Instagram | Sedona Prince
Sedona Prince, a former standout at Texas Christian University and once a projected WNBA pick, went undrafted Monday night in what many are calling a dramatic fall from grace.
The 6-foot-7 center, who had been expected to go as early as the late first round, was not among the 38 players selected, nor was she invited to attend the draft in person.

The snub comes as Sedona Prince faces growing controversy tied to multiple allegations of abuse, claims she has continuously denied.
TikTok Series Sparks Backlash Against Sedona Prince
Much of the recent backlash stems from a viral 10-part TikTok series posted by influencer Olivia Stabile, who recounted the turbulent end to their relationship.
The series, titled 'Who the F-ck Did I Take To Mexico?', chronicled a birthday trip Stabile had planned for Prince in 2024 that allegedly turned chaotic.
According to Stabile, the couple broke up during the vacation after a series of alarming events, including an incident where Prince allegedly pushed her off a moving ATV and left her alone in the jungle in the middle of the night. Stabile also claimed Prince warned her against discussing their split publicly, threatening legal action if she went online.

'I've taken the time to try and stay silent, protect someone's peace who has done nothing but disturb my own,' Stabile said. 'But then when I get a text message by the same person telling me that what I have been posting online has been tarnishing the love that we shared, that it's disturbing their healing journey… What are you healing from? I'm the one who's having to re-learn how to love.'
This isn't the first time one of Prince's exes has gone public.
More Allegations Surface As Sedona's Past Relationship Draws Parallels

Prior to dating Stabile, Prince was in a relationship with fellow TikToker Rylee LeGlue, who later claimed Prince had been unfaithful.

After Stabile's posts began circulating, LeGlue weighed in by commenting, 'Truly glad she made it out. Very parallel. The behaviors/words/actions. Very triggering. Very scary. She wasn't exaggerating a single part. I don't want to insert myself any more than that luv u mwah.'
As the videos gained traction, a Change.org petition was launched by user Leah Cole, calling for TCU to cut ties with the athlete.
'As an individual who has personally experienced the deep pain caused by abuse, it breaks my heart to see a known domestic abuser maintain a place of respect within our society, essentially being shielded by a reputable university,' Cole wrote. 'We firmly believe that allegations of such grave misconduct should be taken seriously and addressed urgently.'
Sedona Prince Denies Abuse Claims
These latest claims followed a February report from The Washington Post detailing a domestic dispute between Prince and a former partner.

The two women filed reports against each other after a physical altercation, with both sustaining minor injuries, according to police. No charges were filed.
In response, Prince took to social media to publicly deny all abuse claims, saying, 'I have never abused anybody in my life. That's not who I am, that's not what I do, that's not what I stand for.'
Sedona Prince Accused Of 2019 Assault In Locked Car Incident

Additional allegations surfaced, including one from Alyssa Jimmie, who claimed Prince sexually assaulted her in 2019 after refusing to let her out of a locked car.
Another unnamed woman alleged Prince forced a kiss and non-consensual sexual contact following a date in 2022.

That lawsuit was later withdrawn.
Attorney Slams Accusers, Defends Sedona Prince Ahead Of Draft Snub
Despite the social media firestorm, Prince's attorney insists the claims have no legal standing.
'Sedona has not been charged with a crime or found guilty of any wrongdoing,' her lawyer, A. Boone Almanza, told ESPN ahead of the draft. 'Rather, she has been convicted on social media by people who have attempted to use their relationship with Sedona to attract followers and to build their influencer careers and settle grudges. To the extent she has made any mistakes different from other young people in their early dating life, it was solely the decision to be on TikTok.'

Though she remains unsigned, there's still a possibility that Prince could earn a tryout or play professionally overseas. Still, the cloud of controversy hanging over her name continues to spark heated debate and could have long-lasting consequences for her future in the sport.

