Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett issue message to fans after his ‘inappropriate’ act with female singer

Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith put on a unified front with their first joint message since he came under fire for an ‘inappropriate’ display with a female singer at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami.

At the show last month, Will and the Spanish singer India Martínez put on a steamy display that seemingly culminated with a kiss, but some fans were irked due to his unusual marital relationship with Jada.

On Monday, she joined the 56-year-old A-list actor for a blended family photo as he marked National Napping Day.

She didn’t seem to hold any bad blood for her husband as they posed with their son Jaden, 26, and daughter Willow, 24.

Joining in the group photo to complete the family was Will’s oldest son, 32-year-old Trey Smith, from Will’s first marriage to Sheree Zampino, who also posed for the picture.

Although Will and Jada didn’t directly address his controversial kiss, the Matrix series star also got to poke fun at her husband in the cheeky snap.

The two posed with their children, his first wife Sheree Zampino and their son Trey Smith for a silly picture for ‘national napping day,’ weeks after Will was slammed on line for flirting with and seemingly kissing the Spanish singer India Martínez (pictured)

Will, who wore a navy Adidas track suit with red stripes, was pictured snoozing on outdoors on a veranda while Jada, Sheree and the children all made joking gestures at him.

Jada, 53, who sported bleached blond hair and eyebrows, pointed down at her husband and stuck her tongue out as if to playfully mock him.

‘Someone say it was national napping day?’ Will captioned the photo.

The novelty holiday occurs the day after daylight saving time resumes, and references the tiredness many Americans will experience after losing out on an hour of sleep.

The photo features Willow flashing a ‘rock on’ or devil horns symbol, while Jayden sported peace signs over his eyes and Trey just gestured join at his father as if the sight of him was ridiculous.

Sheree seemed to be on the same page as Jada, as she pursed her lips and looked into the camera knowingly.

Will has made an effort to keep his oldest son Trey in family gatherings, and Trey has regularly joined his father and half-siblings at public events and awards shows.

In a 2022 episode of Jada’s Red Table Talk podcast, she had Sheree on as her guest as they spoke about how they forged a relationship in the early days of Jada’s relationship with Will, who was married to Sheree from 1992 to 1995, before tying the knot with Jada in 1997.

In a 2022 episode of Jada’s Red Table Talk podcast, she and Sheree spoke about how they forged a relationship in the early days of Jada’s relationship with Will

Jada admitted that her nuptials came ‘too soon’ after Will’s divorce from his first wife.

‘Trying to have a blended family and not really having a blueprint of that. We really had to figure it out along the way,’ she said. ‘For me, it was really about maturity. Just not understanding the marital dynamic, like, “OK, the divorce papers are sent, and people are over it, and this is done.”‘

But then she clarified that it is ‘never done,’ as the families would always be inextricably entwined.

‘So that was my biggest misconception, in that this woman is a part of this family. It’s like not only taking on Trey, but Sheree was coming along too as part of the package,’ she said.

The two women both spoke about how they had early disagreements over parenting their children, though they eventually reached an understanding and came to regard each other as good friends.

The latest display of family unity was particularly striking, as Will and Jada have still left an air of mystery about their relationship.

In 2020, Jada admitted to carrying on a multi-year affair with the musician Alsina during a period when she and Will were separated.

He later admitted to his own extramarital affairs, and in late 2023, Jada clarified that the two had been separated going all the way back to 2016, though she said they don’t have any plans to divorce.

The shocking admission and the unsettled state of Will and Jada’s marriage partly explained the fan outrage that erupted after he was filmed putting on a flirty display at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami on February 20 (pictured)

The shocking admission and the unsettled state of Will and Jada’s marriage partly explained the fan outrage that erupted after he was filmed putting on a flirty display with the Spanish singer India Martínez, 39, as they performed the song First Love at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami on February 20.

The pair got steamy during their song as they embraced and even appeared to share a kiss, while Smith placed a hand on Martínez’s backside.

In further candid snaps taken backstage, Martínez was seen jumping into Smith’s arms and wrapping her legs around his waist.

