Trolls demand my marriage be ‘annulled' over wedding day surprise to the groom: ‘Diabolical'
Demands for an immediate 'divorce' are flooding one brave bride's social media comments, after she shared footage of herself executing a 'cringy' choreographed jig for her new hubby during their reception.
'That time I performed a dance on my wedding day knowing my religious family would look down on it,' Alexis Jennings, a newlywed from Texas, wrote in the closed-captions of the controversial clip.

Debated doing this for so long that by the time I convinced myself to do it, I only had less than two months to learn the choreography. DO WHAT YOU WANT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY LADIES ❤️ my man loved it 🥰 To further explain, I purposefully wore this covered up outfit and played down the dance moves out of respect for said religious family. #fyp #wedding #weddingdance #melissamolinaro #weddingtiktok #viral @Melissa Molinaro for the inspo ❤️ ♬ original sound – Alexis Jennings

The viral vid, which has scared up over 10 million TikTok views (and counting), showed the shameless sweetheart shaking a leg to Beyoncé's 2011 hit, 'End of Time,' while rocking a white sweatsuit and sneakers.

And although Jennings seemed to be having the time of her life, doing her best to groove for her groom who was seated in the middle of the dance floor, keyboard killjoys digitally pelted the bride with proverbial tomatoes in disapproval.
'What possessed [you] to do this?' questioned a concerned commenter, referring to Jennings' not-so-smooth moves.
'I sincerely can't explain how uncomfortable and awkward this would be if I was the groom,' wrote an equally underwhelmed onlooker. The shade was echoed by folks encouraging Jennings' husband to 'call off the wedding,' 'get divorced' and 'Google annulment facts.'
3 Internet trolls fiercely assumed that the groom was embarrassed by his new bride's questionable boogy.

'In broad daylight is diabolical,' teased another naysayer.
'This physically hurt me,' another declared.
'Me at the psych ward distracting the guards so my friend can escape,' joked a meanie.
3 Social media savages urged Jennings' husband to get either a divorce or an annulment in response to her eye-popping performance.

The crushing critiques notwithstanding, an uncrushed Jennings — who captioned the post, 'my man loved [the dance]' — responded to haters, writing, 'Y'all roasting me is killing me. The mean comments are only telling me what I already know — you're not gonna hurt my feelings. It's all love.'
And she's far from the only unabashed bride to slay a questionable boogie in celebration of tying the knot.
To toast her holy matrimony, a Florida woman slipped into a thong and twerked for her lucky fella while their wedding guests watched in awe.
And Breyanna, a Dallas-based bride, had to be wheeled out of her post-nuptial after party on a gurney after damaging her femur, tearing several ligaments, busting her shin and denting her knee during a freak accident on the dance floor.
But the injuries didn't stop Breyanna from enjoying every second of the once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
'It's going to be [etched] in my heart and mind for the remainder of my days,' vowed bruised belle. 'Special day.'

Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologizes for using racial slur
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologized Wednesday for resurfaced posts where she used a racial slur against Asian people. Just a week before the reality show's finale, Ortega, who was half of one of the season's strongest couples, left the villa after old posts resurfaced that contained the slur. Ortega addressed the entire Asian community in her nearly five minute TikTok video and said she is 'deeply, truly, honestly so sorry.' 'This is not an apology video. This is an accountability video,' Ortega said in the video. 'I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it,' Ortega said. 'I had no ill intention when I was using it, but that's absolutely no excuse because intent doesn't excuse ignorance.' Ortega, who has been back in the United States for about 48 hours, said she has struggled most with the backlash experienced by her family, who she said doesn't feel safe in their own home, and have had immigration authorities called on them. 'There's no need to fight hate with hate. I don't think that that's justice," Ortega said. "And if you want to know that you're heard and that I'm sorry and that I will move differently, I promise you, that's what will happen.' Ortega's removal from the villa was announced early in Sunday's episode. Host Iain Stirling said she had left 'due to a personal situation.' 'I completely agree with the network's decision to remove me from the villa. I think that this is something that deserved punishment and the punishment is absolutely been received,' Ortega said.

