Novak Djokovic "Nunca fui un antivacunas"

Yo apelaba a la libertad de elegir

A pesar de haber sido rechazado en varios torneos importantes por su negativa a vacunarse contra el COVID, Novak Djokovic insiste en que no es un antivacunas.

La superestrella del tenis, que acaba de conseguir su 24º gran campeonato con una victoria en el US Open este mes, explicó todo el asunto a John McEnroe durante una entrevista reciente para "McEnroe's Places", de Omaha Productions.

Djokovic le dijo al legendario tenista en el programa que su queja con la vacuna COVID no se relacionaba con si esta era eficaz o algo por el estilo, sino más bien con la forma en que se le estaba imponiendo a la gente, según él percibía.

"Nunca he sido antivacunas", dijo Djokovic. "Siempre he estado a favor de la libertad de elección. Y eso es algo que dimos por sentado. A mí no me pareció que mucha gente tuviera la posibilidad de elegir en realidad"

Djokovic le dijo a McEnroe que en el momento álgido de los mandatos y pasaportes de vacunación, se sintió como "un villano del mundo".

"Sólo quería competir", dijo, "y quería jugar tenis porque es lo que mejor se me da".

Aunque aparentemente sigue sin vacunarse contra el COVID, parece que Joker ha dejado todo el asunto atrás. El tenista ha dominado 2023 con su juego, ahora que los mandatos han disminuido, recuperando su puesto como tenista masculino número 1 del mundo.

De hecho, hace tan solo unos días, Barack y Michelle Obama -dos de los mayores defensores de las vacunas COVID- lo vieron en la cancha del US Open y lo animaron.

La entrevista completa de Djokovic con McEnroe, además del resto de la temporada de "McEnroe's Places", ya está disponible en ESPN+.

Kanye y Bianca de nuevo en Italia

Published | Updated

Kanye West y Bianca Censori han sido criticados por todo lo que han mostrado en Europa. Sin embargo, se niegan a cambiar su peculiar estilo por el momento.

La pareja sigue paseando por Italia y continúan mostrando más de lo común, especialmente Bianca, que no parece interesarse por la moda "convencional". El lunes fue fotografiada con su marido en Florencia y de nuevo puso sus "encantos" a la vista.

Recordemos que a ha recibido críticas por lo que muchas personas aparentemente ven como un atuendo inapropiado (y podemos ver por qué). El hecho de que estemos difuminando sus pezones lo dice todo.

En cuanto a Ye... bueno, él también está muy cómodo con su estilo. Durante una pequeña juerga sus pantalones se soltaron un poco dejando ver parte de su trasero (alguien debería recomendarle usar cinturón).

No se vio tanto como en su paseo en barco del otro día, pero fue suficiente para que lo expulsaran de cierto servicio de taxi/barco. Desde luego, no parece que Kanye lleve calzoncillos en lo absoluto.

En cuanto al estilo de la pareja... más de lo mismo, una extraña mezcla de alta costura futurista con una vibra distópica. La pareja parece vivir inmersa en su propia fantasía.

El otoño se acerca rápidamente. Tal vez las bajas temperaturas podrían forzar un cambio de estilo, de momento, no hay indicios de que vayan a ponerse tímidos.

Kanye & Bianca Hangin' Real Loose Again in Italy

Published | Updated

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been blasted for letting it all hang out in Europe -- and yet, they refuse to cover up ... opting for the commando look evermore, it seems.

The couple continues to gallivant in Italy, and yes ... they're still showing off the goods, especially Bianca -- who doesn't seem to believe in bras or regular tops. On Monday, she was photographed with her hubby in Florence ... and again put her boobs on display.

Remember, she's been catching heat over there for what many people apparently view as inappropriate attire -- and you can see why. The fact we're blurring her nipples says it all.

As for Ye ... well, he's also very comfortable in his own skin these days -- especially below the belt. During their little shopping spree here, his pants were sagging down below his booty a bit ... and some crack-age got flashed for the paps.

Not nearly as much booty as his boat ride the other day -- which was a cheek-full and then some, and enough to get him banned from a certain boat taxi service -- but it sure doesn't look like KW has any underpants on whatsoever. No support needed on either end!

As for the general fashion vibe from these two ... more of the same, really. It's a blend of futuristic homeless couture -- with a couple of models who look to be on a never-ending pilgrimage to Fantastica.

