The public is reacting to Sean “Diddy” Combs being found not guilty of the more serious charges against him and only being found guilty of violating the Mann Act.
Many commentators agree that while Combs didn’t get off scot-free, he did escape a life sentence, which was a possibility if he’d been found guilty of all charges.
“This is f***ng ridiculous,” journalist Megyn Kelly <a href="https://www.megynkelly.com/2025/07/02/megyn-kelly-reacts-to-shock-verdict-in-sean-diddy-combs-trial/">said</a>, reacting to what transpired in the courtroom. “I just find it absolutely outrageous the amount of crime that this guy just got away with.”
She went on, “I believe he committed arson. He definitely battered [ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura]. He battered Jane, too. The statute of limitations for battery in Los Angeles, California, is one year. So if they didn&#8217;t charge him for battery within one year, and they couldn&#8217;t, because he bought the tape and it remained hidden thanks to those security guards out there, then they could never charge him with that again.”
“He was a famous man, and they didn&#8217;t want to find him guilty,” Kelly said at another point, adding that she plans to make it her “personal mission” to “maintain his humiliation in the minds of all Americans.” 
Actress Rosie O’Donnell also weighed in on the situation, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLm-n2ZpnzG/">writing</a> on Instagram, &#8220;i guess a jury just never wants to believe that a woman stays because of power and coercion—wow—they just think women stay because what? money—fame—‘they love the abuse&#8217; &#8211; what a f***ing joke. this decision got me angry.&#8221;
Rapper 50 Cent, who has been openly critical of Diddy throughout the trial, also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLm_dgduIbQ/">posted</a> on Instagram about the verdict. &#8220;Diddy beat the Rico, that boy a bad man !&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;he like the Gay John Gotti.&#8221;
Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, also shared a statement: &#8220;This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023. Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution. By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/cassie-venturas-lawyer-releases-statement-diddy-split-verdict-123351258">wrote</a>, per Good Morning America.
He went on, &#8220;We must repeat – with no reservation – that we believe and support our client who showed exemplary courage throughout this trial. She displayed unquestionable strength and brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion. This case proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors.&#8221;
According to some <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/cnn-reports-people-are-pouring-baby-oil-on-each-other-outside-diddy-courtroom-and-chanting-its-not-rico-its-freak-o/">reports</a>, people outside the courthouse reacted to the “not guilty” verdict by pouring baby oil on themselves in celebration. This was a reference to the vast amounts of baby oil reportedly recovered from Combs’ residence, which was used during his infamous “freak off” sex parties.

Sex Crimes

A Manhattan jury on Wednesday delivered a mixed verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial, acquitting him of the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
Jurors found Combs, 55, guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
Ultimately, Combs was found guilty on count three, the Mann Act Transportation of his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, and on count five, the Mann Act Transportation of his former girlfriend, Jane. 
During the weeks-long trial, prosecutors accused Combs of using his wealth and fame to coerce ex-girlfriends into drug‑fueled marathons of sexual exploitation known as “freak‑offs.” 
In November 2023, Ventura filed a civil lawsuit accusing Combs of rape, repeated physical abuse, and years of abuse. The lawsuit was settled within 24 hours, but it was followed by a series of additional civil complaints from other alleged victims with similar complaints.
Next, federal authorities launched a criminal investigation into the rap mogul. In March 2024, federal agents raided Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a federal sex trafficking probe.
The raids resulted in Diddy being charged with sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution, and racketeering. 
The trial began in June in Manhattan federal court. The rapper pleaded not guilty to all charges.
While the rapper’s legal team painted him as a “complicated” man with an unorthodox but fully consensual sex life, prosecutors wasted no time sharing some sordid details from sexual encounters they say were coerced, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddy-trial-defense-admits-hes-complicated-but-domestic-violence-is-not-sex-trafficking?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Diddy+Trial%3A+Defense+Admits+He%E2%80%99s+%E2%80%98Complicated%2C%E2%80%99+But+%E2%80%98Domestic+Violence+Is+Not+Sex+Trafficking%E2%80%99">reported</a>.
“He called himself the king, and he expected to be treated like one,” she said as a reference to the viral hotel surveillance footage showing him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and “flinging her around like a rag doll.”
The prosecutor also went into detail about one specific incident which allegedly occurred at the rapper’s notorious “freak-off” parties. Johnson alleged that a male prostitute was instructed to urinate in Ventura’s mouth, which led to her saying she “felt like she was choking.”
<div class="ad-wrapper" data-testid="ad-wrapper">A security card testified that Combs paid him a bribe to destroy the security footage of him assaulting Ventura.</div>
Johnson said Combs was able to get away with it for so long thanks to his “inner circle and vast resources of his business empire.”
Additional civil litigation remains active, and sentencing on the federal convictions is expected later this year. Combs has not commented publicly since the verdict was released this morning.

