Pink Floyd alum Roger Waters has filed for divorce from his wife, Kamilah Chavis, in New York Supreme Court.

The 83-year-old musician filed to end his marriage to 48-year-old Chavis on Tuesday, according to court records reviewed by People.

Waters announced their marriage in October 2021, sharing several photos on Facebook alongside the caption: ‘I’m so happy, finally a keeper.’

His marriage to Chavis was Waters’ fifth. He was previously married to Judith Trim from 1968 to 1975, Carolyne Christie from 1976 to 1992, Priscilla Phillips from 1993 to 2001, and Laurie Durning from 2012 to 2015.

The veteran musician has three children: Harry, 49, and India, 48, whom he shares with Christie, and son Jack, whom he shares with Phillips.

The Daily Mail has contacted Waters’ representatives for comment.

Waters told Infobae in 2018 that he met Chavis while she was driving him between venues and hotels during a run of concerts.

‘I was in the same place for two weeks and we were being transported between the hotel and the stadium,’ Waters recalled. ‘My security guard would sit with her and they’d talk while I was in the back. I don’t know, something attracted me.’

He also described how he first struck up a conversation with her. ‘One day I said, “Excuse me,” and she turned around.

‘Did someone ever tell you that you have beautiful cheekbones?’ he asked. ‘I saw a small reaction, and that was the beginning.’

During the interview, Waters also shared his perspective on love and lasting relationships.

‘Love is good, obviously. It requires maturing. If you have real love, it will surely last a long time. Because love is about giving, not receiving,’ he said.

Waters and Chavis were last publicly seen together in a May 2023 Facebook post from Munich, Germany.

In the caption, he wrote: ‘Yesterday, my wife Kamilah, and I went to Perlacher Forst, to place White Roses on the graves of Sophie and Hans Scholl and Christopher Probst.

‘Three of the seven members of the White Rose Movement who were executed by the Nazis here in Munich in 1943.’

Waters made headlines last year after angering the Osbourne family with a series of disparaging comments about Ozzy Osbourne in the weeks following the singer’s death on July 22, 2025.

Speaking on the Independent Ink podcast, Waters said: ‘Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a f***.’

He continued: ‘I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.’

Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne responded in an Instagram post in September 2025: ‘Hey Roger Waters, f*** you. How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become.

‘The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls*** in the press. My father always thought you were a c***. Thanks for proving him right.’

Ozzy’s widow, Sharon Osbourne, addressed the remarks during an interview with Piers Morgan last year. ‘You know, he was great, but his greatness didn’t last. He couldn’t do any great music on his own.

‘He’s a has-been… oh, my God, he’s definitely not wired right. Five wives later, and, you know, hates everybody that’s successful.’

An Arizona couple was arrested after allegedly stabbing a registered sex offender to death and leaving his body in a desert area, authorities said.

Jacob Middlebrook, 35, and his girlfriend, Layne McIntosh, 36, were initially arrested on second-degree homicide charges in connection with the death of 29-year-old Arron Christopher Warren, according to the Bullhead City Police Department.

The investigation began Saturday when a motorist discovered a dead man along the roadside in the 3100 block of Silver Creek Road. Because the circumstances appeared suspicious, detectives responded and opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives identified the victim as Warren, whom police described as a Bullhead City “transient.” Investigators also developed a possible suspect and learned that Warren’s vehicle was missing.

Several hours later, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police helped Bullhead City detectives locate the vehicle at a casino in Laughlin, Nevada.

Las Vegas police arrested Middlebrook and McIntosh and booked them into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. They are expected to remain there until they can be extradited to Mohave County, Arizona.

The charges against both suspects were upgraded to first-degree homicide on Monday.

Investigators said Middlebrook and McIntosh were also “local transients” and had known Warren for several months.

“Detectives discovered that the couple had expressed distaste for registered sex offenders and had planned the homicide in advance,” Bullhead City police said.

“The couple reportedly pre-determined the desert location where they intended to leave Warren’s body. They also reportedly measured furniture/beds that could be large enough to cover the victim’s body along the side of the road. Warren was a registered Level 2 sex offender,” the department added.

Bullhead City Police Chief Paul George said the department informs residents when certain registered sex offenders move into the community or change addresses. However, he emphasized that he “will not tolerate anyone using this information as a reason to threaten, intimidate, harass or harm another person.”

“When a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into our area or, more commonly, changes addresses, the Bullhead City Police Department shares that information as a public service to help keep residents informed,” George said in a statement. “While required notifications are mailed to residents living within an approximate 1,000 feet radius of an offender’s registered address, we go a step further by sharing these notifications on social media to reach a broader audience. Our goal is to provide information, not create fear or alarm. We believe an informed community is a safer community.”

“Our Bureau of Criminal Investigations conducts monthly address verification checks to help ensure registered sex offenders are complying with registration requirements. Our responsibility is to protect our community, keep residents informed and enforce the law. We take all three of these seriously,” George continued.

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith recounted his White House interview with President Donald Trump during a Thursday appearance on “Hannity,” while warning Democrats about the growing influence of the party’s far-left wing.

