Conor McGregor And Azealia Banks Controversy

In a series of social media posts, Banks shared screenshots of her chat with McGregor and alleged that not only did the wrestler send unsolicited explicit pictures but also threatened Banks if she spoke out about it.
'How you gonna send a b***h some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. Ngga do you know who the f**k I am? This is HARAM," Banks wrote.

'Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d**k then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland? ' asking McGregor to 'use some f*****g sunscreen.'
As per reports, McGregor later deleted the images he sent to Banks and unfollowed her on social media. She has not said anything about pursuing legal action against the wrestler.
Allegations of sexual harassment against McGregor are not new. Notably, he had to pay $2,33,326 in fines to a woman who accused him of rape in Ireland. He also faces an ongoing case in the United States for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

BTS Jungkook's Insta handle sparks dating frenzy with aespa's Winter: Is he romancing Shah Rukh Khan and Bobby Deol too?
It seems like the entire online world holds its breath, desperately hoping for a glimpse into the romantic life of the global sensation and BTS' golden maknae, Jeon Jungkook! The rumour mill is once again in overdrive, churning out fresh speculation about a potential romance between Jungkook and aespa's Winter. The latest spark? None other than Jungkook's brand-new, highly anticipated Instagram account and its cryptic handle. Earlier in July, these two idols found themselves unwillingly thrust into the spotlight of dating speculation. Eager netizens - acting as amateur detectives - tried to piece together 'evidence' that might suggest a secret relationship. These claims, however, were largely brushed aside as nothing more than baseless fantasy. The mystery of @mnijungkook However, the conversation reignited on July 15 when fans were surprised to discover that BTS members were suddenly following a mysterious new Instagram account: @mnijungkook. Despite the account having no posts, followers quickly assumed it was Jungkook's, given the group's long-standing tradition of only following each other on social media. Later when he went live on Instagram with V aka Kim Taehyung and the leader of BTS - RM aka Kim Namjoon, it was confirmed that it truly is Jungkook's new Instagram account. The "@imjungkook" connection to aespa's Winter What truly drew attention was the username itself. Some fans claimed that "mni" in "@mnijungkook" could be a subtle reference to Winter's real name, Minjeong, interpreting it as "MinJungkook." mnijungkook = minjungkook = minjung = minjeong This quickly fueled renewed speculation about a romantic involvement between the two idols. Further adding to the fire, fans uncovered that the account was actually created months ago, with its original handle reportedly being @imjungkook, strikingly similar to Winter's Instagram handle @imwinter. Fan reactions: Questioning the 'evidence' Many ARMYs took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share various Instagram accounts that start with "im," including those of many Korean stars and even Indian actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Bobby Deol. They humorously questioned if Jungkook was dating all of them as well, highlighting the flimsy nature of the 'evidence' being presented. by this logic winter is also dating bobby deol?? Another day, another wild moment on K-pop community "Don't put 'iam' in your handle, otherwise, you guys are dating."😭😂 Guys Jungkook is also dating srk Jungkook sets the record straight Not so happily for the potential shippers, it didn't take long for Jungkook himself to step in and put an end to the frantic chatter. During a live broadcast, he calmly confirmed that @mnijungkook is, in fact, his personal account. He also unveiled the true meaning behind the handle and as it turns out, there's no hidden romance, no cryptic love message. It just stands for "My Name Is Jungkook" - that's it and the mystery, it seems, was far simpler than anyone imagined. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

Jared Goff and wife Christen Harper celebrates birth of baby girl — Meet Romy Isabelle Goff
Jared Goff and wife Christen Harper welcome baby girl (Getty Images) Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is entering a new and more personal chapter of his life — fatherhood. Goff and his wife, Christen Harper, joyfully welcomed their first child, a daughter named Romy Isabelle Goff. The couple shared the heartwarming news on Instagram with a series of black-and-white photographs, showcasing tender family moments. Their announcement, just weeks before the start of NFL training camp, has captured the attention of both fans and fellow NFL families. Jared Goff's fatherhood journey begins as wife Christen Harper delivers baby girl ahead of NFL season In a coordinated Instagram post on Tuesday, Jared and Christen introduced baby Romy to the world. The post included intimate moments — a tiny newborn hand clutching Christen's finger, Jared cradling his daughter, and the new family of three sharing a peaceful moment in bed. Jared proudly wore a "Girl Dad" hat, already embracing his new role. Christen, overcome with emotion, shared in her Instagram Story, "Heart is bursting into a million pieces!!!!!" The background song she chose, 'Green Eyes' by Coldplay, subtly hinted at one of Romy's features, adding an extra personal touch to the reveal. Although they kept the exact birth date under wraps, the couple's joy was unmistakable. NFL WAGs and friends rushed to the comments with congratulatory notes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

Jared proposed in 2022 during a getaway with friends, and the two tied the knot in a scenic Ojai, California wedding on June 22, 2024. Just months later, their dream of starting a family became reality. Back in February, the pair revealed to PEOPLE during the NFL Honors that they were expecting. Jared shared, 'I'm looking forward to becoming a dad,' while Christen added, 'We're just excited to enjoy this special time together and just soak up every second.' Goff had long envisioned himself as a father. 'I've always dreamt of becoming a dad. Now that it's real, I know it'll add a new perspective to life, and it'll be great,' he told PEOPLE. As the NFL season looms, Goff has just enough time to enjoy his first days of fatherhood before returning to the field, where he'll once again balance the roles of leader — both on the gridiron and now, at home.
