Former child actor Raquel Lee Bolleau is suing Disney.

The lawsuit accuses the company of negligence.

Raquel says that she was plied with alcohol and repeatedly raped at 14.

She is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages.

Please be warned that these allegations are haunting

TMZ obtained a copy of Raquel’s lawsuit, in which she lays out her claims against Disney.

She says that Disney staffers instructed her to “bond” with an unnamed employee when she went to film The Poof Point, a Disney Channel original, in 2001.

The lawsuit says that the man gave her alcohol in his Utah hotel room.

He allegedly insisted that she later return alone. By this point, she was heavily intoxicated.

This, Raquel says, is when the man raped her for the first time.

In a new court filing, the former child actress Raquel Lee alleges she was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted by a Disney worker during production of The Poof Point, a 2001 Disney Channel original movie. The suit, which doesn’t name the perpetrator, accuses the studio of negligence.

According to Raquel, the sexual abuse against her continued during production of The Poof Point.

She says that members of the production crew saw her showing up sick and vomiting.

Naturally, Raquel also smelled like alcohol.

Despite her being only 14 years old at the time, no one stepped in.

Even on the flight back to California, Raquel says, the man sexually assaulted her again.

She’s suing for negligence and seeking unspecified damages

According to Raquel, the effects of the sexual abuse and being plied with alcohol at such a young age were immediately apparent.

This all impacted both her behavior and her performance in the Disney Channel original film.

Additionally, Raquel’s lawsuit alleges that higher-ups at Disney blamed her for being “out of control” instead of looking into why that might be.

Raquel says that the trauma cut short her acting career — and inflicted decades of emotional and psychological harm.

She’s suing Disney for negligence, seeking unspecified damages while saying that the company failed to properly screen its hires and supervise its employees — and she’s paying the price.

The Poof Point was one of a series of child-friendly family films featuring everyday life with one single science fiction element that drove the plot.

(There were, memorably, a bunch of “smart house” style films at the time.)

The premise of this film was mental age-regression caused by time machine that a dog accidentally sabotaged.

Not necessarily in the absolute cinema category, but part of what helped make Disney a family entertainment powerhouse beyond the big branded films. It was a precursor to the Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place era.

We are heartbroken to read this description of Raquel’s experiences. Though there should probably not be such a thing as “child stars,” any child actors should (and must) be protected.

San Francisco 49ers owner and CEO Jed York found himself on the wrong side of the law over the weekend.

York, 46, was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, after initially being accused of engaging in prostitution, according to court documents obtained by the New York Post.

The NFL executive was booked into the Columbiana County Jail following the arrest.

However, the prostitution charge did not ultimately stick.

On Monday, prosecutors amended the charge to disorderly conduct, and York pleaded no contest.

He also pleaded no contest to a separate misdemeanor count of possessing criminal tools.

A judge sentenced York to one day in jail for each offense, with the sentences served concurrently.

He was also ordered to pay $150 for the disorderly conduct conviction and another $1,000 for possessing criminal tools, according to court records. The fines have since been paid.

York reportedly posted $5,000 bond following his arrest.

The circumstances surrounding the “criminal tools” charge have not been publicly detailed.

Court records indicate that $160 seized during the arrest was forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, while York’s cellphone was returned to him.

The arrest took place in an area with personal significance for York. He was born in Youngstown, Ohio, and has family ties to the region. East Palestine is roughly 30 minutes from Youngstown.

For many NFL fans, the situation will bring to mind the 2019 incident in which New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was arrested in connection with prostitution charges.

York has served as the 49ers’ CEO since 2008 and currently oversees the organization alongside his duties as team owner. He has been with the franchise for more than two decades.

The 49ers have not publicly addressed the arrest.

The bizarre legal development comes just weeks before the start of the NFL regular season, with San Francisco scheduled to open its campaign against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10.

For York, however, the offseason has suddenly become about something far more serious than football.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Is Donald Trump prepping to blow the lid off of extraterrestrial secrets?

