Nick Galante had his wife of three-plus years, Samantha Egues, served with divorce papers on May 17, sources revealed.

'Nick is ready to move on and put this entire chapter of his life behind him,' said one of the two-timed husband's close friends. 'The trust there is lost, which is sad for their [two] kids. Frankly, I can't really blame him for [pursuing] the divorce, because he's still fairly young.'
Jaw-dropping video of the profanity-laced castigation was shared online, and has been seen at least 10 million times across multiple social media platforms.
'The video [of the confrontation] going viral didn't help,' the friend added. 'There's really no coming back from that, because it's going to [live] forever online. It's sad for those kids.'
4 The video has been seen millions of times.

A microphone-wielding Galante addressed his party guests with his realtor wife by his side.
'I f–king know everything,' Galante says in the footage. 'That's right, b–ch, I know everything. I know all about the Plan B pills you had to take, you filthy f–king whore.
'Don't act like you don't f–king know,' he told his shrugging wife.
4 The estranged couple remain under the same roof for now.

But reconciliation doesn't appear to be in the cards.
'You don't confront your wife in front of every single person you know like that unless you're certain in your heart you're done [with her],' one of the sources told The Post this week. 'There are lots of lessons to be learned here.'
The couple has not responded to repeated requests for comment.

Trisha Paytas's Response To Baby Theories Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The YouTuber Trisha Paytas has responded after the social media was flooded with viral videos about the so-called Trisha Paytas baby theory. Paytas' video has already been viewed more than six million times. Newsweek has contacted Paytas for comment. What Is The Trisha Paytas Baby Theory? The original social media theory emerged in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. Trisha Paytas poses at The Entertainment Community Fund Opening Night of "Trisha Paytas' Big Broadway Dream" on Broadway at The St. James Theater on February 3, 2025, in New York City. Trisha Paytas poses at The Entertainment Community Fund Opening Night of "Trisha Paytas' Big Broadway Dream" on Broadway at The St. James Theater on February 3, 2025, in New York the time, social media users took note that in the hours that preceded the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Paytas—a nonbinary YouTube sensation—had announced that they had gone into labor with their first child. Then, social media users decided that Paytas' child was the reincarnation of the monarch. This theory has only continued gaining traction over the years. When Paytas announced their third pregnancy, it coincided with the announcement that Pope Francis had died, sparking theories that their child would be the reincarnation of the pope. Paytas, addressing the theory on her podcast at the time, said, "I just don't get it." Then, the theory entered a new era when Paytas announced that their third child had been born. Paytas announced the birth of their son, Aquaman Moses, on July 12, 2025. The announcement coincided with news of the death of heavy metal legend and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, leading social media users to believe that Paytas' new baby is the reincarnation of Osbourne. What To Know On July 28, Paytas shared a video on TikTok addressing the rumors. The video has the text overlay "What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won't stop with the reincarnation conspiracies," and is set to the song "Crazy Train," Osbourne's debut solo single, which was released in 1987. The TikTok is captioned, "my baby is just a baby y'all," and as of press time, has been liked over a million times. Paytas shares their children with Moses Hacmon. The two welcomed a daughter named Malibu Barbie, who was born in 2022. They later welcomed their second child, a daughter named Elvis, on May 24, 2024. Their third child, Aquaman Moses, was born on July 12, 2025. Paytas announced his birth in an Instagram post on July 22. What People Are Saying Indigo Stafford, the entertainment journalist who runs the pop culture news page IndigoReports, previously told Newsweek: " I think the internet is so obsessed with this theory because of how invested we are in Trisha Paytas as fans. She has become an internet sensation and almost a head of state for the chronically online (people who consume a lot of social media). She is known for being her real, raw, and authentic self online. And people love her unfiltered sense of dark humour. And that's ultimately what the Trisha Paytas baby conspiracy is! It's a bit of online dark humour that's possibly gone too far, but that brings us some light relief in uncertain times – just like Trisha does." What's Next Paytas recently shared on her podcast, Just Trish, that she will not be having more children.

