Alli Dore, renowned from her days on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, has recently undergone a bold and debated cosmetic surgery.

The 37-year-old reality TV personality traveled to the tropical paradise of Bali, Indonesia, accompanied by other celebrities and influencers, to undergo the ‘rib recontouring’ procedure.

This intriguing surgery consists of a dual process: initially, liposuction is performed on the waist, then the lower ribs are fractured and reshaped to achieve a slimmer waistline.

Dore caused quite a stir among her social media followers when she shared the transformation results on Instagram, even though she’s still in recovery.

“Just under halfway at 5.5 weeks out of 12 and already convinced this is the best thing I’ve done,” she excitedly shared with her audience.

‘Thank you to the @_snatchedwaist team for making this such a positive experience!’

Fans were divided in the comments, with some praising the results, while others felt that Dore didn’t need to go under the knife. 

‘You looked so much better before, you looked healthier. But it’s your body and your decision so at the end of the day if it makes you feel happier that’s the only thing that is important,’ commented one. 

‘She is beautiful before and after as well. Stop the negative comments. You need to do what makes you happy and feel good,’ wrote another. 

A third wrote, ‘As women, let’s celebrate whatever makes another woman happy.’

Fellow Below Deck star Ashling Lorger even weighed in, writing, ‘Woah, how amazing!’ 

Daily Mail has contacted Dore for comment.  

Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr Cat Begovic previously warned Daily Mail about the potential risks of the controversial surgery.

‘Rib remodelling is a relatively new procedure, only becoming known to the public in the last few years,’ Dr Begovic explained.

‘Older versions of this procedure involved removing the lower ribs, but newer techniques involve making cuts in the lower ribs and then fracturing them inward.’ 

‘Patients need to wear a tight corset 24/7 for at least three months while the bones heal and mould into the smaller shape.’

Dr Begovic said while many patients are drawn to the dramatic waist-cinching effect, there are serious medical risks that cannot be ignored – including complications that can affect breathing.

‘Because the ribs are right next to the lungs there is a potential of developing a pneumothorax – where the sac around the lung is torn causing air to rush in and compress the lung, or injury to the lung itself,’ she said.

‘The biggest concern I have regarding this procedure is that there have been no long-term studies on the potential health risks.’

‘Other than lung injury, there can be chronic pain, possible decreased lung function, or compromise to the protection that the ribs provide.’

Dore starred on the second season of Bravo’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht back in 2021.

After appearing on the hit show, the mother-of-one admitted that she’d dealt with body image issues and an eating disorder.

‘I didn’t eat much, I thought being skinny was the only way to be confident,’ she reflected in a social media post. 

‘These dark little demons are hard to fight and I know how many women (and men!) can relate to that mentality which for some can push you to forget how to love the skin you’re in.’

She also admitted that she’d felt insecure about wearing a bikini on camera during Below Deck Sailing Yacht, but has since found the confidence to accept her body.

‘Now, my priority isn’t to be as thin as I can, it is to fuel my body with healthy plant based nutrients and prioritise fitness and being active for my mental wellbeing, lifestyle and enjoyment, not solely to lose weight,’ she wrote. 

‘My body changed so much since I turned my life around and just getting used to a different body type was a whole journey in itself,’ she continued.

‘But being fit and prioritising nutrition means I get to enjoy life in a way that makes my heart sing.’

A man from California found himself facing more than three years behind bars for his actions in a violent face-off during last year’s anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles. The individual, after admitting his guilt, was penalized for deliberately targeting law enforcement officers amidst the turmoil.

On Monday, 42-year-old Ismael Vega from the Westlake area of Los Angeles, received a 37-month prison sentence. Additionally, he was ordered to reimburse $253,415 as restitution for his involvement in the June 8, 2025, incident, as revealed by the Justice Department.

In a statement shared on social media platform X, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli remarked, “Those who attack our brave officers protecting public safety will face federal prison time for their crimes. Let this be a warning to others who think they can act without consequences.”

Earlier in April, Vega entered a plea of guilty to charges of obstructing, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder.

Court documents unfolded Vega’s presence amidst a significant gathering on the Main Street overpass above U.S. Highway 101. The protest, initially aimed at federal immigration enforcement, spiraled into violence.

Prosecutors said Vega knew California Highway Patrol officers were trapped beneath the overpass when rioters began dropping burning debris, fireworks and other objects toward a California Highway Patrol (CHP) patrol vehicle parked below.

Court records show Vega repeatedly helped others ignite debris before setting a large piece of cardboard on fire himself. He then held the burning cardboard over the railing, lined it up with the hood of the CHP vehicle and dropped it onto the cruiser.

As the cardboard burned, Yachua Mauricio Flores, 23, poured a liquid onto the flames, causing the fire to grow as Vega stood nearby and gestured toward the blaze, according to prosecutors.

Vega also admitted throwing multiple rocks at officers as they attempted to clear the overpass. He acknowledged that the burning debris and other objects created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to the officers below.

“This civil disorder stood apart in its magnitude,” federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum.

Prosecutors cited a statement from a CHP sergeant with nearly three decades in law enforcement who described the impact the attack had on him and his son.

“His experience underscores how violent this incident became and the deep toll it took on all law enforcement present,” prosecutors wrote.

