Prince's Security Allegedly 'Intervened' In Diddy Attack Against Cassie
A former assistant of Sean 'Diddy' Combs testified that Prince's security team allegedly stepped in and stopped a violent attack against Casandra Fine. The woman shared her story under the condition of anonymity and took the stand under the name Mia and was identified as Victim-4. According to PEOPLE Magazine, Mia worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017. During her employment, she was allegedly overworked and sexually assaulted multiple times by the Harlem native. While under oath, Mia detailed that she and Fine, who was then recognized by her stage name Cassie, became like sisters. Her account described that when the two women did something without the approval of Combs, there were 'unpredictable and terrifying' consequences. Mia testified that the night Prince's staff intervened, she was commanded to stay with the 'Official Girl' singer while Combs visited his children. While the two women were secluded at their hotel, a friend allegedly called with an invitation to attend a party hosted by the legendary musician. 'Cass and I debated like little kids if we should sneak out of the house for probably what felt like forever,' recalled Mia. They decided to attend the affair, and once at the private event, spotted Combs before running out. According to her testimony, 'Puff caught Cass.' 'He caught up to her and had her on the ground,' Mia exclaimed. 'He started attacking her, but Prince's security swiftly intervened.' The next day, she was allegedly suspended without pay for 'being insubordinate.' In her testimony earlier this month, Fine also recalled the violent night. 'I caught a glimpse of him, left the party, and ran out as fast as I could,' the 38-year-old testified according to PEOPLE. 'I knew he was angry at me,' she shared as she continued to detail running, falling into the bushes, and eventually making it back to her hotel room before Combs burst in the door. 'We went into the bedroom and he beat me up,' she claimed. 'He threw luggage at me, calling me all kinds of names.' Combs is currently standing trial for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Deborra-Lee Furness Drops Bombshell Divorce Statement Hinting At Deep Personal Betrayal
Deborra-Lee Furness is finally breaking her silence following her headline-making divorce from Hugh Jackman. After nearly three decades of marriage, the actress and producer is opening up with a bold new statement that hints at more than just a quiet split. Fans had long admired their seemingly unshakable bond, but Furness is now giving the public a glimpse into the emotional aftermath, and it sounds like there may have been more heartbreak than anyone expected. When Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness first announced their separation, the tone was subdued and respectful. But nearly two years later, the narrative has taken a dramatic turn. Recently, the actress opened up about the divorce and the emotional toll of their split. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, the 69-year-old hinted that betrayal may have been the reason for the divorce. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' Furness said having such a mindset had helped her navigate the end of her 27-year marriage. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,' she added. Furness and the actor first met in 1995 on the Australian TV show 'Correlli,' and started dating shortly after. Four months into their relationship, the 56-year-old proposed, and in April 1996, they tied the knot in Melbourne. In 2000, the former couple adopted their first son, Oscar, and five years later, their adopted daughter, Ava, joined the family. Over the next couple of years, everything seemed to be going smoothly. However, in September 2023, Furness and Jackman shocked the world when they announced their separation. 'We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,' they said in a statement to PEOPLE Magazine. Furness and Jackman revealed that their family would remain their highest priority, adding, 'We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.' The separation announcement sparked an uproar, with many fans speculating that it was due to the 'Wolverine' star's relationship with current girlfriend Sutton Foster. However, there was no public proof of romance between the duo at the time. In the following months, neither of the movie stars filed for divorce, and many believed that they were trying to sort out their differences. However, in January 2025, a source revealed they hadn't filed for divorce because they were struggling to divide their fortune. 'One of the biggest reasons why they haven't yet filed is that they never had a prenup. When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn't? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh's career to get as enormous as it has. Because there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry,' the insider said. Two months later, another source corroborated the statement. In another chat with the Daily Mail, the insider stated that divorce was underway, but Deborra-Lee Furness and Jackman were struggling to agree on how to divide their assets. 'Hugh and Deborra-Lee have not yet filed for divorce because they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets. Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer,' they said. The source revealed that Furness insisted on getting a large chunk because of the unpleasant and suspicious origins of Jackman's relationship with Foster. 'While he didn't physically cheat on her with Sutton, Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair, and she feels he betrayed her," the source explained. Despite claims from insiders, Furness and Jackman seemingly reached an agreement. On May 23, the 'Sleepwalking' actress filed for divorce in New York. In the petition, she stated that the terms of their divorce had already been decided. In addition, Deborra-Lee Furness's lawyer, Elena Karabatos, filed paperwork to request a continuation of healthcare coverage and secure a medical child support order. Meanwhile, an insider has claimed that Furness will receive a large spousal support payment, and according to them, there will be no drama.

