Bray Wyatt was nearing WWE return after life-threatening illness

Bray Wyatt’s cause of death was a heart attack
Ross further stated that while Bray was showing signs of progress, he suffered an unfortunate heart attack on August 24 and passed away.
Before the 36-year-old wrestler was forced to take time away from WWE due to his illness, his character ‘The Fiend’ was the newest integration in a storyline that included ‘Uncle Howdy.’

A video of a flying saucer with the human letters TRUFF written on it has piqued people’s interest as they try to find out if it’s real.
Unproven reports about unusual sightings are on the rise, so it’s hard to tell real and make-believe visuals apart. The age-old debate over the possible existence of extraterrestrial lives, known as aliens, continues to divide UFO enthusiasts and critics, while commoners have taken it upon themselves to unravel the mystery surrounding the claims on social media. At the moment, the alleged UFO with TRUFF text is the one to raise eyebrows.

Flying saucer with TRUFF text zooms past a plane
It’s hard to determine whether the video in question is real footage as the source of its origin is unidentified. But, the idea of an alleged UFO with real alphabets has caught a lot of attention nonetheless.
The footage posted across Twitter and TikTok depicts a flying saucer, also known as a UFO, zooming past a plane at a high speed. It has the word TRUFF written on its circumference.
The unidentified object fits the mainstream description of a spacecraft, which is always assumed to be controlled by non-human beings.
But, you cannot see what’s inside the flying vehicle as it appears to have been captured on camera from far away. The camera zooms in briefly to focus on the word TRUFF as the supposed UFO in motion twirls in the sky.
Social media users think fake UFO is from a commercial
Social media users have established that the UFO in the viral video can’t be real for more than one reason.
Some have refuted the claims due to the lack of evidence to back them up. Blind beliefs have taken a side seat with people demanding legitimate explanations to justify the aerial phenomena, which defies logic otherwise.
And, a few others are under the impression that the graphic video was specially made by the sauce brand TRUFF to market its product.
The company hasn’t commented on having anything to do with the flying saucer. But, they are known for some of the most unique commercials, including the one that shows a giant hot sauce bottle emerging from the sphere in Las Vegas when an airplane flies over it.
We can’t confirm if the video is part of an advertisement or not, but it sure has prompted people to search for answers – regarding the letters seen on it and the UFO itself.
Experts claim ‘aliens’ will invade Earth
Some wild claims put forth by UFO enthusiasts, investigators, and ufologists are so convincing that people have come to believe “aliens” are coming to get us.
Weeks after Dr.Steven Greer claimed a massive ‘UFO’ is kept hidden in the Seoul region of South Korea, Former CIA officer John Ramirez warned us of an impending event awaiting mankind in 2027, which led people to presume aliens are invading Earth.
If these baseless claims about extraterrestrials born out of unproven theories have left you itching for explanations, there are plenty of stories by HITC to widen your knowledge about UFOs.
Flight attendant Kristina Raspopova who is among the ten people reported dead in the plane crash that apparently killed Yevgeny Prigozhin revealed some surprising details to her family about her last flight.
Russia’s private military company Wagner Group’s head Yevgeny Prigozhin is reported dead along with ten others in a private plane crash. Among those on board was Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin and the jet’s only flight attendant Kristina Raspopova. Hours before boarding her last doomed flight, the air hostess shared “unexpected repairs” regarding the plane with her family.
Kristina Raspopova’s last photo before boarding doomed plane
The Daily Star reports that Kristina posted a photo from the airport before boarding the plane. She also posted another photo showing the inside of Yevgeny Prighozin’s jet. The pictures showed two glasses of drinks placed ahead of a bouquet of fresh flowers.
While many are searching for Kristina Raspopova’s Instagram now, her account seems to have been deleted from the platform.
She reportedly also contacted her family when there was a delay in the flight’s take off. She reportedly told them the plane was undergoing “unexpected repairs.”
⚡️Relatives of #Prigozhin‘s flight attendant Kristina Raspopova, with reference to her words, said about strange manipulations with the plane before the last flight. It was taken away for some short-term and incomprehensible repairs. pic.twitter.com/2RTaL0dIn8
Flight attendant told family of unexplained repairs that caused a delay
The 39-year-old flight attendant’s family opened up about their last conversation with her before she boarded the doomed plane that took her life.
As per Daily Star, a relative of Kristina told VChK-OGPU Telegram channel that she had contacted her family about an “unexplained hold up” to the flight before take off.
She told her relative that the plane was being “repaired” last minute before the takeoff. The relative further told the channel “She said that she was in Moscow, she was going to fly out, today or tomorrow.”
The relative further stated that Kristina said that the flight was “under maintenance” and getting “urgent repairs.”
“The aircraft was under maintenance or some urgent repairs. They were waiting for the flight. Some kind of maintenance, well nothing special,” they reportedly said.
Other victims of plane crash
Among the ten people onboard seven were passengers and three crew members. The passengers included Prighozin, Sergey Propustin, Dmitry Utkin, Valeriy Chekalov, Nikolay Matuseev, Evgeniy Makaryan, and Aleksandr Totmin. The three crew members were Commander Aleksei Levshin, co-pilot Rustam Karimov, and Kristina.
The ten people’s charred human remains were derived away from the crash site in the Russian GAZelle at 4:30 a.m. and taken away for examination to a morgue in Tver.
The Wednesday, August 23 crash took place in the Tver region located to the northwest of Moscow.
A Saudi Arabian side are reportedly ready to make an offer for Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe this summer if the winger is allowed to leave this summer.
According to a report from RMC Sport, the unnamed Saudi side are ready to offer cash for the Ivorian winger but how much cash hasn’t been decided yet.
The 28-year-old Ivory Coast international is expected to leave the Gunners. Pépé, who earns £140,000 a week according to Sportrac, joined North London from Lille four years ago in a then club-record £72 million purchase, has failed to live up to expectations at the Emirates Stadium.
Pepe scored just 16 Premier League goals for the North London side and it seems his time at the Emirates is coming to an end.
How much Arsenal would be able to recoup of the £72 million they spent on the former LOSC Lille man remains unknown but a deal for the Ivorian to the Saudi side seems very plausible.
This summer, Pépé and Arsenal were in talks over the termination of his contract. The 28-year-old striker was left out of the Premier League side’s pre-season tour.

