Spurs’ shooting guard Lonnie Walker IV surprised fans Thursday by sharing in an emotional Instagram post that he’d been sexually abused as a child.
The revelation accompanied a video explanation of the Spur’s journey with his distinctive towering hairstyle. It also included video of his encounter with clippers, documenting the complete removal of his signature locks.
“The real truth as to why I started doing this in early 5th grade, it was a cloaking device for me,” Walker wrote.
“During the summer of my 5th grade year I was around more family… I was sexually harassed, raped, abused, I even got accustomed to it because being at that age you don’t know what is what,” Walker wrote.
In the post, Walker explained that the had lived in a mindset where his hair was something he could control, and it gave him confidence.
“Me cutting my hair was more than a cut,” he wrote. “My hair was a mask of me hiding the insecurity’s that I felt the world wasn’t ready for. But now [is] better than ever. Out with old. In with the new.”
Walker also made headlines earlier this month when he joined San Antonians in cleaning up vandalized businesses downtown following unrest that played out after a peaceful protest decrying the killing of George Floyd.
“During this protest everyone isn’t seeing eye level, but we have to understand we can only control what we can control,” Walker said in a statement posted to Twitter, accompanied by photos of the cleanup efforts.
At the end of Selling Sunset’s latest season, we got a preview for its upcoming season. A lot of dramatic, exciting, and sexy things are going to unfold along with the sad high profile divorce of reality star Chrishell Stause with her husband cum actor Justin Hartley. A few days back, she spoke about how difficult and emotionally draining it was to film her life during those hard times. But, it seems like the 38-year-old feeling much better as recently posted a hilarious meme of her on her IG.
Many viewers were shocked to see Justin and Chrishell splitting just after two years of marriage. Some speculated that the real estate agent wanted to start a family, while her husband wanted to savor his newfound success with the hit show “This Is Us.” The actor was not ready to take the next step as he already has his hands full with a 15-year-old daughter, Isabella Hartley, from his first wife. So, he filed for divorce in November last year, and apparently in February this year, both got divorced. While signing for the reality show, the Selling Sunset star never knew how hard it would get to film in the future.
While promoting her reality TV series, Selling Sunset, the actress turned realtor created a meme of her, and posted it on her IG profile. She takes the wildly popular meme format “My plans vs. 2020” that is currently trending on Twitter. Chrishell turns the template into her own comical version – on one side, she puts a picture that indicates how the year was supposed to go, and on the other hand, another image portrays how it’s actually going. She gets super creative and takes the snapshot of her crying because of the divorce announcement and combines it with a happy picture of her holding the house keys. She captions the post as “If you can’t laugh at yourself, many people will do it for you!” Check out the meme below:
Honestly, we didn’t know she was so hilarious in real life. But, now we’re in love with her sense of humor. We can’t wait to see season 3 and fall in love with her genuine and most relatable personality all over again. The followers love this particular post, and her boss and co-star, Jason, also left a comment that said, “Don’t sleep on 2020, tho (though), the second half still to come!” Very inspiring, Jason!
As promised, the next season is going to be extra-dramatic and entertaining because now the cast is more habitual to cameras and they show off their real personalities without any hesitation. Apart from Chrishell’s divorce, the season will also deal with some significant discussions about someone resigning from The Oppenheim Group. Who could that be? Well, for that, viewers have to wait till August 7th – that’s not so far.
After almost a year and a half of waiting, viewers finally get a second date with the breezy and bingeable Netflix series Dating Around. Season 2 of the romantic reality show is now available to stream, and it really couldn’t have come at a better time. If you’ve been holed up in your home for months and desperately miss going on dates, eating at restaurants, or even just sitting across a table from another human being that’s not in your immediate family, then you’re gonna get into Dating Around Season 2.
