Kim Kardashian finally addresses allegations against photographer Marcus Hyde
Kim Kardashian has broken her silence on the recent allegations that her personal photographer, Marcus Hyde, offered a model a free photoshoot in exchange for nude pictures.
“I have been reading all of the messages and stories from women regarding inappropriate and inexcusable behavior of a photographer that I have worked with in the past,” Kim wrote on her Instagram story on Tuesday. “My own experiences have always been professional, and I am deeply shocked, saddened and disappointed to learn that other women have had very different experiences.
“I stand in full support of every woman’s right to not be harassed, asked or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with,” she continued. “We cannot allow this type of behavior to go unnoticed and I applaud those who speak out.”
On Monday, Los Angeles-based model Sunnaya accused Hyde of trying to bribe her into sending him nude pictures in exchange for a free photoshoot. If she didn’t send the nudes, he would’ve charged her $2,000, she claimed. Sunnaya shared screenshots of a conversation allegedly between her and Hyde that ultimately ended with him allegedly telling her to “find someone else. I’ll keep shooting celebs.”
Ariana Grande, who frequently collaborated with Hyde, slammed him over the accusations, as did Bella Thorne, drag queen Aquaria and Michelle Visage.
The famed shutterbug survived a near-fatal car crash last year. During his recovery, Kardashian and husband Kanye West donated $25,000 to alleviate his medical costs, and in April he attended West’s Sunday Service performance at Coachella.

Mishap leaves two-year-old Missouri girl with cake saying ‘Happy Birthday, Loser’
BONNE TERRE, Mo. – A photo of a 2-year-old has gone viral after a mix-up at a Missouri Walmart left the little girl with a cake that read, “Happy Birthday, Loser.”
Melin Jones, 2-year-old Elizabeth’s mother, said she asked for the cake to read, “Happy Birthday, Lizard.”
“Lizard” is the toddler’s nickname.
Unfortunately, as Melin Jones was leaving the store, she realized the cake makers got the birthday wrong.
While the little girl looks glum in that photo, her mother went on Facebook to say the child cannot read just yet and they didn’t tell her what is said.
The mom ultimately went and got her daughter a brand new cake. This time, she opted to use Elizabeth’s name instead.
The cake mistake actually occurred last September but Melin Jones reposted the photos in a Facebook group and people in the group asked her to make the photos public so they could be shared.

Georgia woman allegedly drops, kills baby during fight
MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Georgia woman is accused of dropping and fatally injuring her 3-month-old baby during an altercation with another woman.
WALB-TV reports 26-year-old Karen Lashun Harrison was charged with felony murder, cruelty to children and simple battery.
Moultrie Police Lt. Freddie Williams says Harrison got into a fight Friday with a woman at a beauty supply store and dropped the baby onto the pavement. The baby was taken to the hospital Saturday with a head injury where he later died.
Harrison told police the baby was injured when he fell from family friend Carneata Clark’s arms. Clark corroborated the story. She’s charged with false statements and obstruction of an officer.
The other woman involved in the fight hasn’t been charged.
Williams says more arrests are possible.
It’s unclear whether Harrison and Clark have attorneys.