NFL employee Craig Clementi was warning colleagues when he was shot by Shane Tamura in NYC shooting
A staffer at the NFL's headquarters in Manhattan was struck by a bullet during Monday's shooting that killed four people, and continued to warn colleagues to evacuate the building while being transported in an ambulance, according to The Athletic. Craig Clementi, who works in the league's finance department, reportedly had been calling other NFL employees to warn them to avoid the building and escape, when a bullet pierced him in the back. The report notes, 'there is a belief' the bullet ricocheted before striking Clementi, who is said to have just welcomed a new baby. 4 The scene outside the Midtown Manhattan building. AFP via Getty Images NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told employees Monday in a letter that a staffer had been 'seriously injured' in the fatal event, but did not identify the employee beyond saying the individual is male. 'He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family,' Goodell wrote in the message viewed by The Post, while adding 'all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for.' Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old Las Vegas resident, entered the 345 Park Avenue skyscraper that hosts the NFL and Blackstone, a financial firm, around 6:30 p.m. ET and killed four people, including a 36-year-old married police officer. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Monday night that Tamura killed officer Didarul Islam before slaying a woman while he continued 'spraying' the lobby with bullets. 4 Shane Devon Tamura during his high school football days. DailyNews PrepSports A man was shot in the lobby and survived, although it has not been confirmed if it was Clementi. Taura eventually traveled to the 33rd floor, well above the league's offices on the fifth through eighth floors, where he died by suicide by shooting himself in the chest. Here is the latest on the NYC mass shooting: The Post exclusively reported that Tamura had a note in his pocket, in which he lashed out at the NFL and claimed he had CTE, while mentioning former Steeler Terry Long, who killed himself after drinking antifreeze and later was diagnosed with CTE. Tamura played high school football in California but it is not believed that he played beyond that level. 4 Tamura outside of the building with a gun. Obtained by NY Post 'Terry Long, football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze,' the note stated, sources told The Post. 'You can't go against the NFL, they'll squash you.' 'Please study brain for CTE. I'm sorry. The league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits. They failed us.' 4 Former Steeler Terry Long. Getty Images New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' that there is belief Tamura may have been targeting the NFL office in the building. Tisch said Monday that police were still investigating the motive for targeting the Midtown building. 'We have reason to believe that he was focused on the NFL agency that was located in the building,' Adams said on 'Morning Joe,' according to an MSNBC transcript. 'And we're going to continue to investigate with our federal partners to ensure that we can find a reason and identify of any other weapons. We found an additional weapon in the car that was parked outside at this time.'

Ex-Trump staffer Hope Hicks to join Megyn Kelly's media company as COO
Hope Hicks, a former Trump staffer, is set to join ex-Fox News host Megyn Kelly for a new media venture. Megyn Kelly is tapping a well-known ex-Trump official for her growing media business. Kelly, 54, once a mainstay on cable news, has since launched her own podcast and YouTube show, following a tumultuous exit from the traditional format. Now she's creating her own brand with Devil May Care Media, which will serve as home to the "Megyn Kelly Show" and others, and to do it, she's bringing on Hope Hicks. Kelly first shared the news with the New York Post, later confirming it with a post on X. Hicks, 36, who served as communications director during President Donald Trump's first term and later as an executive at Fox Corp., will take on the role of chief operating officer, helping grow the business in an ever-evolving media landscape. Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher get candid on cancel culture: 'Even liberals hate this' "Hope Hicks is exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me – strong, smart, strategic and the embodiment of class and poise," Kelly said in a statement to the Post. "She's at the top of a growing media conglomerate and there's no limit to where she can take it; my best-in-the-business staff and I are thrilled to have her on board." Hicks, who has been working in corporate consulting since her exit from the White House, shared in Kelly's excitement over the partnership. "Megyn has used her talent, integrity, and unparalleled credibility to create content unlike anything else available today," Hicks told The Post. "I am incredibly humbled and thrilled to be joining Megyn and her team in continuing to build what is undoubtedly a flourishing business." USA TODAY has reached out to Devil May Care Media for comment. Once one of Trump's closest advisors, Hicks began working in the White House in 2017 and filled various roles intermittently before exiting the administration permanently following his loss in the 2020 presidential election and the subsequent campaign to overturn the election results. Now she is joining forces with Kelly, an intermittent subject of Trump's ire, who in recent years generated a massive audience outside of traditional media with her daily news podcast and commentary show. A time-honored conservative commentator, Kelly left Fox News in 2017 after more than a decade, moving to NBC, much to the chagrin of liberal viewers, and exiting that network just a year later following controversial on-air remarks she made defending the use of blackface. She has now proved a case-study for new media, however, bringing her personal brand and audience with her to launch a popular podcast and a burgeoning conservative media company.
