‘Disgusting': Kid's party debate erupts, divides the internet
A mum has sparked a heated debate online after sharing her frustration when her child was uninvited to a birthday party.
Taking to TikTok, Sarah, known as 'momof_4our_', detailed the moment she discovered her son had been excluded – and the surprising way it all unfolded.
In her video, Sarah explained that one of her children had been invited to a party, but she ended up replying to one of the parents a couple of weeks later to RSVP because she is 'crap at texting people.'
She responded by thanking them for the invite and saying her child was 'really looking forward to coming.'
However, they replied saying that the party had now been cancelled.
But Sarah soon found out that the party wasn't cancelled and had still taken place.
'All of my child's friends were texting him saying why aren't you at the party, how come you're not here, we want to see blah blah blah,' she said.
Sarah soon realised that the parent had 'lied' to her by claiming it was cancelled.
Her frustration stems from the behaviour of the parents who, rather than addressing the missed RSVP directly, chose to lie about the party being cancelled.
She added: 'Like why invite my child to a party if you're going to pretend it's not on anymore, I just don't understand.'
Sarah explained that they all go to the same school and questioned what the parent thought was going to happen.
She went on to say how upset her child had been, describing the situation as 'disgusting behaviour.'
The video, which has gained over 180,000 views, has divided opinions online.
While some sympathised with Sarah and criticised the other parent's behaviour, others argued that missing the RSVP deadline might have left the hosts feeling frustrated or overwhelmed.
One viewer commented: 'Should have replied earlier, it's so annoying when parents don't text back for numbers and parents have to pay according to numbers. They probably meant your invite cancelled cos you didn't reply.'
Sarah responded: 'She said the venue had been double booked and she would let me know when they find another venue, so clearly didn't mean that!'
Another added: 'Just interested Sarah – When she texted it was cancelled did you reply with a 'thanks for letting me know, shame etc'? Wondering if you didn't respond & had done the response prior, late as admitted, could she have rebooked & thought you weren't too bothered.
'Just a thought but if you did reply to the cancellation text then my theory is nada!'
A third said: 'You replied weeks later. Maybe they felt bad saying they can no longer come so just said it's cancelled.'
However, others were firmly on Sarah's side. One viewer wrote: 'Vileeeeeee! I'd have turned up to the party.'
Another added: 'I would have confronted the mother, that's not okay, poor children.'

Disney ‘holds crisis talks' over Jared Leto accusations that threaten to derail big budget blockbuster
Disney has found itself scrambling to organise the promotion of Jared Leto's new movie amid historic claims of sexual impropriety, an insider has exclusively told The U.S. Sun. Leto, 53, has been accused by nine women, including some who were teenagers at the time. He has strongly denied all accusations. Model Laura La Rue was among the accusers who said she was just 16 when the star, then 36, began flirting through messages and once emerged from a room at his house naked, according to an AirMail report in early June. Recalling the alleged experience at his house, she said, 'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.' Leto's reps denied any wrongdoing, saying, 'Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms La Rue later applied to work as his personal assistant.' La Rue denied she ever applied for the job, according to AirMail. He is not being sued or charged with any crime, but the report has thrown a wrench in the works when it comes to promoting his latest films. The Oscar-winning actor has two big-budget films being released in the coming months at Disney and Amazon MGM, Tron: Ares and Masters of the Universe. Ahead of Tron's release in October, Disney is scheduled to host a panel at San Diego ComicCon at the end of July, The Wrap reported, although it's not known whether or not Leto will appear on it. 'Jared wants it to be business as usual ahead of the release of his new movie, but Disney is nervous about the promotion of Tron,' an insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun. 'The accusations of sexual misconduct couldn't have come at a worse time. 'The marketing team has been having crisis meetings ahead of its theatrical release in October. 'Disney is planning to host a panel at San Diego ComicCon to push Tron: Ares and Jared has made it known that he's happy to be on it. 'He doesn't want to hide away having denied the allegations and not only is he the lead, he's one of the producers. 'Talks are still ongoing about how to handle the situation, but he will likely take part in some capacity and hold his head high. 'He is not being sued civilly and he isn't being charged with a crime, if he were I think things would be a lot different.' Leto took to the stage to speak about Tron: Ares during CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on April 3, 2025, just two months before the report was published by AirMail. One woman speaking to the outlet claimed his behaviour 'has been an open secret for a long time.' The U.S. Sun's source added, 'Disney may still have to cut its losses on this one but will still do what it can to promote the movie and create a buzz.' Neither Disney nor a representative for Leto responded to a request for comment. San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 24 to 27. Tron is scheduled to be released in theatres on October 10. The movie also stars Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, Cameron Monaghan, and Jeff Bridges. And although a big-budget movie usually comes with TV and print interview slots for its lead star and a social media push, there has been no marketing since the initial trailer was released in April. Leto is also set to appear in Masters of the Universe, which is scheduled for release in June 2026, although he is not the lead character in the live-action feature film. The actor has been cast as Skeletor, the primary antagonist to Nicholas Galitzine's He-Man, according to reports.

Beyonce stops show after scary prop malfunction
Beyonce was forced to stop one of her concerts in Texas when she almost fell out of a flying car. The 43-year-old singer was performing the first of her two Cowboy Carter shows in Houston, Texas on Saturday night US time when one of her props - a red convertible - malfunctioned and began to tilt in mid-air. Beyonce - who appeared to be wearing a harness and was holding onto one of the cables attached to the car in a TikTok video of the incident - was singing 16 Carriages while sitting on top of the convertible when it began to lean at a sharp angle in the air. "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop," she said into her microphone. The music was cut and the Texas Hold 'Em singer looked down at the ground and up again before smiling to the cheering crowd. She told them after a few seconds: "Thank y'all for your patience." The car was then lowered and stopped tilting as it came closer to the ground, allowing Beyonce to sit back in her original position as the lights went off. The singer left the stage before returning to finish her performance, telling the crowd: "If ever I fall. I know y'all would catch me." This isn't the first malfunction Beyonce has experienced during her Cowboy Carter tour. In California in May, the former Destiny's Child star was seen looking for her mark before the Cozy segment of the show, in which she is surrounded by gold frames. But footage shared online showed her spot wasn't visible as she waited for robotic arms to bring the frames around her body and, appearing visibly confused, she was forced to complete her performance while avoiding being hit by the robotic props. Also in May, Beyonce's 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - who is a dancer on the tour - intervened to unhook an earring that almost got caught in the Crazy in Love hitmaker's hair mid-performance. And during one of her London shows in May, Beyonce's golden chaps slipped off as she sang, but she just pulled her outfit up and kept moving.
