A Philadelphia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> fan has gone <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a> for directing crude remarks at a female Green Bay Packers fan during an NFC wildcard <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/football">game</a> on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
The man was captured on video calling the female <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl">Packers fan</a> an “ugly dumb c**t.” Her fiance, Alexander Basara, initially shared the footage on X, writing in the caption, “What it&#8217;s like going to Philly just trying to root for your team&#8230;Unprovoked, uncalled for. Packers twitter, help me out and find this guy&#8230;. this is not okay.”
“I hate that my fiancé had this happen simply cheering for her team,” he added.
In the video clip, Basara is heard telling the fan to stop calling his fiancée crude names. 
“She’s an ugly, dumb c**t,” the Eagles fan replied. “You gonna do anything? Shut the f*** up and watch the game.”
The woman doesn’t interact with the man or seem to respond much besides making a sarcastic “boo hoo” gesture.

The video went viral on X, with more than 25 million views as of Tuesday morning. Most people in the comments, including Eagles fans, have condemned the behavior. 
“Coming from an Eagles fan, I’m sorry. We’re not all like this &amp; I’m disappointed no one around him stepped in to say anything,” one person replied.
“Lifelong Eagles fan here. And previous season ticket holder. I can tell you that MY husband would have stuck up for YOUR fiance! Yes, as an Eagles fan. Most of us aren’t that guy,” another said.
The man was quickly identified online, and social media users started reporting him to NFL officials and to his place of business, which was a management consulting firm called BCT Partners. The company has a stated aim &#8220;to provide insights about diverse people that lead to equity.”

The New Jersey-based company issued a <a href="https://x.com/bctpartners973?lang=en">statement</a> on the incident, writing that it had been “made aware” of the video and “had already begun a full investigation” into the employee’s conduct. 
“As an organization that has always stood for inclusivity, the behavior displayed was completely unacceptable and stands in direct opposition to our company values. … We sincerely apologize to everyone affected by this behavior and remain committed to fostering a culture of respect for all,” the statement said.
NFL reporter Derrick Gunn <a href="https://x.com/RealDGunn/status/1879003944867057816">shared</a> on X that the Eagles fan was banned from attending Eagles games for life due to his conduct. 
He wrote in a post on Monday night, “Here&#8217;s an update &#8230; Big Dom [DiSandro] has identified the guy and woman involved in this incident .. the guy will be banned from future Eagles games .. the eagles will be sending the woman packers gear as an apology .. Eagles once again showing what a class organization they are.”
The Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers 22-10 during Sunday’s showdown. They face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/onlyfans">OnlyFans</a> content creator was recorded propositioning a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/restaurant">fast food</a> employee for sex, but she was turned down after the worker told her he was “a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christianity">Christian</a> man.”
Bonnie Blue, 25, is a controversial OnlyFans creator who targets 18 and 19-year-olds to have sex with her. 
Viewers had mixed reactions when Blue shared the video on her TikTok account. In the clip, the content creator enters a Five Guys branch and asks an employee where she can find “five guys” and inquires whether he’s “on the menu.”
&#8220;I can’t see it on the menu, but where are the five guys from?&#8221; she asks.
The worker replies, &#8220;The… huh?&#8221; 
She clarifies her statement, saying, &#8220;I didn’t know if it was like a special room, or you can take me out back?&#8221;
The worker again responds with confusion and says, &#8220;Uh, I don’t know what’s happening.&#8221;
&#8220;What about after your shift? I mean, I’d want to give you, you know, a good rating,&#8221; she says. 
The worker responds, &#8220;I’m a Christian man, and I’m waiting until marriage.&#8221; 
Bonnie Blue says, &#8220;I’m asking what’s on your menu, that’s all.&#8221; He responds, &#8220;Genuinely, I feel like I’m dreaming right now. I can hand you the menu if you want.&#8221;
The OF star doesn’t give up, saying, &#8220;Are you on it?&#8221; to which he replies, &#8220;No, I’m not.&#8221; 
She replies, &#8220;Oh, that’s a shame.&#8221;
The employee later shared the exchange on his X account, writing, “Bonnie Blue recording me at work was not on my bingo card for this year, but here we are, I guess.”