Man Joins Wife's Pilates Class to Prove It's 'Easy.' He Gets Humbled When He Walks Out on Shaky Legs (Exclusive)
Zach Webber filmed a skit joining his wife Liz's pilates class — but the pain was real. The viral TikTok shows Zach getting hilariously humbled while Liz skips out refreshed. He now has a whole new respect for Liz's workouts — and maybe pilates, Webber thought he was in for a relaxing workout when he joined his wife, Liz, for pilates — what he got was a viral humbling and a whole new level of respect. The viral TikTok video they posted — captioned 'It's 6:00 AM, time to prove to my wife that pilates is easy' — shows Zach walking confidently into class, and limping out with a new outlook. On the other hand, Liz skips out of the studio, declaring, 'Such a relaxing class,' while Zach stares at her in disbelief. 'Liz had been telling me about her pilates class for months, and she kind of found a passion in it,' Zach shares exclusively with PEOPLE. 'She'd been asking me to come join her. So I was like, okay, let's do it.' While the video was filmed like a comedy sketch, the reactions were the real deal. 'I did think it was going to be easier than it was,' Zach admits. 'It was surprising. It's not easy.' Even though the couple filmed the skit after class to be respectful of the other participants, the sweat and grimaces weren't just for show. 'Holding a lunge in a single position for over a minute or doing some of the stuff with the bands that I'd never done… Those were very real reactions,' Zach says. Liz could barely keep a straight face watching her husband struggle. 'I kept looking over at him being like, well, I told you,' she laughs. 'It's hard for me too… I just started in November. My core and everything has been tough getting it back. So looking over, I'm like, see, it's not just me.' Zach's biggest surprise came from the reformer machine itself. 'We did the reformer pilates, which was a big machine, and that stuff was complicated,' he says. 'Doing stuff on that machine with moving parts and cables and the ropes and all that… It was a totally new experience.' He adds, 'There was a learning curve there for sure. I was definitely slamming the carriage and all of the beginner things that are typical.' And while he's done everything from yoga to weightlifting and running, Zach says nothing really prepared him for this. 'It definitely works different muscles in a different way,' he says. 'It's refreshing and different.' Liz has been consistent with her pilates practice since their second child was born. 'I just had our second, who's now eight months old. That's when I started… and it feels so good after. I'm obsessed.' For Zach, the experience was more than a workout — it was a relationship check-in and has given him a new perspective on his wife's strength. 'Since having our second baby, she's really taken her fitness seriously… and knowing how difficult it is, she's extremely impressive,' he shares. Having Zach join Liz's class — grippy socks and all — meant a lot to the mom of two. 'We're both busy, so it meant a lot that he came out and did it with me,' she says. 'I also feel like whenever I come home from class, I'm like, 'Oh, yeah, we did this.' And he's like, 'Oh yeah,' like he gets it now.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The two have been together 16 years, married for eight, and prioritize trying new things together. 'We try to do new things like this together when we can get time for each other, even if it's something as simple as going to a workout class and getting coffee after,' Zach says. 'That kind of stuff's really important to us.' Zach hasn't ruled out joining Liz again — even if it's not a regular thing. 'If it weren't as far away as it is, because it is like a 20, 30 minute drive, I would probably be doing it more with her,' he said. 'It's a cool way to mix things up if you're stuck in a workout rut.' And for any guys still doubting pilates, Zach has one message: 'Go try it with no pre-judgment and just see if you like it.' Liz agrees. 'It's not just for the girls, too. I feel like incorporating that even once a week, a couple of times a month, is just so good… it does so many different things for you than your typical workouts.' But if you think you're just in for a spa day, beware. 'When I walked in, I was like, this is going to be even easier than I thought it was going to be,' Zach says. 'It felt so calm and peaceful… and then you start sweating like crazy and your abs are shaking and you're like, oh wait, this isn't serene.' Read the original article on People

Justin Bieber Admits To Being in ‘Transactional Relationships' Amid Divorce Rumors

This action has left his fans confused and concerned, especially amid his divorce rumors with his wife, Hailey Bieber.

Prior to this, he shared a post writing, 'You can try & fool the world… But you can never deceive an aching heart.' Additionally, in another post, he opened up on the difference between love and loyalty. The singer ended up calling loyalty a 'manipulative language.'

The pop artist also mentioned that 'mafia members use loyalty to keep people in their gangs.' Towards the end, Bieber requested everyone to choose 'love over loyalty forever' rather than encouraging the 'manipulative language.' In a follow-up post, the 'Baby' singer shared how only God gets to decide, 'WHOS WORTHY OR WHO DESERVES WHAT.' Further, one of his posts again reflected on the importance of God as it was captioned, 'IM ACCEPTING THAT GOD FORGIVES ME THIS MORNING. SO CAN I CAN FORGIVE MYSELF AND OTHERS TODAY.'

