Woman Is Confident Her Chair Is Blue — But the Internet Has Other Plans

One TikTok user grabbed the internet's attention over the color of her chair. The saga began in early June when a now-viral video was shared by Kristin (@ which has now amassed over two million views. In the beginning of the clip, she asked the question that started it all: 'Is this chair gray or blue?" Kristin explained that she was asking because she was giving the chair away to someone, and the person thought the chair was gray while Kristin had always believed her chair was blue. "And she's like, 'Can you get more pictures? It's gray.' And I'm like, 'OK, but my couch and my chair have always been blue,' but now she's gaslighting me and I'm starting to believe it." The California resident then flips her phone camera to reveal the chair in question, leaving many users baffled at the sight of it. 'It's not only gray, it's very freaking gray,' one user said. 'I adjusted the screen brightness on my phone and everything trying my hardest to back you up, but sweet Moses that is a very gray chair,' said another user. Despite differing in opinion with the internet, Kristin continued to be in good spirits and joked about the debacle in videos. 'It can't be gray! It's not gray, is it?' she said as she laughed in a video posted after her viral video. Users also pointed out that a couch in the background of her original video matched the chair's color, leaving Kristin with another question: What other things in her house are gray? 'The couch is navy. The couch was never part of the question… the couch has always been dark blue!' she said in a follow-up video. She then introduces other items in her house that she thought were blue or gray, and TikTok users were quick to share their opinions. 'The rug is dark navy blue. But your couch and that blanket are 100% grey,' one user said. After a few days of realizations and laughs, Kristin sat down to take an online color blind test, though she emphasized she would go to a doctor before confirming anything. The test results suggested that she may be protan color blind, where she may have red-green color blindness. Though the realization was a shock, Kristin stayed in good spirits and has now asked viewers to help her pick a new couch. In the comments, one person thought up the scenario in which Kristin accidentally buys another gray couch. 'I'm checking the description this time,' Kristin replied with a laughing emoji.

Influencer Nara Smith, 23, and husband Lucky Blue expecting 4th baby

Nara Smith is expecting again. On Monday this week, the famous TikToker announced the news to millions of fans and followers with a cute video of her already visible growing baby bump while embracing her husband, runway model Lucky Blue Smith. She captioned her post, 'Our little surprise'. Take a look below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nara Smith (@naraaziza) Nara is already the mom of three kids—Rumble Honey (born 7 October 2020), Slim Easy (born 6 January 2022), and Whimsy Lou (born 8 April 2024)—and a stepmom to Lucky's daughter Stormi from a previous relationship. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nara Smith (@naraaziza) The news of her latest pregnancy has been met with mixed reactions from her fans, with most of them sharing beautiful congratulatory messages and well wishes. Nara first exploded on social media with her cooking content. She often created complex dishes and foods perfectly from scratch while appearing immaculately polished for the camera. Nara, who has garnered nearly 12 million followers and millions of likes on TikTok, lives in Germany. She previously shared that she was born in Bloemfontein but moved when she was three months old. Her mother is from Lesotho, and her father is German. Her career has not been without controversy, however. In 2024, she was accused of stealing content ideas from another South African influencer, Onezwa Mbola. Speaking out about it then, Onezwa wrote, 'The reason I'm taking a break is that for months, I have watched a very popular content creator use my ideas. She has continuously used my ideas to get views. That would be fine, except in SA, we don't get paid for views, and where she is [Germany], they are paid for views. She has been making money by stealing my content.' Nara later denied these claims, sharing that she comes up with most of her ideas and content herself. In the meantime, many fans have wondered whether her content may evolve to include more family moments now that her family is growing.

Christian music star Michael Tait admits to ‘double life' amid sexual assault, drug abuse allegations: ‘Sadly, largely true'

Grammy award-winning Christian rock singer Michael Tait admitted the drug abuse and sexual assault accusations against him are 'mostly true,' in his first public comments since the bombshell claims surfaced. Tait, the former frontman for Newsboys and DC Talk, said he was living a double life as he allegedly abused hardcore substances with younger men before making unwanted advances toward them, according to Christian media outlet The Roys Report. The 59-year-old addressed the accusations in an Instagram post titled, 'My Confession — June 10, 2025.' Advertisement 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true,' Tait wrote. 'For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way.' 'I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. I don't blame anyone or anything but myself. While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them,' he added. 5 Michael Tait sings for the Newsboys during the 49th Annual Dove Awards on Oct. 16, 2018 in Nashville, Tenn. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Advertisement The report, published June 4, featured sourcing from 50 people, including three men who claim they were targets of Tait's non-consensual sexual advances when they were in their early 20s. Tait allegedly befriended multiple people while on tour, including three men in 2004, 2010 and 2014, respectively. The men claim Tait offered them alcohol or cocaine and later touched them non-consensually, according to The Roys Report. 5 The 59-year-old addressed the accusations in a post to Instagram, titled 'My Confession – June 10, 2025.' @michaeltait/Instagram Advertisement Tait, who abruptly left Newsboys in January because he was 'living a double life,' said he split with the award-winning group 'to get help.' 'I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and was tired of leading a double life,' he said. Tait revealed that he is sober after he spent six weeks at a Utah treatment center, which he insists saved his life from 'ultimate destruction.' 5 Michael Tait joins the Newsboys during a visit to the SiriusXM Studios in Manhattan on April 15, 2019.

Getty Images The Washington, DC native said he lied throughout his career as he kept his drug abuse and sex life a secret from everyone he worked and lived with. 'I'm ashamed to admit that for years I have lied and deceived my family, friends, fans and even mislef my bandmates about aspects of my life,' Tait said. 'I was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives. I was not the same person on stage Sunday night as I was at home on Monday.' The current members of Newsboys — Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Adam Agee — were left 'shattered' over the allegations against Tait. 'Last night our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait,' the band wrote on Instagram Tuesday. 'First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault.' The band was aware of Tait's 'double life' but said they never imagined how bad it could be. Tait is a four-time Grammy winner, taking the award for Best Rock Gospel Album in 1994, 1997, 1998 and 2002. Advertisement He was a nominee for the award at the 2005 show. Tait joined Newsboys in 2009 after having been a founding member of the Christian rap trio DC Talk from 1988 to 2001. After the allegations were made public, Newsboys and DC Talk songs were pulled from the US's largest Christian radio network, K-Love, according to the Christian Post. 5 Duncan Phillips, Jody Davis, Peter Furler, Michael Tait and Jeff Frankenstein of Newsboys attend the red carpet for the 'God's Not Dead: In God We Trust' premiere in Southlake, Texas on Sept. 4, 2024.

'As the investigation proceeds, our prayers are with all those involved. In the meantime, our Programming Team is resting Newsboys and DC Talk music on our stream.' Tait admitted to being on a path of repentance and started a journey of healing with clinical health professionals, counselors and family. 'I have hurt so many people in so many ways, and I will live with that shameful reality the rest of my life. I can only dream and pray for human forgiveness, because I certainly don't deserve it,' he said. 'I have even accepted the thought that God may be the only One who ultimately and completely forgives me.'