The display left fans stunned and calling out the rapper for ‘inappropriate’ and the ‘worst’ behavior.

One fan wrote: ‘This is the worst’ while a second typed: ‘Inappropriate, even if it is “entertainment.”‘

Others wrote: ‘It’s like someone’s dad’s on the karaoke with a drunk local woman.’

‘It’s how Will forgot where he was and went to put his arms around her.’

‘Will plays too much.’

It was recently reported that the I Am Legend actor and the Matrix star are ‘are living their own lives but haven’t completely severed ties’ – pictured 2022

Others defended the star and said he deserved ‘unlimited hall passes’ after Pinkett admitted to an affair with family friend August Alsina in 2020.

Fans penned: ‘I know yall ain’t tripping when Jada has embarrassed this man publicly numerously times!! Come on.

‘Idc his ‘wife’ embarrassed him how many times.’

‘Let that man live he’s been put through enough, damn. TR.’

‘Good for Will! He deserves to live life to the fullest, Jada did him dirty.

‘This man is a actor and has kissed plenty of women who is not his wife, he is a paid entertainer this is legit his job.’

Will also stripped off his shirt during the performance, showing off his body in a white t-shirt as he walked toward India, after being open about his health and fitness journey in recent years. Back in 2021 the actor revealed that he was in the ‘worst shape of his life’ after lockdown and years of gaining and losing weight for his Hollywood roles.

It was recently reported that the I Am Legend actor and Jada are ‘are living their own lives but haven’t completely severed ties,’ as per People.

Smith was seen strutting his stuff onstage

‘Call it what you want,’ the source added. Meanwhile, another inside said the pair, who got married in 1997, are ‘still together’ but ‘have had separate homes for years.’

The pair have been working on their relationship after Jada disclosed in 2023 that they had been separated for seven years, beginning in 2016.

In 2023 it was reported that Jada has her own house nearby to Will in Calabasas.

Smith is also said to be ‘a bit disillusioned with Hollywood’ at the moment the first source shared, adding that it could ‘all change with some new success.’

‘We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other, and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us,’ she shared at the time.

Jada previously shared that she will live with Will again one day to ‘take care of him’ because he’s ‘getting old’ in a 2023 interview with The Times.

While promoting her memoir Worthy on the Today show in 2023 she gave insight into her marital woes and told host Hoda Kotb that the marriage had left them ‘exhausted.’

‘I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted with trying,’ Pinkett Smith said on the broadcast.

‘I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,’ she explained of what caused them to drift apart.

In Pinkett Smith’s book, Worthy, she describes the separation as a ‘divorce,’ but clarified they never filed any paperwork.

‘It was not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce,’ Pinkett Smith said.

The mother-of-two – who admitted in 2020 that she’d had an affair with singer August Alsina – said she considered a legal divorce but could never go through with it, candidly revealing that she made a ‘promise’ to her husband that she would never give him a ‘reason’ to get divorced.

She noted that no permanent decisions have been made about the future of her marriage, explaining that she and Will are ‘still figuring it out’.

That year she also shared that ‘there have been several breakups between Will and I’ during their marriage, as she appeared on an episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.

Meanwhile the actor wrote in in 2021 memoir Will, that there were times in their marriage when they were both ‘miserable and clearly something had to change.’

Jada later revealed how the pair found their way back to each other after Will infamously slapped comedian Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars.

The display left fans stunned and calling out the rapper for ‘inappropriate’ and the ‘worst’ behavior

The confrontation took place after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, prompting Will to make his way to the stage, slap the presenter and say ‘keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth.’.

‘That was a moment that I knew I would never leave Will’s side after all those years thinking I would,’ she told Extra.

‘I didn’t go in there as his wife, but I was leaving as his wife,’ she added.

‘You know, it’s funny how intense situations can amplify love, and it was a pretty difficult time, but it definitely drew us closer. So yeah, it’s crazy how things work.’

While speaking to Daily Mail’s YOU Magazine, Pinkett Smith said ‘many positive things came after’ Smith slapped Rock.

‘After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?’

After Jada spoke publicly about their marital estrangement, Smith followed up with his own comments on the situation.

