Aussie influencer slammed as tone deaf for complaining about everything in LA while riots break out in the city: 'You not been on the news?'

Daily Mail​a day ago

Controversial influencer Kat Clark has been slammed for complaining about living in Los Angeles while anti-ICE protests rage through the city.
As locals deal with a fourth day of riots in California, Marines and the National Guard have hit the streets to 'address the lawlessness' of protesters.
However, Clark appeared oblivious to the chaos on Sunday as she uploaded a vlog about her daily inconveniences in LA.
'Australians and Americans may speak the same language, but today proved we live completely different lives. Firstly, why is there no good coffee in LA?' she began.
'They also take security very seriously,' she added as she showed footage of store fronts locked up with security gates.

Clark, who relocated to LA from the Gold Coast with her husband Jonathan and their daughter Deja, 14, went on to complain about people not using towels at the gym.
'These are just the small things I've noticed since moving here. Wait until you see what else I learned,' she continued.
'They love their ranch. They've got litres of it. They even have tuna flavoured bacon ranch. That sounds gross,' Clark added as she visited a Ralphs grocery store.
'I'm not going to lie, they have a lot of questionable things here, but they also have a lot of things that just make sense.'
Followers flocked to the comments of the video to slam Clark for appearing to ignore the riots and military presence throughout LA.
'U not been on the news?' one person wrote.
'Kat completely oblivious to what's happen in LA right now,' another added.
A third wrote: 'Are u going to talk about anything that's happening in LA atm?'
'Y'all just pretending LA isn't a disaster rn,' said yet another.
Clark responded to the comments, explaining she was was aware of what has been happening in the city.
'I hear you and I've been following everything closely,' she said.
'As someone on a visa, I have to be mindful about what I say, but please know I'm listening, learning and supporting where I can.'
Fans then jumped in to offer their support to Clark.
'What is she supposed to do about it?' one person wrote.
Another user said: 'She just moved there let her enjoy for like a second.'
'It's her life why does she have to do everything to satisfy u guys?' commented someone else.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Clark for comment.
700 Marines and 2,100 National Guard members have hit the LA streets to 'address the lawlessness' in California, according to President Donald Trump.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military will stay in the city for 60 days to combat violent 'rioters, looters and thugs' during the immigration riots.
The chaos began on Friday when anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters seized on a handful of police raids across LA, taking to the streets to burn cars and march against what they say are unfair deportations.
Local business owners are outraged as destructive looters continue to target downtown stores as the protests continue on.
Trump on Tuesday flirted with invoking the Insurrection Act as he tore into 'bad people' and 'animals' he said brought the city to the verge of burning down.
The president defended his decision to send 700 Marines as well as the California National Guard to LA, and brushed off California Gov. Gavin Newsom's claim the deployment inflamed the situation.
And he would not rule out use of an authority to deploy military forces under his control to put down disturbances if he sees fit.
'If there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We'll see. But I can tell you, last night was terrible. The night before that was terrible,' Trump said.
'If we didn't send in the national guard quickly, right now, Los Angeles would be burning to the ground,' Trump told reporters in an impromptu Oval Office meeting with members of his team.

Who is Dele Alli's ex-girlfriend Cindy Kimberly?

CINDY Kimberly rose to fame as a model in her own right but is now dealing with the split from a famous ex-boyfriend.

The star was born in Amsterdam on November 16, 1998 and is half Spanish and half Indonesian. She currently works as a model and influencer and is signed to Uno models.

In December 2015, Justin Beiber posted a photo of Cindy on his Instagram page and added the caption: "OMG who is this??" The post made Cindy an instant internet sensation, and shortly after modelling companies were knocking at her door looking to sign her. At the time she told the Daily Mail: "When I saw Justin was asking about me I got very emotional because I've been a fan of his for more than six years. It seems like a fairytale. "A friend of mine often used to joke that one day I'd be one of the girls he talked about and I didn't believe her. "My life changed positively since Justin appeared in my life." When did Dele Alli and Cindy Kimberly split? It is believed that the couple has separated after Cindy removed all traces of Dele from her Instagram account. The stunning model has also unfollowed the former Tottenham player on Instagram, and yet Dele continues to follow Cindy on social media and has kept the posts of romantic pictures of them together. Rumours surrounding the split came after Dele was spotted on holiday in Ibiza with Amsterdam-based model Parmida Shahbazy while Cindy was working in Morocco. The split comes after a difficult season for the former England international in Serie A for Como as he struggled to impress in his first game in two years. 2 When did Dele Alli meet Cindy Kimberly? Cindy was first spotted with footballer Dele Alli while holidaying on a yacht in Capri, Italy in 2022. They sometimes shared photos together on their social media pages. During their relationship, Cindy stood by Dele after he revealed his addiction to sleeping pills and mental health issues in an interview with Gary Neville. But after three years the couple has split. Who else has Dele Alli dated? Dele began dating model Ruby Mae in 2016. After splitting up briefly in 2018, Ruby broke up with Dele for good in early 2021. In May of the same year, he was spotted kissing Maria Guardiola, daughter of Manchester City manager Pep. Dele and Maria were spotted out together again that October but their relationship fizzled out shortly after.