Is a move to Saudi Arabia for Pepe realistic
The Ivorian looked set to move to Turkish side Besiktas but that deal has now fallen through, despite the Turkish side being ready to offer the forward a three-year contract, the Ivorian rejected their advances as he seemingly did not want to play for the European side.
The outlet adds that an unnamed club from the Gulf Kingdom are pushing to sign the out-of-favour Arsenal man with the Premier League side currently in talks over his transfer fee.
Perhaps it is Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq who could be interested in the winger, the other top Saudi sides are well-stacked for wingers so Gerrard’s Saudi side could well be interested in the 28-year-old.

‘My ex-best friend is trying to manipulate me’ Reddit story’s background
The story sees OP’s boyfriend of three years cheating on her with her best friend of many years. OP confides in her best friend how she wishes to marry her current boyfriend. However, one day when he’s in the shower, she sees a notification on his phone from her best friend.
The best friend Nicky (fake name) is asking OP’s boyfriend Josh (fake name) if they are still on for tonight and if she should wear his favorite dress. OP comes across more messages from them that range from sharing explicit images to talking about the OP directly. When the OP confronts him, a huge fight breaks out.
She comes home and immediately starts getting calls and messages from her best friend Nicky. When OP does not pick up her calls the best friend begins texting about how it didn’t mean anything.” Nicky also becomes angry when OP does reply calling her “petty and childish” for not hearing her out. She further tells OP that Josh hit on her first and also said that she did not hurt her intentionally. The boyfriend is trying to reach out to OP too but she does not respond. However, things take a gnarly turn a few days later.
Girlfriends in conflict are sitting on the bench and sulking each other
WARNING: Mention of suicide ahead.
Nicky attempts suicide
A few days later when OP has recollected herself she texts both Josh and Nicky. She tells them both that she’s ending her relationship with them. He tells her that it was just s*x and that it didn’t mean anything. He attempts to call her three to four times and stops. Her best friend on the other hand threatens suicide when OP does not agree to hear her out.
OP confides in a mutual friend of her and Nicky about what had happened and the mutual friend ends up spreading the gossip. After Nicky’s actions become known she attempts suicide and ends up in the hospital. OP does not reach out to her and does not message either. Nicky’s sister later texts OP saying she is a “heartless bitch” abandoning Nicky at her lowest.
OP’s mom gets involved in the mess too which ends up ruining her relationship with her mother for good.
In her update to the “‘My ex-best friend is trying to manipulate me” story, the OP posts another “My ex-best friend attempted to take her life,” story. In the second story, the OP reveals that her mom persistently urges her to forgive Nicky.
OP reveals family secret after a fight with mom
When OP talks to her mother following the huge mess, her mom sides with Nicky saying “She’s hurting??” When the mom consistently urges OP to visit Nicky and be there for her, OP ends up giving her mom a very low blow.
” I raised you to be a kind, forgiving person. Why can’t you forgive her?” the mom says. To his OP replies “What? Like how Dad should’ve forgiven you?”
OP then reveals that her parents divorced because of cheating on her mom’s part. “My mum always believed dad should’ve just forgiven her,” OP shares. Her mom had to face hardships after her divorce from OP’s dad. Her dad never paid for anything that did not involve OP.
OP blocks her mom for a few days after she is infuriated by their previous chat. When she finally contacts her again she warns that if her mom forced her to mend things with Nicky, she would break contact for the rest of their life.
While OP’s mom does not ask her to forgive Nicky anymore, she does keep giving her updates about how Nicky is doing. OP’s mom is in touch with Nicky’s family and is worried for Nicky.
OP once again threatens her to not give her any updates and she stops. One day they decide to meet up for lunch and when OP arrives at the restaurant she sees Nicky and her older sister sitting there with her mom.
A furious OP barely says a few words to Nicky which involve saying “For someone who’s made a ‘mistake’, she sure hasn’t apologized for it, yet.” OP starts leaving when Nicky’s older sister begins yelling at her but OP simply leaves.
She goes home and blocks her mom once again. Her dad comforts her through the whole ordeal.
User’s comment on OP’s situation
Many users supported OP in the situation. Some even weighed in on how her mom was reflecting her bad perspective towards cheating and forgiving OP.
“Good on you for knowing your own morals and thoughts and not letting anyone else tell you how to think. I hope your Dad supports you in this,” one person wrote.
“Kudos for your stance, OP. Really proud of you. I hope you can get away from all of them and find better people. Better friends for example,” another person said.
“Your mother and your former friend are master manipulators. There is nothing a manipulator hates more than losing access to their victim, so of course they try to suck you back in. There is no reasoning with them. They will not change,” another user weighed in.
“She’s basically projecting through this entire situation. Seeing her own daughter cutting her best friend off for the same reason why she and the dad divorced set something off in her,” a third user weighed in.
Some were also very angry with the OP’s best friend.
“She’s heartless for sleeping with your boyfriend.”
“How can you not mean to intentionally hurt someone while sleeping with their boyfriend,” a user questioned.

The shocking news of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s reported death in a plane crash has left many internet users wondering about the Wagner Group owner’s net worth.
Russia’s avian authority has revealed that Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin was among the passengers reported dead in a private plane crash. The crash took place near the Russian village of Kuzhenkino. All the ten passengers of the private jet have been reported dead including Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin. Prigozhin had launched an abortive mutiny in June 2023 against Russia’s military leadership. His move posed a massive threat to President Vladimir Putin‘s authority. Amid the report of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death, many have begun searching for his net worth.

Inside Yevgeny Prigozhin’s net worth
Celebrity Net Worth portal notes Prigozhin was a billionaire. His net worth stood tall at $1 billion. The Russian warlord had a yacht, a private plane, and many other luxuries.
The Russian oligarch and mercenary leader was a former close confidant of President Putin. He was famously also called “Putins Chef.” As the story goes, Prigozhin started a chain of stalls selling hot dogs in St. Petersburg after his 13-year prison sentence for robbery and theft. As business began booming he opened a high-end restaurant.
BBC reports that one of Prigozhin’s restaurants is named New Island. The restaurant was essentially a sailing boat on the Neva River. Putin apparently fell in love with the place and took his foreign guests thereafter he became president. This is likely how the duo met for the first time.
“Vladimir Putin… saw that I had no problem serving plates to dignitaries in person,” Prigozhin reportedly said in an interview. “We met when he came with Japanese Prime Minister Mori.” Soon Prigozhin’s Concord catering company became the official food supplier to the Kremlin. This earned him the nickname “Putin’s Chef.”