In an email published in the New York Times, he said her comments on their relationship were a wake-up call to him, adding that she was more ‘resilient, clever and compassionate’ than he’d realized.

Others defended the star and said he deserved ‘unlimited hall passes’ after Pinkett admitted to an affair with family friend August Alsina in 2020

The King Richard star told the paper, ‘When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in.

‘And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.’

The two were last seen in November 2024, as they stepped out for dinner with Shetty in Los Angeles.

In May 2024, they made their first red carpet appearance since her news of their prior separation.

She supported Will at the Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere in Los Angeles.

They were joined by their two kids, son Jaden, 26, and daughter Willow, 24, as well as Will’s older son Trey, 32, whom he shares with ex-wife Sheree Zampino.

Jada’s mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris was also present.

Jada’s marriage to Will previously came under blistering public scrutiny in 2020, when she interviewed him on her chat show Red Table Talk about an ‘entanglement’ she had four years earlier with Alsina, who is 21 years her junior.

Jada had an affair with singer August Alsina in 2016, which she later referred to as an ‘entanglement’ before admitting it was a relationship; the two seen in 2017

Her split from Will happened in the same year that she had the affair with August.

News of Jada’s fling with August first emerged in 2020 – but she and Will initially denied the allegations, claiming they were ‘absolutely not true’.

In a bombshell interview with radio host Angela Yee on June 30 that year, August said that he had been romantically involved with Jada and that he had received Will’s blessing.

‘I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership. He gave me his blessing,’ he explained.

‘I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really, deeply loved and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it.’

‘I gave my full self to it. So much so that I can die right now, and be okay knowing that I fully gave myself to somebody, some people never get that in this lifetime. It almost killed me. Not almost. It did – it pushed me into being another person. It broke me down.’

The following month, Jada sat down with Will to address the rumors regarding the status of their relationship – and decided to film the entire conversation on camera as part of her Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.

Jada confirmed that she was in an ‘entanglement’ with August – but insisted that she and Will were separated at the time.

Jada sat down with Will to address her affair on her Red Table Talk show in 2020. When Will pushed her to clarify what she meant by ‘entanglement’ she responded: ‘It was a relationship, absolutely’

‘We were over,’ she said to Will on the episode. ‘From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August.’

However, the pair denied August’s claim that Will had given him permission to pursue the relationship with Jada.

‘One of the things I want to clear up that was kind of swirling in the press was you giving permission, which the only person who can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself,’ Jada said.

‘But what August was actually trying to communicate – because I could actually see how he would perceive it as permission because we were separated amicably – I think he also wanted to make it clear that he’s not a homewrecker, which he’s not.’

Jada confirmed that she and Will met August through their son Jaden and recalled the singer, who would have been 23 at the time, was ‘really sick’.

‘It all started with him just needing some help, me wanting to help his health, his mental state,’ she explained.

Following Jada’s confession Will admitted: ‘I was done with you.’ Jada added that they decided to separate for a ‘period of time’.

‘And then what did you do, Jada?’ Will asked, as he urged his wife to keep talking.

Some of Will’s comments on the show led viewers to question whether he’d had his own dalliances in the past, as fans brought up romance rumors about him and co-star Margot Robbie, which the Barbie star has previously denied; pictured in 2016

‘As time went on, I got into a different type of entanglement with August,’ Jada explained.

When Will pushed Jada to clarify what she meant by ‘entanglement’ she responded: ‘It was a relationship, absolutely.’

She continued: ‘I was in a lot of pain, and I was very broken. In the process of that relationship I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside yourself.’

After Jada admitted to having an affair with the singer–songwriter, some of Will’s comments led viewers to question whether he’d had his own dalliances in the past.

The Gemini Man star said the couple had ‘made mistakes without fear of losing’ their family.

‘We came together young and we were both broken in our own ways. To be able to make mistakes without fear of losing your family is so critical,’ he said.

Some viewers also picked up on Jada’s contention that Will had already gotten his revenge.

”Make mistakes’ = cheat on one another. Let’s get reals,’ wrote one person on social media.

