Maitland Ward Slams Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Disgusting’ OnlyFans Scene on …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Even if you’ve never watched a single second of the show, you’ve probably heard about Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans storyline on Euphoria Season 3.

Sydney’s character, Cassie, is seen filming increasingly outrageous content as she builds her following and gains financial freedom.

One scene in particular — in which Sydney is seen wearing a diaper and acting like a baby — has received especially harsh criticism.

The scene has gained backlash not only from viewers who were caught off guard, but also from adult content creators who say it badly misrepresents their profession.

One such creator is Maitland Ward, the former mainstream actress who now makes her living in the adult industry.

“There’s all sorts of stuff that you can’t do,” Ward said in a recent interview with TMZ, adding:

“The whole child-baby thing is so disgusting … You just can’t go into that whole underage thing like that. I mean, you can do it to an extent if it’s very, very playful, like, you’re an adult being childlike or something. But just the way it was handled was so gross, and it’s just disgusting and vile.”

She further explained, “You don’t want pedophilia anywhere near pornography.”

Ward went on to allege that Euphoria “is making fun of OnlyFans creators” rather than “celebrating” them.

“It’s saying how weird and creepy they are,” she said. “There’s so many creators who are really working hard to build their brands every day, and this is really disingenuous.”

Ward went on to blast Euphoria, its writers, and even Sydney herself for denigrating sex workers:

“Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal of an OnlyFans creator is setting sex workers real individuals with lives, families, and jobs back by making a mockery not only of what they choose to do with their bodies and lives, but of them as human beings,” she said, adding:

“This show is treating sex work like a circus act, a freak show. And of course, they use the traditional blonde, boobie-bimbo stereotype who will do anything for money and a jolt of fame, including posing as a dog licking a bowl and serving up pedophilia fantasies, as the one who goes into sex work.

“Because, of course, you couldn’t go into sex work unless you were deranged on some level and without standards.This only reinforces the false and harmful stereotypes that sex workers have to fight against every day. It’s completely out of touch.”

And while Euphoria is only a TV show, and Cassie’s story is mainly played for laughs, Ward says these kinds of portrayals can have damaging real-world consequences:

“I know it’s ridiculous, but a lot of people already believe these things about sex workers, and this only reinforces those harmful stereotypes,” she said. “Sex work is treated like a joke — some odd sideshow that’s fun to use for laughs and clickbait. Hollywood does it again.”

Hayden Panettiere Reveals What Tween Daughter Who Lives in Ukraine Calls Her

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Hayden Panettiere’s memoir is out, and it’s full of harrowing tales.

But there’s more to her life than narrow escapes from creepy men or being flashed by Oscar-winners when she was a teenager.

She’s a mom now. Her tween daughter lives overseas.

Hayden is raising eyebrows, sharing the name that her kid used for her that took her a moment to understand.

‘She’s now 11 years old’

This week on CBS Mornings, Hayden spoke to Gayle King about her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya.

The first time that Kaya called her “Britney” during one of their frequent video calls, “it took me a second” to catch the reference, the actress shared.

“I realized she was talking about ‘Bring It On’ because her friends are fans of ‘Bring It On,’” Hayden explained.

Bring It On is a legendary film filled with stellar talent, including Hayden.

She revealed that Kaya wants her to video chat with her friends, quipping “I’m cool now!” (Many celebrity children do not really care about their parents’ work until they reach an age where peers find it exciting.)

Kaya lives in Ukraine with Wladimir Klitschko, her father — and Hayden’s former fiance.

In 2018, the actress relinquished custody in the hopes that this would give her daughter her best chance at happiness while Hayden herself worked on her own issues, including substance abuse.

“I fly over there as much as I can,” Hayden shared.

“I’m on FaceTime with her all the time,” she continued.

Hayden added: “She’s now 11 years old, and she’s calling Mommy more and more.”

‘Trust me, no one should ever have to raise a child on FaceTime’

In her new book, Hayden writes: “My daughter, Kaya, has lived with her dad, Wladimir Klitschko, since 2018.”

She expresses: “Not being under the same roof with her every day has been the most gut-wrenching experience of my life.”

Hayden continues: “And it’s hard to describe the layers of emotion — including sadness, resentment, and anger — I’ve felt because of it.”

Mournfully, she shares: “I grieve that I’m not the mother I thought I’d be and definitely not the mother I want to be.”

Hayden affirms: “Trust me, no one should ever have to raise a child on FaceTime.”

“Although I miss Kaya so much my heart aches, I know how blessed I am to be her mom,” Hayden affirms.

“She is the greatest gift of my life, with all the best parts of her father and me,” she writes.

“And, today, I believe I have the opportunity to be a different kind of parent than most,” Hayden writes.

“She didn’t ask to be born into the limelight or my chaos,” the actress reasons, “and she didn’t get to choose her parents.

Hayden has kept much of her daughter’s life private because she believes that her child has a right to be normal. And she’s right. That’s an opportunity that she never got.

