Ex-jogador do Chiefs morre aos 37 anos; Mahomes promete ajuda à família

21 October 2026 at 22:25

Ex-defensive end do Kansas City Chiefs, da NFL, Allen Bailey morreu aos 37 anos.

“Nossos corações estão com a família dele”, disse o técnico do Chiefs, Andy Reid, ao iniciar sua entrevista coletiva na quarta-feira (21). “As orações estão com eles. Jovem demais, obviamente. Um dos meus jogadores favoritos. Ótimo garoto. Só lamento muito que isso tenha acontecido com ele.”

Bailey foi encontrado morto na terça-feira (20), em sua casa na Flórida, e a família disse ao “TMZ” acreditar que ele morreu de causas naturais. Nenhuma causa oficial da morte havia sido divulgada até a tarde de quarta-feira.

“Allen Bailey foi um excelente companheiro de equipe, um homem generoso e uma alma gentil”, publicou o Chiefs nas redes sociais na quarta-feira. “Estamos profundamente tristes ao saber de sua morte, e nossos pensamentos e orações estão com sua família e amigos.”

Bailey foi escolhido na terceira rodada do Draft de 2011

O Kansas City escolheu Bailey na terceira rodada do Draft da NFL de 2011, vindo da Universidade de Miami.

Em 133 jogos de temporada regular (70 como titular) pelo Chiefs (2011 a 2018) e pelo Atlanta Falcons (2019 e 2020), ele somou 248 tackles, 22 sacks, 40 tackles para perda, 40 hits no quarterback, quatro fumbles forçados e sete fumbles recuperados, um deles devolvido para touchdown.

Também disputou seis jogos de playoffs (cinco como titular), com dez tackles, dois sacks e dois fumbles forçados.

“Descanse em paz, Allen Bailey”, publicou o Falcons nas redes sociais, acompanhado do emoji de mãos em oração. “Enviamos nossas mais profundas condolências à família e aos amigos.”

Mahomes diz que companheiros vão ajudar a família

O quarterback do Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, disse na quarta-feira que Bailey foi a primeira pessoa que viu ao entrar no vestiário, depois de ser escolhido no Draft de 2017.

Ao ver o robusto e atlético Bailey, com 1,91 m e 131 kg, Mahomes percebeu que já não estava mais na faculdade e classificou o momento como “surreal”.

“Obviamente, é terrível ouvir a notícia”, disse Mahomes, que foi companheiro de Bailey por duas temporadas. “Um ótimo companheiro de equipe, daqueles jogadores que mantêm o grupo unido. Ele faz jogadas. Não é necessariamente um superastro, mas é aquele cara que faz tudo funcionar.”

“Estamos rezando pela família dele. Como companheiros de equipe, conversamos e sabemos que vamos fazer o que pudermos para apoiar essas pessoas.”

Ex-jogador brilhou em Miami e foi duas vezes All-ACC

Natural de Sapelo Island, na Geórgia, Bailey disputou 50 jogos pelo Miami Hurricanes entre 2007 e 2010, com 107 tackles, 19 sacks, 31 tackles para perda e dois fumbles forçados. Foi duas vezes selecionado para o All-Atlantic Coast Conference.

“É terrível, especialmente com todo o bem que ele fez”, disse Reid sobre a morte de Bailey. “Ele tem uma família, e isso é muito triste. Sei que o pai dele também morreu jovem. Faz a gente passar mal quando isso acontece com alguém tão jovem.”

'Musk' director Alex Gibney isn't afraid to make powerful enemies

From Scientology to disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, documentarian Alex Gibney has never met a subject too big or too controversial to tackle.

Then came Elon Musk.

When Gibney was approached with the idea to do a documentary on the Tesla and SpaceX CEO in 2022, his plan was straightforward: Tell the story of how Musk used his businesses to become one of the most powerful figures in the world.

But when he was ready to deliver a two-hour feature film on Musk two years later, HBO issued him a directive a filmmaker rarely hears: Make it longer.

It was 2024, and the breadth of Musk's influence had expanded into the political sphere. With Gibney's subject helping President Donald Trump campaign for a second term, then later spearheading the second Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, Gibney's story had expanded. His documentary would need to, too.

The result is "Musk," an incisive, nearly four-hour documentary that chronicles the personal, professional, and political life of the richest man in the world. From his controversial acquisition of Twitter, which he renamed X; to his relationships with the mothers of his children; to the accidents tied to Tesla's self-driving feature, Gibney's film is a comprehensive look at the scope of Musk's power and influence in the 21st century.