Fall is fast approaching ... ya gotta wonder if the lower temps might force their hand. So far, there's no indication they're going to start getting shy anytime soon.

Abogada de Kevin Costner Christine, ¿es una broma? ¿Quieres $885K para gastos de abogado?

Published | Updated

La abogada de Kevin Costner es incrédula y ha criticado a su ex esposa, Christine Baumgartner, por pedirle a un juez que le haga pagar $885.000 dólares para argumentar una sola cuestión en el tribunal de divorcio.

La experta en divorcios Laura Wasser presentó su respuesta a la solicitud de Christine, explicando que los honorarios serían supuestamente incurridos para un mini-juicio sobre un tema en el acuerdo prenupcial, esto, si su renuncia a la manutención conyugal es ejecutable.

Los abogados de Christine dicen que tomará $885k preparar su caso, y quieren que Kevin pague la factura. Sin embargo, Wasser respondió que basándose en los honorarios por hora, el equipo legal de Christine tendría que trabajar 1.106 horas para justificar el monto.

Wasser califica la petición de Christine como "nada menos que indignante", señalando también que el juez ya ha indicado que el acuerdo prenupcial es ejecutable, por lo que el camino de Christine es un callejón sin salida.

Christine no solo ha perdido la mayoría de las batallas legales del divorcio, en realidad ha perdido más que si hubiera llegado a un acuerdo con Kevin. Por ejemplo, en un principio ella quería 248.000 dólares de manutención al mes, a lo que Kevin rechazó contra argumentando que la cantidad razonable era de 63.000 dólares. Pese a ello, el actor se ofreció a pagarle 75.000 dólares al mes, pero Christine rechazó la oferta y se enfrentaron en los tribunales. Al final, el juez dijo que 63.000 dólares era la cantidad adecuada.

Wasser dice que Kevin ya le pagó a Christine $300k en honorarios legales, y supuestamente también tomó $105k de las cuentas de Kevin para alimentar a su equipo legal.

Y luego esto ... si Christine impugna el acuerdo prenupcial y pierde tendrá que devolver más de un millón de dólares a Kevin y también pagar los honorarios de su abogado.

Estén atentos...

Kevin Costner's Lawyer Christine, Are You Kidding?!?? You Want $885k for Attorney's fees for What???

Published | Updated

Kevin Costner's lawyer is incredulous ... blasting estranged wife Christine Baumgartner for asking a judge to make him pay $885k to argue a single issue in divorce court.

Disso queen Laura Wasser filed her blistering response to Christine's request ... explaining the fees would supposedly be incurred for a mini-trial over one issue in the prenup -- whether her waiver of spousal support is enforceable.

Christine's lawyers say it will take $885k to make their case -- and they want Kevin to foot the bill -- but Wasser fired back that based on hourly rates, Christine's legal team would have to put in 1,106 hours to justify the fee.

Wasser calls Christine's ask "nothing short of outrageous," also noting the judge has already indicated the prenup is enforceable, so the road Christine's going down is a dead end.

Christine has not only lost most of the legal battles in the divorce, she's actually lost more than if she had settled with Kevin. For example, she originally wanted $248k a month in child support, which Kevin rejected and claimed the reasonable amount was $63k. Nevertheless, he offered to pay her $75k a month, but Christine rejected that offer and duked it out in court. In the end, the judge said $63k was the appropriate amount.

Wasser says Kevin's already paid Christine $300k in legal fees, and also allegedly took $105k from Kevin's accounts to feed her legal team.

And there's this ... if Christine challenges the prenup and loses, she'll have to return more than a million bucks Kevin gave her and also pay his lawyer's fees.

Ex reportero de NFL Network Presenta demanda contra la NFL Me echaron por cuestionar a Goodell

Published | Updated

Actualización

1:30 PM PT -- Trotter se refirió a Jerry Jones en su demanda y ahora el propietario de los Cowboys está entregando su versión de los hechos, aludiendo a una conversación que ambos sostuvieron en 2020.

"La representación hecha por Jim Trotter de una conversación que ocurrió hace más de tres años conmigo y con nuestro vicepresidente de personal de jugadores Will McClay simplemente no es exacta", escribió Jones en un comunicado.

1:20 PM PT -- El propietario de los Bills, Terry Pegula, también negó vehementemente las afirmaciones hechas por Trotter en la demanda.