Wagner Boss reported dead in plane crash
Prigozhin was aboard the Embraer Legacy 600 that went off the radar at 6.11 p.m. Moscow time. Social media is teeming with an unconfirmed video showing the plane hurling down the sky and crashing.
The ten other passengers aboard the private jet included Sergey Propustin, Valeriy Chekalov, Nikolay Matuseev,Evgeniy Makaryan, and Aleksandr Totmin. Crew members Commander Aleksei Levshin, co-pilot Rustam Karimov as well and flight attendant Kristina Raspopova were also aboard.
As per the St. Petersburg news outlet Fontanka (via Guardian) Prigozhin also had a cameraman on board along with, Wagner’s logistics manager.
The Wednesday, August 23 crash took place in the Tver region located to the northwest of Moscow.
Prigozhin was reported to be involved with the Wagner private military company. However, he did not confirm his involvement for a long time. However, in September 2022 he said he had founded the military group in 2014.
UFOs have become a hot topic over the past few months and now, unconfirmed videos showing the US military using a ‘UFO destroyer’ missile to blast anunidentified object in the sky are making rounds on social media.
Ever since UFO whistleblower David Grusch’s explosive claims about extraterrestrial beings and technology being present on Earth, the topic of UFOs and aliens has generated worldwide interest. He claimed that the US authorities allegedly possess “nonhuman biologics” also that “secret UFO programs” were in place. Now, every other day, claims of UFO spottings around the world pop up. In the midst of all this, a few videos on TikTok show what has been claimed as the US military “using” a “UFO destroyer” to stop unidentified and foreign objects from entering Earth.
In the past few days, a few TikTokers have shared videos that have caused others to wonder if the ‘US military’ has ever used a “UFO destroyer.”
The videos in question show a missile being launched from the ground toward three floating objects in the sky. After they reach a certain altitude and get closer to the bright object in the middle, the object itself moves forward and crashes with the missile.
Another video seemingly shows a different angle of missiles being launched at a giant UFO.
Even though some videos on TikTok claim that these missiles were launched by the US Military, there is no confirmation about the same. The visuals may well be CGI.
The clips have also left viewers divided, with some convinced it is real, while others don’t believe them at all. At the time of writing, no official reports about a missile launched to destroy UFOs have been released by the military.
US govt shot down four unidentified objects in 2023
By February 2023, the US government had shot down four unidentified objects spotted over the North American skies.
One of the first objects to be shot down in 2023 was the alleged Chinese spy balloon. Another one was shot down near Alaska just a few days later.
A third unidentified object came down near Canada. The authorities described the object as being “cylindrical.”
Another balloon spotted over Montana was also eliminated.
‘Three UFOs’ spotted over Nevada
In the past week, footage of alleged UFOs in Nevada began spreading on TikTok. The viral video shows three flying saucers supposedly flying over the desert.
The UFOs fit the description of a flying saucer.
The disc-like objects can be seen slowly flying in the sky as jet planes chase them.
Like every video about UFOs, that one too has divided opinion on social media.
A Reddit user asked if he was TA for calling his wife manipulative, only to get called out by fellow users pointing their fingers at him instead.
Many Reddit stories focus on interpersonal relationships as the parties involved in a marriage or a situation take to the platform to ask if they are in the wrong. The husband in the story we are taking on today thought his reaction to his emotional wife was absolutely fine until others called him out on his unacceptable behavior.

‘AITA for calling my wife manipulative’ is twisted
Users think the husband who asked ‘AITA for calling my wife manipulative’ offered a twisted narrative to make his wife the culprit.
The 2020 post has attracted the opinions of Redditers once again after it was re-posted to TikTok and even years later, people are convinced the husband is to blame in the situation.
The husband says his wife is overdramatic and her reaction to nearly everything is “exaggerated”. She would bawl her eyes over a sad scene in the movies or while sharing some sad experience from her own life.
The couple was meeting with their friends when the wife began to tell their friends a story with some details which the husband thought were made up.
He says he corrected his wife before his friends, but she simply brushed it off as something she does to make her stories more edgy and they aren’t always accurate.
But, the husband was still bothered by it and brought it up again with his wife once their friends left. The wife said she didn’t want to talk about it as they had already discussed it. The husband was irked by his wife’s response and they ended up bickering about it.
Husband’s reaction made the wife pull away
The husband blamed his wife for “manipulating” her way out of every conversation by simply crying and becoming extremely emotional.
She was taken aback by his remark and asked him if he meant what he said through shuttered breathing. The husband said she does twist the narrative of any argument by playing the victim.
The wife locked herself in their room as she wanted to “calm down” and told her husband a couple of hours later that she will stop being manipulative.
The Reddit user says the issue didn’t really resolve at this because his wife has become emotionally distant. She has since stopped watching movies that would make her sad, she doesn’t talk to him the way she used to and comes across as a different person if he’s around when they are with their friends.
When the husband confronted his wife, she told him she didn’t want to “manipulate” him anymore, hence she had grown distant. When the husband said that her “everyday crying wasn’t manipulative”, the wife responded: “So it’s only manipulative when you’re mad at me”
She even refused to watch her favorite movie with him and isn’t willing to accept his apology.
Users think the wife is not in the wrong
Reddit users have argued in favor of the wife, for her husband’s reaction to her true self made her shut down completely. Many have called out the Reddit user for being insensitive and manipulative.
One opined: “For some people, crying isn’t a choice, it’s a physiological reaction they can’t stop. I understand it can feel manipulative on the other side of it, but sometimes it truly can’t be helped”
“Some of you are calling her manipulative in the comments are missing the fact that she isn’t pulling up tears just any time they’re arguing, she genuinely cries about anything in movies, books etc. You can call that annoying or frustrating sure but she’s very clearly not being manipulative,” said another.
A third comment read: “YTA for making you wife shut down completely. When you humiliate someone for expressing themselves, you can do a lot of damage, especially to their ability to trust you or anyone else.”
The Reddit story titled ‘AITA for not eating despite being pregnant’ follows the qualms of a hungry woman with a bun in her oven and her family’s reaction to her state of being.
The personal stories you find on Reddit are as interesting and intriguing as any fictional plot and the real-life factor associated with it only makes it more appealing and relatable in most instances. One such story about a pregnant woman and her family has prompted users to sympathize with the hardworking mother, whose efforts are being overlooked.