It’s possible that he already has.

Jack Osbourne, son of the late Ozzy Osbourne and attender of this summer’s repulsive White House UFC fight, says that Trump spilled the beans in private.

Are aliens lurking beneath our planet’s oceans?

What did Donald Trump allegedly disclose?

On Sunday, August 23, Jack Osbourne claimed that he has a friend who speaks weekly to Trump.

According to Osbourne, this friend has told him that Trump spilled the beans on aliens.

Allegedly, there are extraterrestrials on Earth — hiding in Earth’s oceans.

The International Business Times reports that Osbourne claimed that Trump told his friend that the government does not know what the alleged extraterrestrials actually are.

Instead, he allegedly shared: “We have no idea what they are, but they’re in the ocean.”

Trump did direct US agencies to release government files related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.

(Whether this was truly part of a transparency pledge or an unsuccessful attempt to divert attention from the Epstein Files is anyone’s guess.)

Though there is baffling UAP-related footage that seems to suggest some sort of extraterrestrial technology appearing on radar, nothing has been proven.

NASA has additionally confirmed finding no credible evidence of extraterrestrial life. Any signs of possible life within our own solar system but beyond our planet appears to be of the microbial variety.

Osbourne seems to believe that Trump made this disclosure and that it is true. But is it?

Are extraterrestrials lurking beneath the waves?

Like everyone else reporting, we here at THG cannot confirm any part of this story.

We cannot confirm that Donald Trump speaks to this unknown individual every Saturday, or that he made this claim about extraterrestrials hiding beneath the waves.

Similarly, we cannot confirm that this man then spilled these presumably state secrets to Jack Osbourne.

(It is worth noting that Osbourne was promoting Spark.TV when he said this, which is his very own paranormal channel. So … there are questions about his motives.)

With 80% of the ocean uncharted and largely unknown, it seems like a likely place for aliens to hide if they wished to visit us, had the means to do so, and for some reason wished to conceal their presence.

So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

Jack Osbourne has made untrue claims in the past. For example, mere weeks ago, he falsely accused journalist Kat Tenbarge of using an AI slop engine to write an article. Clearly a false and defamatory allegation, even if he believed it.

Presuming, however, that Osbourne is accurately conveying what his alleged friend told him about a conversation, that still does not make it true.

First, this is a game of telephone, with information risking being garbled along the way. Second, Donald Trump is a consummate liar.

Third, Trump’s cognitive abilities have been rapidly decaying for all to witness for years. The guy refers to Hannibal Lecter as his friend. He takes naps on live television during important events.

It is both exciting and scary to imagine extraterrestrials visiting our planet, especially if for benevolent purposes. But someone more trustworthy and with better judgment than either Trump or Osbourne would make for a more reliable source on what governments actually know.

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has launched a second career in recent weeks.

Perhaps in an attempt to make a name for himself as a conservative pundit, Kanter Freedom has been fighting against the inclusion of trans athletes in professional sports leagues.

Of course, his frequent public stunts have many wondering if he’s more interested in chasing clout than he is in making his point.

Kanter Freedom was ejected from the Chicago Sky’s game against the Indiana Fever after a heated confrontation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud during the third quarter.

With the obvious goal of attracting attention, he was sitting courtside at Wintrust Arena wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the message, “WOMAN noun. adult human female.”

The situation escalated with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter, shortly after Cloud scored for Chicago.

According to ESPN, Cloud turned toward Kanter Freedom and began yelling and pointing at him as she approached his courtside seat.

Kanter Freedom stood up, spread his arms, and took a step toward the court before security personnel and several Sky players intervened.

He was subsequently escorted from the arena. And he didn’t exactly go quietly.

As security removed him, Kanter Freedom pumped his fist and appeared to mock Cloud by imitating her talking with his hand. He eventually held out his shirt as he made his way toward the lobby.

The incident comes amid an increasingly heated debate surrounding transgender athletes and women’s sports.