"La declaración que se me atribuye en la demanda del señor Trotter es absolutamente falsa", dijo Pegula en un comunicado. "Me horroriza que alguien me relacione con una acusación de este tipo. El racismo no tiene cabida en nuestra sociedad y personalmente me repugna que mi nombre esté asociado con esta denuncia."

Jim Trotter, un reportero y columnista veterano que trabajó para NFL Network durante cinco años, presentó una demanda contra la NFL, alegando que su contrato no fue renovado después de que presionara a Roger Goodell sobre las prácticas de la liga en lo que se refiere a la contratación de minorías.

"Jim Trotter ... fue despedido de la Liga Nacional de Fútbol porque desafió al comisionado Roger Goodell y a otros sobre el historial de discriminación racial de la NFL y la falta de diversidad", dice la demanda, presentada ante el Tribunal de Distrito de EE.UU. en Nueva York.

En varias ocasiones, Trotter, empleado de NFL Network, propiedad de NFL, interrogó públicamente a Goodell sobre la falta de ejecutivos negros en la liga y en los equipos, incluso durante una entrevista televisada a nivel nacional durante la semana previa al Super Bowl en febrero de 2023.

Aun así, Trotter pensaba que recibiría un nuevo contrato en primavera, cuando expiraba su acuerdo. Sin embargo, este no fue renovado, y a fines de marzo se quedó sin trabajo.

"Muchos medios de comunicación ya han reconocido que la NFL tomó represalias y se vengó del Sr. Trotter por haber denunciado a la NFL por sus prácticas discriminatorias", escribieron los abogados de Trotter, Wigdor LLP.

"El trato dado por la NFL al Sr. Trotter es coherente con un historial documentado de silenciamiento, represalias y rechazo (blackballing) contra los hombres negros que denuncian este tipo de conductas. Este es el modus operandi de la NFL y forma parte del entramado de la liga".

Wigdor es el mismo bufete que representa al ex entrenador de los Dolphins, Brian Flores, en su demanda por discriminación racial.

La demanda también hace referencia a Jerry Jones y a una supuesta conversación que tuvo con Trotter en agosto de 2020, cuando el periodista le preguntó al propietario de los Cowboys (de forma similar a la pregunta que le planteó a Goodell) sobre las prácticas de contratación de la liga cuando se trataba de ejecutivos negros.

"Si los negros se sienten de alguna manera, deberían comprar su propio equipo y contratar a quienes quieran contratar", afirma Trotter que respondió Jones.

Trotter también hace referencia al propietario de los Buffalo Bills, Terry Pegula, de quien afirma que una vez le comentó: "Si a los jugadores negros no les gusta estar aquí, deberían volver a África y ver lo mal que se está".

JT dice que expresó su preocupación por el comentario, pero "no se tomó ninguna medida correctiva".

Según la demanda de Trotter, en la NFL solo hay ocho directores generales y tres entrenadores jefe negros.

Además de la demanda de 53 páginas, Trotter, que ahora trabaja para The Athletic, también publicó un comunicado en el que explicaba con más detalle sus motivos para presentar la demanda.

"La NFL ha afirmado que quiere rendir cuentas en materia de diversidad, equidad e inclusión. Yo intenté hacerlo y me costó el puesto. Presento esta demanda porque no puedo quejarme de las cosas que están mal si no estoy dispuesto a luchar por lo que está bien", escribió JT en redes sociales.

"Espero que esta demanda conduzca a un cambio real en toda la liga y en las redacciones. Es sobre las espaldas de una población de jugadores mayoritariamente negros que los propietarios han ganado miles de millones y esos jugadores merecen tener a alguien que comparta sus experiencias culturales y vitales en la mesa cuando se toman decisiones sobre cómo se les cubre."

Ex-NFL Network Reporter Files Lawsuit Against NFL I Was Canned For Questioning Goodell

Published | Updated
UPDATE

1:30 PM PT -- Trotter referenced Jerry Jones in his lawsuit and now the Cowboys owner is responding, providing his version of a conversation the men had in 2020.

UPDATE

"Diversity and inclusion are extremely important to me personally and to the NFL. the representation made by Jim Trotter of a conversation that occurred over three years ago with myself and our VP of Player Personnel Will McClay is simply not accurate," Jones wrote in a statement.