Gibney even found a clever workaround for featuring Musk in the doc after he declined to be interviewed. Playing on Musk's belief that we are all living in a simulation, the director used AI to craft an avatar of Musk, who speaks in quotes amalgamated from his past interviews.

Of course, a man as powerful and outspoken as Musk has already voiced his displeasure with someone else controlling his narrative. After the movie's world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, Musk threatened to sue Gibney's production company for defamation. Musk has also bashed the movie on X, stating: "Gibney just assembled a hit list of people who either have an axe to grind or don't even know me (but still have an axe to grind). He has ZERO integrity. Horrible human."

Hearing from angry subjects is nothing new for Gibney, who was the subject of the Church of Scientiology's full-page newspaper ads decrying his work over 10 years ago tied to the premiere of his documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief."

"With Elon Musk — and he's not unique in this, but he specializes in it — he begins tweeting horrible things about people and the next thing you know, this army of followers and bots starts to gin up the rage matrix," Gibney told Business Insider.

Not that he's rattled yet. With decades of documentaries speaking truth to power under his belt, Gibney has developed thick skin and some top-secret harassment survival strategies.

"Let's just say I've taken some precautions," he said.

For the latest interview in Business Insider's Director's Chair series, Gibney talks about creating an AI Musk, being followed by Scientologists, and his nerve-racking experience in a self-driving Tesla.

On creating an AI Musk avatar and making the movie longer

Business Insider: You thought you had finished this movie in 2024. Was it daunting to go back down the Elon Musk rabbit hole when HBO asked you to?

Alex Gibney: Yeah, it was daunting. We had to renegotiate the budget and all sorts of other stuff. But I got why HBO wanted that. And when Musk hitched his wagon to Trump, it was clear: This is big.

I started out making a film about 21st century power, which in this case involved economic power but also tech power. Now, add to that political power, and suddenly it's a really big story.

Was AI Musk in the original movie? 

The idea of it was. We had put in a placeholder for it, but we were also anticipating that maybe we might get an interview with him at some point.

It was kind of an epiphany to do it this way. It came out of past experience: What's the workaround for somebody who won't or can't talk to you? In "Client 9" and "Zero Days," we came up with workarounds that fit those stories. The key here was to find a workaround that would fit this story. That's how we ultimately came up with the idea of the avatar.

Did it unlock anything in you regarding using AI tools in your work in the future?

I think it will depend on the project. AI has become a kind of suitcase term for everything from Siri to AGI. In this instance, this was a human effort using AI tools, which revolved mostly around sync; in other words, making the lips and the body sort of move with the voice. But there was also designing the room, what he was going to wear, the gamer chair.

The further we pushed it and the more interested we got in AI with the company we used, Makemake A.I., this idea of memes and looking at his own image, that's where we came up with certain scenes where you see the back of his head and he's watching himself. Those were things that we improvised on.

On the qualities Musk and Elizabeth Holmes share and Tesla's image

I couldn't help but think about your Elizabeth Holmes doc, "The Inventor," when watching "Musk." The "fake it 'til you make it" ethos that's baked into Silicon Valley, has that been fascinating to observe? Both Holmes and Musk are founders who are amazing salespeople hoping that what they bet on takes off. 

I think there is a similarity with Elizabeth Holmes. What was rattling around in my head through this was confidence. Musk, like Holmes, was able, through force of confidence, to convince people of things that they knew not to be true. That became a superpower.

The big difference between Tesla and SpaceX and Elizabeth Holmes is that those are real products. The Tesla S is a great car. These reusable rockets are extraordinary, and we show the magnificence of that in the film.

Not to take anything away from him or those companies, but there's also the bullshit factor. The idea of going to Mars and the promises. And you can see how they repeat themselves and get bigger and bigger. Oh, yeah, full self-driving! I'm sorry, Tesla's self-driving option is still a level two system, and over 60 people have died.

(Editor's note: Tesla has maintained that its Autopilot feature requires constant driver attention, and that its vehicles issue prompts warning the driver to stay alert and hold the steering wheel.)

The things you highlight about Musk's involvement in DOGE and suggesting he influenced the election are shocking, but the things you highlight about Tesla got me the most. The battery swapping, the self-driving car feature. Were you shocked by how much smoke and mirrors there are at Tesla?

