‘Crazy stalker' toasts bride and groom with unhinged wedding speech confession: ‘What does she have that I don't?'
There's nearly nothing sweeter than a sweetheart declaring her undying devotion to the groom at a wedding — unless, of course, the lady professing her love isn't the bride.
'I let this crazy woman attend my wedding and she crashed out,' newlywed Dan Freed wrote in the closed-captions of a startling scene from his nightmarish nuptials.

4 A groom virally claims that a 'stalker' hijacked his wedding by delivering a 'crazy' speech during the reception.

Eye-popping footage of the reception ruckus, which pulled in nearly 600,000 TikTok views, features an unnamed dame shamelessly fawning over Freed in front of his new wife and well-wishers before spiraling into an emotionally charged tirade.
But social media skeptics can't seem to decide whether the gal, who Freed has deemed a 'stalker,' is a legit wedding crasher or simply a paid actor, hired to shake things up at the shindig.

'You are the luckiest woman in the world,' began the blonde in her speech. 'Dan is such a great guy. He's got everything a woman could ever want.'
'He's kind, generous, successful, gorgeous. He's got an incredible body,' she continued to the laughing crowd before ripping the microphone off its stand and announcing, 'I'm just going to speak from the heart.'
That's when the vibes switched from cutesy to kooky.
4 Stunned social media spectators showered Freed and his new bride with support in light of their wedding day disruption.

'I would do anything to be you, Carolyn,' the showstopper said to the bride as onlookers nervously chuckled.
'No really, I would,' she asserted angrily, 'because, Dan, you never even gave us a chance, you never even gave us a chance.'
'I'm the one who taught you to make crab cakes,' ranted the distressed damsel, while the once-giggling faces of the onlookers turned stone-cold in shock.
Freed jumped out of his seat and wrested the mic out of the woman's hands.

'What does she have that I don't?,' she screamed. 'I'm Asian, too. I can dye my hair black.'
4 Freed's clip has left the internet divided as to whether the woman's meltdown was legit or a staged skit.

A handful of horrified folks online called the disastrous display 'crazy,' and offered Freed and his new wife sympathy and support.
'Block her number in his phone and everywhere on social media, cuz she ain't gonna leave him alone everrrrrr,' advised a concerned commenter.
'Men and women cannot be strictly platonic friends. Especially not when you are in a committed relationship. Only exception is if she's also in a relationship and you are only together as couples. Even then… caution,' wrote another.
'I kinda feel bad for her, mostly because everyone was laughing probably thinking it was a joke at first,' a bleeding heart chimed.
Freed responded saying, 'It was very awkward. I think the laughs turned to anger really fast.'
4 Freed claims his wedding guests were also confused by the woman's wacky confession.

Still, some not-so-easily fooled cynics seem to be convinced that the meltdown was nothing more than an afterparty prank.
'Dan this can't be real why was she invited if it was?,' questioned an audience member.
'Are we sure this isn't just a wedding of improv actors and their closest friends because this is so good,' another said.
'Great set!,' joked a doubter. 'Weddings are overrated, so I'm glad yours had entertainment.'

'Please let this be staged,' a separate viewer prayed, prompting Freed to answer, writing, 'Who would be crazy enough to destroy their own wedding.'
And he's right. Wild wedding speeches can upend perfectly pleasant unions.
Desiree White, a recent bride, was swept off of her feet, when the best man confessed his love in a toast at her special soirée.

Rachel, another newly hitched heartbreaker, from Oklahoma, was publicly outed for cozying up to her groom while she was still in a relationship with his best friend, Dylan, who was also the best man.
'I just noticed the connection they had,' said Dylan in his shocking address to Rachel's 150 wedding guests. 'The laughs they shared together, the way they looked at each other.'
'And you would think it sounds really romantic, but the only problem was I was dating Rachel at the time.'

Man Still Visits Dog 4 Years After Breakup—Labrador's Reaction Says It All
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Constant questions about why she lets her ex still see the dog have been shot down after an owner filmed how happy her canine becomes when he picks her up. About seven years ago, Joanne Kelly and her now-ex welcomed home her Labrador retriever, Luna. Although Kelly said Luna was primarily her dog, as she was the one adamant about getting a canine, he quickly fell in love with her, too. The couple split when Luna was about 3 years old, Kelly told Newsweek via email, but she told him that she would not stop him from seeing Luna, leading to a weekly arrangement that has continued for years. Her ex will pick up the dog on the weekends, sometimes keeping her overnight. "It does trigger me a lot of the time, having to see him every week and watching Lu get so excited, but I want what's best for Lu, and I know he does," Kelly said. She shared in a July 5 video on her TikTok account @paws_whiskers_cutepets of Luna's reaction as her ex pulls up to the house. Luna knows the routine: wait on the couch and look out the window. Once she hears and sees his car, it is straight to the window. Luna places her front paws on the ledge, confirming he arrived. There are instant tail wags the minute she spots his car, even after four years into this routine. Luna's excitement confirms to Kelly that she will never stop letting them hang out. Screenshots from a July 5 TikTok video of Luna the Labrador retriever excitedly waiting for her owner's ex to come and take her on a walk. Screenshots from a July 5 TikTok video of Luna the Labrador retriever excitedly waiting for her owner's ex to come and take her on a walk. @paws_whiskers_cutepets/TikTok "My ex can walk her longer distances, and the kind of walks she loves, such as scrambles," Kelly said. "He would help out with any medical or food costs if needed." Kelly wants only what is best for Luna, and if that means seeing her ex, she will continue to do it. Plus, this arrangement means free pet sitting when she needs it. Stunned by the 569,400-plus views and more than 21,100 likes her TikTok video received, Kelly said she didn't realize how emotional the post would be for people. "I have had so many comments, really heartbreaking ones, and some happy stories also," she said. "I've also had some silly comments claiming I shouldn't be the one to have her as she clearly loves him more, but hey, someone has always got to say something daft, don't they?" Several viewers applauded Kelly for continuing this routine. One posted: "Should be normal, that's your child and he is her dad." A second person shared: "My ex still sees my dogs, takes them out and even buys their food. A real man loves the pets as much as u, regardless if together or not." Kelly said that owners should allow their exes to see their pets, as long as there is a mutual respect and no fear of stealing or abuse.

