  • Blac Chyna Blasts Tristan Thompson for Calling Her Daughter Dream His ‘Daughter’


    Blac Chyna is reacting to comments that Tristan Thompson made about her daughter Dream on a recent social media post. 

    The 36-year-old rapper — whose real name is Angela White — asked Thompson to stop “clout chasing” after he posted a video in which he referred to her 8-year-old daughter with Rob Kardashian as his “oldest daughter.”

    A video shared on Instagram by Hollywood Unlocked shows the NBA player saying some words with “a message to Dream and True” written over the footage. In the short clip, he said, “I have two daughters, and their names are Dream, [who] is my oldest daughter, and True is the second oldest. Those are my two girls, and I miss you guys so much. And I love you guys.”

    Under the post, Chyna commented, “Dream has one mother, Angela White, and one father, Robert Kardashian.”

    She continued, “I usually don’t speak up, but I’m done. Stop all this clout chasing involving my daughter!”

    “As parents, we have joint custody, and we also have a beautiful, healthy co-parenting relationship,” she concluded her message.

    Chyna’s daughter Dream and Thompson’s daughter True, 6, frequently hang out together at Khloé Kardashian’s home. The pair can often be seen in videos The Kardashian star, 40, posts of them dancing and having fun at her home.

    Earlier this week, Khloé even shared a video showing the two girls busting a move in their pink pajamas in different spots in her house after dinner — which isn’t out of the usual for the cousins. They have previously been videoed dancing to Whitney Houston and Beyoncé.

    “Our nightly routine,” the Good American co-founder captioned one clip on her Instagram Stories of her daughter True and niece Dream performing a routine to “What’s My Name” from Descendants 2. “I really think dancing after dinner is good for our souls.”

    “Somehow my counters have turned into stages,” she added alongside another video of the pair dancing atop her gray marble countertops. “Way better than the tables I used to dance on at the cleerrrbb.”

    Along with True, Thompson shares son Tatum, 2, with Khloé. He also shares son Prince Oliver, 8, with model Jordan Craig, and son Theo, 3, with model Maralee Nichols.

    Last year on the SHE MD podcast, Khloé opened up about her co-parenting relationship with Thompson, whom she split from in 2022, saying, “We get along so well now.”

    “We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids. And we do get along so well, and I’m really grateful for that because my parents got along so well,” she added, referring to her parents Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian Sr., who divorced in 1991.





    Blac Chyna Blasts Tristan Thompson for Calling Her Daughter Dream His ‘Daughter’

    Reality TV star Blac Chyna has taken to social media to express her anger towards NBA player Tristan Thompson for referring to her daughter Dream as his ‘daughter’. Chyna, who shares Dream with her ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian, was quick to set the record straight and make it clear that Thompson has no right to claim her child as his own.

    In a series of now-deleted tweets, Chyna slammed Thompson for his comments and accused him of trying to overstep his boundaries. She made it clear that Dream is her daughter and no one else’s, and that Thompson should not be trying to insert himself into their family dynamic.

    Fans were quick to show their support for Chyna, with many praising her for standing up for herself and her daughter. Some even called Thompson out for his actions, accusing him of being disrespectful and out of line.

    It remains to be seen how Thompson will respond to Chyna’s comments, but one thing is for sure – she will not back down when it comes to protecting her daughter. Dream is her pride and joy, and no one will take that away from her.

  • CM Punk Blasts Seth Rollins For “Ignorant And Stupid” WWE Outfits – TJR Wrestling


    CM Punk isn’t a fan of what Seth “Freakin” Rollins likes to wear on WWE television.

    The main event of WWE Monday Night Raw’s first episode of Netflix saw former World Champions CM Punk and Seth “Freakin” Rollins face off in a highly anticipated main event.

    In the weeks leading up to the match, Punk and Rollins took personal shots at each other. While Rollins trashed Punk often for quitting WWE in 2014 and trashing the company after, Punk liked to mock Rollins for his theme song (Punk thinks it’s annoying) as well as Seth’s wardrobe choices on WWE television.

    For the past few years, Rollins went from dressing flashy to wearing some ridiculous, over-the-top outfits that make people wonder: “What is that guy wearing?” One outfit in particular that got a lot of attention saw Rollins wearing some giant red boots looking like they came from a video game or perhaps a clown in a circus.