“Good for you for standing your ground and saving yourself for marriage! Not many are like that,” one person <a href="https://x.com/GodIsGood116_/status/1876744780530471181">wrote</a>. “My wife and I both waited for marriage too and it was definitely a lot better than being used products for others.”
“this is so predatory &#8211; if this was a man, everyone would be outraged,” another commenter <a href="https://x.com/taylor_vahey/status/1876719815890464884">said</a>. “not acceptable to do to someone at their job.”
“Well done brother. God has better plans for you, have faith,” another said.
In an <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2024/11/05/bonnie-blue-sex-barely-legal-teens-predatory-educational-21928983/">interview</a> with Metro last November, Blue said: “People are calling me a predator anyway. So it makes no difference if I’m a guy or a female, because my hate has been through the roof in terms of death threats and non-stop abuse.”
“If I was forcing them off the street, dragging them up, then yeah, call me a predator, but it’s not the case,” she added, claiming that 18-year-olds “choose to contact her.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/walmart">Walmart</a> is going <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a> for introducing a dupe of a designer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fashion">handbag</a>, which has already sold out and inspired an array of reactions online.
The handbag is designed like a luxury Hermès Birkin bag, a status symbol that retails for a minimum of $2,000 to over $2 million, depending on the materials and exclusivity. According to CNN, Most Birkins cost between $26,500 and $399,999.
The new Walmart version, which some shoppers call a “Wirkin,” costs around $78. A dupe is different from a knockoff because it isn’t a counterfeit item, but is instead designed in the same style as a more expensive item. In the case of the Walmart handbag, the shape and hardware are similar, but it doesn’t include Birkin’s signature logo.
Social media helped the bag gain popularity. On December 19, TikTok user @styledbykristi posted a clip about her purchase of the BESTSPR Platinum Lychee Tote. Since then, that clip has racked up more than 8.1 million views.

“It’s real leather, and I paid $80 for it,” the content creator says in the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@styledbykristi/video/7450220057646501166">video</a> as she unwraps the Kelly green bag. “She’s so pretty!”
“(For) $80, you can pretend that you got a Birkin,” she continued. “I mean, everyone will probably know it’s not because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.”
Former “Real Housewives of New York” star Bethenny Frankel added to the conversation, saying the controversy is “fascinating.”
“A person who couldn’t afford a Birkin could have gone to Chinatown or bought a bag on the gate, but then they would seem fraudulent,” Frankel <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bethennyfrankel/video/7453467932346076458?lang=en">said in a TikTok</a> posted on December 28. “People would call them out.”
She continued, “Walmart has given them entry. It’s a similar shape. This one is more functional. And you are allowed to do this. You’re not fronting, and you’re not stunting.”
Frankel said the only people upset about the bag’s existence are those who obsess over appearances.
“The intellectual property issue is another story we’ll get into, but this is basically the mob storming the castle saying, ‘We’re here too, b****, deal with it. You guys flaunted it and made it seem like we never get to be part of this, and now we get to be part of this fair and square,’” she said. “And the people that are going to be pissed off about are a**holes because they are not interesting people and flexing a bag is the most interesting thing about them.”

Haliey Welch, the internet personality best known for going <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a> on TikTok and being dubbed the “Hawk Tuah” girl, is publicly addressing the cryptocurrency debacle that occurred earlier this month.
The 22-year-old Tennessee native capitalized on her overnight success over the summer by launching a podcast and merchandise and appearing at various high-profile events. On December 4, Welch announced that her cryptocurrency, Hawk Tuah <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bitcoin">memecoin</a>, $HAWK, was live.
The memecoin immediately skyrocketed in value with a market cap of $490 million, but then the valuation dropped more than 90% to less than $100 million in minutes. Buyers were quick to blame Welch and others involved with the launch after they determined that most of the purchases came from a few wallets, leading them to accuse insiders of pre-launch access, then dumping the memecoin to artificially inflate its value, according to <a href="https://mashable.com/article/hawk-tuah-hailey-welch-mia-memecoin-lawsuit">Mashable</a>.
In the aftermath, on December 5, Welch and her crypto team partner overHere Ltd. held a public Spaces stream on X. Users used the opportunity to express their frustration, but before sharing any solid answers, Welch abruptly ended the stream.
&#8220;Hey guys, I hate to interrupt you, Nick, but hello there. Anywho, I&#8217;m gonna go to bed and I&#8217;ll see you guys tomorrow,” she said.
$HAWK memecoin investors filed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lawsuit">lawsuit</a> on Thursday, accusing the crypto creators of unlawfully promoting and selling cryptocurrency that was allegedly never properly registered, per <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14212325/hawk-tuah-hailey-welch-cryptocurrency-memecoin-lawsuit.html">The Daily Mail</a>.
Welch had not posted on social media since the failed cryptocurrency launch until Friday when she shared an update on X. 
“I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community,” Welch wrote. “I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter. If you have experienced losses related to this, please contact Burwick Law,” she said, including a link.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Replies to Welch ranged from outrage to humor.
“I hope you enjoyed your beauty sleep queen, welcome back,” one reply <a href="https://x.com/ElijahSchaffer/status/1870134157944250870">said</a>.