On July 4th, the movie “Sinners” will become the first show to be interpreted into “Black American Sign Language (BASL),” per a <a href="https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/max/sinners-black-american-sign-language-basl-debuts-july-4-us-max">press release</a> from Warner Bros.
The entertainment company described it as “a major step forward in accessibility, representation, and visibility in streaming.”
“BASL is a distinct dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) with its own dynamic history and unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions, and cultural nuances,” the release stated. “For the first time, the Black Deaf community will have streaming access to a more immersive experience in their language. Max subscribers, who sign in ASL but are unfamiliar with this dialect, will also be able to follow along with this interpretation.”
The press release noted that the interpretation will be done by Nakia Smith, “an influential voice in the Black Deaf community, who delivers a powerful interpretation with cultural depth and linguistic richness that aligns with the film’s themes and historical timeline.” 
“Accessibility within streaming is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our goal at Max is to make these great stories accessible to all audiences in a way that is authentic to the content and the communities we serve,” Naomi Waibel, Senior VP of Global Product Management at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement. “Sinners with Black American Sign Language is an example of how culturally nuanced access can enrich the viewing experience for our audiences.”
According to the movie’s summary, “Sinners” is about twin brothers who “return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.” It was released in theaters in April 2025.

Notorious leftist Rosie O’Donnell, who recently left the country due to Trump being elected president, is coming after Oprah for attending the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
The comedian stated her complaints as part of an Instagram post. “The Bezos’ wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it,” O’Donnell wrote in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLhtUlDMJ-O/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram post</a> caption on Monday.
“Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife who looks like that… Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie [Scott]? Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests.”
Her comments were made after widespread backlash to the over-the-top nuptials in Venice, Italy, over the weekend. Besides just Oprah and her best friend Gayle King, the guest list included plenty of A-list celebrities such as the whole Kardashian clan, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tommy Hilfiger, Usher, Sydney Sweeney, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Bill Gates, and others.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
Actress Charlize Theron also made public comments about the wedding during an event over the weekend. “I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” Theron quipped while on stage, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/charlize-theron-slams-everyone-who-went-to-jeff-bezos-wedding-they-suck-and-were-cool?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Charlize+Theron+Slams+Everyone+Who+Went+To+Jeff+Bezos%E2%80%99+Wedding%3A+%E2%80%98They+Suck+And+We%E2%80%99re+Cool%E2%80%99">reported</a>. “But that’s okay, because they suck and we’re cool.”
According to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/28/europe/jeff-bezos-wedding-protest-venice-latam-intl">CNN</a>, hundreds of protesters gathered in Venice to protest the wedding of the billionaire Amazon CEO.
“Bezos goes hand-in-hand with Trump, who’s fueling more money in war,” one protester reportedly yelled. “We are for peace.”
“[Bezos] has such a lot of power, and now he’s abusing this city as a place to show off. So, he’s not welcome here,” another person echoed.

Charlize Theron went off on Amazon founder Jeff Bezos&#8217;s over-the-top wedding to Lauren Sanchez Saturday, before switching gears to rant about politics.
The 49-year-old actress made the remarks while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday.
“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” Theron quipped while on stage, per <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/06/29/celebrity-news/charlize-theron-rips-into-jeff-bezos-and-lauren-sanchezs-50m-wedding/">Page Six</a>. “But that’s okay, because they suck and we’re cool.”
The “Monster” actress voiced more of her opinions, thanking attendees for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.”
“Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we’re moving backwards fast,” Theron said. “Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women’s rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise.”
“This isn’t just policy, it’s personal,” she added. Theron also reacted to the applause for her comments, saying, “Yeah, f*** them.”