    In an interview that saw him go Sneaker Shopping with Complex, CM Punk didn’t hold back when Seth’s big red boots were mentioned.

    “Completely ignorant and stupid. I don’t know why anyone, outside of being in a movie or a television show, would wear those in real life. I’m not trying to gatekeep shoes or anything like that. It seems a little too ‘notice me’ for me.”

    CM Punk Considered A Favorite In Men’s Royal Rumble Match

    After his big win over Seth Rollins on Raw, CM Punk declared that he would be taking part in the Men’s Royal Rumble match on February 1st in Indianapolis.

    “46 [Punk’s age] is just a number. 1 through 30, just numbers. Royal Rumble, you’re next on the list. Gunther, I’m coming for you. Cody, I’m coming for you. I’m Mr. October. I’m Game 7. I am clutch. I am the best in the world.”

    A lot of other big names will be in the Royal Rumble including John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Rey Mysterio. Many of those men have won Royal Rumbles in the past and have World Titles on their resume as well, so it won’t be easy for Punk or any of them to win this year’s Royal Rumble match.

    You can watch the WWE Royal Rumble when it streams live on Saturday, February 1, at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, exclusively on Peacock in the United States and Netflix internationally.



    In a recent interview, CM Punk didn’t hold back his criticism of Seth Rollins’ WWE outfits, calling them “ignorant and stupid.” Punk, who is known for his own unique style in the ring, took issue with Rollins’ choice of attire, stating that it doesn’t reflect his personality or character.

    Punk went on to explain that Rollins’ outfits seem to be more about trying to stand out and get attention, rather than truly expressing who he is as a wrestler. He urged Rollins to take a step back and reconsider his wardrobe choices, suggesting that he should be more authentic and true to himself.

    This isn’t the first time Punk has spoken out about WWE superstars and their fashion choices, but his comments about Rollins have certainly sparked a debate among fans. While some agree with Punk’s assessment, others argue that Rollins’ outfits are a part of his persona and help him connect with the audience.

    Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s clear that Punk’s critique has struck a chord with many in the wrestling community. As Rollins continues to evolve his character and style, it will be interesting to see if he takes Punk’s advice to heart and makes changes to his wardrobe in the future.

  • Sally Struthers Blasts Norman Lear, Tried to Leave ‘All in the Family’


    • Sally Struthers, who played Gloria on All in the Family, opened up about her unpleasant memories of creator Norman Lear
    • Struthers said that Lear never invited her over for dinner and that he told her he only cast her because she had “blue eyes and a fat face”
    • The actress also said she spent $40,000 in legal fees trying to leave All in the Family after the fifth season, but lost and returned for three more seasons

    Sally Struthers is getting honest about her time on the series All in the Family and showrunner Norman Lear. On the Jan. 13 episode of Let’s Talk About That! With Larry Saperstein and Jacob Bellotti, the actress, 77, opened up about working with the acclaimed producer, who died in 2023 at age 101

    Struthers told the podcast hosts that she felt comfortable opening up about him now because “he’s gone.” She noted, “I wasn’t a huge fan of his.” 

    “All those years on the show, Norman and his wife would have dinner parties,” she said. They would invite the other stars of the show — Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton and Rob Reiner — and their spouses often. Struthers revealed, “I wasn’t, in eight years, invited to his home. It didn’t feel good.”

    Struthers also shared an upsetting exchange she said she had with Lear during the show’s first season, when the series was first finding success. “He was on the sound stage watching us rehearse, and we were on a break,” she said. 

    “I said, ‘I can’t believe that we’re doing this and we’re about to hit number one on the air,’ ” she remembered. After noting how he “saw so many young ladies” for her role of Gloria — including Reiner’s then-wife Penny Marshall — she asked Lear, “Was I really the funniest one? And he said, ‘No.’ ”

    Lear said that when they were casting the show, they thought it made more sense to have Gloria be a daddy’s girl because O’Connor’s Archie Bunker “was a lot to swallow for American audiences with his bigotry and his social sluts.” They could “soften him up” if he had a “soft spot in his heart for his daughter.”

    She remembered that Lear told her, “So we hired you because just like Carroll O’Connor, you have blue eyes and a fat face.” Struthers said she didn’t know how to respond to that and walked away.