“Ma&#8217;am, you have exactly zero fans after you robbed everyone,” another X user <a href="https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1870143645224996872">replied</a>. “I hope your legal team is top notch. Have fun in prison, where you belong.”
A third wrote, “You are a scamming, lying, manipulative, unfunny, annoying person. You have scammed MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. And have no remorse for it. You’ve been “Sleeping” for weeks at this point and just now come out? I wonder if it’s because you are going ‘Tuah’ jail.”
The poster continued, “Count your days Haliey. The justice system is going to make an example out of you.”

“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">Wicked</a>” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ariana-grande">Ariana Grande</a> admitted that she had no idea what the self-described “queer journalist” was talking about in the interview that went viral and caused a lot of confusion.
In the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/queer-media-journalist-adds-weirdness-to-wicked-press-tour-in-viral-video">original video</a>, “Out” reporter Tracy Gilchrist told Grande and co-star Cynthia Erivo that &#8220;people have been taking the lyrics of &#8216;Defying Gravity&#8217; and really holding space with that and feeling power in that,&#8221; prompting Erivo to become emotional and say, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know that was happening. That’s really powerful,&#8221; as Grande gripped her hand and nodded along.
In the weeks since, the clip has circulated online and been mocked, as many viewers have questioned what Gilchrist was talking about when she used the words &#8220;holding space.&#8221; 
Grande said she didn’t understand the statement at all but just reacted strongly because the other two women were, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/ariana-grande-cynthia-erivo-explain-holding-space-interview-1236241743/">Variety</a>. 
“I didn’t know what any part of it meant,” the singer, who plays Glinda in the movie, said. “I didn’t understand the first sentence, and then I definitely didn’t understand how you responded. And I just wanted to be there. Because I knew something big was happening, and I didn’t know how to be there.”
“After a while, I didn’t know how to be there,” Erivo replied. 
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
Grande said of the interviewer, “She’s also an amazing interviewer and a lovely person. That goes without saying.” 
She added, “I feel really relieved that the world had the same experience with this moment that I did, because I felt like, ‘Oh, I’m not broken.’” 
Grande also discussed grabbing Erivo’s hand, saying, “I’m going to grab this, because she looks like you might need something. I don’t know what the tapping was about.” 
“Release of tension!” Erivo said.
Gilchrist also discussed the viral interview with Variety previously, saying, “‘‘Holding space’ is being physically, emotionally and mentally present with someone or something.” 
She <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/holding-space-defying-gravity-wicked-interview-meaning-1236223273/">added</a>, “For me, it means being in the moment, not being distracted and feeling something on a cellular level. I think you can hold space with lyrics of a song – one you’ve heard hundreds of times – and it can suddenly take on new meaning when you’re a queer person. The Trump administration is targeting LGBTQ+ people via Project 2025.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>’s ex-lawyer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michael-cohen">Michael Cohen</a> got ruthlessly trolled on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> during a livestream as he tried to speak seriously about the election results and viewers kept inserting the “turkey face” filter onto his head.
“Can we stop with that? All right? I don’t like the stupid turkeys,” Cohen said while covering the camera with his hand. “Let’s just knock that stupid sh** off please.”
“I did. I said I was leaving,” he continued, talking about his vow to leave the country if Trump won as one follower added the “laser eyes” filter. “And then the following day – get that through your dumb heads – the following day, I turned around and I said that there is no chance in the world that I’m leaving my country,” Cohen said as the turkey face filtered reappeared. “Thank you very much. All right? I’m not leaving anywhere. You leave. This is my country.”
The turkey briefly disappeared then came back as Cohen kept covering the screen and trying to deliver his message in a serious tone. “And I have every right, every single right, within which to turn around — would we stop, so we can – all right, two seconds or we’re gonna end up blocking this idiot,” he said as a giant pompadour hairstyle and and glasses filter appeared over his face.
Cohen made a disgusted sound and shook his head as a cowboy hat appeared next.
The video went viral on multiple social media platforms, with most viewers commenting on how hilarious they found the whole thing.
“Maybe I have the sense of humor of a 10 year old but this is the funniest video I&#8217;ve seen probably all year,” Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1854750309328863500">shared</a> on X.