Smith said he and Trump discussed the GOP’s “devastating” midterm losses during their wide-ranging, 40-minute conversation. He also criticized Trump for refusing to accept responsibility, describing the president as “immovable” on the issue.

“We talked about the devastating losses in the midterms and how the GOP essentially got slaughtered,” Smith told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“I asked him, is he willing to point the finger at himself, and he was dogged… he was immovable in that regard,” he added.

Trump repeatedly urged Americans during his midterm campaign blitz to vote as though he were on the ballot. Smith said the president distanced himself from that argument during their White House meeting.

“He said, ‘I wasn’t on the ballot.’ I said, ‘That makes absolutely no sense, Mr. President. You said, put you on a ballot. That’s what you told the American people to do.’ He said, ‘Well, they didn’t do it.’ I said, ‘Well, what if they did do it and that was the reason you lost,’” Smith explained.

“He refused to accept that,” Smith continued. “His attitude is that the candidates were not that great. If it were him that was running, this would not have happened. That’s his mentality.”

Smith said he disagreed with Trump’s assessment of the midterms, arguing that the Democratic gains reflected voters’ dissatisfaction with the president’s performance.

“I think that he is somebody that is convinced his way is what it is. I just don’t agree with him,” Smith said.

“I think the American people made a statement against what they were seeing from him in terms of him not having his eye on the ball and coming across as a bit detached in their eyes,” he added.

Smith told Fox News that Trump also pushed back when they discussed the effect of the Iran War and tariffs on voters and the economy. The commentator also addressed speculation that Trump had offered him the position of White House press secretary.

“That was absolutely hilarious,” Smith said. “Evidently, they don’t know about the life that I live and the kind of affluence that ESPN and Disney have blessed me with.”

“I wouldn’t take that pay cut for almost anything but the presidency,” he continued. “That ain’t happening. Press secretary? Please.”

Smith, who has criticized both Republicans and Democrats, said the Democratic Party is facing a significant challenge from its far-left wing.

“I definitely think that right now, the Democrats have a challenge on their hands because clearly there’s a lot of people out there that view the Democratic Party as a divided party,” he said. “Now they will tell you they’re a very big tent and there’s room for everybody, but I think that the progressive left has shown you there isn’t room for everybody.”

“If you’re not willing to capitulate to their desires, their wishes and their ideological beliefs 100%, then they got a problem with you,” he added.

Smith also criticized Democrats who have turned down interviews and said he appreciated Trump’s willingness to speak with him.

“[Trump] was just very rigid and immovable in his thinking that it was blown by the people who lost and that the candidates on the Republican side simply were not good enough. It was not about him,” Smith said.

“… I give him credit,” he continued. “I asked a question, and he answered, and he didn’t run from anything.”

When I read Woman Five’s testimony during the trial of Russell Brand, my teeth began to chatter violently.

The reaction came without warning. As the words in the witness statements stirred long-buried memories of my own degrading encounters with the comedian, my body began to shake uncontrollably.

Reading this brave woman’s account – including Brand’s demand that she shower and brush her teeth before the appalling encounter – I realised I was trembling and crying.

After 21 years, my body was finally releasing something my mind had never fully allowed me to accept: that Russell Brand was a cruel and ruthless predator, and that I was far from the only woman he had degraded.

I was 25 when I was sent to interview Russell Brand. He was an emerging comedian who had recently begun presenting a Big Brother spin-off show. Despite what his lawyer, Ian Winter KC, said in court, I knew nothing about his reputation beyond the fact that he had been clean and sober from heroin addiction for several years.

We met at a café in Primrose Hill. I remember being completely taken aback when this funny, lively, Fagin-like figure almost immediately began propositioning me, telling me how beautiful I was and asking whether he could kiss me.

Bryony Gordon was sent to interview Brand when she was 25. He told her she was beautiful and asked whether he could kiss her

I remember giggling constantly. Afterwards, he insisted on walking me to the Tube station. All the way there, he continued asking if he could kiss me, while I kept telling him he could not. When I returned to the office, my phone began ringing almost immediately. He had obtained my number from his PR representative. The calls and messages followed – 20 or 30 a day.

Those are obvious red flags now. But this was the Noughties, when comedians on panel shows were still making rape jokes.

I was bulimic, depressed, consumed by OCD and, as I now understand it, in the grip of alcoholism. Whatever self-esteem I possessed came largely from male validation. In that post-Bridget Jones era, I looked to men for something resembling safety and security. I am not proud of this admission; it makes me deeply sad. But that was how things were for me in 2005.

What I am trying to explain is that, although I can now recognise Brand’s behaviour as narcissistic love-bombing, at the time I was completely dazzled by it. I remember him singing James Blunt’s You’re Beautiful to me over the phone. I had never experienced anything like it. I was hooked. Eventually, I agreed to go on a date with him. We had Sunday lunch and then went to the cinema.

He invited me back to his home for drinks. I remember thinking it was funny that, despite not drinking himself, he had filled his fridge with alcohol for me. Another red flag, of course – but at the time… At the time, at the time, at the time. How much weight those three words can carry.

