US Open's Rideshare Chaos: Why Fans Are Fed Up

US Open's Rideshare Chaos: Why Fans Are Fed Up

The “Grand Slam” strikes again.Chaos engulfed US Open fans after Coco Gauff’s semifinal loss Thursday night — as exhausted attendees faced insane rideshare price hikes for short journeys, ridiculously long wait times and heavy traffic when exiting Arthur Ashe Stadium. The troublesome transit situation has been pissing off tennis fans trying to snag a ride after matches since last year, when US Open organizers first changed the designated pick-up/drop-off lot from its longtime spot at the Unisphere outside USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to Lot H of the New York Hall of Science.After Thursday night’s match, the rideshare pickup and drop-off lot was packed. Stefano Giovannini for NY PostThough the change was made in an effort to simplify transit, one anonymous tournament worker told The Post that it spurred the opposite effect and was “confusing everyone,” adding that there have been “a lot of complaints about the entire system.”This year’s attendees, like Silvio Silva, agree, complaining that the US Open transit chaos has only grown worse, stooping to a new low this year.Tennis fans Silvio Silva (L) and Patrick Kana (R) had a rude awakening after Tuesday’s match, when faced with high Uber prices in the early morning hours. Silvio SilvaThe 29-year-old New Yorker and his friend, Patrick Kana, were appalled by the insane prices that appeared on their Uber app when trying to catch a ride home Tuesday night after what was declared the latest match in the tournament’s 145-year history, which wrapped up at 3:33 a.m.Kana joked that he “might just sleep” at the stadium after seeing Uber prices home. Silvio SilvaTo get from the Flushing Meadows venue to Valley Stream, Long Island — a ride that would normally only cost around $55 — ranged from $197.97 for an UberXl, $275.96 for an UberX, with priority pick-up ringing in at $283.99 Tuesday night.In an Instagram reel posted by Silva, Kana holds his phone showing the price hikes and joked that he “might just sleep” at the Queens stadium, before the pair walked a short distance to Lot E by the nearby Home Depot to call an Uber for a comparatively reasonable $56 ($65 without his small discount).Kana told The Post that the combination of the stadium’s wildly large crowds herding towards public transit and their own sleep deprivation made them yearn for the theoretical ease of Uber.“At 4 a.m. after sitting through a long match, it was definitely frustrating,” he told The Post, saying that he and Silva have also experienced the annoyance of multiple last-minute canceled Uber rides after other matches.Some attendees even accused Uber drivers of blocking other cheaper rideshare companies from getting to riders.“You’ve just had this amazing experience watching the US Open, you’re tired, and then suddenly going home becomes another major expense and something you have to strategize around,” he added.Despite their frustration, Silva empathized with the tournament workers who he assumed would have to stay even later and potentially need to navigate the rideshare craziness themselves after an exceptionally long shift.The chaos of price hikes, traffic congestion and long wait times has frustrated tired tennis fans who opted for rideshares after the US Open. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post“We didn’t take it kindly because we know we’re not the only people in [that] scenario,” he told The Post.Eleanora Srugo, a 38-year-old real estate broker, shared this frustration.She told The Post that while she typically hires a personal driver to chauffeur her to and from the tournament, making her annual trip, she “did not think I was going to need him until 4 a.m.” on Tuesday.Srugo, who said she hasn’t been able to figure out how to get her driver the credentials necessary to use the designated VIP zones (which the US Open reserves for high-tier package holders and luxury suite guests at various exclusive entry points for smoother arrival and departure), described the rideshare pickup zone as a “s–t show.”To get back to Manhattan, she settled on a yellow cab idling nearby for a $120 flat fee to avoid actually entering Lot H, strategically sidestepping the commotion and long Uber wait times.Many fans have felt frustrated by the confusion and chaos of the ride pickup area. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post“All of the cabs and Ubers were sort of waiting in this one lane that they could not get out of,” Srugo recalled. “So once they had entered that lane, they were there — my yellow cab was in there — for an hour,” proving that even taxis weren’t immune to this chaos. Tennis fan and New York digital creator Ektaa Dutt, who wrote a detailed post in late August titled, “How to do the US Open Right: A Lifelong New Yorker’s Guide,” in her Substack “Sweet Escape in the City,” has seen Uber wait times take up to 45 minutes, point-blank telling The Post, “The long wait times are not worth it.”“You’re stuck sitting in traffic, exiting the grounds as well. So it definitely just feels it feels more chaotic, even though you might think you’re saving your time.”While tennis fan and New York digital creator Ektaa Dutt appreciated that the tournament tried to make transit easier by moving the lot, she said the lengthy rideshare wait times are “not worth it.” Stefano Giovannini for NY PostShe said she appreciated USTA’s attempt to streamline transit by moving the designated rideshare lot to the New York Hall of Science, but due to the wild demand from attendees this year, the venue “can’t keep up.”“It’s just hard to corral the huge groups of crowds into that one space,” complained Dutt. “And then online, the Uber app itself is really hard to then kind of push out Ubers for people. So the demand, I don’t think, is keeping up with the amount of people that are there.”For Lauren Cobello, a public relations firm owner who regularly attends the US Open for brand activations, spares herself the rideshare aggravation by taking public transportation to and from the center if she can.Or, like many others who wised up after Tuesday’s late-night fiasco, schedules a ride a few days in advance to keep the price down.Scheduling advance rideshares can be a way to keep costs down. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post“Let’s say you scheduled [an Uber] to pick you up in half an hour —you’re going to also save money that way…When the match ends, that’s when the prices jump up,” explained Cobello.When asked about this worsening rideshare situation, senior Uber rep Josh Gold told The Post that “fares in New York are driven by some of the highest costs in the country,” adding that “what people experienced during the US Open is the collision of those government-mandated costs with surging demand at a major event.”However, he expressed frustration, saying that the rideshare pickup area is “managed by event and public safety officials, not Uber,” and that it has been designated for use by all rideshare and for-hire vehicle providers.Josh Gold, a senior Uber rep, claimed the company has tried to partner with USTA to improve fan experience but that they’ve “not ever been able to reach an agreement.” Stefano Giovannini for NY PostGold also claimed that Uber has tried to partner with USTA on logistics and additional transportation options that could improve the current congestion and the fan experience, but that they’ve “not ever been able to reach an agreement” and Uber is “just as frustrated as New Yorkers are.”The Post reached out to USTA and the US Open for comment, but has not received a response.