Jada has been married to Will since 1997; the pair seen in 1995

‘Will Smith getting through this discussion without acknowledging the women he’s been with since him & Jada have been on a break,’ tweeted another.

Afterwards fans brought up romance rumors about Will and co-star Margot Robbie that date back to when they made the 2015 film Focus together.

Margot, then 23, denied a liaison with Will, then 45, after Star published playful snaps of them together.

One picture showed Will from behind as he wrapped his arm around Margot’s throat while they made playful faces at the camera.

In another photo, Margot pulled her shirt up to expose her bra, while Will pulled his shirt up and touched his chest against her back.

However after the pictures were released Margot tweeted: ‘Been working non-stop, just catching my breath. There’s absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor…’ adding that ‘It’s disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context’.

The two actors took the photos while filming 2015’s Focus, in which Will played an experienced con man who took a young grifter, played by Margot, under his wing.

Will and Margot worked together again on DC’s Suicide Squad (2016).

“Fox News’ Kat Timpf Shocks Fans After Breaking Hip While Pregnant—The Struggle No One Saw Coming!”

Fox News Personality Kat Timpf Breaks Hip While Pregnant

 Being pregnant can put an intense amount of strain on the body, as Kat Timpf found out when she suffered from a broken hip.

Videos by Wide Open Country

The Zach Bryan Drama

Through her social media platforms, Kat Timpf has been quite public about her pregnancy. She has made numerous posts about it, and the struggles she has faced. It has been both physically and emotionally straining for her, and she’s happy to talk about it.

This has garnered a lot of support from other women out there who have also gone through the process. Getting knocked up, although initially very easy to do, quickly becomes quite the ordeal apparently. Recently, due to the stress of the pregnancy on her body, Kat Timpf has suffered a broken hip.

This can happen naturally, simply due to the added weight of a child on the hip, as Timpf discovered. She was seen hobbling to the voting booth just before the election.
She let her fans know she wasn’t going to let anything hold her back. “I’m on crutches right now because my doctor thinks I have a stress factor from being pregnant,” she said, swinging herself through the city. “She wants me on crutches every moment that I’m not on stage.”

Support For Kat Timpf Amid Pregnancy Hip Troubles

Since her hip incident, pregnant Kat Timpf has had plenty of support from fellow women, sympathizing with her struggle.

In the various posts she has shared, sporting a very fashionable pink crutch, fans have reached out.
“You’re amazing!!!!! Working, prego, and hip issues. Most people would curl up in bed. ????.Prayers for you girl,” one woman says. It takes perseverance to carry on, even while in pain, and heavily pregnant. She is due around the new year so that baby is getting big. This leaves little space for Kat Timpf to let her hip get better.

Another loving fan gives praise to Kat Timpf while she struggles with her broken hip.

“I’m happy you are following the doctor’s orders even though you have a hectic schedule take care of yourself and baby and try to slow down a little if you can, love you.” Appreciation for her dedication to her job and responsibilities amid the struggle surely helped ease the pain.

Angel Reese calls out conservative after saying players could sit out WNBA games to negotiate higher salaries

Reese has said she can’t afford to pay her bills with her WNBA salary

WNBA player Angel Reese ignited a social media firestorm after claiming players are prepared to sit out games to demand higher salaries during her podcast Friday.

Reese and fellow WNBA player DiJonai Carrington addressed the next WNBA collective bargaining agreement.

“I’ve got to get in the meetings because I’m hearing like, ‘If y’all don’t give us what we want, we sitting out,’” Reese said.

Carrington added, “That’s a possibility.”

Reese has griped about her financial situation in the past.

“The WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think it pays one of my bills. Literally,” Reese said.

Reese’s comments incited heated debate on social media about a WNBA player strike resulting in higher salaries. The WNBA has never turned a profit in its existence and has been subsidized by the NBA.

Reese got in on the discussion when she called out conservative influencer AKA on X for a post that Reese said falsely claimed she demanded to be paid as much as NBA players.

“I never said anything about the NBA. We are prepared to stay at the negotiating table for as long as it takes,” Reese said.

AKA’s original post has since been deleted.

