Phypers, who wed Richards in 2018, denied the allegations of physical abuse as "completely false and deeply hurtful" in a statement to PEOPLE.

Memphis guard Sincere Parker arrested on assault charge after girlfriend says he choked her
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis guard Sincere Parker was arrested Saturday on an aggravated assault charge for an attack on his girlfriend, who told police that he choked her and hit her, according to court documents. The woman told police that the attack occurred on May 27 at the Memphis apartment the couple shared. She reported that Parker pushed her, slapped her in the face and choked her, leaving her bruised and bloodied, according to a police report. The woman also told police that Parker broke her cellphone because he didn't want her to have the digital key to the apartment. A warrant for Parker's arrest was issued Friday and the 22-year-old was taken into custody Saturday. An arraignment was scheduled for Monday on charges of felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor vandalism. It was not immediately clear whether Parker had an attorney.

CNN analyst blasts Dem lawmakers for demanding answers on Colbert's cancellation
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig ripped Democratic lawmakers this week for trying to get answers on CBS's Thursday announcement it will be canceling "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in 2026. "The move, as you can hear, drew surprise and anger from his audience and from Democratic lawmakers too, who are now demanding answers," CNN's Abby Phillip said. Phillip then quoted a statement from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on the announcement from the senator's X feed that said "CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons." Phillip brought in Honig, who said that Democrats should move on. "Two initial reactions to this," Honig said. "Number one, what on earth is Congress doing, wasting their time on this? CBS is a private industry. If they want to give AOC the show, God bless them." "They're private," he continued. "That's First Amendment, Congress. If Democrats, if Elizabeth Warren, they go down this road, what an utter waste." CNN contributor Scott Jennings then challenged Honig, asking him why he thinks Democratic lawmakers are upset that the show is being canceled. "You don't know why they're mad about it," Jennings asked Honig. "Well, who was even on the show tonight? Adam Schiff. These shows, Colbert and the rest of them have become nothing but anti-Trump fever swap porn along with Dem guests every single night." Phillip acknowledged Jennings' stance, but then said she thinks Warren is concerned that the cancellation is due to ongoing corruption. On July 1, Paramount Global and CBS agreed to pay Trump a sum that could reach at least $30 million to settle the president's election interference lawsuit against the network.
