Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Under Active Investigation for Sexual Misconduct

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Back in February, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s stunned face went viral following his arrest and questioning.

Authorities have been asking for leads as they investigate him and gather evidence.

Now, police have revealed that they’re looking into a very specific report of sexual misconduct on the part of the disgraced former prince.

Not being a prince is a consequence, not a legal penalty. There is hope that Andrew could face real accountability through the justice system.

Police aren’t mincing words as they pursue new evidence

Authorities in the UK are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on allegations of sexual misconduct.

On Friday, May 22, Thames Valley police issued a press release.

According to the release, inspectors (British for detectives) are looking into an alleged incident involving a woman and the disgraced former prince in 2010.

Investigators are hoping that the woman will cooperate. They have made contact with her attorney, but have not named her publicly.

The release emphasizes that they promise to approach the investigation with “care, sensitivity, and respect for her privacy and her right for anonymity.”

It sounds like this particular woman may need considerable coaxing.

Historically, police investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct often appear to be investigations of the victim as much as the perpetrator — if not more.

(There is an entire, extremely successful television series — Law & Order: SVU — addressing these inadequacies in policing from a fictional standpoint, and it’s actually had some positive effects upon pushing for reforms, such as undoing rape kit backlogs across the nation.)

In the case of Andrew’s accusers, one can only imagine the sorts of pressures that they must have faced when accusing Queen Elizabeth’s own son of wrongdoing.

The entire world has learned so much about Andrew since then, seeing jarring photographs from the Epstein files. Hopefully, this means that women can share their horror stories without fear of reprisal.

Scandal turned into something worse months ago, when photos became public

Last year, the Epstein files began to be released.

They are still not out, as required by law, because Trump’s DOJ is in open defiance of congress.

However, not all of the predators within the released files receive the extensive redactions and protections that Trump himself did.

Andrew’s name and photos show up extensively.

One particularly damning photo shows the loathsome royal poised over an unidentified woman or girl on the floor of a room. She is lying flat, and it is unclear whether she is conscious.

There are limits to even how far being a duke and (now former) prince will protect someone from the law.

King Charles stripped Andrew of his princely title and land as the royal firm seeks to distance itself from him.

Reportedly, William and Kate loathe Andrew. Whether it’s true or simply a story circulated to disassociate them from his alleged crimes remains unknown.

Some have mistaken the stripping of his royal privileges as the same as legal consequences, as if it were the same as a prosecution, a conviction, a prison sentence.

But, just as with other powerful men who have (at most, usually) not gotten some film roles after being exposed as monsters, it is wrong to confuse people avoiding association with criminal penalties.

Social sanction is only a first step when someone is revealed to be utterly despicable. The legal process is longer and requires different types of evidence. But there is hope that Andrew could actually be held accountable.

Khloé Kardashian Confesses to Declawing Cats, Expresses Deep Regrets After Being …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Khloé Kardashian admitted on camera that she had both cats declawed.

She now deeply regrets the mutilation, which is not only painful but puts both felines at added risk.

Khloé says that she was “misadvised” about the procedure.

Perhaps owning up to this mistake will help others to not do the same.

Though Khloé Kardashian herself is often sporting talons, she admitted to having her cats declawed on the May 20 episode of her podcast. (Image Credit: YouTube)

‘I was really misadvised’

On the Wednesday, May 20 episode of her Khloé In Wonder Land podcast, the eponymous host shared a confession.

Her cats are both declawed.

She got Grey Kitty and Baby Kitty (not original names, but thinking back to my stuffed animals as a kid, I have no room to talk) for her daughter, True Thompson, who is now 8 years old.

(Don’t forget, she is also a mother to 3-year-old Tatum.)

Khloé seems to know that this is indefensible, telling viewers: “I was really misadvised about getting my cats declawed.”

‘I feel really, really terrible’

“I’ve never owned cats before,” Khloé explained. “I didn’t even know that was a thing.”

She expressed: “I feel really, really terrible that I did go in this direction.”

Khloé has personally observed that the notoriously cruel declawing procedure has made her cats “miserable.”

