She puts the frisk in 'stop and frisk.'
OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue has purportedly been arrested in the UK — but skeptics claim the controversial content creator was merely staging a stunt to garner publicity.
The 26-year-old, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was given a patdown by a police officer in video posted to her Instagram page, alllegedly uploaded by her sister.

'As you may have seen, Tia has been arrested,' the sibling wrote beneath the footage, shared on Wednesday. 'We still don't have clarity on the situation but will keep you all in the loop as soon as we know. Thanks for all of the support in the last 24 hours. This isn't something we wanted to get out but it seems there is no privacy for her anymore.'
She signed off: 'Your's (sic) sincerely, Tia's Sister.'

In the short clip, Blue is seen standing up against a police vehicle as she is frisked by a cop. A male companion is also seen being inspected by police.
'Stop talking to each other for a minute while we work this out, okay?' an officer orders to the pair.
It's unclear what the duo were being 'arrested' for.

Fans flocked to the comments section beneath the post to express concern for the content creator, wondering whether she was in custody.
'FREE BONNIE,' one implored, while others sent their well wishes to her family.
Some speculated that Blue may have been busted for bedding someone underage, while others implored the kinky creator — who infamously slept with 1057 men in one day — be added to the sex offenders registry by the police.

However, other eagle-eyed followers claimed it was simply a stunt.
'RO23 HRM is owned by 'Police Car Hire UK' operated by 'Blue Light Emergency Group,'' one cyber sleuth stated. 'The Toyota Corolla [seen in Blue's videos] can be seen in multiple posts on their page. They specialize in providing emergency service vehicles to the TV/film industry.'
British publication The Mirror contacted Police Car Hire UK, who stated: 'Due to non-disclosure contracts, even if we did do this job, we would not be able to confirm if it was via our company or not.'
Meanwhile, another Instagram user claimed to have seen the staged arrest taking place.
'This was filmed on an industrial estate in Guildford, Surrey,' they wrote. 'It was all a staged setup. She was seen doing poses leaning against the police car.'
The Post has reached out to Billinger for comment.

It's not the first prank Blue has pulled.
Earlier this year, the star hinted that she was pregnant. However, she later said it was a stunt to pay for a stranger's IVF treatment.

Brittany Renner confirms her divorce to Kevin Gates. ‘I followed my heart'
Brittany Renner said she followed her heart and is getting divorced. (Warning: The below link contains language some may find offensive.) In a recent radio interview with REAL 92.3 LA, the 33-year-old 'Basketball Wives' star revealed that she and her husband, rapper Kevin Gates, are officially going their separate ways. 'We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,' Renner said in the interview, which aired June 7. The social media star says the couple must now enter a 90-day waiting period. The waiting period, known as iddah in Islam, is meant to ensure that a woman is not pregnant. Renner converted to Islam in August 2024, per Complex. 'And then also in those 90 days it's for reconciliation, because Allah wants you to stay married,' Renner explained. 'During those 90 days, you are not to entertain anybody romantically.' Renner and Gates, who converted to Islam in 2016, went Instagram official in April, according to E! News. The couple sparked engagement rumors the following month after Renner appeared at the season 12 premiere of 'Basketball Wives,' which aired May 5, with a ring on her ring finger. Renner later referred to Gates as her husband in a since-deleted Instagram post May 4, per E! News. 'You don't fit on this show and that's why you're a fit for this show,' Brittany wrote in the caption. 'Last night at the #BasketballWives Season 12 premiere party with my huzband.' Renner says she's looking forward to a 'nice 90-day reset' With her 52-day marriage in the rear-view mirror, Renner says she now wants to focus on herself. 'I followed my heart,' she said in her interview with REAL 92.3 LA. 'And that's more than what most people can say in this world.' She goes on to add that she doesn't view the divorce as a bad situation and is ready to move on. 'I don't think anybody gets married to not stay married. So, I think my biggest thing for me is just a nice 90 day reset. Focusing on myself and pouring into myself,' she explained. She said 'what is meant to be is always gonna be.' The divorce comes roughly one month after Renner gushed about Gates in an interview with People. 'I'm with the person that I quite literally dreamed of,' she said in the interview, published May 5. 'And to be able to just wake up next to him and spend time with him, even to have him here behind me, it's like so surreal,' she added. 'He's just the most beautiful person inside and out that I've ever met.' At the time, Renner said that the couple weren't concerned about what the future holds. 'I think that's where people get a little lost,' she told People. 'Like, we gotta stay present and I feel like when we get too far ahead, we don't live in the now and have fun in the now and pour in each other into each other in the now,' she continued. The pair don't share any children together, but Renner does have a 4-year-old son, P.J. Washington III, with NBA player P.J. Washington.