Pete Davidson Faces Emotional 9/11 Anniversary as a Father

Pete Davidson Faces Emotional 9/11 Anniversary as a Father

Pete Davidson has a new perspective on his dad’s death now that he’s a father himself. “I thought, ‘Oh, he was an old guy. He’s 33,’” Davidson, 32, told the New York Post on Tuesday, September 8. “But now I’m there, and I have a kid, and that would be like my kid not having her dad.” Pete was 7 years old when his father, Scott Matthew Davidson, a New York City firefighter, died while responding to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Now, 25 years later, Pete is remembering his dad while raising his own daughter, Scottie, whom he welcomed with ex Elsie Hewitt in December 2025. “This year is extra tough, but also extra beautiful because I get to spend the day with Scottie,” he told the newspaper ahead of the 25th anniversary of Scott’s death. “It’ll be very healing and special.” For Pete, it felt only right to name his daughter after his late dad. Hewitt, 30, was in complete agreement. “It was really cool that Elsie also wanted to name her Scottie,” he told the Post. “My dad’s name was Scott, but his nickname was Scotty. When she arrived, we both looked at her and were like, ‘She looks like a Scottie.’ It’s nice to keep that name alive.” Pete and Hewitt, who began dating in early 2025, announced that July that they were expecting their first child. Us later confirmed the pair’s split in May after about five months of parenthood. Looking back at his and Hewitt’s early days as parents, Pete told the outlet that he could sense a connection between Scottie and his father. “When Scottie was first born, we’d give her a bath in the sink, and there’s a picture of my dad above the sink. She would always stare at it,” the Saturday Night Live alum recalled. “You’re like, ‘I don’t know if that’s because that’s the only picture there and she’s brand-new and just observing things.’ But then I moved back to Brooklyn and put the picture in a different location. When I walk around, Scottie always turns her head and looks at him.” He continued, “I don’t know what I believe in, but I like to think that his presence is somehow around.” Pete also said he has yet to decide how he’ll tell Scottie about her grandfather’s tragic death. “Luckily, I have some time,” the King of Staten Island star said. “Honestly, this year is way harder than it’s been in a really long time because I have Scottie, and now I’m the age that my dad was when he died. So I’m just kind of like, ‘Holy s***.’” He added, “I have old videos and pictures and stuff, and I’m excited to share the classic stories I have of him with her.” Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Pete joined 9/11 Day’s “UNIITE for Good” Movement, a campaign calling for Americans to band together and engage in charitable services and good deeds across the country. Pete remembered his dad in a recent video for 9/11 Day. “He was a firefighter for Ladder 118, Engine 205 in Brooklyn Heights. My dad loved being a fireman, and he loved saving people, as he did on that day,” he said in the clip. “9/11 is usually a tough day, but this organization, 9/11 Day, does something cool where you do a good deed for someone and you pass it along. You try to make the day a little bit lighter.” Pete concluded, “Together, let's show up for each other. Let's unite for good. I think my dad would have loved that.” Those interested in participating in the UNIITE for Good Movement can head to 911day.org to pledge a good deed.

