Cashel Barnett has been charged with domestic violence in Salt Lake City.
Cashel Barnett, known for his stint on Love Island USA, has landed in serious legal trouble. The reality TV personality is currently in custody in Salt Lake City, Utah, following disturbing accusations involving his ex-girlfriend and their young daughter.
Local authorities confirmed that Barnett was taken into custody on Monday and is being held without bail. The charges stem from a violent incident that allegedly took place earlier in April but was only brought to police attention a couple of weeks later.
According to details first reported by TMZ, the alleged altercation occurred on April 10. The victim claims that Barnett became physically aggressive, reportedly slapping her multiple times before lifting her by the neck and attempting to strangle her in front of their 1-year-old child. She reported the incident to law enforcement on April 24.
Barnett, 33, voluntarily turned himself in, his legal team stated. Prosecutors have filed multiple charges against him in connection to the alleged assault. The case is currently under investigation.
Barnett is facing serious charges: felony aggravated assault, felony domestic violence in front of a child, and two counts of misdemeanour assault. TMZ also reports that investigators are looking into another alleged violent incident by the same woman, which could lead to more charges. He's being held at the Salt Lake City jail and is due back in court Thursday for a detention hearing, where the judge will decide if he gets bail.
His attorney, Andrew K. Deesing, told NBC they're still gathering facts and won't say more until after that hearing.
You might remember Cashel from Love Island USA in 2019 and The Challenge: USA in 2022. These days, he's based in Salt Lake City, playing drums in several bands and doing modeling gigs. News movies Love Island Alum Cashel Barnett Arrested For Strangling Ex-GF As Baby Watched On

Among the surprising names added to the line-up are actor Michael Rapaport, K-pop artist Eric Nam, and NFL mum Donna Kelce — all set to bring fresh energy to the fan-favourite show. Best known as the mother of NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, Donna is quickly becoming a TV personality in her own right. Meanwhile, Eric Nam — a celebrated singer-songwriter with a strong international fanbase — and veteran actor Rapaport add variety to a cast that also includes familiar faces from The Real Housewives, Survivor, Big Brother, and Love Island USA. Season four's full cast is: Candiace Dillard Bassett ('The Real Housewives of Potomac'), Caroline Stanbury ('The Real Housewives of Dubai'), Colton Underwood ('The Bachelor'), Kelce (mother to Travis and Jason Kelce), Medley ('The Real Housewives of New York City'), Eric Nam (K-pop singer-songwriter), Ian Terry ('Big Brother'), Johnny Weir (Olympic figure skater), Kristen Kish ('Top Chef'), Rob Cesternino ('Survivor'), Rinna ('The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'), Mark Ballas ('Dancing with the Stars'), Maura Higgins ('Aftersun: Love Island USA'), Rapaport, Monét X Change ('RuPaul's Drag Race'), Natalie Anderson ('Survivor'), Porsha Williams ('The Real Housewives of Atlanta'), Rausch ('Love Island USA'), Ron Funches, Stephen Colletti ('One Tree Hill'), Tara Lipinski (Olympic figure skater), Tiffany Mitchell ('Big Brother') and Yamil 'Yam Yam' Arocho ('Survivor'). Hosted once again by Alan Cumming, the Emmy-winning series places contestants in a Scottish castle where they're secretly split into two groups: the 'Traitors' and the 'Faithfuls'. The traitors try to eliminate players each night, while the faithfuls must figure out who is betraying them — all for a cash prize. Cumming, who won two Emmy Awards in 2024 for his role as host and producer, will return with his usual theatrical flair. Season 4 continues the show's success after it was named the most-watched unscripted series in the U.S. and renewed for a fifth season even before the fourth aired. With such a high-profile and diverse cast, fans are already buzzing online. Whether you're here for the strategy, the drama, or just to see Donna Kelce in a castle, 'The Traitors' promises another wild ride.

Does the FBI have Epstein's secret photos of Donald Trump?
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Veteran journalist and author Michael Wolff has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein once showed him Polaroid photos of Donald Trump with topless young girls—and that the FBI may now have those images in its on The Court of History podcast with Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz, Wolff recalled an encounter with Epstein shortly after Trump's 2016 election victory. According to Wolff, Epstein went to his safe and pulled out a stack of Polaroids featuring Trump at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion.'They were kind of spread out like playing cards,' Wolff said. 'And it was Trump—with girls of uncertain age.'Wolff said he vividly remembered three of the photographs: 'In two of them, topless girls are sitting on Trump's lap. In another, he has a visible stain on his pants while several girls are laughing and pointing at it.'He estimated the photos were taken between 1999 and 2001. He also speculated that federal agents may have seized the images during the FBI's 2019 raid of Epstein's New York townhouse, which followed Epstein's arrest on sex trafficking charges.'I think it's certainly not unlikely that they were in the safe when the FBI came in after his arrest and took everything,' Wolff FBI has declined to comment on whether such photographs were ever explosive claim adds to ongoing scrutiny of Epstein's links to powerful men—including Trump, who has attempted to downplay their relationship. In a recent interview with NBC, Trump stated: 'Even Epstein's lawyer said I had nothing to do with it … I was not friendly with Epstein for probably 18 years before he died.'Wolff, known for his Trump-era bestseller Fire and Fury, said he had occasional contact with Epstein between 2014 and Trump's first year in office.'Epstein and Trump had been the best of friends for almost 15 years,' he said. 'They came from the same place. They were instrumental in each other's rise.'He added that Epstein often bragged about relationships with world leaders, including Fidel Castro, Mohammed bin Salman, and Vladimir Putin—though Wolff cautioned that Epstein blurred the line between fact and fantasy.'Let's not go overboard,' Wolff said. 'There was a reality—and then there was his augmented reality.'He also revealed that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak held private conversations with Epstein about Trump. 'Ehud was interested in knowing everything possible that Jeffrey could tell him about Trump,' Wolff Elon Musk fueled speculation with a now-deleted post on X, writing: 'Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.'Trump allies, including Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, have dismissed suggestions of a cover-up, with Patel telling Joe Rogan earlier this year: 'There's been like 15 years of people coming in and creating fictions about this that don't exist.'However, as of now, the alleged existence of the photos remains unverified.