The Doona Stroller may be proof you can have kids in NYC without losing your mind
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. When a new celebrity baby is born, it feels like the whole world is eagerly waiting for that first heart-melting photo to drop on their Instagram feeds. As a shopping writer and toddler-mom living in New York City, I am also clutching the edge of my seat — but not to see their squishy cheeks or find out whose name is stirring controversy. I'm waiting impatiently to see which stroller the mega-famous parents select for their young brood. Will it be a stylish Nuna? More practical UPPAbaby? A spacious Bugaboo for the two-under-twos? Or perhaps, the cult-favorite among urban parents — The Doona Stroller. To the child-free, this probably sounds like a bunch of gibberish baby talk, and it is. But choosing the brand and model of the stroller is still an incredibly important decision, especially when you're living in a place as heavily trafficked as New York City. You're selecting the vehicle to transport your child through sweeping crowds, subway stairs, and cracked sidewalks. It's not easy. Which is exactly why, when I saw Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian, and Jennifer Lawrence pushing their new bundles of joy around in a Doona, I was not surprised at all. Given its compact, foldable design, adjustable handlebar, and unique dual-function as a carriage and carseat, the Doona is the ultimate city companion and should be treated as such. The Doona is also the reason why normal New Yorkers, like Commerce Partnerships Manager Frank Massaro, can use public transportation to get their newborns around the city. And, it's also why celebrities, like Bieber, Kardashian, and Lawrence, can quickly maneuver their babies in and out of Escalades without giving papparazzi a glimpse of their precious newborns. So yes, the Doona has distinguished itself as one of the sleekest and most travel-friendly strollers on the market. But, it's greatest selling point? It makes parenting in New York City feel a little less impossible. Amazon Pros: Developed by medical experts to ensure an appropriate level of support for infants Highly durable, made with premium-grade fiber-reinforced polymers and rust-free aluminum Transitions from a stroller to a car seat in seconds — simple to strap into a car, too Ideal size for navigating tight spaces and folds for easy storage Cons: Best for infants and toddlers (weight limit at 35 pounds, height limit at 32 inches) Lacks some storage space that larger strollers offer Touted as the world's first complete and fully integrated travel system, the Doona allows parents to move from car seat to stroller in seconds. It's made with premium-grade fiber-reinforced polymers, rust-free aluminum, and a UPF 50+ sun protection and water-repellant canopy — durable enough to withstand years of parenting, and more than a few road bumps. Size-wise, the Doona is best suited for newborns and babies. The seat was developed by safety and medical experts to support infants in their early months, offering side-impact protection and a near-flat ergonomic position with energy-absorbing materials, so your little one is properly cushioned at all times. Dimensions: 39 x 17 x 32 inches | Height limit: Up to 32 inches | Doona Car Seat Stroller Weight limit: 4-35 pounds | Special features: Foldable, convertible, UPF 50+ sun protection, water-repellant canopy Our Doona Stroller Review For frequent travelers, the Doona is second to none. Considering how the stroller has set itself apart from so many competitors, we decided to give it a test run firsthand and find out what it was all about. Frank Massaro sitting next to his baby, riding in the Doona travel system. New York Post Composite The Post Wanted team's Frank Massaro has been zipping his son around the city in the Doona for the last few weeks. Massaro isn't new to New York City, but he is new to fatherhood. He and his wife welcomed their first baby this Spring. They understood that raising a baby in the big city would not be without its challenges. However, Massaro admits that he underestimated how difficult transportation and commuting would be with an extra 8 pounds on board. 'My wife and I love our Minu Uppababy 2 stroller/bassinet attachment. Like I mentioned in our stroller roundup, I love the flexibility, storage, and convenience the Uppababy affords us, and I can say it is a fantastic all-around stroller,' he shared. It wasn't until he was tasked to test out the Doona Travel Stroller that he could see just how optimized a stroller could be for city-living. Ease of Set-up Right out of the box, Massaro was able to figure out how to expand the stroller and play around with all points of articulation. The stroller felt intuitive, very sturdy, compact, and did not take up much of a footprint in his home — another big draw for apartment-dwellers. 'With a quick browse through the manual, and about 15 minutes, I had the Doona fully set up in stroller mode with storage attached and felt comfortable with collapsing the stroller into the car seat mode,' he noted. According to Massaro, going from stroller to car seat mode and back is one of the 'coolest' feelings you will have with any baby product — it will save you time, energy, and frustration. He explained that the seamless transitions are what Doona does best, and what he believes the company envisioned for its parents. 