Dad killed teen he thought got his daughter hooked on drugs
A Pennsylvania dad fatally shot a teenage boy because he believed the 17-year-old got his daughter hooked on drugs, according to a criminal complaint.
Michael D’Biagio, 41, still had his gun when officers arrived at a New Castle pizza shop where 17-year-old employee Darren Jevcak had been shot dead in the parking lot, New Castle police said in a statement.
The dad admitted shooting Jevcak “five or six times” — saying it was because the teen “got his daughter on drugs or coke,” according to a criminal complaint obtained by the New Castle News.
D’Biagio told cops that his daughter had been sneaking out of the house to buy and smoke marijuana and was also using cocaine with Jevcak, according to the complaint.
After confronting his daughter, he called Jevcak, who told him he was at work — and the dad left his wife and daughter at a mall to go home to Beaver Falls and fetch his gun, the complaint says, then drove to the pizza shop and shot him multiple times when he saw him leave via a back door.
“He realized he had shot Jevcak in the arm and Jevcak went down to the ground,” the criminal complaint said, according to the News.
“D’Biagio said he shot Jevcak (again) so that he could put (him) out of his misery because (he) looked to be in shock.”
A neighbor said the dad remained at the scene, talking to other Scustie’s Pizza Shop employees who rushed out — and then lying down on the ground when cops arrived, according to the report.
He was arrested and is being charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault, according to the police statement.
Jevcak was treated at the scene by McGonigle Ambulance Services, then taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Tom Brady is being dad-shamed after diving off a cliff with his 6-year-old daughter
NFL superstar Tom Brady made a splash after he posted a video of a cliff dive he took with his young daughter.
The video, posted on Friday on the New England Patriot quarterback’s Facebook and Instagram pages, shows Brady and his daughter Vivi standing near the edge of a cliff.
In the heartpounding video, Brady grabs his daughter’s hand, counts to three, and then leaps off the cliff with her straight into the water.
It’s not clear where or when the video was recorded.
“If Vivi is going to be an Olympic champion one day, it probably won’t be in synchronized diving,” Brady wrote in the post. “Daddy always give her a 10 though!”
The reactions to the video were definitely mixed. While some commenters to the video didn’t think what Brady did with his daughter was all that risky, others felt that it was very dangerous.
“When she hesitated, he could of dislocated her shoulder! He snatched her into the water! Smmfh…,” one commenter wrote.
“OMGGGG! HOW irresponsible is that…poor baby, she wasn’t even ready to jump!” wrote another.
Even The Rock weighed in, writing in a comment, “You KNOW I have complete faith in you as a man, friend, player and father – but this just gave me anxiety. Geeezus.”
But plenty of fans came to his defense, too.
“I loved the fact that she wanted to do this. Daddy helped her be brave,” wrote one.
“There are always going to be some people that don’t, like Tom. Get off your couch and experience life, nature, challenge yourself, you will be happy you did,” wrote another.
This isn’t the first time that Brady has taken such a leap. Back in 2015, he posted a video to Facebook of him jumping off a cliff feet first into water while vacationing in Costa Rica. He put the hashtag #AirBrady on the post, with the caption, “Never doing that again.”
Well, never say never.
Other celebs have been criticized
Other celebrity parents have faced criticisms over pictures and videos they have posted to social media that featured their children.
In August 2017, Kim Kardashian West was bashed after she shared a photo of her son Saint in his car seat. Some pointed out that the toddler should be in a rear-facing seat for his safety. But Kardashian later posted a video on her site explaining that her son was the right weight and height for a forward-facing car seat.
In July of that same year, Victoria Beckham was mommy shamed after sharing a photo of herself kissing her young daughter on the lips. Many commenters complained that was inappropriate, but several moms posting similar photos of themselves kissing their kids on the lips as a show of support for Beckham.
Pop superstar Beyonce was criticized in 2014 about the state of daughter’s Blue Ivy hair. An online petition asking Beyonce to comb the girl’s hair garnered more than 5,000 signatures.
And criticism of celebrity parents goes back further than the era of social media.
The late Michael Jackson was roundly criticized in 2002 after he dangled his baby boy from the fourth floor balcony of a hotel in Berlin to show the child off to fans. He later apologized.
CNN has reached out to the New England Patriots for comment and is waiting to hear back.