How a Kindergarten Dropoff Spared Howard Lutnick on 9/11

How a Kindergarten Dropoff Spared Howard Lutnick on 9/11

Brandon Lutnick recalled the family losses that shaped his childhood after the Sept. 11 attacks — including the deaths of his uncle and godfather — as Cantor Fitzgerald marked 25 years since 658 of its New York employees were killed.“I don’t remember 9/11.

NHL Prospect Austin Roest's Heartfelt Message Amid Girlfriend's Cancer Battle

NHL Prospect Austin Roest's Heartfelt Message Amid Girlfriend's Cancer Battle

NHL prospect Austin Roest shared a message of support after his girlfriend, Milly Okabe, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  “Milly, I don’t even know what to say,” Roest, 22, wrote via Instagram on Friday, September 4. “I am so sorry this is happening to you. No one deserves to go through this. That being said, I have no doubt in my mind you will beat cancer. You are the strongest person I know and I know you will overcome everything that comes your way over the next year. I love you so much and I will be right there with you through all of this ❤️.” The hockey player shared two pictures from Okabe’s hospital bed, while urging his followers to donate to a GoFundMe set up “to help support Milly and her family during this difficult time.” Roest was drafted by the Nashville Predators in the sixth round of the 2023 NHL Draft. He split last season between the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals and the ECHL’s Atlanta Gladiators. According to the GoFundMe, Okabe, 22, was diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer that starts in the glands that line the organs.  Okabe revealed her diagnosis on Friday in a social media post of her own.  “There’s a lot of fear of the unknown, but what I do know is that I am extremely lucky in this life to have friends that are family, and a family that loves me this hard,” she shared via Instagram. Okabe added, “Thank you to everyone who has supported me in any way. I’m so extremely grateful.” Roest and Okabe have been dating for over three years, per the athlete’s Instagram. “1 year with the best ❤️,” he gushed in June 2024.  Okabe, a former figure skater, is described as “a kind, strong and selfless person who means so much to everyone around her,” in the fundraiser arranged in her honor. “Skating has always been a huge part of Milara’s life,” the GoFundMe reads. “After spending years as a high-level skater herself, she now loves being able to share that passion by teaching kids how to skate. Outside of the rink, she is constantly with the people she loves the most — her friends and family, as well as simply having the most fun in everything she does.” The page continues, “As Milara goes through treatment, her family is doing everything possible to remain by her side. Along with the emotional weight of her diagnosis, she is now facing time away from work, travel and accommodation costs, medications, fertility preservation, and many other unexpected expenses. Our hope is to surround Milara and her family with the same love and support they have always shown the people around them. By easing some of the financial pressure, we hope they can focus their energy on what matters most right now Milara’s care, well-being, and spending time together as a family.” Okabe’s GoFundMe had raised over $50,000 at the time of this story’s publication.

