NFL Star in Hot Water as Disturbing Criminal Charges Surface

0

Josh Jacobs faces charges of misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property following revelations from a police report detailing the alleged events that led to his arrest.

The Green Bay Packers running back spent a night in jail after voluntarily surrendering to the authorities and now risks a potential suspension from the NFL.

According to an incident report about an alleged altercation with his girlfriend—triggered by her discovering him communicating with other women—Jacobs reportedly grabbed her and threw her to the ground, causing her to hit her head and sustain an injury. Authorities have confirmed they obtained surveillance footage to back her account.

Jacobs has been formally charged, although he has not been charged with any felonies, and the charges do not include domestic violence.

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy addressed the situation, stating, “We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review.”

Jacobs turned himself in on May 26 and was arrested by Hobart/Lawrence police before being released without charges from Brown County Jail the following day. The district attorney’s office said more evidence was needed before prosecutors decided whether to file charges.

A news release from police at the time said they responded to a disturbance involving Jacobs on May 23. Police listed the charges they arrested him on, which included felony strangulation, battery – domestic abuse, criminal damage to property – domestic abuse, disorderly conduct – domestic abuse, and intimidation of a victim.

A new statement read: ‘Today, August 27, 2026, the Brown County District Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint charging Joshua Jacobs with two criminal offenses.

‘Our office sought to ensure a fair and complete review of available evidence, some of which only recently became available to our office due to significant, ongoing forensic efforts by law enforcement.

‘A criminal complaint is nothing more than a written, formal accusation against a defendant alleging the commission of criminal offenses and does not raise any inference of guilt. 

‘Mr. Jacobs is presumed innocent of these charges. As this is an ongoing criminal case, and out of respect for the rights of all parties, our office will not have further comment on the matter at this time.’

Josh Jacobs’ attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld and Clarence F. Duchac III, said: ‘The Brown County District Attorney has reviewed evidence and elected to file misdemeanor charges against Josh that do not include domestic violence.

‘The allegations will be addressed in court, and not in the media. Mr. Jacobs respects the District Attorney’s office and the process it followed.’ 

An incident report that has just been released by police reveals officers were dispatched to a residence belonging to Jacobs in Hobart, Brown County, Wisconsin at approximately 8:37am on May 23 after reports of a disturbance.

Officers made contact with an adult male who stated he lived at the property, and said he was not aware of an altercation. He said Jacobs’ girlfriend had left the house on foot while Jacobs left in his vehicle.

Dispatch then informed officers that Jacobs’ girlfriend was at a neighbors house on the phone with Brown County dispatch and had indicated she had a lump on her head she alleged was caused by Jacobs’ actions.

She told officers she ‘had been looking through Jacobs’ phone and saw that he was talking to other girls’ and said she threw his phone as she was upset. She alleged a ‘physical struggle, which lasted several minutes’ began when she tried to retrieve her phone from Jacobs and he ‘grabbed her arm’.

She claimed Jacobs left with her phone in a vehicle and she followed him in his other vehicle ‘in an attempt to retrieve’ it. After returning to the house, she alleges that ‘Jacobs called her a derogatory name’ and ‘made some comment to the effect that he would ‘do something to her’.’

While trying to exit the garage door to leave, she alleges ‘Jacobs grabbed her and threw her to the ground and she struck her head, suffering an injury. Jacobs then took her phone from her while she was on the ground’.

She claims she ‘struggled to walk back into the house’, while the police report states: ‘Officer Peterson observed redness’ to her ‘face and neck, and was able to feel that she had a bump on the back of her head. She described that she was in pain as a result of the injuries’

Jacobs ultimately turned himself in to police three days later. Police say they were able to retrieve video surveillance footage from the garage and that ‘the complainant believes this complaint to be true and correct.’

Earlier this week, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted the team could keep an extra running back on the roster due to the risk of losing him to suspension.

‘We could. You usually keep 3 or 4 running backs, and I think we have enough to do that.’

