Jessica Tarlov, a Democratic strategist and co-host on The Five, is encountering significant backlash for remarks she made earlier this week.
During an appearance on Fox News, Tarlov employed what many on social media are labeling dangerous rhetoric, which critics believe could incite violence against former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee for the White House.
In an interview on the network, Tarlov was discussing the 2024 presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, when she observed: “This is the chance to put the final nail in the coffin so that you don’t have Donald Trump on the ballot again.”
Trump has been the target of at least two assassination attempts, both occurring within a 60-day span. Also, a California sheriff said his deputies thwarted what they claim was a third attempt during Trump’s Coachella, Calif., rally on Saturday.
Many individuals on the political right believe that the vilification of the 45th president by left-wing politicians and the media fueled these murder attempts.
One X account named Common Sense Custodian replied to the video clip by saying, “Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE to speak like this. She needs to be FIRED immediately.”
Another user, Mark Ivey, responded by writing, “I don’t see why they keep her on The Five. I have to check to see if she or Harold is on every night. She’s the worst.”
Other responses include:
“This b**ch is why I stopped watching Fox News.
“These people are vile.”
“Time to fire Jessica or require her to get counseling for her TDS. The violent innuendos are a big turn off to viewers.”
“I couldn’t hate this woman more…one of several reasons won’t watch @FoxNews
anymore. Too bad the kids ruined it!”
The former president has directly attributed the blame for both assassination attempts on his life to President Joe Biden and the vice president, claiming that their ongoing rhetoric portraying him as a threat to democracy has led some on the left to feel compelled to eliminate him to protect their freedoms.
“Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out,” Trump said in comments to Fox News Digital, according to a report from The Associated Press.
“While authorities continue to investigate the motives of both the gunman in Pennsylvania and the person arrested Sunday in Florida, Trump has made clear that he sees attempts on his life as politically motivated — and blames his rivals for them,” the AP added.
But it’s not clear that an investigation is really underway.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis claimed that federal law enforcement is intentionally impeding the state’s investigation into the last attempt to assassinate Trump and that the Biden-Harris administration is not only not collaborating with state authorities investigating the matter.
During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday, the two-term governor and previous GOP presidential candidate for 2024 stated that state investigators tried to enter a location where the alleged attacker, Ryan Routh, 58, was waiting for Trump while he played golf last Sunday at his course close to Palm Beach, but were “rebuffed” by federal authorities.
“I want to turn to another topic because we were relieved to hear that you are doing your own independent investigation in Florida concerning the second assassination attempt on President Trump,” Ingraham noted to begin her segment with DeSantis on Thursday. “My question to you tonight is, are the Feds being cooperative with your investigation? Are you concerned that you’re not getting the information you need?”
“The answer is, no, they’re not being cooperative. Yes, I am concerned. I mean, for example, we were rebuffed. Our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach,” DeSantis said.
In a move that has resonated across the cable news landscape, longtime CNN anchor Christine Romans has announced her departure from the network after more than 24 years of dedicated service.
Her exit, marked by an emotional on‑air sendoff last Friday, comes at a time when CNN continues to struggle with dwindling ratings and fierce competition from other news outlets.
Romans, widely recognized as the steady face of CNN’s “Early Start” and its chief business correspondent, signaled that it was time to turn the page and embark on a new chapter in her career.
Paul Walker, the star of the Fast and the Furious movies, passed away in 2013, shocking the entire world. But his passing significantly affected one person, Vin Diesel, his longtime friend and co-star, who was like a brother to the late actor. Even after all these years, Vin has never failed to honor and remember his true friend, who holds a special place in his heart.
Best friends on-screen and in real life
0070056/Reporter/ East News
Paul Walker and Vin Diesel first appeared together on-screen in The Fast and the Furious, where Walker portrayed Brian O’Conner and Diesel depicted gang leader Dominic Toretto. Along with the emotional bond the movie characters form, the 2 actors also started cultivating a sweet friendship off-screen that transcended time and space.
Alex Ribeiro/Broadimage/EAST NEWS
They forged a genuine friendship at the start of the franchise that persisted throughout the production of the films from 2001 to 2013 and lasted for almost 15 years. In fact, Diesel is his late friend’s daughter Meadow Walker’s godfather, proving their amazing connection goes beyond the simple co-star relationship.
“When we first started doing this, we thought we were doing a classic car movie, and we would do one and that would be it,” Diesel recalled. Instead, he confessed how unsure of whether the strategy was to make “alternatively, 7, 8, 9, and 10.” Discussing this even further, Diesel reflected on a promise they had made to one another, saying, “We would take this franchise and end it at Fast 10,” Diesel said.
On November 30, 2013, Walker reached out on Twitter to let his followers know that the sixth installment of the cherished movie series would soon be available. However, a few hours later, Walker tragically passed away in a car accident.
Walker was a very well-known philanthropist, and that day, he spent his time at a charitable event. Just like the character he had played, Walker shared the same passion for fast cars. In fact, that very day, Walker and his friend, Roger Rodas, held the charity event at the high-performance car shop they owned.