UPDATE

1:20 PM PT -- Bills owner Terry Pegula also vehemently denied claims made by Trotter in the lawsuit.

UPDATE

"The statement attributed to me in Mr. Trotter's complaint is absolutely false," Pegula said in a statement. "I am horrified that anyone would connect me to an allegation of this kind. Racism has no place in our society and I am personally disgusted that my name is associated with this complaint."

"The statement attributed to me in Mr. Trotter's complaint is absolutely false," Pegula said Tuesday in a statement. "I am horrified that anyone would connect me to an allegation of this kind. Racism has no place in our society and I am personally disgusted that my name is associated with this complaint."

Jim Trotter, a longtime reporter and columnist who worked for NFL Network for 5 years, is suing the NFL ... claiming his contract wasn't renewed after he pressed Roger Goodell on the league's hiring practices when it comes to minorities.

"Jim Trotter ... was let go by the National Football League because he challenged Commissioner Roger Goodell and others regarding the NFL's record of race discrimination and lack of diversity," the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in New York, reads.

On several occasions, Trotter, an employee of the NFL-owned NFL Network, publicly grilled Goodell on the lack of Black execs within the league and teams, including during a nationally televised interview during the week leading up to the Super Bowl in February 2023.

Still, Trotter says all indications were he'd receive a new contract in the spring, as his deal was expiring ... however, in late March, his deal was not renewed, and he was out of a job.

"It has already been acknowledged by many in the media that the NFL retaliated against and took vengeance on Mr. Trotter for him having taken the NFL to task on its discriminatory practices," Trotter's attorneys from Wigdor LLP wrote.

"The NFL’s treatment of Mr. Trotter is consistent with a documented history of silencing, retaliating against and 'blackballing' Black men who speak out about such conduct. This is the NFL’s modus operandi and part of the fabric of the league."

Wigdor is the same firm that is representing former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores in his racial discrimination suit.

The lawsuit also references Jerry Jones ... and an alleged conversation he had with Trotter in August 2020, when the reporter asked the Cowboys owner (similar to the question he posed Goodell) about the league's hiring practices when it came to Black executives.

“If Blacks feel some kind of way, they should buy their own team and hire who they want to hire,” Trotter claims Jones responded.

Trotter also references Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula ... whom he claims once remarked ... “If the Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is.”

JT says he raised concerns about the comment, but "no remedial action was taken."

FYI, per Trotter's suit, the NFL only has 8 Black General Managers and 3 Black head coaches.

In addition to the 53-page lawsuit, Trotter, who now works for The Athletic, also released a statement further explaining his reasons for filing the lawsuit.

"The NFL has claimed it wants to be held accountable regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. I tried to do so, and it cost me my job. I'm filing this lawsuit because I can't complain about things that are wrong if I'm unwilling to fight for what is right," JT wrote on social media.

"I hope this lawsuit leads to real change across the league and in the newsroom. It is on the backs of a majority black player population that owners have made billions and those players deserve to have someone who shares their cultural and life experiences at the table when decisions are being made about how they are being covered."

Candidata a Cámara de Virginia Posteaba videos porno por $$$

Published | Updated

Una mujer que se postula para un codiciado escaño en la Cámara de Virginia tiene un trabajito extra, pues ha publicado sabrosos videos online con la ayuda de su marido.

Susana Gibson, de 40 años, es una demócrata que se postula para representar el Distrito 57 en Richmond. Había publicado varios videos en una plataforma llamada Chaturbate, que alberga a usuarios que están listos para masturbarse mientras chatean con otros en línea.

Según WaPo y NYP, Gibson fue muy activa en Chaturbate el año pasado, con al menos una docena de transmisiones en vivo. La mayoría de ellas habían sido archivadas y la mostraban a ella y su cónyuge realizando actos sexuales, mientras estaban en cámara.

A lo largo de las retransmisiones, Gibson pedía constantemente a los espectadores que siguieran donando a su cuenta mediante fichas digitales, que ella podía canjear.

Al parecer, era muy popular antes de septiembre de 2022. Desde entonces, su actividad en Chaturbate parece haber desaparecido, con casi 6.000 seguidores. Cabe señalar que algunos de estos videos parecen haber sido archivados después de que declarara oficialmente su candidatura el año pasado.