Yes. It was something that I didn't know when I started. And as you mentioned, fake it 'til you make it. They just faked it. Mostly, it was in order to raise the stock. The economic fundamentals of the company never warranted a high stock price, but if you can convince people that the CEO is a genius and also that it's not really a car company — it's a tech company, so some super inventions are coming down the road — you can persuade people to gin up the stock. 

(Editor's note: Musk and Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.)

On almost hitting a child while using the self-driving feature on a Cybertruck

You rode a self-driving car yourself; you did it with a Cybertruck for the movie. 

I did. There was a cut where we included a four-minute sequence of me in the Cybertruck. I went to the San Francisco Tesla showroom and wanted to drive a Cybertruck, and they showed me how to turn on the self-driving feature. I pressed "Go," and off I went to the other side of the city. It was like a 20-minute ride there and back.

What's interesting is for most of the trip it was kind of astoundingly good. But then there were moments when it was astoundingly bad, sometimes in ways that were played to safety. Like, I was trying to merge onto a very busy thoroughfare, and cars kept coming, and if it were me as the driver, I would nudge out there, but full self-driving couldn't figure that out, so I sat there for 10 minutes. Other instances, it couldn't decide what to do at critical moments and almost hit a pedestrian. 

It came uncomfortably close to a child. The child kind of came from the side out of a parked car. It's not something you would anticipate, but it was really scary.

Why didn't you put that in the movie?

Ultimately, the legal case that we spotlight in the movie was a far more powerful deep dive. There were mortal consequences. A woman died. And the deep dive into the evidence itself was so much more powerful. If I had only done a film about Tesla, I probably would have included it.

On the movie's fate on HBO and the consequences of checking power

The greatest irony in all of this is this movie could have been out a year or so ago, but HBO asked you to make it longer. Now Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery have merged, so HBO is now under David Ellison, who once considered bringing on Musk as an equity investor in Paramount. Are you concerned HBO will not air "Musk"?

I was concerned until recently. I'm always on the alert. But I've been told that they will air it and that even David Ellison very well knows about it and promises he will air it. 

You have worked with HBO forever. 

Yeah, I love them. 

So if they are telling you it is going to happen, you believe them. 

But what you learn is, shit happens. [Laughs.] Executives change. Circumstances change, and the next thing you know, it's not what you thought. But, for now, we are making very specific plans about when it's going to come out, which is likely in January. 

Because of where the industry is going — fewer networks and distribution options, and the options available are mostly run by conglomerates often looking for political cooperation — for the kind of stories you tell, are you looking for alternative distribution avenues in the future with your company, Jigsaw?

We have a skunkworks inside Jigsaw to try to solve some of these distribution problems.

In this new environment, films that people desperately want to see are being held back from audiences. The platforms tell you people don't want to see them, but that's just not true. HBO is the exception, but what a lot of the platforms are doing is investing in predictable, least objectionable programming. A lot of the platforms want it to be like the cereal aisles at the grocery market: they are all the same cereal, but different variations between Rice Krispies and Froot Loops. They can predictably get people invested in that mixture of salt and sugar that keeps them coming back for more without providing anything that is nutritious. 

So the avenue is theatrical, like it was a decade-plus ago. "Musk" is out in theaters through Bleecker Street, and that's powerful because it's a lot harder to put the genie back in the bottle when it's already out there. 

Checking power sometimes comes with blowback. You have experienced everything from Julian Assange leaking the script to "We Steal Secrets" before that movie came out to Scientologists following you around after you made "Going Clear." Do these things wear on you, or do they fuel you?

I mean, given the fact that I haven't stopped, it seems to be fueling me. That said, it doesn't mean I don't need to take precautions. But I'm still motivated by the idea of people with enormous power abusing it at our expense; that seems to be a spur for me. 

When it comes to Elon Musk, he's the richest and arguably the most powerful person in the world, so it can have these devastating consequences. Ashley St. Clair has security because the X platform has a way of directing vitriol at people. And Elon can say it's just free speech, but he knows very well that by doing what he does and by the platform tweaking its algorithm for replies and rage addiction, he knows that his statements are going to be amplified in a really horrible way that may result in harm to an individual.

(Editor's note: Musk, who has called himself a "free speech absolutist," described X's policy in 2022 as "freedom of speech, not freedom of reach," saying the company would limit the reach of negative posts but not delete them. Musk did not respond to a request for comment about his X posts and the company's algorithm.)

Is your experience with Musk's followers different from what you experienced with Scientology?