Cohen had been discussing comments he made in September indicating that he would leave the United States if Trump won the presidency, which his former boss did do in a landslide victory on Tuesday.

“I’m out of here. I mean, I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name,” Cohen <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4898134-michael-cohen-donald-trump-2024-election-flee-usa/">told</a> MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace at the time.
“I don’t know how it’s going to work, as far as dealing with my wife and my children,” he continued. “I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.”
Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple crimes, including lying to Congress, and served prison time. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-cohen-admits-to-stealing-while-on-stand-at-trumps-nyc-trial">admitted</a> earlier this year during Trump’s hush money trial to stealing as much as $60,000 from the Trump Organization in 2017 by not reimbursing an IT firm he had hired to rig polls.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">trans</a>-identifying <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> creator who spurred the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral trend</a> of saying “very demure” is now upset that someone else trademarked the saying first.
Jools Lebron started posting clips featuring the “very demure, very mindful, very cutesy” narration that’s taken social media by storm. Big-name celebrities have gotten on board, and even the White House tested out the phrase.
“Cancelling [sic] the student debt of nearly 5 million Americans through various actions. Very mindful. Very demure,” an X post <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/very-demure-tiktoker-says-earnings-will-finance-transition-then-the-white-house-jumps-on-the-bandwagon">shared</a> on August 16 said alongside a smiling photo of President Joe Biden.
Lebron, a biological man, has since racked up more than 2 million followers and said any earnings would be used for his &#8220;transition&#8221; surgery.
“I was playing cashier and making videos on my break, and now I’m flying across the country to host events, and I’m going to be able to finance the rest of my transition,” Lebron said in response to detractors.
Now the TikTok influencer is upset that a man named Jefferson Bates filed an application in Washington to trademark the expression, “Very Demure .. Very Mindful …,” per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/very-demure-tiktok-creator-jools-lebron-didnt-rademark-phrase-rcna168144">NBC News</a>.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1724361346607000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1ZhyOQfEkxcMH_D1Ago3CQ">Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
Lebron posted about the situation in a now-deleted update shared on social media. “I wanted to do so much for my family and provide for my transition, and I just feel like I dropped the ball,” Lebron said over the weekend. 
This spurred another person, Raluca Pop, to file for a trademark to one of Lebron’s other phrases, “Very Demure Very Cutesy.” Pop did this with the intention of transferring it to Lebron at a later date.  
NBC noted that both Pop and Bates’ applications are still pending.
Pop reportedly saw Lebron as “the one that created it and popularized [the phrase]. Like, she should be the one to reap the benefits.” 
Pop added, “And once I saw that this other guy tried to steal it out from under her, I realized that he didn’t trademark the remainder of her phrase, ‘very cutesy.’ And that’s when I went and I did it, instead.”
On Tuesday Lebron posted on TikTok again about the situation, saying only that it was “handled” and that there was a “team” of people dealing with it.

Celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Reese Witherspoon have used the phrase “very demure” to promote current projects. Lebron has also partnered with brands like Verizon and Lyft and appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last week.
The original clip was shared on TikTok in early August. It shows Lebron applying makeup while narrating the process.
“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. See how I look very presentable? A lot of you girls go to the interview, looking like Marge Simpson, and go to the job looking like Patty and Selma, not demure,” Lebron <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-does-demure-tiktok-trend-jools-lebron-mean/">said</a>.

A lot of you girls go to the interview, looking like Marge Simpson, and go to the job looking like Patty and Selma, not demure,&#8221; Lebron <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-does-demure-tiktok-trend-jools-lebron-mean/">said</a>. 
Another activity the TikTok influencer described as “demure” included staying seated after an airplane lands.

The &#8220;demure&#8221; trend got so popular that Lebron posted a video about it, posting a reaction to negative commenters last week, “Hey bandeja, maybe you should — maybe you should make the videos. Maybe you should make the videos, because one day, I was playing cashier and making videos on my break, and now I’m flying across the country to host events, and I’m going to be able to finance the rest of my transition.”
The influencer also <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@joolieannie/video/7403953112211311918?lang=en">celebrated</a> the official White House X account using the “demure” wording to promote policy.
“Cancelling [sic] the student debt of nearly 5 million Americans through various actions. Very mindful. Very demure,” the X post said alongside a smiling photo of President Joe Biden.