Woman asks ‘AITA for not eating despite being pregnant’
The Reddit user and her fiance have been dating for six years and she’s currently 8 months pregnant. He got into the relationship with full custody of his two kids – an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son.
The pregnant woman has no issues with her husband’s “great” kids from his previous relationship. The youngest kid has hyperactive ADHD and the Reddit user has started to feel the kids have gotten clingy. She doesn’t know if it’s always been the case or if the hormones from pregnancy have made her irritable.
She watches the kids during the day while her husband is at work as she’s taken off from her her job and isn’t employed currently. Her fiance rarely comes for home lunch.
One day, she went to make lunch for the kids and they both decided to have ramen noodles. After preparing the lunch for the kids, she fixed a salad for herself and she was starved by now.
Her fiance comes home unexpectedly and asks if he could have some of the salad but it wasn’t enough for two. So, the wife made another salad for herself, when the daughter started to whine because she wanted to have it too.
11-year-old daughter throws her food on the floor
The pregnant lady was ticked off because she had given the daughter the choice to have salad earlier but she went with ramen still.
The daughter got whinier when the Reddit user reminded her of the option she gave her and even dropped her food on the floor. The pregnant woman threw her salad on the table and walked away.
The 11-year-old girl started to slap the salad all over her face to show how excited she was about eating it, which she does every time she eats, says the Reddit user.
After not being able to eat despite making the food twice for herself, the pregnant woman walks away and sits on the couch refusing to eat. She tells her fiance she doesn’t want to make the salad for the third time and that she rather would stay hungry.
But, the fiance thinks the wife was being over dramatic. He thought it was petty of the pregnant woman to starve herself because others had eaten her food.
The woman blames her fiance for teaching her how to say no to others, instead of correcting his own daughter.
Users feel bad for the pregnant woman
The majority of the users think the pregnant woman’s family isn’t treating her with the respect she deserves for all that she does for them despite being pregnant.
The “lack of empathy” has shocked many who think the Reddit user must start focusing on herself.
One commented: “Firstly, you don’t come home expecting food without texting first. Secondly, that child is ELEVEN. It’s fully ridiculous for her to behave that way. Thirdly you don’t fuck with a pregnant person’s food. Not ever.”
“These kids don’t respect you. This man doesn’t respect you. It sounds like your partner got mad at YOU when HIS kid disrespected you by dumping out food. Also, you are 8 months pregnant growing his child. He should be coming home and cooking for you and not the other way around,” said another.
A third person wrote: “That 11-year-old should be disciplined for wasting good food and making a mess of herself. She’s not acting her age, and her father isn’t disciplining her.”
Virgo season is finally here! Twitter users were quick to burst into memes as they celebrated the zodiac sign on August 23.
Hardworking, practical, kind, and quick thinkers, Virgos knows precisely how to achieve the things they set their eyes on. Some even believe that you are lucky if you have Virgos as your best friend, but amid this, there are people who know how hard it can be for Virgos to manage their lives and the people around them. It did not take long for social media users to turn to Twitter with some hilarious memes regarding the same.
A deleted Reddit story titled ‘My golden child brother disowned me for being adopted’ has left readers livid with anger over their brother’s misbehavior and entitlement.
While Reddit is a great place for people to vent about their family drama, work problems, and relationship troubles, some stories end up getting deleted. One such recent Reddit post titled‘My golden child brother disowned me for being adopted and now wants favors from me’ got deleted. However, given the original poster aka OP’s crazy family drama, it has gained a lot of traction already. It has also left users extremely angry. The deleted Reddit post made it onto TikTok but some of its parts are still missing. Here we unpack the full family saga for you.
‘My golden child brother disowned me for being adopted’ Reddit story’s background
