The Bachelorette star Timm Hanly reveals his completely collapsed septum and the post-surgery practice that made him cry
Timm Hanly has undergone surgery after his septum completely collapsed.
The Bachelorette star, 33, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a picture showing the right nostril of his nose completely closed.
While it is not yet known how his nostril collapsed, there are several ways it can occur, including a deviated septum weakening the valve, structurally weak nasal cartilages or direct trauma to the nose.
Timm underwent a septoplasty - a surgery that straightens the nasal septum - to reconstruct the nostril.
The reality star, who was a fan favourite on Angie Kent 's season of the dating show, posted a follow-up video to show his nose post-surgery.

In the clip, Timm was seen squirting saline solution up his nose, a common practice after septoplasties to keep the nasal passages moist.
'POV: Day 1 septoplasty,' he captioned the post, which showed the shirtless star teary-eyed as he attempted the uncomfortable recovery measure.
Timm made headlines last year after he was an unexpected hit in the US, charming his way into American hearts during a holiday in West Hollywood.
In June 2024, the Aussie star went viral after doing a vox pop TikTok interview with American content creator Chris Stanley as he attended a gay pride parade.
Having just 'stumbled across' the festival with his wife Briana De La Motte and their nine-month-old daughter Harper, Timm made quite the impression on viewers.
'We're just here from Australia. It's our second day here. Second day in America and we just stumbled across [the parade] and I'm just here for the vibes,' Timm said.
'We love it. We absolutely love it,' he added, before Chris asked: 'Do you think the gays can throw a good party?'
Timm promptly responded: 'F**ken' oath. One hundred per cent. No one does it better really.'
Chris then asked: 'How does it feel if a gay guy is hitting on you?'
'Oh, I love this. Let's say I'm walking down the street and a gay guy is, like, looking at me [checking me out]. That's as good as a girl looking at me,' Timm said.
'That counts. That's as good for my ego as a hot chick looking at me,' he added.
Newfound fans from the US flocked to the comments of the video to swoon over the hunky father-of-one.
'More men like him please,' Chris wrote in the caption of the clip.
Another person said: 'That's a healthy, secure and proud masculinity', while another said Timm had the 'biggest, fattest, longest d**k energy!'
'Australians are so cool and friendly,' a third added.
Meanwhile, Timm and wife Briana welcomed their daughter Harper on August 31 2023, announcing the news to Instagram alongside footage of their bundle of joy.
The couple dated on and off for six years before his stint on Angie Kent's season of The Bachelorette in 2019, where he placed runner-up to Carlin Sterritt.
He went on to appear in Bachelor in Paradise in 2020, where he struck up a romance with Brittany Hockley in Fiji.
The pair left the show as a couple after just a few episodes but broke up not long after returning to Australia.
Timm and Briana went public with their newly rekindled romance soon after Bachelor in Paradise's finale aired on TV.

Judge threatens to remove Sean ‘Diddy' Combs from court over facial gestures
The judge in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs threatened to remove the music mogul from court for looking and nodding at the jury during testimony on Thursday. During a lunch break after the jury left the room on Thursday, Judge Arun Subramanian said that he saw Combs looking at the jury and 'nodding vigorously' during the cross-examination of Bryana Bongolan, a former graphic designer for Combs and a longtime friend of Combs's former girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura. The judge warned Combs's lawyers that if he saw it again, it 'could result in the exclusion of your client from the courtroom'. 'There should be no efforts whatsoever to have an interaction with this jury,' the judge added. Combs's lawyer said that it would not happen again. Earlier on Thursday, Bongolan resumed the testimony she began on Wednesday. Bongolan previously testified about her friendship with Ventura and described an alleged incident from 2016 in which she says that Combs dangled her from the balcony of Ventura's 17th-floor apartment in Los Angeles for 10 to 15 seconds, before throwing her on to some balcony furniture. She testified that the incident left her bruised and emotionally scarred and that she experiences nightmares and paranoia. During cross-examination, Combs's lawyers challenged Bongolan's credibility, citing inconsistencies between her current testimony and prior statements she gave regarding the alleged balcony incident. On Thursday morning, Combs's lawyers pressed her on the timeline. They claimed that the alleged balcony incident could not have occurred when she alleged because Combs was performing on the east coast for much of September 2016. Before concluding the cross-examination, Combs's lawyer suggested that Bongolan was lying about the balcony incident and the injuries. 'I can't agree with you,' Bongolan responded, adding that she could not recall the exact date of the alleged incident, but she 'will never forget him holding me on that balcony'. Another former girlfriend of Combs, who alleges she was abused and made to participate in drug-fueled sex sessions known as 'freak-offs', is also expected to be called to the stand on Thursday. Testifying under the pseudonym 'Jane', the woman has been described by prosecutors as a single mother who began dating Combs in 2020. Her testimony is expected to be similar to that of Ventura, Combs's former longtime girlfriend, who testified during the first week of the trial. Ventura, who dated Combs on and off from 2007 to 2018, told jurors last month that she was subjected to years of physical and emotional abuse during the relationship. She alleged she was coerced, through violence, and blackmail, into taking part in the so-called freak-offs which she said were orchestrated and directed by Combs and involved drugs and male sex workers. During cross-examination, Combs's attorneys sought to portray Ventura as a willing participant in the freak-offs, framing the encounters as part of a 'swingers lifestyle'. Now in its fourth week, the trial has featured graphic and emotional testimony from several witnesses. To date, more than 16 witnesses have testified, including the singer Dawn Richard, three of Combs's former assistants, Ventura's mother, and rapper Scott Mescudi, also known as 'Kid Cudi'. Combs, 55, was arrested in September 2024 and faces federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts. Prosecutors allege that Combs ran a criminal enterprise since at least 2004 that engaged in or attempted to engage in crimes including sex trafficking, kidnapping, forced labor, arson, bribery, enticement to engage in prostitution and obstruction of justice, with the help of his associates and employees. While Combs's lawyers have acknowledged his history of domestic violence, they argue that the women participated in the freak-offs consensually and they maintain that Combs is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering, or of operating a criminal enterprise. Prosecutors have said that they may rest their case next week, with the defense expected to begin calling its own witnesses soon after. However, Combs's lawyers have signaled that their presentation may take longer than anticipated, potentially extending the trial into early July. If convicted on all counts, Combs could face life in prison. The Associated Press contributed reporting In the US, the domestic violence hotline is 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). In the UK, call the national domestic abuse helpline on 0808 2000 247, or visit Women's Aid. In Australia, the national family violence counselling service is on 1800 737 732.

