Popular comedian and social media personality Druski has never been one to shy away from controversy.

In fact, his willingness to push the envelope is a huge part of his massive popularity (he currently has over 1.7 million followers on X).

But some critics believe Druski went too far in his recent video based on Erika Kirk.

Erika, of course, is the widow of Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed during a speaking engagement at a Utah college last year.

In the months since Charlie’s death, Erika has been on a nonstop media tour, hosting rallies, granting interviews, even being invited to the White House.

Some have accused her of exploiting her husband’s death or seeming inappropriately gleeful during her period of grief.

Druski’s sketch doesn’t call out Erika by name — but there’s no mistaking the fact that she’s being roasted.

“How Conservative Women in America act,” he captioned the video above.

The two-minute sketch skewers Erika’s rallies, as well as comments she’s made during some of her viral interviews.

“I serve a righteous God, and that is why we say our prayers. We are all his children, and when I say children, I mean the holy blessed Trinity, which is why I hold the Bible,” Druski (as Erika) says in the video.

“We have to protect all men in America, especially the white men in America. Those are the ones we care about. Yes, because they are the ones who matter most.”

We don’t need to tell you that these are very divisive times in America.

So it’s not surprising that many on the Right have taken issue with

“Of all conservative women in America why her? This woman is [still] grieving,” one X user wrote.

“Is this a joke? You think this is funny? Making fun of Erika Kirk? You’re a disgusting piece of you know what,” another added.

“This is too far man… You were completely disrespectful during NFL Honors & now you’re making fun of Erika Kirk, whose husband was brutally assassinated. This ain’t it,” conservative commentator Jon Root wrote on X.

Root is referring to an incident at the 2026 NFL Honors Awards, where Druski mispronounced the name of Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s name while presenting him with the Offensive Player of the Year Award.

Neither Erika nor Druski has commented on the controversy publicly. But something tells us Erika is probably less than thrilled with Druski’s portrayal.

What did her ex-husband say?

The Taylor Frankie Paul arrest video is such an ugly mess. The whole situation is.

Following the barstool incident, Tate Paul spoke to authorities to issue a warning.

He claimed that Taylor’s mom was “coaching” his 3-year-old on what to say.

‘She’s coaching my daughter’

People has obtained audio from a February 24, 2023 call between Tate Paul and police.

“The grandmother, is, you know, obviously there’s a conflict of interest with her because it’s her daughter that did this,” he says during the recording.

He’s referring to Liann May, TFP’s mother.

She is, of course, the grandmother to Taylor’s daughter, Indy.

“I’ve noticed she’s already tried gatekeeping — not gatekeeping — but, like, she’s coaching my daughter and saying specific things,” Tate claimed in the recording.

At the time, Tate claimed that Indy had suffered a small injury to her head on the night of February 17, 2023.

That night, of course, being the night on which Taylor allegedly threw a stool at Dakota Mortensen, her boyfriend at the time.

By his own account, Dakota deflected the piece of furniture, where it struck Taylor’s young child.

Tate claimed that it was a “goose egg” injury — a folksy expression for a hematoma (bruise) on the head where there may be mild swelling and tenderness.

In the same breath, he admitted that it was impossible to document because it was small and covered by his child’s hair.

Apparently Indy ‘seemed fine’

Liann had apparently told authorities that Indy was not injured during Taylor and Dakota’s domestic violence incident.

Specifically, she told officers that Indy was asleep.

(Indy was 3 years old at the time, and it was after 3 AM when they stopped by the house.)

However, Liann told investigators that her grandchild “seemed fine” despite what had occurred.

If you ever had a “goose egg” bruise as a kid (from, say, hypothetically, tripping over nothing and slamming into the corner of a table in front of your entire fourth grade class), you know that they feel large but are actually very small.

Was Liann telling investigators the truth, or covering for her daughter? It really sounds like both.

3-year-olds might seem perfectly fine after they’ve calmed down after a tragic incident.

Coaching a child can feel like a helpful thing to do — for everyone involved, including the grandchild.

The people doing it seldom feel like they’re encouraging someone to lie, but simply to choose their words carefully.

But it would still qualify as covering for Taylor.

It seems like everything in her life is unraveling

Obviously, we here at THG cannot verify anything that Tate Paul said in 2023.

We also have to wonder what he would say now — whether he will give a statement about his ex in 2026 regarding this recording.