Reese signed a four-year, $324,383 rookie contract ahead of her first WNBA season in 2024. She made under $75,000 in her first year and will make less than that in 2025.

In October, Reese admitted she couldn’t afford to pay her bills based on that salary in an Instagram live video.

“I’m living beyond my means. Hating pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” she said. “I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. Let me do the math real quick. I don’t even know my (WNBA) salary, $74,000?”

Reese said she is paying $8,000 for rent.

“Babe, if y’all thought… That WNBA check don’t pay a thing,” she added. “Did that even pay my car note? … I wouldn’t even be able to eat a sandwich with that. I wouldn’t even be able to eat. I wouldn’t be able to live.”

The WNBA players union opted out of its current collective bargaining agreement in October, two years before its expiration.

The current CBA will still cover the 2025 season, so the two sides have a year to negotiate a new agreement.

 

Celtics’ Kristaps Porzingis explains absence with unidentified ‘viral illness’

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis revealed that he’s been dealing with a mysterious illness.

BOSTON — Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis has struggled with injuries throughout his NBA career, but now he’s dealing with an unknown sickness. He even broke the news about the mysterious ailment himself during Boston’s 114-108 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

In the second quarter, Porzingis took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to explain why he’s missed six consecutive games.

“I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven’t been able to fully identify yet,” Porzingis revealed. “I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full strength to help this team. Thanks for the support and I’m hoping for a healthy return soon.”

Although the Latvian big man is sick, he warmed up for the C’s before they defeated the rival Los Angeles Lakers, 111-101, on Saturday night. And prior to that, he even cheered his team on from the bench while the Celtics flattened the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, 123-105. The Green Team is 5-1 in the last six games Porzingis has missed.

That doesn’t mean the Celtics don’t need him. The 7-foot-2 center was a big reason why they got over the hump last season and won their 18th title in franchise history. In the 32 games Porzingis has entered during the 2024-25 campaign, he’s averaged 18.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks while shooting a career-high 40.3% from deep.

What did Joe Mazzulla have to say about Kristaps Porzingis?

When asked about Porzingis’ status pregame, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla didn’t say much besides that his starting center was “getting close” to returning.

“He’s still able to come in and be around the guys as best he can and try to stay in the best shape possible,” Mazzulla stated. “He’s doing what he can to get back. But, you know, he kind of said it best. At the same time, we just gotta make sure he’s good and do what’s best for him.”

Rushing Porzingis back to take on the Jazz was never a part of the Celtics’ plan. He was listed as doubtful before the game and teammates Jayson Tatum and Al Horford also missed the contest. Utah sat in last place in the Western Conference and wasn’t at full strength either, as 2023 All-Star Lauri Markkanen and 2021 Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson both sat out.

The Jazz still gave the Celtics some trouble, though. Boston’s 24-point lead was erased in the fourth quarter, and Utah even tied the game at 103 with 3:21 remaining in the final frame. Then the Celtics’ championship pedigree kicked in.

With only a one-possession lead and less than two minutes to play, Celtics star Jaylen Brown went right at Jazz center Walker Kessler. He detonated on the 7-footer with a ferocious slam, giving the C’s a five-point lead with 1:37 to go.

On the next possession, Celtics sharp-shooter Sam Hauser put the finishing touches on the victory, draining his ninth triple of the game to make it 112-104. The Wisconsin native had a career-high 33 points and became the fourth Celtic to set a career-high for points in the last four games.

Boston will carry its five-game winning streak into a Wednesday night showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 53-12 Thunder stand atop the Western Conference and are one of just two teams with a better overall record than the C’s. The Celtics suffered their first double-digit loss of the season to the Thunder in early January, so they’ll enter the primetime matchup with some extra motivation and eagerness to prove why they’re the defending champions.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted for the First Time After 2025 Super Bowl in Park City

The couple was seen a month after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss

A month after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, Travis Kelce was seen for the first time with girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The outing flew under the radar for days until DeuxMoi published a video on Monday, March 10, of the couple grabbing dinner last week in Park City, Utah.