A-list celebrities have also referenced the trend. Reese Witherspoon <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-uzF0YONcF/?img_index=1">described</a> the latest season of her Apple TV series “The Morning Show” as “very demure.” Jennifer Lopez drank from a bottle of her Delola brand cocktail and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-wRQgYJBUQ/">described</a> her actions as “very demure” and “very mindful.”
Actor Penn Badgley made the same <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-tRG1Yu0Zj/">comments</a> about playing a serial killer character on “You,” as did Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis while <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-wPpllJu1v/">promoting</a> their “Freaky Friday” sequel.

Lebron <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-does-demure-tiktok-trend-jools-lebron-mean/">spoke with</a> CBS Mornings about the definition of demure.
&#8220;Your demure is what it means to you. It&#8217;s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world,&#8221; the influencer said. &#8220;When I did start making TikToks, I found more girls like me. I found girls who are plus size who are trans, who are having the same experiences that come uniquely with that set of combinations.”
Lebron concluded, &#8220;Your demure is what it means to you. It&#8217;s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country star</a> Zach Bryan invited the now infamous “Hawk Tuah” girl, who went <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a> for an on-the-street interview she did, onto the stage during a show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday.
The 28-year-old country star surprised the crowd when he invited the internet sensation on stage as he was singing the encore song, “Revival,” per <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/zach-bryan-hawk-tuah-girl-nashville-concert-video-1235720973/">Billboard</a>. Bryan is currently on his Quittin Time Tour.
“Hawk Tuah” girl has been identified as Hailey Welch, 23, who became massively popular on social media for giving her thoughts on what men desired during sex. 
“You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!” she said in a clip that has been circulating online. She made the comments during an interview with the creators of Tim &amp; Dee TV.
Welch was wearing a cowboy hat and white boots at Bryan’s show. She carried a drink onto the stage and delivered a “hawk tua!” to the assembled crowd. 
Kacey Musgraves also guest-starred during the same show. She and Bryan performed their song, “I Remember Everything,” together. 
Hawk Tuah merchandise has become available from Fathead Threads, a family-owned business based in Marshall County, Tennessee, according to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/hawk-tuah-girl-merch-viral-video-1235047145/">Rolling Stone</a>. 
“Of course she hasn’t gotten a dime from the first viral video that went out,” brand owner Jason Poteete, who knew Welch prior to her going viral, told the outlet. “Nobody was asking permission for her to do nothing, neither. I just wanted her to get some profit off of this deal.”
“There are some crazy people in the world who’ve reached out to her,” he added. “She’s probably one of the most well-known people in the world at this point. But I don’t know if she’s embraced it.”
Rolling Stone calculated that based on sales figures provided, about $65,000 worth of merchandise had been sold so far. 
“It could be a blessing or a curse,” Poteete told the outlet. “She may be in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. [But] I think she’ll do fine in the end.”
He added, “She has a bubbly personality. She can be somewhat risque. You never know what she’s gonna say. I just think the world needed a laugh, and she provided that.”

A dramatic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">video</a> shows a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/animals">giraffe</a> lifting a toddler out of the family vehicle while they were going through a drive-thru safari. 
The incident occurred when the family was visiting Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas">Texas</a>. The family says they were feeding a giraffe from the bed of their pickup truck when the animal accidentally grabbed their 2-year-old daughter Paisley&#8217;s shirt, per <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/living/story/giraffe-lifts-toddler-air-safari-drive-110873738">Good Morning America</a>.
Videos of the incident were captured by Paisley’s mom Sierra Robert and other bystanders in line at the safari.

