A sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln in an apparent suicide attempt is now being disciplined by the Navy.

Citing court records and the sailor's wife, MS NOW says the Navy is punishing the sailor for violating 2 articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The outlet reports the sailor allegedly ran afoul of Article 83, which states that a service member intentionally fakes an illness or hurts themselves to avoid work, duty, or service. He also allegedly violated Article 86, which means that a service member failed to be at their required place of duty without proper authority. 

The sailor's wife told MS NOW, "I think they're insane for doing this to people who need mental help ... Instead of giving them help, this is just another huge stressor."

Tim Curry is being remembered by the very production that made him famous ... with Broadway's 'Rocky Horror Show' cast giving him major kudos, including the actor who now plays Tim's iconic role.

During Wednesday's Broadway revival of the film, the cast turned serious as they paid homage to Tim, with Paul Soileau leading the tribute.

Paul told the crowd, "If you trace it all back, 53 years ago there's one home and one vessel; one mothership that Frank-N-Furter can actually call home. And it's Tim Curry." The audience burst out in applause, chanting "Tim! Tim! Tim!"

We broke the story ... Tim died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles amid several health issues. The actor was best known for playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 cult classic movie, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is being accused of lying to the United States Senate ... because, while he said during his confirmation hearing his trip to Samoa wasn't about vaccines, letters he apparently wrote appear to say otherwise.

Here's the deal ... the Guardian and the Associated Press obtained letters RFK Jr. wrote to Tuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi -- the then-Prime Minister of Samoa -- in 2019 on behalf of the Children's Health Defense, the anti-vax organization RFK Jr. was part of.

In one letter to the PM, RFK Jr. mentioned vaccines eight times, including writing that he wanted to study "deaths associated with MMR vaccine" in the country and offering to perform a "detailed health informatics assessment" in Samoa about what happened with the MMR vaccine, which killed two kids. Improperly mixed doses were administered, and two nurses later pled guilty to manslaughter.

This wouldn't necessarily be an issue ... except during RFK Jr.'s Senate Confirmation Hearings to become the Secretary of Health and Human Services, he repeatedly denied his trip had anything to do with vaccines.