The ‘My golden child brother disowned me for being adopted’ story sees OP suffering massive family drama and even mistreatment from some of her family members. She was adopted at age 16 by her half-brother and wife who at the time were in their late 30s. This makes them OP’s mum and dad. The couple already had six children of their own.
OP was able to mingle with all the kids except the “golden child” Chad who was only four months older than OP. She calls Chad an “insensitive a**hole for literally everyone.” OP says that as a child he got into fistfights with their older sister and also had “extreme anger issues.” He apparently often broke doors and left holes in the wall. OP says that Chad was able to get away with everything and was allowed more freedom than other kids.
Chad was also a bully who told OP that she “would never be a part of the family” in front of their high school friends. Now Chad gets married right after high school and has a baby soon after. OP distances herself from Chad and also tries to tell her mom about the horrible and mean things he has said to her. But the mom isn’t too bothered about it. However, the tables turn when Chad and his wife need OP’s help.
OP is requested to babysit Chad’s kid for a night
One day OP gets a strange request from Chad’s wife wanting her to babysit their kid. The couple apparently want to go out but can’t due to their child being in the weaning phase and also because the baby is “extremely clingy.”
OP is good at dealing with crying children and is also an insomniac, hence they think she fits the bill to babysit for them. After some thinking, she accepts the offer and shows up at Chad’s house. Chad’s wife greets her, she shows up and simply nods and waves slightly at OP. While the wife complains that the baby is having crying fits at night and won’t sleep till mid-morning, OP does not have too much trouble with him.
After waiting for them to show up from their date, OP texts them hours later. She gets no response and when they show up OP decides to leave. While passing by her brother, she says “So you are not going to say anything to me after I looked after your kid for like seven hours now.”
He snorts and says no “My wife is the one who talked me into this anyway.”
OP tells him she thought he was trying to patch things up by asking her to babysit his kid out of all the people in their big family. She thought it was his way of apologizing.
He asks why he needs to apologize and says, “Man you need to understand that me and my wife are not going to cater to you like mom and dad did because you were adopted.” He further says “You ain’t our family and you won’t ever be.”
When OP’s mother finds out she tries to make excuses for Chad. Even her sister asks her to get over it.
OP’s family starts excluding her from big family events
After being hurt by her family’s response to her encounter with Chad, OP has no contact with them for a while. One day while scrolling through Instagram she finds out her oldest brother is engaged to his girlfriend of four years. Although it’s been a week since the engagement, no one tells her about it.
She phones her brother’s girlfriend who states that OP’s mom told her that she had informed everybody in the family. The OP shows up at her family’s house later where the wedding planning is going on. She realizes she has been excluded from being the wedding’s main cast. Her brother’s girlfriend later tells her that her own mother said she was “unfeminine” and wouldn’t be interested in bridal things. The mom also urges the bride and groom to be, to add OP as a guest at the wedding and not a family member.
Around the same time, OP’s family learns that she is bisexual and is dating girls. This apparently causes her mom to panic. One day her mom shows up at her place telling her a “prejudiced story” about getting hit on by a girl when she had gone to the bar, a long time ago.
One day she receives a text from her little brother saying that their mom is going crazy about OP’s dating life and that her dad is simply saying that OP dating girls is simply a trauma response as she was abused by her biological dad as a kid.
The OP posted three updates on her story revealing all of the above. Now fans are waiting for a fourth update which is yet to drop.
User’s urge OP to block her family
“OP is making me frustrated just block them smh,” one TikTok user said.
“Why are they even in op’s life?? I would have blocked and changed my number and just completely forgotten about them. They don’t love op at all,” another user weighed in.
“Block them tell GF to block them. Live your life. Boundaries. Gosh,” another frustrated user stated.
“Why is she still dealing with them,” another confused user said.