In addition to the innate wrongness of removing parts of a cat’s body (sometimes likened to removing entire joints of a human’s fingers), there is also a safety issue.

No cats should be allowed to simply wander around outside. But, for Khloé’s cats, they would be in even more danger than other housecats whose owners effectively feed them to coyotes.

‘It makes me sad’

“My cats wear Air Tags,” she continued during the podcast episode. “Like, they’re not allowed to even go near a door.”

Khloé expressed: “I’m so afraid if they get out, because they have no way to defend themselves.”

She lamented: “They’ve lost their protection tools, so it makes me sad.”

Any housecat would be effectively defenseless against coyotes or cars, to say nothing of parasites, budding serial killers, and other outdoor hazards that indoor cats will never experience.

But Khloé is correct when she notes that a regular housecat who slipped out could at least stand a chance of startling a predator or discouraging a stray dog or alley cat before bolting to make their escape. A cat without claws simply cannot.

California has now joined several other states in banning the procedure

It is easy — and not necessarily wrong — to blame a cat’s human when a cat is subjected to this kind of mutilation.

However, as is clearly the case with Khloé, it’s too often the case where the responsible party believes that they are receiving solid veterinary advice. Declawing is sometimes (though rarely) advised alongside very good things, like spaying and vaccinating one’s cat, giving them dewormers and flea treatments, and more.

Some suggest that perhaps more emphasis should be placed upon veterinarians who agree to perform these treatments without medical need.

(This also comes up with parents making choices for human children, including irreversible mutilations such as circumcision. The medical professional who performs the act without question has fewer excuses for wrongdoing than the parent, more often than not.)

We actually think that it’s an indisputably good thing for Khloé to both admit to having declawed her cats and to emphasize why, for multiple reasons, it is so deeply wrong.

Like it or not, she has a massive platform and is tremendously influential. It is good for her to both own up to her mistake and to discourage others from doing the same.

Bam Margera Accused of Giving THC Product to 8-Year-Old Son

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Bam Margera’s parenting has come into question quite a lot in recent years.

And now, the Jackass star is facing what might be his most damaging allegation yet.

Bam has been locked in a nasty custody battle with his baby mama, Nikki Boyd, and in a recent court filing, Boyd accuses him of providing a weed-infused product to their 8-year-old son, Phoenix.

According to Nikki, Bam has mostly been an absentee dad.

And when he is around, he allegedly lacks boundaries in a way that could endanger their son’s health.

Bam is sober from alcohol and hard drugs these days, but he recently launched his own line of THC products, and Nikki alleges that he gave a cannabis roll-on to Phoenix (per TMZ).

It sounds like she was able to intervene before Phoenix used the product, but still — if any part of that story is true, it’s not a great look for Bam.

And according to Nikki, that’s just one aspect of Bam’s shoddy parenting.

She claims that under the terms of their original custody agreement, Bam had permission to visit Phoenix 48 weekend days, but he only visited seven times, and he only once stayed the full four hours.

Again, we have no idea if these allegations are true, but it’s sad to see Bam making headlines for all the wrong reasons after months of progress.

In 2023, Bam went missing, and his family and friends said they feared for his life. He was eventually placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Against all odds, Bam turned his life around and even started skateboarding again, something that once seemed a physical impossibility.

And after years of alienation from his Jackass colleagues, Bam will appear in the franchise’s upcoming final film.

Hopefully, all that progress won’t be undone, and Bam and Nikki will be able to come to some sort of amicable custody agreement.

Matt Brown Rambles & Undresses in Public Park, Alarming ‘Alaskan Bush …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

No matter how much money you make or how much you fake roughing it on camera, raising your family in the wilderness probably isn’t a great idea.

We’ve reported on numerous issues for the former stars of Alaskan Bush People, from trouble with the law to allegations of serious wrongdoing.

Matt Brown is the latest member of the family to (once again) set off alarm bells. This time, he livestreamed nude while seemingly intoxicated, all while wandering around outdoors.

He does not appear well. But most of the Brown family has cut ties with him. Who can help him now?

