Ex-wife of Los Angeles Chargers star Rashawn Slater blasts reporter over 'deplorable' divorce comment
Brown and Slater have gone their separate ways, with the split being publicized at the same time the offensive lineman's new contract was signed.
The 26-year-old is reportedly set to sign a four-year, $114 million contract extension that includes a record $92 million guaranteed. The deal is set to make Slater the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.
Kleiman mostly reported the facts, with the divorce caveat before finishing his social media message - 'talk about good timing.'
Brown has retorted to Kleiman, defending her ex-husband despite no longer being together.
'This is deplorable. I hold nothing but support for Rashawn,' Brown said on X. 'His contract is not about me. I think we should focus on what's most important here, and that is his career and his success. Please stop including me in this narrative. He deserves his moment.'
Kleiman responded quickly to Brown's claim, with details of the timeline for the divorce not being publicized alongside his comments.
'It wasn't about you. It was about Rashawn keeping the money that he worked hard for. I didn't mention your name. So you decide to draw more attention to yourself? But also claiming he deserves his moment,' Kleiman said.
NFL fans have blasted Kleiman for his comments, saying he is 'gaslighting' Brown and others by stating his intentions, yet including her photo in multiple messages about Slater.
The Chargers and Slater's representatives, CAA Football, have reportedly been hammering out the deal for weeks.
Slater was set to enter the final year on his current contract but is now tied to Los Angeles until 2029.
Selected by the Chargers with the 13th overall pick in 2021, Slater has already earned two Pro-Bowl nods over his four-year NFL career.
He was limited to three games in 2022 because of a ruptured biceps, but has otherwise been a permanent fixture on the Bolts' offensive line.

A-list movie star goes almost unrecognized on very rare outing with longtime partner at LAX
Rachel McAdams was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport with her longtime partner Jamie Linden this week. The 46-year-old Mean Girls sensation and 44-year-old screenwriter were casually dressed in coordinating denim outfits as they retrieved their luggage from baggage claim on Wednesday evening. For her part, Rachel was clad in a chambray button-up shirt, black T-shirt and tan pants. Her long, tousled locks flowed out from underneath a baseball cap and a pair of wired headphones were draped around her neck. Jamie layered a white T-shirt underneath a patterned button-up blue shirt, adding light wash jeans. The silver screen siren was nearly unrecognizable as she attempted to go under the radar while grabbing two hardshell roller suitcases. The 46-year-old Mean Girls sensation and Jamie were casually dressed in coordinating denim outfits as they retrieved their luggage from baggage claim on Wednesday evening Rachel and Jamie have been romantically linked since April 2016 and share two kids. They welcomed their firstborn child, a son, in April 2018, and their daughter was born two years later. In November 2018 the longtime actress told The Times about motherhood: 'It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, hands down. '[People say] your life is not your own anymore. But I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person. I waited a long time.' Asked if she'd deliberately waited so long to become a mother, she shared: 'It's just how it happened. And I didn't want to do it before it was the right time.' The publication noted that Rachel was waiting to find a complementary partner. 'I just wanted to be with someone creative. We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it's great] being with someone who can be on the road as well,' she explained. The parents-of-two have made it a point to keep both their relationship and their children out of the spotlight. In May 2022 the silver screen siren made a rare public comment about her daughter, whose name she hasn't revealed. Speaking with Access Hollywood while promoting Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, she said, 'I'm excited for my own little girl to see it one day.' Before meeting Jamie and becoming a mom, Rachel told InStyle in 2010: 'Part of me is very attached to the idea of having children. 'It'll depend on if I find the person I want to do that with.' Before settling down with the writer, she dated actor Michael Sheen, splitting in 2013 after two years together.

