Actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/tom-arnold-gets-angry-news-congressional-shooter-hank-berrien/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Arnold</a> said that he warned the late actor and comedian Chris Farley about his drug use — especially coupled with his weight — staging an intervention and telling him at one point, &#8220;You can&#8217;t be super fat and do drugs.&#8221;
Arnold, who was himself well-acquainted with the ups and downs of addiction, was <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/05/tom-arnold-issued-a-stark-warning-to-chris-farley-before-his-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Farley&#8217;s</a> sober sponsor at one point — and he made the comments during an interview that was published Sunday on entertainment site Page Six.
&#8220;I told him early on, ‘You can’t be super fat and do drugs, that’s death. You’ve got to make a choice. It’s best you don’t do either but you cannot do both,'&#8221; Arnold recalled.
He described one time that Farley had come to visit him in Los Angeles, staying at his home — and when it was getting to be time for him to leave, he and a few others staged an intervention and begged the &#8220;Black Sheep&#8221; star to get help.
&#8220;He sits down and we tell him how much we love him and we want him to go to this rehab, it’s all set up,&#8221; Arnold said, flanked by fellow actor Rob Lowe and one of Farley&#8217;s brothers. &#8220;And he’s like, ‘I’m gonna do this but I need to run back to New York just to grab some stuff,’ and that means, go back to New York to get some more heroin.&#8221;
It was not until a therapist informed Farley that he would get drugs in rehab – to avoid seizures while his body was in detox — that he finally agreed to go. In total, Arnold said, Farley entered rehab more than a dozen times.
When Farley died in 1997 at just 33 years old, his death was attributed to an overdose of cocaine and morphine — but a buildup of fats and cholesterol known as advanced atherosclerosis was also listed on the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1998/01/03/chris-farley-died-of-drug-overdose/3706d464-bd7b-4d2e-a889-8be618e18293/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autopsy report</a> as a factor in his early passing.
&#8220;He did his best, it’s terribly sad. He had a lot of conflict with his Catholic religion. He really showed up in church all the time — and then being what he considered being a bad Catholic,&#8221; Arnold added.

Disney has gone for woke yet again with a recent episode of the cartoon series &#8220;Proud Family&#8221; — which featured kids singing a song about reparations that America &#8220;owes&#8221; to black Americans and about how &#8220;slaves built this country.&#8221;
The recent episode that aired on Disney+, titled &#8220;Louder and Prouder,&#8221; reviews the history of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-harris-use-juneteenth-federal-holiday-signing-to-imply-america-is-still-systemically-racist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juneteenth</a> when the kids discover their town&#8217;s founder was a slave-owner. The song opens with the line, &#8220;This country was built on slavery — which means slaves built this country&#8221; — and that line was repeated over and over throughout.

&#8220;We the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their suffering,&#8221; the song continued. &#8220;And continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in a systemic prejudice, racism and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for.&#8221;
In the cartoon, that last line was punctuated by four black students glaring while the only white student on the stage with them held a sign that read &#8220;still has not atoned for.&#8221;
&#8220;Slaves built this country,&#8221; they shouted again, claiming, &#8220;We made your families rich,&#8221; as they listed plantation owners, northern bankers, New England ship-owners, the Founding Fathers, and current senators among those who had profited on the backs of slaves.
The cartoon even included the debunked &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/dc-art-competition-winner-reinforces-hands-dont-frank-camp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hands up, don&#8217;t shoot</a>&#8221; claim that originated after the Michael Brown shooting in <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sitting-members-of-congress-and-more-commemorate-ferguson-police-shooting-by-lying-about-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ferguson, Missouri</a>.

Actress <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/reese-witherspoon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a> revealed during a recent interview that she had once &#8220;bricked&#8221; an audition with Academy Award winner <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-de-niro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert De Niro</a> — and to make matters worse, when he saw her again a decade later, he remembered it.
Witherspoon joined the Thursday evening broadcast of &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; and she explained to the host that it was one of the first auditions she had ever done as a teenager — for a movie called &#8220;Cape Fear&#8221; with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/real-life-grinch-tries-to-steal-all-the-presents-from-under-robert-de-niros-tree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">De Niro</a> and director Martin Scorcese.