Scientology is a little different, but people did come up to me in dark parking lots in a way that was discomforting. But what some ex-Scientologists told me was, "What they are doing is they aren't going to put a rattlesnake in their mailbox; they are trying to get inside your head. So once you understand that, just don't let them inside your head." That turned out to be very wise advice.

Scientology was tough, and when my film on Assange came out, the vitriol on Twitter was extreme, and I wasn't prepared for that. What I've come to learn is you have to know your enemy. 

This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

"Musk" is in theaters now.

Homeland Security Lied About Child Porn To Search Activist's Phone

21 October 2026 at 16:47

One of the unfortunate quirks of the American system is that you can't lie to the government, but the government can lie to you. Samuel Tunick found himself on the receiving end of this setup last year at Atlanta International Airport. When agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asked for his phone password, he allegedly gave them a self-destruct code that wiped his data. Tunick now faces five years in prison for destroying evidence.

It turns out that the feds were lying to Tunick the entire time. A new court filing, first reported by 404 Media, shows that the DHS had sent out an order to seize Tunick's phone over his involvement in environmentalist protests in Atlanta. When he landed at the airport, however, agents told Tunick that they were looking for "kiddie porn" and he would be allowed to leave with his phone if he cooperated. They also repeatedly denied him access to his lawyer when he asked.

"There can be no real debate that if law enforcement had acted similarly elsewhere in Atlanta, their actions would be unconstitutional. But the government says it was entitled to act this way because Mr. Tunick was returning from an international vacation" in the Dominican Republic, his lawyers wrote in the filing, which includes internal DHS communications and excerpts from his interrogation video.

U.S. law recognizes a "border exception" to Fourth Amendment privacy rights, allowing federal agents to search incoming travelers for contraband. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) claims that this exemption also allows them to hold travelers for questioning and search their electronic data. Tunick's case reveals just how widely the agency stretches this loophole.

A few hours before Tunick landed, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent Travis Mcghie emailed the CBP station in Atlanta with his photo and information, stating that he is under investigation for "suspected terrorist activities." (Tunick is involved in Save the Atlanta Forest, also known as Stop Cop City, a protest movement against a local police training center.) The email asked CBP to "conduct a 100% baggage exam, retain all electronics and collect passcodes," stating that the HSI will be at the airport to conduct an interrogation.

Pulled into the secondary screening room, Tunick "almost immediately" told CBP officers that "I don't really want to speak without a lawyer any more," according to the filing, which cites the interrogation tape. He would ask for a lawyer multiple times.

The agents asked Tunick if he had "kiddie porn" on his phone and stated that "because you're refusing to talk, we have the authority to go through your phone to see what we're looking for." One of them, Latoya Castro, told Tunick that "either you can give us your password so that we can go through it no problem, or you can refuse to do that, unfortunately, we will have to seize your phone."

Both of those statements were a lie, of course. The HSI's email had asked CBP to take Tunick's phone, whether or not he cooperated.

The lie about child porn may not only have been meant to intimidate Tunick. While there are contradictory lower court rulings about the border search exemption, some courts have ruled that the CBP can only search electronics for "digital contraband," or files that are themselves illegal. A search for child sex abuse material would be on stronger legal ground than a search for mere evidence of other crimes.

Tunick was using GrapheneOS, a secure phone system that allows users to set both a real password and a "duress password" that wipes out all data when entered. The interrogation tape shows his phone appearing to reset after he gave the officers a passcode. HSI agent Nathan Burnham and FBI agent Andrea Coble then entered the room.

"You are not under arrest. Once these gentlemen are done with you, pursuant to your entry into the country, you're free to leave," Burnham said, referring to the CBP officers.

Tunick's lawyers argue that the judge should throw out the phone password Tunick provided and everything that resulted from entering it as an "involuntary" response made under "unlawful interrogation," because the CBP agents did not read Tunick his Fifth Amendment rights and ignored his multiple requests to consult with his lawyer before answering their questions.

The CBP claims that secondary screening at the border doesn't count as a criminal investigation, so detainees don't have the same rights as criminal suspects. "Since the international arrivals inspection is an administrative function, CBP policy and federal regs do not permit the presence of lawyers during secondary examinations," a spokesman told Reason earlier this year.

But Tunick's lawyers insist that his experience was "far outside" a normal border crossing: He was accused of a serious crime to his face, faced an investigation for a different serious crime he didn't know about, and clearly could not leave the situation until he gave information to government agents.

