Morgan Wallen Urged to Seek Help As Behavior Spiral Worsens

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By all appearances, Morgan Wallen is a troubled man.

The recent incident in which he overturned a piano on stage was only the latest in a long line of worrisome moments.

He’s 33 years old. He cannot be throwing tantrums and acting out like a troubled teen at his big age.

Those close to him are reportedly worried, and urging him to seek rehab for anger management before it’s too late.

Is he okay? Evidently not

According to a report from RadarOnline, Wallen’s friends and acquaintances are worried sick about his obvious behavioral issues.

“Morgan swore he’d learned his lesson and gotten his rage issues under control,” an inside source dished.

“But,” the insider warned, “this proves he’s full of baloney.”

By this, they mean the piano-flipping incident. It’s wasteful, and it’s a red flag that someone is out of control.

The source added: “At a bare minimum, he needs anger management classes and a total reset.”

“Morgan says this has all been blown out of proportion,” the insider went on to report.

According to this, he has a truly unbelievable claim regarding the May 29 piano-flipping incident in Denver.

“He claims that the piano flipped over by accident,” the source added.

“But,” the insider quickly clarified, “nobody’s buying that.”

Certainly, the video appears to show the controversial singer intentionally shoving the piano, frustrated at a technical issue. But then, we cannot claim to know what was on his mind.

There are rehabs for behavioral problems

“Morgan’s extremely cranky and constantly flies off the handle for no good reason,” the source characterized.

“People are always walking on eggshells around him,” the insider then detailed.

The report mentioned Blake Shelton, who served as a mentor to Wallen after the latter appeared on The Voice.

“Blake’s very worried about the situation,” the source alleged, “even though he’s kept his distance from Morgan for some time because he wanted to try the tough love approach.”

The insider warned: “Now there’s a real worry that Morgan is one step away from total implosion.”

Many people first heard of Wallen, not from his music, but from the video of him saying the N-word that surfaced in 2021. For many of us, this still defines him.

In 2024, he pitched a chair off of a rooftop bar in Nashville, nearly hitting two police officers. Not his only incident with throwing something heavy, by the way.

Just last year, Wallen abruptly left Saturday Night Live, causing a stir.

Whatever is wrong with him, we hope that he gets the help that he needs.

But if his friends and loved ones cannot reach him on this, he might have to stoop even lower before he sees that he’s in a crisis.

Jelly Roll Says He Was Hospitalized Days Before Bunnie Xo Split News: Why?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As fans continue to process the surprising Jelly Roll-Bunnie Xo split, another troubling detail has emerged from the couple’s difficult month.

Just days before news of his divorce became public, Jelly Roll revealed that he had been hospitalized while on tour with Post Malone.

Fortunately, the medical scare does not appear to have been too serious. But it was enough to force the singer offstage during a concert, something that rarely happens.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo attend 60th Academy of Country Music Awards at Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star on May 08, 2025 in Frisco, Texas.

In a TikTok video shared on June 11, Jelly Roll — whose real name is Jason DeFord — explained that he spent time in a Charlotte-area hospital after battling a severe sinus infection.

“So, I went to the hospital last night in Charlotte, North Carolina,” the singer told fans.

According to Jelly Roll, the infection left him visibly swollen and struggling to perform.

“I was puffy-faced,” he explained, adding that doctors treated him with steroids before helping him return to the stage.

The singer praised the hospital staff for getting him healthy enough to continue the tour.

He also revealed that Post Malone reached out with an unexpected gesture after learning about his condition.

According to Jelly Roll, his tourmate sent a large bouquet of flowers along with a note wishing him a speedy recovery.

The singer was clearly touched by the act of kindness.

The hospitalization came just one week before news surfaced that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce from Bunnie.

Court documents show that the singer filed in Tennessee on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing reportedly lists May 9 as the couple’s date of separation.

The split stunned many fans, particularly because the couple was still gushing about their relationship as recently as a few months ago.

In recent months, Jelly Roll and Bunnie had discussed their marriage, their shared faith, and even their plans to expand their family through IVF and surrogacy.

Sources have since claimed that growing lifestyle differences and mounting tensions contributed to the breakup.

Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie XO has publicly addressed the divorce filing in detail.

For now, fans are left hoping that both can navigate this painful chapter — and that Jelly Roll’s recent health issues are firmly behind him.