    Later in the episode, Struthers said that even though she won two Emmys for the series, she was “fourth banana” on the show after the other three leads. She said the show’s “older, brilliant Jewish faith writers” knew how to write for the other characters, but not for “a young lady.”

    “I usually had about three lines per show that said, ‘I’ll help you set the table, Ma,’ ‘Michael, where are you going?’ and ‘Oh, Daddy, stop it.’ And then the next week I’d have the three same lines in a different order. And if they literally didn’t know what to do with me in a scene, they’d have me go upstairs to take a bath or wash my hair. It was very frustrating.”

    After five seasons, she took her contract to arbitration in hopes of leaving the show, she shared. She hired a lawyer, but after spending $40,000 on legal fees during arbitration, she lost. “I went back and had three more seasons, but they were by far the most fun for me. Because finally, they had Mike and Gloria have a baby, they had us move next door into the house that [the] Jeffersons lived in,” she said.

    All in the Family ran from 1971 to 1979 and Struthers appeared in 182 episodes. She also appeared in the spinoff Archie Bunker’s Place and her own short-lived spinoff Gloria. She also found TV fans once again decades later for her role as Babette on Gilmore Girls.

    Despite her mixed feelings about the series, Struthers said that part of her longevity as an actress is because she was “lucky enough to be on a groundbreaking national television series.” She reunited with Reiner in early 2024 for a tribute to Lear and the series at the delayed 2023 Emmy Awards.

    Struthers still does a lot of theater in addition to her TV work in shows like A Man on the Inside, and she said audiences are still “curious” to come see her in person at 77.

    She joked, “Maybe because they love you or like you, but just as much because ‘Wait a minute, is she still alive? Let’s go see what she looks like now.’ ”



    Sally Struthers, who played Gloria Stivic on the hit sitcom “All in the Family,” recently made headlines for blasting the show’s creator, Norman Lear. In a candid interview, Struthers revealed that she had tried to leave the show multiple times during its run.

    Struthers claimed that Lear was difficult to work with and often clashed with the cast members. She also expressed frustration with the direction of her character, Gloria, and felt that her talents were being underutilized.

    Despite her efforts to leave the show, Struthers ultimately stayed on until the series ended in 1979. However, her comments have sparked a debate among fans of the show, with some siding with Lear and others supporting Struthers’ decision to speak out.

    As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Lear will respond to Struthers’ accusations. In the meantime, fans of “All in the Family” are left wondering what could have been if Gloria had indeed left the show.

  • Timothée Chalamet’s Sister Pauline Blasts Kylie Jenner In Bold Online Post


    There’s a chance Timothée Chalamet’s sister isn’t the biggest fan of her brother’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner — specifically in regards to her wealth.

    It’s no surprise the 27-year-old has quite a lot of money at her disposal, and Pauline Chalamet appeared to make a subtle dig after she endorsed Bernie Sanders’ bold tweet on billionaires following Donald Trump’s inauguration.

    Did Timothée Chalamet’s sister make a jab at Kylie Jenner?

    She was quick to reshare the politician’s thoughts, claiming that America’s system was “so flawed,” since it allowed billionaires to “barely pay (and sometimes not pay)” any taxes. 

    “This should not be possible,” she added in the now-deleted post. “Billionaires do not need to exist.”

    Now enter her sibling’s beau — a billionaire herself. Not only that, but she was considered one of the most famous, according to Forbes in 2019.

    This caused a few people to raise some eyebrows, especially as they pulled up a message she reposted just last year from nonprofit organization Move On.

    The tweet read, “If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.”

    A tweet Pauline reposted last year has resurfaced

    It eerily mirrors exactly what the Kylie Cosmetics founder owns: a private jet called Kylie Air, as reported by Daily Mail. And while it is still unclear whether she “writes off” her private jet as a business expense, many on social media have slammed her for her carbon dioxide emissions.

    It’s not yet known whether Pauline meant those messages as a jab to the Keeping With The Kardashians star, but fans have already come to their own conclusions.

    “Pauline has every right to express her beliefs and I agree with them,” wrote one user. “Also as a sister, I’d be horrified if my extremely talented A list younger brother was dating a Kardashian/Jenner. He doesn’t need her money and she didn’t earn it more than attaching her name to a corporation.”

