The news quickly sparked online debate. One user remarked, 'Sounds like a luxury vacation with extra steps,' while others questioned the timing of the visit, linking it to West's appearance at the recent Diddy trial in Manhattan federal court. The rapper reportedly watched about 40 minutes of the hearing from a private room.

Are they going to plead insanity because a bunch of people think they are the other celebrity couple that was mentioned during the Diddy trial? pic.twitter.com/bHN4SX5JJG — ∞꒒꒐꓄꓄꒒ꏂ ꒤ꍌ꒒ꌦ∞ (@Voxilar) June 18, 2025

Public reaction has been divided. Some speculate the move is a strategic effort to repair his public image, while others support the decision as a step toward healing. 'Even billionaires need silence,' one user commented in support. Others criticized the commercialization of wellness, citing the facility's high fees.

This move shows they're seeking healing, not headlines.

This development follows several controversies involving West, including a string of inflammatory social media posts. His recent independent release of the song 'Heil Hitler' in May drew international backlash and led to bans on various platforms due to its anti-Semitic content.

Earlier this year, West stated on social media that his prior bipolar disorder diagnosis was incorrect, and that he is actually autistic. According to The Guardian, he credited Bianca with encouraging him to seek re-evaluation.
Meanwhile, rumors of marital issues have circulated. A source close to the couple told RadarOnline the timing of their facility stay may be aimed at shifting the narrative amid legal issues and reputational damage.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice triggers ‘No Space for Bezos' protests lrom locals

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's upcoming wedding in Venice has drawn sharp criticism from local activists, who say the event symbolises the city's transformation into a playground for the global elite. The three-day celebration, set for June 26–28 , is expected to host around 200 high-profile guests, including Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, and members of the Kardashian family. But not all Venetians are looking forward to hosting the wedding in their city. A protest group has launched a campaign titled 'No Space for Bezos,' using banners, wall stickers and a prominent display on St. Mark's Tower featuring Bezos' name crossed out in red. Organisers accuse the billionaire of contributing to the city's gentrification and pricing out its long-time residents. Protesters in Venice raised an anti-Jeff Bezos banner and released a blue flare from the Basilica of San Giogio, ahead of the American billionaire's upcoming nuptials to his fiancé Lauren Sanchez — Reuters (@Reuters) June 13, 2025 'This wedding is the symbol of the exploitation of the city by outsiders,' Federica Toninelli, one of the activists, told Reuters. Protesters have threatened to block access to the canals and narrow streets used for the event's venues. Venice mayor Luigi Brugnaro responded by expressing disappointment over the backlash. 'We will have to apologise to Bezos,' he said, calling the protesters unrepresentative of the city's general sentiment. If it goes ahead as planned, the wedding will be Venice's largest celebrity nuptial since George Clooney's marriage to Amal Alamuddin in 2014.

BTS fans rally for Korean adoptees

K-pop megaband BTS is back from military service, and their international fandom — long known for its progressive activism — is celebrating by rallying behind a cause: adoptees from South Korea. Now Asia's fourth-largest economy and a global cultural powerhouse, the idols' native South Korea remains one of the biggest exporters of adopted babies in the world, having sent more than 140,000 children overseas between 1955 and 1999. The country only recently acknowledged, after years of activism by adult adoptees, that the government was responsible for abuse in some such adoptions of local children, including record fabrication and inadequate consent from birth parents. The septet's fandom, dubbed ARMY, is known for backing causes like Black Lives Matter and ARMY4Palestine, and launched the #ReuniteWithBTS fundraising project last week to support Korean adoptees seeking to reconnect with or learn about their birth families, which can be a painful and legally tricky process. Almost all of BTS members have completed South Korea's mandatory military service, required of all men due to the country's military tensions with North Korea. "We are celebrating both the reunion of BTS and ARMY, and BTS members being able to reunite with their own family and friends," the BTS fan group behind the initiative, One In An ARMY, told AFP. "Helping international adoptees reunite with their birth country, culture, customs and families seemed like the perfect cause to support during this time." The fans are supporting KoRoot, a Seoul-based organisation that helps Korean adoptees search for their records and birth families and which played a key role in pushing for the government to recognise adoption-related abuses. Peter Moller, KoRoot's co-representative, told AFP it was "very touching" that the BTS fans had taken up the cause, even though "they're not even adoptees themselves". For many adoptees, seeing Korean stars in mainstream media has been a way for them to find "comfort, joy, and a sense of pride" in the roots that they were cut off from, KoRoot's leader Kim Do-hyun added. Soft power BTS, who have discussed anti-Asian hate crimes at the White House and spoken candidly about mental health, have long been considered one of the best examples of South Korea's soft power reach. For years, Korean adoptees — many of whom were adopted by white families globally — have advocated for their rights and spoken out about encountering racism in their host countries. Some adoptees, such as the high-profile case of Adam Crapser, were later deported to South Korea as adults because their American parents never secured their US citizenship. Many international adoptees feel their immigration experience has been "fraught", Keung Yoon Bae, a Korean studies professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, told AFP. Some adoptees have found that, like Crapser, their guardians failed to complete the necessary paperwork to make them legal, she said. This is becoming a particular problem under US President Donald Trump, who is pushing a sweeping crackdown on purported illegal immigrants. Bae said it was possible that "'accidentally illegal' adoptee immigrants may fall further through the cracks, and their deeply unfortunate circumstances left unremedied". The whale Reunions between Korean adoptees and their birth families can be emotionally complex, as Kara Bos — who grew up in the United States — experienced firsthand when she met her biological father through a landmark paternity lawsuit. During their encounter in Seoul in 2020, he refused to remove his hat, sunglasses, or mask, declined to look at her childhood photos and offered no information about her mother. He died around six months later. "The journey of birth family searching is very lonely, difficult, and costly. Many adoptees do not even have the means to return to their birth country let alone fund a family search," Bos, 44, told AFP. To have BTS fans rally around adoptees and provide help with this complex process is "a wonderful opportunity", she said. For Malene Vestergaard, a 42-year-old Korean adoptee and BTS fan in Denmark, the group's song "Whalien 52", which references a whale species whose calls go unheard by others, deeply resonated with her. "I personally sometimes feel like that whale. Being amongst my peers, but they will never be able to truly understand what my adoption has done to me," she told AFP. "For me, finding BTS at the same time I started looking for my birth family and the truth about my adoption and my falsified papers, was such a comfort." Vestergaard said the grief woven into her adoption would never go away, but that "BTS and their lyrics have made it easier to reconcile with that truth".