Theron, whose adopted son identifies as a girl, expressed her unequivocal support for drag queens in 2023.
“We love you queens! We’re in your corner, and we’ve got you, and I will f*** anybody up who is, like, trying to f*** with anything with you guys,” the “Mad Max” star said at the time.
“In all seriousness, there are so many things that are hurting and, really, killing our kids, right, and we all know what I’m talking about right now,” Theron went on, adding that drag was virtuous and made viewers “better” for watching it.
“If you’ve ever seen a drag queen lip sync for her life, it only makes you happier, it only makes you love more. It makes you a better person,” Theron said. “F***, if I could do a death drop right now I would, but I would probably like, break my hip,” she added.
Theron is not the only Hollywood star to criticize Bezos and Sanchez&#8217;s $50-million Venice wedding. Rosie O&#8217;Donnell <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/30/celebs-mocking-jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-wedding-charlize-theron-rosie-odonnel/">said</a> &#8220;it turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all,&#8221; calling Sanchez a &#8220;fake fem bot.&#8221; Mia Farrow, Katie Couric, and Olivia Munn all also took to social media to make snide comments about the wedding.

Disney and Pixar&#8217;s latest offering is lagging well behind box office expectations — and the animation studio isn&#8217;t taking it sitting down.
“Elio” has earned just $35 million worldwide since its June 20 release, a record-low for Pixar. The film — which addresses themes like childhood and social isolation through the story of &#8220;Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession&#8221; — only brought in $21 million in ticket sales during its first three days in theaters.
In response to the disappointing numbers, Pixar shared a snarky post on its official Instagram account.
In the video, a woman addresses the reaction to &#8220;Elio,&#8221; which isn’t a remake or sequel, saying “Stop complaining that Disney doesn’t make original stories if you don’t show up to movie theaters and support them in the first place.”
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
“Who… who said that?” a woman in her car says by way of reaction. “Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one in my car. But anyway, there’s a new original story,” she continued, holding up a photo of the movie poster.
“Look at that, from Disney-Pixar, called Elio,” she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLaQFO-yad-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on</a>. “You should go ahead and support it, it comes out this Friday so yeah, you should go to the movie theater, thank you.”
Commenters on the Instagram post noted the lack of marketing for the film, which they indicated may have contributed to the lackluster results.
“Maybe actually market the movie then???” one comment read.
“Some marketing would&#8217;ve helped… but yes it deserves way better; it&#8217;s such a good movie!!” another commenter echoed.
“I think what drove people away from this one was reusing that same animation style. So many people are wanting something different and we’ve now gotten it quite a few times with movies and shorts,” another person wrote.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited to see this new movie! I think it’s just time to switch up the animation again. Also there was barely any marketing for the movie,” a third said.
“Elio” is the latest in a long line of Disney flops, but there have also been several success stories, including the live action remake of “Lilo &amp; Stitch,” which earned over $945 million worldwide.

Recording artist Beyoncé suffered a prop malfunction during a recent concert in Houston, which caused fans to circulate the near-disaster on social media.
The incident occurred during her performance of the song “16 Candles.” During this part of the concert, the 43-year-old singer is meant to float over the crowd in a red convertible as she’s singing. But during the show over the weekend, the car tipped dramatically to one side.
“Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,” Beyoncé could be heard saying into her mic as the music stopped. Then the car dropped slowly to the stage.
“If ever I fall, I know y’all would catch me,” she told the crowd once she made it safely back on the stage.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer also posted photos of the concert later to her social media, including photos of the incident. “I love you Houston,” she wrote in the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLeYqjIAO7r/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caption</a>.
The singer’s Parkwood Entertainment shared a statement on the incident later on as well. “Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.”
Last fall, the singer raised eyebrows during Kamala Harris’ presidential bid when she disappointed fans who expected her to perform <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/beyonce-fans-are-annoyed-she-didnt-perform-at-kamalas-rally">during a rally</a>. Instead, the 32-time Grammy Award-winner spoke briefly, but didn’t put on a show, which several other artists did to support the Democratic candidate.
“I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided, our past or present or future,” the singer said at the time.
Instead of being treated to a Beyoncé concert, Willie Nelson performed for the attending Harris supporters.