    “Could you imagine your son or brother coming home with Kardashian?” another asked. “His family needs to be concerned.”

    Despite the noise online, both Kylie and Timothée seem to be in a happy, healthy place in their relationship.

    As per the abovementioned outlet, the two were last seen in Paris on January 16 when the Dune actor was promoting his new film A Complete Unknown, a musical/drama movie that was released on Christmas Day. The 29-year-old took on the titular role of Bob Dylan.

    Two weeks ahead of that, they attended the 2025 Golden Globes together in Los Angeles, this being the second year in a row that Timothée invited the beauty mogul as a plus one.

    Now, they’re looking forward to the French actor’s second Best Actor Oscar nomination, announced on the morning of January 23.

    “[She] had a feeling Timothée was going to be nominated but actually seeing his name pop up on the TV screen was incredible,” a source shared to Elle, adding that Kylie was practically “screaming with excitement” at the news.

    “[She] is ecstatic, and she’s so proud of him. Kylie is absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to see Timothée in person so they can celebrate this special moment in his life.”

    The post Timothée Chalamet’s Sister Pauline Blasts Kylie Jenner In Bold Online Post first appeared on Bored Panda.





    Timothée Chalamet’s Sister Pauline is not afraid to speak her mind, and she recently took to social media to blast Kylie Jenner in a bold online post.

    In the post, Pauline called out Jenner for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and perpetuating harmful ideals of perfection. She criticized the reality TV star turned makeup mogul for constantly altering her appearance through cosmetic procedures, sending a damaging message to her millions of impressionable followers.

    Pauline urged Jenner to use her platform for more positive influence and to embrace her natural beauty instead of constantly chasing after an unattainable image of perfection.

    The post quickly gained traction online, with many applauding Pauline for speaking out against the harmful effects of celebrity culture on young people’s self-esteem and body image.

    It’s clear that Pauline is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and her bold online post serves as a reminder to all of us to question the messages we consume and the ideals we strive for in today’s social media-driven world.

  • C-SPAN caller disrupts Trump inauguration coverage, blasts CFP for leaving Alabama out


    C-SPAN’s coverage of Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday was briefly derailed by a caller who believed the College Football Playoff committee wronged the Alabama Crimson Tide.

    “I’m a bit more disappointed in the selection committee for not picking Alabama for the College Football Playoff finals,” the caller said. “Accepting inferior teams like SMU and Indiana … truly dark times in America.”

    The caller was quickly cut off.

    The CFP national championship between Notre Dame and Ohio State takes place Monday night in Atlanta.

    For those that need a refresher, the Tide was one spot outside of the College Football Playoff field, with SMU taking the final spot in the bracket ahead of Alabama.

    The decision made for quite the debate in college football circles.

    The Mustangs fell for the second time in their season when they lost in the ACC championship game. Meanwhile, Alabama had three losses and didn’t qualify for the SEC Championship Game. However, SMU lacked the marquee wins the Crimson Tide had.

    “We looked at the number of wins Alabama had against ranked opponents,” CFP selection committee chair Warde Manuel said of the decision last month. “We looked at SMU’s schedule. They were undefeated in-conference. Their losses were to ranked teams. But we also looked at Alabama’s losses to unranked teams (Vanderbilt and Oklahoma). It was quite a debate.”

    It was one of just many unusual moments of Trump’s inauguration day. Trump said he is going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood performed, despite a technical glitch that left people even more impressed with the singer’s performance.

    Mark Heim is a reporter for The Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Mark_Heim. He can be heard on “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.5 FM in Mobile or on the free Sound of Mobile App from 6 to 9 a.m. daily.





    On January 20th, as millions tuned in to watch President Donald Trump’s inauguration, one unexpected caller managed to steal the spotlight. A caller on C-SPAN disrupted the coverage to blast the College Football Playoff for leaving out the University of Alabama.

    In a passionate tirade, the caller expressed their frustration with the CFP selection committee’s decision to exclude Alabama from the playoff, despite their impressive record and strong performance throughout the season. The caller argued that Alabama deserved a spot in the playoff and criticized the committee for what they perceived as unfair treatment.

    The unexpected outburst caught the hosts and viewers off guard, but it also sparked a lively debate on social media. Some praised the caller for standing up for their team, while others criticized them for hijacking the coverage of a historic event.

