By now, you’ve probably heard about the controversy surrounding Donald Trump and White House aide Natalie Harp.
The oddly close relationship between Trump and his “human printer” has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent months.
Harp rarely seems to leave the president’s side, and her letters to Trump indicate that the bond between them goes beyond the limits of the standard employer-employee relationship.
That doesn’t mean, of course, that their relationship is sexual or otherwise inappropriate. It’s just weird.
Still, given the rumors surrounding Trump and Hart, many were not surprised when a photo allegedly showing them kissing on a golf course went viral this week.
There was just one problem: It wasn’t real.
The White House has now addressed the image, with an administration official telling The Daily Beast that it was “clearly a fake photo.”
The image showed an older man who appeared to be Trump embracing a blonde woman who was widely assumed to be Harp. A second, higher-quality version of the picture also circulated online.
And while the blurry version was difficult to authenticate, the clearer image offered a rather significant clue that artificial intelligence had been involved.
Namely, the woman appeared to have six fingers.
That’s generally not something you expect to see in a candid golf-course photo.
Fact-checkers also identified a watermark indicating that the sharper version had been generated using OpenAI tools.
Snopes concluded that the image was AI-generated, while The Daily Beast found no legitimate wire-service photograph showing Trump and Harp together on a golf course in the outfits depicted.
The origins of the image are murky.
One version was reportedly used as a thumbnail for a YouTube video by political commentator Keith Edwards. Edwards told Snopes that his thumbnail team found the image online and that they did not create or alter the underlying photograph. He also acknowledged that they had not independently verified whether the woman was Harp.
Of course, the fact that the photo is fake doesn’t mean Trump and Harp don’t spend an unusual amount of time together.
Harp has become a familiar presence alongside the president, including on golf outings and foreign trips. She has worked for Trump since 2022 after previously hosting for One America News, and she’s known for carrying a portable printer while traveling with him, earning her the nickname “human printer.”
Her close relationship with Trump has attracted additional attention in recent months, particularly after Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff publicly referenced how frequently she travels with the president.
The Daily Beast also recently published letters Harp wrote to Trump in which she described him as her “Guardian and Protector” and expressed her desire to never let him down.
But whatever one thinks of their unusually close working relationship, there is no credible evidence that the viral golf-course kissing photo depicts a real event.
For once, those extra fingers were actually doing some investigative journalism.

After months of anticipation, the latest installment of Ryan Murphy’s Monster anthology series dropped on Netflix on Thursday.
Murphy is no stranger to controversy, of course.
But this time, the discourse has less to do with the content of the series than with its star.
As you might have guessed from her name, Ella Beatty has a very famous father. And a very famous mother, for that matter.
She’s the daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening — and she’s become the latest young star to receive criticism for being a nepo baby.
The 26-year-old actress stars as the title character in Netflix’s fourth season of Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, which premiered September 17.
The series dramatizes the infamous 1892 case in which Borden was accused of murdering her father and stepmother before ultimately being acquitted.
But before Ella could take on one of history’s most notorious alleged killers, she had another distinction to contend with: being born into Hollywood royalty.
Ella is the youngest child of Oscar-nominated actress Annette Bening and legendary actor Warren Beatty.
After graduating from Juilliard in 2022, she made her professional acting debut in Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. She made her Broadway debut in 2024’s Appropriate and appeared in the 2025 film If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
Then Murphy came calling again.
Ella landed the title role in Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, marking her first leading television role and the first season of the anthology to center on a female figure.
Previous seasons focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein.
But while she may have climbed the ladder much more quickly than most, the role was hardly something Ella took lightly.
She told Netflix that she immediately dove into true-crime podcasts and other material about the real-life case after auditioning (via People).
At the same time, she recognized that the series is a fictionalized dramatization rather than a documentary.
Unlike some nepo babies, Ella doesn’t deny that she’s benefited from her famous last name. But she says she’s benefited even more from her parents’ advice.
According to Ella, Warren and Bening encouraged her to listen, stay curious and “get interested rather than be interesting.”
Not exactly bad advice from two people who have spent decades navigating Hollywood.
And if Ella is lucky, people will find her performance as Lizzie Borden so interesting that they’ll be willing to overlook her not-so-humble origins and focus on her work.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Taylor Frankie Paul is at the center of yet another legal controversy.
According to a new report from TMZ, Taylor has failed multiple court-ordered drug tests in recent months.
The nature of the drugs remains unclear, but the outlet reports that “at least one of them is not commonly available as a prescription med.”
As a result of her failed tests, Taylor will have her parenting time with her children reduced.
Taylor is currently involved in custody disputes with ex-husband Tate Paul and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
And the fact that she failed multiple tests in the past 60 days probably won’t help her secure the outcome she wants.
The news comes on the heels of news that Mikayla Matthews has decided to exit The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Matthews announced her decision in a lengthy Instagram post in which she referenced “problematic” behavior on set:
“I made my decision over a week ago, after hearing some news, that I will not be continuing the show at this moment,” Matthews wrote.
“I’ve said from the beginning of this that I’m not comfortable being a part of something that continues to platform behavior I don’t agree with, especially given my own experience growing up in a home with multiple forms of abuse,” she continued, adding:
“There’s no amount of money worth going against my morals or changing the stance I’ve had since I first saw and heard the things that made me feel this strongly.
“And for me personally, continuing to directly profit from this behavior feels wrong and unethical. It feels like a disservice to the children, everyone’s healing and the millions of people watching.”
It’s unclear if Matthews’ decision had anything to do with recent allegations against Paul.
But the decision to allow Taylor to rejoin the cast of Mormon Wives has resulted in significant controversy.
As you’ll probably recall, Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette was shelved earlier this year after footage of her hurling chairs at Mortensen became public.
According to police reports, one of the chairs struck Paul’s daughter, who was on hand for the incident.
For obvious reasons, Taylor’s parenting has come under heavy scrutiny in the months since.
And news that she’s failed multiple drug tests probably won’t do any wonders for her reputation.