Jacobs was back in practice exactly a week after spending time behind bars as he took part in Packers OTAs earlier this offseason.

At the time, head coach Matt LaFleur said it was ‘business as usual’ with Jacobs despite the accusations that have been made against him.

Quarterback Jordan Love also revealed they have ‘talked internally’ about his teammate’s situation off the field.

‘You know everyone knows what the situation is there,’ Love added. ‘But obviously the details are… everyone is keeping the details under wraps right now out of respect for the situation and all the legal stuff that will be playing out, but it’s great to have Josh here with us and get back to work.’

Defy Age: Master These 4 Exercises to Prove Your Exceptional Endurance Over 60

0

Evaluating your physical fitness is critical, and one of the most effective indicators is your endurance.

>

Your 60s present a pivotal opportunity to reconsider your fitness regimen. With the natural decline in muscle mass beginning as soon as your 30s and potentially accelerating with age, it’s vital to prioritize maintaining strength. Endurance, the capacity to sustain exercise or physical activity over time without excessive fatigue, provides a clear measure of your fitness level.

We consulted Josh York, Founder & CEO of GYMGUYZ, the largest global provider of in-home and on-site personal training, to share an approachable method for gauging endurance. By successfully completing a set of four exercises without pausing after 60 seconds, you earn the distinction of having “exceptional” endurance.

York explicates, “Exceptional endurance post-60 means having reserves to spare. You should manage daily activities like stair climbing, carrying groceries, or standing for extended periods without exhaustion. This capability is key to maintaining an active, independent lifestyle. You don’t need complex routines to evaluate endurance. These four simple exercises activate most muscle groups and assess the ability to sustain controlled movement as fatigue sets in. They can also be customized to match an individual’s fitness level.”

Sit-to-Stand

  1. Begin seated at the front of a sturdy chair with your feet placed on the floor under your knees.
  2. Cross your arms in front of your chest.
  3. Brace your core and lean forward slightly.
  4. Try to stand up without using your knees, hands, or additional support.
  5. Use control as you slowly sit back down.
  6. Perform 20 chair sit-to-stands without using your arms.

If You Can Complete These 4 Exercises Without Stopping After 50, Your Body Strength Is Exceptional

Step-Up

California Pastor Facing Child Molestation Charges: Investigators Urge More Victims to Come Forward

0

A pastor and massage therapist from California has entered a plea of not guilty in response to allegations of molesting two children, both under the age of 14, over a prolonged period, as announced by prosecutors.

The individual in question, 58-year-old David Johnson from Ojai, is facing six felony charges related to child molestation, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.

Authorities are currently probing for any additional victims and are encouraging anyone with information about Johnson or other potential, unreported offenses to step forward.

Johnson stands accused of abusing two minors who were under 14 years old at the time the alleged incidents took place.

Prosecutors stated that this purported abuse spanned several years and occurred in both Ojai and Oxnard.

Johnson, who worked as both a pastor and massage therapist, had access to the children through a familial relationship, according to prosecutors.

Authorities have not publicly identified the children.

Johnson faces four felony counts of committing a lewd act upon a child and two felony counts of continuous sexual abuse.

Prosecutors have also filed special allegations involving substantial sexual conduct and the victims being under 14 years old, according to the district attorney’s office.

Johnson was arrested Monday on charges of child molestation by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, according to sheriff’s inmate records.

The records show Johnson was arrested shortly before 3 p.m. and booked into the Ventura County Main Jail later that evening.

Johnson appeared in Ventura County Superior Court for his arraignment and pleaded not guilty to all six charges.

He remains in custody without bail and is scheduled to return to Ventura County Superior Court on Friday for a bail review hearing.

Investigators have not said publicly how many additional victims they believe there could be.

The district attorney’s office is asking anyone with information about the case or other possible unreported crimes involving Johnson to contact Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Detective Michael Loth at 805-384-4745.

Ashton Jeanty’s Mysterious Post Fuels Concerns Over Raiders Injury Status

0

Doubt lingers among Las Vegas Raiders supporters regarding the true extent of Ashton Jeanty’s injury, casting uncertainty over the situation just a day after the initial news broke.