The &#8220;Sweet Home Alabama&#8221; star explained that 1991 she had been just 14 years old — and prior to the audition, she hadn&#8217;t really known who De Niro was. When a helpful receptionist clued her in on just how big the &#8220;Goodfellas&#8221; star really was, Witherspoon said she got so nervous that she totally blew it.
&#8220;One of the very first auditions I ever had was with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese for a movie called &#8216;Cape Fear.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t get it. I&#8217;m not in that movie because I got so scared when I walked in the room,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know who Robert De Niro was, so I was standing outside talking to the receptionist. She was like, &#8216;You know he&#8217;s the most important actor of our time, right?'&#8221;

But that was only the beginning of Witherspoon&#8217;s story — she said that she went to audition for De Niro again about a decade later, and despite her hopes that he might have forgotten about the last time, he had not.&#8221;I thought, &#8216;He&#8217;s never gonna remember that I bricked that audition,'&#8221; Witherspoon said. &#8220;And he was like, &#8216;I remember you.&#8217; I was like, &#8216;Me?&#8217; He&#8217;s like, &#8216;Oh yeah. You&#8217;re the one who couldn&#8217;t say the word.'&#8221;

Former New York Yankees slugger <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/derek-jeter-enters-the-baseball-hall-of-fame/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Derek Jeter</a> admitted on Wednesday that he had once worn a gold thong in the hopes of snapping a month-long hitting slump.
The Hall-of-Famer <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/sports/derek-jeter-admits-he-wore-a-gold-thong-to-help-break-hitting-slump-in-2004/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made the confession</a> during an appearance on &#8220;The Tonight Show,&#8221; telling host Jimmy Fallon and singer Rita Ora that his 32-game slump in 2004 had been so bad that he finally tried the good-luck charm recommended by his teammate, first baseman Jason Giambi.

Derek Jeter shared the story how he wore a teammate&#39;s (Jason Giambi) gold thong to break out of his 0-for-32 slump back in 2004 🤣

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After Fallon introduced the game that Jeter and Ora would be playing — &#8220;True Confessions&#8221; — the former shortstop came clean: &#8220;I once wore a thong in public in front of thousands of people.&#8221;
Both Fallon and Ora found the statement difficult to believe — but then Jeter went on to explain exactly how it had come about.
&#8220;It is the truth,&#8221; Jeter insisted, adding, &#8220;I’m going to ultimately regret playing this game, but let me explain. I had a new teammate that I played with in 2002, and he always had a gold thong hanging from his locker. And he told me ‘anytime you struggle, you wear the gold thong, you’re guaranteed to get a hit.’”
Jeter said that he initially thought Giambi was a little crazy — but when the 2004 slump hit, every day he walked into the locker room, Giambi would point at the thing — which he kept hanging in his locker at all times.
After 32 games without a hit, Jeter said he&#8217;d been willing to try just about anything: &#8220;So finally, I wore the thong. Now it wasn’t thong to skin; I had shorts on underneath, so I put the thong over the shorts: first pitch, home run.&#8221;
Giambi <a href="https://www.nj.com/yankees/2015/10/remember_when_yankees_legend_derek_jeter_wore_the.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed Jeter&#8217;s story</a> during a 2015 appearance with ESPN&#8217;s Dan Le Batard, saying that he wasn&#8217;t entirely sure whether Jeter had asked for the thong or someone had put it into his locker prior to the April 29 game.
&#8220;The golden thong is legendary. It’s never not gotten a hit. It was his first slump. I don’t think the guy’s ever slumped in his career. He’s unbelievable. You know, the gold thong, he had to get out of it,&#8221; Giambi explained.