Again and again, he asked whether I found him attractive, as though I alone could provide the reassurance he needed.

Just before we kissed, he told me to gargle with mouthwash. It made me feel as though something was wrong with me, as though I was somehow grotesque. I am ashamed to admit that this made me try even harder to please him and comply with what he wanted.

Woman Five’s testimony has shown me that he often behaved this way. At the time, however, I believed it was something he did only to me.

I am not going to describe the rest of that night with Brand. What I will say is that, when I left the following day, I blamed myself for all the unease I felt about what had happened.

I believed I was the problem, not him. I was too prudish, not adventurous or dazzling enough for a man as charismatic and charming as Brand. I lacked the confidence and self-esteem to be the woman he apparently wanted, and on some fundamental level I felt I had failed. I felt ashamed.

As I did with so many other experiences that filled me with shame, I turned what happened into a joke.

Like Brand, I became skilled at making fun of it. It was all just a laugh, wasn’t it? We were in the middle of the Noughties, when wider culture – from music videos to comedy programmes – routinely dismissed women’s experiences. How could I have been expected to offer myself any more understanding?

I briefly referred to my encounter with Brand in a 2013 book about my chaotic, out-of-control twenties. Even now, when I read it back, I can see the shame running through the page. I tried to turn the seedy experiences I had endured into amusing anecdotes that would make people laugh rather than leave them uncomfortable.

(Sample: ‘Bryony, tell everyone the Russell Brand story,’ said a friend, with a wink and a nudge. Oh no. Not the Russell Brand story. Anything but the Russell Brand story. I grimace. Shake my head… there were… hundreds of other girls with a Russell Brand story.)

Apart from that, I did a good job of placing my experience with Brand in a box, locking it and burying it somewhere deep in my mind. I remember being surprised that he was not called out during the MeToo movement in 2017. Instead, I pushed the box even further away, convincing myself that I was probably imagining things and almost certainly overreacting.

When allegations against Brand emerged in 2023, I briefly opened the box. Even then, it felt too frightening and risky to examine. We had mutual friends, and my life was entirely different from the one I had led in 2005. I was sober, married and a mother. I had far more important things to do than spend time dwelling on Russell Brand.

I even allowed myself to wonder whether he had changed. In 2024, when it became clear that the Crown Prosecution Service was preparing a case against him, I felt brave enough to write in this column about the warning signs I had experienced in 2005. I felt physically sick with anxiety when it was published, just as I feel sick with grief and anger now.

Only in recent weeks, and because of the extraordinary courage of the women who came forward, have I been able to confront the box containing my memories of Russell Brand. I now understand that it is an all-too-familiar box, carried by many women, and that perhaps we no longer need to carry it alone or feel ashamed of what is inside.

Russell Brand was able to offend amid the blurred boundaries and cultural murkiness of the Noughties. I will always be grateful to the six women who came forward and finally brought that reality into sharp, painful focus.

I do not know whether they will ever read this, but I wish them every happiness for the rest of their lives. I want to say thank you.

Disturbing home-security footage shows the moment a Brooklyn apartment building suddenly collapsed, killing eight people and injuring 18 others.

The six-second video, obtained exclusively by Gothamist and CBS News, was recorded inside the third-floor apartment of resident Anderson Velez at 1321 Flatbush Avenue. Velez lived there with his wife and their two young children, just moments before the building gave way onto an active construction site next door.

When the footage begins, Velez’s 9-year-old son is taking a gallon of milk from the refrigerator while his 2-year-old sibling plays on the floor.

Velez’s wife suddenly opens the living-room door and begins screaming. The older child runs toward her and away from the wall just before it violently collapses.

“That movement, in my opinion, saved his life,” Velez told the local publication in Spanish.

The younger child was not able to escape and was swept beneath the rubble when the wall gave way.

Velez, who was working in the Bronx when the disaster occurred, said his wife called him in a panic as she pleaded with rescue crews to find their two sons in the debris. 

Rescuers eventually pulled the 2-year-old from the rubble. He suffered only scrapes to his forehead and legs.

“His ears were full of dirt, his nose, his little mouth, his back — his entire body was covered in dirt,” Velez said of his toddler. 

Velez said his wife suffered serious injuries to her ribs, spine and collarbone, while their 9-year-old son remained in intensive care after undergoing surgery.

“I am still in shock,” the displaced resident told Gothamist. “The truth is, I’m trying to be strong for my son, but I feel terrible.”

“Everything was going through my mind. I was thinking about my children, hoping they were OK and that nothing serious had happened to them,” he said. “God heard me because I prayed so much for their health and well-being.”

Velez also told the publication that his family had moved into the building only earlier that month after previously living in a homeless shelter.

Velez and his family are now staying at a Brooklyn hotel provided by the city for residents displaced by the collapse. 

Eight people died in the destruction, including two children, ages 9 and 10. Eighteen others were injured. 

By Thursday afternoon, the FDNY said its search-and-recovery operation at the site had concluded and confirmed that no additional victims were found.
