Despite being spotted together in what many interpreted as romantic encounters, Brooks Nader has clarified that she and actor Taron Egerton were “never” romantically involved.

The model addressed recent speculation while speaking with TMZ on Wednesday from the set of her upcoming series, “Baywatch.” She emphasized her single status, saying, “I’m just single, having fun, always.”

When asked about her dating life, Nader, 29, confirmed that she is not seeing anyone in particular. “I’m just going on fun dates, but not with anyone right now,” she said, underscoring her focus on personal enjoyment and professional endeavors.

As she prepares for her role in the much-anticipated “Baywatch,” Nader cheekily responded to inquiries about her relationship status by saying, “I’m working. I’m just Baywatching.”

Rumors of a romance between Nader and Egerton, 36, initially surfaced after Page Six reported their attendance at a screening of “Project Hail Mary,” which features Ryan Gosling, on March 27. However, Nader’s recent comments make it clear that the conjecture was unfounded.

The following day, they were seen grabbing drinks at the Shutters on the Beach hotel in Santa Monica, California.

We’re told the duo appeared “infatuated” with each other, and as if they’ve known each other for some time.

Nader and the “Rocketman” star seemingly spent a weekend together, as they were photographed holding hands and kissing on March 29.

That same night, they were seen out to dinner at the celebrity hot spot Giorgio Baldi. However, they notably kept their distance as they left the Santa Monica eatery.

Nader and Egerton took their romance overseas in April, as they were seen getting cozy off the coast of Australia.

The rumored couple’s outings continued into the following month when they enjoyed dinner with Nader’s family at Craig’s in West Hollywood, California.

They ensured to keep their distance while leaving the restaurant with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model’s parents, Holland and Breaux, and her sisters, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane.

Nader’s previous romance was with her “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Gleb Savchenko, from September 2024 to April 2025.

She was also married to businessman Billy Haire from 2019 to 2025.

As for Egerton, his last relationship was with actress Chloe Bennet in 2024.

A Texas woman is on the road to recovery after sustaining severe injuries in what she described as a brutal attack by a group of women.

The alleged reason for this violent encounter? Her backing of Karmelo Anthony.

In a detailed post on social media, the victim recounted that she and a friend had just finished a night out and were returning to her car when they were confronted by the strangers.

The attack happened in Longview, Texas, over the weekend.

The victim wrote in part, “While getting jumped they [were] yelling out ‘Free Karmelo’ — saying they [were] going to target the smallest white girl they could find.”

Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison after he stabbed and killed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet. The verdict has sparked intense debate.

On Monday, a group of civil rights and criminal defense attorneys announced they were going to join Anthony’s fight to appeal his conviction.

He has a new legal team that includes Ben Crump’s law firm.

The Longview victim said the attack was unprovoked. She also wrote in the post she “never said a word to these girls,” she “never looked at them” and indicated she did not know them prior to the attack.

In the same post, the victim wrote that the Anthony case has “nothing” to do with her yet the assault resulted in injuries including a black eye, staples in her head and significant bleeding.

News Media spoke to the victim’s father, who said she is still very shaken up over the incident but that she feels it’s important for the public to “know what happened,” when referring to her public social post.

News Media confirmed the Longview Police Department is investigating the attack and has arrested one suspect in connection to it. Police did not name the suspect.

The investigation is ongoing.

In a heated meeting on Wednesday in Washington, DC, Donald Trump clashed with Republican senators over restrictions on his authority to lead military actions against Iran.

This intense private encounter followed the Senate’s bipartisan decision, led by Republicans, to pass a measure demanding Trump cease military operations in Iran unless Congress gives its approval. Notably, four GOP senators diverged from the party line to challenge the President.

This decision represents the most pronounced pushback from Republicans against Trump so far, highlighting the growing divide between him and his party.

Behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, Trump confronted the full Republican Senate majority, pressing them to explain their decision to curtail his war-making powers.

Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana tried to articulate their perspective, only for Trump to respond with personal attacks. Cassidy, alongside fellow Republicans Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul, aligned with Democrats to pass the war powers measure.