"I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people against protecting their data and their privacy, and the government hopes to set a precedent that no one has the right to privacy," Tunick told 404 Media. 

Defend the Atlanta Forest, the movement that Tunick is involved with, has been a major nuisance for authorities in Georgia. Protesters attacked and burned construction equipment throughout 2022, and police shot a protester in 2023 under unclear circumstances, claiming that they were fired at during a raid.

The Trump administration has brought down the federal government against the movement. In June 2026, the Department of Justice brought federal charges against two alleged arsonists, citing National Security Presidential Memo 7, which directs the feds to go after left-wing domestic terrorism.

But beyond the email line about "suspected terrorist activities," there is no indication of what specific crimes the feds suspected Tunick of, or why they suspected him. And the whole setup of the interrogation was designed to hide those answers. In fact, instead of charging Tunick under typical obstruction or evidence-destruction laws, federal prosecutors chose a rarely-used statute that doesn't require them to disclose what the underlying investigation was about.

"Many times the government wants to highlight what it was trying to investigate because that ups the stakes on what the defendant was doing," former prosecutor Daniel Richman told The New York Times. "This is a case where I think they're trying to avoid exactly that by focusing only on the destruction, and not what the investigation was about."

Netanyahu torna a minacciare l’Iran: “L’unica soluzione è rovesciare il regime”. Financial Times: “Trump ha impedito un nuovo attacco israeliano”

21 October 2026 at 17:58

“Rovesciare il regime iraniano”. Benjamin Netanyahu, a soli sei giorni dalle elezioni in Israele, torna a invocare la guerra contro la Repubblica islamica, dopo l’ultima campagna iniziata il 28 febbraio scorso che non ha portato a stravolgimenti nelle politiche di Teheran. E non è l’unico: come lui, anche il suo ministro della Difesa, Israel Katz, è tornato a minacciare una nuova stagione di conflitto mentre Washington e gli ayatollah stanno ancora portando avanti i colloqui di pace.

Se si tratti di dichiarazioni dettate più da necessità elettorali che da convinzioni strategiche non è possibile stabilirlo. Fatto sta che il primo ministro israeliano è tornato a usare lo stesso vocabolario delle settimane degli attacchi incrociati fra la Repubblica islamica e gli obiettivi israeliani e americani in tutto il Golfo. “Il regime iraniano non ha ancora imparato la lezione, c’è solo un modo per rimuovere la minaccia una volta per tutte: rovesciare il regime in Iran ed è la mia direttiva per Idf, Mossad e agenzie di sicurezza”, ha affermato durante una cerimonia militare nel sud di Israele. E ha poi minacciato direttamente la nuova Guida Suprema, Mojtaba Khamenei, dicendo che “ha deciso di seguire le orme di suo padre. L’Iran sta ancora una volta tentando di sviluppare le sue armi di morte”.

Se si tratti di un ordine di passare all’azione è tutto da stabilire. Ma anche secondo Katz, ad esempio, un nuovo scontro tra Tel Aviv e Teheran sarebbe vicino. Non per volontà dello Stato ebraico, però, ma della Repubblica islamica che vorrebbe influenzare il voto: “Il regime iraniano si trova nel suo momento di maggiore debolezza – ha detto – Questa debolezza potrebbe indurlo ad adottare misure estreme. Negli ultimi giorni, abbiamo individuato tentativi da parte dei nostri nemici, principalmente l’Iran e i suoi alleati, di sferrare attacchi che influenzeranno l’esito delle elezioni in Israele. Se l’Iran attacca Israele, l’Iran brucerà!”.

Sul fronte dei colloqui tra Iran e Stati Uniti, le valutazioni delle due parti appaiono in contrasto. Il segretario di Stato Usa, Marco Rubio, ha parlato di un accordo estremamente difficile da raggiungere, così “la pressione economica continuerà” finché Teheran non smetterà di attaccare le navi mercantili nello Stretto di Hormuz. Da parte sua, il ministro degli Esteri iraniano, Abbas Araghchi, ha detto che lo Stretto di Hormuz rimarrà chiuso finché Washington non accetterà le condizioni di Teheran, aggiungendo che i colloqui indiretti proseguono attraverso Pakistan e Qatar. Il capo della diplomazia di Teheran, però, mostra maggiore ottimismo affermando che “gli americani ci hanno fatto sapere di essere d’accordo con il nostro nuovo piano di sette giorni per porre fine alla guerra, ma desiderano aggiungere alcune clausole”. Ha però specificato che “l’Iran non cederà in alcun modo, né alle sanzioni economiche né alle minacce militari. L’unica soluzione adeguata è la diplomazia. Finora, Teheran ha partecipato a tre cicli di colloqui con gli Stati Uniti, tutti sfociati in una guerra contro l’Iran. Ciononostante, la porta alla diplomazia rimane aperta”.