Man with injured hip scaled flaming 19-story building to save his bedridden mother
The man who scaled a burning 19-story building in West Philadelphia last week wasn’t trying to escape the flames, as people initially assumed.
The man, identified only as Jermaine, was climbing to the 15th floor to save his bedridden mother. And he did it all with an injured hip.
CNN affiliate WPVI spoke with the hero, 35, who said he received a call from his sister Thursday night that their mother’s apartment building was on fire and she couldn’t get out.
Rushing to the scene, Jermaine said, he first tried to enter through the front door, but it was blocked by police.
“They said the elevators are not working,” he said. He told officers he could just take the stairs. “They were like, ‘we can’t let you in.’
“I took it upon myself because that’s my mother. There’s no limits. That’s my mother.”
He’d hurt his hip on some stairs earlier that day, Jermaine says, but adrenaline took over. He started climbing the fenced-in balconies of the building with wire cutters handy.
“When I grabbed a gate, at the top of the gate, there was a ledge. Then I could step on top of the ledge and reach up to the other gate and keep climbing my way up,” Jermaine said.
He said he was worried about his mother’s safety, not his.
“She can’t get out of the bed or walk around, so if there’s a fire, she needs help out,” he said.
Once he made it to his mother, she told him that she was OK and that the fire was contained.
“She was more shocked,” he said. “She’s not surprised by the things that I do for her. She knows I’ll go over and beyond for her.”
The fire was believed to have been started by a trash compactor, WPVI reported. Four people and three firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation.
Jermaine climbed down just as easily as he went up. His progress down the building was captured on a video that was shared widely online Thursday.
He told WPVI that he thought he would be arrested as soon as he got down. A police officer told him that if he didn’t leave, he’d go to jail.
Reached for comment, the Philadelphia Police Department told CNN they didn’t have any details on the man “as there was no crime committed.”
“He actually did cut me a break,” Jermaine said. “He understood the circumstances. He knew — when your adrenaline is pumping and your mom is up there, you thinking she’s dying — you’d do anything you can.”

Man phones in fake bomb threat to get date with flight attendant
A 65-year-old Serbian man allegedly phoned in a fake bomb threat last week in the hope of keeping a flight attendant who refused a date with him in the country, according to media reports.
The unidentified man confessed to the hoax, which caused Lufthansa Flight LH1411 to be evacuated before taking off from Belgrade to Frankfurt, Germany, Sky News reported.
“This morning at 6 am an unknown person called and reported there was a bomb on the plane bound for Frankfurt,” Serbia’s interior ministry said in a statement after the threat was called in.
The man told authorities he met two flight attendants earlier and that they had declined his dinner invitation. He became smitten with one of them and allegedly phoned in the fake threat to keep her in the country after failing to find her hotel, according to the news outlet.
The threat resulted in the evacuation of 130 passengers and five crew members from the plane. A search of the aircraft by police yielded nothing suspicious. The flight was delayed for eight hours, with some passengers choosing to book alternative flights rather than wait.
The airline did not return Fox News’ request for comment Saturday.
Authorities were able to trace the location from which the call was made and the suspect was arrested Friday. Prosecutors are asking he be kept in police custody.
The outlet said he’s been charged with causing panic and disorder.

In a recently resurfaced recording, Trump proposed a white-versus-black-contestant season of ‘The Apprentice’
In 2005, Donald Trump had an idea to boost ratings for “The Apprentice,” his TV show that premiered a year earlier. He suggested putting an all-white team against an all-black team, apparently believing that it would become the highest-rated show on television if the network did so.
He floated the idea on Howard Stern’s radio show in April 2005, according to The New York Times.
“Do you like it?” Trump asked Stern. To which he replied: “Yes.”
Trump then asked Stern’s African-American cohost, Robin Quivers, the same question. “Well,” she said, “I think you’re going to have a riot.”
But Trump wasn’t too concerned about the potential ramifications of the show. “I think that it would be handled very beautifully by me, because, as you know, I’m very diplomatic,” he told Stern, adding that while there would be a mix of light-skinned and dark-skinned black contestants, the white team would consist solely of people with blond hair.
The show never came to fruition, as NBC executives immediately rejected his proposal, The Times said. An NBC representative did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment on this.
The Times used this example in a recent piece discussing whether Trump had used racial divisions in the US for his personal gain.
“Over decades in business, entertainment and now politics, Mr. Trump has approached America’s racial, ethnic, and religious divisions opportunistically, not as the nation’s wounds to be healed but as openings to achieve his goals, whether they be ratings, fame, money, or power, without regard for adverse consequences,” The Times wrote on Saturday.
The story was most likely prompted by Trump’s tweets last Sunday in which he suggested that a group of four Democratic congresswomen of color should “go back” to their “corrupt” and “broken and crime infested” countries — even though all are US citizens and three were born in the US.
He said the congresswomen were “loudly” and “viciously telling the people of the United States” how its government should be run.
