TCU star Sedona Prince facing multiple allegations of sexual, physical abuse
This article contains depictions of alleged sexual assault.
TCU star Sedona Prince has been accused of sexual abuse from numerous ex-girlfriends and partners in recent years, according to a new report from The Washington Post.
Multiple women have come forward to report incidents of alleged abuse, stemming from physical, sexual and emotional abuse throughout her time both at Oregon and with the Horned Frogs, who she transferred to before the start of last season.
Prince denied all of the allegations made against her through her attorney, and said that she has never 'abused anyone in her life, whether mentally, emotionally or physically.
'Unfortunately, others have decided to use Sedona as a launch point for their careers,' the attorney, A. Boone Almanza, added. 'In an effort to create some relationship privacy, Sedona has asked girlfriends to sign nondisclosure agreements because their personal, intimate moments should not be the subject of public discussion.'
The first allegation dates back to 2019, when a woman said that Prince locked her in Prince's car and penetrated her with her fingers without consent while they were on a first date. The woman, Alyssa Jimmie, told The Post that Prince told her during the moment that, 'I didn't take you out for nothing.'
Jimmie said she 'froze' in fear after that, and felt stuck because Prince was more than a foot taller than her.
'If I wanted to do anything [to stop her], there was no chance,' she told The Post.
Jimmie has said that she has struggled 'severely' with depression and anxiety since then. She spoke out about the incident on social media years later, too, but did not name Prince. She eventually pulled the post down after Prince threatened to 'press charges.'
Prince was sued a year later for sexual misconduct. An unidentified woman alleged that, during a date in 2022, Prince grabbed the woman's hand and forced her to penetrate Prince despite her 'repeatedly' turning down Prince's advances. Prince did not respond to the lawsuit, and it was dismissed several months later.
A third woman said that Prince was both physically and emotionally abusive toward her. During a birthday trip to Mexico, the woman said, Prince punched her in the chest and shoved her against a wall in their hotel room. A few nights earlier, the woman said that Prince was drunk, shoved her off the back of a moving ATV and drove away. She was left injured on a road in a jungle.
Prince eventually returned after several minutes, per the report, but flipped the ATV twice while driving them back.
That woman, Olivia Stabile, talked about the incident on TikTok several months ago. Prince denied the allegations at the time, but admitted that 'I know that I have not been the best partner, and I take accountability for that,' per The Post.
'I always felt scared of her,' Stabile said, via The Post. 'Right when I woke up in the morning, I was scared.'
Prince appeared to admit to the ATV incident in WhatsApp messages, per the report, and said she did it 'because you were yelling at me.' That was one of several incidents on the trip. Prince later threatened to sue Stabile if she spoke out.
Then last month, there was another incident between Prince and an ex-girlfriend. They both reported domestic violence to police and both 'sustained minimal injury.' Neither woman was charged. The ex-girlfriend said that Prince had asked her to sign a nondisclosure agreement, which she did.
'Sedona was a victim of an assault in the early morning of Jan. 18 when a former friend entered her house uninvited,' Prince's attorney said in a statement about that incident, via The Post. 'Sedona was kicked and hit repeatedly and suffered bruises to her shins and received a black eye. Sedona did not fight back other than attempt to move her out of the way and block her blows. This has been a traumatic event for Sedona.'
Prince played for the Horned Frogs four days after that last incident. In fact, according to The Post, TCU has been aware of some of the allegations against Prince since last year.
'The university is aware of the allegations involving one of our student-athletes and is looking into the matter,' a school spokesperson told The Post.
The 6-foot-7 senior is a projected first round pick in the WNBA draft next season, and she is credited with helping push women's college basketball forward in recent years — including a viral post in 2021 that showed how bad the women's NCAA tournament facilities were. That led to the women's tournament finally getting 'March Madness' branding, among other things.
Prince has averaged 17.6 points, nine rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game this season with No. 11 TCU. The Horned Frogs will take on Arizona next on Sunday.