When they left the gathering, Walker was sitting in the passenger seat while Rodas was driving, and suddenly, only a few hundred yards away, the driver lost control of the vehicle. Those present at the event hurried to help, but they were powerless. Walker’s friends watched helplessly as the tragedy quickly spread through the media. Within hours, Walker’s passing shocked fans all over the world.
Vin Diesel never goes a day without cherishing his best friend fondly.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker were close friends, and when the actor passed away, it devastated Diesel. Losing his best friend forever tore him apart. However, the actor has always tried to keep his memory alive by talking about Walker and their special relationship. In fact, during some interviews, he would frequently cry in front of the camera.
The actor also discussed meeting Walker’s mother the day after the fatal car crash. He admitted that Walker’s mother’s response, in which she expressed regret, surprised him. “I said, ’Why? Why are you saying sorry to me?’ And she said, ’Because you lost your other half.’”
Vin Diesel found it difficult to accept that his beloved confidant had suddenly vanished, ceasing to rely on and watch out for one another. Walker was a substantial source of support for him, especially when he helped Diesel restore his relationship with his mother. “You spend 15 years going from being a nobody to somebody with a brother. And then one day he’s gone, and it’s a very heavy experience.”
BecauseFast and Furious 7 was still in the making, Diesel had not even had time to mourn the loss of his friend. After Walker passed away, Diesel was forced to act as though his friend was standing next to him while the movie was being filmed. He declared, “I’ve been acting all my life, and they don’t teach you in acting how to mourn someone and simultaneously pretend they’re in a scene with you.”
The relationship between Walker and Diesel is unbreakable, and despite Walker’s passing, Diesel has continued to be close with his family, giving them a sense of their late father’s presence. Additionally, Diesel gave his second daughter the name Pauline as a tribute to his deceased friend.
Both the Diesel and Walker families frequently get together, and a special bond between their daughters shows how friendship can cut across all barriers. Above all, Diesel remained close to Meadow, his goddaughter, whom he said “takes good care” of him.
“She’s the first person on Father’s Day to wish me Happy Father’s Day,” Diesel said. “To see her with my children is one of the most beautiful things. There are moments when I see her playing with Pauline, and it hits me so deep, ’cause I can only imagine what my brother sees when he sees that.”
One of the most meaningful tributes Diesel paid to his late friend was walking his daughter Meadow down the aisle. This single act moved everyone because it showed the actor’s love for Walker and fulfilled a duty that the late father would have had to fulfill if he were still alive.
“Life’s blessings always follow tragedies in life,” Diesel wrote on his Instagram. “Look at this photo, Pablo. It will make you smile. The same angel that you helped me prepare for in the most beautiful way with your brotherly advice is the same angel that precious Meadow asked to be her maid of honor.”
What is the most generous thing you have ever done for a friend? Have you ever experienced the loss of a loved one?
These are the chilling final words of a pilot who tragically allowed his children to sit in the cockpit and pretend to control the plane, leading to one of the deadliest accidents in aviation history.On March 23, 1994, Aeroflot Flight 593 experienced a catastrophic crash, killing all 75 passengers and crew onboard. It remains one of the most devastating and preventable crashes in history.
The flight was on its way from Moscow to Hong Kong during the late hours of the night. Among the crew was Captain Andrew Viktorovich Danilov, who had an impressive 9,500 flight hours under his belt. He was joined by First Officer Igor Vasilyevich Piskaryov and Relief Captain Yaroslav Vladimirovich Kudrinsky, both of whom were also seasoned pilots.
Despite the extensive experience of the crew, none of the pilots could anticipate the series of errors that would result from allowing children to interact with the plane’s controls.This particular flight marked the first international trip for Kudrinsky’s children, Yana, 13, and Eldar, 15. Wanting to make the journey special for them, Kudrinsky invited them into the cockpit, a decision that ultimately proved disastrous.
Although regulations strictly forbid such actions, the crew believed the autopilot system would ensure safety. They assumed the children’s interaction with the controls would be harmless since the plane was not meant to respond to their inputs.
The tragedy occurred on an Aeroflot flightJoanValls/Urbanandsport /NurPhoto via Getty Images
First, Kudrinsky’s daughter Yana was allowed to sit in the pilot’s seat at around 12:43 a.m. She playfully pretended to fly the plane while it remained on autopilot.A few minutes later, at around 12:51 a.m., Kudrinsky’s son Eldar took his turn in the pilot’s seat. He was permitted to move the controls, again under the assumption that the autopilot would keep the plane steady.
Just under four minutes later, however, a sequence of errors began to unfold that would result in catastrophic consequences.
At 12:54 a.m., Eldar continued to manipulate the control stick for over 30 seconds. The pressure he applied, which reached up to 10 kilograms, interfered with the autopilot’s adjustments to maintain stability. As a result, the system switched from autopilot to manual mode without the crew’s awareness.A subtle indicator light blinked to alert the crew that Eldar had partial control of the plane. Unfortunately, due to their unfamiliarity with the non-Soviet aircraft, the crew did not notice this critical warning.