For now, we only have a lot of footage and reports from 2023.

And, of course, Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette was pulled by ABC in a panic — even though the 2023 incident was never a secret and was in fact old news to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers.

(It’s a shame, too, because one of her suitors led a pretty dramatic life himself.)

We have yet to see the end of the fallout from this. Things are looking grim for Taylor. And, frankly, for everyone in her life.

Popular “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular has reportedly been arrested for assault in Florida.

News of the arrest comes courtesy of independent journalist Taylor Lorenz.

Details are scarce at the moment, but Lorenz initially alleged that the 20-year-old, whose real name is Braden Peters, was arrested due to a fight involving his girlfriend.

“Clavicular was just arrested in Fort Lauderdale on a misdemeanor assault charge (no physical contact or injury is required for this charge),” Lorenz wrote, adding:

“The arrest is likely related to a physical fight between Clav’s gf and influencer Jenny Popach who broke into the hype house.

“Jenny Popach has been making videos on TikTok for months saying she’s going to have Clavicular sent to jail. There’s also lots of strange AI generated drama news slop like this on TikTok discussing the situation.

Lorenz later retracted part of that story, reporting that it’s now unclear exactly why Peters was taken into custody.

“Clav shot a dead alligator on stream today but the Everglades are not in the same county where he was arrested, and this is not likely the cause of his arrest. Clav was arrested on a warrant from Osceola County,” she tweeted, adding:

Here’s the arrest warrant that was executed against Clavicular earlier today. I’ve reached out to his team for more details, I’m sure many will be awaiting his next mugshot. pic.twitter.com/hwsen1tN1h

“Here’s the arrest warrant that was executed against Clavicular earlier today. I’ve reached out to his team for more details, I’m sure many will be awaiting his next mugshot.”

There are many conflicting reports about the cause and circumstances of Peters’ arrest.

TMZ is reporting that Clav was arrested due to a warrant issued by Osceola County.

The outlet also claims that he was “hit with a misdemeanor battery charge.”

“Adin Ross confirms on his stream that Clavicular was just ARRESTED and Clavicular’s 24/7 livestream just ENDED,” wrote one large account on X (formerly Twitter).

A post shared by Clavicular (@clavicular0)

“People speculate he was likely arrested by the FWC after unloading a magazine on a purportedly dead alligator earlier.”

The account also shared a video of Clavicular allegedly shooting said dead alligator — but that does not seem to be the cause of his arrest.

A controversial figure in the online “manosphere,” Peters instructs his young followers on how to take extreme measures to improve their physical appearance and attract women.

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

They say that it’s important to have hobbies.

Despite some massive dismissals, Justin Baldoni is still embroiled in his legal war against Blake Lively.

Another of his lawsuits, however, is moving forward.

This one isn’t against Lively. But it’s not unrelated — because the woman he’s suing allegedly spoke to Lively.

This lawsuit is against Stephanie Jones, his former publicist

In December of 2024, Stephanie Jones — founder of Jonesworks PR — reportedly sued Wayfarer, his production company, alongside Baldoni’s crisis PR team.

Jones alleged multiple claims, including breach of contract.

Baldoni and Jennifer Abel, his publicist, filed a countersuit, accusing Jones of defamation and violating client confidentiality by sharing their private communications.

Jones filed to dismiss Baldoni’s claims.

In Touch Weekly reports that Judge Lewis J. Liman has allowed two aspects of Baldoni’s claim to move forward.

Wayfarer alleges that “Jones and Jonesworks made one or more statements” to Blake Lively, to Ryan Reynolds, and to publicist Leslie Sloane.

These alleged statements were “to the effect that Wayfarer had retaliated against Lively and others for reporting alleged sexual misconduct.”

The retaliation was “including orchestrating a ‘smear campaign’ by propagating false and misleading narratives about Lively for the purpose of damaging her image and reputation.”

Many in the general public might consider these to be statements of fact.

However, Baldoni and Wayfarer consider these statements to be defamatory — meaning that Jones made these statements and knew them to be false.

Part of the suit hinges upon the claims against Baldoni being false

Baldoni and Wayfarer’s argument doesn’t stop there.

“Wayfarer alleges that Jones knew the statement she made to Sloane was false,” the lawsuit alleges.