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) made it clear that he had no patience left for anyone who attempted to make every issue into a divide along racial lines.
Hunt delivered his remarks during Wednesday&#8217;s hearing on <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/terror-watch-list-arrests-at-southern-border-soar-under-biden-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border security</a>, taking particular issue with President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration for labeling Republicans as &#8220;racists&#8221; because they objected to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/desantis-shreds-biden-over-bidens-border-crisis-this-is-an-intentional-policy-rooted-in-an-open-borders-ideology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open border policies</a>.
&#8220;Last time I checked, I’ve been black for a long time. I’ve been a minority for a long time,&#8221; Hunt tweeted along with a clip of his remarks. &#8220;Am I racist for calling what’s happening at the southern border, an invasion? No. I’m a Congressman who is tired of this administration using racism as a scapegoat for everything.&#8221;

&#8220;This is actually not about race. This is an issue on public safety,&#8221; Hunt said, adding that his concerns about the amount of deadly fentanyl that was crossing the southern border had nothing to do with race.
&#8220;Fentanyl doesn&#8217;t care where you&#8217;re from,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Fentanyl doesn&#8217;t care about race. Fentanyl kills indiscriminately.&#8221;
Hunt then pivoted to address how <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/migrant-tsunami-will-worsen-due-to-title-42-rollback-former-trump-and-biden-border-patrol-chief-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border policies</a> had changed since Biden had taken office — conceding first that there had been problems prior to Biden&#8217;s arrival but then pointing out how much worse the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border had become under his watch.
Part of the problem, he explained, was the Biden administration&#8217;s penchant for using race &#8220;as a scapegoat for everything.&#8221;
&#8220;As somebody that wants to make sure that we do attack racist issues when they do occur, we can&#8217;t be the boy who cried wolf and blame racism all the time,&#8221; Hunt added. &#8220;I am here to hold this administration accountable to understand that there are issues of race that need to be addressed — and sir, this ain&#8217;t one of them.&#8221;
Hunt expounded on the topic further during a Thursday appearance on Fox News.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie guard <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/eagles-lineman-indicted-for-rape-kidnapping-just-days-ahead-of-super-bowl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Sills</a> has been placed on the NFL&#8217;s Commissioner Exempt List following his indictment earlier this week on two felony charges — rape and kidnapping — and new details about the alleged incident have emerged as well.
Sills&#8217; will remain on that list &#8211; which bars him from playing, practicing, or traveling with the team — until the league conducts a thorough review of the situation in light of the league&#8217;s rules regarding personal conduct. With the Eagles headed to the Super Bowl in just ten days, it seems unlikely that Sills will be taken off the list in time to make the trip.
According to a <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/01/eagles-ol-josh-sills-allegedly-forced-woman-to-perform-oral-sex-in-truck/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published by TMZ Sports, Sills allegedly restrained a woman in his truck in early December of 2019, forcing her to perform oral sex on him after he gave her and a cousin a ride home from a nearby restaurant.
According to the police report, which TMZ obtained, the unnamed woman stated that Sills had driven her and a cousin home — and after her cousin got out of the truck and entered the house, she alleged that Sills grabbed her and pulled her back into the truck. Her statement said the cousin &#8220;did not think anything of it and shut the door and walked into the house.&#8221;
The woman then claimed that Sills had tried to kiss her, grabbing her by the neck and throwing her down on the seat. He allegedly continued to grope her while she fought back and told him &#8220;no&#8221; a number of times.
She said that Sills had pulled her down in his lap then, telling her that &#8220;she was doing this and was not leaving until she did this&#8221; — and allegedly forced her to perform oral sex for about 20 minutes. The police report noted that the woman had a number of injuries following the alleged assault — bruising at the back of her throat and on her inner lip, on her right ear and on the back of her left knee — and that they had taken photos to document everything at the time the report was made.
Sills was indicted on felony rape and kidnapping charges and has been ordered to appear in court on February 16.
<a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/02/eagles-josh-sills-forced-woman-to-give-him-oral-sex-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meanwhile</a>, the Philadelphia Eagles issued a statement addressing the issue: &#8220;The organization is aware of the legal matter involving Josh Sills. We have been in communication with the league office and are in the process of gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time.&#8221;