On Wednesday afternoon, the talented running back, now in his second year, took to Instagram to share a photo of himself kneeling on the field, a poignant moment captured from behind. His post, captioned with “Romans 8:28,” immediately sparked discussions.

In a subsequent image within the post, Jeanty provided the text of the verse: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” This message has left fans speculating.

The ambiguity surrounding Jeanty’s post and the accompanying scripture has led to various interpretations. As this is Jeanty’s first public communication since his injury, anxious Raiders fans worry that his poetic choice hints at a more serious condition than initially reported.

Romans 8:28 often surfaces in sports contexts as athletes seek solace during challenging times, especially when injuries strike. Consequently, many Raiders enthusiasts speculate that Jeanty might be signaling his belief that even if his injury proves severe, it serves a greater, perhaps divine, purpose.

Jeanty went down with a leg injury during the Raiders’ practice on Sunday. It wasn’t clear what exactly happened to Jeanty initially, but the whole practice pausing so his teammates could take a knee around him convinced many that the second-year back might miss significant time.

Then it came out that Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain, which could cause him to miss the start of the season. But a sprained ankle felt like a win, given that the fear was that he’d suffered a season-ending leg injury.

Despite the worry Jeanty’s post might have produced, Raiders fans should wait until they hear Jeanty address his ankle directly before taking his post as proof there’s something to be concerned about.

Harry and Meghan’s Emotional Return: Leaving Birmingham Airport Highlights Ties to the UK

0

Capturing a significant moment, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed as they departed from Birmingham Airport, marking the start of their new chapter in Britain after spending six years in the United States.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the transatlantic journey aboard a luxurious Bombardier Global Express XRS, a state-of-the-art long-range business jet, departing from Los Angeles’s Van Nuys Airport with their two children.

Images have surfaced showing an £80,000 Mercedes-Benz V220d driving away from the airport just 20 minutes following their midday touchdown. The exclusive aircraft facilitated their swift arrival in the UK.

While Harry and Meghan’s faces are obscured in these images, it is believed they were seated in the rear of the vehicle, with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet situated further back, providing family privacy and comfort.

Occupying the front passenger seat was David Langdown, Harry’s security consultant, who is reputed to have assembled a specialized team of British security personnel to ensure the family’s safety during their stay.

Mr Langdown, who is friends with Harry having known him for at least 15 years, is understood to have brought in a security team of people he knows and trusts.

A witness told the Daily Mail that three cars arrived at the airport at 10am before being driven out towards the runway just after 11am, where they waited for the plane.

The jet landed at Birmingham at 11.57am before taxiing into an area of the airport run by a firm called Signature Aviation, which offers private aircraft ground handling.

The plane was met by ground crew before being moved into another area of the airport, and the three vehicles followed behind before parking next to its steps. 

By about 12.15pm, the Mercedes car left while the other two vehicles stayed on the Tarmac to be loaded up with baggage before leaving 40 minutes later.

The Sussexes are understood to have been given no police protection for their arrival, amid ongoing questions over whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security.

They chartered the jet with Planet Nine Private Air, a California-based private aircraft operator. Hiring it is believed to cost about $12,000 (£9,000) per hour of flight time.

The Sussexes are now setting up their home in the UK but plan to live as an ‘international’ family, keeping their properties in California and Portugal.

The announcement that they were returning to Britain came as a shock after they quit the working monarchy in 2020 and bought a house in Montecito.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, will live in a non-royal residence outside London. Their children have both been enrolled in UK schools in or around the Cotswolds and are ready to start next week.

It comes a month after the couple took Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, to see their grandfather the King for the first time in four years at Highgrove.

Sussex-friendly People magazine suggested this week that the monarch wanted to see his sons Harry and Prince William ‘together over time’.

The brothers no longer speak, falling out around the time of Harry’s 2018 wedding, with the relationship worsening following Harry’s accusations on TV and in his book.

