Netflix Star Fends Off Thief in 'Epic' Security Footage originally appeared on Parade.
27-year-old Netflix star Genevieve Chenneour left fans thoroughly impressed after footage of her "epic" moment of self-defense against a thief went viral online.
The actress, known for her work as Miss Clara Livingston on Bridgerton, was standing with a friend in a Joe & the Juice located in West London back on Feb. 8 when the miscreant, who was identified by The Daily Mail as 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares, crept up behind her and casually slid her cell phone off of the counter next to her.
She noticed immediately, jumping into action with her friend to retrieve her property, beating him down to the ground with the device once it was back in her possession.
"They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did," the actress told the publication.
The Daily Mail obtained security footage from the shop, uploading the moment fit for an action film to TikTok yesterday, June 10, and fans "loved to see" the actress' "iconic" response.
"Well done to Genevieve for standing up for her property!" one praised.
"Miss Livingston is kicking ass love to see it," someone else said.
"I'm so proud of her," another fawned, as others agreed, "Good on her 💞," and, "👏🏽 👏🏽 Nicely done 🤣🖤."
"Bye that's so iconic," another fan said of the intense moment, while another declared, "He picked the wrong one that day. ❤️❤️❤️."
"The way he thought he was so slick has me cryingg😭😭😭," somebody else reacted.
Many also honed in on the way she weaponized the technology, with one comment reading, "PLEASE, they [sic] way she's smacking him with it 🤣🤣😭😭."
"Them phone shots to the ribs actually would hurt 🤣," someone else surmised, as others complimented, "I love that not only did she get her phone back she weaponized it 😫🤣," and "Recovered her stolen phone and used it to bludgeon the thief.

The Elvis Presley Performance That Outraged America
The Elvis Presley Performance That Outraged America originally appeared on Parade. Elvis Presley's performances were unlike anything Americans had seen before. The smooth crooners of the 1940s and 1950s couldn't compare to the raw energy of the King of Rock and Roll, whose provocative stage presence sent fans into a frenzy. One performance in particular, however, sparked national outrage as television viewers were left stunned by Presley's suggestive moves. Sixty-nine years ago, on June 5, 1956, the King of Rock and Roll made a second appearance on the Milton Berle Show. Presley appeared on the variety series one month prior, where he performed on the deck of the docked USS Hancockat the Naval Air Base in San Diego, California. Per Graceland's official website, for his second appearance, the entertainer appeared in a fun skit alongside Berle, singing his hit, "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You." Additionally, he performed the tune "Hound Dog" alongside his bandmates. Although Elvis had appeared on television before, he typically stuck to ballads or used his guitar to cover part of his body. But during this performance, he let loose completely, shaking his hips and gyrating with an energy that sent the in-studio audience into a frenzy. The website wrote, "The next day, the press had a field day skewering Elvis and his performance. A Catholic publication ran the 'Beware of Elvis Presley' headline, and major publications like the New York Times and the Daily News claimed Elvis had no talent beyond shaking his hips." Although the performance was controversial, it also contributed to the entertainer's rise to fame. It also solidified his status as a pop icon.

He alluded that despite how people perceived the king, Presley was "one of the nicest young men I ever met." Berle said that the singer's performance that night caused a disturbance unlike any he had seen prior. "About 10 days later, I got 500,000 pan letters. Not fan letters, pan letters." He continued, "Blaming me. 'We'll never watch you again when you put that vulgar man that jives and wiggles his backside. It's disgusting.' I had to get people to open them.'" "I called Colonel [Tom] Parker, [Presley's manager]," Berle added, telling him about the situation. "I told him, 'You have a star on your hands.'" Following the backlash from his appearance on The Milton Berle Show, Elvis was invited to perform on The Steve Allen Show on July 1. To tone down the controversy and show he wasn't a threat to public decency, he performed a brief, more comedic version of 'Hound Dog' while singing to a real basset hound on stage dressed in a full tuxedo.