Washington non sembra volersi mettere al fianco di Tel Aviv anche in questa nuova offensiva, per adesso solo verbale, contro l’Iran. E, come è ormai chiaro, mira invece a una distensione che indirizzi il conflitto verso un tavolo di pace. A confermarlo, secondo quanto scrive il Financial Times, è anche l’intervento diretto di Donald Trump per stoppare una nuova campagna militare israeliana che doveva iniziare il 10 ottobre scorso. Netanyahu, si legge, aveva incaricato le sue forze armate di pianificare una nuova offensiva di vasta portata, con l’esercito israeliano pronto per una campagna di bombardamenti di più giorni che avrebbe preso di mira infrastrutture civili come centrali elettriche, impianti nucleari e altri obiettivi. Una versione confermata da tre fonti che hanno parlato al quotidiano finanziario britannico ma che viene smentita dal Jerusalem Post, secondo cui né Netanyahu né Katz o altri esponenti del governo avevano dato ordine all’Idf di prepararsi all’attacco.

T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are married — and their exes are engaged. Here's a complete timeline of their relationship.

  • Former "GMA3" co-anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are married.
  • The two first sparked controversy when they were spotted cuddling while still legally married.
  • Nearly four years later, the two are now legally wed, and their exes are engaged.

As one of the internet's favorite sayings goes: Never let your spouse stop you from finding your soulmate.

"GMA3: What You Need to Know" co-anchors T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach sparked controversy in November 2022 after their relationship became public when photos of them cuddling were published by The Daily Mail.

The relationship between the two journalists — who were legally married to other people at the time — subsequently made national headlines. 

Holmes married attorney Marilee Fiebig, 49, in 2010, the same year Robach married actor Andrew Shue, 59. After the news broke, both Holmes, 49, and Robach, 53, said they were either separated or in the midst of divorce proceedings when they were photographed together.

"To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship, but everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers — being outed as cheating on our spouses — and it wasn't the case," Holmes said on a December 2023 episode of their podcast, "Amy & T.J."

In October 2025, nearly three years after the first headlines about their relationship, Holmes and Robach announced on their podcast that they had gotten engaged.

One year after their engagement, Robach and Holmes married on September 19, 2026, in Holmes' home state of Arkansas, according to public marriage records. People reported the news on October 13.

In a happy twist, Shue and Fiebig are also in a relationship and have been together since December 2023. They announced their engagement just over a week after Robach and Holmes' marriage became public.

Here's a timeline of the scandal that rocked "GMA3" and led to both Holmes and Robach exiting the morning show.

Holmes and Robach did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Robach and Holmes began cohosting "GMA3: What You Need to Know" in 2020, although they had worked together at ABC since Holmes' hiring in 2014.

In November 2022, The Daily Mail posted images of them together in a series of intimate situations, including having drinks in a New York bar and traveling to a cottage in the Shawangunk Mountains of upstate New York. The two were pictured laughing together, holding hands, and casually touching one another.

Shortly after, Entertainment Weekly reported that Holmes shuttered his X and Instagram accounts, and Robach deactivated her Instagram profile.

An October 2022 interview between Robach and Witherspoon resurfaced on Twitter, reminding viewers that the host had once possibly hinted at drama occurring behind-the-scenes of "GMA3."

Witherspoon, who was promoting her Apple TV+ drama "The Morning Show," asked Robach and her co-hosts whether the fictional workplace drama "hit home a little bit."

"We can give you a few more plot lines," Robach replied, as her colleagues laughed. Witherspoon jumped on the opportunity to take the show's stories to the next level. 

"Email me," she told Robach.

People reported that Holmes and Robach were both effectively single when they began dating, citing sources. 

"This was two consenting adults who were each separated. They both broke up with their spouses in August within weeks of each other," a source said.

"The relationship didn't start until after that," they added.

Meanwhile, the two anchors continued filming. On December 2, they even joked about what "a great week" they were having in a sarcastic tone, according to Page Six.

Robach and Holmes were placed on hiatus from "GMA3" amid the scandal. The New York Times reported ABC News' then-president, Kim Godwin, called the news frenzy surrounding their relationship an "internal and external distraction" on a morning editorial call.