Woman Finds 16-Year-Old Pomeranian Keeps Escaping—So She Sets Up Hidden Cam
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 who had managed to escape through a gate several times left her owners puzzled until a secret camera revealed her sneaky way to freedom. Owner Jordan Quick of Washington purchased a play yard dog gate off Facebook Marketplace to use as a divider between the living room and workspace near the kitchen. It was meant to keep the dogs out of the area. However, it didn't seem to work for the family's senior canine, Remi. For about two days, Quick noticed the family's nearly 16-year-old Pomeranian somehow escaping the gate and ending up in the kitchen, which the owners block off while their toddler eats because of all the dropped food. "After a few times of my husband and I asking each other who put Remi on the other side of the gate, I decided to set up my camera to figure out exactly how she's getting through," Quick told Newsweek. As it turns out, there had been a small opening in the gate due to a missing pole. This left the perfect amount of room for Remi to squeeze her way through and out to freedom on the other side. Screenshots from a June 2 Instagram video that revealed how a senior Pomeranian kept escaping through a newly purchased gate.

"Only one of our other two dogs has used the small opening to get in the kitchen when he was motivated enough, but typically, they both know to wait on the other side," Quick said. As for the senior canine, she still gets away with escaping. Quick said they have yet to fix the gap, allowing Remi to come and go as she pleases. What Do the Comments Say? "We thought it was pretty funny, and I thought others would enjoy seeing her sneak right through, so that's where the video came from," she said, which proved true. The June 1 Instagram video, posted under Quick's account, @jordanwithallthedogs, brought in over 229,000 views and 19,000 likes. "That wasn't even a slight hassle," a viewer commented. "All fluff, no stuffin," a second commenter said, while another wrote: "All that fluff was deceiving." A fourth Instagram user commented: "I kept watching, waiting for the dog to jump I almost didn't see the other dog walk through the fence."