'It infuriates me that she's still allowed to be on the [TCU] team, but also because people credit her for bringing awareness to women's sports and jump-starting the conversation around equality when this is the type of person she is,' Jimmie said, via The Post.

Liberal news outlet mocked for reporting on ‘mysterious' drop in fentanyl flowing across border
The Washington Post is being mocked online and by the White House for "pathetic" reporting on what the liberal-leaning news outlet calls a "mysterious" decline in fentanyl flowing across the border. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is often trafficked into the United States across the southern and northern borders by cartels and other criminal elements. In 2024, fentanyl was linked to the death of 48,422 persons in the United States, according to the CDC. During his campaign, President Donald Trump vowed to wage a war against fentanyl traffickers through increased border security and by cracking down on illegal immigration. Since taking office, Trump has deployed U.S. troops to the southern border, targeted cartels and transnational criminal groups as "foreign terrorist organizations" and hit cartel leaders with sanctions. According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the U.S. law enforcement seizures of fentanyl, which the group explains is a "key indicator of broader total smuggling at and between the southern border's ports of entry," have dropped 50% since the November election. CIS states that this significant decline indicates a "greater decline in total fentanyl smuggling." Bondi Announces One Of Largest Fentanyl Seizures In Us History The Washington Post reports on this decline, stating that U.S. seizures at the southern border are down by almost 30 percent compared with the same period in 2024. The outlet, however, states that the drop "represents something of a mystery." Read On The Fox News App "After years of confiscating rising amounts of fentanyl, the opioid that has fueled the most lethal drug epidemic in American history, U.S. officials are confronting a new and puzzling reality at the Mexican border. Fentanyl seizures are plummeting," wrote the Post. Among the possible reasons listed by the outlet are cartels finding other ways to smuggle the drug into the U.S., cartel internal strife, ingredient shortages and a possible decline in demand. Though baffled by the reason for the decline, The Washington Post posited that "public health authorities are concerned that the Trump administration's budget cuts could hurt programs that have promoted overdose antidotes and addiction treatment." Some Fentanyl Dealers Would Be Charged With Felony Murder Under New Bill The article was widely mocked by conservatives online. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., commented on X, "The Washington Post is reporting a 'mysterious drop' in fentanyl seizures at the southern border. Mystery solved! The Trump effect is working." Charlie Kirk, a popular conservative influencer, also commented, saying: "Four months into the Trump administration, The Washington Post is marveling at the 'mysterious' drop in fentanyl seizures on the Mexican border … Is the Post simply lying, or are their reporters as dumb as the people they're writing propaganda for?" Click Here For More Immigration Coverage The Department of Homeland Security's official X account also replied, commenting: "It's no mystery. On day one, [President] Trump closed our borders to drug traffickers." DHS said that "from March 2024 to March 2025 fentanyl traffic at the southern border fell by 54%." "The world has heard the message loud and clear," said DHS. Whistleblower Accuses Biden Admin Of Leaving Thousands Of Migrant Child Trafficking Reports Uninvestigated Several top White House spokespersons also weighed in. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt simply called the Post "pathetic," and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said: "They can't stand that President Trump's strong border policies have led to a DECREASE in fentanyl coming into the U.S." Abigail Jackson, another White House spokeswoman, told Fox News Digital that "the drop in fentanyl seizures at the border is only a mystery to Washington Post reporters suffering from Trump-Derangement Syndrome." "As of March, fentanyl traffic at the Southern Border had fallen by more than half from the same time last year – while Joe Biden's open border was still terrorizing America," said Jackson. "Everyone else knows the simple truth: President Trump closed our border to illegal drug traffickers and Americans are safer because of it." The Washington Post did not immediately respond to a request by Fox News Digital for article source: Liberal news outlet mocked for reporting on 'mysterious' drop in fentanyl flowing across border