'This past MDW, I took a trip out to Long Island and traversed the subway, Long Island Railroad, and had a car seat, all in one product. That is some final boss level commuting, and the Doona handled it like a pro,' he said. Maneuverability Frank Massaro's baby in the Doona, navigating Times Square. Frank Massaro The Doona is said to handle turning and speed very well. To put this to the test, Massaro took his baby and the Doona through the ultimate challenge — going through Times Square. 'I was able to weave through and navigate the endless waves of tourists almost as easily as if I were solo. Because the Doona is small and compact, you can really feel like the stroller is a small extension of you, and as a result, have an incredible amount of control over it,' he shared. The one knock he has against the Doona is that, due to the smaller frame, it can feel like its shock absorption is a bit lacking compared to other, bigger strollers. 'My kid has woken up because I failed to see a small pothole, and the sudden bump is something I could tell he felt in his dreams,' he explained. 'Conversely, though, I have gone over rougher terrains like gravel, and he isn't bothered despite bumping around, looking like he is escaping the temple of doom.' Safety Features Frank Massaro's baby riding in the Doona carseat. Frank Massaro Since the Doona is a convertible stroller, it has the tough task of needing to adhere to the safety guidelines for hybrid functionality. According to the brand, it's been tested to meet the strictest U.S and EU standards for car seats, strollers, and hand-held carriers. How to Convert the Doona Stroller to A Car Seat 'As someone who does not have a car in the city, I was struggling to see just how safe the car seat could be, given that I wouldn't be lugging a latch base with me. To my surprise, when the time finally came to utilize the carseat mode, the Doona felt very secure and rigid in place,' Massaro said. He was pleasantly surprised at just how easy it was to loop the seatbelt around the carseat, and said that he would feel confident being in the middle of rush hour, hailing a cab, and locking the car seat into place, all without disrupting the flow of traffic. Have there been changes or improvements to the current Doona versus older models? A close-up of the Doona x Vashtie Limited Edition print. Frank Massaro The only change that has been made to the Doona Travel System is the fabric, which is frequently updated to give each stroller a unique feel and look. Currently, the Doona is offered in eight colorways, as well as one limited-edition print with handwritten details designed by Vashtie. How it Compares to Competitors A close-up of the Doona wheels. Frank Massaro It may not have the storage capacity and legroom of the Nuna or Bugaboo, but if you're goal is to get around the city fast and easy, it's a clear winner in the category. The Doona is compact and highly portable — using public transportation, eating in restaurants, or navigating Times Square-sized crowds is where this stroller thrives, per Massaro. While he wishes that the Doona was a bit larger and came with more stock storage options out of the box, the brand does offer some attachments you can purchase to customize your approach. What is the Doona Stroller price? When it's not on sale, the Doona Car Seat and Stroller is available on Amazon and directly from the brand for $600. It's more affordable than some competitors like the Nuna ($900), UPPAbaby ($1,199), and Bugaboo ($1,349). Considering its dual functionality, we consider it a wise value buy. The Final Verdict: Is the Doona Stroller worth it? For now, Massaro would recommend the Doona to anyone who is traveling or constantly finds themselves making frequent daily trips to run errands. He says the size is just right, and the folding mechanism makes storage a breeze. 'The Doona is a great complement to my other stroller and definitely has its specific use cases for my lifestyle. Living in the city, being able to easily commute around and adapt to any means of transportation is the selling point of the Doona, and it absolutely nails down this aspect,' he concluded. How We Tested Massaro and his son tested out the Doona stroller for nearly a month to evaluate the complete Travel System. They traversed the streets of New York City, took the subway and the train, and weaved through one of the largest crowds in the world. For this review, we considered the ease of set-up, maneuverability, and safety features to determine if the Doona is truly worth the hype. Frank Massaro testing out the Doona stroller on the LIRR. Frank Massaro Ease of set-up: While examining the Doona, Massaro found that set-up was quick and intuitive. Directions were provided, but he was able to put everything together without assistance. Transitioning from stroller to car seat took him just under a minute, even with his baby on board. Installing the car seat took a bit more time. Note: it's important to secure the seat with the vehicle's seatbelt, which can take time to get used to. While examining the Doona, Massaro found that set-up was quick and intuitive.

Maneuverability: Massaro took the Doona travel system everywhere — busy streets, parks, public transportation, restaurants, grocery stores, even Times Square. He felt that the Doona was highly maneuverable, due to its smaller frame and lighter build. Steering was easy with the adjustable handlebars. He did mention that the stroller was impacted by uneven ground more than heavier strollers he tested.

We considered the support-level and cushioning on the seat as well as the quality and type of materials for the frame (like premium-grade fiber-reinforced polymers, rust-free aluminum) in evaluating the overall durability and safety. Massaro also found that the harness was easily adjustable to properly fit growing babies, and the car seat was stable when properly installed.