In the clip, taken from a distance, Kelce can be seen holding the door of a white vehicle open for Swift, who appears to be wearing a gray coat. After she is safely inside, the NFL tight end, wearing a beige outfit, follows suit.

Through Super Bowl LIX, Swift was there to support her man. On game day, Swift arrived dressed to win in a white Saint Laurent blazer, denim shorts and white thigh-high Paris Texas boots. The sparkling ensemble highlighted her “T” chain necklace, a nod to Kelce.

This year’s game was a vastly different experience than in 2024, when Swift rushed to the field after the Chiefs won against the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22, and kissed Kelce in celebration.

Since the stars first made their relationship public in October 2023, Swift has supported Kelce at his games, often alongside his mom, Donna Klece. The Chiefs star returned the gesture by singing along in the crowd during a number of shows during her history-making Eras tour.

In January, Kelce opened up about his relationship with the 14-time Grammy winner during an episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, revealing that they allow themselves to be the “best version” of each other as well as support each other in their goals and ambitions.

“I’m enjoying all aspects of life. I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium,” Kelce said, before adding, “I think personally, that’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship — is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you.

Their families have also supported the stars’ relationship.

“I think we get past the Super Bowl, I think it’s going to be a very good time for the two of them without the NFL season, without the Eras tour, just them alone really connecting more,” Ed said during an interview with Australia’s Today on Feb. 6. “I think that can only be a good thing.”

Swift will get a chance to support Kelce on the field again next football season, as he recently confirmed that he is not retiring. He shared on his New Heights podcast that the Super Bowl loss was “probably the biggest factor.”

Glamorous racing driver reveals the mind-boggling money she has earned after making an OnlyFans page: ‘The best decision I ever made’

Former Supercars driver Renee Gracie has revealed that her bombshell move to ditch the sport and become a full-time glamour model on OnlyFans is the best decision she ever made.

Gracie, 30, a two-time Bathurst 1000 competitor and Australia’s first full-time female Supercars driver, decided to launch an OnlyFans account in 2019 after falling out of love with her racing career.

The Gold Coast star’s move into producing adult content was very controversial at the time, but immediately paid off with Gracie raking in millions of dollars.

Six years later, Gracie maintains it was the right move.

‘It was absolutely the best decision I ever made for a multitude of reasons,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

‘The monetary value is what everybody sees, but you do have to work really hard to get there.

Former V8 superstar Renee Gracie has enjoyed a lavish lifestyle since leaving motorsports last year to become a porn star

The 30-year-old OnlyFans creator says she’s happy she made the move into adult content

‘I think OnlyFans gave me something that I never knew was possible, and that’s having control, having freedom, being able to pick and choose.

‘Whether it’s regards to picking and choosing how much I want to work that day, or where I want to go, how I want to, you know, be seen when I post a photo of myself, or how I want myself to look.’

Gracie says she was ‘extremely controlled’ while racing and even had her social media accounts monitored by others.

‘I wasn’t allowed to say certain things, post certain photos,’ Gracie revealed.

‘I had to look a certain way. And now having a platform where you have to be yourself, because that’s what fans want to see, and then being rewarded for being yourself, is great.’

The glamorous brunette says she’s had all manner of requests on her page, and one thing she’s been surprised by is fans who pay to be humiliated.

‘They want you to humiliate them and put them down and they pay you for it, which I personally don’t like,’ says Gracie.

‘I really struggle with that, especially if I know my fan very well, and find out they’re actually a really good person and they make me want to humiliate them… it’s just something that makes me feel funny, and I don’t enjoy it.’

One request that Gracie says she gets ‘on the daily’ is foot related content – and she’s only too happy to oblige.

‘I do a lot of it, and I make a lot of money from my feet,’ says Gracie.

‘That’s probably the one that makes me giggle the most, because it’s a huge part of my page, and I know that everybody laughs and giggles about it, but there are so many feet guys out there. It’s incredible.’

Through her OnlyFans business Gracie has been able to afford a lavish Gold Coast house and also splash out on several luxury cars.

On April 26 she will be taking up a new challenge when she steps into the boxing ring at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.