Por supuesto, este descubrimiento está causando un gran revuelo, especialmente entre sus rivales republicanos. En respuesta, Gibson ha calificado la aparición de su material como una invasión ilegal de su privacidad.

Ella dice: "Esto no me intimidará ni me silenciará. Mis adversarios políticos y sus aliados republicanos han demostrado que están dispuestos a cometer un delito sexual para atacarme a mí y a mi familia porque no hay línea que no cruzarían para silenciar a las mujeres cuando hablan".

Su abogado también dice que esto parece violar las leyes estatales sobre porno vengativo (revenge porn).

Virginia House of Delegates Candidate in the Running Posted Porn Videos for $$$

Published | Updated

A woman running for a coveted Virginia House seat has a side gig for $$$ -- she had posted spicy clips online ... with the help of her hubby.

40-year-old Susanna Gibson -- a Democrat running to represent District 57 in Richmond -- had posted several vids on a platform called Chaturbate ... which hosts users who are down to masturbate while chatting with others online.

According to WaPo and NYP, Gibson was quite active on Chaturbate last year ... with at least a dozen live streams -- most of which had been archived and viewed by the outlets -- featuring her and her spouse performing sex acts on each other while on camera.

Throughout the streams, Gibson is reported to have consistently asked folks who were watching to keep on donating to her account via digital tokens -- which she could cash in.

Apparently, she was pretty popular on there before September 2022 -- when her Chaturbate activity seems to have gone dark -- with nearly 6,000 followers. Worth noting, some of these videos appear to have been archived after she officially declared her candidacy last year.

Of course, this discovery is causing an uproar -- especially among her Republican rivals. In response, Gibson has called this surfacing of her material an illegal invasion of her privacy.

She says, "It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me. My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up."

Her attorney also says this appears to be in violation of state revenge porn laws.

'Love & Hip Hop' Star Erica Mena Apologizes for Monkey Comment ... I Wasn't Being Racist!!!

Published | Updated

Erica Mena says she's sorry for calling her reality show costar a monkey -- but she insists there was no racism behind the insult.

The ex-'Love & Hip Hop' star -- who was booted from the show for hurling the word -- tells TMZ ... "I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness. My choice of words was wrong, and I take full responsibility for what I said."

She adds, "I am committed to listening to the voices of those affected and will work toward making amends. As a woman of color and the mother of two black children, I want to make it clear that my use of that word was not in any way racially driven."

Erica ends with this ... "That said, I do understand the gravity of what I said and want to use my platform to promote inclusivity and equality."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Worth noting, Erica identifies as an Afro-Latina -- with Dominican and Puerto Rican roots.

You'll recall ... Erica was cut loose from 'L&HH: Atlanta' after MTV aired the controversial episode in question -- in which EM and Spice got into a heated argument, which erupted into a fight ... and where Erica invoked the term "monkey" while she was lashing out.

That ugly moment came on the heels of yet another ... an Atlanta-area arrest that saw Erica get booked on a number of charges, including allegedly attacking a police officer.

Now that Erica's apologized, do you think she should be allowed back on 'L&HH'? Sound off by answering the question in our game below.

MSU's Mel Tucker Harassment Allegations 'Completely False'

Published

Suspended Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker is breaking his silence amid an investigation into sexual harassment claims made by rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy ... calling her complaint an attempt to "revive her career."

Tracy is accusing Tucker of making unwanted sexual comments and masturbating during an April 2022 phone call ... months after the two developed a personal friendship.

Tracy has since filed a Title IX complaint with the university ... detailing how the call resulted in her re-visiting her previous trauma.

Tucker was suspended without pay after the allegations went public ... and now, he's going scorched earth on Tracy and the investigation.

"Brenda Tracy's allegations of harassment are completely false," Tucker said in a lengthy statement. "The proceedings initiated by Ms. Tracy are devoid of any semblance of fairness for any matter of this importance, and the University's 'hearing' scheduled for October 5-6 is so flawed that there is no other opportunity for the truth to come out. That is why I share some truth with you now."

Tucker admits he developed an "intimate, adult relationship" with Tracy following her first visit to MSU in the summer of 2021 ... adding they would have late-night phone calls numerous times and disclose private information about each other, but noting she would initiate many of those conversations.