It came amid claims from staffers that Holmes had engaged in relationships with other colleagues at ABC during his time there, while married. He has not publicly commented on the accusations.

Holmes filed for divorce from Fiebig in New York. They were married for nearly 13 years and share one daughter, Sabine.

On the same day the news broke, Holmes and Robach were photographed making out in Miami.

January 2023: Holmes' estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig, spoke out via her divorce lawyer for the first time since the scandal broke.

"Marilee's sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her 9-year-old daughter," Stephanie Lehman, Fiebig's lawyer, told The Daily Mail.

She confirmed that the divorce between Fiebig and Holmes was progressing. "To that end, T.J.'s lawyer and I have been working together to move their divorce forward privately, expeditiously, and as amicably as possible," Lehman continued.

Lehman criticized Holmes' public actions.

"Notwithstanding, we continue to be disappointed by T.J.'s lack of discretion, respect, and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party's daughter," she added.

The divorce was ultimately settled in October 2023, People reported.

January 27, 2023: Holmes and Robach exited "GMA3" permanently.

In late January 2023, TMZ was the first to report that the co-anchors were preparing to officially exit "GMA3."

The same day as the reports, Holmes' and Robach's exits were confirmed. In a statement given to Business Insider, ABC said that Holmes and Robach were officially leaving the network.

"After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News," a spokesperson for the network said. "We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions."

During the first episode of "Amy & T.J.," the former anchors emphasized that they were both separated from their respective partners when their relationship began.

"To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship," Holmes said on the podcast. "But everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers, being outed as cheating on our spouses, and it wasn't the case."

Robach, for her part, said her close friends knew she was in the middle of divorcing Shue when the photos of her and Holmes leaked in November 2022.

"I took my ring off early August. It was very clear to anyone who knew me that I was in the middle of a divorce," she said.

Holmes also acknowledged that the couple probably could have gone about things differently.

"We shouldn't have allowed — and I could say that in hindsight — for folks to find out about our relationship before they found out about our divorces," he said. 

But Robach said they were trying to protect their families from potential backlash.

"We thought we were protecting our children and our families, and we thought we had time," she said. "And we thought we had a right to privacy. And maybe that was foolish and silly."

December 5, 2023: The same day the podcast launched, reports surfaced that Robach's and Holmes' exes were dating.

Page Six first reported that Robach's ex, Andrew Shue, and Holmes' ex, Marilee Fiebig, had been dating for about six months.

People reported that they "bonded over their shared experience of splitting from their partners," citing a source.

As running has been part of their relationship for years, the two continued their tradition by participating in the NYC Half Marathon in March 2024.

Robach called the day "13.1 miles of pure joy" on Instagram.

September 30, 2024: Holmes and Robach announced they had moved in together.

The decision to move in together was spurred by Robach's then-21-year-old daughter, Ava, who asked to temporarily move into her mom's apartment due to a roach infestation.

"I've just said, 'Hey y'all, knock yourselves out. I'll be at T.J.'s,' " Robach said on their podcast.

This led to the two officially cohabitating.

"I've enjoyed the time that we've had together. It's been a little different, but I've liked it," Holmes said.

In February 2025, Us Weekly reported that their exes, Shue and Fiebig, had moved in together as well.

In a four-minute minisode of their podcast, Robach and Holmes shared the news that they are officially engaged — and had been for around a month.

"I was in three massive football stadiums three weekends in a row, wearing my engagement ring very proudly, very excitedly, and kept waiting for somebody to point it out or ask me, 'Hey, what's that?' And it never happened," Robach said.

Holmes added that if any news about the proposal came out from anyone besides them or "the 10 people" they told, it was nonsense.

The license was filed with the County Clerk's office in Washington County on October 13, which is how the news of their marriage became public. They have not commented on their marriage yet, but they've talked about it before.

During a May 2026 episode of their podcast, they shared that they had picked a date and "a way" they wanted to get married that "would be very special to us," but didn't give details. "We can't say what that is. That's a big thing for us."

On October 21, Shue confirmed to People that he and Fiebeg were engaged after three years of dating.

"I don't know how it happened, but there's a happy ending," he said. "I don't think there was anything other than this just happened to be our way of getting to know each other and being able to share ourselves with each other in a time where we both needed a friend," he added, referring to how they first met.

"We're very grateful and hopeful," he concluded.

