ENHYPEN members face backlash over 'fatphobic' comments about Sunoo's appearance in new video
While Jake was encouraged to eat more as part of his fitness goals, attention turned to Sunoo when he paused during his meal. Sunghoon remarked that Sunoo could eat more, and others joined in, laughing and suggesting he was watching his image. Jay added, 'Sunoo could eat this entire table.' Sunoo did not respond directly to the remarks, and some fans interpreted his silence as discomfort.
Clips from the episode quickly circulated on X, where fans expressed concern over what they viewed as repeated comments about Sunoo's eating and body image. Some users labelled the interaction as fat-shaming, pointing to a pattern of similar incidents in previous content.
One post read, 'They've been publicly humiliating and bullying Sunoo for a long time,' while another shamed the members for being 'fatphobic'. Others highlighted Sunoo's silent reaction to the members' quips as proof of his discomfort.

YouTuber seeks protective order against Blake Lively amid ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni
A YouTuber known as Lauren Neidigh, who uses the handle LethalLauren904, has accused actress Blake Lively of harassment and intimidation in connection to Lively's ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. According to a letter obtained by Us Weekly, Neidigh has requested a protective order against Lively, citing the undue burden created by legal subpoenas issued to her and other content creators. -Youtube/The Court of Random Opinion. Neidigh claims that she, along with fellow YouTubers McKenzie Folks and Kassidy O'Connell, were unfairly targeted after expressing critical views about Lively online. She alleged that Lively's subpoena sought personal banking information without substantiating evidence and was designed to 'intimidate, harass, chill constitutionally protected free speech, and threaten the safety and privacy of non-parties.' Although Lively's legal team dropped the subpoenas earlier this week, Neidigh emphasized that Lively has not ruled out reissuing them, thus maintaining what she describes as an 'ongoing threat.' In her letter, Neidigh requested both a formal protective order and sanctions to prevent further discovery actions she deems abusive. She also criticized Lively's legal team for being 'largely unresponsive.' Lively, who has not publicly addressed the subpoena issue, has also reportedly subpoenaed other media personalities, including Perez Hilton and Candace Owens, as part of the same legal dispute. This development stems from a broader legal conflict that began in December 2024 when Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni. Baldoni denied the claims and countersued for defamation, though his suit was dismissed in June. While Lively has spoken publicly about the case, including during a May appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Baldoni has yet to grant an interview regarding the matter.

Paris Jackson confirms split from Justin Long after public breakdown
Paris Jackson has officially ended her engagement to actor Justin Long, confirming the breakup just days after she was seen tearfully walking alone. The announcement came in the early hours of August 1 via her social media, following intense speculation after a photo of her crying went viral. The emotional image, captured shortly after Michael Jackson's 16th death anniversary, led fans to assume she was mourning her father. But Paris cleared the air with a blunt response on X (formerly Twitter), 'Those are breakup tears. Y'all are fkn reaching again.' The split comes as a shock, especially considering how recent reports had suggested the couple were deep into wedding planning. Friends of Paris told media as recently as July 29 that she had been busy organising the upcoming ceremony. The engagement, which lasted eight months, began in December 2024, when Paris shared a heartfelt post thanking Justin for being her person. Until earlier this month, the couple seemed inseparable, with Paris sharing affectionate snapshots from her tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra. But the public breakdown, followed by her social media confirmation, marks a clear and painful end to the relationship. The 27-year-old singer and model, daughter of the late King of Pop, has spoken candidly about her journey with mental health and sobriety. In January 2025, she celebrated five years clean from alcohol and heroin, crediting her sobriety for giving her the strength to feel deeply, both joy and heartbreak. While Paris hasn't issued any additional statements, her fans have rallied with support online. Many are praising her honesty and resilience, especially in dealing with grief and personal loss in such a public spotlight.
