Wellington Dickens III: Man Who Admitted to Killing 4 of His Children Reveals He Buried …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In October, a North Carolina man named Wellington Delano Dickens III called 911 and told the operator that he had killed four of his children.

Now, Dickens has confessed to burying a fifth child — a one-month-old infant named Riley — in the woods near his home.

Dickens tells authorities that Riley’s health declined shortly after moved to a home in Zebulon, east of Raleigh.

Authorities say they’ve been unable to locate child’s remains

When the child died, Dickens says, he wrapped him in plastic and disposed of the body.

The death was not reported to authorities until the moment that Dickens, 38, made his shocking confession.

Authorities searched the area that Dickens described, but were unable to locate Riley’s body.

According to NBC News, they have requested additional resources to aid in the search.

Johnston County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jeff Caldwell told reporters that the search for Riley’s remains is ongoing and no additional charges have been filed against Dickens.

Latest confession comes weeks after Dickens admitted to killing four children

Dickens has been in police custody since October 27 when he called 911 to confess that he had killed four children.

Police arrived at his home to find four of Dickens’ kids aged 6, 9, and 10, along with his 18-year-old stepchild, inside the trunk of a car parked in his garage.

“Dickens continued to speak with the dispatcher saying that he did not torture his children, he over-disciplined his children and was wanting to turn himself in,” reads an affidavit in the case.

Dickens’ wife passed away in April, leaving him to care for his four children and adult stepchild.

Insiders say he had been acting erratically since his father passed the previous year.

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

Tekashi 6ix9ine Slammed For Joke About Charlie Kirk Murder

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Tekashi 6ix9ine is using Charlie Kirk (and his assassination) as shorthand.

The rapper has faced death threats before.

It seems that he has learned the difference between a car full of fans and a group of shooters rolling up to ruin his day — or possibly end his life.

So, to reassure two friends, the rapper invoked Kirk’s name. It set them at east. And it’s all on video.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has an unusual way of calming his friends

This has been a weird few days for Tekashi 6ix9ine, and not only because he’s using “Charlie Kirk” as a verb.

On Tuesday, November 18, the widely reviled rapper was streaming with Antonio Brown and Adin Ross.

This was outside of Tekashi’s Florida home.

An SUV full of fans (yes, they have them) pulled up. It was dark. The people, at first not identified, called out for Tekashi.

Everyone visibly tensed up. As you can see in the video below, it fell to the homeowner to diffuse the tension.

“What’s up, bro?” the rapper asked, keeping a casual vibe.

Meanwhile, Brown and Ross both appeared less than chill.

Tekashi picked up on the tension, and turned to his companions to reassure them.

“Don’t worry,” he told them. “We’re not gonna get Charlie Kirk’d,”

Both seemed to feel relief. And, sure enough, the SUV drove off without incident.

So … what did this have to do with Charlie Kirk?

On September 10, far-right podcaster Charlie Kirk died from a gunshot wound to the neck.

He had only just begun his tour of college campuses for the conservative organization, Turning Point USA.

What made Kirk’s death stand out for many was that there were multiple videos, some of which were quite graphic.

Interestingly, many learned for the first time that people had seen two radically different sides to Kirk.

To many, he represented America’s extreme right and was an existential threat to freedom. However, many others knew of him only as a self-help advocate and motivational speaker for white Christians. Until his death, these groups did not seem to know about this “other side” to the man.

To be blunt, Tekashi 6ix9ine is using “Charlie Kirk” as a verb. It is shorthand for “assassinated” in this context.

Or, even more simply, it is shorthand for “shot.”

Either way, it is not something that they would want to happen to them.

Tekashi’s life has been in danger multiple times. Gunmen robbed his home just days ago. And he’s not the only one on the stream who’s seen his share of violence.

They all know that they could anger the wrong people and end up paying the price. But that did not happen during Tuesday’s stream.

To be fair, someone COULD roll up on them and start shooting

As TMZ has noted, this was the first sighting of Antonio Brown since his release from county jail on Thursday of last week.

He had been in custody in Dubai, then faced extradition back to Miami.

Brown is facing a second degree charge of attempted murder with a deadly weapon.

Allegedly, he tried to shoot another man at an Adin Ross boxing event. (Small world, huh?)

But, as Tekashi 6ix9ine predicted, he did not get shot. “Charlie Kirk” is, however, a pretty tasteless euphemism to use on a livestream (no matter how you felt about Kirk), and will hopefully not catch on.

Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Tiny, Deformed Penis’ Leads to Surprising Michael …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Now that the House and Senate have both voted to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, it seems that the controversial collection of documents will soon be made available to the public.

(Assuming, of course, that President Trump signs off on the release. He’s hinted that he’ll do so, but the man has been known to have a change of heart now and then.)

The fallout over the files has already begun, with high-profile figures like former treasury secretary Larry Summers issuing public apologies.

And information that everyone would probably prefer to live without — including details about Epstein’s “deformed” genitals — has now begun to surface.

A protest group called "Hot Mess" hold up signs of Jeffrey Epstein in front of the Federal courthouse on July 8, 2019 in New York City.

Jeffrey Epstein accuser describes dead predator’s genitals ahead of file release

In a new interview with journalist Tina Brown, Epstein accuser Rina Oh confirms earlier reports about the dead predator’s “extremely deformed” penis.

“He had an extremely deformed penis,” Oh, 46, told Brown (via the New York Post).

“Some people have described it as the shape of an egg. I think it was more of the shape of a lemon, and it was really small when it was fully erect. It was probably like two inches.”

Oh went on to describe Epstein’s relationship with Ghislane Maxwell as “very awful.”

“Their relationship was very awful, very strange,” she said.