Funk pioneer Sly Stone, leader of Sly and the Family Stone, dies at 82
Funk pioneer Sly Stone, leader of Sly and the Family Stone, dies at 82 Sly Stone, a onetime San Francisco DJ turned pop and funk music innovator, has died. He was 82. "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone," a statement shared with USA TODAY on June 9 reads. "After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. "While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come." Sly Stone's 5 essential songs: From 'Everyday People' to 'Stand!' After huge chart-topping success in the 1960s and 1970s, Stone had become an enigmatic and largely reclusive figure plagued by homelessness and health issues. He also had endured financial problems amid management disputes, at one point winning a $5 million judgment for unpaid royalties that was later overturned. In one dire period, reports indicated that the Woodstock icon was living in a van in Los Angeles. But despite such misfortunes, the music created by the Texas-born California transplant and his trendsetting multi-racial, multi-gendered Bay Area band, the Family Stone, had never stopped being a touchstone for generations of musicians. Among Stone's oft-covered but never matched hits are "I Want to Take You Higher," "Hot Fun in the Summertime," "Stand!" and the infectious and phonetically titled funk anthem, "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)." The statement from Stone's family hailed him as "a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk and rock music,' one whose songs 'have left an indelible mark on the world, and his influence remains undeniable.' Stone's family noted that the musician had recently completed a screenplay for his life story and concluded: "We extend our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers during this difficult time. We wish peace and harmony to all who were touched by Sly's life and his iconic music." Stone was born Sylvester Stewart on March 14, 1943, in Denton, Texas, but grew up in the northern San Francisco suburb of Vallejo, where he and his siblings quickly mastered a variety of instruments, notably guitar and keyboards. In the mid-'60s, just as the San Francisco music scene was exploding with global impact, Stone served both as a record producer and disc jockey at KSOL, whose listeners immediately took to his deep, resonant voice as he shared an incessant stream of hits being generated from area groups. In 1966, spurred on by the local revolution that was birthing bands such as Jefferson Airplane, Santana and the Grateful Dead, Stone decided to combine his fledgling band with one led by his brother Freddie, forming Sly and the Family Stone. Hits followed in short order, starting with 1968's "Dance to the Music" and "Everyday People," both of which celebrated the sheer and simple joy created when music brings the masses together. But Stone's compositions also frequently plumbed deep depths, with lyrics that pierced as ably as they moved. In "Family Affair," Stone's sensitive growl intones: "One child grows up to be/ Somebody that just loves to learn/ And another child grows up to be/ Somebody you'd just love to burn/ Mom loves both of them/ You see, it's in the blood/ Both kids are good to mom/ Blood's thicker than the mud." By 1969, Stone and his group were among the most well-known bands in the nation, and performed a memorable set at that year's Woodstock festival in upstate New York, a hallmark of which was the band's audience-lifting rendition of "I Want to Take You Higher." The band also performed that year at the Summer of Soul concert in Harlem, an event memorialized in the documentary of the same name by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson. (Questlove went on to direct 'Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), a 2025 Hulu documentary focused on Stone.) While Stone's band was among the earliest of the '60s groups to feature a mix of genders and races (including founding member and trumpet player Cynthia Robinson and founding drummer Greg Errico), Stone was the leader and visionary who steered the band's direction. Often cloaked in elaborate stage clothing, his massive Afro glowing, Stone's looks and music were an indisputable harbinger of the coming funk revolution that would take the foundational innovations of James Brown and propel it to an otherworldly showboating level as best exemplified by the huge success of '70s legends such as George Clinton and his Parliament-Funkadelic band. But the rocketship ride to fame would quickly come crashing back to earth. By 1971, with the band addled by drug use and internal strife, Sly and the Family Stone would increasingly lose tour bookings and fail to produce music that matched the songs of just a few years prior. While Stone spent the '70s working on new music, often on his own since he played numerous instruments, success proved elusive. In 1983, he was arrested in Florida on drug charges. More trouble and misfortune found its way to Stone's doorstep in the coming years, although in 1993 he did make a public appearance during the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. A decade later, in 2005, Stone, by now almost a legendary ghost, was spotted at a Los Angeles club after driving his sister Vet, who was in a Family Stone tribute band, to her gig on his motorcycle. The next year, Stone shocked thrilled attendees at the Grammy Awards by taking the stage, resplendent in a huge blond mohawk, as his band roared through a number of hits during the show's salute to the seminal group. In 2009, documentarian Willem Alkema released "Coming Back for More," a look at Stone's life and career. The director told journalists at the time that Stone was homeless, but the pioneering musician nonetheless made a number of appearances, however brief, at California festivals. In 2023, Stone released his autobiography, the first book released by Questlove's imprint, which aptly took its title from his song, "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)." The book received mixed reviews, as its subject seemed a bit at a loss to recall that epic golden period so long ago that created those unforgettable songs. But one excerpt captures the delightful lyricism that he brought to his hits, and serves as a reminder that genius never really fades. Of many others who over the years tried to tell Stone's story, he wrote: 'They're trying to set the record straight. But a record's not straight, especially when you're not. It's a circle with a spiral inside it. Every time a story is told, it's a test of memory and motive. … It isn't evil but it isn't good. It's the name of the game but a shame just the same.'
