Actor William Levy arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication, trespassing at a Florida restaurant
The 'Triunfo del Amor' actor was arrested after police responded to a complaint at a restaurant in Weston, Fla., a city north of Miami, late Monday night.
'The arrestee [Levy], who was highly intoxicated and causing a disturbance inside the restaurant was given a trespass warning ... not to return back to the business by the manager on duty,' the arrest report stated. '[Levy] was given multiple verbal orders to leave the property as [he] was ignoring [police] commands and was eventually placed into custody for trespass after warning.'
Levy was then detained at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, where he was held on two separate bail charges of $250.
The 44-year-old actor made bail Tuesday morning and addressed a crowd of reporters outside of where he was being held.
He explained that he was grabbing drinks with parents from his son's baseball team when a heated discussion — that he claimed he was not initially partaking in — broke out.
'From one moment to the next a conversation broke out between some other people,' Levy told reporters. 'I got in the middle of it ... and well, I was the one who ended up in handcuffs.'
The 'Cuidado con el Ángel' star also dispelled the idea that he had pushed someone during the alleged altercation at the restaurant and said that it never became physical.
'There are cameras [that will show the truth],' Levy said.
The Times has reached out to Levy's representatives for comment.
The actor, born William Gutiérrez-Levy in Cuba, moved to Florida during his teenage years and went on to become one of the most well-known working telenovela stars. His first long-running role in novelas was in 2007 when he played the role of Larry Irázabal on 'Acorralada.' Levy landed his first novela leading role with 2008's 'Cuidado con el Ángel' and followed that up with a 90-episode leading role run in 'Sortilegio' in 2009.
He has had lead roles in six other telenovelas since 2010, including mostly recently 'Vuelve a Mí,' which aired on Telemundo and concluded in 2024.
Levy was named People en Español's 'sexiest man of the year' in 2011 and is sometimes referred to as the Latino Brad Pitt.
English-speaking audiences may best recognize Levy for placing third on 'Dancing With the Stars' in 2012. He also had roles in Tyler Perry's 2014 dramedy 'The Single Moms Club,' 2016's 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' and for his cameo in the 2017 comedy 'Girls Trip.'

Brooks Nader Heats up Instagram in Leopard Print Bathing Suit
Brooks Nader Heats up Instagram in Leopard Print Bathing Suit originally appeared on Parade. Brooks Nader knows how to set social media on fire. The Sports Illustrated model and Dancing With the Stars alum, 28, took to social media to share a series of snaps from her vacation in St. Tropez that had tongues wagging. In the first shot, the super stunner showed off a leopard print bathing suit that showed off her ample assets. Paired with brown sandals and black sunglasses, the blonde beauty showed off her gorgeous gams for the camera. That was followed by several shots of Nader in a sheer, polka-dotted dress that featured a unique halter neckline. The plunging neckline, which hit all the way down near Nader's belly, cascaded upward and tied up around her neck. Revealing a nude back, the stunning look was just one of many that Nader wore on her French journey. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Back in April, Nader and her former Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, broke up, PEOPLE reported. While the couple never actually confirmed or denied that they were dating, it was frequently implied. "When we get to dance with each other for five hours a day, and we're so close and personal and she looks like that, we just kind of develop that kind of chemistry," Savchenko told PEOPLE in 2024. "It's natural, and it's awesome. We're hanging out and it's just having a good time, living life." Nader had equal praise for Savchenko, saying, 'Listen, he's such a great person and a great guy and I've loved getting to know him and I'm having fun hanging out with him." However, things seemed to flare out, and Savchenko ended up speaking out to E! News, claiming that he was never unfaithful, despite reports. "I'm not a cheater," Gleb told E! News at Hulu's Get Real event on April 22. "I'm actually a family guy. I'm a relationship guy. I'm not a f--kboy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I'm not even on dating apps."Brooks Nader Heats up Instagram in Leopard Print Bathing Suit first appeared on Parade on Aug 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