But unlike other reality shows on Netflix that feature heightened situations like extreme bake-offs or highly-trained professionals like the Fab Five, Dating Around stars people like you and me—people of all ages, ethnicities, and orientations just out there in the world (in this case, New Orleans) looking for love. And since Dating Around is more of an anthology show, you might want to see more of a particular dater than their one episode allows. That’s where Instagram comes in!
Below you will find info on how to follow the six subjects of Season 2 on Instagram, as well as links to the six people they pick for their second date. There’s also a spoiler warning ahead of that info, just in case you aren’t ready to find out who they chose to see again!
Justin
Born and raised in New Orleans, Justin works in finance and tends to go for party girls. Now he’s on Dating Around to find a real connection. You can follow Justin on Instagram at @justinbigting.
SPOILER: Justin asks Ann out on a second date, even though their first date ended way earlier than the others. Ann loves dancing, and hates coming up with pick-up lines on dating apps. You can follow Ann on Instagram at @badnbowieee.
Are Justin and Ann still together? This info is hard to track down until one of them makes an official statement, but they’re at least friendly enough to follow each other on Instagram.2
Ben
Ben is definitely the nice guy of his friend group, and he’s coming out of a very long-term relationship. Can this college professor find love? More importantly, can he get used to dating? You can follow his journey on Instagram at @progresspian.
SPOILER: After some false starts, Ben gets a second date with Alex, a jazz musician who hosts a radio show. Are Ben and Alex still together? It’s hard to tell since Alex doesn’t appear to have an Instagram presence. Maybe Ben will spill the tea on his newly-active Insta?3
Deva
Deva moved to New Orleans from New York City to pursue her career as a musician—and she’s got a lot to live up to, because her father is blues musician Taj Mahal. You can follow Deva on Instagram at @devamahal.
SPOILER: In the end, Deva chose to go on a second date with New Orleans artist Maria. Definitely not a surprise, because these two really hit it off—Deva even knew about her art before their date! You can follow Maria on Instagram at @maria_sandhammer.
Are Deva and Maria still together? No word just yet, but they do follow each other on Instagram—and they like each other’s posts.4
Heather
Heather has a lot going on: she’s a tomboy, a professional makeup artist, pescatarian, and a big Peaky Blinders fan. You can follow her and see her makeup looks on Instagram at @hsalvaggio.
SPOILER: She ends up with the dapper Ernesto, who—like Heather—lives with his parents and also loves to travel. You can follow Ernesto on Instagram at @ernestoarmand0.
Are Heather and Ernesto still together? We don’t know for sure yet. They do follow each other on Instagram and they also comment on posts. Dating Around at least launched an enduring friendship—and maybe more?5
Brandon
Brandon’s struggled to find the right guy, but he finds a few that come close in this episode. This kindergarten teacher is quick with a quip and is not a fan of cigarettes. You can follow Brandon on Instagram at @bbofnola.
SPOILER: After hitting it off with a few guys, he goes for creative director and plant dad Justin. You can follow Justin on Instagram at @justinmadethat—and see his new life in Austin, Texas.
Are Brandon and Justin still together? Did they continue dating after Justin moved to Austin? It doesn’t seem so, as Justin follows Brandon on Instagram—but Brandon doesn’t follow Justin. Justin also doesn’t seem to like Brandon’s photos on Insta, so it looks like things didn’t get too serious between the two.6
Demi
Originally from Manhattan, Demi is a Latina who loves board games and works in digital marketing. You can follow Demi on Instagram at @demdiaz.
SPOILER: For her second date, Demi chose Zach–you remember, the guy that gave her a fairly romantic salsa dancing lesson on the street. You can follow Zach on Instagram at @rockstarzach.
Are Demi and Zach still together? They do follow each other on Instagram, so that’s a good sign. But, and this is maybe more telling, they aren’t active on each other’s pages.
Kelly Clarkson and her husband Brandon Blackstock call it quits

