Widow twerks on cardboard cutout of dead husband at his funeral
In an unbelievable video, a widow twerks against a cardboard cutout of her dead husband - just next to his open casket. A reggaeton singer hired for the funeral provided the upbeat music the grieving woman danced to while funeral-goers cheered her on. Dressed in black, the widow is captured rubbing her behind on the life-size printout of her late partner in Peru. Onlookers are heard whooping and cheering her on at the funeral. And even the sad event's entertainment - a singer known as El Cangri del Callao - was egging on the widow during his performance. He even encourages fellow mourners to join in the raunchy dance at the wake. The singer later shared the unbelievable clip on his Instagram page, where it went viral with 4.3 million views and thousands of comments. One local said: 'Hi bro, I'm going to die on 23 July. 'Are you available?' Another added: 'They are very young, but in my time we cried at funerals.' 'Widow finds five new loves... at the wake', someone joked. And: 'We can see how that stupid music makes people stupid.' One other comment pointed out how a 'farewell should be joyful, not sad'. While a fellow performer said: 'I've performed funerals and wakes, but always from a very different tone to what this video shows. 'I've never had the opportunity to capture a farewell from such a luminous, vivid perspective.' Meanwhile, a mere few days ago, the haunting moment a teen gave a tearful funeral eulogy to her slain mother and stepdad that later made her the prime suspect in their murder was captured. Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, now faces two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the shootings of Kristin Brock, 41, and James Brock, 45. The chilling video of Patrick's eulogy shows the teen in a pale blue dress, standing before mourners at the lectern of the Catalyst Church in Carollton, Georgia. She said: 'I just wanted to say goodbye to my mum and James since we never got the chance to.' Patrick called her mother a 'beautiful kind soul' and told mourners she'd always be her 'sunshine'. Now, the same speech that drew tears from the crowd is drawing scrutiny from law enforcement.

Outrageous moment widow TWERKS against her late husband's open coffin during his funeral
Funerals are traditionally known as places of sorrow and solemn reflections. But one in Peru took a jaw-dropping turn when a widow was caught on camera twerking against a life-sized cut-out of her late husband leaning against his open coffin. Dressed in all black, the woman was seen gyrating her behind on the cardboard tribute as funeral guests clapped, whooped and cheered her on. The gathering turned into a full-on concert as reggaeton singer, El Cangri del Callao, a self-described 'wake entertainer', graced the occasion with party hits. At one point, the performer even encouraged other guests to stomp the dancefloor and shake off their sorrow. The bizarre send-off, which took place on July 6, was all caught on camera. El Cangri later posted the clip on Instagram, where it racked up 4.3 million views and nearly 8,000 comments. Social media hilariously chimed in with one comment saying: 'Hi bro, I'm going to die on 23 July. Are you available?' Another added: 'They are very young, but in my time we cried at funerals.' A third joked, 'Widow finds five new loves… at the wake.' Others weren't so impressed. One commentator fumed: 'We can see how that stupid music makes people stupid.' But not everyone was clutching their pearls. Another social media user wrote: 'I've performed funerals and wakes, but always from a very different tone to what this video shows. 'I've never had the opportunity to capture a farewell from such a luminous, vivid perspective.'

Fever's Sophie Cunningham goes viral for twerk after Commissioner's Cup win
The post Fever's Sophie Cunningham goes viral for twerk after Commissioner's Cup win appeared first on ClutchPoints. While they have big stars like guard Caitlin Clark, it was the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham who went viral for twerking after their Commissioner's Cup win against the Minnesota Lynx. Advertisement During an Instagram Live after the game, Cunningham briefly appeared in the frame. BricksCenter posted it on X, formerly Twitter, captioning the post, 'Sophie Cunningham twerking after winning the Cup [loudly crying face emoji].' After twerking for a few seconds, Cunningham disappears off-screen. Still, the brief moment went viral amongst fans online, and BricksCenter's post on X, formerly Twitter, has over one and a half million views. The Fever players appeared to be having fun after their game. They earned a well-deserved celebration before their next game against the Las Vegas Aces on July 3, 2025. Advertisement Sophie Cunningham, Fever's Commissioner's Cup win without Caitlin Clark Despite not having their biggest star, the Fever beat the Lynx to win the Commissioner's Cup. They were down by eight points at the end of the first quarter, but they took the lead by halftime. The Fever would hold on to beat the Lynx by 15 points. The final score was 74-59, and that was without Clark's presence. Clark missed the Commissioner's Cup championship game with a groin injury. Cunningham played 26 minutes off the bench, which was more than two of the team's starters. She made 66% of her shots and scored 13 points. She also had seven rebounds and one assist. Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images This season, Cunningham averages 5.6 points per game and 4.1 rebounds. It is her first season with the Fever, and she is likely hoping to get back to her 2022 and 2023 ways. During those seasons, Cunningham averaged 12.6 and 11.3 points per game, respectively.