    Regardless of where you stand on the issue, one thing is clear: sports fans are passionate and will go to great lengths to defend their team. And in this case, it was a C-SPAN caller who made sure that their voice was heard, even during a moment as significant as a presidential inauguration.

  • Tammy Duckworth Blasts ‘Absolutely Clueless’ Pete Hegseth, Senate GOP


    The Department of Defense is the largest employer in the United States, sending out paychecks to 2.1 million service members and more than 770,000 civilians. Its annual budget — $900 billion dollars — is larger than the GDP of Switzerland. With an estimated 750 bases in at least 80 countries, it is an extraordinarily complicated and important organization. And, to run it, Donald Trump picked a Fox News haircut with (an alleged) drinking problem.

    It’s hard to emphasize just how wildly unqualified Pete Hegseth is for the top job at the Pentagon — but at his Senate Armed Services committee hearing on Tuesday, Hegseth did a pretty good job of making the argument himself. “Over and over again, he said, ‘Oh, I’m not that experienced, but I’m going to hire people smarter than myself to do this,’” says Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), a member of the committee. “And that the whole day, I was thinking, ‘Then why don’t we just hire somebody smarter than you for the job?’” 

    Asked by Duckworth to name the three international security negotiations that the Secretary of Defense personally leads on behalf of the United States, Hegseth balked. “…NATO?” he offered, lamely. In case you’re curious, they are: a Status of Forces Agreement, which delineates how military personnel can operate inside another county (Korea, for instance); an Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement, a type of treaty that pertains to shared logistics (a security agreement the U.S. has with countries like Latvia); and a Defense Trade Cooperation Treaties, which relates to moving or sharing equipment (like the nuclear submarine deal hatched by the U.S., U.K. and Australia).

    In his opening statement, Hegseth spoke about the importance of deterring Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific. A key component of the Trump administration’s strategy in the Indo-Pacific was a reliance on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. Duckworth recalled, “I thought, okay, great… I’m going to lob him some softballs, right?” She went on to ask if he could name the countries in ASEAN, or even how many there were.

    “I know we have allies in South Korea and Japan, and in AUKUS with Australia,” Hegseth offered — none of which are members of association. (For the record, ASEAN is made up of 10 South Asian countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.)

    “The man is absolutely clueless,” Duckworth assesses bluntly to Rolling Stone. A woman and a combat veteran who lost both legs in Iraq, Duckworth voted to confirm both Mark Esper and James Mattis, Trump’s nominees for Secretary of Defense in his first term. Even as she disagreed politically with Esper, Duckworth says, “He was competent and he could do his job, and he could go to Singapore, to [the Asian Defense Summit], the Shangri-La Dialogue, and go toe-to-toe with the Chinese defense secretary — and, I’m sorry, but Hegseth is not going to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Chinese defense secretary, and think that he’s going to gee-shucks smile his way out of that type of a situation.”

    Duckworth will not be supporting Hegseth’s nomination, which she says sends a chilling message not just to men and women in the U.S. military, but to other nations as well. 

    ”It says that we don’t care about their lives,” Duckworth says. “We ask our servicemen and women to be tactically proficient, technically proficient, so that they can do their jobs under any conditions — even under fire, even as you’re dying and bleeding to death, our troops are going to fight back, because they are trained to carry out the mission. And yet to have a secretary of defense that’s going to make decisions that will commit their lives to defending America, who doesn’t understand how to negotiate the best deal? It is really scary.”

    At the same time that Hegseth was displaying a woefully inadequate grasp of the basic contours of the job he wants, he was also blithely threatening to fire the admirals and generals currently serving in the Pentagon. If that happens, Duckworth says, service members will be the ones who bear the burden: “All of the top leadership — with the experience, who can tactically plan a combat operation — are going to be gone, and you’re gonna have a bunch of hacks who have never commanded anything more than 200 personnel, who are gonna decide whether or not you go fight in Greenland or Panama, wherever. It’s really demoralizing.”

    Her Republican colleagues appear, nonetheless, ready to confirm Hegseth, she says. “We have a Republican Party in the Senate that is on its knees in front of Donald Trump, and not a single one of them are willing to stand up — at least not on the Armed Services Committee.”



