Carlee Russell Admits The July 13th Kidnapping Was a Hoax
Carlee Russell is being honest with us.
The 26-year-old has acknowledged that her 49-hour abduction along an Alabama highway did not result from a kidnapping.
She originally disclosed to the Hoover Police Department that she had been abducted when they spoke to her after her return on July 15. However, Russell’s lawyer, Emory Anthony, gave Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis a statement on her behalf that explained her account, which he read at a press conference on July 24.
The attorney declared, “There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13, 2023. “My client failed to notice a child standing by the side of the road. When she was reported missing, my client remained in the Hoover region.
Russell’s lawyer added that she didn’t receive “any help” at the time of the incident.
Anthony’s statement went on to say, “This was a solitary act done by herself. “When she went missing, my client was not in a hotel with anyone. The Hoover Police Department, other agencies, the community, the volunteers who helped find my client, and her friends and family, accept my client’s sincere apologies for her acts.
The lawyer ended by requesting prayers for Carlee as she dealt with her problems and made an effort to move on, acknowledging that she had erred in this case. Carlee begs your pardon and prayers once more.
The police chief stated that although a meeting with Russell and her family has yet to be scheduled after her initial statement to detectives, officials have one scheduled with her lawyer for July 25.
Authorities are investigating possible criminal charges in connection with this matter, he continued, adding they will make a public announcement “when and if they are filed.”
Russell vanished after dialing 911 to report seeing a youngster in a nappy by the side of the highway on July 13. She and the claimed youngster could not be found when police arrived at the location. After a protracted search, She finally arrived at her house two days later.
Hoover police already revealed what Russell told the investigators at a press conference.
The chief outlined the woman’s account to detectives, saying, “she told them that while driving down the interstate, she saw a baby walking down the side of the road and called 911.” She reported that a man emerged from the trees and murmured that he was checking on the infant as she stepped out of the car to check on the child.
She stated that the man grabbed her after she shouted, and the speaker continued. She claimed he forced her to cross a fence after that. She claimed that after being pushed into a car, she last remembered being in an 18-wheeler trailer.
She allegedly ran “through lots of woods until she came out near her residence,” according to police after Russell described how she allegedly escaped captivity.
Authorities discovered that she had Googled terms connected to abduction before going missing, but they could not confirm her account of events.
Carlee Russell is being honest with us.
According to police, she looked up “do you have to pay for an amber alert or search” and “how to take money from a register without being caught” during the two days before she vanished. She also looked up “Birmingham bus station,” “one way bus ticket from Birmingham to Nashville,” and the Liam Neeson movie Taken.
Derzis added that further searches were made on Carlee’s phone that “appear to shed some light on her mindset,” but “out of respect for her privacy, we will not be releasing the content of those searches at this time.”
Thomas Latrell Simmons, her boyfriend, recently intervened to ask that people “think about her mental health” and refrain from making remarks.
On July 22, he told The New York Post, “The only thing I can say is, I want everyone to stop bullying her.” “I am aware of what she seems to have done. Just put an end to cyberbullying.
She doesn’t deserve that, Simmons continued. She refuses. Nobody should experience cyberbullying.

Jason Kelce Smashes Football Fan’s Phone
Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce destroyed a Penn State football fan’s phone after the alleged heckler called his brother, Travis Kelce, a fag.
In now-viral footage published on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great was seen accompanied by football fans outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., for the Penn State-Ohio State game.
As the individual capturing the tape lifted a fist to Jason, 36, and called his name for a fist bump, another man nearby hurled the homophobic slur at the retired Philadelphia Eagles star.
Hey, Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a queer dating Taylor Swift?” the man questioned, referring to Travis, 34, who has been seeing Swift since 2023. Jason turned around seconds later, snatched the man’s phone, and crushed it to the ground.
“Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason,” the original X user who submitted the video remarked. “Wild scene in State College.”
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?”
Jason Kelce proceeded to slam this kids phone on the ground.

Additional footage on X shows Jason smashing the phone on asphalt before picking it up and walking away. The phone’s owner, wearing a Penn State hoodie at the time of the incident, was shown in many videos strolling closely behind Jason and recording him before the conflict occurred.
Another footage published on X, which appears to have been filmed after Jason shattered the man’s phone, showed the hooded Penn State supporter trudging through a mob to pick up his phone off the ground.
“Give me my phone, bro,” he seemed to say to Jason.
The NFL alum seized the gadget first, then stood in front of the man and asked, “Who’s the fag now?” Others appeared to interfere.
The incident occurred while Jason was at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13 over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Hollywood actress Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” has passed away at 79. She died Tuesday of multiple sclerosis “surrounded by family and friends,” said publicist Heidi Schaeffer.
Admirers took to social media in her honor, with writer-director Paul Feig calling her “truly one of my comedy heroes. I couldn’t have loved her more” and screenwriter Cinco Paul saying: “Never the star, but always shining. She made everything she was in better.”
Throughout her career, the performer, often known as Terri, Terry, or Terry Ann, seemed destined for show business from a young age.
Her father was Eddie Garr, a well-known vaudeville comic, and her mother was Phyllis Lind, one of the original high-kicking Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Their daughter began dancing classes at six and was performing with the San Francisco and Los Angeles ballet companies by age fourteen.
She was 16 years old when she joined the road crew of “West Side Story” in Los Angeles, and she began starring in small roles in films as early as 1963.
In an interview from 1988, she described how she landed the role in “West Side Story.” After being rejected at her initial audition, she returned the following day dressed differently and was accepted.
Teri Garr, a comedian
Teri Garr then found steady work as a movie dancer, appearing in the chorus of nine Elvis Presley films, including “Viva Las Vegas,” “Roustabout,” and “Clambake.”
She has also appeared on various television shows, including “Star Trek,” “Dr. Kildare,” and “Batman,” and was a featured dancer on the rock ‘n’ roll music show “Shindig,” the rock concert performance “T.A.M.I.,” and a cast member of “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.”
Her breakthrough role was as Gene Hackman’s girlfriend in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 thriller The Conversation. This led to an interview with Mel Brooks, who offered her the Gene Wilder’s German lab assistant role in Young Frankenstein if she could speak with a German accent.
“Cher had this German woman, Renata, making wigs, so I got the accent from her,” Garr once said.
The film established her as a great comic performer, with New Yorker film writer Pauline Kael calling her “the funniest neurotic dizzy dame on screen.”
Her big smile and off-center appeal helped her land roles in “Oh, God!” with George Burns and John Denver, “Mr. Mom” (as Michael Keaton’s wife), and “Tootsie,” in which she played the girlfriend who loses Dustin Hoffman to Jessica Lange and discovers he has dressed up as a woman to revive his career.
A gift for spontaneous humor
Teri Garr, best known for comedy, has shown in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion, and The Escape Artist that she can also tackle drama.
She had a gift for spontaneous humor, frequently playing David Letterman’s foil during early guest appearances on N.B.C.’s “Late Night With David Letterman”.
Her appearances grew so frequent, and the pair’s good-natured bickering so convincing that rumors of romantic involvement circulated for a while. Years later, Letterman acknowledged those early appearances with helping the program become a success.
During those years, Garr began to experience “a little beeping or ticking” in her right leg. It started in 1983 and expanded to her right arm, but she thought she could handle it. By 1999, her symptoms had gotten so bad that she saw a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
After disclosing her diagnosis, Garr became a spokesman for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, giving hilarious remarks at events in the United States and Canada.