She was selected with the first pick in the second round. She spent the first six years of her career with the Mercury. Cunningham was then traded to the Fever in a four-team trade.

The royal family's surprising response to Jamie Laing and pregnant Sophie Habboo's Buckingham Palace Instagram video mocking Harry and Meghan
The Royal Family's official Instagram account has given a cheeky response to a video of Jamie Laing and his wife Sophie Habboo apparently mocking Meghan Markle's twerking baby dance video. The couple, who are expecting their first baby together, cheekily filmed themselves yesterday afternoon recreating Harry and Meghan's by now infamous 'Baby Mama' on the Grand Staircase at Buckingham Palace. It has been considered by some as a dig at the Sussexes, who sparked huge debate after the Duchess of Sussex posted a jaw-dropping video on Instagram of them doing the viral craze four years ago in the delivery suite shortly before she gave birth to their daughter, Princess Lilibet, earlier this month. The clip led to conspiracy theorists making wild and baseles claims it was proof that Meghan was never pregnant and wore a 'moonbump'. The Palace's official Instagram account 'theroyalfamily' replied to Jamie Laing's post saying: 'We see you' accompanied by a pair of eyes and a wink emojis. Proof that no offence was taken, a palace aide told the Mail last night: 'I'm sure it was done in a spirit of fun, and of course aligned to Jamie's wonderful support for The King's Trust Awards - even if it's not something we would greatly encourage every guest to attempt.' Laing, who posted his video to his own Instagram account with 1.6million followers after attending a glittering reception at the royal residence to celebrate The King's Trust charity, clearly knew he was bending the rules as he wrote: 'They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace.' The clip showed them gyrating on the sweeping red-carpeted and gilded staircase which leads up to the State Rooms, flanked by portraits of members of the Royal Family. While the moment was most definitely a breach in protocol and could have sparked a royal meltdown, palace aides fortunately found the funny side. Its official Instagram account 'theroyalfamily' replied to the post saying: 'We see you' accompanied by a pair of eyes and a wink emojis. The King's Trust entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: 'All of our attendees are very well behaved' with the same look and a laughing emoji. Presenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, added: 'You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings.' Another follower posted cheekily: 'When you get to do it at the Palace but Harry and Meghan couldn't lol'. Another remarked in response to the Royal Family's reaction: 'In a world at times worrying and serious this comment was so needed.' Referring to 'theroyalfamily' account's official response, they added most definitely with tongue-in-cheek: 'Proof that from time to time the Royal Family account has a sense of humour too. 'As for Jamie, may we recommend a visit to the Tower of London. Hashtag Winkyfacelolz.' The King's Trust entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: 'All of our attendees are very well behaved' with the same look and a laughing emoji Presenter Fearne Cotton, who was also a guest, added: 'You also had your pap camera out with a flash. Think of what the flash has done to those priceless paintings' 'As for Jamie, may we recommend a visit to the Tower of London. Hashtag Winkyfacelolz.' The King's Trust was set up by King Charles when he was Prince of Wales in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people get back into education, work and training. It has since gone on to help more than one million young people and is considered one of the biggest and most effective charities of its kind in the country. Laing, who is a supporter of its work, attended a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday alongside the likes of George and Amal Clooney to highlight its annual awards for some of the charity's greatest success stories.

Meghan Markle breaks silence on ‘baby mama dance' after hospital twerking vid sparked wild conspiracy theories
MEGHAN Markle has broken her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. 5 5 5 But conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan's bump was not real, suggesting she was wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly in the clip. Now, almost a fortnight after sharing the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram, the ex-Suits actress has defended her decision to post the personal footage. She called on people to "tell the truth" about her and claimed that the video was a chance for her to share behind the scenes of her "authentic" life. Speaking on Dragon's Den star Emma Grede on the entrepreneur's Aspire podcast, she said: "You have to be authentic. "Did you see my "Baby Momma" dance? That wasn't yesterday, that was four years ago. "It's a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes. "I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." The footage - released to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday on June 3 - showed heavily pregnant Meghan making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside the hospital bed. Prince Harry also shuffles into view in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. She posted it on the social media platform alongside the caption: "Four years ago today, this also happened. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" But it was slammed by royal experts as cringey and "hard to watch". Commmentator Ingrid Seward accused The Sussexes of invading their own privacy. She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online? "Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. 'They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can't resist putting it out there. 'I think it's completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It's very embarrassing.' 5