Chris Johnson's Heartfelt Letter Reveals NFL's Shadow Over His ALS Battle

Chris Johnson's Heartfelt Letter Reveals NFL's Shadow Over His ALS Battle

Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is reflecting on his NFL career — and the potential role it had in his ALS diagnosis. Johnson, 40, published a letter to his four kids in the Players’ Tribune on Thursday, September 10, where he drew a link between his football days and his diagnosis, which he went public with in June. “I’ve seen a lot of neurologists at this point and been to basically every major ALS clinic in the country, and in my experience, as soon as you say you played football it’s like, ‘Ahh, OK,’” he wrote. “Almost like an understanding, you know? I read one study, and from my understanding, it found that former NFL players were nearly four times as likely to develop and pass away from ALS compared with the U.S. male population overall. That was a shock.” He added, “And to be clear, your dad’s not an expert, and that’s just one study, and there might be other environmental factors at play. Anybody can get ALS. But obviously, I can’t help but wonder if there’s any connection between my career and where I am now.” Chris and his wife, Brittany, share four kids, who he addressed as Honey Buns, CJ, Kaden and Lee in his letter. A three-time Pro Bowler, Chris played 10 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Titans, and was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2009. He retired in 2017. Almost a decade later, Chris is not looking to discourage his kids from playing football, despite the possible connection to his ALS. “Your football journey is yours,” he wrote. “Be fearless, be you, and don’t let anyone stand in the way of your dreams. The game is a lot safer now than when I was playing. And hopefully it just keeps on getting safer.” Chris first shared his diagnosis in an appearance on Good Morning America alongside his wife, who said she is still holding out hope for a miracle. “All I could think about was our kids and how young they are,” she said. “You’re in denial. You want it to be anything else. You want the doctors to be wrong. The life that we previously had is now a thing of the past. But we’re still hopeful. We’re hopeful that a breakthrough will happen, or that a miracle will happen.” Chris also sent a message to his kids that day, telling them via Instagram that “I love you more than you’ll ever know.” “You’ve stepped into responsibilities no child should ever have to carry,” he wrote. “You’ve helped take care of me, encouraged me on the hard days, and reminded me every day why I refuse to give up. Watching you shoulder a burden that isn’t fair has been one of the hardest parts of the journey, but you’ve done it with so much love. Everything I do is for you.”

Why Eagles' Security Chief 'Big Dom' Is Under NFL Investigation

Why Eagles' Security Chief 'Big Dom' Is Under NFL Investigation

Big Dom could be in big trouble.Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro, the Eagles’ security czar, is being investigated by the NFL regarding allegations made by ex-NFLer Emmanuel Acho that one of his former teams once influenced an investigation into a car accident by saying he’d send a favorable police officer to the scene who would pin it on the other driver, according to longtime Philadelphia reporter Derrick Gunn.The specific team was not named nor was DiSandro referenced by Acho.The Post reached out to the NFL for comment Thursday morning but had not heard back.Dom DiSandro, aka “Big Dom,” is seen prior to Eagles Training Camp in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Ouzounova / SplashNews.comAcho, the FS1 star who also hosts the “Speakeasy” podcast, only suited up for the Eagles during his career, although he spent time with the Browns and Giants.He revealed for the first time last month on his podcast in the aftermath of 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan’s car accident that he rear-ended a car en route to practice one day.“I hit one of our security people. He says, ‘Acho, when the cop shows up, send the cop away. I’m going to send you another cop and that other cop is going to say it wasn’t your fault, it was their fault.’ I was like, ‘Wait, they do that?’ So, I hit him,” the former linebacker said. “Cop comes up. ‘Hey, everything good?’ I’m like, ‘Everything’s good, don’t worry about it. Somebody is going to come here. That cop leaves. We send another cop. The other cop that comes to document says she’s at fault. I was like, ‘Yo, this is crazy.'”Such a scenario obviously goes against the law and indicates that both the police officer in question and said NFL team conspired to alter a situation to their benefit.Acho said he did not feel bad about the situation, though, because the person he hit learned of his identity and he alleged they used that information to their benefit.“And they were like, ‘Ah, man, I’ve been in the hospital for the last couple of weeks with a back, my daughter, concussions, da di da da da. Our head of security had to offer them two home tickets, plus signed jerseys and then they were like, ‘Oh, no, we’re fine,” Acho said. One of the show’s co-hosts later stated how Acho only spent time with the Browns, Eagles and Giants during his brief career.The Browns drafted him in the sixth round in 2012 before trading him to the Eagles in 2013, who cut him before he joined the Giants’ practice squad.Philadelphia then claimed Acho that November and he appeared in six games that season before playing in 14 the following year.The Eagles waived him the following August and re-signed him in November, although he did not appear in any games with the team before being released again.Emmanuel Acho told his story last month. @speakeasy/YouTubeFormer Eagles star running back and “Speakeasy” co-host LeSean heard the story and did not react in any way that indicated he knew of the situation.The two spent two years together with the Eagles from 2013-14.Former Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel, though, called out Acho even though the two did not spend time together with the franchise.“Like I said before, watch who you do business with,” he wrote in a quote tweet of the allegations. “We have an investigation going on because fool is dying for attention and a gossip queen smfh.”DiSandro joined the Eagles in 1999 and his official title is senior advisor to the general manager/chief security officer/head of gameday coaching operations.Dom DiSandro, aka “Big Dom,” is seen on Thursday, August 13, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. GC ImagesHis team biography states he “oversees all safety and security matters for players, coaches, and executives. He also directs security at the team’s training complex, is responsible for security measures related to team travel and logistics and provides education on the NFL’s personal conduct policy.”He is the NFL’s most high-profile security staffer, receiving a sideline ban 2023 after engaging in a sideline spat with then-49ers star Dre Greenlaw.