‘He [Trump] was asking why anybody would vote for the power’s accident. I said, “Is that a rhetorical question, or do you want to know?” He goes, “I want to know.”‘ Cassidy told the Daily Mail. 

Cassidy began ‘yelling’ at the President at one point, and Trump responded by calling him a lunatic and telling him to ‘sit down.’ 

The Republican lawmaker refused and referred to Trump as ‘brother.’ The President told him he wasn’t his ‘brother’ before Cassidy eventually settled back into his seat.

Trump also mocked the senator for losing his primary, which the senator perceived as the President’s attempt to bully him.

Cassidy lost his Republican primary in May, and will leave the Senate in January, making him the first elected incumbent senator to lose a primary since 2012.

‘I’m not going to be bullied when I feel like I’m asking a question the American people need to know. And so, at that point, it began to escalate,’ Cassidy told the Daily Mail.

Trump’s meeting with the senator followed his controversial decision to abruptly cancel a signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing bill. 

The President said he would not sign the bill until the Senate passed his controversial Save America Act, which requires Americans to present a voter ID to cast an electoral ballot.

Asked about Trump’s refusal to hold the housing bill hostage, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters, ‘That was his call to make.’

As he left the Capitol building, Trump called it a ‘great meeting’ but said he was frustrated with some Republican lawmakers.

‘We like our leader. We like everybody, really, in the room,’ Trump said. ‘I don’t like a few people, but that’s okay, I think you know who they are.’

Thune did not escort the President out of the Capitol following his remarks to the press about GOP lawmakers.

Trump’s relationship with the Senate GOP has been on the decline since the President endorsed primary challengers to two Republican incumbents seen as major allies of Thune: Texas Senator John Cornyn and Cassidy.

Once a reliably loyal bloc, the chamber’s GOP majority has grown increasingly willing to break with the President on questions of war powers, spending, and the limits of executive authority.

YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, has agreed to a settlement in a lawsuit filed by a Florida teenager who claimed the platform contributed to a mental health crisis among young people. The teen asserted that YouTube’s design features encourage excessive screen time among kids.

The settlement, which remains confidential and was reached just weeks before the case was set to go to trial, highlights the ongoing struggles of major tech companies as they face increasing legal challenges. These legal pressures focus on allegations that tech platforms are intentionally crafted to boost user engagement, often at the expense of young people’s mental health.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiff, referred to as RKC in court documents, claimed that YouTube and other social media platforms are intentionally addictive. The lawsuit pointed to features like autoplay and infinite scrolling, which are designed to keep users engaged by providing a constant stream of new content.

Google verified the settlement on Monday.

“We have reached a friendly resolution, and our commitment remains firm in creating age-appropriate products along with parental controls that fulfill this commitment,” remarked Google spokesperson José Castañeda in an official statement.

The settlement removes YouTube from a closely watched California trial that is currently scheduled to begin July 27 in Los Angeles.

RKC’s lawsuit against Meta, TikTok parent ByteDance and Snap remains active.

The case is the second bellwether trial overseen by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl as part of a broader effort to resolve more than 1,000 similar lawsuits filed in California alleging social media platforms harmed children through addictive product design.

The litigation has emerged as one of the biggest legal threats facing the social media industry.

Plaintiffs across the country claim tech companies knowingly exploited children’s psychological vulnerabilities to increase engagement, advertising revenue and time spent on their apps.

RKC’s allegations closely mirror those raised in the first bellwether case earlier this year.

That trial was brought by a California woman identified as KGM who accused Meta and YouTube of intentionally designing products that fostered compulsive use among young people.

Snap and TikTok settled before that case reached a jury.

In March, jurors awarded KGM $6 million after finding Meta and YouTube liable for the mental health effects their platforms had on certain users.

The verdict marked the first time a jury held the companies legally responsible for harms tied to social media addiction claims.

The same week, another jury in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $375 million after finding the company misled users about the safety of its platforms for children.

RKC alleges that YouTube’s design features contributed to compulsive use that led to anxiety, sleep deprivation and other mental health problems.

Google has rejected claims that YouTube was irresponsibly designed.