Jane Fonda Gets Candid About the Painful Truth Behind Her On-Screen Sex Scenes
Jane Fonda is opening up about the emotional toll of filming intimate scenes without the protection actors now receive. At 87, the Oscar-winning actress is reflecting on her early career and revealing how much she wishes intimacy coordinators had existed back when she needed them the most. However, Fonda's assertions differ from those of actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who earlier said she didn't need an intimacy coordinator while filming "Marty Supreme" alongside Timothée Chalamet. Hollywood legend Fonda is once again sparking conversation, this time about the behind-the-scenes challenges many actors silently endured for decades. While at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the veteran actress revealed just how isolating and uncomfortable filming sex scenes could be during the early days of her career. In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Fonda was asked about how the film industry has changed since the rise of the #MeToo movement. She didn't hold back. "Every time you begin a movie, you have training. What to do if there's a problem. That never happened," Fonda said per PEOPLE Magazine, noting how little guidance or protection there used to be on set. "I wish that we had them when I was doing sex scenes because it's hard," she continued. "You want me to say to a guy you're supposed to look like you're in love with and you say, 'But please don't uncover my breast on the left side.' You know, you don't do that." This isn't the first time Fonda has shared raw, personal stories about the emotional strain of her early film work. In the 2022 documentary "Body Parts," directed by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, Fonda spoke candidly about her experience in the 1968 sci-fi cult classic "Barbarella," in which she played a sensual space traveler. "I was at a place in my life where if you were asked to do something, especially by a man, you did it," Fonda admitted. In recent years, intimacy coordinators have become an essential part of film and television sets, ensuring actors feel safe and respected while filming intimate scenes. Many modern-day stars have praised their presence, and like Fonda, some wish they had this support earlier in their careers. Oscar winner Kate Winslet is among those who have opened up about the emotional weight of navigating these scenes alone. "I would have benefited from an intimacy coordinator every single time I had to do a love scene or be partially naked or even a kissing scene," Winslet told The New York Times. "It would have been nice to have had someone in my corner, because I always had to stand up for myself." Winslet also described moments she now wishes she had handled differently. "'I don't like that camera angle. I don't want to stand here full-frontal nude. I don't want this many people in the room. I want my dressing gown to be closer,'" she said. "Just little things like that." "When you're young, you're so afraid of pissing people off or coming across as rude or pathetic because you might need those things," Winslet added. "So learning to have a voice for oneself in those environments was very, very hard." Although many celebrities see the need for intimacy coordinators, Paltrow, who recently returned to serious acting, doesn't think it is necessary. While reflecting on her intimate scenes with Timothée Chalamet in the movie, "Marty Supreme," Paltrow shared her thoughts on intimacy directors. She told Vanity Fair, "There's now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed." Paltrow added, "When 'Marty Supreme's' intimacy coordinator asked me if I'd be comfortable with a particular move during the filming of an intimate scene, I was like, 'Girl, I'm from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera's on.'" She emphasized that she and Chalamet were able to handle the intimate scenes with minimal external supervision. "We said, 'I think we're good. You can step a little bit back,'" she recalled. "I don't know how it is for kids who are starting out, but…if someone is like, 'Okay, and then he's going to put his hand here,' I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that." After news of Paltrow's comments went viral, film executive Caroline Hollick criticized her for downplaying the importance of intimacy coordinators in film. Hollick, speaking at the "Series Mania" panel titled Let's Talk About Sex! (And Consent), described the comment as "irresponsible." She added per Deadline, "As a powerful woman in Hollywood acting with a man younger than her, well I'm sure [Chalamet] is chill but I thought it was quite an irresponsible thing to say." Hollick stressed that intimacy coordinators play a crucial role on set, saying, "Bringing an intimacy coordinator on set empowers an actor because there is someone on side who is there to fight for them." She highlighted how directors, producers, and writers all have their own agendas, but coordinators support the performer's comfort and safety.