Kelly Clarkson and her husband Brandon Blackstock are divorcing after nearly seven years of marriage.

Another Hollywood couple has gone their separate ways.
According to E! News, Kelly Clarkson filed for divorce from her husband, Brandon Blackstock, last week.
The 38-year-old reportedly cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
Kelly and Brandon started dating in 2012 and became engaged shortly after.
The couple tied the knot in October 2013 and have two children together – River Rose and Remington Alexander.
“It came out of nowhere. It’s all so sad for the kids. They were always such a loving family. It never seemed like they had any issues,” a source told E!.
Kelly and her husband were quarantining together before their split.
She spoke fondly of her husband during a 2017 interview with Redbook.
“When I met Brandon, I wasn’t looking for a friend. I have a lot of great friends! I was looking for a lover. I had never found someone I was truly passionate about, who I wanted to stay in bed with all day. The fact that I did, well…I was going to latch on and take advantage of that,” ‘The Voice’ coach said.
Kelly’s friends and family are said to be shocked by the couple’s split.
The talk show host hasn’t shown any signs of her troubles at home. She recently celebrated the launch of her new clothing line.
“I am SO excited about my collection with Wayfair. Like shoes off, jump-on-the-couch excited. I’ve handpicked every piece, and I think you’ll love the style — French-country with a modern twist – just as much as I do!” she wrote on Instagram a few weeks ago
She last shared a picture of her husband in March. Brandon had been spending his time during quarantine giving his daughter horse riding lessons at their Montana ranch.
“Quarantine hair don’t care. Daddy’s giving River riding lessons and she loved it,” she wrote on Instagram.
A clip shared on her talk show’s YouTube page in March gave Kelly’s fans a peek inside her life at the ranch.
“Brandon and I love wide-open spaces and coming to the ranch because both of us grew up in the countryside and… we literally work almost seven days a week – if not seven days a week. So, um, when we have time off we really like to check out,” she said.
Cookbook author Chrissy Teigen took to her social media and revealed that she underwent a surgery. She had previously revealed that she was slated to undergo breast implants removal surgery. Chrissy Teigen updated her fans saying that she was feeling sore after the surgery but her daughter Luna’s note was a temporary distraction from her pain.
Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram
Chrissy Teigen gave her fans an update on her surgery saying that it went perfectly. She also mentioned that she is very sore from the medical procedure. She then shared a small note written to her by her daughter Luna. In the note, Chrissy Teigen’s four-year-old daughter is seen wishing her mother luck before the surgery.
In the post that was shared on Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram read, “Surgery went perfectly! So so so so so sore but waking up to this made it go away for half a minute at least.” [sic] She also shared a picture of Luna’s note which stated ‘have fun pulling your breast implants’. She adorably signed the note with a “Love Luna” written at the end of the note. She also posted another picture where Luna said goodbye to her mother’s breast implants. Luna even added a mermaid sticker at the end of the note.
Chrissy Teigen had mentioned on her Instagram that she was undergoing surgery. A video of her getting the COVID-19 test had gone viral. While many started making speculations, Teigen thought it was best to put the rumours to rest. She took to her social media and revealed that getting tested for COVID-19 was just a procedure that she had to follow before getting surgery.
Chrissy Teigen took to her Instagram and mentioned, “Hi hi! So I posted myself getting a covid test on the twitter, as I’m getting surgery soon. A lot of people are understandably curious (and nosey!)” She further mentioned that she is getting her breast implants removed and hence she had to get the test done. Chrissy Teigen also revealed the reason behind getting her implants removed. She wrote, “I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort! No biggie! So don’t worry about me!” [sic]
You might not have heard of but her Instagram account has earned her a prestigious title.
Data analysed by Future Fit has named the Venezuelan woman the most powerful fitness influencer in the world, and with a combined 14 million followers across Instagram and YouTube it’s not hard to see why.
The 34-year-old is estimated to earn a staggering $66,000 per Instagram post — not a bad pay packet for someone who describes herself as being a “girl-next-door” who got her start “working in a local clinic in Venezuela”.

