"This man is responsible for chirping in everybody's ear. And this man-after the challenge today-was openly in my face questioning me, and then when I walked away, he said my name out loud to a group of people. [He was] holding court, and this man should be keeping his mouth shut. Because last night, this man organized and colluded to get rid of a good Faithful. I'm angry, I'm pissed off, and I'm isolated because of him," Rapaport continued. "Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you."
Obnoxious jewellery dealer Rodney Manderson has been killed outside the Bowery auction rooms, stabbed through the eye with the Victorian hatpin that his boss, Rose Bowery, has brandished in front of the nation on Bargain Hunt.

A U.S. District Court judge sentenced Corado, 56, to 33 months in federal prison and ordered her to pay $956,215 in restitution for wire fraud tied to pandemic relief funds awarded to Casa Ruby.

Wrestling gave me everything. It broke me. Built me. Tested me. Somehow still made me fall in love with it again. 2025 wasn't about being showcased. It was about going back to the indies, back to the grind, back to the reason I started -and remembering exactly who the hell I am.
"No, not yet. I am waiting until I am serious with someone, and until then, I am only doing oral and mutual masturbation. My reply, "That is sex!" This usually gets a response of, "Well, I meant f*cking," which they equate to sex. Nothing else. I have to remind my clients that fellatio and cunnilingus is called "oral sex" for a reason.