    In a recent interview, Senator Tammy Duckworth didn’t hold back in her criticism of Fox News host Pete Hegseth and Senate Republicans. Duckworth, a Democrat from Illinois and a combat veteran, slammed Hegseth for his comments on military service and accused Senate Republicans of being “absolutely clueless” when it comes to understanding the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform.

    Hegseth, who never served in the military, has faced backlash for his controversial remarks about Duckworth and other veterans. During a segment on Fox News, Hegseth questioned Duckworth’s loyalty to the country and suggested that she cared more about “identity politics” than the well-being of the nation. Duckworth fired back, calling Hegseth’s comments “disgraceful” and defending her record of service to the country.

    In her scathing rebuke of Senate Republicans, Duckworth criticized them for not doing enough to support veterans and their families. She called out their lack of action on important issues like healthcare, education, and job opportunities for veterans, accusing them of being out of touch with the needs of those who have served our country.

    Duckworth’s passionate defense of veterans and her strong condemnation of Hegseth and Senate Republicans has sparked a heated debate on social media and in political circles. As a vocal advocate for veterans’ rights and a respected voice in the Senate, Duckworth’s words carry weight and are sure to have an impact on the ongoing conversation about military service and the treatment of those who have served.

  • Jersey Mike’s employee blasts RHONJ’s Jennifer Aydin in expletive-filled rant after her viral meltdown

    Jersey Mike’s employee blasts RHONJ’s Jennifer Aydin in expletive-filled rant after her viral meltdown


    Jennifer Aydin‘s viral meltdown at a Jersey Mike’s Subs has sparked an equally fiery response from an alleged employee of the chain who claims to have witnessed the chaos firsthand.

    The drama unfolded when the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 47, filmed herself venting in line at the sandwich shop, loudly declaring, ‘I’m a f*****g celebrity’ and hurling insults at an employee she described as an ’80-year-old.’

    As Aydin’s outburst made waves online, a TikTok user, @amxndaa.x, who appeared to be wearing a Jersey Mike’s uniform, posted her own expletive-laden reaction.

    In the video, she begins, ‘I really hope this stupid b***h has TikTok. I really hope I come up on your ‘For You’ page, b***h. I hope you recognize me.’

    The employee went on to allege that Aydin caused delays by holding up the line, struggling to decide what to order, and even placing orders for people who weren’t in line. 

    ‘Like, girl, that’s not how that works,’ she said pointedly.

    According to @amxndaa.x, tensions escalated when employees told Aydin she needed to rejoin the line to order additional items. 

    That’s when the reality star allegedly ‘started tweaking,’ shouting about her ‘celebrity’ status, threatening lawsuits, and recording the staff.

    ‘She starts recording all of us, and she posts it,’ the employee said, adding a final piece of advice for Aydin: ‘Learn how to order.’

    The TikTok user captioned her emotional video, ‘I’m so pissed because we literally can’t say s*** to they [sic] face.’ 

    In the original video obtained by a Bravo fan account, Aydin, said she was ‘so mad’ at waiting in line for ‘what felt like forever’ and said a customer who had ordered after her has already received their food.

    She said: ‘Everything was slow … we get it. It’s early in the morning, you’re in a bad mood, it’s New Year’s — you’re working. I’d be pissed, too.’

    She claimed the employee ‘acted like she couldn’t hear them’ adding ‘the 80-year-old that was working there, the amount of time she took to cut that bread was almost as much as we were waiting on that line.’

    As she tried to add to her order, she claimed she was told to ‘get back in line’ or ask another customer if it was ok to do so.

    The man told Aydin her request to do so was ‘ridiculous’ leading Aydin to brand him a ‘freakin jerk’ and started filming him.

    Aydin claimed the man said he would ‘sue her for her fake jewelry’ if she shared the video.

    She said: ‘Fake diamonds, b***h? What you don’t know — you better ask somebody, Please.’

    She told another customer: ‘I am a f***ing celebrity, you asshole!’ and tagged Jersey Mikes in the post.

    Fans quickly rounded on Aydin with one writing: ‘DID YOU JUST MAKE FUN OF AN ELDERLY PERSON. Your disgusting 

    Others wrote: ‘such a brat’ and ‘so rich she’s at newark airport jersey mikes.’





    Jersey Mike’s employee goes off on Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Aydin in an expletive-filled rant following her recent viral meltdown.