JoJo Siwa breaks down in tears as she leaves UK to head back home after spending three weeks with Chris Hughes

JOJO Siwa revealed she's in floods of tears after leaving the UK following three weeks with her boyfriend, Chris Hughes. The US pop star, 22, returned to London in May to perform a gig and enjoyed an extended stay with Chris, who she met on Celebrity Big Brother in March 5 5 5 A JoJo fan page shared a meme of a young girl crying in London on Instagram which the pop star reposted and added: "Honestly it was worse than this more tears hahaha." It was reminiscent of the first days of their romance when Chris jetted home from the States after a week-long stay, leaving JoJo in tears. They're confident they can weather long distance though. JoJo insisted she'll never break up with Chris, 32, calling their relationship "earthquake proof". She told Capital Breakfast: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris. The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! "And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best." The pair spent time with Chris's parents in the Cotswolds during her stay, enjoying time riding horses. They couldn't keep their hands off each other at times with Chris pictured kissing JoJo on the neck. JoJo admitted she's "shocked" at how close they have become in such a short period of time. Speaking to Billboard, she said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for. "I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing. "You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell." 5 5

Tragedy after family let boy, 12, buy dirt bike and ride it illegally around North Carolina city

A 12-year-old North Carolina boy died after being hit by a truck while illegally riding a dirt bike to the gas station. Mikey Malanda was riding to refuel just minutes from his Charlotte home around 1pm on Sunday when he was struck by a red truck at the intersection of Oakdale and Auten Roads, police said. Mikey was pronounced dead at the scene. His family said the young boy road his dirt bike to the gas station every Sunday before he would peruse the city of 911,000 with his friends. 'He just went out to get a little bit of gas so he could be able to go do something that he loved,' his aunt, Laure Makiona, told The Charlotte Observer. 'Never did we think we wouldn't get to see him anymore.' It is unclear what caused the fatal collision and no charges have been pressed against the unidentified truck driver as of Thursday morning. Dirt bikes are not street legal in North Carolina, as the vehicles don't have headlights, turn signals, mirrors, and more. The crash is still under investigation and it is unclear if anyone will face criminal charges. The Malanda family has let the Lake Norman Charter School student ride his dirt bike to the gas station weekly and had always advised him to be careful near the Oakdale and Auten Roads intersection. Mikey had been headed to the gas station his father had taken him to before he even knew how to ride, the Mike Malanda told the outlet. His father said his son 'dreamed of a motorcycle' since he was just a toddler and 'loved riding his bicycle and doing tricks.' The preteen was also active in the local biking community and often participated in group rides. Richard Flood, who organizes The Last Sunday monthly ride, often recalled Mikey showing up with his big smile and laughter. 'No matter how hard it may seem or how hard he was struggling, Mikey always kept pushing,' Flood told The Observer. 'Mikey was a very strong soul.' The preteen often made sure those in the back didn't get left behind and took care of the people around him, he told the outlet. His family and friends remember the 12-year-old as a loving and caring person. 'Mikey always made everybody laugh,' his aunt, Lucie Bunsana, told The Observer. Neighborhood kids also called him Mikey the Motivational Speaker as he was known for giving good advice. He even recently asked his mother to let him mentor younger kids in a church program. 'I did not know how many people's lives he touched until this day,' she told the outlet. 'I can say that I am a proud mother.' His kindergarten teacher, Emily Kessler, told The Observer she doesn't have a single picture of the boy where he isn't hugging someone. His fourth grade teacher, Carly Pasell, told the outlet: 'He could draw you out and hold a deep conversation with you even at nine years old.' His classmates called him Big Mike affectionately and the young student often took home the class hamster Tater Tot on holidays and weekends. Principal Nick Carlascio told the outlet that the young scholar often went out of his way to help other students and look out for them. His school paid tribute to him, writing on Facebook: 'Affectionately known as "Big Mike" he will be remembered by his classmates, friends and teachers for his larger than life personality, playful nature and kind soul. 'The LNC community joins Mike's family in grieving this profound loss.'