The coach -- who signed a huge, 10-year, $95 million deal in 2021 -- acknowledges the April 2022 call happened ... but said it was a "mutual, private event between two adults living at opposite ends of the country," and claims Tracy initiated the adult convo by making comments about what she would look like without clothes on.

Tucker claims Tracy welcomed their developed relationship ... requesting and accepting personal gifts, payments and donations to her non-profit. He also said Tracy went on to maintain communication with him, wishing him a happy Father's Day two months later.

Tucker also refutes Tracy's claim he canceled her scheduled appearance at the school following the phone call ... saying he was simply postponing it due to conflicts.

The most eye-opening part of Tucker's response, though, is when the coach suggests his potential firing could be used to make up for the school's mishandling of the Larry Nassar scandal.

"The investigation has not been fair or unbiased," Tucker continued. "I can only conclude that there is an ulterior motive designed to terminate my contract based on some other factor such as a desire to avoid any Nasser taint, or my race or gender."

He added ... "Ms. Tracy's attorney told us from the very beginning that I should not lose my job over her allegations, but that it would take a lot of money to make it go away. Her twisting of our personal relationship months after it concluded is designed to revive her career and destroy my life, precipitated by her greed."

Tucker concluded by saying he misses being with the team ... and he hopes people reserve judgment until all the facts come to light.

Alabama Vs. Texas Fan Hurls Homophobic Slurs At Longhorns ... UA Slams 'Vile' Behavior

Published | Updated

The University of Alabama says it's outraged after a fan was heard yelling racist remarks and homophobic slurs at Texas players during their game on Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports it's flat-out "disgusted" by the behavior.

The disturbing shouts were captured on video at some point during the Longhorns' 34-24 victory over the Crimson Tide on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

In the footage, you can hear one man behind the UT bench shouting the anti-gay f-word repeatedly at a trio of Longhorns who were dancing on their sideline during the win.

The man also can be heard in the clip screaming for the players, who are Black, to "go back to the projects."

The three Longhorns players -- defensive backs X'Avion Brice and Jelani McDonald, and running back Quintrevion Wisner -- have yet to comment publicly on the footage ... though Wisner's mother said in a statement on X that she was heartbroken over the situation.

"The fact my son down there and they saying go back to the projects really just saddens my heart that as his mother no matter how old he had to listen to that!" Angie Wisner said.

"Love you Son!  But, the parents went through this all night! Beer cans thrown at us, water bottles, spit! Disgrace."

As for Alabama, the university slammed the fan's actions in a scathing statement on Monday afternoon.

"We are disgusted by reports of vile language and inappropriate behavior Saturday night," the statement read. "To be clear, we condemn this behavior, and it will not be tolerated in our venues. It is not representative of UA or our values."

"We expect all attendees to act with class and respect toward others. Fans are strongly encouraged to report issues to our security resources on-site."

"Gameday and delayed reports are appropriately addressed, and anyone found to be in violation of our rules and expectations is promptly removed and may be banned from future events."

It's unclear if police are investigating the incident for any potential criminal charges ... we've reached out to UAPD for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

Abby Lee Miller Clarifies High School Crush Comment

Published | Updated
UPDATE

3:49 PM PT -- Abby Lee Miller just took to Instagram in an attempt to clear the air on her comments ... saying she likes jocks, always has and always will. She also says her kinda guy must be able to go out to clubs, party in Vegas, rent ADA-accessible vans and have a bank and business of their own.

UPDATE

CLEARIN' THE AIR
UPDATE

Obviously, she doesn't flat-out say it, but those are all qualities high schoolers just can't possess. Abby again highlights "All the Right Moves" where Tom Cruise plays a high school student, and mentions her own high school reunion is coming up soon.

UPDATE

Abby says she hopes the high school hunk from her days will attend the reunion, but if not ... she'll settle for Tom Brady.

Abby Lee Miller went on a bizarre tangent, claiming she's got a thing for high school football players in an interview that's raising plenty of eyebrows online.

57-year-old Abby took the odd stance on a recent episode of Sofia Franklyn's "Sofia with an F" podcast. At the very end of the show, the 2 started talking about Tom Cruise, causing Abby to bring up his 1983 flick, "All the Right Moves" about a HS football star.

Abby says those guys are her "downfall," claiming she's still into high school dudes today. Already a little odd, but Sofia notes that she's more into the coaches. Would be a great place to drop the conversation, right?