With her app Smash, Kesha can be whoever she wants – even a tech CEO
Kesha – yes, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack Kesha – is now a startup founder. But if you think her journey from raunchy pop star to CEO is unexpected, then you haven't been paying attention. Kesha has always embraced contradictions. She exploded onto the pop scene in 2010 with irreverent ear candy like 'Blah Blah Blah' and 'TiK ToK,' stylizing her name with a dollar sign despite throwing shade at the egregious wealth of Hollywood. She didn't let people dismiss her as a one-dimensional, glitter-clad party girl. As beleaguered high schoolers studied for exams amid Kesha's rise to fame, they whispered in frustration about how the world's most famous party girl got a near-perfect score on the SAT, but turned down a full-ride to Barnard College to sing about peeing in champagne bottles. The biggest contradiction of Kesha's story is that despite living the dream of a pop star on the surface, her years in the spotlight were nightmarish behind the scenes. Now, drawing from her own experience suffering at the hands of predatory record contracts, Kesha is building an app called Smash, which is a way for musicians to find one another, make music together, and establish clear, artist-friendly contracts among collaborators. Smash aims to set itself apart by using a built-in system to generate contracts between artists. The terms of the contracts depend on what each artist decides — for example, a musician may decide to license a beat for set fee, or request a percentage of royalties over time. Smash would fund itself by taking a small cut of payments made through the app. 'One of the pieces of leverage, especially over younger music creators, is you need a way into the club,' Kesha's brother and Smash co-founder Lagan Sebert told TechCrunch. 'With Smash, we want to give music creators the keys to get into this club of professionals and other creators without them feeling like they have to sign anything away, or make any large decisions about the rest of their lives.' After establishing herself as a powerhouse pop star, Kesha sued her producer Dr. Luke in 2014 for alleged sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. He immediately countersued her for defamation, sparking a high-profile legal battle and reckoning with the dark side of pop music. Though Kesha sought to get out of her recording contract with Dr. Luke, the court ruled against her, forcing her to release three more albums with him. It was only this month — on July 4, a date chosen very intentionally — that Kesha released an album without Dr. Luke for the first time. But regaining her own artistic agency isn't enough. Now that she is a fully independent artist, she wants to help ensure that other young musicians don't fall victim to exploitative record deals like she did. 'One of the things that really motivated her was when she went through this long legal battle to regain the rights to her voice, regain rights to her music,' Sebert said. 'I think the motivation behind Smash more than anything was to try to give music creators access to the community they need to create music independently.' Building the Band If Kesha and her brother were going to build an app, they were going to need some technological expertise. Years ago, Kesha attended an ACTAI Ventures event and met Lars Rasmussen, who co-founded Google Maps and was one of the first investors in design unicorn Canva. The two stayed in touch, and when it came time to build Smash, Rasmussen introduced her to Alan Cannistraro, who would become the app's CTO. Cannistraro spent over 12 years at Apple, where he worked on products for creatives like Final Cut; he also managed a team of engineers to build the first ever apps for iOS, like Remote, iBooks, iTunes, and Podcasts. He went on to start Rheo, a social video startup, but he has always had an interest in music. 'In the late '90s, when my friends were all using Napster, I was saying to them, 'What the hell, you like this music, why are you screwing the artist?'' Cannistraro told TechCrunch. 'It's always just been in my value system that artists need to be supported.' When Kesha, her brother Lagan, and Cannistraro started working together, Rasmussen became one of their first investors. Kesha even announced the app as part of Rasmussen's Panathēnea festival in Greece. 'Smash is a community platform for music creators. It's a place where you can go to connect, to create, and to hire, all while retaining the rights to what you create,' Kesha said at the festival. 'The goal is to shift the power back to the hands of the creators.' 'The contracting is safe — it's all transparent, and then you get to choose, and you get consent over where your art and where your voice goes, and how it goes into the world, all while retaining the rights to what you have just created,' she added. The Smash app remains a work in progress, intending to open to some artists later this year. But to test some of the tech tools that the company has created thus far, Smash hosted a contest where artists could submit remixes of Kesha's song 'Boy Crazy' — the five winners of the contest will have their remixes released on Kesha's record label for what Sebert calls an 'industry standard remix fee.' 'I regained the rights to my voice back for the first time in my adult life about one year ago, as a 37-year-old woman,' Kesha said at Panathēnea. 'Predatory deals like that are normal.'