A recent influencer linkup went wrong after Twitch streamer Konvy ended up violently slapping one of the Island Boys. Kick streamer N3on and internet star Fousey were also present at the meet and got involved in the huge mess.
Drama between streamers and internet creators is not new. Often, their feuds have become extremely messy and have also led to violence. A recent influencer meet-up that saw the likes of Island Boys, N3on, Fousey, Jack Doherty, and Konvy come together went south after a fight broke out among the group. It resulted in one of the Island Boys getting slapped by Konvy. Fousey also got into a fight with fellow YouTube star Jack. Videos from the messy get-together are flooding Twitter with fans weighing in on the chaos.
Streamer Konvy slaps one of the Island Boys
Twitch streamer Konvy got into a heated argument with the Island Boys after they began picking on Kick star N3on. Fans might remember that N3on recently got “jumped” by a bunch of miscreants. The viral video from the incident shows a group of guys bullying him after they tore his clothes.
Konvy is seen standing between the Island Boys during his interaction with N3on, who is seen lying on the couch.
“Don’t touch me bro,” one of the Island Boys tells Konvy, who goes on to push him. The two started hurling expletives at each other while the bodyguards try to contain the situation and keep them away from each other.
The twins then try to attack Konvy. They threaten each other to not touch them. At one point, Konvy slaps one of the Island Boys and he is pushed out of the door of the house by the bodyguards.
The Island Boys, who are both caught off guard, run behind Konvy, trying to get a hold of him.