Well, Abby doubles down -- saying she isn't talkin' about guys that used to be in high school ... she means ones that are currently still in school.

It's a pretty wild thing to say, especially considering her former reality series, "Dance Moms," was all about running a studio full of kids ... and as you can imagine, she's been getting burnt online.

Many have been pointing out the obviously disgusting implications of her comment ... one person even pointed out, "The fact that she went back and clarified is crazy."

BTW, Abby's new show, "Mad House," begins airing at the end of September -- a series that takes young adult dancers and pins them against each other in the hopes of making it onto her team.

Abby Lee Miller es criticada tras dichos Hacia los futbolistas universitarios

Published | Updated

Abby Lee Miller se fue por la tangente afirmando que se siente atraída hacia los jugadores de fútbol de la escuela secundaria en una entrevista que está levantando muchas cejas en línea.

Abby, de 57 años, adoptó esta extraña postura en un reciente episodio del podcast de Sofia Franklyn "Sofia with an F". Al final del programa, ambas empezaron a hablar de Tom Cruise, lo que provocó que Abby mencionara su película de 1983 "All the Right Moves", sobre una estrella de fútbol americano.

Abby dice que esos muchachos son su "perdición", afirmando que todavía le gustan los chicos de instituto. Todo es un poco raro, pero Sofía dice que le gustan más los entrenadores. Este era el mejor momento para finalizar la conversación ¿verdad?

Bueno, Abby redobla la apuesta y dice que no está hablando de los chicos que solían estar en el instituto, más bien se refiere a los que todavía están en la escuela.

Es una cosa bastante inadecuada para decir, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta su antigua serie de realidad, "Dance Moms", que era acerca de la gestión de un estudio lleno de niños... como pueden imaginar, las criticas en redes sociales no se han hecho esperar.

Muchos han señalado las implicaciones obviamente repugnantes de su comentario, una persona incluso señaló: "El hecho de que ella volviera atrás y remarcara su postura es una locura."

Por cierto, el nuevo programa de Abby, "Mad House", comenzará a emitirse a finales de septiembre. Será una serie que tomará a bailarines de mediana edad y los enfrentará entre sí con la esperanza de entrar a un equipo.

DraftKings Apologizes For 9/11-Themed Parlay

Published

DraftKings issued a mea culpa on Monday morning ... after the gambling site posted a 9/11-themed parlay that many viewed as insensitive.

The bet that fans could place money on was called "Never Forget" ... and it allowed people to wager on if the New York Mets, New York Yankees and New York Jets would all win on Monday -- the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in NY.

Immediately after it was posted, though, it was ripped by social media users ... who called it tone-deaf and crass.

In wake of the backlash hours later, DraftKings pulled it from its site ... and issued an apology.

"We sincerely apologize for the featured parlay that was shared briefly in commemoration of 9/11," a DK spokesperson said in a statement to the Boston Globe. We respect the significance of this day for our country and especially for the familys of those who were directly affected.”

The Jets are slated to play the Bills at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on "Monday Night Football." Meanwhile, the Mets will take on the Diamondbacks at Citi Field in New York -- while the Yankees will face the Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston.

Draftkings Se disculpa por la apuesta temática del 11/9

Published

DraftKings emitió un mea culpa el lunes por la mañana, después de que el sitio de apuestas publicara una apuesta temática del 11-S que muchos consideraron insensible.

La apuesta se llamaba "Nunca Olvides" y permitía a los aficionados apostar a si los Met, los Yankees o los Jets de Nueva York, ganarían el lunes, cuando se conmemora el 22 aniversario de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York.

Inmediatamente después de su publicación, los usuarios de las redes sociales empezaron a tacharla de insensible y grosera.

A raíz de esta reacción DraftKings lo retiró de su sitio horas más tarde y emitió una disculpa.

"Nos disculpamos sinceramente por el parlay (apuesta) destacado que se compartió brevemente en conmemoración del 11-S", dijo un portavoz del sitio en un comunicado al Boston Globe. Respetamos el significado de este día para nuestro país y especialmente para las familias de aquellos que fueron directamente afectados."

Los Jets jugarán contra los Bills en el MetLife Stadium de Nueva Jersey el "Monday Night Football". Por su parte, los Mets se enfrentarán a los Diamondbacks en el Citi Field de Nueva York, y los Yankees a los Red Sox en el Fenway Park de Boston.