The attack unfolded two days after violence erupted against federal agents carrying out immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.

Federal prosecutors previously charged seven people in connection with the overpass attack.

According to court documents, Vega, Flores and Adam Charles Palermo, 40, helped drop burning debris toward the CHP vehicle while others threw rocks at officers trying to clear the overpass.

Vega is the fifth person sentenced in the case.

Flores is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 3 and faces up to five years in federal prison.

Palermo, whom prosecutors identified as the lead person charged in the case, is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 14 after pleading guilty to assaulting, resisting and impeding people assisting federal officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Things took an unexpected twist during Tuesday night’s Yankees broadcast. Surprisingly, it wasn’t even the game that grabbed attention.

As the YES network cameras focused on Gerrit Cole as he strolled through the dugout in the fifth inning, former Yankees skipper and current analyst Joe Girardi had a sharp exchange with broadcaster Michael Kay.

The reason? Kay used the arm of his glasses to stir his tea.

Kay explained that while Jennifer, the attentive Yankees stage manager, kindly brought him a cup of tea, she forgot to include a stirrer, prompting his unconventional choice.

Girardi did not hesitate to express his disapproval of this innovative stirring method.

“Let’s talk about what you did last half inning,” Girardi said. “You ask for tea, hot tea. Not sure why, I don’t know if you’re cold. And Jennifer was nice enough to give you your tea and your Equal. You steeped, and then you added your Equal. That dissolves, that dissolves! And you stirred it with your glasses.”

Though Girardi argued that the sweetener dissolves on its own and that Kay didn’t need to use his glasses, Kay disagreed. 

Girardi then jokingly asked Kay if he took science classes in school, and Kay said yes, despite Girardi saying that the laws of physics don’t exist in Kay’s house. 

“That’s a first for me, I’ve never seen anyone do that,” Girardi said. “That’s why I was taken aback.”

“If we work together for another 10 years, you’re going to see it a lot,” Kay replied. 

After spending four years with the team as a player, Girardi managed the Yankees from 2008-17, helping the team win its 27th World Series in 2009. 

Before his final season with the club in 2017, Girardi made the playoffs five other times. 

He then became the Phillies manager in 2020 but was fired early in 2022 after a slow start. 

Girardi has worked with the Yankees broadcast team since 2024, and was on the call with Kay for the Yankees 3-2 win over the White Sox Tuesday night.

ROME (AP) — In a landmark judgment, Italy’s supreme court has affirmed that a child born with dual citizenship—Italian and another nationality—retains Italian citizenship even if their parent subsequently naturalizes in another country. This significant legal decision is set to bolster the citizenship claims of descendants of Italian expatriates across the globe.

The court’s ruling resolves a persistent legal quandary known as the “Minor Issue,” which has impacted thousands of cases where ancestry-based citizenship was in question. Many of these cases involve families who emigrated from Italy between the late 1800s and early 1900s, authorities highlight.

Announced Sunday and released to the public on Wednesday, the decision was handed down by the Court of Cassation’s top panel, responsible for clarifying conflicting legal interpretations.

At the heart of this legal conundrum was a debate about whether minors automatically forfeited their Italian citizenship when their Italian parent acquired a foreign nationality.

A restrictive reading of the law, first adopted by the judiciary in 2023, led to the rejection of many applications from subsequent generations. Authorities perceived this as a break in the continuous line of citizenship inheritance.

What the court decided

In its new ruling, the court said that under Italy’s historical citizenship laws, children who were already Italian citizens by birth under the principle of “iure sanguinis,” or citizenship by bloodline, did not automatically lose their Italian citizenship when a parent became a citizen of another country.

The court clarified that children born in countries that automatically grant citizenship at birth — including the United States — retained their Italian citizenship even if their parents later naturalized there. Because they remained Italian citizens, they could pass that citizenship on to subsequent generations.

The ruling represents a reversal of recent practice

Lawyer Marco Mellone, who represented applicants in the case, explained that the ruling reversed a restrictive interpretation that had blocked citizenship claims in recent years, many by U.S. citizens.

What the decision means for people of Italian ancestry

The decision could have broad implications for descendants of Italian emigrants, particularly in North and South America, where large Italian diaspora communities have ancestral ties to Italy. Mellone estimated that several hundred thousand families may have been affected by the restrictive interpretation adopted in recent years.

Legal experts say the judgment is likely to strengthen the position of applicants whose claims were rejected solely because of the Minor Issue and provide authoritative guidance to judges handling pending cases. The ruling could also influence how Italian administrative authorities and consulates assess future citizenship applications.

Whether the Interior Ministry and Italian consulates formally adjust their practices to reflect the court’s interpretation remains unclear. However, decisions issued by the panel — known as the “Sezioni Unite” or United Sections — carry particular weight because they are intended to resolve conflicting interpretations of the law.

Mellone noted that “there’s no one above” the panel, which has only very rarely reversed decisions.

The ruling comes as Italy faces growing demand for citizenship by descent and legal disputes over the scope of ancestry-based citizenship rights.

Separately, a law championed by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani that restricts citizenship transmission through more distant generations has been referred to the European Union’s Court of Justice, with proceedings expected next year.
