Golden Retriever Has Enough of Dog's Tantrum—Proceeds to Silence Her
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
A video of a neighbor's golden retriever, fed up with listening to a dog having a tantrum over a treat, stepped in to mediate the situation, leaving viewers in stitches.
In a June 5 Instagram video posted to the account @manhattanmillie333, two dogs stood next to the kitchen counter. The owner's golden mountain dog—a cross between a golden retriever and Bernese mountain dog—named Millie—spotted a special treat on the counter that she couldn't stop thinking about. With her nonstop whining, Millie threw a "begging tantrum" in hopes the owner would cave.
The owner told Newsweek via Instagram that Millie was begging for Laughing Cow cheese, served on crackers. It is one of her "favorite snacks." All she wanted was a little nibble, and when she wasn't getting any, she made sure her owner knew how she felt.
Meanwhile, the neighbor's golden retriever, Lola, couldn't care less about the treat. She was sick of listening to Millie's cries. Taking matters into her own paws, Lola stood up and attempted to console Millie. She placed her paw on Millie's back, and then on her head and snout, because one touch wasn't enough to stop the whining.

With a serious look on her face, Lola warned Millie not to beg again. She had seen enough. Plus, she knew firsthand that begging gets you nowhere when food is involved. If either were to be granted a piece of cheese, they needed to relax.
Lola's reaction caught the owner off guard. She said she was impressed by Lola's discipline, especially for a golden retriever.
"Lola is usually very goofy, so I was surprised she was scolding Millie for being impatient," the owner said.
The Instagram video reached over 1.9 million views as of Tuesday, with viewers cracking up over Lola's ability to calmly ask her doggy friend to stop and silence her, at least for a moment. She was only looking out for both of their best interests.
"Now THAT'S an emotional support dog," wrote one person.
Another added: "That's a well-mannered dog! She can come over more!"
Others flooded the comment section with what Lola was likely thinking: "Chill, don't embarrass yourself, stay calm and she'll give u sum."

'Project Runway' alum alleges Andy Cohen was more of a 'predator' on set than Harvey Weinstein
Project Runway is back on the air again, which seems to have prompted one alum to air her grievances against the show and former executive producer Andy Cohen. Season 5 contestant Kenley Collins opened up in an explosive social media post, criticizing the reality TV design competition and comparing Cohen to convicted sexual predator Harvey Weinstein. 'Do you guys really think Harvey Weinstein was the worst one on set? Andy Cohen was,' Collins alleges in a series of videos she posted on her Instagram account. The Weinstein Company produced the early seasons of the show when it was airing on Bravo, and Cohen, who Collins alleges was a 'predator' on set, was also an executive producer from 2004 to 2008. 'Andy Cohen was disgusting, horrible, worst, predator with the gays, hopping around the set like, 'Hey Twinks!' Collins alleged. The Project Runway and All Stars alum claims that she witnessed the longtime Bravo host and producer of 'propositioning designers to have a threesome.' 'We called you 'The Gay Weinstein,' acting like a f*cking clown on set,' Collins said. The 37-year-old fashion designer also brought up allegations made by Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene Leakes and referenced the ongoing court cases that have claimed Cohen is guilty of establishing a hostile workplace. 'NBC can pay all the money in the world to cover your ass after Nene spoke the truth about you,' Kenley continued. 'You're a racist predator. You're finished.' Although she dropped her lawsuit in 2022, Leakes claimed that Cohen and other network executives from Bravo and NBC Universal violated federal employment and anti-discrimination laws by fostering "a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,' People reported. But she isn't the only one who alleges that Cohen and other producers are bad actors. Former Real Housewives of New York City star Leah McSweeney has an ongoing lawsuit against Cohen, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, production company Shed Media US, and two producers who she alleges exploited her addiction while she was on the show. In March, the judge dismissed all of the charges except for three of McSweeney's disability-related claims, and an outside investigation into the claims that McSweeney and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville made against Cohen was 'found to be unsubstantiated.' In a follow-up post on Instagram, Collins thanked her fans for their support and alluded to the possibility that she would reveal more details in the future. 'It's been a scary yet freeing past few days. I'm not stopping. There is more to come,' she captioned the post. 'Thank you guys for the love and support. I did not expect that. I'm very touched. Stay tuned.' Cohen did not immediately respond to PRIDE's request for comment.

Brad Pitt's Mom Once Gushed About How 'Proud' She Was of Him
Brad Pitt's Mom Once Gushed About How 'Proud' She Was of Him originally appeared on Parade. Brad Pitt's mother, Jane Etta, once gushed about how "proud" she was of her son's philanthropic work years before her death at the age of 84. Over the years, Brad, 61, has been sure to take advantage of his platform by helping those in need. In 2009, he and his siblings, Doug Pitt and Julie Pitt, donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital. The money helped the organization open a new wing named after their mother called the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center. The donation helped make history when the hospital hired the first pediatric oncologist and hematologist in the southwest Missouri region. In 2018, Jane spoke to WorldServe International and praised her children from helping those in need. 'I'm very proud of all my children. They see a need and try to step in and fill it,' she said at the time. 'Whether it's a disaster in New Orleans [which Brad helped with], or all the things in Tanzania that Doug does do, or Julie's wonderful, wonderful work in Ethiopia. It's an amazing thing.' It seems that Brad and his siblings may have been inspired to get involved in philanthropy following Jane's lead. Doug, 58, founded the ServiceWorld Computer Center in 1991, which both he and Jane were heavily involved with. Brad's brother also founded Care to Learn, which helps students. Additionally, Doug has served as the Goodwill Ambassador of Tanzania since 2010.

WWE Star Reportedly Removed From Internal Roster
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An update has been provided on the status of injured WWE Raw superstar Austin Theory. According to a new report from the former United States Champion has been removed from the company's internal active roster. This move comes after Theory was written off television with a storyline injury two weeks ago. The removal from the active roster is a standard procedural step for a performer who is sidelined for an extended period. Removed From The Active Roster The PWInsider report, citing WWE sources, confirms that Theory is no longer on the internal list of talent available to be booked for television or live events. It is important to note that this does not mean he has been released from his WWE contract. Wrestlers recovering from legitimate, long-term injuries are typically taken off the active roster list until they are medically cleared to return to action. The specific nature and severity of Theory's injury, and a potential timeline for his return, have not yet been publicly disclosed. Fightful Select reports that he's listed with the other injured talent like Zoey Stark and Ilja Dragunov. An Abrupt End To A-Town Down Under Theory's injury has been woven into a major new storyline. On the July 21st episode of Monday Night Raw, his tag team partner, Grayson Waller, announced that their team, A-Town Down Under, was officially "done" due to Theory being on the shelf. HOUSTON, TEXAS - MARCH 11: A general stadium view during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas. HOUSTON, TEXAS - MARCH 11: A general stadium view during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas. Waller showed no sympathy for his partner. He has since been seen on Raw attempting to form new alliances and has cut a scathing social media promo, claiming he "wasted two years" of his career making Theory relevant. This on-screen betrayal sets up a major grudge feud for when Theory is eventually cleared to return. A Career of Highs and Lows Austin Theory's WWE career has been a rollercoaster. He was initially pushed as the hand-picked protégé of Vince McMahon and became the youngest United States Champion and Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history. However, his momentum stalled after an infamous failed cash-in attempt and a brutal promo from John Cena on the road to WrestleMania 39. He was successfully repackaged alongside Grayson Waller, and the arrogant duo captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 40. This latest injury and the split from Waller mark another major turning point in the career of the talented 28-year-old. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
