Victoria Justice received 'death threats"' over a viral meme with Ariana Grande: 'We did all sing!'

Yahoo14-05-2025
Victoria Justice received "death threats" over a viral meme. The 32-year-old actress had the starring role in the musical series 'Victorious', but it was her co-star Ariana Grande who went onto an incredibly successful pop career after the Nickelodeon sitcom ended, and when an old interview of Victoria insisting that she and her castmates "all sing" went viral, she "got so much hate" at a time she was just trying to live her own life. Speaking on the YouTube series 'Mythical Kitchen', she said: "There was a time for so long on the Internet where I felt like people hated me. "There was that whole meme thing from when I was 16 or 17. First of all, it was factual, we did all sing! What do you want from me? I am speaking the facts! "I don't even know how many years later it was when that [went viral] and I got so much hate. I was just trying to work, live. I don't know. It was wild. I got so much hate, and death threats. I felt so bad for my mom, she was freaking out." Nowadays, the former 'Zoey 101' star doesn't mind it at all because she feels as if she is "in on the joke" but insisted that there was a time that she felt "hated" by those online. "I'm always like 'Oh, whatever!' People are gonna say what they're gonna say. It really...it took on a life of its own and became a thing. And now it's funny, I don't care I'm in on the joke. I even say it myself, I don't care, whatever. "But it was definitely a thing where it was like 'the internet hates Victoria Justice right now'." Victoria will next be seen in the upcoming comedy crime film 'California King', but explained that the "pressure" she felt as a child star to carry a brand has never really left her. She said: "I've loved it. It's so much fun. A part of that kind of sticks with you, growing up, knowing that you're carrying a huge brand on your back. Knowing that you are being viewed as a role model to a lot of young people and being on the cover of teen magazines and whatnot, and that sort of thing, having that sort of pressure and wanting to live up those standards an carry all that well never leaves you. Sometimes I curse and I'm like 'Is that okay...?' "Not really though, I feel like it's been a natural progression as well. I ended the show when I was 20, and so I was very much an adult at that point and ready to move on and do adult things."

Inside Terence Stamp's Family: A look at his personal life

Legendary British actor Terence Stamp, who passed away in August 2025 at the age of 87, was admired worldwide for his remarkable career on stage and screen. While his professional life was widely celebrated, his family background and personal connections also played a significant role in shaping the man behind the spotlight. Early Life and Family Background Terence Henry Stamp was born on July 22, 1938, in Stepney, London, England, into a working-class family. He was the eldest of five children born to Ethel Esther Perrott (1914–1987) and Thomas Stamp (1912–2005), a tugboat stoker who was often away at sea due to his work in the Merchant Navy. Growing up during the Blitz in London's East End, Stamp's childhood was marked by resilience and introspection, shaped by the challenges of wartime. His mother, Ethel, played a significant role in raising the family, fostering a close bond with her children. Stamp's younger brother, Chris Stamp (1942–2012), was a notable figure in the music industry, known for co-managing The Who and founding Track Records. While Terence kept the identities of his other siblings private, his working-class roots and strong family ties influenced his grounded yet introspective personality. His early fascination with cinema began at age three, when his mother took him to see Beau Geste , sparking a lifelong passion for acting. Terence Stamp's Marriage to Elizabeth O'Rourke Terence Stamp's only marriage was to Elizabeth O'Rourke, an Australian pharmacy student, whom he met in the mid-1990s at a chemist shop in Bondi, New South Wales. The couple married on New Year's Eve 2002, when Stamp was 64 and O'Rourke was 29, a 35-year age difference that drew public attention. Despite initial reluctance from O'Rourke due to her parents' concerns about the age gap, their relationship blossomed, and Stamp expressed a desire to start a family. However, the couple did not have children. Their marriage lasted six years, ending in divorce in April 2008, with O'Rourke citing Stamp's 'unreasonable behaviour' as the reason for the split. In a 2013 interview with the Daily Mail , Stamp reflected on the marriage, saying, 'We had an incredible amount of fun. She went back to Australia, and that's why I don't see her, but if I do go there, I'm sure I will.' He expressed sadness over the breakup but noted that time had softened the impact. Stamp's reflections reveal a man who valued the connection but accepted its end with philosophical grace. Father-Son Dynamics and Reflections on Fatherhood Stamp's relationship with his father, Thomas, was complex due to his father's frequent absences during his childhood. In a 2025 YouTube interview, Stamp shared heartfelt reflections on father-son dynamics, shaped by his experience as an only child in the context of his parents' roles. He spoke of the warmth of his mother's love and the generational shifts in parenting, offering insights into how familial bonds shaped his emotional journey. Despite his colorful romantic history, Stamp never had children. In later years, he expressed a growing curiosity about fatherhood, particularly the idea of having a daughter. In the Daily Mail interview, he said, 'Just these past 10 years I've thought it must be really wonderful to have a daughter.' However, he acknowledged that his age made fatherhood unlikely, a reflection that revealed his introspective nature. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Tristan Rogers, who played super spy Robert Scorpio on ‘General Hospital,' dies at 79

Tristan Rogers, who played legacy character Robert Scorpio on ABC's 'General Hospital,' died Friday, less than one month after he made a special appearance on the soap opera. He was 79. 'The entire 'General Hospital' family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers' passing,' said Frank Valentini, the show's executive producer, in a statement. 'Tristan has captivated our fans for 45 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio).' Born in Melbourne, Australia, Rogers' first foray into performing was in his early twenties and playing drums in a rock band with a group of friends. They weren't successful so Rogers turned to commercial work and modeling to earn some money. When the band dissolved, Rogers decided to give acting a try. After various roles in Australia, he also worked as a DJ and eventually moved to Los Angeles to try to break into Hollywood. He said casting directors were initially turned off by his accent but he eventually landed a two-day role on 'General Hospital' in 1980. 'I had no idea at the point how big the show was,' Rogers told fellow 'General Hospital' actor Maurice Benard on the YouTube show, 'State of Mind with Maurice Benard' in 2022. 'I had no name. I was brought in expressly to beat up the hero, Luke, (played by Anthony Geary), and then disappear,' Rogers said. His first day was half-over when then-executive producer Gloria Monty asked if he would like to stay on. They had no character written for him so for three weeks Monty asked him to just appear in scenes 'looking furtive, looking suspicious' until they came up with a storyline. It was decided he would play a spy known as 'CK8' and eventually he was given the name Robert Scorpio. The character would remain a fixture in Port Charles for the rest of Rogers' life, even when he wasn't a current cast member. Scorpio's on again/off again romance with Emma Samms' character, Holly Sutton, remained a favorite among fans. Scorpio also had a romance, and many storylines with another spy, Anna Devane, played by Finola Hughes. Scorpio and Devane shared a daughter, Robin, played by Kimberly McCullough. Samms returned to the show for a stint last fall where it was revealed that Scorpio was the father of her adult daughter, Sasha Gilmore (played by Sofia Mattson.) Rogers and Samms left the show together in November 2024 in scenes taped with a nod to 'Casablanca.' He returned to the show in July for one episode when Sasha arrived to his home in France with her new baby. It was then revealed that Rogers had lung cancer Rogers' other acting credits include 'The Bold and the Beautiful,' 'The Young & the Restless' and 'Studio City,' which won him outstanding supporting actor in a digital drama series at the Daytime Emmy Awards. He is survived by his wife, Teresa Parkerson, and a daughter and a son.