Year 2 Leap: Ranking The Top 5 Second-Year Quarterback Breakout Candidates

To see a great example of a Year 2 leap, look no further than last season. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who’d flashed as a rookie in 2024, finished second in NFL MVP voting and guided New England to Super Bowl LX. Who will be the Maye equivalent in 2026 — the quarterback to show exponential growth in his second season? Here’s my top-five ranking of second-year QBs by breakout potential, in descending order: 2025 stats (4 games, 3 starts): 66.3% completion rate for 622 yards and 3 TDs with 3 INTs Ewers is the backup in Miami behind free-agent acquisition Malik Willis, so technically he’s not even in position to “break out.” But being part of a rebuilding team that most league observers expect will struggle could offer many opportunities to play. The former seventh-round pick won’t have much help at receiver, though, as the top three WRs on the Dolphins’ depth chart — Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell — combined for just 712 receiving yards last season. 2025 stats (8 games, 7 starts): 56.6% completion rate for 1,400 yards and 7 TDs with 10 INTs There’s no guarantee that Sanders will be Cleveland’s QB1 — he appears to be in a competition with veteran Deshaun Watson — but if the former Colorado star is under center, he’ll have a much stronger supporting cast than last season. The Browns revamped their offensive line and added two top-40 draft picks at wide receiver in KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. With better talent and a new offensive-minded head coach in Todd Monken, Sanders’ numbers in 2026 should show improvement if he’s named the starter. 2025 stats (14 games, 12 starts): 63.7% completion rate for 2,272 yards and 15 TDs with 5 INTs Malik Nabers is expected to be ready for the start of the season, so Dart will continue to grow with a No. 1 wide receiver. Due to injuries, the duo had just four games together last season. Veteran Darnell Mooney, who’s been a 1,000-yard receiver, also adds quality depth. The Giants also have two starting-caliber tight ends in Theo Johnson and free–agent acquisition Isaiah Likely, giving Dart plenty of help in the pass game. New York’s run game should improve with the presence of fullback Patrick Ricard as well. And Dart, the 25th overall pick last year, is a dual threat who can be effective and efficient when using his legs. 2025 stats (17 games, 17 starts): 59.8% completion rate for 3,169 yards and 15 TDs with 7 INTs Tennessee receivers had issues with creating separation and dropping passes last season. With No. 4 overall pick Carnell Tate and free-agent acquisition Wan’Dale Robinson now in the receivers room, Ward has the kind of help on the outside that could spur a Year 2 breakout. New Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was pivotal in Josh Allen’s development from a project into a superstar quarterback in Buffalo, so he could guide a similar leap for Ward in Nashville. Ward and Daboll, then the Giants’ head coach, built a strong rapport during the pre-draft process last year. 2025 stats (11 games, 9 starts): 67.6% completion rate for 2,384 yards and 10 TDs with 6 INTs Shough, who finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting to Carolina Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan, is the only quarterback on this list to be playing in the same system as a year ago. Staying in head coach Kellen Moore’s scheme puts the QB at a huge advantage entering Year 2. And if No. 8 overall pick Jordyn Tyson plays to the expectations of his draft slot, Shough will have two No. 1-caliber receivers with Tyson and Chris Olave. Adding Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency gives the Saints a Pro Bowl-caliber running back, and the team used four of its top five draft picks this year on offensive players. Shough is in an ideal situation to thrive.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Barney Frank Cause of Death: Trailblazing Congressman Was 86

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have sad news to report from the world of politics today:

Barney Frank — the progressive politician who became one of the first openly gay members of Congress — has died at the age of 86.

News of Frank’s death comes courtesy of his sister, who issued a statement to NBC Boston:

“He was, above all else, a wonderful brother. I was lucky to be his sister,” Doris Breay told the outlet.

No cause of death was given. Frank was receiving hospice care at his Maine home in the final months of his life.

Frank’s death marks the end of a career that was as influential as it was polarizing.

A fixture on Capitol Hill for more than three decades, the Massachusetts Democrat built a reputation as a sharp debater, an unapologetic liberal, and a larger-than-life personality who rarely shied away from a fight.

For many Americans, Frank’s name became synonymous with financial reform in the aftermath of the 2008 economic collapse.

Alongside Senator Chris Dodd, he helped craft the sweeping Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, legislation designed to tighten regulations on Wall Street after the devastating housing crisis.

Born in Bayonne, New Jersey in 1940, Frank entered politics by getting elected to the Massachusetts legislature after graduating from Harvard Law School. He won a seat in Congress in 1980 and remained there until his retirement in 2013.

Over the years, Frank became a leading voice on housing, civil rights, and LGBTQ+ equality, long before such issues carried broad political support.

In 1987, he publicly came out as gay, becoming one of the first members of Congress to do so.

Years later, after same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts, he married longtime partner James Ready in 2012, making history once again as one of the first sitting members of Congress to marry a same-sex partner.

Frank’s outspokenness often made him a lightning rod for controversy. Conservatives frequently targeted him over housing policy and government spending, and even allies occasionally bristled at his famously combative style.

Admirers saw Frank as a brilliant legislator who pushed the country toward greater equality and stronger financial safeguards. Critics viewed him as an embodiment of government overreach.

But even opponents praised Frank’s bluntness and candor in an era of carefully rehearsed political messaging.

Following his retirement from Congress, Frank continued to weigh in on politics, financial regulation, and LGBTQ+ issues through interviews, speeches and frequent television appearances.

He is survived by his husband, James Ready, as well as a legacy that helped reshape both Washington and the national conversation around representation.

Our thoughts go out to Barney Frank’s loved ones during this difficult time.