The documents continue: “‘As not only was she well aware that Lively had not actually been sexually harassed on set, she also knew that there had been not been a ‘smear campaign.’” That’s … interesting.

“This is clear because Jones was copied on many of Wayfarer’s email and text threads during the relevant period,” the lawsuit alleges. “And knew full well that Wayfarer was scarcely engaging with the press at all in August 2024.”

The documents went so far as to allege: “Much less carrying out offensive tactics in retaliation for something that never happened.’”

As we noted, Jones filed to dismiss the lawsuit.

However, the court declined to dismiss the defamation allegations.

The reasoning is that it is possible that “Jones was in a position to know the veracity of her statements at that time.”

It sounds like Wayfarer is going to essentially force Jones to prove that she didn’t speak to Lively on the topic.

Or to prove that there was a smear campaign against Lively, and that Baldoni orchestrated it.

We linked this (admittedly dated) rundown of the initial lawsuit, if that’s helpful

Knowing something and proving it are different things.

Of course, on the flipside, Baldoni may have to prove that Jones made these statements and that they were false.

That’s a tall order.

Even in 2026, after everything that’s come out, there are still people in comments sections who believe that Baldoni is the target of some sort of elaborate conspiracy or frame-job or even victim-blaming.

These folks are framing the lack of dismissal as a “win” for Baldoni. And it is. But despite the subject matter, this case doesn’t seem to be tied directly to his legal war with Lively.

Remember, Baldoni and Lively butt heads in court again starting in May. That will be here sooner than you think.

Last year, Ray J leveled wild and defamatory claims at a couple of the Kardashians.

Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian sued, and the rapper countersued.

He says that the two of them have been badmouthing him for years over the release of Kim’s sex tape. And he has also accused them of perjury related to the tape’s release.

It turns out that this was a settled matter — because all of the parties involved signed a $6 million settlement in 2023.

This was a settled matter … until it wasn’t

Back in April of 2023, Kim and Ray J worked out and signed a secret settlement.

Kris Jenner was involved. And so, too, was Sonja Norwood — Ray J’s mom.

TMZ obtained a copy of “Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release.”

“The parties have agreed to enter this agreement addressing all past, current, or future claims, disputes, causes of action, defenses, and alleged losses,” the agreement reads.

The agreement continues: “Including without limitation, all claims and defenses arising out of or concerning the subject matter of the sex tape.”

Within the document, Ray J agrees to not hold Hulu or Disney responsible for anything that comes up on The Kardashians.

Interestingly, another provision says that neither side shall “disparage or impugn the character, reputation, integrity, honesty, business, or business practices” of the other.

That’s odd, since just under two and a half years after this, Ray J made wild and unsubstantiated “RICO” allegations against Kim and Kris.

Announcing to the world that people are under federal investigation or are otherwise master criminals is grounds for a defamation suit under many circumstances.

But this document suggests that Ray J had already agreed in writing to not disparage Kim … only to do just that with a defamatory claim.

Who’s right? That’s kinda complicated

Ray J has mentioned this agreement. He brought it up in his countersuit to their defamation lawsuit.

He said that he received $6 million as part of the deal.

There would, he said, be financial penalties if he broke the agreement — but also if Kim or Kris did.

Here is where the legal question comes into play: he says that he didn’t break it, but that they did.

Ray J says that The Kardashians included discussion of the sex tape only one month after the deal was finalized.

We hate to just shrug and say that this matter is up to the lawyers and the courts. It’s always more fun to be able to predict the outcome of a legal battle.

But, in this case, there are a lot of details and matters of law in play.

For example, is Ray J saying that the Hulu series aired an episode on the topic of the sex tape just a month after signing the agreement?

Because hopefully most people know that reality TV films months before it airs. The Kardashians has a faster turnaround than most, but not by much. Many shows film 8 months to a year in advance.

If he’s saying that they filmed an episode right after, he might have a much more solid argument.

Where is public sympathy?

It’s often difficult to gauge where public sympathies lie.

Often, people make light of Kim’s suffering, even when very bad things — like the Paris robbery or Kanye West’s Hitler fanfest era — are happening to her.

(She is not overall a very sympathetic person, whether she’s saying cruel things or parroting harmful misinformation or promoting slop tech.)

But there are situations where many people feel sorry for her. This — the sex tape and how this one story won’t go away — seems to be one of them.