Lizzo is opening up about her recent weight loss, admitting that she did use a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic, but ultimately claims she dropped the weight due to major dietary changes.
“I’ve tried everything,” the 37-year-old singer said during a conversation on the “Just Trish” podcast. “It’s just the science, for me, calories in vs. calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food.”
“It makes you feel full. So, if you can just do that on your own and get mind-over-matter, it’s the same,” she added.
The “Good as Hell” singer said that quitting her vegan diet in favor of eating beef and chicken helped her with weight loss.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Lizzo Opens Up About Her Weight Loss Journey &amp; Mukbangs With Trisha | Just Trish Ep. 188" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DwDpqwcNWbQ?start=911&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“What did it for me was — actually it was not being vegan,” Lizzo said. “Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.”
“So for me, when I actually started eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of, like, fake things in there that wasn’t actually filling me up,” she continued.
The singer was known to her fans as being a champion of the body positivity movement, which has led to some fans having a negative reaction to her massive weight loss. She had originally denied using Ozempic and said her noticeable body change was due to a “calorie deficit.”
Lizzo addressed some of the backlash in a May 2023 TikTok video.
“Once I started working out for mental health, to have balanced mental health or endorphins, so that I don&#8217;t look at myself in the mirror and feel ashamed of myself, and feel disgusted with myself, exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body,&#8221; she said at the time, per <a href="https://people.com/inside-lizzo-weight-loss-journey-11713689">People</a>. &#8220;My body is gonna change, everyone&#8217;s bodies change.

The rapper known as Fat Joe, whose real name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, has been accused of multiple crimes, including the sexual assault of minors by his former hype man, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon.
Dixon filed a $20 million lawsuit in federal court on Thursday. Cartagena’s former employee made allegations of “coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion,” per <a href="https://variety.com/2025/music/news/fat-joe-sued-former-hypeman-t-a-dixon-1236436310/">Variety</a>. The lawsuit comes after Cartagena sued Dixon for slander in April after he claimed his former employee posted on social media about the rapper transporting a minor across state lines for sex.
The outlet noted that the claims made in the 157-page document were so extensive that the filing included a trigger warning.
Dixon worked for Cartagena for 16 years as a hype man, commonly used by rap and hip hop artists to get the crowd revved up and help set the tone for performances. Dixon also reportedly contributed to some of Cartagena’s songs by assisting with lyrics and backing vocals.
The lawsuit asserts that Dixon was forced “into humiliating situations, including sex acts performed under duress and surveillance, accompanied by threats of abandonment in foreign countries if [he] refused compliance.” The plaintiff added that he was “coerced into more than 4,000 sexual acts to maintain his standing within the Enterprise.”
Dixon also accused his former employee of engaging in sexual acts with minors on multiple occasions.
Per the lawsuit, Dixon said he “personally witnessed [Fat Joe] engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old.” The lawsuit listed three specific minors identified as Jane Does.
He said Jane Doe 1 was a 16-year-old New York resident who interacted with the rapper “in exchange for cash, clothing, and payment of her cell phone bill.&#8221; The lawsuit said she &#8220;would [perform] oral sex and other sexual acts” on Cartagena. 
“[Fat Joe] began having sexual relations with Minor Doe 2 when she was 15 years old after a concert overseas. Defendant flew Minor Doe 2 to New York City and Miami, Florida, on multiple occasions. Due to Minor Doe 2’s body being adolescent and not fully formed, Defendant paid for her to get a Brazilian Butt Lift. Minor Doe 2 eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete,” the complaint says. 
Minor Doe 3 is described as having met Cartagena when “she was 15 years old, turning 16.”
Per the complaint, “Defendant was in love with Minor Doe 3. He even contemplated leaving his wife. The Defendant paid all Minor Doe 3’s bills and even took her overseas to his tour stops. He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife.” 
“In a recorded conversation, Minor Doe 3 and her 15-year-old cousin describe in detail to Plaintiff how ‘inappropriate’ it was for Defendant, who was in his late 30s at the time, to be fawning over children,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit describes, “a wide spectrum of sexual coercion, psychological control, forced exhibitionism, and surveillance-based humiliation, including being compelled to perform sex acts under observation, being filmed, or directed by [Fat Joe] in the presence of others — tactics designed to control Plaintiff’s body, erode his autonomy, and ensure silence.” 
Dixon claims the recording artist “orchestrated repeated orgies involving Plaintiff, female dancers and minors. Defendant used.” 
“These incidents occurred under conditions that included the presence of corporate security staff, surveillance cameras, and Defendant’s management entourage, yet no intervention occurred, supporting the inference that these acts were facilitated by — and covered up by — the broader enterprise and its affiliates,” the lawsuit says. 
“[Dixon] did not willingly consent to participate in these acts; instead, Plaintiff submitted solely out of fear of immediate retaliation, which Defendant repeatedly demonstrated would include financial punishment, professional sabotage, abandonment in foreign countries, or physical harm.”
Cartagena has hired celebrity criminal attorney Joe Tacopina, who once served on Donald Trump&#8217;s legal team, to defend him in this case. The attorney released a statement denying any wrongdoing by his client. 
“The lawsuit filed by Tyrone Blackburn and Terrance Dixon is a blatant act of retaliation — a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the civil suit we filed first, which exposed their coordinated scheme to extort Mr. Cartagena through lies, threats, and manufactured allegations.”
The statement continues, “Law enforcement is aware of the extortionate demand at the heart of this scheme. The allegations against Mr. Cartagena are complete fabrications — lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure. Mr. Cartagena will not be intimidated. We have taken legal action to expose this fraudulent campaign and hold everyone involved accountable.”
Fat Joe is a Bronx-born rapper and music executive who rose to fame in the 1990s with hits like “Lean Back” and “What&#8217;s Luv?” He has been married to his wife, Lorena, since 1995. They have one daughter together, and Cartagena has two children from previous relationships.