Angelina Jolie Reclaims ‘Fighting Spirit’ After Brad Pitt Divorce

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Slowly but surely, she’s coming back out of her shell.

For the past decade, Angelina Jolie’s life has existed under the specter of her miserable split from her miserable ex.

Between the financial cost and the excruciating mental anguish, her career was partially on hiatus.

Now, she’s healing and acting and living again. And she credits her amazing children for encouraging her.

‘I kind of got taken down a little’

In an interview with Variety, Angelina shared that her “fighting spirit” is back in multiple ways.

She did acknowledge that much of her energy had been “lost for a bit” over the past decade.

“I kind of got taken down a little,” Angelina acknowledged.

That is, perhaps, a bit of an understatement.

Angelina and Brad married in 2014 after roughly a decade together and began divorcing in 2016. Their divorce lasted a full eight years — ending in December 2024.

Notably, Angelina left out some key words — such as “Brad Pitt” and “marriage” and “divorce” — from this statement.

We’re sure that there were both legal and personal reasons behind that omission.

Angelina focused, rather than upon the awful man who turned her life upside down, upon her amazing children.

She shared that her kids have helped her to heal and are “encouraging” her to get her groove back.

Angelina warmly stated that “know me more than anybody, and they still like me, which says a lot.”

It’s fantastic seeing comeback

In addition to her acting career, Angelina’s role in humanitarian work may be her best known quality.

However, her divorce (and litigation over the chateau where she and Brad tied the knot a dozen years ago) has been expensive.

Additionally, she explained that humanitarian work keeps her away from her kids for too long.

Acting, on the other hand, provides ample pay and allows her to see her children with a freer schedule.

Very soon, the twins will turn 18. Not only will this sever an important legal link with Brad, but it will make her an empty-nester — with more personal freedom of movement.

For years, reports seemed to try to frame the Jolie-Pitt divorce with Jolie as some sort of bitter ex who was maliciously keeping the children from Pitt.

Hey, that does happen. Not in this case, but sure, some divorces have cruel exes who play twisted games with custody, finances, and more.

The reality is that child after child has moved to drop the Pitt name, informally with classmates and peers or formally through court documents.

Knox and Vivienne were born in 2008. Their shared birthday is in mid-July, which will make them both 18.

Right now, it appears that Pitt has successfully alienated all of his children. And he has no one to thank but himself.

Scouting USA vs. Australia: 2022 USMNT Defender Previews Huge Group D Clash

For the second time in as many 2026 World Cup games, I expect the USA will have the majority of possession on Friday against Australia. The looks that the team will see, though, will be very different. The way Australia will defend the USA will be very different compared with Paraguay. It will be up to head coach Mauricio Pochettino to make sure his team is flexible in how it can attack the Aussies in Seattle. Here’s what to expect from USA vs. Australia. There will be a similar defensive approach from Australia on Friday, like what the USA saw against Paraguay in its opening game, but it will be slightly different. Paraguay played in more of a mid-block. What does that mean? While the team had plenty of numbers behind the ball, its focus was more on defending the middle of the field. Australia will play a lower block and sit even deeper than Paraguay. The Socceroos will defend in a back five compared with Paraguay’s back four. With that, the Aussies will sit further back and be very content to soak up pressure. I’d expect that there’s only going to be about 20 to 25 yards of space between the Australia defense and its striker. One way to look at that is the cut of grass. Usually, those are about six yards long. Player To Watch Souttar was absolutely immense in Australia’s win over Türkiye. His positioning was flawless, and he won everything in the air. He was very much leading the defensive line as it moved up and down the field and kept the team in very good shape. Given how I expect Australia to play and defend Friday, the player in the center of defense, the anchor, will be crucial. If the Australians are going to get a result and stay strong defensively, it will start with him. I think Australia is going to be harder for the USA to break down than Paraguay was. It’s much more difficult to break down a low block compared to a mid-block, which Paraguay used. Türkiye struggled to create quality chances against Australia, despite having more than 25 shots. There were few clear-cut scoring chances where you’d expect someone to score. For the USA, adapting to how Australia plays and figuring out what works will be crucial. Is it getting the ball wide and swinging crosses into the box? Is it trying to overload Australia in wide areas? Türkiye struggled to adapt and find solutions, so the USA will have to learn from that. I expect that USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino will have training sessions this week that will very much be focused on breaking down a low block. Player To Watch Dest was quietly effective but didn’t get too much attention against Paraguay. That makes sense with Folarin Balogun scoring twice and Christian Pulisic thriving on the left wing during his 45 minutes in the first half. Dest was positionally disciplined against Paraguay. If he maintains that, I think we’ll see a couple more moments of him getting one-on-one opportunities against a defender in wide positions. If Dest is able to attack his defender and beat the first man in front of him, he’ll be able to unbalance the Australian backline. He’ll also be responsible for either putting in good service from the right wing or fighting to find position at the back post if the attack is coming from the left.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Janeese Lewis George wins DC mayoral primary

