Another fan by the username @THEKingBuckeye wrote, 'He brought this on himself. We can all sit here and have a conversation about how fucking retarded this girl sounds but at the end of the day Ant had no business having unprotected s*x with this chick this was supposed to be a one off or a side chick at the most there's no reason you should be in this situation, but you did it to yourself.'
A third fan by the username @FYMITSQ wrote, 'Looking at your child like a cash grab is beyond loser shit, I don't care how rich the dude is. This h*e is a LOSER.'
Another fan by the username @uzinatorgxc wrote, 'For life, not until the kid is 18?? An apology from Ant for not being the perfect prey or what? + $500k? You'd think a 39 year old woman didn't know that unprotected s*x leads to pregnancy. I hope she loses this time like the loser she is.'
Ayesha Howard has alleged that Anthony Edwards 'does not' want anything to do with their daughter
While Anthony Edwards remains silent, his ex girlfriend Ayesha Howard has issued a statement.
As per US Weekly, Ayesha Howard said, 'I want to make it clear that my request for compensation was never tied to agreeing to any custody orders. I asked for compensation due to the substantial financial and reputational damages I've endured during this prolonged litigation with Anthony Edwards.'
Ayesha Howard has also accused Anthony Edwards of 'wanting nothing to do' with their child, even as the NBA star player is in another legal mess with a different woman.

Canadian man calls out Indian family for loud beach music. Internet divided
A Canadian man's public rant about an Indian family playing loud Punjabi music at a beach has ignited a heated conversation online about noise, culture, and double standards. The man, who goes by @truenorthlooper on Instagram and describes himself as a 'one-man band,' shared a video criticising the City of Barrie's enforcement of noise rules. He claimed local authorities had once stopped him from performing at the beach and even fined him for it, but seemed unbothered by other people 'blasting whatever kind of music they want.' In the clip, he stopped in front of a picnic setup with a speaker playing Punjabi tracks, pointedly noting that the family wasn't even around to enjoy it. 'These people are not even here, yet everyone within 150 feet has to listen to this. Great job, City of Barrie,' he said in a sarcastic tone. He also expressed frustration over what he saw as unfair treatment. 'Heaven forbid I play guitar and raise money for the Barrie Food Bank- that's a no-no. But yeah, come here, blast whatever music you want, and leave it playing while you're in the water. Everyone else just has to put up with it,' he added. The video, initially posted under the title 'The good, the bad and the ugly reality of the City of Barrie', resurfaced after being shared by a popular Canadian Instagram page. Reactions in the comments were split. Some viewers sided with him, saying loud music in public spaces is disruptive, while others accused him of targeting people unnecessarily and urged him to 'let others enjoy themselves.' A user commented, 'Just confront them about it? Or request for slightly lower volume? I don't understand, is it a new trend to come and cry to the internet as a full grown man? Cmon man. Find another spot, or request them. Weeping on the internet is not it. ' Another user wrote, 'Why are you complaining to social media? Go ask them to turn it down like an adult would.' 'Buy a private beach then buddy,' the third user advised. 'Common courtesy and space for others used to be a thing. I think the dude is on point for not disturbing other's peace and doing things considering ppl around you,' the fourth sided with the Canadian man. 'I would just shut it down. Some people don't know basic etiquette,' the fifth user wrote.

Meet Shah Rukh Khan's doppelganger with matching style, six-pack abs, lakhs in earnings
Bollywood is filled with celebrities, and so are their lookalikes. The latest to grab everyone's attention is Shah Rukh Khan's doppelgänger, who not only shares strikingly similar abs and physique but also mirrors his style and even mannerisms. What changed his life was an IPL match in Rajkot when fans surrounded him, mistaking him for Shah Rukh. Since then, the actor's doppelgänger has been attending parties, shows and other events, earning in lakhs reportedly. Shah Rukh Khan's popular doppelgänger is Ibrahim Qadri, who recently featured in Vogue India. Hailing from Junagadh, Gujarat, Ibrahim reportedly used to paint shop signs and walls. 'I must have been 14 or 15 when they first started saying it. His film Deewaana (1992) had just come out,' Ibrahim told the magazine. 'But I never took it seriously because family members always say things like that, don't they? It was only in 2017 when I went to watch an IPL match and the crowds went wild thinking I was Shah Rukh that I felt I could do something with it," he shared. Ibrahim reportedly charges up to Rs. 2.5 lakh for an event, such as Bollywood nights in bars and clubs or private Eid parties in Dubai. However, he sees his career as a craft that he needs to work on every day. 'I'd watched his films for years as a viewer, but in 2017, I began watching them to learn his gestures, expressions and dances. It took me a year to prepare myself," he shared. Not just his looks and mannerisms, Ibrahim also styles himself like King Khan. He revealed he hand-makes outfits and works out every day to maintain his look. 'I have no special diet,' he added, asserting his love for home-cooked food. Ibrahim is quite popular on social media as well. He has over 2 million followers on Instagram. His videos and photos often go viral from time to time, confusing fans. Despite his love for Shah Rukh, Ibrahim hopes to never run into the superstar. Reportedly, it would take away the excitement of his journey. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh was last seen in Dunki. His next release will be King, alongside Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.