Kathy Griffin, 64, continues to show off THIRD facelift as she steps out in Malibu
continued to show off her third facelift during a solo outing in Malibu on Thursday. The 64-year-old comedian - who first unveiled the latest cosmetic procedure earlier this month - was seen stopping by a gym for a Pilates session during the daytime excursion. The TV personality confirmed that she underwent the surgery on an episode of her Talk Your Head Off podcast. Kathy kept it casual wearing a pair of fitted, blue leggings as well as a short-sleeved, dark navy shirt. She additionally slipped into a pair of black, Croc flats and easily carried a vibrant blue purse in her hand. Her reddish locks fell down past her shoulders in natural waves while her bangs fell onto her forehead. Kathy flashed a cheerful smile as she made her way through a crowded parking lot towards the gym. The My Life On The D-List star recently commented on her recent taut appearance during an episode of her podcast which aired earlier this month. 'Very taut is also very true!' the actress said, before confirming she had underwent another facelift. 'It's my third. I know that's so vain! I'm so vain for no reason. 'No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face. You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want.' She continued, 'I don't want you to come to care what I look like. I'm in Lululemons today for God's sake. I'm in my fat pants. I don't have dysmorphia... I have a little.' Kathy gave candid details about the procedure and shared to her fans that her facelift was done by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei. The comedian - who previously presented him a Daytime Beauty Award in 2023 - then gushed, 'I love him, I can't say enough good about him.' Along with the facelift, the star also got a foxy eye lift, work done on her chin as well as a blepharoplasty - which 'removes excess skin from the eyelids,' per Mayo Clinic. 'There's a stitch in my chin, which you're probably not going to see unless you're under me, but not in that way,' she explained. 'I'm going to be honest. It's painful. So these bi***es that are like, "It's like getting a tooth filled! It's nothing!" No, it's painful.' Afterwards, Kathy went to a 'rich lady recovery place' and then returned home. 'You get out of that place and you come home and maybe you come home with a nurse, and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie. The first night there's drains that come out of your chin. I know it's so gross. But the vanity takes over.' And last week, the Emmy winner unveiled her facelift and wrinkle-free appearance during an outing in Malibu. One month earlier in July, the actress l ooked nearly unrecognizable as she sported a wild hairstyle in L.A. Kathy - who had half of her left lung removed during a 2021 cancer battle - has opened up about ageism in the entertainment industry in the past, such as when she interviewed with Deadline back in 2016. 'I hear it all the time,' she said, referencing to comments she has gotten about her age over the years. 'I've been hearing it since I was 30, from managers, agents, studio heads and network executives.' Kathy continued, 'I'm sure I heard it in the last year. They really think nothing of saying to me, "You're really funny, but they've decided to go younger." It's so common for a woman to hear that. 'I don't think anyone ever told them you're not supposed to say that. They think it's still a legitimate reason for someone not to get a job...' The comedian's plastic surgery journey began back in 1986 when she had a nose job at the age of 26. Other procedures she has undergone in the past include a brow-lift, breast enlargement and near-fatal liposuction. Kathy is preparing to hit the stage later this year for two shows and referenced her latest cosmetic surgery in the tour name which is called: New Face, New Tour. On November 8, she is slated to perform in Las Vegas at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood. And later that same month, the comedian will also hold a show in Anaheim, California on November 22. Kathy made the announcement in July and shared, 'Just when you thought I was done… I come back better than ever in classic Griffin fashion! 'I'm happy to announce two new upcoming shows this November. Find me in the glamorous Las Vegas on November 8th and Anaheim on November 22nd.'

Radio hosts aim vile monologue at Bill Belichick after coach's latest Patriots dig
A pair of Boston radio hosts ripped Bill Belichick as a 'horny,' 'delusional', 'a**' as they reacted to some controversial remarks from the legendary Patriots coach in a new interview. Speaking to the Boston Globe, the now-UNC coach said his current operation was 'much more cohesive' than things were in New England, saying his most successful years with the Patriots came with 'fewer people and more of a direct vision.' And Tony Massarotti and Mike Felger of 98.5 The Sports Hub thought those comments were completely out of touch. 'The guy is a raging a-hole. He's an a**. He always has been an a**,' Massarotti said on Felger and Mazz, via Awful Announcing. 'He's a great football coach. He knew what to do with Tom Brady. But he's an ***. Just the need to still throw people under the bus, to be completely oblivious to the realities of why they won … there's no accountability, there's no real self-reflection there.' Felger added: 'If he can look like this delusional, obstinate, completely arrogant, out of his mind, horny, old, half-nuts, old man and go 10-1 and go to the NCAA playoffs, that's a cool story,' Felger said. 'I'll take that story.' Nonetheless, Massarotti branded the coach's comments 'disrespectful' on Thursday as Belichick gears up for his first season at North Carolina. After signing a five-year, $50million deal with UNC, Belichick has filed out his staff with plenty of friendly faces, including his son, Steve, who will serve as the defensive coordinator, and former assistant to the Patriots coaching staff Michael Lombardi, who is the general manager for the Tar Heels. Belichick and the Patriots sputtered to a 29-38 record in the four seasons after Brady departed the franchise in 2020, before owner Robert Kraft ultimately chose to move the franchise in another direction. But despite the six Super Bowls that he won in New England, Belichick was not wholly complimentary of how things were handled there behind the scenes. 'It's a much more cohesive, and I'd say unified, view of what we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it,' Belichick told the Globe of UNC. 'It's a lot of football, and there's not much in your way.' He continued: 'There's no owner, there's no owner's son, there's no cap, everything that goes with the marketing and everything else, which I'm all for that. But it's way less of what it was at that level,' Belichick said. 'Generic NFL teams, you have the owner, president, general manager, personnel director, college director, pro director, cap guy, some other consultant, then head coach. I'd say when we had our best years in New England, we had fewer people and more of a direct vision. And as that expanded, it became harder to be successful.' As Massarotti pointed out, Belichick does have bosses at UNC - with Pablo Torre previously reporting that the school had banned the 73-year-old coach's 24-year-old girlfriend and personal media manager, Jordon Hudson, from its football facilities. UNC denied Torre's reporting, though Torre doubled down and said he stood by his revelations on his 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' podcast. Amid a disastrous string of PR, which included Hudson being shown meddling with a CBS interview that Belichick had sat down for, former Bears PR director Brandon Faber was ultimately hired by the school to help manage the football program's communications. And things had been quieter surrounding Hudson this summer until podcasters Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill revealed that she called them crying during a 13-minute meltdown. Nonetheless, Belichick will be focused on football with his team less than two weeks from opening up its season against TCU.