He’s been struggling for a while now

During a recent YouTube livestream, Matt — the eldest of the Alaskan Bush People family’s adult children — appeared in a state of undress.

Many social media commenters observed that he seemed to be intoxicated, though obviously we cannot say for sure without medical evidence or his acknowledgment.

Matt, who is in his mid-40s, was wandering through a public park in Washington state during the Tuesday, May 19 broadcast.

The video showed him just sort of rambling at listeners. Rambling livestreams are not uncommon, especially in an age of increasing social isolation for streamers and audiences alike, but this seemed off.

To top it all off, as we mentioned, he at one point appeared to be carrying a gun. All together, it’s a very alarming combination of choices that he has made.

TMZ spoke to sources within the Brown family, and learned that most of them are — by choice — no longer in his life.

Approximately 5 years ago, the family’s late patriarch, Billy Brown, decided that his eldest son’s alleged struggles were too much.

(We know that Matt has publicly discussed his issues with alcohol specifically, but the implication seems to be that there’s more than alcohol involved, which may simply mean mental health.)

Ami Brown, the family matriarch, at first hesitated to cut off contact with her firstborn.

However, it was Matt’s own siblings who convinced her that keeping him at a distance would be better.

His struggles have been an open secret for years

Billy Brown died back in 2021.

The family, and even Alaskan Bush People viewers, had been familiar with Matt’s behavioral struggles for years before that.

These days, TMZ learned, Gabe Brown is the only member of the family who’s still in contact with his eldest brothers.

Even then, the report details, contact is said to be “rare.”

The source likened Matt to a “functional drunk” who could quickly spiral into paranoia and dark thoughts without any warning.

Even when Alaskan Bush People was still running, Matt ended up leaving the show to enter rehab back in 2019.

After that, he moved to rural Washington.

(Remember, the family as a whole relocated multiple times … and, for its final years, Alaskan Bush People filmed in Washington.)

However, Matt has maintained an online presence, one primarily consisting of people who watched his family’s show on Discovery.

Unfortunately, he has a lot of fans worried. It seems that there is little that anyone can do until Matt agrees that he needs help.

Trump Administration Responds to Claim That Nicki Minaj Is Seeking Pardons For Husband, …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Earlier this year, fans were more than a little surprised when Nicki Minaj declared herself Donald Trump’s biggest fan.

Prior to coming out as a MAGA diehard, Nicki had made very few overtly political remarks over the course of her long career.

And she expressed her support for Trump at a time when his approval numbers were in freefall, so she couldn’t have thought it would be a savvy career move.

Not surprisingly, lots of people jumped to the conclusion that Nicki was hoping to curry favor with the Trump administration.

After all, Trump has a history of offering presidential pardons to his rich and famous supporters.

And Nicki has quite a few people in her life who could use pardons.

Her husband, Kenneth Petty, is a convicted rapist who is forced to register as a sex offender. In 2022, he was sentenced to a year of house arrest for failing to do so.

Then there’s Nicki’s brother, Jelani Maraj, who is serving a life sentence after being convicted of raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter.

Needless to say, Nicki’s inner circle could benefit from a few pardons.

The situation came to a head earlier this week when famed songwriter Linda Petty tweeted that Minaj must “want something from The Office” (via Radar Online).

The tweet prompted Trump media and campaign strategist Alex Bruesewitz to lash out on X (formerly Twitter).

“This is a disgusting and disgraceful smear that every Democrat and Trump critic is spreading about Nicki Minaj,” Bruesewitz ranted on X after Perry’s comments gained traction online.

“Nicki has never once asked the President for anything. She has only offered assistance and support,” he continued:

“The insinuation that she’s looking for anything in return is total garbage.”

Nicki is not an American citizen and therefore cannot vote in US elections, but she’s aligned herself with Republican causes in recent months.

Minaj has boasted about receiving a Trump “gold card” and inching closer to citizenship, but it doesn’t seem that that’s happened for her yet.

These days, lots of folks are watching the situation closely and wondering if Nicki will receive any favors from the White House. It wouldn’t be a good look, but that hasn’t stopped Trump in the past.

