Dr. Oz's Granddaughter Faints During President Donald Trump's Speech
Originally appeared on E! Online
Good thing there was a doctor in the house—the White House, that is.
Moments after Dr. Mehmet Oz was sworn in as President Donald Trump's administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the Oval Office, a commotion occurred when Dr. Oz's granddaughter Philomena Jovanovic, 11, the eldest of his daughter Daphne Oz's four kids, fainted.
In footage from the April 18 event, the president was speaking to reporters when he was interrupted by a stir on the other side of the office. As a woman shouted, 'Philo fainted, Philo fainted. Dad, go!' Dr. Oz—who shares kids Daphne, 39, Arabella Oz, 34, Zoe Oz, 28, and Oliver Oz, 25, with wife Lisa Oz—rushed over toward his family.
As members of the press, who were told to leave the room, made their exit, Daphne—who also shares kids Jovan Jovanovic, 9, Domenica Celine Jovanovic, 7, and Giovanna Ines Jovanovic, 5, with husband John Jovanovic—could be seen helping her daughter out of the office.

Though the scene was tense, the White House later clarified that Philomena was doing well.
"A minor family member fainted during Dr. Oz's swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office,' a spokesperson said in an April 18 statement to People. 'We are happy to say she is okay."
While Daphne—who followed in her dad's TV footsteps, hosting the daytime cooking show The Chew for seven seasons from 2011 to 2017—was quick to be by her daughter's side, she has also been vocal about the benefit of having a family so deeply entrenched in the world of medicine.
'I don't know what I would do without a doctor on call all the time because I'm so used to it,' the cookbook author told Parade in 2020. 'Both of my grandfathers are doctors, my dad, my uncle. So everything gets a call.'

Michael Tait, Christian Singer, Admits to "Unwanted" Touching of Men
Originally appeared on E! Online Michael Tait is taking accountability. After he was accused of sexual assault and drug abuse by multiple people, the Newsboys singer spoke out on the allegations, which the accusers said took place between 2004 and 2014. "Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true," Tait wrote in a statement shared to his Instagram June 10. "For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way." The four-time Grammy winner went on to say that he's taking full responsibility for the incidents described in the reports, which were first published by Christian media outlet The Roys Report on June 4. "I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them," Tait continued. "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." More from E!

For one, he stepped away from Newsboys in January, leaving behind remaining members Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Adam Agee. "I did so to get help," Tait said of quitting the Christian rock group. "I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and was tired of leading a double life. I spent six weeks at a treatment center in Utah, receiving help that may have saved my life from ultimate destruction." And while the former DC Talk frontman said he's been "clean and sober since," he admitted that he still has "lots of hard work" ahead of him, and he said he'll forever live with the shame of "living two distinctly different lives." As Tait put it, "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." "I have even accepted the thought that God may be the only One who ultimately and completely forgives me," he continued. "Still, I want to say I'm sorry to everyone I have hurt. I am truly sorry." Less than a week before Tait's confession, The Roys Report published a report accusing Tait of sexual assault and drug abuse that was sourced by over 50 people, three of whom were men who said they experienced his nonconsensual sexual advances when they were in their early 20s. Since the report's release, Tait's Newsboy bandmates have also spoken out on the allegations. '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 June 5. '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." They added, "We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault.' For free, confidential help, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 or visit