Last month, YouTube, Meta, Snap and TikTok settled another case that was headed to trial in federal court in California.

That lawsuit was brought by a Kentucky school district that accused the companies of contributing to a student mental health crisis through addictive platform features.

Jonathan Alpert, a psychotherapist and author, told The Post the litigation is increasingly focused on platform design rather than user behavior.

“The question is no longer whether social media can affect mental health. The bigger question is where personal responsibility ends and product design begins,” he said.

“Every settlement and verdict sends a message. If they see companies writing checks instead of fighting these cases to the end, more lawsuits will likely follow,” Alpert added.

Barry Morphew is reported to have used a false identity while residing in Arizona prior to his arrest concerning the murder of his wife. According to a recently unveiled arrest report, he allegedly lived with a woman for a month, all the while keeping his true identity hidden.

A grand jury indicted Morphew for first-degree murder after careful consideration on June 20, 2025. The charges are linked to the death of Suzanne Morphew, his 49-year-old wife and mother of their two daughters. She vanished in Colorado on Mother’s Day in 2020, where the family resided. Barry Morphew was apprehended nearly 11 hours away in Goodyear, Arizona, from where her disappearance occurred.

He is slated for a status conference in court this Wednesday afternoon, ahead of his trial set for October.

The arrest report, accessible through a public records request by News Media, accuses Morphew of adopting the alias “Lee Moore” during his time in Arizona. The report mentions he cohabitated with a woman approximately a month before he was taken into custody.

News Media isn’t naming the woman, as she hasn’t been charged with a crime. The woman told troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety that she had only known Morphew as “Lee Moore.” She said he began living with her on May 1, 2025, and moved in much of his personal property. Barry Morphew and the unidentified woman met in late December 2024.

On June 15, for unknown reasons, the woman said that Morphew revealed his actual identity and claimed his wife, Suzanne Morphew, was “abducted” in Colorado, the arrest report stated.

According to an arrest report, authorities found an AR-15-style rifle and a silencer inside Morphew’s safe that was at the house he was living in.

Notably, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation first reached out to the Arizona Department of Public Safety in February, asking them to keep tabs on Morphew’s movements as a grand jury indictment was expected. A warrant was also obtained to place a GPS tracking device on his truck.

As News Media has previously reported, Morphew paid property taxes for a property at the Stardust Trailer Park in Cave Creek, Arizona, and was self-employed.

One restaurant employee in Cave Creek, Arizona, told News Media he knew Morphew by an entirely different name: Bruce.

Charlie Loots, bar manager at Harold’s Cave Creek Corral, told News Media that he didn’t know Morphew’s real name until June 20, when news reports began to surface about murder charges relating to Suzanne Morphew’s death.

“I was shocked that, again, I mean, I was very caught off guard about all of it,” Loots said. “I spent, honestly, as soon as I found about it, I spent like two hours reading articles about it. I was like, I was so intrigued, because I was, like, this s— doesn’t happen,” he said.

Loots said he began seeing Morphew, or Bruce, as he knew the murder suspect, after the coronavirus pandemic. He said Morphew’s go-to drink was beer, often switching between Miller Lite and Coors Light, adding that he was at the bar on June 13, exactly one week before his arrest.

Prosecutors wrote in the June 2025 indictment that the chemicals butorphanol, azaperone and medetomidine were found in Suzanne Morphew’s bone marrow. They alleged that Barry Morphew used “BAM” deer tranquilizer to sedate and transport deer on his farm when he lived in Indiana. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of first-degree murder.

Morphew was also the only person with a prescription for the deer tranquilizer within the area of the state he lived in, prosecutors said. The only two other entities with access to the BAM compound within the surrounding counties were Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the National Park Service, officials said.

“Ultimately, the prescription records show that when Suzanne Morphew disappeared, only one private citizen living in that entire area of the state had access to BAM: Barry Morphew,” the indictment states.

Morphew’s attorney, David Beller, previously told News Media Morphew “maintains his innocence.”

“Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence,” Beller said. “The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either.”

News Media reached out to Morphew’s lawyer for comment.