Toxic ‘Banksying' breakup trend is the cruel new dating stunt that's even meaner than ghosting
Hoping that your suddenly sour sweetheart will have a sudden change of heart? Don't Bank on it. If your partner is slowly but surely becoming emotionally detached from the relationship, chances are you're being 'Banksyed,' experts warn of the new, heartbreaking breakup tactic. It's a dastardly dumping technique named after Banksy, the elusive street artist. And much like his iconic work, which tends to pop up out of nowhere, victims of the cruel uncoupling stunt typically don't see the surprise split coming. 'Banksying happens more now, especially with the proliferation of dating apps, where people have developed poor dating etiquette,' Amy Chan, a breakup pro, told USA Today. 'The person withdrawing gets the ability to process the breakup on their own terms, before they hand the memo to the other person who ends up being in total shock.' It's a cowardly way to part ways. But, sadly, it seems the gutless guys and gals of today prefer taking the wimpish way out of their romantic commitments. Tech-savvy 20-somethings of Gen Z are tasking artificial intelligence with drafting 'it's not you, it's me' texts, ending things in writing rather than in-real life. And fans of the buzzy 'cut them off' theory are leaving their unsuspecting honeys high-and-dry, arbitrarily ditching them over petty oversights. 'Last year, I was seeing someone that I really liked and I cut him off because he didn't wish me a safe flight,' an uncaring 'cut 'em'-practitioner bragged online. Then, of course, there are those grimey, ghastly ghosters, folks who abruptly discontinue all communication with an inamorata or inamorato without a trace. But Chan says Banskying might be a relationship cruelty 'worse than' ghosting. 'The prevalence of this trend shows how conflict avoidant people have become,' she explained to a TikTok audience of more than 112,000 viewers. 'There's a lack of ability to have uncomfortable, hard conversations, so they do more damage by dragging it out.' Her Banksyed-burned followers agreed. 'Yup — shattered my itty bitty heart into a million pieces,' confessed a crushed commenter. 'Wow can't believe I got Banksyed,' another exclaimed. 'Isn't this just Quiet Quitting: Relationship Edition?,' a separate spectator wrote, likening the breakup trick to the 'quiet quitting' workplace movement, which sees disgruntled employees making under-the-radar departures from their jobs. Emma Hathorn, a relationship insider at says Banksying — although not a totally novel concept — often leaves daters feeling stressed, confused and gaslit. 'Banksying is something that we have all experienced at one point or another,' Hathorn told USA Today. 'Previously, there hasn't been a way to express that subtle feeling of dread when a partner has begun to pull away, essentially icing us out.' 'Emotionally manipulative, emotionally distant — there are plenty of ways that people have tried to define it.' Chan added that Banksying usually makes the unwitting partner feel 'left in the dark, wondering if the relationship is actually solid or if their concerns about it are justified.' 'They might not be using their words to tell you — but their actions are,' she continued. 'They might lie and say everything is 'fine,' but you also have to exert that you're not 'fine' because you can pick up the cues of emotional distance.' 'Don't gaslight yourself into thinking it's OK to sweep the cold behavior under the rug just because they're saying everything is fine, but acting in a way that's completely the opposite,' Chan advised. Hathorn urged Banskying offenders to simply come clean about their fed-up feelings, rather than do their clueless darlings dirty. 'Modern dating is in desperate need of blunt honesty,' she said. 'Being upfront, firm but polite shows that you know what you want and are unwilling to waste your time and a potential partner's time.'

Chimpanzees engage in cheeky trendsetting behavior — proving they're more human-like than you realize, study reveals
Move over, fashion week — the hottest accessory of the season is a blade of grass shoved in your ear. Or, for the truly daring: your butt. Chimpanzees at a Zambian wildlife sanctuary are going viral — not for escaping or throwing poo, but for their bizarre behavior that's as puzzling as it is cheeky. At the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, one group of captive chimps has taken to dangling grass out of their ears, a trend researchers first spotted back in 2010, originally reported on by Live Science. But now, a second chimp clique has upped the ante — by sticking it where the sun don't shine. Yes, you read that right. A new study published July 4 in the journal 'Behaviour' reveals the latest primate pastime involves wedging grass into their rectums and letting it hang like the world's worst tail. Why? Even the experts are scratching their heads. The first trendsetter, a female chimp named Julie, kicked off the grassy-ear craze over a decade ago. After she died in 2013, her son and a few others kept the tradition alive. But it wasn't until 2023 that the butt-branch brigade burst onto the scene. Enter Juma — a male chimp and apparent innovator — who debuted the rear-end version of the fad, which spread faster than lice in a middle school locker room. A new study published July 4 uncovers the chimps' latest pastime: stuffing grass up their behinds and letting it dangle like a sad excuse for a tail. Paul – Within a week, his entire group was in on the gag — er, grass. Researchers, who watched the apes closely over a year, say the trend isn't about hygiene or comfort. It's all about clout. 'In captivity, they have more free time than in the wild,' van Leeuwen said. 'They don't have to stay as alert or spend as much time searching for food.' So with extra downtime and no TikTok to scroll, these chimps are showing off their flair — and perhaps strengthening their friend groups in the process. 'It could also serve a social purpose,' van Leeuwen added. 'By copying someone else's behaviour, you show that you notice and maybe even like that individual. So, it might help strengthen social bonds and create a sense of belonging within the group, just like it does in humans.' As The Post previously reported, wild chimps in West Africa were recently caught on camera cracking open cold ones of their own — in the form of fermented African breadfruit laced with booze. Researchers from the University of Exeter spotted the buzzed behavior in Guinea-Bissau's Cantanhez National Park, where the furry foragers shared the fruit — which clocked in at a light 0.61% ABV — in what may be the original happy hour. 'For humans, we know that drinking alcohol leads to a release of dopamine and endorphins, and resulting feelings of happiness and relaxation,' ecologist Anna Bowland, lead author of the study, noted in her report. Experts say life in captivity gives chimps plenty of downtime — with meals delivered and no predators to dodge, they've got extra time to get weird. Kitch Bain – While the chimps likely didn't get tipsy off the low-proof fruit, scientists are digging into whether these jungle juice hangouts are rooted in early evolutionary bonding rituals. Overall, Charles Darwin never said evolution would be glamorous — just weirdly on-trend.