The adult star will be taking on podcaster Summer Perry and says she’s excited by the sport – and promises that it cannot be as difficult for a female as motor racing.

‘I think motor sport as a whole is by far the most intimidating sport as a female to get into,’ said Gracie.

‘I struggle to see anything else that I do as daunting, as intimidating and as difficult to get into as a female.’

Gracie has been training for the event for months, and is starting to feel nerves as fight day looms closer.

‘I’m starting to feel the pressure of making sure that I’m doing everything that I can,’ said Gracie.

‘I want to do my best on the night and make sure I put everything on the table and throw everything I have at it.’

Emotional photo reveals Haitian West Point grad’s American dream

If you need proof that triumph can have many faces, look no further than this stunning photo of recent West Point graduate Alix Idrache.

Idrache graduated and became a second lieutenant along with more than 950 of his classmates Monday. Amidst the pomp and circumstance, an Army Staff Sergeant photographer caught him during an emotional moment.

While making it through the U.S. Military Academy is certainly accomplishment enough, Idrache left a beautiful message on the school’s Instagram that explained why the day was so special to him.

“Three things came to mind and led to those tears,” he continued. “The first is where I started. I am from Haiti and never did I imagine that such honor would be one day bestowed on me. The second is where I am. Men and women who have preserved the very essence of the human condition stood in that position and took the same oath…”

“The third is my future. Shortly after leave, I will report to Ft. Rucker to start flight school. Knowing that one day I will be a pilot is humbling beyond words. I could not help but be flooded with emotions knowing that I will be leading these men and women who are willing to give their all to preserve what we value as the American way of life. To me, that is the greatest honor. Once again, thank you.”

The photo received thousands of likes, shares and congratulatory messages on West Point’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.

On Tuesday, Idrache wrote another message on his Facebook page:

“I woke up this morning and found my face all over Facebook and with it myriad of amazing comments about my accomplishments. I am humbled and shocked at the same time. Thank you for giving me a shot at the American Dream and may God bless America, the greatest country on earth.”

The word “inspiring” sure does get tossed around a lot these days, but in this case, it fits just perfectly.

The news mainstream media just doesn’t cover. Racial justice journalism since 1909.

Dylan Mulvaney reflects on the Bud Light backlash almost 2 years later on ‘The View’

Sales for Bud Light dropped nearly 30% after a partnership with the transgender influencer

Transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney reflected on the Bud Light controversy almost two years later on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

Transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney was asked to reflect on the Bud Light controversy that sparked a massive backlash against both the influencer and the beer brand in 2023.

Mulvaney came under fire after posting a video in April 2023 revealing the beer company sent packs of Bud Light with the influencer’s face as part of a new ad campaign and to celebrate Mulvaney’s full year of transitioning to “girlhood.”

“Well, I will start by saying I love beer, and I always have,” Mulvaney remarked during an appearance on “The View” Monday promoting the new book “Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer.”

Mulvaney continued, “So, I mean, when I took that deal, I didn’t think anything of it, because I was, like, ‘Oh, this is perfect.’ It felt like an organic thing to do, and it was just another part of me.”

The trans influencer described being confused about the controversy and how it kept growing, saying, “I realized I had become the poster child for this thing when [being] trans is just a small part of me.”

Mulvaney lamented not having “all the resources” to get through the backlash, adding that while being “the most privileged of transness,” the rest of the trans community is even less fortunate and in need.

“But what I think was really special about writing about the experience was that people see me as this, like, eternal optimist, but I think sometimes the people that are seen that way are often the ones that are hurting the most,” Mulvaney said. “What brings me the most joy is my gender euphoria and to have that used against me was such a mind game.”

“But I think it was really the people around me, and the trans women in my life that supported me during that time and took my hand and said, ‘This is our reality, welcome.’ That’s what got me through,” Mulvaney concluded.

During the show, Mulvaney also appeared to dodge a question about California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent admission that there is a fairness issue with biological male athletes participating in women’s sports.

“The last time I played a sport, I was six-years-old, and I was on a soccer team, but I assigned myself as the nurse, so I sat with the Band-Aids. And so in the words of ‘Wicked,’ I am not that girl,” Mulvaney joked.