Janeese Lewis George is on track to become the next mayor of Washington, D.C., after winning the Democratic primary on Thursday.

Lewis George faces no major challenger in November’s general election, putting her on a glide path to take the reins from Mayor Muriel Bowser next year and giving Washington a change in executive leadership for the first time since Bowser took office in January 2015. Her victory will usher in a new era for the district and put her on a collision course with President Donald Trump for the final years of his term.

Earlier Thursday, her opponent Kenyan McDuffie conceded the race and said he had called Lewis George “to congratulate her on her victory.”

In a primary stacked with anti-Trump Democrats, Lewis George presented herself as a candidate unafraid to oppose the president. She has pledged to rescind the order allowing the city’s police to coordinate alongside federal immigration agents and take a hard legal stance against any attempts by Trump to encroach on the District’s autonomy.

Lewis George told POLITICO in an interview last week that she would “actively tell our employees to resist” if Trump again attempted to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department.

Her position is likely to pit the democratic socialist directly against a president who has attempted to tighten his grip on the district, taking extraordinary measures to crack down on crime and cut through bureaucratic red tape to pursue a slate of ambitious beautification and construction projects around the city.

When Trump was asked in the Oval Office about the possibility of Lewis George winning the primary and becoming mayor, he told reporters: “I wouldn’t like it.” “Maybe we’ll take back Washington, run it on a federal basis,” Trump said. “We won’t put up with it. We’re not gonna lose our businesses.”

A third-generation Washingtonian, the 38-year-old Lewis George has represented the district’s 4th Ward on the D.C. Council since 2021. She ran a progressive campaign, promising change from Bowser’s tenure and casting herself as a champion of the working class who would stand up to Trump. Her platform — including universal child care, social housing and public safety reforms — galvanized a coalition of voters that skewed young, white, college-educated and newer to Washington, according to polling.

McDuffie, her main opponent in the race, pitched himself as a more pro-business pragmatist who gained Bowser’s tacit support.

The change in leadership for Washington comes at a time of tumult in the city.

D.C. is facing a $1.1 billion budget gap, which Bowser has argued should be covered by cuts to social services. The Trump administration’s government funding cuts and decimation of the federal workforce hit Washington especially hard — resulting in the greatest number of job losses of any metro region in the country in 2025. And Trump’s moves to wrest control of the city by temporarily taking over the MPD and indefinitely calling on the National Guard to patrol the District’s streets were deeply unpopular among Washingtonians.

Washington is also dependent on the federal government for multiple high-profile projects that have the potential to accelerate a sluggish economy, including upgrades to Union Station and the redevelopment of the RFK Stadium campus. Lewis George told POLITICO that “there are avenues I want to work with this administration,” including those projects — but she also promised to “stand up to anyone who harms our communities or threatens home rule.”

The race between Lewis George and McDuffie — whose base skewed toward voters who are Black, older and lifelong District residents, polls showed — had grown increasingly fraught in its final weeks. Lewis George collected endorsements from several top unions, while McDuffie found support among establishment Democrats, including former Mayors Sharon Pratt and Tony Williams, and former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison.

Lewis George leaned into a campaign focused on affordability, blaming rising prices on Trump and proposing that she would bring down sky-high housing costs by constructing 72,000 new units, compared to McDuffie’s proposed 12,000. McDuffie argued that imposing greater taxes on businesses to pay for more ambitious social programs would drive them away from the district, exacerbating its economic woes.

The candidates also differed on public safety, a marquee issue in light of Trump’s crime crackdown. Lewis George, who was first elected to the Council following the social justice protests of 2020, argued for public safety reform with a holistic approach to crime prevention that includes bolstering community programs and nonpolice response.