Yesterday, sources close to Harry said he ‘never really stopped missing home’ after leaving Britain six years ago. Harry also wants his children to ‘understand the world he grew up in and where their family comes from’, according to insiders.

Meghan, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, is also feeling ‘very fortunate that they’re able to give Archie and Lilibet the opportunity to experience both worlds’.

The rest of the Royal Family is at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire for their summer break, and the King was photographed out for a drive nearby at Braemar today.

Questions have been raised over the Sussexes’ finances as decisions about whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security remain unanswered – but the duchess will continue to run her lifestyle brand, As Ever, from their new base.

After his level of protection changed when he stepped down as a working royal in 2020, the duke has faced a protracted legal battle with the Home Office over security for him and his family while they are in the UK, and their arrangements may change when they become permanent residents again.

At the end of June, Harry was still waiting for a review by the Risk Management Board, part of the process by which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) rules on his security requirements – and he and his security detail were working to try to ensure his July visit could go ahead safely.

Individual decisions on protective security for key public figures, including members of the Royal Family, are made by Ravec – which includes the Home Office, Metropolitan Police and Royal Household – which advises an independent chairman.

Patrick Clancy Faces Key Decisions Amid Legal Challenges: Insights from Close confidants

0

As the legal proceedings involving Lindsay Clancy draw to a close in Massachusetts, her former husband is striving to piece together a new existence, far from the relentless media attention.

This week, 38-year-old Patrick Clancy was spotted in Manhattan inspecting apartments with his new spouse, Dr. Rachel Danis, as they look to find a refuge from the public eye.

Patrick blended into the city landscape, riding a Citi Bike and strolling through the streets, sporting a golf-branded cap and sunglasses in a likely effort to maintain his anonymity.

During his search, Patrick was accompanied by Alex Grapstein, a realtor from Corcoran, a company known for its expertise in high-end real estate, including luxury condos and townhouses.

Their quest for a new home follows an incident a week prior, where the couple was unknowingly caught on camera by neighbors at their current one-bedroom residence in bustling midtown Manhattan.

Family and friends of the couple tell the Daily Mail they are struggling with a relentless wave of negative attention linked to the trial, where jurors on Thursday began deliberating. 

Cruel and totally baseless conspiracy theories have spread rapidly across social media falsely claiming Patrick was involved in the deaths of his and Lindsay’s three young children.

One of Patrick’s relatives, speaking to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity, said the ordeal has taken a heavy toll on everyone close to the family, even as Patrick tries to push forward.

‘I think he is doing okay under the circumstances,’ the relative said. ‘It’s very stressful for the whole family.’

Grapstein, Patrick’s realtor, told the Daily Mail that Patrick is searching for a new place once the lease expires on the $5,500-a-month, 750sq ft apartment he currently shares with Rachel.

The agent declined to comment further, calling the subject ‘too sensitive’ given the ongoing public attention.

In Plymouth, Massachusetts, 36-year-old Lindsay Clancy stands accused of murdering her and Patrick’s three children, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan, in their Duxbury home back in January 2023.

Lindsay has admitted to strangling all three kids using fitness bands but has claimed she is not guilty of murder because she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis when the killings occurred, and therefore bears no criminal responsibility.

Prosecutors reject that account entirely, arguing instead that the killings were calculated and deliberate, and that Lindsay purposely sent Patrick out on errands that night to clear the house before she acted.

Patrick has testified in Lindsay’s defense and filed a lawsuit against her healthcare providers. 

In the aftermath of the attack, Lindsay slit her own wrists and throat and leapt from a second-floor window at their home, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

She has remained in custody or under court-ordered psychiatric care ever since.

Patrick moved out of the Boston suburbs and into Manhattan in May 2023, four months after his children were killed and beginning what would become a very public rebuilding of his personal life.

Photos of him with Rachel Danis, 37, first surfaced online the following February, and the family’s home in Duxbury sold in May 2024.