Fox Business reported in Jan. 2024 that sales for Bud Light fell by 29.9% in the months after the videos were released.

Former Anheuser-Busch President of Operations Anson Frericks remarked in February that the brand has yet to fully recover, though Bud Light has been making efforts to win back customers.

“They are advertising Bud Light. And candidly, the commercials are actually pretty good,” Frericks said on FOX Business’ “Varney & Co.” “They have Shane Gillis, who’s about the opposite of Dylan Mulvaney. You couldn’t have maybe someone more opposite. They have Post Malone, but the problem is they’ve lost a lot of their customers.”

Gene Simmons Is Charging More Than $12K for 1 Fan to Be His ‘Personal Assistant and Band Roadie’ for a Day on Tour

Gene Simmons is giving fans a one-of-a-kind experience during his forthcoming tour.

According to his official website, the KISS bassist and co-lead singer is offering fans the opportunity to be his “personal assistant and band roadie” for a day.

Simmons, 75, who is set to hit the road with The Gene Simmons Band in April and May, shared a unique offering ahead of the tour.

The rocker has shared several Experiences on his website, which fans can buy ahead of his tour.

The experience in question, called “The Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience,” offers fans the opportunity to not only meet Simmons and his band but to assist him with load-in at the venue, setting up the stage, listening to sound check and spending time backstage.

The roadie will also join Simmons for a meal, and the “Radioactive” artist will introduce the fan during the gig.

The experience costs $12,495 — plus the original ticket price and comes with a bass guitar KISS previously used — and is only available to one fan per venue.

Simmons is offering another package called the “Gene Simmons Bass Experience,” which will give a fan and three guests the chance to meet the “See You Tonite” musician backstage.

With this package, a fan will be able to take home one of Simmons’ bass guitars, which can be signed and personalized for $6,500 for a “non-stage-played” instrument, and $12,500 for one that Simmons previously played at a show in addition to the ticket cost.

Simmons is set to perform 19 dates throughout April and May, making stops in California, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Texas. The gigs are set to kick off on April 3 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, Calif., before wrapping on May 24 in Houston, Texas.

Simmons shared his thoughts on another instrument, the bass, in an October 2024 interview with Guitar World and revealed he doesn’t think Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers has a “memorable” style.

“There are an awful lot of amazing bass players, like Jaco Pastorius and the jazz guys. Or guys like Flea, who is really good on his instrument, but I can’t remember anything he plays – and I also do not like the sound of a bass being slapped,” Simmons said of the bassist, 62.

The “Detroit Rock City” performer also revealed he was “never really interested in being a bass virtuoso.”

“I don’t like show-offs in music,” Simmons explained. “I’m much more attracted to things that are memorable. It’s part of the joy of music for me.”

He then reasoned that “you can be a jazz player and be respected by musicians, but the rest of the world doesn’t care.”

“All due respect, but that music is intended to show off how well you play — but I don’t care about that. The hardest thing to do is write a good simple song or riff. That’s really hard,” added Simmons.

Bruce Springsteen Pauses Sold-Out Show for the Sweetest Dance with His 90-Year-Old Mom

At 90 years old, Adele Springsteen proved that age is just a number as she shared a heartwarming moment with her son, Bruce Springsteen, during his sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden. The rock icon, in the middle of delivering his electrifying set, paused when he spotted his mother in the crowd, taking a special detour during “Ramrod” to bring her into the spotlight.

With the energy of a true Springsteen, Adele swayed and grooved to the beat, keeping up with her son as the audience erupted in cheers. Her moves lit up the big screen, and Bruce, beaming with pride, planted a kiss on her cheek before playfully declaring, “She’s still got the moves!”

This beautiful moment was more than just a dance—it was a testament to the unbreakable bond between mother and son. While Bruce’s relationship with his father was often strained, Adele has always been his rock, famously supporting his musical dreams by buying him his first guitar at 16.

Over the years, she has been a regular presence at his East Coast shows, even joining him on stage from time to time. Now, at 90, Adele continues to embrace life to the fullest, proving that some rhythms never fade and some memories last forever.
