Create Account Emmy-winning Detroit television reporter Hank Winchester, co-host of The Morning After podcast, returned to the show on Monday after being cleared in the investigation that stemmed from allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances to a man during a massage in June. In his return to the mic, Winchester recalled taking polygraph tests and explained that it was an 'emotionally exhausting process' amid a 'very detailed' investigation. 'There was an allegation that was made against me by someone and police have a responsibility in these situations to investigate allegations,' said Winchester, per the New York Post . The reporter had his Beverly Hills home searched by police executing a search warrant related to the investigation on June 13. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'But they should also take the time to investigate the person making the allegations. It is kind of one of the lessons I've learned in all of this. And as a result of some action that was taken by the local law enforcement, there was a local media report that was done by one station in particular and that really kind of spread like wildfire,' he said. Winchester was placed on administrative leave with Local 4 News, Detroit's NBC affiliate. He did not name the local news report. Fox2 Detroit — among other local news outlets that reported the allegations — said at the time that Winchester studied massage therapy recently. It's not clear whether he was the one being massaged or serving as the masseuse. 'As a result, it led to a very detailed and necessary investigation,' Winchester said. 'I say necessary because if it's going to happen, I want to know that investigators had every opportunity to look at everything they needed to, which they did, and determine that in this case that allegation was unfounded, it was baseless, it was defamatory. And that was the opportunity now for my attorneys to come out … but I'm very thankful for that. And I'm very thankful to be on the other side of this — 100% clear. No charges. The evidence spoke for itself. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'But I will tell you it was an emotionally exhausting process as my attorneys revealed. I took two polygraph tests and passed them with flying colours and there was no detection of any deception. And I did that voluntarily because it was important for me to make sure the investigators had everything they needed. That's pretty much all I can say about it … It just essentially comes down to not me saying thank you.' Winchester is married to Oakland County Circuit Judge Jacob Cunningham. They share a seven-year-old daughter, Emma. Read More 'This was the worst nine weeks of my entire life,' he said. 'And I've lost both my parents, I've had testicular cancer, I've gone through a divorce. I've had s–t. Nothing compared to this because every aspect of your life is touched.' Kelly Stafford — the wife of Rams quarterback and Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford — recalled being worried about her co-host during the investigation. 'I do hope you felt how much you're cared about and loved because you are and it's because of the person you are Hank,' Kelly said. 'It was honestly hard because for a minute there I felt like I couldn't get a hold of you … I'm so f—ing glad right now. I knew this was going to be the end result but damn did it take awhile to get here but aren't we glad that it's finally f—ing here.'

Fringe Review: A Canadian Explains Eurovision to Other Canadians
Article content A Canadian Explains Eurovision to Other Canadians 4 stars out of 5 Stage 16 — Campus St. Jean (8406 Rue Marie-Anne Gaboury) On the surface, this one-man show is exactly what the name implies: a Canadian man stood on stage and, with the help of mostly co-operative visual aids, gave a brief oral history of the world's most popular singing competition. But under that surface, creator Matti McLean shares witty and earnest life stories broken up by renditions of famous Eurovision songs — after warning the audience that he's 'not a singer.' The playbill describes this show as 'part stand-up, part TED Talk, part glitter-fuelled existential crisis.' I found it to be so much more, a sincere and brutally vulnerable performance. Despite being a straight cis man with no previous knowledge of Eurovision, McLean's experiences as the gay son of a pastor who was actively discouraged by his parents and peers from sharing his voice, his truth, were incredibly relatable. While there are certainly many fun facts about Eurovision, this is more a tale of personal perseverance. McLean didn't let some minor, unfortunate technical errors stop him, gracefully pivoting to conversing with his audience until the issue was worked out. Will I remember the songs he sang, or the historical Eurovision facts I learned? Probably not. But will remember McLean's passion for song, for dance, and for finding a place to belong.

TIFF reverses course, announces it will now screen controversial October 7 film
After two days of intense controversy, the Toronto International Film Festival has not only reversed its decision to disinvite an October 7 documentary, but has made it an official festival selection. Article content Earlier this week, the festival outraged the filmmakers and Jewish groups when it rescinded an invitation for The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue to screen at this year's festival, which kicks off Sept. 4. Article content Article content Article content Please see the following statement from TIFF and the Filmmaker regarding The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue. — TIFF (@TIFF_NET) August 15, 2025 Article content Article content The film, produced by Melbar Entertainment Group and directed by Avrich, a Canadian, tells the story of retired Israel Defence Forces Gen. Noam Tibon, who raced from Tel Aviv to Kibbutz Nahal Oz near Gaza on October 7 to save his son Amir's family. Article content Article content TIFF had originally said the filmmakers did not secure 'legal clearance of all footage,' which was among the conditions the festival requested to mitigate 'known risks around the screening of a film about highly sensitive subject matter, including potential threat of significant disruption.' Article content The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said in a statement Thursday that TIFF 'ultimately made the right call.' Article content 'Tens of thousands of Canadians — including civic leaders, elected officials, artists and people from all backgrounds—spoke out against TIFF's shameful decision to cave to extremist pressure. Their voices were heard,' CIJA said. 'Let's make it the most-watched film at TIFF and, eventually, on screens across the country. Everyone needs to see the real cost of unchecked extremism—and the bravery of those who stand in defence of human life and our shared values.'