Rachel, a fertility doctor, later moved into Patrick’s Midtown Manhattan apartment, and by late last year she was photographed wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring.

The pair married in April in a small ceremony at the famous Ladies Pavilion overlooking the lake in Central Park, followed by a celebration at nearby Sarabeth’s restaurant.

Yet the newlyweds have found no real refuge from the fallout of Lindsay’s trial, even far away in New York City.

A groundswell of online sympathy for Lindsay has fueled accusations from strangers that Patrick somehow failed his ex-wife.

Some of the uglier viral posts have gone further, suggesting without any evidence that Patrick and Rachel played roles in the children’s deaths.

The strain appeared to boil over earlier this month, when a neighbor secretly photographed the couple on a shared terrace at their luxury midtown building.

A witness described the pair spending roughly half an hour alternating between checking their phones and talking quietly to one another, visibly tense and dressed casually for the summer evening heat.

Patrick, who works as a salesman for Microsoft, was seen pacing in tight circles while on a call.

Both Patrick and Rachel have received death threats and had personal details posted publicly as part of an online harassment campaign.

Patrick’s relative described the online pile-on as sheer ‘internet lunacy’ that has caused real damage to the couple’s daily lives.

A separate friend of the Clancy family told the Daily Mail that people online have been needlessly cruel and should focus on their own lives instead of tearing others down.

‘People are crazy, and people are stupid, and people are mean-spirited, and people should just worry about themselves,’ said the friend.

‘We need to put more good in the world. Not try to get people. It’s disgusting.’

Patrick, who took the stand during Lindsay’s trial, has never faced any accusations of wrongdoing in connection with the deaths.

He testified in her defense, describing her as a loving mother before the tragedy, and has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lindsay’s healthcare providers, alleging negligence contributed to his children’s deaths.

Those providers deny any wrongdoing, and the lawsuit remains ongoing.

Patrick’s attorney has pushed back hard against online commentators, calling their claims false and defamatory in a public statement.

‘The facts are indisputable: Patrick Clancy has suffered an unspeakable and unimaginable loss,’ his attorney said.

‘The individuals making those statements – from minor influencers to major celebrities – should be on notice that their despicable actions and false, defamatory statements have caused real life consequences to the health and safety of Patrick and his family.’

Whether Patrick and Rachel can finally step out of the spotlight once the trial concludes at Plymouth Superior Court remains to be seen.

After nearly a month of often harrowing testimony, jurors this week heard the final witnesses and then closing arguments in a case that has centered on Lindsay’s mental state on the night she killed her children.

Lindsay faces three counts of first-degree murder, a charge that carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole under Massachusetts law.

Should jurors find her not guilty by reason of lacking criminal responsibility, state law would typically require her to undergo further mental evaluation and likely commitment to a state hospital for treatment.

She has already been held at Tewksbury Hospital for court-ordered psychiatric care since May 2023. If jurors cannot reach a unanimous verdict, the judge overseeing the case could still declare a mistrial.

Florida Tragedy: Pair Accused of Looting Deceased Kenyan Crash Victims, Woman Detained on Immigration Hold

0

A man and a woman are under investigation for allegedly burglarizing a high-end townhome in South Florida, a property belonging to a couple tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Kenya.

Authorities arrested Geybert Alexander Garcia, aged 40, and 24-year-old Melany Pavon Perdomo on August 25. According to court documents and records from Miami-Dade, reviewed by News Media, Garcia holds U.S. citizenship, whereas Perdomo is detained under immigration regulations.

The accused duo allegedly made off with two upscale cars, important personal papers, and valuable items including costly jewelry and a piece of art—a sculpture with a valuation of over $500,000—from the residence of Henry Parra and Adam Hlavaty. Parra, 55, and Hlavaty, 42, were among the seven victims of a safari helicopter crash on August 19 in northern Kenya. The luxurious property is valued at nearly $3 million.

According to the Associated Press, citing Kenya’s civil aviation authority, the ill-fated helicopter was en route from the Loisaba Conservancy to the Ewaso Nyiro area in Samburu County when it crashed in a rugged terrain near Mount Ololokwe. The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation.

