Meghan and Harry get chased by paparazzi in New York

Meghan and Harry left an event in New York City on Tuesday night and experienced quite a scare.

The couple claims to have been chased by aggressive paparazzi for two hours and is very upset about the situation. According to their security team, about 12 cars, scooters, and bicycles were chasing them around town. Some were even running red lights.

The New York Police Department called the incident “controlled.” Despite the couple’s dramatic claims, there were no accidents, injuries or arrests, and the chase did not last two hours.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly avoided the paparazzi all evening and entered the event through secret doors.

According to the New York Post, the couple’s security guards were reportedly defiant toward photographers. In addition, they acted mockingly from the beginning of the evening, which did not help their case.

The photographers also claimed that the security guards’ cars were driven unsafely. They wanted to avoid the paparazzi knowing where the couple was sleeping in the city…

They reportedly drove in a circle for about an hour in a neighbourhood near Central Park, and the couple even got into a cab to try to mix it up. The couple finally exited the cab and decided to walk to their destination. They reportedly arrived home around midnight.

Several journalists and celebrities commented on the situation, saying that a 2-hour chase in New York City is impossible and that the couple acted severely.

What do you think about it?

Dwayne Johnson addresses his depression and divorce

wayne Johnson was on the Pivot podcast on the YouTube platform.

He opened up about his fragile mental health and the depression he suffered in Miami after a shoulder injury that impacted his former soccer career.

He didn’t want to go to school anymore and was ready to leave for college. So he left in the middle of the session. The Rock didn’t know it was depression because he didn’t know about mental health issues, and the boys didn’t talk about it.

The depression came back when he got divorced a few years later, but again, he didn’t know what it was.
Fortunately, when he got depressed again in 2017, he knew it was depression and had a lot of support from his friends when he needed to talk.
According to him, part of what saved him was his three children: Tiana, 5, Jasmine, seven and Simone, 21.
Johnson, who lost two friends to suicide, encourages people to discuss their problems and find help when needed.
“Having the courage to talk to someone is your superpower. No matter how you think you feel, you are never alone,” Dwayne Johnson further expressed himself in an Instagram post promoting his appearance on the podcast in question.

Toxic, the “Kelly Clarkson Show”?

Instagram Kelly Clarkson

The Kelly Clarkson Show, a popular talk show that airs on NBC during the day, among others, has been accused of being a toxic work environment.

1 employee and 10 former employees told Rolling Stone that they were bullied and harassed by producers to the point of tears and illness. However, they all agreed that Kelly Clarkson was not aware of how they were treated by the production and that the star is actually very nice.

They also said that they were paid unfairly, had to work far too many hours and were completely traumatized by their overall experience.

Following these accusations, Kelly Clarkson wanted to answer them.

The singer and host would like her set to be a safe and non-toxic environment for everyone.

Moreover, the studio will move from Los Angeles to New York soon!

An episode that reminds us of the one involving Ellen DeGeneres and her show, even if in this case, Ellen was directly implicated, which is obviously not the case with Clarkson.