In this handout provided by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Jeffrey Epstein poses for a sex offender mugshot after being charged with procuring a minor for prostitution on July 25, 2013 in Florida.

“I actually didn’t ever suspect that the two of them were having any type of a romantic relationship. I thought she was an associate of his, especially when I saw them fighting,” Oh continued.

“Ghislaine was snickering at him in that British accent, and they were throwing insults at each other.”

The Jeffrey Epstein-Michael Jackson connection

So what does the revelation about Epstein’s oblong dong have to do with Michael Jackson?

Well, it seems we wouldn’t have learned about the financier’s misshapen member were it not for the King of Pop’s sexual misconduct trial.

According to a new report from TMZ, Spencer Kuvin, the lawyer who grilled Epstein at his 2009 deposition got the idea to pursue that line of question from transcripts of Jackson’s trial.

“Is it true, sir, that you have what is described as an egg-shaped penis?” Kuvin asked at one point, over objections from Epstein’s lawyer.

“One witness described your penis as oval-shaped, it was thick towards the bottom but was thin and small towards the head portion and called it egg-shaped,” Kuvin pressed on before Epstein ended the interview.

For the record, Jackson’s name has been mentioned as an associate of Epstein’s, but he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

In the days ahead, it’s likely that connections between Epstein and many rich, powerful, and famous men will be revealed — some will be innocent, some will be downright appalling.

And the whole situation might make us all wonder what the hell is happening in this country.

Sarah Ferguson’s Children’s Book Canceled Amid Ongoing Jeffrey Epstein Scandal

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We’re closer than ever to the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and already, wealthy and powerful figures around the world are feeling the fallout.

One of those figures is Prince Andrew, who was recently stripped of his land and titles due to sex crimes he allegedly committed alongside Epstein.

Now, Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is the latest high-profile figure to suffer consequences as a result of her connection to the dead predator.

Sarah Ferguson waves as she attends the Easter Matins Service at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on April 20, 2025 in Windsor, England.

According to a new report from People magazine, New Frontier Publishing has canceled the release of Fergie’s latest children’s book, Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way.

All book signings and bookshop talks by Ferguson, who is popularly known as Fergie, have also been canceled.

Photos of the book cover revealed that Sarah was credited as Sarah, Duchess of York, the title she gained when she married Andrew.

Though Sarah has not been formally stripped of her titles as her ex was, it’s unclear at this time if she intends to continue using them.

The two have remained close in the years since their marriage came to an end.

In fact, they were living together when Charles handed down Andrew’s punishment, meaning that Fergie will also be forced to find a new place to live.

This is not the first time that Ferguson’s Epstein connections have cost her a job.

In September, she was forced to step down from her roles at several children’s charities, after friendly emails between her and Epstein resurfaced.

In 2011, Ferguson was harshly criticized for accepting cash loans (some called them gifts) from Epstein, despite the fact that he had already served prison time for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.

In the wake of that revelation, she vowed to cut ties with the disgraced financier.

“I personally, on behalf of myself, deeply regret that Jeffrey Epstein became involved in any way with me,” Ferguson told the media at the time.

“I abhor pedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf. I am just so contrite I cannot say,” she continued, adding:

“Whenever I can, I will repay the money and have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again. What he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed.

“I will never have anything to do with him again. I deeply regret it. How many more times do you want me to underline that?” Ferguson concluded.

As it turns out, she emailed Epstein to apologize shortly after making that statement,.

“You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family. As you know, I did not, absolutely not, say the ‘P word’ [pedophile] about you but understand it was reported that I did,” Ferguson wrote in an email obtained by the Daily Mail.

“However, I am apologizing to you today for not replying to your email or reaching out to you when the tabloids were so horrendous.”

We’re sure worse revelations about bigger public figures will come out in the days ahead — but Sarah’s past involvement with Epstein will likely continue to cost her.

Ariana Grande May Be Done with Music. FOREVER.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As you may very well know at this point, Ariana Grande is starring in a certain movie franchise.

Critics are simply gushing over her role in Wicked: For Good, which comes out on November 21.

With so many accolades pouring in, and with the movie industry calling her name, many out there have been wondering: Will Ariana Grande ever return to music?

The short answer is yes. Grande is about to embark her Eternal Sunshine Tour.

But the superstar appeared this past Tuesday on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, reflecting on what the next decade of her life could look like.

And whether or not it will include acting, making music or both.

“I think the last 10 to 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up,” the 32-year old said.

Added the artist in reference to the aforementioned tour:

“I don’t want to say any definitive things. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time.”

Because this might be her last time performing on a stage in front of fans, Grande does at least plan to give it all she has to give.

“It’s going to be beautiful and I’m so grateful that — I think that’s why I’m doing it because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah.’ For now,” she told Poehler.

When Poehler, 54, asked about the trajectory of her career, Grande said she feels “a lot more connected to myself and my art” since she started expanding outside of pop music.

“I spent so much time only doing pop music — but I grew up as a girl who loved musical theater and comedy. So I think the thing that will be best for my soul and also my art and for what I’m giving to myself to, is if I’m chasing things that feel very right in the moment,” she said.

It sure sounds like Grande (who was recently attacked by a crazed fan) plans to focus on the big screen for awhile.

“Even if it’s mundane it needs to be something different. I am doing a movie right now because it’s a role that I read the script and I love it and it’s funny and I love the cast and I’m so excited,” Grande, who’s starring in Wicked: For Good and the upcoming Focker In-Law, added.

“Then I’m doing a small stint of shows next year because that is something that authentically sounded good to me.”

Concluded the beloved celebrity:

“I think following those authentic impulses feels like a really good idea.”