Women in West Virginia who miscarry could face criminal charges, according to prosecutor
Women in West Virginia could face criminal charges if they miscarry, a county prosecutor told a local news outlet last week, urging women who miscarry to contact law enforcement. 'The kind of criminal jeopardy you face is going to depend on a lot of factors,' Raleigh county prosecuting attorney Tom Truman told the outlet WVNS 59News in comments reported on Friday. 'What was your intent? What did you do? How late were you in your pregnancy? Were you trying to hide something, were you just so emotionally distraught you couldn't do anything else?' He added: 'If you were relieved, and you had been telling people, 'I'd rather get ran over by a bus than have this baby,' that may play into law enforcement's thinking, too.' Truman said he was personally opposed to prosecuting women who miscarry, but other law enforcement officials in West Virginia had said they would be willing to do so under laws that dictate the disposal of human remains. Although West Virginia bans virtually all abortions, its ban – like other abortion bans in the US – does not penalize abortion patients but instead people who provide the procedure. To protect themselves, Truman suggested that women call law enforcement after they have a miscarriage. 'Call your doctor. Call law enforcement, or 911, and just say, 'I miscarried. I want you to know,'' Truman said. The wave of state-level abortion bans that followed the 2022 overturning of Roe v Wade sparked fears among women and abortion supporters that people who miscarry could face charges over their handling of fetal remains. As abortions and miscarriages – which are known in medical parlance as 'spontaneous abortions' – can look deeply similar to medical professionals, abortion bans can incentivize police to treat pregnancy losses like crime scenes. In 2023, a woman in Ohio was charged with felony abuse of a corpse after she miscarried into a toilet. A grand jury ultimately decided not to indict. Earlier this year, after a Georgia woman suffered a miscarriage and was found bleeding in a parking lot, police charged her with concealing the death of another person and throwing away or abandoning a dead body. Those charges were dropped. 'There is no one-size-fits-all way to handle fetal remains in these situations – in fact, doctors often tell women to simply miscarry at home,' Dana Sussman, senior vice-president of the reproductive-rights organization Pregnancy Justice, said in a statement issued after news of the Georgia case broke. 'No one is taught how to handle fetal remains, and police and prosecutors should not be weighing in on how women in this situation respond.'

Glamorous MAGA White House reporter makes shocking claim about DC's men
Glamorous MAGA White House reporter Natalie Winters gave a shocking explanation for why the women in the nation's capital can't seem to find good man. The co-host of Steve Bannon 's War Room, who was dubbed 'Washington's most-eligible bachelorette,' declared that the boys of the Beltway just aren't interested. 'I think most men are gay in DC - either out or closeted depending on whether they're Democrats or Republicans,' Winters, 24, told the The Times. The reporter went viral in January after sharing a celebratory post announcing she had been named White House correspondent, with many raging that she needed to dress more appropriately for the job. Winters said she made the discovery about DC's men while trying to help her friends research dates. 'Because I'm such a great investigative reporter, my girlfriends hit me up to investigate the guys they go on dates with,' she told the Times. 'The stuff I found out is insane.' Moreover, ladies on the prowl for a wealthy Washington tech bro will be disappointed, she explained, as they rarely ever come out to play. As for Winters herself, she's in search of a man 'who allows me to protect feminine energy in a world that is forcing me to be a girl boss,' she said. 'Perhaps, I have...' the journalist teased. So, where are DC's hottest looking for love? The fancy Waldorf Astoria hotel, where Winters met disgraced former Rep. Matt Gaetz. 'We hung out and became best buds,' she dished. 'So many memories here.' Winters even revealed that Trump and Gaetz - who the president originally tapped to serve as attorney general before the congressman bowed out of his scandalous past - are still friends behind the scenes. 'Yes, very good friends - and with his wife too,' she told the Times. Other hotspots for young and hot Republicans are Butterworth's - which has become the new home for the MAGA crowd - and Hawk N Dove, where Democrats and Republicans mingle together. As for Winters herself, she's in search of a man who allows her to 'protect feminine energy in a world that is forcing me to be a girl boss.' Since her mainstream debut in January, Winters has continued to be a disruptor in Washington, frankly telling a CNN reporter that traditional media has failed. When asked if she was a real reporter, she replied: 'I'm pretty sure the group of people in there spent, what was it, four years covering for someone who was essentially dead, and that's being charitable in my description. That's a President by the name Joe Biden. 'So to all those people who are apoplectic over having new media voices, you guys failed - and that's why we're here.' In April, she shared that had been denied membership into the prestigious National Press Club. 'I co-host one of the largest shows on the right, Presidents and Congressmen share my work and I have a White House Press pass,' she lamented at the time. Winters also been named as a favorite to be added Elon Musk's stable of mothers. Musk's baby momma, Ashley St. Clair, revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the billionaire pursued her and other women for impregnation, and asked her and their son to join his 'kid legion.'
