OnlyFans Model Allegedly Murdered Client While Filming BDSM Content
Originally appeared on E! Online
An OnlyFans creator is facing a murder charge after an alleged sexual encounter gone wrong.
Michaela Rylaarsdam was charged over the 2023 death of Michael Dale, according to a criminal complaint obtained by E! News. An investigation into the matter determined he died of suffocation after a paid sexual encounter with Rylaarsdam, according to an Escondido Police Department affidavit obtained by local FOX affiliate KWSB-TV.
Dale, 56, allegedly reached out to Rylaarsdam, then 29, in March of that year and paid her over $11,000 to perform BDSM acts in his home near San Diego the following month, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing the affidavit. While Dale appeared intoxicated upon the OnlyFans model's arrival, she fulfilled his requests, including wrapping him 'like a mummy' in saran wrap and gluing a pair of women's boots to his feet, per the affidavit.
Four hours after the encounter began, the mother of three—who created content under the pseudonym Asshley SinCal—called 911 and proceeded to perform CPR on Dale as first responders arrived, the Times reported. When detectives examined her cell phone, they discovered videos featuring Dale—who at that point was struggling to breathe—that police said were taken for her OnlyFans page, according to the outlet.

'He had duct tape over his mouth, a plastic bag over his head, more saran wrap around that, and then duct tape wrapped around his face and head, securing all the layers to his head,' the affidavit read, according to the Times. 'He also appeared to have had saran wrap wrapped around his neck tightly.'
The affidavit also said that Dale's head was sealed in the bag for at least eight minutes, per the outlet. Rylaarsdam told police she had never engaged in fetish behavior before the encounter and denied placing anything over his head.
Paramedics transported Dale to a local hospital where he was pronounced brain dead the following day and taken off life support several days later, KWSB-TV reported. The San Diego County Medical Examiner's office later ruled his death a homicide caused by asphyxia, according to the Times.
As for Rylaarsdam, she has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail at the Las Colinas Detention Facility in San Diego County.
E! News has reached out to Rylaarsdam's lawyer for comment but has not heard back.

Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and New York Times
A New York judge has tossed out Justin Baldoni's $400-million US defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist, while also dismissing a $250-million US defamation suit against the New York Times for reporting on Lively's claims of sexual harassment during the filming of the 2024 movie It Ends With Us. Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motions to dismiss the suits from Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios on Monday, saying Lively was not liable for sexual misconduct claims against the 41-year-old because they were made in a civil rights complaint and are legally protected. In his written opinion, Liman noted Baldoni and Wayfarer had not alleged Lively was liable for any other claims than the ones made in her civil suit. In her own lawsuit, Lively, 37, has accused Baldoni of harassment, alleging that he and Wayfarer conducted a co-ordinated smear campaign to attack her reputation for coming forward about her treatment on the set. Baldoni, too, has accused the actor of trying to destroy his reputation. Liman wrote that Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloan and the New York Times also did not make statements beyond what Lively had alleged about Baldoni. "The Wayfarer parties have alleged that Reynolds and Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct, and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law," the opinion reads. Liman is allowing Baldoni to amend some of his claims and refile by June 23.

"Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times," Lively's lawyers said in a statement published by Variety. "As we have said from Day 1, this $400-million lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it. We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, [Steve] Sarowitz, [Melissa] Nathan, and the other Wayfarer parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation." Baldoni's suit, filed in December, sought at least $400 million in damages that include lost future income. Lively filed her own federal lawsuit against Baldoni and several others tied to It Ends With Us, alleging harassment and a co-ordinated campaign to attack her reputation for coming forward about her treatment on the set of the romantic drama. That suit was filed in New York just hours after Baldoni and many of the other defendants in Lively's suit sued The New York Times for libel for its story on her allegations, saying the newspaper and the star were the ones conducting a co-ordinated smear campaign.

Justin Baldoni's $400 Million Countersuit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Dismissed by Judge
Justin Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and other parties was dismissed by the judge on June 9 The New York Times has stood by its coverage since the lawsuit, and Lively's lawyers previously called Baldoni's lawsuit "vengeful" Baldoni's lawyer previously called Lively's motion to dismiss the lawsuit an "abhorrent examples of abusing our legal system"In a major setback for Justin Baldoni, the It Ends With Us director-star's countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and their publicist, as well as his lawsuit against The New York Times, have been tossed out by the judge. On Monday, June 9, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motion to dismiss the $400 million lawsuit filed by Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties against Lively and Reynolds, which alleged extortion and defamation, as well as the $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Times. The judge noted, though, that Baldoni's legal team can still amend the claims for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract if they choose to, with a deadline of June 23. "The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her CRD complaint, which are privileged," Judge Liman wrote in the opinion and order filing viewed by PEOPLE. "The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law." The judge added, "The Wayfarer Parties' additional claims also fail. Accordingly, the Amended Complaint must be dismissed in its entirety." Attorneys for Baldoni did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Lively's lawyers Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb call the decision a "total victory and a complete vindication" for the actress and the others whom "Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times." "As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it," they say in the statement, adding that "we look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages" from the Wayfarer parties who they say "perpetrated this abusive litigation.' Sigrid McCawley, an attorney representing Lively's publicist Sloane, says in a statement, "Leslie Sloane has consistently said that she never defamed Baldoni or the Wayfarer Parties and she was wrongfully dragged into this lawsuit because the Wayfarer Parties wanted to actively harm Sloane's reputation. Today's decision by the Court makes clear that Sloane did nothing wrong. Sloane stands fully vindicated, and justice has been served." The Times has long stood behind its coverage of Lively's complaint that was filed in December 2024 and led to her lawsuit against Baldoni. She has alleged sexual harassment and retaliation, which he denies, and her lawyers have previously called his subsequent countersuit "vengeful" and "meritless." A spokesperson for the newspaper previously said, "Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported." Lively, 37, recently agreed to drop two of her claims against Baldoni, 41 — intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress — in a move her legal team described as a "routine part of the litigation process" for "streamlining and focusing" their case. is now available in the Apple App Store!

In March, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman spoke out after Lively filed a motion to dismiss their countersuit, saying the actress' attempt to "dismiss herself from the self-concocted disaster she initiated is one of the most abhorrent examples of abusing our legal system." He added at the time, 'Stringent rules are put into place to protect the innocent and allow individuals to rightfully defend themselves. Laws are not meant to be twisted and curated by privileged elites to fit their own personal agenda." Lively and Baldoni's trial — during which both are expected to testify — is currently scheduled for March 2026. Read the original article on People

Tom Felton Addresses J.K. Rowling Controversy Amid Harry Potter Return
Originally appeared on E! Online Tom Felton isn't tuned into the noise. Just days after the Harry Potter alum announced he'll be returning to the franchise as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child on Broadway, Tom was asked whether some of the controversy around author J.K. Rowling's anti-trans statements affected his decision to return. "No, I can't say it does," Tom told Variety on the red carpet of the Tony Awards June 8. "I'm not really that attuned to it." The 37-year-old—who starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in the films— continued, "The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world. Here I am in New York. And I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter, and she's responsible for that. So, I'm incredibly grateful." In fact, Tom spoke to how the existence of the Broadway production—which follows the unlikely friendship between the sons of Harry and Draco after they both get sorted into Slytherin house—speaks to the longevity of Harry Potter.