Fans hail Konvy for defending N3on
While some fans expressed how ‘crazy’ the live stream drama was, others hailed Konvy for defending N3on.
“Konvy REAL for sticking up for N3on ONG,” one person said.
“Konvy has gained my respect, ong he’s him,” another expressed.
Some, however, thought it was all fake.
“FAKE, this N3on, Kovey and Island Boys drama was fake AF,” another Twitter user expressed.
Fousey also got into a fight with Jack Doherty
Besides the Island Boys and Konvy making a mess out of themselves, Fousey, who is a well-known YouTuber and streamer, also got into a heated argument with fellow YouTube star Jack Doherty.
In the videos on Twitter, we see Fousey slamming N3on and the Island Boys for being “beta as f**k.” At this, Jack walks in and says Fousey is “beta as f**k.” An angered Fousey opens his bottle and hurls water at Jack. In response to Fousey’s shenanigans, Jack too throws water on him.
Fousey then smacks Jack in the face while the latter keeps hurling insults at him. Jack calls Fousey a “b***h.” Fousey is then escorted out of the mansion by the bodyguards.

YouTuber got arrested
Once Fousey returned to his hotel room following the mess, he decided to take things up a notch.
He called the police on a live stream and swatted himself. On his call to the cops, Fousey lies and says “there’s a gun to my head, right now.”
The cops arrive shortly and handcuff Fousey, who can be seen insulting them too.
He screamed as the cops walked him out of his hotel room.
Train passengers are set to face difficulties on September 1st due to the Aslef union taking strike action on that day. RMT’s train strikes will follow the Aslef one.
Train strikes have been going on in the UK for more than a year now. Since June 2022 several railway workers have been on strike on and off for pay raise to reflect the increasing inflation rates. The past few months have seen the strikes becoming fewer. But an upcoming strike on September 1st will cause a major disruption in UK’s transport network on that day and the next one.

Aslef union to hold train strikes on September 1
The Aslef union announced a strike on Friday, September 1. This along with an ‘action short of a strike’ on Saturday, September 2.
Hence, the drivers represented by Aslef will go on strike on September 1. Their union is also banning overtime shifts on a consecutive day on September 2. The overtime ban falls on the same day as RMT’s second walkout in a week.
Announcing the industrial action on August 18 the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) stated on its website that the strike will “seriously disrupt the network.” They say the reason for this is that “none of the privatized train operating companies employs enough drivers to provide a proper service without drivers working on their days off.”
However, Aslef’s general secretary Mick Whelan said that they don’t want to have to go on strike again. However, he also said that the train companies and the government backing them “refuse to sit down and talk to us and have not made a fair and sensible pay offer to train drivers who have not had one for four years – since 2019.”