    In a now-deleted Instagram post, the employee, who goes by the handle @subwayshater69, unleashed a tirade against Aydin, accusing her of being entitled, rude, and disrespectful during her recent visit to the fast-food chain.

    “Can’t believe this b*tch Jennifer Aydin had the nerve to come into our store and act like she owns the place. She was yelling at my coworkers, demanding special treatment, and acting like a total diva,” the post read.

    The employee continued, “I’ve never seen someone with such a big ego and such a small brain. She thinks she’s hot sh*t just because she’s on a reality show, but let me tell you, she’s nothing but a pathetic excuse for a human being.”

    The post quickly went viral, with many social media users chiming in to share their own negative experiences with Aydin. Some even called for a boycott of her businesses and appearances on the reality show.

    Aydin has yet to respond to the employee’s rant, but it’s clear that her behavior has not gone unnoticed by those who have encountered her in real life. Hopefully, this incident will serve as a wake-up call for Aydin to check her attitude and treat others with respect.

  • ESPN blasts T.J. Watt for low pressure rate, snubs Steelers star from All-Pro team

    ESPN blasts T.J. Watt for low pressure rate, snubs Steelers star from All-Pro team


    With the 2024 season coming to a close, the NFL honors are starting to roll out. On January 2, the NFL released the 2025 Pro Bowl Games roster, and four Pittsburgh Steelers made the list. Next up are the All-Pro honors.

    All-Pros hold more weight than Pro Bowls as the fans do not vote on them and they consider all NFL players—not just AFC or NFC. These honors play a key factor when considering which players belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The All-Pro honors recognized by the league are voted on by the Associated Press.

    Over the years, however, media platforms and NFL analysts have taken the liberty of constructing their own NFL honors. Recently, Bill Barnwell of ESPN put together his 2024 All-Pro team, and T.J. Watt was not included.

    Not only did Barnwell leave Watt off the list, but he also criticized the team’s pass-rush effectiveness when Watt is on the field—noting that the Steelers have a higher pressure rate when he’s on the sidelines.

    In Watt’s place, Barnwell has Bengals star Trey Hendrickson and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett as the two edge rushers making his 2024 All-Pro roster. Hendrickson and Garrett lead the NFL in sacks heading into the final week of the season.

    T.J. Watt deserves more respect than he’s been receiving

    Up until Week 18, T.J. Watt led the field in Defensive Player of the Year odds despite a down season statistically. This has caused some to spin a narrative that Watt is overrated. New analytics play a factor in this mindset.

    Barnwell notes that Watt ranks 65th in pressure rate among all players who rush the quarterback at least 20 times per game while ranking 47th in a metric that measures how often pass rushers get to the QB in under 2.5 seconds.

    While the ability to create rapid pressure is important, it doesn’t account for everything. In terms of measurable numbers, Watt still ranks 4th in the NFL in sacks (11.5), 2nd in tackles for a loss (19), and 1st in forced fumbles (6)—all the while aiding a Steelers defense that ranks 7th in points per game allowed (20.5).

    It’s easy to see that Watt didn’t have the best season of his career in 2024, but to tear him down for having an unspectacular pressure rate is uncalled for.

    It’s important to remember that this is ESPN’s All-Pro team; not the Associated Press All-Pro honors that count towards a payer’s résumé. Let’s hope T.J. Watt hears all the analytical arguments against him and uses them as fuel to the fire in the playoffs.



    ESPN has come under fire for its recent criticism of Pittsburgh Steelers’ standout defensive player T.J. Watt. The network’s analysts have been quick to point out Watt’s low pressure rate compared to other top pass rushers in the league, leading to questions about his impact on the field.

    Despite Watt’s impressive stats and game-changing plays, ESPN has chosen to snub the star player from their All-Pro team, sparking outrage among Steelers fans and NFL enthusiasts alike. Many believe that Watt’s contributions to the team and his ability to disrupt opposing offenses should not be overlooked simply based on one metric.

    As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: T.J. Watt’s talent and skill on the field cannot be denied, and it’s a shame to see him being unfairly criticized and left off of prestigious lists like the All-Pro team. Hopefully, ESPN will reconsider their stance and give Watt the recognition he deserves as one of the top defensive players in the league.
