Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

'It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f—?'' Paris, 32, said.
'Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away,'' she added. 'So that's what I decided to do.'

Paris split from Powell, 36, around April 2023 after he was seen getting flirty with Sweeney, 27, on the set of their rom-com. The stars continued to spark romance rumors when they promoted the film leading up to its Dec. 2023 release.
'I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public,' Paris explained.
'Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?'

The model continued: 'And at the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first. And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs.'
Paris then slammed Powell for not denying the rumors about him and Sweeney.
'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said,' Paris stated. 'And that wasn't said … Never once.'

'It was serving them for their PR,' she further alleged about Powell and Sweeney. 'Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy.'
Paris added, 'Just to sell a movie or not, who knows? And I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot.'

Paris also claimed that Powell dumped her when he was in Australia filming 'Anyone But You.'
'He called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit.' … And that's when I hung up. And I was like, 'This motherf–-er is done to me,'' she said.
'Once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done,' added Paris. 'I had lost whoever that person was that I loved.'

The Post has reached out to Powell and Sweeney's reps for comment.
Both Powell and Sweeney have confirmed they leaned into the romance rumors to market 'Anyone But You.'
'That's people wanting what's on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully,' Powell told the New York Times in April 2024.

A year before, Sweeney told Variety, 'It's a rom-com. That's what people want! Glen and I don't really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much.'
The romance rumors resurfaced in March when Sweeney attended Powell's sister Leslie Powell's wedding in Texas amid rumors that she split from fiancé Jonathan Davino, 41.

Shortly after the wedding, it was confirmed that the 'Euphoria' star and the film producer called off their wedding.
'She's not ready to settle down,' an insider told People on March 31. 'They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.'
Last month, Sweeney told The Times that she was officially single.

'I'm learning a lot about myself,' Sweeney expressed at the time. 'Spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.'
Powell, meanwhile, played coy when asked about Sweeney attending his sister's wedding on 'Today With Jenna & Friends' on April 2.
'You know, timing is everything in this world,' he said while laughing. '[Leslie] and Syd are obviously great friends and it was a hell of a wedding.'

12-Year-Old Dog Left at Shelter by Family 'Wondering Where He Went Wrong'
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. A senior dog taken back to the shelter by his family was left confused about what had happened to his previous life, shattering the internet's heart. The 12-year-old Labrador mix, Hugo, was brought to the London Animal Care Centre on April 16 by his previous family. His entire world turned upside down. The animal shelter, known on Instagram as @londonanimalcare, shared in Tuesday's video how Hugo now spends most of his days—sleeping on his tiny cot with his head down and his eyes filled with confusion. After 12 years of living with his family, he was left alone in a kennel, "wondering where he went wrong." He went from going on adventures and having warm snuggles with his family to adjusting to a loud and chaotic shelter environment. The recent video explained that Hugo, luckily, settled into his new life at the shelter "in no time." The senior dog thrives on routine and loves to patrol the yard, keeping it safe from squirrels, but he can also be found napping in his bed. Despite his age and prominent gray hairs on his snoot, the shelter called him a "young-at-heart kind of guy" on the website. He still shows off his energy, as he loves running around. He enjoys making noise with his barks and will sometimes pull on the leash if he spots something, but with extra training, the shelter believes he'll be a walking expert in no time. Newsweek reached out to @londonanimalcare via Instagram for additional comment. Screenshots from a June 10 Instagram video of a 12-year-old Labrador mix waiting for a new home after his previous owners surrendered him to the London shelter.

Instagram users flooded the comment section with their disappointment over the family abandoning him. The clip amassed over 12,100 views and 547 likes as of Thursday. "This is just heartbreaking. People pray for more time with their fur babies, they don't drop them off at the shelter when it's time that they need us.. the owners should be ashamed. I hope he finds his family soon," wrote one viewer. Another asked: "How could someone abandon this sweet soul in his golden years?!?" A third person said: "Just look at that sweet little face!!"