Lewin emigrated to the United States in 2012 where she found success as a bodybuilder and fitness model, going on to appear on more than 30 magazine covers.
She now lives in Florida where she runs her fitness empire which includes exercise programs, meal plans and activewear.
The 34-year-old also shares her fitness secrets in her 2018 book, The Hot Body Diet.

Ranked second on Future Fit’s list is Jen Selter, who has a combined 12.8 million followers on social media and is estimated to make around $61,000 per Instagram post.
She started her fitness journey as a teenager working at the reception of a gym before turning to social media.
The 26-year-old rose to fame for popularising the butt selfie — or “belfie” — on Instagram and is pretty much the Kim Kardashian of the fitness world.
The US fitness star is famous for her butt workouts and has her own line of portable blenders that help her rake in the cash.
In a 2019 interview with Seventeen magazine, Selter credited her success with staying true to herself and posting content every day.

“You are only going to create a community of followers if you are posting about things you truly love and remain genuine,” she said.
An Aussie also made Future Fit’s list, with Kayla Itsines named the world’s fourth most powerful fitness influencer.
The 29-year-old Adelaide-born personal trainer has a combined YouTube and Instagram following of 12.7 million, and is estimated to earn around $60,000 per sponsored Instagram post.

Itsines became a personal trainer in her teens and went on to develop her famous workout program, the Bikini Body Guide (BBG).
The mum-of-one now owns the hugely-popular app SWEAT, telling Vogue Australia in 2017, she’s passionate about helping women.
“I am part of a group of women that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. I am part of a community where women support other women,” Itsines said.
Rebel Wilson has shown off the results of her major fitness overhaul after vowing to make 2020 her “Year of Health”.
The Australian actress posed in grey activewear and a large straw hat as she enjoyed the sunshine on Sydney Harbour in the new pictures shared on Instagram.
“Australia you cheeky possum!” Wilson, 40, captioned the album.
It comes after the Pitch Perfect star publicly made a New Year’s resolution at the start of the year to ditch her unhealthy eating habits and kickstart a new fitness journey.
She wrote on Instagram: “Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called ‘The Year of Health’.
“So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it! Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?”
In an interview with E! earlier this year, her trainer Jono Castano explained he had created a specific program for Wilson covering six days.
He said he encourages his clients to workout daily for 45-minute sessions, noting “results come through consistency”.
His personalised program for the star included high-intensity interval training, mobility, weights, resistance, technique and tempo. Wilson has one day off a week to rest her body.
That VJ and Bigg Boss 11 beauty Benfasha Soonawalla has an envious body is a known fact. The actress’ wardrobe mainly consists of all sorts of attire which she rocks, thanks to her killer bod. Benafsha recently made it to the news when boyfriend Priyank Sharma made their relationship of two years official. While Priyank said all that he had to in an Instagram live with an entertainment portal, Benafsha also put out her side of the story in a lengthy Instagram post. And ever since, both she and Priyank have been painting the town red with their super cute IG posts. Kiss of Love! Priyank Sharma and Benafsha Soonawalla Make Their Relationship Insta Official (View Pic).
However, Benafsha recently decided to spice things up when she posted two sultry and sexy nude pictures. She obviously covered her lady parts and the pictures with the smokey effect were sensuous. This Old Video of Bigg Boss 11 Contestant Benafsha Soonawalla Kissing a Girl is Going Viral.
However, looks like with too many users reporting the image, Instagram took down the pictures. To this, Benafsha soon posted another image, this time with BF Priyank kissing her on her cheek and penned a message for all her lovers and haters.

In her post, she wrote, “I’m sure it got reported by some of you, but it’s okay, I’ll wait for a world where no one will judge you by the color of your skin, by how much skin you show, or by any other made up “idealistic” rules by none other than a few people that are so angry with their own lives. A world where a body is not looked upon as a sexual object, but just, simply, a beautiful body.” Kudos to Benafsha and her positive attitude.