Kevin Jonas Breaks Silence On 'Jarring' Post-Tour Depression
Kevin Jonas is opening up about a difficult period in his life that required him to see a therapist. During a candid conversation, the musician revealed that he experienced emotional burnout following the Jonas Brothers' last world tour and struggled to adjust afterward. He also revealed how touring affected his mental health and stressed the importance of therapy. While fans may see only the glitz and excitement of live performances, Kevin says life after a tour can be emotionally draining. Reflecting on the Jonas Brothers' most recent world tour, which concluded in Krakow, Poland, in October 2024, he admitted the transition back to everyday life hit him hard. During a chat with PEOPLE Magazine, Kevin said, "All the depression, blues, it's real, especially after a tour." He continued, "After our last tour, we did over 100 and something shows — it was too many — and we ended in Europe. I got on my plane to come home after I believe 130 shows, and I got on my flight — which was delayed terribly, which is never fun." Kevin's journey home turned into an exhausting ordeal. "I took the first flight out from Poland to go through Munich to get home and [was] delayed for like seven hours, and then they had make a random stop in Nova Scotia.," he explained, before adding, "So it literally took me like an extra 18 hours to get home, and I was already fatigued and burnt out by the time I got home." The singer's wife, Danielle, noticed something was off about him and spoke to him about it. He shared, "My wife was like 'Something's wrong with you, are you okay?' I actually had to go start talking to a therapist about it, how to process the highs and the lows. It's so jarring." The emotional intensity of performance isn't limited to tour life. Kevin also spoke about his brother Nick Jonas's current role in the Broadway musical "The Last Five Years," a production that explores the unraveling of a romantic relationship through music. "[Nick's] really has to live in this and I think he takes it home with him too, which is really hard if you know the show. It's emotional," Kevin said. He added, "Well, [Nick] leaves this theater — I think every single night — in a way, like, depressed and coming off of this emotional roller coaster. So, it's a lot to bear, and it's hard to take that with you." Although Kevin's performances with his brothers are generally upbeat, they still carry some emotional weight. He explained, "What I do every night with my brothers, it's joy, it's fun. The whole time. There's nothing emotional. There are emotional moments, we have songs that are hard to sing and whatever, but it's mostly fun. So even that I come off of that and it's tough." Despite the emotional challenges, Kevin Jonas is excited about the road ahead. This August, the Jonas Brothers will launch their "JONAS20" tour, celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band. The kickoff show will take place at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey once Nick finishes his Broadway run. Kevin said, "It's gonna be really special. You know, it's 20 years of the band, but really it's just about us going back on the road to celebrate." The "JONAS20" tour is coming a few months after fans of the band were left concerned following an emotional post from them in February, reflecting on their 20-year musical journey. The heartfelt message had many bracing for bad news, with some even fearing it was a breakup announcement. "To our incredible fans, as a family, we have been reflecting a lot lately," the letter began. "The brothers recalled humble beginnings, referencing their first album, It's About Time, and their days performing at small venues." "We were chasing our dream to play music and connect with others in a deep way that only music can provide," they continued. "We were teenagers then… actually, Nick [Jonas] wasn't even old enough to get into a PG-13 movie." Despite the sentimental tone of the letter, Kevin, Nick, and Joe Jonas were quick to assure fans that the band isn't going anywhere. "You've given us a thousand lifetimes of incredible memories," they wrote. "We wake up each day filled with gratitude that you've been on this 20-year journey with us." Fans flooded the comment section with reactions, with many of them relieved, while others poked fun at how dramatic the post first appeared. "STOP I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BREAKUP," one comment read. Thankfully, the trio ended the letter with hope and excitement, noting, "We are celebrating this wild 20-year journey by doing what we love, and we can't wait to share it with you… The best is yet to come."
