Charleston White arrested in Texas on aggravated assault charges
Comedian Charleston White is currently in custody in Texas, facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Jail records confirm that White, known for his film 'Wrong Address' on Tubi, was booked on February 18 at a corrections center in the Fort Worth area. The exact details of the incident remain unclear, and speculation has been circulating on social media, although no official statements have been made by White or law enforcement as of now.
This arrest comes after a series of previous legal issues for White. In October, he was arrested in Tarrant County on charges of animal cruelty and aggravated assault, with a similar arrest taking place the year prior. It is not yet known if the latest arrest is related to those prior incidents.
White has built a controversial reputation online, frequently sharing outspoken views. In a recent interview with Terrance "Gangsta" Williams, White discussed the impact of incarceration, advising young people to "figure out what he wants to do other than going to jail." He added that jail could lead to personal growth, suggesting that one could "come back and be a better person" after serving time.
The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office has yet to comment on the situation, and the story may be updated as more information becomes available.

50 Cent uses Diddy's anti-Trump video to block possible pardon
Rapper 50 Cent is actively working to block fellow hip-hop mogul Diddy from receiving a potential presidential pardon from Donald Trump. On June 2, 50 Cent posted a resurfaced video from 2020 that shows Diddy fiercely criticizing Trump, warning of a 'race war' if he were reelected. The footage, originally aired on Diddy's own Revolt News network, features him stating, 'If Trump gets elected, I really do believe there'll be a race war... White men like Trump need to be banished.' 50 Cent shared the video on Instagram shortly after Trump revealed he might consider granting a pardon to Diddy. Speaking to reporters on May 30, Trump said he had not yet received a formal request but would evaluate it if one came. He also acknowledged the pair's strained relationship, stating, 'He used to really like me a lot... I'd read some nasty statements he made.' Diddy is currently facing multiple felony charges in New York federal court, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. The legal pressure has raised speculation about whether he might seek presidential clemency—something Trump has extended to rappers like Lil Wayne and Kodak Black in the past. 50 Cent, who has a long-running feud with Diddy, made it clear he won't let that happen. In a prior post, he warned Trump: 'He's gonna ask you for a pardon, don't do it. He said things about you.' This latest move intensifies the personal and political rivalry between two of hip hop's most powerful figures, turning their feud into a battle over justice and influence.

'The White Lotus' creator Mike White joins 'Survivor 50'
Mike White, screenwriter and creator of HBO's The White Lotus, is set to return to Survivor for its milestone 50th season. Host Jeff Probst confirmed the news during an appearance on 'CBS Mornings,' stating, 'In between writing and directing seasons of 'White Lotus,' Mike White is back.' White previously appeared on Survivor in 2018 during its 37th season, staying for the full 39 days and finishing as runner-up. His time on the show reportedly influenced The White Lotus, the acclaimed anthology series that premiered in 2021. The show's third season, which aired this spring and featured Parker Posey, Carrie Coon and Walton Goggins, drew over six million viewers for its finale. Before Survivor, White competed twice on The Amazing Race alongside his father. He has described reality television as a source of creative inspiration. 'For me, as a writer of drama, I aspire to do what reality television already does,' he said in a 2021 interview with The New Yorker. Survivor's 50th season, scheduled to air in 2026, will include several returning contestants, such as Jenna Lewis-Dougherty from Season 1, and veteran players Cirie Fields and Ozzy Lusth. Filming is set for this summer.

Mike White blasts 'White Lotus' composer over feud: "A b*tch move"
Tensions are flaring behind the scenes of HBO's hit series The White Lotus. Creator and showrunner Mike White recently responded to the show's composer, Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, parting ways with the series — and he didn't hold back. White labeled Tapia de Veer's departure and public comments as a "bitch move" during a candid appearance on The Howard Stern Show. 'I honestly don't know what happened, except now I'm reading his interviews because he decides to do some PR campaign about him leaving the show,' White said. 'I don't think he respected me. He wants people to know that he's edgy and dark and I'm, I don't know, like I watch reality TV. We never really even fought. He says we feuded.' White elaborated further: 'I don't think I ever had a fight with him — except for maybe some emails. It was basically me giving him notes. I don't think he liked to go through the process of getting notes from me, or wanting revisions, because he didn't respect me. I knew he wasn't a team player and that he wanted to do it his way.' White didn't mince words when addressing Tapia de Veer's recent interviews. 'I was thrown that he would go to The New York Times to shit on me and the show three days before the finale,' added White. 'It was kind of a bitch move.' Later, White elaborated a bit more on his frayed relationship with Tapia de Veer, alleging that the composer 'didn't want to go throughout the process with me' and 'didn't want to go to sessions' during the production of the third season. 'He would always look at me with this contemptuous smirk on his face like he thought I was a chimp or something,' said White. "He's definitely making a big deal out of a creative difference of opinion.' The clash between the two creatives stems largely from a disagreement over the show's signature music style. Tapia de Veer told The New York Times that he and White didn't see eye to eye when it came to the theme song for The White Lotus Season 3. Tapia de Veer claimed that White wanted to move away from the signature "ooh-loo-loo-loos" that had defined the first two seasons. 'Background music… a song that is more like something you would listen to in Ibiza, in some clubby place with a chill, sexy vibe,' Tapia de Veer recalled of White's preference. 'I texted the producer and I told him that it would be great to, at some point, give them the longer version with the ooh-loo-loo-loos, because people will explode if they realize that it was going there anyway,' Tapia de Veer explained. 'He thought it was a good idea. But then Mike cut that — he wasn't happy about that. I mean, at that point, we already had our last fight forever, I think. So he was just saying no to anything.'