The U.S. State Department said five of the people killed were U.S. citizens. The crash also killed Miami restaurateur Roger Duarte; José Suárez, who led Telemundo-owned stations in several Florida markets; Ecuador’s intelligence chief, Michele Sensi-Contugi; his wife, fashion designer Stephany Hollihan; and the pilot, Josh Outram.

Parra, a former Navy aviation support technician, later co-founded and managed an aviation maintenance company. Hlavaty was a real estate executive and co-founder of a development company.

“They were a loving couple who cherished their time together, especially traveling, making memories, and enjoying life with their family and friends,” friends said in a statement obtained by WSVN. “They were hardworking, generous, and deeply committed to serving and giving back to their community.”

According to the affidavit, the couple left their South Florida home Aug. 12 and had arranged for their housekeeper to visit daily. Investigators determined that the home and its contents were intact after the couple died, police said.

Between the afternoon of Aug. 20 and Aug. 22, someone entered the residence, ransacked it and took personal and business documents, jewelry, electronics and artwork, the affidavit says. Police also reported the theft of a 2023 Land Rover Range Rover and a 2020 Porsche Taycan.

Investigators used Apple’s Find My service to trace a stolen MacBook to a residence in northwest Miami-Dade, according to the complaint. Location information from a spare key and the Range Rover’s app also pointed to the same area, police said.

Officers found both vehicles parked near the residence, obtained a search warrant and found Garcia hiding in a second-floor closet, the affidavit says. Perdomo was found in another upstairs bedroom, police said.

The complaint alleges officers recovered documents belonging to the victims, a key fob for the Range Rover and several valuable artworks, including the sculpture. It also says officers found materials consistent with producing or altering fraudulent identification documents.

Garcia is charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, two counts of grand theft of a vehicle and first-degree grand theft.

Perdomo is charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and two first-degree grand theft counts. Their arraignments are scheduled for Sept. 28.

News Media has requested additional information from ICE. An attorney for Garcia and Perdomo was not immediately available.

Howard Stern’s Surprise Appearance Following High-Profile Legal Dispute with Former Assistant

0

On Wednesday night, Howard Stern, the radio icon known for his reclusive nature, stepped into the spotlight in the Hamptons following significant legal drama involving his former assistant. The lawsuit has drawn considerable attention, adding intrigue to his rare public outing.

Accompanied by his wife of many years, Beth Stern, Howard was spotted at an exclusive event: John Mayer’s performance broadcasted by SiriusXM at the famed Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York. The couple’s appearance turned heads among those gathered at the venue.

The star-studded evening also attracted high-profile celebrities like Andy Cohen and Brooke Shields, each adding their own dash of glamour to the gathering of notable attendees.

Page Six captured video footage showing Howard and Beth maintaining a united demeanor, hand-in-hand, as they navigated through a sea of cameras and admirers. The pair exuded warmth and confidence, smiling as they made their way inside.

For this notable appearance, Howard opted for a laid-back look, choosing a navy button-up shirt paired with sleek black pants. Meanwhile, Beth captivated onlookers with her chic ensemble: a white tank top and skirt, accessorized with a sophisticated brown YSL crossbody bag.

Beth also shared a selfie of her and her husband smiling at the concert via Instagram that night.

“I’m in love,” she captioned the post with a red heart emoji.

Howard’s last public appearance was a year ago when he and Beth attended the launch of the “Maximum Metallica” channel on SiriusXM at Stephen Talkhouse on August 28, 2025.

The duo’s night out comes months after they were both being sued by their former assistant Leslie Kuhn for allegedly creating a hostile work environment.

Kuhn started working with the former “America’s Got Talent” host in 2022 as an office manager for his Sirius XM show, “The Howard Stern Show.” She worked her way up to become his executive assistant, but was terminated earlier this year.