Dua Lipa Is 'Obsessed' With Her Engagement Ring From Callum Turner
It's official! Dua Lipa is gearing up to walk down the aisle with Callum Turner, and she can't stop raving about it. The sensational singer recently confirmed her engagement to the actor in an interview, sharing her excitement for the future and the details behind her exceptional ring. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner first sparked dating rumors in January 2024 before sending fans into detective mode that year's December when the "One Kiss" hitmaker posed with a stunning gem on her left ring finger. Lipa did not hold back when asked to clarify her relationship status with Turner, declaring: "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." She revealed that her fiancé had customized the perfect ring by consulting with her sister and best friends, a decision she was very pleased with. "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well," Lipa said about the gem. She added that she initially wasn't the type to fuss over wedding preparations, but her relationship with Turner had changed her in many ways. Lipa told British Vogue that she never understood the weight of an engagement until it happened to her. "This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling," she raved. When asked about her preparations for her trip down the aisle, Lipa revealed that she and Turner were not ready to say their vows. She noted their busy schedules planned a part in their decision to postpone their wedding ceremony, saying: "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" Lipa and Turner sparked romance speculations in January 2024 after the paparazzi spotted them together in London. They were seen looking chummy following the "Masters of the Air" debut, with PEOPLE reporting that they were caught slow dancing at the event's afterparty. Following their first romantic sighting, Lipa and Turner fueled the romance rumors by sharing a steamy kiss during a date at Sushi Park in Los Angeles. They shared more PDA-filled moments but kept fans guessing about their relationship status until July 2024. That month, Lipa and Turner confirmed their love for each other by making their Instagram debut as a couple. The singer shared multiple pictures and videos from their time at the Glastonbury Festival. A year later, in 2025, the adorable duo made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala. Like Lipa, Turner has achieved success as a British entertainer. He was reportedly raised as an only child by a single mom in the Chelsea neighborhood of London, while his half-brother and half-sister grew up in Australia. He has starred in multiple movies, including 2018's "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" and 2023's "The Boys in the Boat." Six months before Lipa confirmed her engagement to Turner, The Blast shared that she teased fans with a picture of her stunning ring. She shared a festive shot of herself rocking an oversized jacket and reindeer antlers, with the gem sitting prettily on her left ring finger. Although her caption only noted that she was home for the holidays, a source confirmed the news, claiming Lipa and Turner were engaged and happy. "Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally, and this is the cherry on the cake," they said, adding: "Callum is such a solid support for Dua, and they make a wonderful couple. Their family and friends are so happy. It's been an amazing Christmas for them." Lipa's engagement marked a significant milestone in her relationship history as she tested the dating pool a few times before finding the perfect match in Turner. Harper's Bazaar covered her past partners, noting the singer dated French film director Romain Gavras a year before her romance with Turner. The pair kept their relationship low-key and did not confirm they were a couple until the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. They attended the event as a couple that year in May and separated months later, toward the end of 2023. Before Gavras, Lipa made waves for her two-year romance with Anwar Hadid. The singer and the model became romantically linked in June 2019 and even quarantined together during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Unfortunately, their relationship fell apart by the end of 2021 despite them proudly celebrating their one-year anniversary and adopting a dog. Will Dua Lipa and Callum Turner keep fans in the loop about their wedding plans, or will they secretly tie the knot?

Dua Lipa confirms long-speculated engagement to actor Callum Turner, gushes over decision to ‘grow old together'
Dua Lipa has officially confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner. The 'Training Season' singer, 29, spoke of their plans to wed in the July issue of British Vogue. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' she said. 'It's very exciting.' Lipa's confirmation of the engagement comes six months after fans first speculated that Turner, 35, had proposed. In an Instagram post made by Lipa on Dec. 24, eagle-eyed fans noticed what appeared to be a diamond ring on her finger. The singer continued sporting the ring, often posting photos that featured it on her Instagram. She never formally addressed the speculation until now. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me,' she told British Vogue of the ring, which Turner had made after receiving input from Lipa's best friends and sister, Rina. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' The British pop star admitted that, until now, she'd 'never really understood the weight' of getting engaged. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling,' she told British Vogue. Lipa and Turner were first spotted together in January 2024 after the London premiere of the miniseries Masters of the Air, in which the actor stars. They were reportedly seen slow dancing at the event's afterparty. Romance rumors continued to mount in the following months, as they were seen stepping out together: They were spotted sharing a kiss at Sushi Park in Los Angeles and packed on the PDA during a walk in Beverly Hills. Lipa made their romance Instagram official in July 2024, when she included Turner in a post from Glastonbury Festival. Since then, the Fantastic Beasts actor has consistently made appearances on Lipa's Instagram. They've yet to set a wedding date, but Lipa is considering what she'd want to wear for the special occasion. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she told British Vogue. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamed about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' While they're typically private about their relationship, Turner mentioned the singer in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2025. The 35-year-old actor was in attendance for the premiere of his forthcoming film Eternity when a reporter asked him who he'd want to spend eternity with. 'My girlfriend,' he replied with a smile. Lipa and Turner made their Met Gala debut as a couple in May. The Radical Optimism singer most recently featured Turner in an Instagram photo dump on June 9.