Judge Judy's Son Sparks Outrage Over 9/11 Memorial Controversy

Judge Judy's Son Sparks Outrage Over 9/11 Memorial Controversy

The families of 9/11 victims opposed to Zohran Mamdani’s attendance at the 25th anniversary memorial have received celebrity support. Banging his gavel in the name of respect for the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, Adam Levy, son of world-renowned Judge Judith “Judy” Sheindlin, and star jurist of forthcoming CBS series “Adam’s Law,” is unabashedly backing the throng of protestors who’ve called for Mamdani’s exclusion from this year’s annual remembrance ceremony at Ground Zero, Friday, at 8:46 a.m. “Don’t show up at this memorial when you’ve supported radical Islam in the past,” Levy raged to The Post about Hizzoner. “Stand up for what you believe in. Stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.” The Bronx native, who was a private-practice attorney at the time of the attack, was referring to Mamdani’s controversial support of radicals with anti-American agendas, such as views shared by Aber Kawas.Judge Adam Levy is calling out Mayor Mamdani and Gov. Hochul in defense of grieving 9/11 mourners ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Matthew McDermott for NY PostKawas — a DSA member and self-described “Muslim civil rights advocate” who once described 9/11 as a terror attack that a “couple people did” — clinched the Democratic nomination for a Queens state Senate seat in June after Mamdani’s enthusiastic support and endorsement.The NY District Attorney-turned-television host also blasted Mamdani’s anti-Israel agenda as “disgusting.”“His policies are disgusting. He doesn’t have any business being mayor; he should go back to being a rapper,” Levy, 57, scoffed, referring to Mamdani’s past profession as emcee “Mr. Cardamom.”The 34-year-old democratic socialist wasted no time revoking city policies supporting the Jewish state and combating hatred against Jews once he was sworn in on New Year’s Day. The newly minted mayor spent his first day in office retracting an executive order issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams, that barred city officials from boycotting or divesting from Israel. He also repealed an order that adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, which Adams’ administration said included “demonizing Israel and holding it to double standards as forms of contemporary antisemitism.”Despite the calls for his exclusion, Mamdani has not announced any plans to abstain from the 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero. AFP via Getty ImagesA petition for Mamdani’s ban from the 9/11 tribute, launched by Giovanni Galante — whose wife, Grace, 29, was killed during the terrorist attack — cites the mayor’s reluctance to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” and his associations with other controversial individuals like his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem.Kassem previously represented an al-Qaeda tanker-bombing pilot.Protesters marched on City Hall Tuesday, presenting the petition to Kassem’s chief of staff.“For 9/11 families, this is not simply a public ceremony — it is a deeply personal day of mourning,” reads the Change.org call to action, with nearly 110,000 signatures (and counting). “The presence of individuals whose words or associations are perceived as conflicting with the solemn purpose of the event risks detracting from that focus and causing additional pain.”Grieving loved ones, including Galante, plan to completely “ignore” Mamdani, who, despite the demands for his absence, has previously vowed to “proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year’s 9/11 commemoration.” Terrorists attacked World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11, claiming the lives of nearly 3,000. APVictims and mourners have vocalized their upset over Mamdani’s plans to attend the memorial Friday. APBut Levy, who was a private-practice attorney at the time of the attack, said the mayor’s participation in the ceremony will be solely self-serving, rather than respectful. “I have such little faith in those governing New York City and New York State,” Levy said, also taking aim at Gov. Kathy Hochul.“Mamdani’s going to do what benefits him, and Hochul is going to do what benefits her. They’re both hypocrites.”Levy went on to blast Hochul, who is seeking a second full term as governor, as a “coward.”“She’s got no business running the State of New York. Zero,” he seethed. “Do people feel safer walking down the street or taking the subway?“They should open up mental health, psychiatric facilities in locations where these government officials live,” he insisted, “rather than letting criminals loose into communities the politicians couldn’t give a damn about.”Levy blasts Mamdani, Hochul and other New York officials for dropping the ball when it comes to protecting and considering locals. Matthew McDermott for NY PostLevy’s heart for do-the-right-thing justice, a quality he inherited from his matter-of-fact mama, Sheindlin, 83, is expressed with equal passion on his upcoming courtroom series, debuting Sept. 14. From the bench, the legal luminary presides over wild cases brought by feuding plaintiffs and defendants, including everything from remorseless romance scammers fleecing their targets out of more than $14,000 to animal lovers defending their pet kangaroos against claims the marsupial bit a neighbor. Levy sent unfriendly fire Hochul’s way over her permissive, “hypocritical” policies. Lev Radin/ShutterstockBut Levy credits 9/11 with forever reshaping the way he handles every case that comes across his desk. “I remember exactly where I was. I’d just arrived at my office in Putnam County, and began preparing for a trial scheduled for that day, when I saw that a plane had hit the first tower,” recalled Levy. “Watching the building go up in flames, then seeing the second tower hit and the building go down. It was surreal.”From that moment, he vowed to use his litigious powers to fight for what’s right, remembering the innocent souls claimed by the al-Qaeda extremists. The judge draws on his mother’s influence, his education and legal prowess, as well as his own 9/11 experiences in each of his court cases.