Kuhn filed the lawsuit in April, detailing the “immense pressure” of managing Howard and Beth’s Southampton home, as well as helping the latter run an “extensive at-home feline rescue and fostering operations.” 

She also claimed Howard’s production company, One Twelve, presented her with a nondisclosure agreement that she denies ever signing. Kuhn claimed that both the reasons she was fired and the NDA were “manufactured by the Defendants in general and Beth Stern in particular.”

Weeks later, Howard, 72, filed to dismiss his ex-assistant’s lawsuit against himself and Beth for $2.5 million in damages.

He dubbed the lawsuit a “shakedown” and “transparent sham,” in court documents obtained by Page Six.

“The Sterns are entitled to enforce non-disclosure agreements signed by employees who enter their home and their private life,” his lawyer told us at the time.

Last month, Howard and Beth, 54, scored a legal victory when a judge ruled against Kuhn’s allegations that the radio host’s production company had forged NDAs with her name.

However, Howard found himself in more hot water after he laid off around a dozen staffers from his SiriusXM show last month, as Page Six exclusively reported.

Many of his former employees are reportedly now fighting for more severance.

Callaway Ends Partnership with Good Good Following Controversial Ad

0

In light of a controversial advertisement, Callaway has severed ties with Good Good Golf, a decision that follows a tidal wave of criticism.

The uproar centered around a video from Good Good, a popular YouTube channel turned business success story, which depicted co-founder Garrett Clark aggressively pushing a female co-host to the floor, sparking significant backlash.

In response, both Callaway and Good Good quickly removed the ad from all channels and issued heartfelt apologies to address the situation.

However, on Thursday, Callaway made the decision to publicly announce the immediate termination of its partnership with Good Good.

The renowned golf company expressed, “In recent days, we’ve taken the time to listen and contemplate deeply on the negative impact caused by the video we shared.”

‘We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people.

‘Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.’

Callaway revealed that it had completed a ‘review’ of the saga and would take several steps beyond cutting ties with Good Good.

‘In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough. We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this doesn’t happen again,’ the statement continued.

‘We are committing $1million to support organizations working to prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts.

‘These actions do not undo the harm caused or excuse our role in it. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was hurt, disappointed, or offended by this incident.

‘One of Callaway Golf’s core values is to be a positive influence, both in the game of golf and in our communities. We are further strengthening our commitment to these initiatives, and this will be an ongoing focus in our company. We are committed to learning from this incident and helping ensure that golf is a place where everyone feels respected, valued, and welcome.’

The full-60 second ad – for the Good Good-branded Callaway Quantum driver – was supposed to be a spoof of the popular horror movie ‘Obsession.’

But the opening of the advertisement shows Clark rushing over and body-checking Good Good member Alexis Miestowski as she reached for the golf club.

As Miestowski lay flat on her back on the ground, Clark is seen standing over before angrily saying: ‘Do not touch my new driver.’

The rest of the ad shows other members of the content team somehow becoming possessed by the golf club before the video ends.

In a video released following the backlash, Clark apologized and even called the commercial the ‘worst ad known to man’ – despite being the person at the center of the controversy.

‘I wanted to first start by saying, I personally want to apologize for playing the role in this skit, in this ad, at the magnitude that I did, and then on Good Good’s behalf and Good Good marketing team’s behalf, I wanted to say an apology as well because this is not at all what we stand for,’ he began.

‘Once again, I want everyone to know that I do not support DV [domestic violence] abuse or any of that, of any kind. So that’s the first thing I want to say, and I also wanted to offer you guys some clarity on the situation, if you guys are willing to hear.’

Clark added that the ad was supposed to draw inspiration from the popular horror movie but clearly missed the mark.

‘Looking back, super dumb ad concept,’ he admitted. ‘Terrible ad in general, not the greatest idea.’

He was also keen to drive home the point that it was a ‘complete skit’ and ‘I didn’t actually tackle a woman’, adding: ‘I never would, and I didn’t.’

Clark went on to tell his followers: ‘Once I watched it back and it got posted, my skin was crawling. I was cringing. 