Hollywood warned us.
If Americans choose Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris it’ll be the end of democracy.
Never mind that Trump previously served as president and the nation didn’t collapse under his “dictatorial” regime. Nor that Harris’s ascension came without a single primary vote.
Now, the stars are cosplaying their worst nightmares since reality refuses to cooperate.

The “ER” alum still fears that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/george-clooney-claims-its-frightening-time-news-business-because-trump">President Trump might target him</a> for saying such things, but he refuses to stand down.
&#8220;Sure. Everybody worries about it … But, you know, if you spend your life worrying about things, then you won&#8217;t do things. You know, we have, like everybody, a family, and we have a life, and we try to, you know, live and do things as the best example for our kids. And I want to be able to look at my kids in the eye and say where we stood and what we did at certain times in history. And I have no problem with that.&#8221;
Just like Clooney did when he saw a cognitively diminished President Joe Biden last June and waited weeks to share the news (after the leader’s poll numbers drooped).
Film and Broadway star Nathan Lane ginned up controversy for his new Hulu series “Mid-Century Modern” by claiming it could be canceled by the president at a moment’s notice. The sitcom follows three older gay men living their best lives.
<div id="attachment_937323" style="width: 804px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-937323" class="size-large wp-image-937323" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/GettyImages-2206933073-794x576.jpg" alt="LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 25: (L-R) Nathan Lee Graham, Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer attend the Los Angeles premiere of Hulu's new series &quot;Mid-Century Modern&quot; at DGA Theater Complex on March 25, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

The show has garnered modestly positive reviews but little cultural attention. Lane accidentally acknowledged that by suggesting the series <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/nathan-lane-says-trump-would-take-mid-century-modern-offair-1235132646/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook&amp;fbclid=IwQ0xDSwK6kBFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHqpTbg5C9jhC3XYyoZzwCup6rcsOuRclrkX9hbgqiBn3trrSCVlw5dweIpZ8_aem_Uo-DMaYAu5p9Ai286gjhTA">could end tomorrow</a> if a certain Hitler 2.0 learns about it.
“Is it going to change any minds? I don’t know about that. Trump, if he knew we were on the air, would probably try to shut it down, come after Hulu. But, I think it’s a great thing to have right now, in the midst of books being banned and, ‘Don’t say this and don’t say gay and don’t do that.’ I think it’s a perfect time for a show like this.”
Lane expertly wove Fear Mongering 101 with Fake News in that short paragraph. Impressive. Can someone tell him that Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is a gay man? So is longtime Trump ally Richard Grenell, now tasked with leading The Kennedy Center.
Rising comic star Nikki Glaser also weighed in with her own version of Orange Man Bad. The stand-up fears that her anti-Trump comments could cost her a return trip to the U.S. She recently performed in Canada and tweaked her apolitical routine to include Trump barbs. That left her shaken, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/24/entertainment/nikki-glaser-worried-that-she-could-not-be-let-back-into-the-country-for-trump-jokes/">she told Time Magazine.</a>
“Oh my God. What if what I said gets recorded and sent out? Maybe I could not be let back into the country.”
As the first comic to ever poke fun at Trump, those fears are very justified.