We need to get back to a space where we’re doing good for one another, remembering that we all share the common goal of living in safety and harmony,” he added.“We need to remember how we all were on September 12, 2001,” said Levy, “and the legitimate love, respect and support we showed those in mourning.”Levy’s “Adam’s Law” airs locally on WCBS-TV Channel 2 weekdays at 3:30 p.m.

Megyn Kelly Calls for Erika Kirk to Step Down Amid Ongoing Grief

Megyn Kelly Calls for Erika Kirk to Step Down Amid Ongoing Grief

One year after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, Megyn Kelly is hopeful that Erika Kirk will reevaluate her position within her late husband’s nonprofit organization, Turning Point USA. “I personally would like to see her take some personal time just so she can remove herself from the nonstop battering ram that is heading up a political organization in the United States of America, and allow herself a year to just work on healing,” Kelly, 55, shared on the Thursday, September 10, episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube. “Helping her kids heal and herself heal. I don't know what she's going to do, but that's my prayer for her.” According to Kelly, it has been “very painful” to watch her “dear friend” suffer and deal with critics in a time of grief. “The overwhelming suffering has been caused by Charlie's murder and not by the internet nonsense, but that's been an added burden on her,” she claimed to host Piers Morgan. “There's no question, and I don't like it. I wish it weren't happening. I wish people would move on and just see the evidence that's there.” Kelly continued, “But I think part of the reason this is happening is because Erika stayed in the public eye as the CEO of Turning Point, and therefore, in some ways, criticism of her is fair game.” While Kelly said the conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie’s death are “all nonsense to me,” the criticisms of Erika's behavior or public appearances are more fair game if she’s the head of a political organization. “People who think that she's not grieving correctly. Look, all I can say, they're entitled to their opinions. I don't share their opinions, but I can't censor their opinions either,” she said. “The way Erika could avoid that is by not being the CEO of Turning Point, and she and I have had many conversations about this together.” Founded in 2012, Turning Point USA is a nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college and university campuses. One goal is “to empower generations of patriots to stand for freedom, defend liberty and win the American culture war.” “I think she feels very strongly that she was the only one who could get the organization through at least the first year,” Kelly said in her latest interview. “And she's done that — miraculously and heroically, she's done that.” Charlie was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. He was 31 years old. Accused killer Tyler Robinson was later arrested and charged with aggravated murder and six other counts. He has pleaded not guilty. Days before the first anniversary of Charlie’s death, Erika, 37, penned a personal op-ed for The New York Times about grief. “I am still learning how to walk through each day carrying the grief I feel for my Charlie. Some days I have a vague understanding of God’s plan, others I don’t, but I trust Him completely,” she wrote via X on Monday, September 7. “He is my only strength. I also know grief can be lonely, and sometimes hearing someone else put words to it makes us feel a little less alone. … Suffering does not get the final word. Only God does.”