Paulina Porizkova, 60, Stuns Fans With Candid Clip: ‘Spectacularly Unflattering'
Paulina Porizkova, 60, Stuns Fans With Candid Clip: 'Spectacularly Unflattering' originally appeared on Parade. Legendary supermodel Paulina Porizkova isn't afraid to have a bit of fun at her own expense. A new social media post from the former Dancing with the Stars contestant and America's Next Top Model judge provided an honest take on aging, and fans loved her for it. On August 5, Porizkova shared a short video on her Instagram page. Text over the video read, "Oh... Oops!" and she explained what she meant in the caption. "You know, that spectacularly unflattering angle when you're looking down at your phone, and accidentally film yourself! So much for 'oh, aging is easy for you, Miss Supermodel.'" Of course, Porizkova didn't have to share the brief video that showed her from an unflattering angle. However, she chose to do so to allow her to make an important point about aging. Regarding aging, Porizkova wrote, "It's easy only for those who have never cared what they look like, spent a lifetime pursuing noble goals, and are in perfect health." She quipped, "Those of you who qualify, I bow to you: You're karmically waaaay ahead of me." Porizkova continued, "For the rest of us: I love my age. I'm the happiest I've ever been. I wouldn't trade it for any other age." Despite that, Porizkova admitted that it's work to accept her changing looks as she ages. "Having relied on my looks for most of my life as a part of my personality, this physically aging stuff demands an inner courage I'm still working on," she acknowledged. At the same time, Porizkova added, aging is "also a privilege of which I am absolutely conscious and grateful." Porizkova added a handful of hashtags at the end of her caption. One joked she was between Jennifer Lopez and Betty White, and another declared, "This is 60." The supermodel's message rang true with her fans. "That angle gives me a fright regularly, and then I step back and give myself some grace. Thanks for being so honest," commented one supporter. "It's very affirming that you are as vulnerable as non-models," a fan noted. Someone else added, "Oh you nailed it as at our age this is the reality and I too embrace it! As one person here commented, 'age is not a crime'!! YAAAAS!"

Husband of Telemundo host and ex-beauty queen stole $1.6M from fitness influencer, lawsuit alleges
Telemundo star and former Puerto Rico beauty queen Aleyda Ortiz's husband was accused of stealing $1.6 million from a popular Latino fitness influencer, according to a lawsuit. Ricardo Casanova, a financial advisor who has been married to the TV host for eight years, allegedly siphoned corporate funds from Alejandro Chabán, a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur, wellness advocate and television personality, the $4.8 million civil theft lawsuit claims. Casanova worked as Chabán's financial consultant beginning in 2017, with access to corporate bank accounts and financial records, according to the filing in Miami federal court on July 30. Chabán filed suit against Ricardo Casanova (right), the husband of Telemundo host and former beauty queen Aleyda Ortiz (left). WireImage Alejandro Chabán, a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur, wellness advocate and television personality, filed a lawsuit against the husband of a former Puerto Rican beauty queen. Getty Images The complaint alleges that from 2017 until his removal in 2024, Casanova transferred and withdrew company money without permission, channeling it to himself under the guise of compensation far beyond what had been agreed upon. Chabán's attorney, Miranda Soto, said the claim is being brought under Florida's Civil Theft Statute, which allows for triple damages in cases of proven theft. 'Mr. Casanova systematically took funds to which he was not entitled from 2017 until he was discovered in 2024,' Soto said in a statement posted to social media. 'He violated the trust placed in him and his fiduciary duty to Mr. Chabán and his companies. This lawsuit not only seeks to protect Mr. Chabán's businesses, but also his employees, partners, and investors.' The Post has sought comment from Chabán, Ortiz and attorneys for Casanova. The case has attracted attention in Spanish-language media in the US and Latin America thanks to Chabán's reputation as a trusted wellness figure and Ortiz's status as a prominent television host. Ortiz, 36, won a reality beauty competition in 2014 and finished as first runner up in Miss Universe Puerto Rico competion that same year. She has appeared on Telemundo programs, including the morning lifestyle show 'En casa con Telemundo' as well as the celebrity dance competition 'Mira Quién Baila.' Ortiz has not publicly commented on the lawsuit. Chabán, 43, is widely recognized in the Hispanic community for his transformation from an overweight child into a prominent advocate for health and fitness. He has hosted television programs, written best-selling books such as 'Think Skinny, Feel Fit: 7 Steps to Transform Your Emotional Weight and Have an Awesome Life.' He also founded 'Yes You Can!,' a Miami-based nutrition and wellness brand. His public image blends his entertainment career with a focus on physical and emotional wellbeing, and his companies market products and lifestyle plans aimed at Latino consumers in the US and abroad.