Kanter Freedom, who played 11 seasons in the NBA, recently declared himself eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft while saying he identifies as a woman. Former NBA player Royce White has also made a similar declaration.

The controversy began after Fever guard Sophie Cunningham made comments about transgender athletes that sparked a national debate.

Kanter Freedom has subsequently used his social media platforms to criticize the WNBA’s policies regarding transgender players. His recent stunts happen to coincide with the release of his new memoir.

The league’s current collective bargaining agreement states that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA,” but does not further define the term or publicly outline eligibility rules for transgender or intersex athletes.

After his removal Sunday, Kanter Freedom claimed on X that he had been kicked out of the game for supporting women.

Cloud’s version of events was not publicly detailed, but Sky coach Tyler Marsh made it clear that he supported his player.

“I told her she wasn’t,” Marsh said when asked whether Cloud was concerned about becoming a distraction. “I told her that we all embrace her as someone that protects our team and protects people that need to be protected and so Tash is always going to stand on that, and we stand for Tash.”

On the court, Indiana rolled to a 113-90 victory behind 37 points from Caitlin Clark and 30 from Kelsey Mitchell. Clark said she didn’t witness the confrontation because she and her teammates were focused on their huddle at the time.

“I didn’t see it, we were talking about the next play in our huddle,” Clark said. “So I think that’s probably a question for Chicago.”

For Kanter Freedom, however, the game became less about basketball and more about the ongoing culture-war battle that he has inserted himself into.

And judging by Sunday’s spectacle, that battle isn’t going away anytime soon.

How did Benny Blanco lose weight so quickly and so unconventionally?

Just shy of one year after he married Selena Gomez, he’s showing followers how “easy” it is to lose weight.

He shared a video montage in which he took followers through his week as he ate only one food.

That one food … was pizza?

How did Benny Blanco lose 4.7 pounds in one week?

In a recent TikTok video, the 38-year-old music producer — who is most famous for being married to the incomparable Selena Gomez — made an astonishing claim.

He alleged that people can lose weight “eating literally anything.”

Blanco even aimed to prove it, using himself as an example.

He stepped onto a scale, showing that he weights only 152.2 pounds. (There is some debate about Blanco’s exact height, but he is indisputably a short king.)

And his dietary strategy was … unconventional, to say the least.

@itsbennyblanco

can i lose weight if i only eat pizza?

♬ original sound – benny blanco

According to Blanco, he consumed only a large thin crust pizza from Domino’s each and every day.

(When most people do this diet, it is likely the result of poverty. Blanco did it to prove a point.)

The TikTok shows a montage of clips of him eating nothing but this meal.

Blanco’s devotion was so great that he took pizza with him on a date to the Sunset Tower Hotel.

(Please do not do this. Blanco can get away with it because he’s Selena Gomez’s husband.)

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially married.

‘Nothing matters, do whatever you want’

By the third day of this experiment, Blanco was apparently tired of eating pizza.

“I hate my life,” he joked to the camera. We suspect that Blanco actually loves his extraordinarily fortunate life.

“I don’t even remember myself as a human being,” he joked on the fifth day. “Like, what was life before pizza?”

By the end, he has adjusted his attitude, as he feels “f–king good.” He also weighs 147.5 pounds.

“I just lost 4.7 pounds eating pizza,” Blanco declared to his followers. “Nothing matters, do whatever you want.”

Is Benny Blanco’s somewhat nihilistic approach to health a good lesson? Well … kind of. Maybe.

First of all, weight loss is not synonymous with health.

People trying extreme gimmick diets can endanger their lives by excluding key nutrition, even if they lose weight or reap other benefits. One week of pizza won’t do that, but still.

Second, and not to put too fine of a point on it, but it is normal and healthy for a person’s weight to fluctuate by pounds every single day.

A person can go up or down 4.7 pounds by being well hydrated and eating a big meal, or by being briefly dehydrated and having used the restroom.