During the latest broadcast of the ABC midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; Goldberg argued that it would be &#8220;more patriotic&#8221; to address issues like &#8220;police violence&#8221; — and Hostin claimed that the pledge itself did not even &#8220;apply to a lot of our citizens.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Goldberg weighed in first, saying, &#8220;This is the Judiciary Committee, right, so wouldn&#8217;t it be a better show of patriotism to be working on issues like police violence, mass shootings, prison reform?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, people, I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s gonna take for them to recognize that people don&#8217;t — they&#8217;re not — we&#8217;re not fooling around, and people in the United States are not fooling around,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;You wasted everybody&#8217;s time suggesting your people do what they already do. What is this waste of time?&#8221;
She went on to preemptively attack Fox News, claiming that instead of &#8220;doing their job,&#8221; they would probably attack her for doing hers: giving her opinion. She argued that is what is great about America — the fact that each person could still freely give an opinion and it didn&#8217;t matter whether anyone else liked it.
Hostin jumped in next, claiming that her problem with the whole situation was the &#8220;hypocrisy&#8221; of it all – and then cited an African American history course she took in college that disabused her of the belief in &#8220;American exceptionalism.&#8221;

Claiming that the Pledge of Allegiance &#8220;doesn&#8217;t apply to a lot of our citizens,&#8221; Hostin complained that America also &#8220;hasn&#8217;t met the dream of being exceptional. It hasn&#8217;t meant this dream of being a beacon on the hill.&#8221;
Hostin went on to note that the Supreme Court had ruled that people could not be forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but said that wasn&#8217;t enough for her. Instead, she argued that schools should stop teaching the idea of American exceptionalism until the country had &#8220;met the promise&#8221; of what it could be.
Goldberg jumped back in then, complaining that America was supposed to be a place where people could &#8220;call out&#8221; the &#8220;isms&#8221; instead of allowing things like racism to persist — and claiming that people were becoming less free to do that.

&#8220;You told Megyn Kelly, &#8216;You know what you’re getting into when you go to a hotel room alone.&#8217; Do you feel like that was a healthy thought to introduce into the dialogue at that point?&#8221; Farrow asked.
&#8220;I could even take it a step further,&#8221; was Anderson&#8217;s reply. &#8220;My mother would tell me — and I think this is the kind of feminism I grew up with — it takes two to tango &#8230; &#8216;If someone answers the door in a hotel robe and you’re going for an interview, don’t go in. But if you do go in, get the job.'&#8221;
&#8220;That’s a horrible thing to say but that’s how I was,&#8221; Anderson conceded, but went on to say that her own sense of self-worth had helped her to respond to situations differently than some other younger women in Hollywood might have.
&#8220;But I think a lot of people don’t have that or they weren’t taught that,&#8221; Anderson continued, saying that she was thankful for the #MeToo movement because she believed that it really had changed the dynamic.
Anderson had initially <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/01/pamela-anderson-doubles-down-on-controversial-metoo-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked backlash</a>, as Farrow mentioned, after a 2017 interview with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly when she suggested that women should know better than to go alone to an audition in a hotel room.
&#8220;When I came to Hollywood, of course I had a lot of offers to do private auditions and things that made absolutely no sense,&#8221; Anderson told Kelly. “[It’s] just common sense: Don’t go into a hotel room alone. If someone answers the door in a bathrobe, you know, leave.&#8221;
The former Playboy playmate told Kelly that surviving sexual assault as a child may have been what made it easier for her to recognize the red flags — and had taught her never to put herself in that kind of situation again.

Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/keanu-reeves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keanu Reeves</a> has filed for an order of protection after an alleged stalker claimed that they were related by blood.
According to a <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/01/keanu-reeves-alleged-stalker-thinks-blood-related-restraining-order/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from entertainment site TMZ, Reeves&#8217; attorney, Matthew Rosengart, filed paperwork on Tuesday stating that the alleged stalker — a 38-year-old man named Bryan Dixon — has been harassing Reeves and his partner, Alexandra Grant, for months.
Dixon, who Reeves says is a transient, has repeatedly attempted to convince the &#8220;Speed&#8221; star that they are somehow related — even reportedly leaving behind a DNA test kit in an effort to prove it.
According to the court documents TMZ reviewed, Dixon has allegedly trespassed on Reeves’ property at least six times since November — including one incident on November 5 when Dixon reportedly managed to sneak onto the property and then fall asleep.
He was removed from the property only to return the following day, at which point Reeves claims he left behind a backpack containing the DNA kit.
Dixon has also reportedly used the surname “Reeves” in a number of social media posts, claiming that he has signed his own rights over to the “Matrix” actor — despite the fact that Reeves says they don’t know each other and never interacted prior to the alleged harassment.
Reeves’ lawyers looked into Dixon’s criminal history as well — they say his rap sheet is of considerable length and includes an active Rhode Island bench warrant for breaking and entering “with felonious intent.”
The documents state that Dixon attempted to breach the property as recently as January 20, and that police have gotten involved to help resolve the situation.
As for the restraining order, the judge agreed that Dixon could potentially be a threat and granted the order: Dixon cannot come within 100 yards of either Reeves or Grant.
It’s not the pair’s first time to court over this sort of thing, either. Grant <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2550663/keanu-reeves-girlfriend-alexandra-grant-asks-for-restraining-order-from-actors-stalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> for a protection order in 2020 against a female stalker who was reportedly obsessed with Reeves and his career before turning her attention to Grant.

An employee at New York&#8217;s Row NYC hotel spoke out on Tuesday about how the illegal immigrants who have been placed there have caused &#8220;total chaos,&#8221; brought in drugs, and trashed the rooms that taxpayers are funding.
Felipe Rodriguez <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nyc-hotel-worker-calls-out-city-migrants-destroy-rooms-disrespect-employees-no-accountability" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described to Fox News the scene</a> at Row NYC — which is &#8220;<a href="https://www.rownyc.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">closed until further notice</a>&#8221; as it is being used to house illegal immigrants who have been dropped off in New York — telling &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; that the city was supposed to be running the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-to-spend-86-million-on-hotel-rooms-for-migrants-amid-border-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">housing program</a> but that no one was providing any real supervision or direction.
&#8220;Chaos, total chaos,&#8221; he said of the hotel. &#8220;There&#8217;s no accountability. The city&#8217;s so-called running the program [and] allows these people to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/luxury-nyc-hotel-worker-disability-injury-migrants-trashing-rooms-mess" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destroy these rooms</a>. There is no daily supervision to show these people that … you don&#8217;t destroy your hotel. You are only there temporarily. This is not your home.&#8221;
&#8220;Unfortunately, the ones that are paying the price is the hotel workers, Local 6 union workers,&#8221; Rodriguez added. &#8220;Those guys and those ladies endure a lot of disrespect from the migrants, and there [are] some nice migrants, but there&#8217;s too much alcohol, too much drugs and too much violence, and you have teenagers … going into the staircases and making out like it&#8217;s lovers lane … This is a free-for-all.&#8221;
Rodriguez himself had to be placed on disability after he was injured while attempting to deliver a refrigerator to an already-cluttered room at the hotel.
To make the situation even more toxic, Rodriguez claimed that hotel management was not terribly interested in fixing the problem — mainly because the government was paying them more to house migrants than they would bring in from regular guests.
&#8220;Their self-entitlement is beyond belief. They believe that … the hotel is theirs, and they&#8217;re going to do what will what they want, and our general manager really [doesn&#8217;t] care about any of the workers&#8217; toxic conditions or hostile conditions. All he cares about is the money. They wanted more money, so it&#8217;s easy money from the city,&#8221; he said.
Another hotel, the Watson — which has also &#8220;<a href="https://thewatsonhotelny.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended operations until further notice</a>&#8221; — has been the focus of a protest after a number of male migrants were instructed to move from the hotel to a shelter.
Claiming that the accommodations at the shelter were &#8220;subpar,&#8221; a number of the migrants opted instead to camp out on the street in front of the Watson in protest.

