Bronny James raises eyebrows with comment on GF Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures as he skips Luka Doncic event

Bronny James raises eyebrows with comment on GF Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures as he skips Luka Doncic event (Image Credit:) On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers confirmed $165 million, 3-year contract with Luka Doncic. Top executives like GM Rob Pelinka, coach JJ Reddick, and a few Lakers players were at the press conference Luka attended after the confirmation. But Bronny James and his father, LeBron James, were conspicuously absent from the event, giving way to another round of speculations around their position in the team. On the personal front, Bronny showered love on her girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures. He posted a two-word comment on her latest pictures after calling her 'my girlfriend' previously. Though spotted rarely with Parker, Bronny's engagement with his girlfriend's Instagram posts has deepened for quite some time, fueling rumors around their relationship. Bronny James draws criticism for giving Luka Doncic signing announcement event a miss Both James duo members, LeBron James and Bronny James, conspicuously missed Luka Doncic's press conference, which was to follow the Los Angeles Lakers' announcement of his three-year contract extension worth $165 million. NBA veteran Dan Patrick, on his talk show, called out Bronny for missing the event. He said: 'The one person who I thought should have been there was his son. Bronny James, if he wants to stay longer after LeBron leaves, that's your teammate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton's Daring Outfit Took Prince William's Breath Away Crowdy Fan Undo Bronny James should have been there. You're the last guy on the roster. You should be there.' Dan Patrick's comments were mentioned by NBA Central's tweet. The tweet read: 'Dan Patrick criticizes Bronny James for not attending Luka Dončić's press conference "Bronny James should've been there. You're the last guy on the roster, you should be there."' As per his opinion, Bronny requires more attendance at the team's events like these, should he want to learn more about the NBA environment firsthand. If he plans to stay with the Lakers for long, such events should be taken seriously by newcomers to the NBA, Patrick thought. Since the reports about the possible trades of LeBron James and Bronny James are swirling over time, the absence of the James duo ignites a fresh spark of speculation around their status on the team. Meanwhile, Bronny showed his loyalty on another unexpected platform, and it had something to do with his private life. Bronny James comments on his girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures Though Bronny James could not make it to Luka Doncic's event, he managed to drop a loving comment on his girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures. Bronny commented, 'Muy Bonita' on the latest phot dump of Parker. Parker gave a glimpse into her vacation time she is enjoying at a scenic location. It drew endearing comments from her supporters and friends, with Bronny James taking the lead. His comment showed that the Los Angeles Lakers rising star is taking a deep interest in his girlfriend's whereabouts. Though they are not spotted together offline often, Bronny is seen actively engaging with his girlfriend's Instagram updates in recent times. Previously, he sort of confirmed his relationship status by writing, 'My girlfriend', on Parker's pictures. Why Bronny James and LeBron James gave a miss to Luka Doncic's event and where Bronny's relationship with Parker Whitefield heads in the coming times are the two important questions looming over every James' duo loyal fans. Only official statements from the two can clear the air on these matters.

Is Tollywood normalising open discussions on period pain?

KOLKATA: Debates over open discussions of menstrual issues have recently swept through Tollywood. The portrayal of period pain in 'Dear Maa' marks the first time a Tollywood film has addressed menstrual concerns such as cramps, while also emphasizing the importance of men's empathy and support during menstruation. Many have praised this initiative, noting that the screenplay—written by two men—signals a shift in how Tollywood approaches these topics. Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury recalls studying in a coeducational school where he was forever empathetic to such concerns. 'I have a big number of friends from the opposite gender. They had no inhibitions about talking about cramps with us. No one raised their eyebrows if I offered a gentle massage to help them deal with period pain. Since my cinema is a reflection of my personal experience, writing such a scene with Shakyajit (Bhattacharya) where a spouse offers a hot water bag came naturally to me,' the director said. Dialogue writer Sakyajit Bhattacharya, who co-wrote the story and screenplay with the director, said, 'We are all used to partners having cramps and mood swings. Writing this scene came naturally. Everything was completely internalised and not intended as a statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo We didn't write anything to please the audience. Sometimes, we ourselves need to come up with things that start a conversation. While many have told me about the scene where the protagonist mentions that the feeling of motherhood doesn't come naturally to her, nobody separately pointed out this scene to me. ' You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Kolkata-based author and screenwriter Samragnee Bandyopadhyay told TOI that having such a scene definitely facilitates normalising dialogues on such issues. 'It is also because the scene came naturally and not in an underlined didactic tone! It is commendable that two men wrote the script. This just shows that all the genders are trying to get empathetic towards each other,' Bandyopadhyay said. She also recalls a scene from 'Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti' where there was a song sequence and the protagonist played by Ritabhari Chakraborty offered a hot water bag to the house help who was having a cramp that day and was finding it difficult to mop the floor. 'A male director, Aritra Mukherjee, directed the film although the screenplay and the dialogues were written by two women,' she added. Yet, it might be too early to celebrate since not a single viewer has pointed at this scene while talking to the director and writer when they discussed what they liked about 'Dear Maa'. Instead of interpreting it as a sign of subtle awkwardness, Bhattacharya would rather see it as an index of how normalised this subject has become for viewers. M any have wondered if 'Dear Maa' will help normalise conversations about menstruation, somewhat similar to Akshay Kumar's 'Padman' and his advertisement that combine anti-smoking messages with menstrual hygiene advocacy. Tumpa Mukherjee, assistant professor of sociology at Women's Christian College, views this as a welcome change. 'Speaking about these issues is still taboo in many strata of our society. Not just men, women too are still uncomfortable about sharing these details. There is an awkward silence about this even among the upper middle class. To not worry about how the audience will take to this depiction is a welcome change. A Bollywood hero like Akshay Kumar has done a film like 'Padman' and also the commercial promoting menstrual hygiene. Having more Bengali films where male protagonists are empathetic to such issues will depict a shift in the way society normalises these things,' Mukherjee said. Interestingly, not everyone is comfortable with the idea of such open discussions with men other than their spouses. The month when "Dear Maa" was released also saw a reaction from acclaimed actress Mamata Shankar. In an interview, she expressed her reluctance to encourage open discussions about sanitary napkins with men other than her spouse. Her son, musician and actor Ratul Shankar, is fine with the idea of showcasing such scenes between couples in Bengali cinema. 'Offering a hot water bag to my spouse is as normal as offering a hot water bottle. I am fine with that depiction on screen. I am open to cinema's depiction of men who are empathetic to their spouse's period pain, though I do not support any exaggeration or attempt to turn it into activism."