RMT has two upcoming strikes too
While Aslef’s strikes will cause major disruption, their impact will be compounded by RMT’s two upcoming strikes.
One of the RMT strikes will be on Saturday, August 26. A second one is scheduled on Saturday, September 2. iNews notes that the RMT action will likely be on the same scale as its previous shutdowns in the past that affected majority of UK’s train networks.
Tickets for Fyre Festival 2 have gone on sale, but what’s the price for them and where can you buy tickets for Billy McFarland’s organized event?
In 2017, Fyre Festival became the talk of the town as people were excited about the luxurious festival. However, things started crumbling down soon as attendees realized that the real situation was nothing like what was advertised. The disastrous event resulted in a Netflix documentary, but it looks like organizer Billy McFarland is ready to redeem himself as he announced Fyre Festival 2.
Where to buy tickets for Fyre Festival 2
Some of the tickets for the Fyre Festival 2 are currently on sale and can be purchased from their official website.
The announcement about the new event came from Billy’s official Instagram account where he assured his followers that this event will not be like what happened in 2017.
At the moment, the website notes that the festival is set to take place in the Caribbean and December 6, 2024 has been mentioned as the date.
How much are the tickets?
A total of 777 tickets will be sold for the festival and its cost depends on the slot you fall under. The first 100 tickets have already been sold out. However, party-goers still have a chance to get their hands on them.
Tickets 101 to 500, The Fyre Four Hundred are for $799, tickets 501 to 600, the Fyre starters are for $1,199, tickets 601 to 650, and Pre-sale 1 are for $1,799.
Meanwhile, tickets 651 to 700, pre-sale 2 are for $2,699, tickets 701 to 750, pre-sale 3 are for $4,899, and lastly, the remaining tickets, that is 751 to 777, pre-sale last chance will be for $7,999.
What happened during Fyre Festival in 2017?
In 2017, Fyre Festival attendees complained about not getting proper meals or a place to stay. When the event was first announced people were promised a luxurious stay with all the amenities.
However, when they arrived, they noticed there were only tents and no proper place to sleep. The event was hyped by celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and many more.
At first, the event was postponed as the organizers tried to tackle the situation. However, it was eventually cancelled.
Facebook users have a chance to get a share of a $725 million class action lawsuit, but how do you apply for this?
The lawsuit, which was filed in 2018, claimed that Mark Zuckerberg‘s company was responsible for disclosing personal details of more than 87 million Facebook users. It further alleged that this information was used to target US voters during the 2016 campaign involving Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. While the social media platform has denied these allegations it recently agreed to pay the settlement.

When the deadly wildfire tore through the city of Lahaina in Maui, one ‘miracle’ house survived, and the properties around it burned down to ashes. The red-roofed house centering the social media discussions is 100 years old.
One of the worst natural disasters to hit Maui Island in Hawaii has claimed 106 lives with at least 1000 residents still missing. Most of the historic city of Lahaina was reduced to rubble but a few miracle structures are still standing. This includes the Maria Lanakila Catholic Church on Front Street and the century-old home in West Maui.

One house in Maui hasn’t burned down in the fires
The two-story house with white walls and a red roof is the only standing home in West Maui as the flames from the fires engulfed the properties around the miracle structure that appears untouched.
The new images of the house seem unreal as the house surrounded by ashes and charred trees is the only thing that wasn’t consumed by the fire.
The owners of the house said the building is 100 years old and it wasn’t intentionally fireproofed. They were on a trip to Massachusetts when the fire started and after watching their neighborhood ablaze, the couple assumed their home would have burned down too.
When the aerial footage from the next morning showed their red-roofed intact, they teared up. But, the couple still feels “guilty” to be the owners of the only standing home on a block of housing.
The 100-year-old home was renovated
The house on Front Street was purchased by its current owners two years ago. It used to be a bookkeeper’s house for employees of a sugar plantation, reports BBC.
The husband and wife duo renovated the house by replacing the old roof of the wooden house with heavy-gauge metal. The house was surrounded by river stones after removing the foliage around it.
The owners of the viral house, Trip Millikin and his wife Dora Atwater Millikin, did not intend to make the house resilient against fire, but the renovation seems to have worked miracles.
“It’s a 100% wood house, so it’s not like we fireproofed it or anything,” Dora said. “If it was an asphalt roof, it would catch on fire. And otherwise, they would fall off the roof and then ignite the foliage around the house,”
Most of Lahaina suffered major damages in the 2023 Hawaii fires
The most renowned restaurants and historic sites of great significance were lost in the deadly wildfire that engulfed the city of Lahaina.
Prayers for the 150-year-old Banyan tree flooded social media when videos showing the devastation on Front Street were shared by the impacted communities as flames from the wildfire continued to spread across the Island.
Locals started putting lists of missing residents together as all sorts of communication were lost and people were evacuated in large numbers from hotels and private properties due to power outages.
As Maui Island suffers unimaginable damages from the recent natural disaster, public funds through donations are being directed toward the affected communities amid ongoing recovery operations.