Musicians are weighing in with similar fears. Take hypocritical rocker Neil Young. He shared a similar worry about his international touring schedule. The ‘60s legend warned that he might not be allowed back in the U.S. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/apr/02/neil-young-fears-us-ban-donald-trump-criticism">for attacking Trump</a>.
“When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket,” Young wrote. “That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America.”
The irony of him worried about free speech after trying to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/just-in-spotify-to-pull-neil-young-music-after-ultimatum-letter-demanding-rogan-be-removed">silence Spotify superstar Joe Rogan</a> for his pandemic views remains lost on him.
One singer had a microscopic point about <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/11159066/canadian-musicians-touring-usa-donald-trump/">re-entering the U.S</a>.
Canadian country singer Robert Adam claims to be non-binary and scrapped plans to tour America due to Trump’s passport decree. Transgender people must declare their biological sex in the documents, something Adam refused to do.
Actor Billy Porter played the Hitler Card in a new interview tied to Trump. Porter described his current project, the 2015 play “This Bitter Earth” as both an extension of the classic show “Cabaret” and a response to Nazi Germany.
Sadly, he said we&#8217;re living in <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/06/18/the-hunger-games-star-billy-porter-america-is-nazi-germany-right-now-and-the-jews-are-black-people/">America’s version of the Third Reich</a> under Trump.
“[Cabaret] was written as a response to Nazi Germany, and it lived in that space for 60 years as a history piece, looking back on something that we have had moved through … and now we’re doing it and America is Nazi Germany. It’s not going to be Nazi Germany. It’s not becoming Nazi Germany. It’s not in fear of becoming [Nazi Germany]. It is Nazi Germany right now, and the Jews are Black people.”
We know that all of the above is a toxic stew of virtue signaling and fear mongering. President Trump’s critics are legion, especially within the Hollywood ranks. Stephen Colbert alone has spent nearly a decade savaging him in his “Late Show” monologues, much of it with Fake News gags tied to the Russian collusion hoax.
There’s no ICE-style army waiting outside his New York theater waiting to bring him in. The same holds true across the pop culture landscape.
Sure, Trump might send out a scorching Truth Social post mocking Kimmel, Colbert or even “Saturday Night Live.” It’s beneath the dignity of his office, but it always ends there.
Always.
The aforementioned stars didn’t say a peep about the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/zuckerberg-biden-harris-repeatedly-pressured-us-to-censor-free-speech">silencing dissent</a> on pandemic restrictions, the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fbi-spent-a-year-preparing-platforms-to-censor-biden-story-withheld-info-on-laptops-authenticity/">Deep State suppressing Hunter Biden laptop saga</a> or other First Amendment concerns. They didn’t decry “sensitivity readers” <a href="https://reason.com/2023/03/27/agatha-christie-woke-books-roald-dahl-ian-fleming/">erasing words</a> from books by Ian Fleming, Agatha Christie or Roald Dahl.
It’s why their fears of Dictator Trump should be treated with the same reverence as a made-for-streaming movie that the platform drops with zero fanfare.

Avowed leftist Mark Ruffalo is at it again, claiming that “billionaires” are the real problem while immigrants contribute nothing but hard work and prosperity to the country.
The 57-year-old “Avengers” actor spoke on the topic while attending one of several “No Kings” protest rallies that took place over the weekend. A video of his rant began circulating on social media.
Ruffalo said in the video that “immigrants aren’t the criminals,” claiming they “add to our economy by the billions.” He also said white people commit “most of the crimes” in society.
The actor said billionaires are “the true villains,” and the ones who are “really making our lives unbearable and making us so desperate.”

