Mom-to-be influencer followed by Shakira, Shraddha Kapoor goes flying during gender reveal party; video goes viral
Gender reveals are getting more over-the-top every day, and one recent stunt from Florida has people talking — and not all in a good way. Social media influencer and soon-to-be mom Lele Pons, best known for her YouTube fame and stint on Dancing with the Stars, is under fire for a dramatic reveal that many say took things a step too far.
At a flashy party in Miami, Pons and her husband stood onstage in front of a setup that had 'Team Boy' and 'Team Girl' signs on either side. Groups of people in ponchos stood beneath each sign, ready for the big moment.
The couple pressed down on a button labeled 'TNT,' triggering a sudden burst of pink goo that blasted out from the 'Team Girl' side, confirming they're expecting a daughter. The goo drenched the people below, but it didn't stop there. It flooded the stage so fast that Pons lost her balance, slipping and falling while her husband celebrated with a leap of excitement.
As the goo kept coming, Pons tried to stand but kept slipping. Her husband eventually turned around and helped her up while she laughed off the mishap.

The video quickly went viral. While some viewers found it hilarious, others weren't as amused. One person wrote, 'This is so dangerous but happy for her.' Another user, apparently a professional in the event space, commented, 'As event professionals we have to do better with risk assessment and ensure our clients are better cared for. Sometimes saying NO is ok for their safety. This could have been tragic and thank God it wasn't.'
A third user wrote, 'I think this was a great gender reveal but they should have been away from everything lollll.'
Another Instagram user wrote, 'Baby almost returned to sender.' A fifth user wrote, 'I feel like this is a Nickelodeon slime episode.'
Lele Pons, born Eleonora Pons Maronese on June 25, 1996, is a Venezuelan-American internet personality, actress, singer, and comedian.
She shot to fame on the video platform Vine, where she became the first 'Viner' to reach one billion loops. After Vine shut down, she expanded her presence on YouTube, where she has amassed over 18 million subscribers, creating comedy sketches and episodic content.
Pons has also ventured into acting, appearing in the MTV horror series Scream and the romantic comedy We Love You.

Donald Trump says all his children could be future politicians: ‘They were born smart'
US President Donald Trump says all of his children could have a future in politics — and he's confident they have what it takes. Speaking on the new podcast hosted by New York Post's Miranda Devine, Trump discussed his children, their potential political aspirations, and his approach to parenting. 'I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I think all of them probably have a future in politics, frankly,' Trump said. When asked if his son, Donald Trump Jr., might run for president. 'And Don is very good. A good guy. He's an outdoorsman.' The 45th president praised each of his children by name, describing their strengths and careers. Donald Trump Jr.: The President lauded his oldest son's political instincts and public presence. "Don is very good. A good guy. He's an outdoorsman,' Trump replied. Eric Trump: 'Eric has done a fantastic job,' Trump said. Eric is currently executive vice president and trustee of the Trump Organization. Ivanka Trump: 'She's so great,' Trump said, referencing her time in his administration. Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have mostly stayed away from politics during Trump's current term. Tiffany Trump: 'She went to a great law school and did very well,' Trump noted. Tiffany recently gave birth to her first child and continues to lead a relatively private life. Barron Trump: Trump called his youngest son 'great' and 'very tall and good.' Barron is studying at NYU. Eric's wife, Lara Trump, was also highlighted for her political involvement. She previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee and now hosts her own Fox News program, My View with Lara Trump. The President also shared what he believes is the secret to successful parenting. 'I always said the same thing. I said: no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes,' Trump explained. He added with a laugh, 'I also would say don't get tattoos, but I don't say it too strongly, because a lot of people have gotten tattoos, and that's what they chose to do.' 'I still say it,' he emphasised. 'I tell them: no drugs, no cigarettes, no alcohol.' Trump became emotional while speaking about his youngest son's relationship with Melania Trump's late mother, Amalija Knavs, who passed away in February 2024 at age 78. 'He wanted to be there because his grandmother was gonna stay and wait for him in an apartment near the school. And she passed away,' he said. 'She was fantastic. Melania's mother was a fantastic woman. And Melania is a fantastic mother.' Trump's comments suggest he sees a lasting role for the Trump family in American political life. 'They were born smart,' he said. 'But they work hard too, and they're good to people.'