Actor Ashton Kutcher just recently revealed that he gave up marijuana years ago – and he explained the reason why.
Kutcher spoke to Esquire for an <a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a42698761/ashton-kutcher-your-place-or-mine-interview-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> that was published on Tuesday, and he said that a bad experience with an edible — while at a friend&#8217;s wedding in Italy — had turned him off the drug forever.
The &#8220;Dude, Where&#8217;s My Car?&#8221; actor explained that while he had indulged some in his younger years — primarily alcohol and marijuana — he quickly added, &#8220;I haven’t done a drug in ten years.&#8221;
&#8220;That s*** did not go well,&#8221; he said of the experience in Italy. He explained that at the time he had only recently had a vasectomy, and once the high from the edible took hold, he was convinced that he had lost all feeling below his waist.
His wife, &#8220;That 70&#8217;s Show&#8221; costar <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-am-wearing-childrens-underwear-for-you-mila-kunis-scolds-jimmy-kimmels-audience-for-booing-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mila Kunis</a>, tried to convince him otherwise but to no avail. Later, in their hotel room — which Kunis had to help him find because he had forgotten where it was — he became convinced that they were going broke. At that point he complained to Kunis, &#8220;We can’t even afford to be here right now!&#8221;
&#8220;The next day, I realized I had moved the decimal point,&#8221; Kutcher said, explaining that his financial panic had been the unfortunate result of attempting arithmetic while still high.
&#8220;The minute weed became legal in California, I got banned from doing it,&#8221; he said.
Kutcher also revealed in the same interview that despite many attempts to keep his personal life as private as possible, he and his family were thrust into the spotlight in 2019 when ex-wife Demi Moore <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ashton-kutcher-said-he-was-fing-pissed-when-demi-moores-memoir-came-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published her memoir</a>.
&#8220;I was f***ing pissed,&#8221; he said of &#8220;Inside Out&#8221; hitting bookshelves that year. &#8220;I’d finally gotten to a place where the press had really laid off me and Mila [Kunis], and my life and my family &#8230; And then the next day, [the paparazzi] are at my kids’ school.&#8221;
Kutcher made it clear that he did not blame Moore for it, however, adding, &#8220;I don’t want to open anything up in that realm.&#8221;

<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/new-yorkers-mad-after-empire-state-building-honors-philadelphia-eagles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> offensive lineman Josh Sills was indicted on rape and kidnapping charges with less than two weeks to go before he was scheduled to play in Super Bowl LVII against the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/bengals-qb-had-a-four-word-message-for-chiefs-mahomes-after-sundays-brutal-battle/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.

And count two: &#8220;Joshua Matthew Sills, on or about the 5th day of December, 2019, in the county of Guernsey aforesaid, did, by force threat, or deception, remove M.M. from the place where she was found or restrain the liberty of her for the purpose of facilitating the commission of a felony, to wit: Rape, O.R.C 2907.02 or flight thereafter in violation of Ohio Revised Code §2905.01(C)(1), kidnapping, a felony of the first degree.&#8221;
A grand jury <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/eagles-josh-sills-indicted-rape-kidnapping-charges-ohio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicted Sills</a> earlier this week and the case will be handled by the Special Prosecutions Section of the Attorney General’s Office.
Sills was ordered to appear at the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court at 1 p.m. on Feb. 16.
The rookie offensive lineman came to the Eagles for the 2022 season as an undrafted free agent, and he played in one regular season game — appearing in just four snaps on special teams for the Eagles in game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Ohio native previously played college football for Oklahoma State University.