Jonathan Joss escorted out of ‘King of the Hill' panel days before murder: report
Jonathan Joss was allegedly escorted out of a TV festival after expressing disappointment in not being asked to be part of the 'King of the Hill' panel. The actor, who voiced John Redcorn in the Fox animated series, was fatally shot on Sunday, June 1, following a heated altercation in Texas. He was 59. Advertisement 8 Jonathan Joss voiced John Redcorn in 'King of the Hill.' Facebook/Jonathan Joss The Post confirmed the suspect, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He is currently behind bars, with his bond set at $200K. However, days before the argument that allegedly led to his death, Joss was removed from a theater by security during the 'King of the Hill' panel at the ATX TV Festival, eyewitnesses told People. Advertisement The alleged incident — which was caught on camera by a fan — happened at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, on Friday, May 30, with insiders telling the outlet that Joss, who was in the crowd, walked up to a microphone that was supposed to be used for the Q&A portion of the event and began to speak before it was time for the audience to interact with those on the panel. 'It seemed he did get a little emotional while he spoke, but mostly he was calm and he just needed to say his piece,' the insider told the outlet, noting that the show's co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels didn't appear worried. 8 Jonathan Joss' alleged killer poses for his mug shot.

Facebook/Tristan Kern de Gonzales 'I'm an actor,' Joss said. 'I see a mic, I use it. I see a wrong, I make it right. I take a breath, I want to breathe.' During his spiel, the actor revealed his home burned down three months before. While he told the audience it was 'because I'm gay,' Joss' neighbors told TMZ that he allegedly used a BBQ pit to heat his home after his power was shut off. Advertisement 8 Jonathan Joss' husband claimed the shooting was a hate crime. Facebook/Jonathan Joss Later in the video, one of the creators shared with the audience that Joss played John Redcorn on 'King of the Hill' and was returning for the revival. As the audience clapped, Joss began walking toward the stage and across the front row, which is when the video ends. However, the eyewitness claimed that security quickly approached him and escorted him out of the theater. 8 However, law enforcement told The Post that no evidence of a hate crime has been uncovered. Facebook/Dale Bracey 8 His husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, released a lengthy statement about the actor's death. Jonathan Joss Facebook 'As Joss moved away from the mic to go back to his seat, that's when security told him he had to leave and he exited the theater calmly and cooperatively,' the onlooker claimed, adding that the panel allegedly got 'back on track' after Joss' exit. The Post reached out to a spokesperson for the ATX Festival for comment. Advertisement Joss was shot and killed two days after the festival, with neighbors claiming he returned to his burned-down home to collect a victim's fire fund check. 8 Jonathan Joss' neighbor has been arrested and charged with murder. Facebook/Jonathan Joss Once he arrived, he stumbled upon the skeleton of one of his beloved dogs that died in the blaze, and it reportedly sent him into a rage. Witnesses told TMZ that he began shouting at anyone in his path, including Alvarez Ceja, who allegedly got in a vehicle, fired several shots at Joss, and fled the scene. Advertisement He was arrested roughly a block from the shooting. Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, spoke out following his shocking death. 'This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw,' Gonzales said in a Facebook post, recalling finding their dead dog's remains. 'While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.' While Joss' husband claimed the shooting was a hate crime, law enforcement told The Post that no evidence was found to support those accusations. Advertisement A GoFundMe was started for Joss earlier this year after the fire, showing that $10,721 in donations were collected to help him recoup what he lost. The fundraiser page also revealed that his dad had built the home for his mother in 1957, and three of his dogs died in the blaze. Besides voicing John Redcorn on 'King of the Hill,' Joss also starred as Chief Ken Hotate in 'Parks and Recreation' and appeared in shows like 'Ray Donovan' and 'Friday Night Lights.'