&#8220;By the time I, like, looked back over, she was gone,&#8221; Robert told GMA. &#8220;It was just really shock, you know, adrenaline sets in.&#8221;
Paisley’s father Jason Toten also saw what happened from the driver’s seat. He said he believes the whole thing was an accident as the animal was just trying to get the food being offered, which was allowed by the venue. 
“Paisley was holding the bag and the giraffe went to go get the bag, not get her, but ended up getting her shirt too and picking her up,” the father told <a href="https://www.kwtx.com/2024/06/03/my-heart-stopped-fossil-rim-giraffe-accidentally-picks-up-toddler-during-drive-thru-safari/">KWTX</a>. “My heart stopped, my stomach dropped… it scared me.”
The giraffe released the toddler quickly and she fell into her mother’s arms uninjured, as multiple outlets reported. 
Per Fossil Rim Wildlife Center rules, giraffes are the only animals visitors are allowed to feed.
&#8220;Only giraffes can be fed by hand. This is for your safety, as animals besides giraffe[s] can bite,” the website <a href="https://fossilrim.org/road-rules/">says</a>.
Toten said Paisley later got a stuffed giraffe from the gift shop because she “deserved it.” 
The incident has prompted the safari to change some of their rules. As of June 6, &#8220;guests are no longer permitted to ride in the bed of pickup trucks,&#8221; the website says. 
Fossil Rim Wildlife Center issued a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/giraffe-lifts-toddler-air-safari-drive/story?id=110873738">statement</a> to ABC News on Wednesday regarding the incident.
&#8220;We were recently made aware of an incident involving one of our giraffes that occurred this past weekend,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The incident was first reported to us on Monday June 3rd. The safety of our guests and animals is always of utmost importance to us. Although an incident like this has never occurred here previously, we are taking immediate action to make sure it won&#8217;t happen again.&#8221;

A woman went viral on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> after posting a 50-part series documenting the downfall of her marriage. 
The entire saga is broken down into ten-minute segments, which social media users said they’re binge-watching like a TV show. The TikTok user, Reesa Teesa, racked up more than 122 million views on the “Who TF Did I Marry?” <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@reesamteesa?lang=en">series</a>. Each video clip has over one million views.
Reesa Teesa began the series by explaining how she met her ex-husband on a dating app. She identifies the man only as “Legion,” referring to a man possessed by demons in the Bible. Teesa explains how she got close to Legion during the COVID pandemic, leading to them moving in together and her becoming pregnant (though she said she later had a miscarriage). But after some time, Teesa said she began exposing many of her ex-husband’s lies.
Teesa said she posted the 50-part series so viewers could listen to her experience “like an audiobook,” per a report from <a href="https://time.com/6696963/who-tf-did-i-marry-tiktok-series/">Time</a>. 
“You can listen to all the times I made bad decisions, you can clearly listen to the good, the bad, the ugly, the embarrassing,” she said in a video posted Wednesday. “But most importantly, the redemption and the forgiveness that I am trying and learning to give myself. All in all, do not be dismayed that it is 50 parts.”
The first video in the series has 22.8 million views. Teesa has 2.3 million followers on the platform, thanks to the popularity of the series.
Teesa claimed that Legion lied about his job, employment history, finances, and family. She said she later found out that his family didn’t speak to him because of him being a pathological liar. Teesa called her ex “the United Nations of red flags.”
After the videos went viral, one viewer discovered the identity of her ex-husband, per Time. But Teesa said during a TikTok Live that she contacted that person and asked to have the information deleted. She said she didn’t plan to speak to her ex ever again.

TikTok users love Teesa’s videos despite the time commitment it took to hear her whole story. One popular user comment addressed this phenomenon, which is unique compared to most short TikTok content. That user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@reesamteesa/video/7338058381124488490?lang=en">said</a> Teesa “gave us our attention span back.” 
Many commentators are calling for the saga to be turned into a movie, which is what happened to a 2015 Twitter thread that went viral and eventually became the basis for the 2020 film “Zola.”

A China zoo insists that its bears are real after people claimed one was nothing more than a person dressed in a costume in a video that went viral.
Images surfaced over the weekend from a zoo in the eastern province of Zhejiang showing a sun bear standing on its hind legs and looking very humanlike from behind, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/sun-bears-zoo-china-denies-humans-costume-rcna97477" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> reported.
&#8220;Some people think I stand like a human, and it seems that you don&#8217;t understand me that much,&#8221; Hangzhou Zoo wrote on its official social media account from the perspective of the bear in the video, named Angela.
&#8220;Previously, some tourists thought that I was too tiny to be a bear,&#8221; the message added. &#8220;I have to emphasize again: I am a Malayan sun bear! Not a black bear! Not a dog! A sun bear!&#8221;

A video of a bear standing in Hangzhou, China, swept through social media with conspiracy theories it was a human in a suit.

The video blew up after the 15-second clip was posted on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, on July 27, NBC News noted. In the clip,  the sun bear is seen standing on its hind legs for a very long time, with what many viewers thought looked similar to a human in a costume wearing baggy pants.
The bear interacts with the tourists in the footage, as it almost appeared to raise a paw and wave at one point. The bear then sits down before walking away on all four paws.