T.J. Holmes & Amy Robach: We’ve Picked a Wedding Date!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Save the date!

T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach have been engaged since last summer.

Now, they’re revealing that they’ve set the date for their much anticipated wedding.

As it turns out, they shared even more about their plans than they’d intended.

‘I had a date that I really wanted’

On Tuesday, May 19, T.J. and Amy joined Bill and Giuliana: The Podcast‘s second episode.

When faced with the question of whether the have a the wedding date, T.J. confirmed: “We do.”

Interestingly, Amy immediately expressed surprise.

“Are you okay with that date?” she asked her fiance. “I had a date that I really wanted.”

Amy marveled: “You’re just telling me now on the podcast that you’re okay with that date?”

According to T.J., he’d been hesitant until faced with the question. That was when he knew.

“Being here with them made me more comfortable,” he explained.

Truth be told, it is not uncommon for people to appear indecisive or even unaware of something important until faced with a question. Our thoughts are complex and thinking can be more contextual than we’d care to admit.

With that out of the way, there is one natural question that follows.

When are T.J. and Amy getting married?

So, when is the big day?

T.J. and Amy declined to share their planned wedding date on the podcast.

However, they did shed light on aspects of their plans.

“There is a way we want to get married that we haven’t revealed necessarily,” T.J. teased, “but it would be very special to us.”

He continued: “We can’t say what that is. That’s a big thing for us.”

For the moment, Amy went on to explain, their priority is spending plenty of quality time together.

“This will be our third marriage, both of us,” Amy pointed out.

“We’ve both been married twice before, and we want to maximize the amount of time we have together,” she continued.

Amy affirmed: “We want to enjoy as much of that as we can.”

Sometimes, people who have been cheated on, or people who grew up with a cheating parent, overcompensate and become joined-at-the-hip with their next partner.

It arguably makes sense that a couple who ended up together before their respective marriages ended might have a similar reaction, even if they were not the victims of cheating.

Anyway, we’ll look forward to wedding details as they continue to share them.

Who Won ‘Survivor’ Season 50? (And What Was the Deal With Jeff Probst’s …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The tribe has spoken.

Aubry Bracco officially won Survivor 50 during Wednesday night’s dramatic finale, defeating fellow finalists Jonathan Young and Joe Hunter to claim the title of Sole Survivor.

And yes, fans had plenty to say about it.

Bracco — who first competed on Survivor: Kaôh Rōng before returning for Game Changers and Edge of Extinction — entered the season as one of the franchise’s most recognizable returning players.

But after years of near-misses and unfinished business, the marketing consultant from Hampton Falls, New Hampshire finally sealed the deal.

The Season 50 finale was already shaping up to be intense, with five castaways entering the last episode:

In addition to Aubry, Jonathan, and Joe, there was Tiffany Ervin and Rizo Velovic. By the end of the night, only three remained standing at Final Tribal Council.

Of course, because this is Survivor, the road to victory was anything but smooth.

In one especially awkward moment, longtime host Jeff Probst accidentally spoiled part of the finale during a live segment when he prematurely identified Rizo Velovic as a jury member before the fire-making challenge had even aired. Whoops.

As someone who missed the Will Smith slap live, this was the wildest live TV moment I’ve ever seen. RIP to whoever just lost their job #Survivor50 pic.twitter.com/Qyi6nwJXNL

— Wyatt (@wyattmetzger99) May 21, 2026

The on-air blunder immediately confused contestants and audience members alike, briefly turning the finale into a chaotic mess before the show pivoted back to the pre-recorded challenge footage.

Still, the live-TV mishap wasn’t enough to overshadow Bracco’s long-awaited win.

This season’s prize was especially massive, too. In honor of the franchise’s landmark 50th installment, CBS boosted the grand prize to $2 million, double the show’s traditional payout.

For longtime viewers, Bracco’s victory will likely feel overdue.

After years of being viewed as one of the best players never to win, she finally got her redemption story — even if the finale itself nearly turned into a blooper reel.

Fifty seasons in, Survivor still knows how to deliver drama. Sometimes intentionally. Congrats to Aubry!