Blake Lively makes shock move in Justin Baldoni legal battle
The twists and turns continue. Blake Lively, 37, is trying to abandon her infliction of emotional distress claims against Justin Baldoni, according to new legal documents obtained by The Post. Lively, who previously accused Baldoni, 41, of both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress in a December 2024 lawsuit, attempted to withdraw the allegations on Monday after Baldoni's legal team sought to obtain her medical records. 7 Blake Lively is trying to abandon her infliction of emotional distress claims against Justin Baldoni GC Images 7 Lively tried to abandon her emotional distress claims against Baldoni after his legal team sought her medical records. Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock 'Instead of complying with the Medical RFPs, Ms. Lively's counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms. Lively is withdrawing her IED Claims,' Baldoni's team responded in a filing viewed by The Post. 'However, Ms. Lively has refused the Wayfarer Parties' reasonable request that the withdrawal of such claims be with prejudice.' 'She is only willing to withdraw her claims without prejudice,' it continued. 'In other words, Ms. Lively wants to simultaneously: (a) refuse to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress and/or that the Wayfarer Parties were the cause; and (b) maintain the right to re-file her IED Claims at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed.' The filing, which was addressed to Judge Lewis Liman of the Southern District of New York and signed by Baldoni attorney Kevin Fritz, argued that Lively 'cannot have it both ways.' 7 Lively filed a second lawsuit against Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and others in December 2024. GC Images 'If Ms. Lively wants to withdraw her frivolous IED Claims, the Wayfarer Parties are entitled to a dismissal with prejudice to ensure they will not be re-filed,' the filing read. 'If Ms. Lively is unwilling to stipulate to the dismissal of her IED Claims with prejudice, then the Wayfarer Parties will continue to defend against them,' it added, 'and she must produce her medical information and documents as set forth herein.' In December 2024, the former 'Gossip Girl' star accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her on the set of 'It Ends With Us' and then launched a 'coordinated effort to destroy her reputation.' 7 Baldoni has denied all of Lively's allegations. Adela Loconte/Shutterstock Lively's infliction of emotional distress claims against Baldoni were two of the allegations she waged against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director when she filed her lawsuit against him, Wayfarer Studios and others later that month. She alleged that he caused her to suffer 'severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment, belittlement, frustration and mental anguish' in addition to lost wages. But Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios' attorneys have argued that Lively 'waived any doctor-patient privilege' when she claimed to have suffered 'physical and emotional injuries' at the hands of Baldoni and the studio. 7 Baldoni countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million in January. REUTERS 'By alleging that she suffered physical and emotional injuries, Ms. Lively has placed her physical and mental condition at issue and, in turn, must produce relevant information and documents,' Fritz wrote. 'In other words,' he added, 'Ms. Lively has waived any doctor-patient privilege.' Judge Liman and the Southern District of New York must now decide whether Lively's infliction of emotional distress claims will be dismissed with or without prejudice or if the actress must turn over the mental health information sought by the opposing counsel. 7 Lively and Baldoni in a scene from 'It Ends With Us.' ©Sony Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Once again, this is a routine part of the litigation process that is being used as a press stunt,' Lively's lawyers told TMZ on Monday. 'We are doing what trial lawyers do: preparing our case for trial by streamlining and focusing it; they are doing what they do: desperately seeking another tired round of tabloid coverage.' 'The Baldoni-Wayfarer strategy of filing retaliatory claims has exposed them to expansive new damages claims under California law, rendering certain of Ms. Lively's original claims no longer necessary,' they continued. 'Ms. Lively continues to allege emotional distress, as part of numerous other claims in her lawsuit, such as sexual harassment and retaliation, and massive additional compensatory damages on all of her claims,' the actress' attorneys concluded. 7 Lively and Baldoni shooting a scene for 'It Ends With Us' in January 2024. GC Images Baldoni has denied all of Lively's allegations against him. He also countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, 48, for $400 million in January for alleged defamation and extortion – accusations they have also denied. A trial date is scheduled for March 2026.