Could Colin Kaepernick and Taylor Swift had ended up with their own happily ever after?
A little over two months after the singer married Travis Kelce in the “wedding of the century,” another famous football star is thinking back on what might have been.
Kaepernick reveals that, back when he was in the NFL, he got some strong encouragement to shoot his shot with Swift.
He didn’t go for it, and Swift ended up with a different hunky football star. And that suits Kaepernick just fine.
Who advised Colin Kaepernick to ask out Taylor Swift?
On Tuesday, September 15, the former football player’s memoir, Perilous Fight, hit bookstore shelves.
He spoke of how his mother, Tessa Kaepernick, suggested that he ask out Taylor Swift.
“When I was in the NFL, she told me that I should ask out Taylor Swift,” Colin Kaepernick wrote.
He detailed that this was “(long before Travis Kelce made his move).”
(Kaepernick became a “free agent” weeks before spring began in 2017.)
According to Kaepernick, his mother suggested this “because we would be perfect together.”
He apparently did not take his mother’s counsel at this time.
Kaepernick was quick to emphasize that this was no “slight to Taylor.”
However, he said that Swift “was not my type.”
This suggestion could have taken place any time between 2011 and 2016, based upon his NFL years.
He doesn’t sound like he regrets not taking the chance
Since this time, Colin Kaepernick and Taylor Swift have both tied the knot. Just, you know, not with each other.
He and Nessa Diab welcomed a baby in 2022 and have been married for years.
Though he did not intend to shade Swift, Kaepernick did make some remarks about his mother. The fact that she suggest that he ask out the singer showed him that his mother was not “capable of seeing who I really am.”
He recalled that his mother had exhibited a pattern of encouraging him to date white women. This mentality can stem from anything from status symbols to internalized racism and beyond, and is frankly very complex to discuss and process.
Notably, Kaepernick was born to a white teenage mother and was adopted by the Kaepernicks, who are also white. Like we said … it’s super complex.

Kaepernick has long history of using his platform (and his impossible-to-ignore good looks) to promote anti-racism in our deeply anti-Black culture.
He became the center of a weird, baseless controversy for “disrespectfully” kneeling about a decade ago.
It caused friction when he was within the NFL. Ultimately, he parted ways with the organization.
Kaepernick has a complex history. His advocacy for racial justice is good. His AI project to teach children how to produce hideous slop instead of learning art themselves is, to be blunt, abhorrent.
Though Swift has made questionable choices, it’s clear that Kaepernick’s issue described in the memoir isn’t with her. Rather, he cites this as an example of how he felt that his own mother did not understand him.