“It’s time to take our country back from that extreme wealth that has its hands all over the power of the nation,” said Ruffalo, whose estimated <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/mark-ruffalo-net-worth/">net worth</a> is around $35 million. 
Many social media commenters called out the Hulk actor for his comments, pointing out how immigrants who came here illegally are technically criminals.
“How is he that rich but also that stupid?” one person <a href="https://x.com/Neko_Tet/status/1935332215904419879">wondered</a>.
“This does prove what a great actor he is. Mark can play the brilliant Bruce Banner despite his extremely limited grasp on reality and logic,” another <a href="https://x.com/TheMuppetPastor/status/1935310936866160888">said</a>. 
“I think he took one too many headshots from Thanos,” another commenter <a href="https://x.com/RevAdamTBarr/status/1934963585169371364">joked</a>.
Several days ago, the actor went off on President Trump and ICE enforcement in another social media post, Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/mark-ruffalo-slams-billionaires-donald-trump-grifter-1236435124/">reported</a>.
“You want to get rid of the people who are picking your food, without a care in the world for who is poisoning your bodies with chemicals that aren’t ever meant to be in nature. You want to drive out those who make your life easier but not question those who dull your minds with lies and disinformation meant to confuse you and destroy brotherly and sisterly love for us here? You&#8217;re pointing your guns in the wrong direction,” he wrote in the lengthy screed.
“The president is a grifter,” Ruffalo continued. “His family is raking it in with their bitcoin con, the dopey tech billionaire takes your tax money to make himself richer than any person in the history of mankind with his pipe dream of living on Mars, while you starve, while you worry, while he gleefully lets people with AIDS, people suffering famine, or persecution or political danger silently die. He fires your family members, and stops cancer research to help cure the ones you love.”

Ronnie Winter, lead singer for the band Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, warned followers that he doesn’t want any Trump supporters attending the band’s concerts.
The alt-rock singer posted his views in an Instagram video, insisting that anyone who supports President Trump wouldn’t appreciate the “actual words of Jesus” and “acceptance” they’d experience at a show.
“Just doing a quick little PSA. I thought I was pretty clear about all this stuff in 2020,” Winter says in the opening of the video. “As you notice on my Instagram, I did not remove any of that stuff from the Stay Woke campaign, I guess you guys are calling it, from 2020. Look, man, the thing about being woke is: you’re awake, and once you’re awake, you can never go to sleep. And not only has nothing changed but everything they said was going to happen, the woke people, has happened. You have done nothing but prove them right.”
His rant continues with professions of faith and how he believes Christianity conflicts with following Trump.

“So, here it is again, in case somehow you missed it: Hi, I’m Ronnie Winter. I sing for the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and I actually follow what Jesus says. If you’re a Christian and you’re watching this and you voted for Donald Trump, shame on you. You are not allowed to come to my shows. I don’t want you there. Don’t come to my shows. It’s awesome that you love ‘Face Down’; it’s not for you. It’s not your song, OK? It is not your song.”
“If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows, ever, not just like these four years,” Winter declares. 
He goes on, “Don’t come to my shows because you’re going to hear a lot of woke propaganda, and you’re going to hear the actual words of Jesus, and you’re going to see a lot of acceptance from all areas of life and races, and you’re just going to see a lot of, like, harmony. OK? That’s not what you’re about, OK? Don’t come. Refunds are available. Forever, don’t come. Goodbye.”
Clips of the video started circulating on social media, with many people questioning the relevance of the band, whose best known song “Face Down” debuted in 2006.
“Who?” one commenter <a href="https://x.com/itsreallyleah/status/1935265726459482411">asked</a>.
“Bold move from a band most people forgot existed,” another <a href="https://x.com/MrSutharr/status/1935217780250571008">said</a>.
“Forgot? I never heard of them, never,” a third commenter <a href="https://x.com/Axiosxhristos/status/1935292675336577490">echoed</a>.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus formed in Middleburg, Florida, in 2003. Besides “Face Down,” they haven’t had any major mainstream hits.