It is possible that this court case could shift opinions on Kim. But we kind of doubt it.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was canceled after video emerged of her assaulting then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.

One detail that stunned many viewers was the fact that one of the chairs Taylor threw struck her 5-year-old daughter, Indy, who was seated nearby.

Now, we have new information about the incident, the aftermath, and the reports that Indy suffered an injury.

In bodycam footage obtained by TMZ, an officer with the Herriman City Police Department calls Taylor’s mom, Liann, to check on Indy.

It seems that the officer had just reviewed cell phone footage shot by Dakota and realized that Indy might have sustained an injury.

One police report described the 5-year-old as having a “goose egg on her head.”

TMZ reports that police fears of a possible head injury or concussion that may not have been immediately obvious.

But Taylor’s mother insisted that the child was fine and was peacefully sleeping in her bed.

From there, TMZ reports, “the officer stressed that injuries in kids don’t always show up right away.”

Liann seemed unconcerned, but as many social media users have pointed out, people with possible concussions should not be allowed to sleep.

Thankfully, this all went down in 2023, and Indy did not suffer any lasting injuries.

Her mother, on the other hand, is still experiencing the consequences of that fateful night.

In addition to being canceled by ABC, Taylor might soon face criminal charges as a result of multiple allegations from Dakota.

In statements on the subject, Taylor has insisted that the video did not tell the whole story, and she was a victim of Mortensen’s abuse.

“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security,” Paul said through a spokesperson, adding (via People):

“After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”

Taylor has yet to respond to allegations that she was unconcerned about her daughter’s injury.

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

Following Joseph Duggar’s arrest, his wife was taken into custody.

Now, Kendra Caldwell and her husband are facing charges unrelated to his confessed crime of sexually abusing a child.

Though Michelle bailed out Kendra, that doesn’t mean that things are back to normal until trial for the 27-year-old mother of four.

In light of the charges, she is barred from any contact with her alleged victims — that is, her children.

Kendra is not allowed to communicate with her children

The Ashley reports that Kendra is on the receiving end of a no-contact order.

This legal instruction bars her from having any contact with her four children — Garrett, Addison, Brooklyn, and Justus.

Now, this order isn’t permanent. For now, it only extends until her court date in April.

It was one of the conditions of Kendra’s bond when she was released on Friday, March 20.

She agreed that she would “have no contact by telephone (including text), in person, by computer (including email), or through other people in any manner” with the victims.

Kendra’s bond was paid at $1,470.

Her next court appearance will be at a hearing on April 29.

Joseph will also be required to attend that hearing.

However, this particular court appearance will only be for the charges of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment.

Joseph is still awaiting extradition to Florida to face his charges of sexually abusing a then-9-year-old girl during a family vacation in 2020.

Both parents are facing charges, but Joseph’s facing more

As we previously reported, Kendra is potentially facing 8 years in prison.

Officially, we only know a limited amount about what the home visit that authorities conducted following Joseph’s arrest uncovered.

Duggar sources have leaked that “a couple of doors” only lock from the outside.

While a home where it appears that children are locked up as one would be in prison sounds bad, there are suspicions that these reports gloss over some of the findings that the Arkansas Department of Human Services uncovered.

That said, we do not actually know that yet. And while there are doubts that Kendra will face real consequences on these charges, it’s a rare but positive thing to hear about child welfare being taken seriously.

Given the kinds of childhoods that members of the Duggar family had, growing up in an abusive cult, it is grimly no surprise to hear that some have not grown up to be good parents.

In order to “break the cycle,” you first need to realize that what happened to you was wrong.

Meanwhile, Joseph’s other charges are something so vile that any of his family — except perhaps for Josh — knows that it was wrong. Including Joseph himself.

On a 2020 vacation, he allegedly got a 9-year-old girl to sit beside him and on his lap multiple times, touching her thighs and privates under the cover of a blanket.

We do not know the identity of this now-14-year-old child, save that she is not one of his nieces. We also do not want to know. She is listed in legal documents as Jane Doe.

Who are Joseph and Kendra’s four children?

In June 2018, Kendra gave birth to Garrett David, their first child.

In November of 2019, they welcomed Addison Renee, their second.

Kendra gave birth to Brooklyn Praise in February of 2021.

Some time in the spring of 2022, Joseph and Kendra welcomed Justus, their fourth child.

We do not know the current whereabouts of these four Duggar children.
