 2015 and 2018, Forbes listed Nayyar as the third-highest paid TV actor, earning $20 million and $23.5 million, respectively.

After “The Big Bang Theory” ended, Nayyar went on to star in shows, such as “Criminal: UK” and “Suspicion,” and movies, including “The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry,” “Spaceman,” and “Christmas Karma.”

Nayyar’s acts of kindness, specifically his GoFundMe donations, garnered mixed reviews from online users. Many called him out for donating anonymously, yet sharing it on a publication where thousands, if not millions, could read the information.

“He’s been doing it in private, was there any need for the public declaration?” one user questioned. “If he’s doing it in secret and it’s been going well for him, why the sudden need to make it public. Only make it seem as if he’s seeking public applause and validation. Not downplaying his kind gesture though,” one noted.

Some came to the actor’s defense, noting that the anonymity aspect referred to the families not knowing the source of the donations, rather than the public being unaware of Nayyar’s generosity. “It’s one thing to give to a massive foundation, but there is something so personal and empathetic about sitting up at night and finding individual families to help,” one commented.

“This is less about a star giving money and more about someone using privilege to reduce random suffering one notification at a time,” another added.
