Andrew Tate Moved to House Arrest in Romania

A Romanian judge ordered that controversial social media influencer and former kickboxer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan be immediately transferred from custody to house arrest.

The decision by the Bucharest Court of Appeal replaces the most recent period of detention, which was set to end on April 29.

According to the BBC, Georgiana Naghel and two other associates, Luana Radu, have also been released.

Unless they have judicial permission to leave, all four have been ordered to remain in their buildings.

The Tate brothers were “ecstatic,” according to a spokeswoman for the BBC.

The brothers have been detained since December and are being investigated for rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal organization. Both men have denied any wrongdoing.

Andrew Tate’s lawyers have argued that keeping him in preventative custody is unnecessarily harsh, especially when other legal options, such as house arrest, are available.

The BBC obtained court documents that detailed testimony from alleged victims who claimed they were forced to earn €10,000 (£8,800) per month on social media platforms under the threat of physical violence.

Court documents also described the debt as “a form of psychological coercion.”

Prosecutors have identified six women as victims since the investigation began last April.

However, no charges have been filed against the brothers or their two Romanian associates who were arrested with them.

Andrew Tate, a British-American former kickboxer, was kicked off the British TV show Big Brother in 2016 after a video surfaced showing him allegedly assaulting a woman.

He became well-known online, with Twitter banning him for saying that women should “bear responsibility” for sexual assault. He was later reinstated.

Despite social media bans, he rose to prominence, particularly among young men, by promoting a hyper-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle.

Who is Andrew Tate

Emory Andrew Tate is a British-American social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer born on December 1, 1986.

Tate and his younger brother Tristan stated they were poor in England. In interviews, they recalled going to KFC to save other people’s leftover chicken and freezing it for future meals.

Tate was a four-time kickboxing world champion but rose to prominence online.

Videos with the hashtag #AndrewTate have been viewed over 12.7 billion times on TikTok. This figure includes videos made by people who are critical of the influencer.

Tate started kickboxing in 2005 and won his first championship in 2009. He gained wider attention in 2016 when he appeared on the British reality show Big Brother and was fired after his social media comments sparked controversy.

He began selling paid courses and memberships on his website and quickly became an internet celebrity, promoting an “ultra-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle.” Tate, a self-described misogynist, has been suspended from several social media platforms due to his controversial comments.

Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested in Romania on December 29, 2022, along with two women; all four are suspected of human trafficking and forming an organized crime group. According to Romanian police, the group coerced victims into creating paid pornography for social media.

Tate has appeared in numerous videos, flaunting an ultra-luxurious lifestyle that includes fast cars, private jets, and yachts.

He had a Twitter spat with environmental activist Greta Thunberg shortly before his arrest in December 2022.

He claimed to own 33 vehicles and promised to send her a list of their “respective enormous emissions.”

Jason Kelce Smashes College 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.”

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.

Shaun White, the Olympic snowboarding champion, already has an impressive medal tally, but his surprise proposal to Nina Dobrev deserves a gold medal.

On Wednesday, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram. Dobrev posted photographs of the two hugging under an arch of white roses and showing off her five-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

“RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé,” Dobrev said in the caption.

However, the photographs only tell half the tale, as Shaun devised an elaborate plan to surprise Dobrev with his proposal.

Shaun White’s Proposal To Nina Dobrev Was Romantic Gold

According to a Vogue interview published Wednesday, Shaun said he assembled a team of people from the couple’s inner circle and Vogue personnel to trick Dobrev into thinking she had been invited to an intimate dinner party with Anna Wintour.

White claimed that his publicist emailed Dobrev a forged invitation to the event, which was scheduled to take place at the Golden Swan in New York City.

Dobrev accepted the invitation, joking that Shaun made it “look so legitimate.”

He even asked Dobrev’s stylist to outfit her in Chanel for the event.

Dobrev said she recognized what was happening when she entered the venue and saw White standing beneath the flowery arch.

“Best night of my life,” Shaun captioned his Instagram story on Wednesday.

The duo first became romantically involved in 2020, and they have since publicly recorded their relationship, globe vacations, and White’s Olympic farewell on social media.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like "Young Frankenstein" and "Tootsie," has passed 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.