Jennifer Lawrence's Bold Instagram Move: Will She Stay or Quit?

Jennifer Lawrence's Bold Instagram Move: Will She Stay or Quit?

Jennifer Lawrence has joined the world of Instagram. “So, yeah, I’m giving it a shot,” Lawrence, 36, began a video shared via the social media platform Thursday, September 10. “If anyone says anything negative, I will quit immediately — no questions asked. If anyone thinks something mean, I’ll know and I’ll quit.” Lawrence shared a follow-up message via her Instagram Stories, writing, “Please be mindful that any mean or aggressive comments can negatively affect the baby. It’s me. I’m the baby.” The Die My Love actress has not shared additional posts on her @jlaw profile yet, noting in her bio that the @jenniferlawrence handle was already taken and she went with her celebrity nickname instead. Lawrence had previously been wary about posting content on social media. “I’m on [Instagram], but I’m a voyeur: I watch, I don’t speak. There is always so much backlash,” she said in a 2018 interview, per Time. “So many people are listening and paying attention, and they have so many opinions about absolutely everything. I really don’t want to welcome that unless it’s absolutely necessary.” She continued, “I don’t want to put myself out there for no reason. Unless I’m promoting something or something really burns my onions, you won’t hear from me.” Lawrence was also opposed to making a profile on X (formerly Twitter). “I will never get Twitter," she claimed during a 2014 interview on BBC Radio 1. “I'm not very good on [on my] phone or [with] technology. I cannot really keep up with emails, so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me. I don't really understand what it is. It's like this weird enigma that people talk about. It's fine, I respect that, but no, I'll never get a Twitter.” Lawrence is especially famously private about her personal life — she shares two children with her husband, Cooke Maroney. “My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that. And then they’re both just, like, out there — walking around, crossing streets,” the Oscar winner told Vogue in 2022 after welcoming her first child, son Cy. “He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car. And I’m just gonna be like, ‘Good night!’ You know? Like, who sleeps?” She added at the time, “The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, Now is day one of my life. I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors.” Lawrence gave birth to baby No. 2 in 2025 but has not publicly shared the child’s name or sex.