Secret sex video rocks University of North Carolina at Charlotte fraternity, 1 arrested: Police

21 October 2026 at 15:46

Police said a 19-year-old was taken into custody after allegedly filming a University of North Carolina at Charlotte student during sex and sent the video to a fraternity group chat.

Officials accused Alexander Michael Evanoff of using his cellphone on Sept. 19 to secretly record a "sexually explicit video" of a woman while the two had sex, then sharing it without her consent. He was charged with one count of disclosing private images and two counts of felony secret peeping.

After Evanoff and the woman had sex, he allegedly sent a video of the sexually explicit recording to a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity group chat, which had 32 members.

During an interview with law enforcement, according to the affidavit, Evanoff allegedly admitted to intentionally recording the sexual act and sending it to the fraternity group chat.

He also acknowledged to detectives that he didn't request or obtain the victim's permission to create or distribute the video.

SEND US A TIP

When the woman confronted Evanoff about the alleged recording, she asked if sending it to the fraternity group chat made him "appear cool," to which he "responded affirmatively" and apologized.

Evanoff was arrested Monday and released Tuesday on $10,000 bond, according to court and jail records.

Julia Stiles faz homenagem a Heath Ledger em competição de dança; assista

21 October 2026 at 15:37

A atriz Julia Stiles, 45, emocionou os fãs na última terça-feira (20), durante sua participação no programa “Dancing with the Stars”.

No palco da atração, a artista fez uma homenagem ao amigo Heath Ledger (1979-2008), com quem viveu o par romântico do clássico juvenil “10 Coisas que Eu Odeio em Você”, lançado em 1999.

Ao lado do parceiro, Ezra Sosa, Julia embalou a plateia ao som do hit “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, em uma performance de dança contemporânea.  Para tornar a performance ainda mais especial, o elenco do longa subiu no palco e se juntou à atriz.

Assista:

No longa, Patrick Verona, papel de Ledger, tenta conquistar Kat Stratford (Stiles), fazendo uma serenata apaixonada justamente com essa canção, contrando a fanfarra da escola para tocar enquanto ele dança na arquibancada da quadra da escola e depois é perseguido pelos seguranças da instituição.

Hearh morreu em janeiro de 2008, em decorrência de uma overdose acidental de medicamentos controlados. Em 2009, ele venceu o Oscar póstumo, na categoria de Melhor Ator Coadjuvante por sua atuação como o vilão Coringa em “Batman: O Cavaleiro das Trevas”.

“10 Coisas que Eu Odeio em Você” ganhará adaptação teatral na Broadway

 

LeBron James curses out Knicks fan in heated exchange: 'I don't know what the f--- you talking about'

21 October 2026 at 15:32

LeBron James played spoiler against the New York Knicks on their championship banner night in his first game of his unprecedented 24th NBA season, but not before getting into a war of words with a fan.

Late in the second quarter, Jalen Brunson was shooting free throws as the brand-new Philadelphia 76ers star got heated with someone sitting near the sidelines.

It's not clear what provoked James to get angry, but it seems like it had to do with where he's from and/or previously lived.

"Ain't nothing soft in the Midwest, I don't know what the f---  you talking about," James, an Akron, Ohio, native said.

The conversation took a turn when James, who just got finished playing eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, mentioned what is now his former home.

"I'm not from the west coast, I'm from Ohio baby. I'm not a midwest kid - I'm an Ohio baby. F--- is you talking about?"

The NBC broadcast, via the New York Post, said that the exchange came as fans were taunting James over his helicopter use, which has become rather controversial. James’ brand deal with Fanatics includes use of the company’s corporate aviation, and he has been using it to commute from his new home in New York to Philadelphia for practices.

James recently said it was "just another way of transportation."

During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made clear that there was no reason to be concerned about either the arrangement between James and Fanatics or potential salary-cap circumvention.

"He has a deal with Fanatics," Silver said just hours before the Detroit Pistons rallied for a comeback win over the Boston Celtics to tip off the new season. " . . . Part of his deal is they're going to supply a helicopter to him as long as it's just a deal between the Fanatics and LeBron and no team is involved; there's no rules issue there whatsoever."

Naturally, James' first game of the season was at Madison Square Garden, so he had a much shorter commute.

After signing with the Sixers in free agency, James decided his primary residence would be in the country's largest city. He is not the first NBA player to do so while playing for Philadelphia. Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick also lived in New York during his two seasons with the Sixers. But James’ decision to make the routine trip by helicopter has drawn particular attention.