What is wrong with Norah from Netflix's Ginny & Georgia? I think I know
New episodes of Ginny & Georgia season 3 went online on Thursday and there is practically no adolescent issue that this mother-daughter dramedy hasn't covered. Losing your virginity? Check. Getting into a huge fight with your bestie? Yep. Getting drunk at a house party? Got that covered. Learning that your mom killed your stepdad? Also check. Okay, maybe that last one isn't so typical, but you get the idea. So it's no surprise that in season 3 of Ginny & Georgia, the Netflix hit is tackling that infamous coming-of-age milestone: periods. For the past two seasons, fans have watched high schooler Ginny and her core group of girlfriends, Max, Abby, and Norah try to survive Wellsbury High. In classic teen show fashion, every character has their own issues. Max is a girl-crazy drama queen (literally, she's an actor), Abby is struggling with body dysmorphia and bulimia, and now, in season 3, Norah's got period problems. Throughout the newest season, Norah is either on her period, waiting for it, or complaining about it. 'My period is so irregular, I can't even predict when it's going to happen,' she says in episode 6, right before getting all of her friends to take pregnancy tests with her. The very next episode, her pregnancy scare is forgotten, but her mysterious period ailments continue. 'My mom took me to the gynae, which was pointless because they just ask me a hundred different questions. And you don't know your family history when you're adopted.' (Yep, the show also has an adoption subplot.) The doctors ran tests, Norah explained, but still can't figure out what's going on. Well, I have a pretty good guess. I first got my period when I was 11, and for five years, when doctors asked me if my periods were heavy or irregular, I shrugged and said, 'No.' I didn't know any better. What I didn't tell my peadiatrician was that I was bleeding through super tampons and maxi pads, staining my PJs and sheets, and downing painkillers to deal with my period cramps. Despite having two sisters and a whole gaggle of girlfriends, I truly thought that my period was normal because I had learned to live with it. I never thought to compare notes. Then one morning during a particularly heavy period, I took a step out of bed and a blood clot flew out of my underwear and onto the carpet. I had bled through the super plus tampon I was wearing and my overnight maxi pad. The next time my doctor asked me if my periods were heavy, I finally said, 'Yes.' Unlike Norah, I was overweight, so my doctor already suspected I had a hormonal issue and sent me to an endocrinologist straight away. A few doctors appointments and 8 to 10 vials worth of blood tests later, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). It's a hormone disorder believed to be hereditary that can cause, among other things, excess facial hair, heavy or irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, and ovarian cysts. Some women don't have a lot of symptoms; others have all of the above. At the time, the criteria for PCOS was extremely vague, and the possible treatments were basically nonexistent. (In case you need a reminder: Women's health is underfunded, under-researched, and undervalued.) Effective medical treatments for PCOS are hard to come by. When I asked about next steps, my doctor shrugged their shoulders, gave me a prescription for birth control, and told me to lose weight (which, oh, by the way, is harder to do when you have PCOS). Over 15 years later, it seems not much has changed. At the end of the season, Norah's period mystery remains unsolved. She doesn't know why her periods are irregular or why she has bad cramps. And after years of just dealing with it, she seems resigned to just barreling through. I feel her pain. While I assume that she'll get a hard-fought diagnosis of either PCOS or endometriosis in season 4, it's also possible that she'll never get the answers she's looking for. Ask any woman with PCOS or endometriosis and they'll tell you it took years for them to even go to a doctor to discuss period pain, let alone be diagnosed. And that's partly due to the fact that many women just don't know that these conditions exist. Period pain is often dismissed, and uterus-related conversations are still taboo. Even in teen shows like Gilmore Girls or Gossip Girl, characters don't acknowledge their periods until there's a pregnancy scare plot. Young women like Norah might not learn about PCOS or endometriosis from their friends or their mothers or even their doctors—so I'm hoping that at least for some teens and tweens, Norah's storyline on Ginny & Georgia can fill in the gaps. And if a hormone disorder is the cause of her period problems, I hope she gets diagnosed faster than I did.