Joe Scarborough's Fiery Clash Over Netanyahu's Alleged Warning Ignites Buzz

Joe Scarborough's Fiery Clash Over Netanyahu's Alleged Warning Ignites Buzz

Joe Scarborough erupted at panelist Donny Deutsch during a heated on-air clash over a report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned Hamas was planning a major attack shortly before the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre — at one point demanding, “Do I look stupid to you?”The “Morning Joe” host grew visibly frustrated during the MS NOW broadcast on Wednesday as Deutsch repeatedly stressed Hamas’ responsibility for the slaughter while Scarborough pressed him over the explosive Haaretz report and Netanyahu’s handling of the alleged warning.“Look at me in my eyes,” Scarborough told Deutsch. “Do you think that I’m going to be distracted by you saying what I’ve said a million times?”MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough of “Morning Joe” gestures during a heated argument on Wednesday as his co-host wife Mika Brzezinski (left) looks on. MS NOWScarborough added that he had repeatedly called Hamas terrorists before demanding: “Now, can we talk about Netanyahu, or do you just not want to talk about him?”Deutsch insisted he was not defending the Israeli leader.“I don’t know what went down, and we don’t know,” Deutsch said.“Does that not concern you?” Scarborough shot back. “We ask questions about 9/11. Are you willing to ask questions about Netanyahu?”Scarborough erupted at Donny Deutsch (pictured) during a heated on-air debate over a Haaretz report alleging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a warning ahead of the Oct. 7 attack. MS NOW“I’m willing to answer questions. I’m willing to ask the questions,” Deutsch replied.Scarborough told The Post that he and Deutsch frequently get heated during arguments, though viewers know it’s an animated discussion between two friends.“Donny and I have been great friends for 20 years. We’re both strong supporters of Israel,” Scarborough told The Post.“Look at me in my eyes,” Scarborough told Deutsch during the tense exchange. MS NOW“We just had a disagreement today on whether we should talk about the Haaretz report and talk about what Netanyahu’s responsibility was in it,” he added.Scarborough said Deutsch “felt like any criticisms of Netanyahu would somehow overshadow the fact that October 7th was Hamas’s fault.“We all have said for years that Hamas are terrorists, that they want to kill Jews, that they want to destroy the state of Israel, and that they are an evil force in the region,” Scarborough told The Post.Scarborough rejected any suggestion that the blowup reflected a personal rift between the longtime pals.“We’re great friends, and we’ve done that before, and I don’t think we’d talk that way with somebody that we weren’t so comfortable with,” he said.“He cares passionately about the issue. I care passionately about the issue.”Scarborough also made clear that he remains opposed to Netanyahu staying in power.“I don’t think Benjamin Netanyahu running Israel for another three, four, five years is in the country’s best interest,” he told The Post.The Haaretz investigation published Monday alleged UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu in a 45-minute phone call roughly a week and a half before Oct. 7, 2023 that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was preparing a major operation against Israel.Deutsch insisted, “I’m not here to defend Bibi Netanyahu,” as Scarborough challenged him over the Israeli leader. MS NOWHaaretz reported that three senior foreign sources were familiar with the contents of the alleged conversation. It took place after bin Zayed received information that Sinwar had warned he was preparing a “zilzal,” Arabic for “earthquake,” according to the outlet.Netanyahu has flatly denied the report, calling it an “absolute lie.”“Prime Minister Netanyahu didn’t speak to the president of the UAE during the period in question and received no warning from him,” his office said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has flatly denied Haaretz’s report that he received a warning from the UAE president shortly before Oct. 7, 2023.

Lone Juror's Shocking Act in Lindsay Clancy Trial Leaves Others Speechless

Lone Juror's Shocking Act in Lindsay Clancy Trial Leaves Others Speechless

A male juror in the mistrial of Lindsay Clancy said the lone holdout on the 12-person panel wrapped one of the exercise bands the mom used to kill her children around a water bottle to mimic their strangulation in the deliberation room.Juror number 10 Nick Dargie said the holdout had every right to his opinion but that the reenactment using the same exercise bands left the room speechless.“I was so shocked. We’re not here to play detective – it’s not a game of Clue. This is serious,” Dargie, 25, the fifth juror to come forward in the macabre case out of Duxbury, Mass., told ABC’s “GMA” in an interview that aired Thursday morning.Nick Dargie is one of the three male jurors on the Lindsay Clancy trial.

That’s a band that was used to strangle a child. That’s disgusting.”He also accused the still-unnamed holdout, who hung the jury in an 11-1 deadlock leading to the mistrial, of seeming disengaged during the deliberations, saying he would frequently be scrolling his phone while people were talking to him.When pressed to explain his refusal to budge, Dargie said he made no effort to explain his reasoning.“There wasn’t a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was,” the juror said.Juror number 10, Nick Dargie, said the holdout had every right to his opinion but that the reenactment using the same exercise bands left the room speechless. ABC News“Otherwise, like there’s nothing wrong with somebody having a completely opposite opinion … that would be a hung jury.

There was not a single moment throughout the presentation of that case where you could say ‘Yup, 100% I’m certain she did it’ or that she didn’t do it. There was too much gray area.”Clancy, 36, remains in a state-run psychiatric facility, Tewksbury Hospital. Her next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29.