‘I mean, just even minutes after I saw it get posted, before this surfaced everywhere online, I thought it was the worst ad known to man. 

‘The beginning of the ad was very intense with the way that that was pushed out there, and just not good all around. Not good. So I wanted to say that.’

He then went on to defend Miestowski – the woman pushed to the ground in the clip – and asked for abuse to be directed at him rather than her.

Her DMs have been, I think, completely unacceptable,’ he said. ‘I know Alexis is struggling with a lot of this… put it towards me personally. I can handle it. If you want to leave them in these these comments, you’re welcome to.

‘If you got any left in the tank, give Good Good some hate. You can give me some hate in the comments down below.

‘I do sincerely apologize for playing the role that I did in that ad, and I want you guys to know that I in no way, shape, or form support DV abuse or anything of the sort.’

Clark also defended Miestowski, saying her social media had been flooded with 'unacceptable' messages and instead told commenters to direct their anger toward himself and the brand

Backlash against the video was swift and came not only from golf fans but also by other brands that carried the products of the content creators – or those who collaborated with them.

On Tuesday, the Golf Channel posted a statement to reveal that the premiere of ‘Big Break x Good Good’ was being pushed back a week, after one of the show’s sponsors requested that its branding be removed from the series.

Although Golf Channel did not identify the sponsor, multiple reports said it was retailer Golf Galaxy, which had been listed as a presenting sponsor of the show.

Hours later, images and reports began surfacing showing that Golf Galaxy and Dick’s Sporting Goods had begun pulling all Good Good products from their shelves.

As criticism began to spiral, Good Good released a statement which read: ‘We posted a video to our channels that ultimately depicted actions that are not aligned with our values as a brand. We have since taken that content down and sincerely apologize.’

The statement added: ‘Good Good has always stood for making the game of golf more inclusive to all, and we will continue to ensure that is our mission moving forward.’

Good Good rose from the Covid-era golf boom and is one of the sport’s most popular content creators, boasting over two million subscribers on YouTube. The cast of the group has changed since inception, but formerly included the likes of pro golfer Luke Kwon and YouTube golfer Grant Horvat.

Their stock rose so much that Good Good was named the title sponsor of a new PGA Tour event in Austin, Texas, this fall. Since the controversy, calls have grown to pull their sponsorship.

In the aftermath of the video’s release, PGA Tour bosses quickly expressed disappointment. On Tuesday, CEO Brian Rolapp was asked if Good Good took enough accountability.

‘Initially, no,’ Rolapp said. ‘I think what we saw was concerning and clearly not aligned with the PGA Tour values. We take it very seriously. 

‘I think their initial response was disappointing. It was a little bit defensive and late. But I think the responses are getting better. We’ve had some conversations with them, so we’ll continue to monitor and work with them going forward.’

Asked if it would affect their title sponsorship, Rolapp described it as a ‘fluid situation.’

‘We’ll continue to monitor the situation and see how it develops,’ he said.

Outrage has erupted amongst Democratic senators Elissa Slotkin and Jacky Rosen over Piker’s inflammatory statements, which they argue unjustly target Jewish Americans. Piker’s assertion that American Jews are bound to face violence due to their support of Israel prompted a strong rebuke from lawmakers, who accused the influencer of victim-blaming and warned that such rhetoric only serves to escalate antisemitic hate crimes and political violence in the United States.

Addressing a concerning rise in antisemitism during the 2026 political campaigns, Rep. Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida, alongside Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer, has taken the floor to call out these troubling trends. :

Researchers reveal these radical Islamist groups scored millions in public funding while quietly building influence across the nation.

Speaking at a major regional forum in Santo Domingo, Abinader declared anti-Jewish hatred a direct threat to democracy. The historic move makes the Caribbean nation the seventh in Latin America to embrace the global framework to combat hate crimes.

While federal lawsuits against institutions like Harvard are crucial, Soffer insists that true reform requires relentless alumni action to hold administrators accountable, mentor current students, and restore academic integrity to higher education.