The aircraft began to bank, and with the autopilot disengaged, it could no longer maintain altitude, leaving it vulnerable to the dangers of its unstable position.
Recognizing the danger, Captain Kudrinsky quickly instructed the co-pilot to regain control while moving Eldar away from the controls to resume command of the aircraft himself.He was recorded saying: “Eldar, get away. Go to the back, go to the back Eldar! You see the danger don’t you,”
His voice became increasingly desperate as he continued: “Go away, go away Eldar! Go away, go away. I tell you to go away!”
The pilots fought desperately to stabilize the plane and nearly succeeded. Unfortunately, their attempt resulted in an overcorrection, sending the aircraft into an almost vertical climb.The sudden climb caused the plane to stall, ultimately spiraling into a spin. It began losing altitude rapidly and fell below the minimum safe level as it passed over mountainous terrain.
At 12:59 a.m., air traffic control at Novokuznetsk waited for the flight’s routine position update. However, no message came, and the flight disappeared from radar shortly after.

At 12:58 a.m., just over two minutes after the series of events began, Flight 593 crashed into the Kuznetsk Alatau Mountain range in southern Russia’s Kemerovo Oblast. The impact, which occurred at a high vertical speed of approximately 160 mph, completely destroyed the aircraft.All 75 passengers and crew onboard were killed instantly. Aeroflot initially denied any fault by the crew, but later investigations revealed human error as the primary cause, supported by the cockpit recordings.
1-31-25 Approximately 1807hrs Philadelphia was rocked by another tragic plane crash on January 31, 2025, at approximately 1807 hours. The crash occurred in the 7200 block of Calvert Street, engulfing multiple homes and vehicles in flames. Emergency responders arrived swiftly at the scene, with Engine 71 reporting a massive explosion and heavy fire. Battalion Chief 12 later confirmed that a plane had crashed into a residential dwelling, setting two homes ablaze and involving several automobiles in the resulting inferno.
Mass Casualty Incident Declared As the extent of the devastation became clear, authorities declared a Mass Casualty Incident, signaling the seriousness of the event. The scale of the emergency soon prompted an upgrade to a 3-alarm fire, with firefighters battling to contain the flames and rescue any survivors.
Details Emerge: Learjet 55 Jet Rescue Air Ambulance Initial flight records indicate that the aircraft involved was a Learjet 55 Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, which had just departed from Northeast Philadelphia Airport en route to Springfield, Missouri. Early reports suggested that two individuals were on board, but more recent updates confirm that there were six people aboard at the time of the crash.
Community in Shock, Calls for Prayers The local community is in mourning as authorities continue rescue and recovery efforts. The full extent of casualties and injuries has yet to be determined. First responders and investigators are working tirelessly to gather details and determine the cause of this horrific accident.
Philadelphia residents and the broader public are urged to keep the victims, their families, and emergency personnel in their thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.

Since March 2022, the Willis family has been giving updates on Bruce Willis’ health after the “Die Hard” star stepped away acting due to health issues, specifically a disorder called aphasia, which leads to difficulties writing and speaking.
The following year, in February 2023, they confirmed that Bruce Willis’ condition had progressed and that they had a definitive diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, aka FTD, a degenerative disease that primarily affects communication and behavior, as opposed to memory, like other types of dementia.
In an October 2024 interview with Town & Country, Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed the first signs that something had changed about the “Die Hard” star’s health. His language changed, she said. But Bruce Willis had a childhood stutter and she assumed the sudden changes in his speech were connected to that.
“As his language started changing, it (seemed like it) was just a part of a stutter, it was just Bruce. Never in a million years would I think it would be a form of dementia for someone so young,” she said.
It would take a few years before doctors discovered the true reason.
“I say that FTD whispers, it doesn’t shout. It’s hard for me to say, ‘This is where Bruce ended, and this is where his disease started to take over,’” she added.
Frontotemporal dementia is the most common type of dementia in people under 60. Ahead, discover what the Willis family has shared about the actor’s health.
Bruce Willis health update
Bruce Willis’ health is “stable” since being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, his family has shared in recent updates.
Appearing on CNN Dec. 5, the actor’s ex-wife Demi Moore shared an update on his health.
“He’s in a very stable place at the moment,” she said. “I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely — it’s so important for anybody who’s dealing with this to really meet them where they’re at.”
Tallulah Willis, his youngest daughter with Moore, stopped by TODAY on Sept. 18, 2024, and reflected on some of the more difficult aspects of her father’s condition.
“He’s doing stable, which, in this situation is good and is hard,” the 30-year-old said. “There’s painful days, but there’s so much love.”
“It’s really shown me to not take any moment for granted, and I really do think that we’d be best friends,” Tallulah Willis continued. “I think he’s very proud of me. You have to be in the moment. You have to be present.”
In November 2023, Tallulah Willis shared an update on her dad’s condition on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” She described Bruce Willis’ dementia as “really aggressive,” adding, “He is the same, which, I think, in this regard, I’ve learned is the best thing you can ask for.”
During a September 2023 appearance on TODAY, Heming Willis spoke about caregiving and how Willis was doing for World FTD Awareness Week. It was her first interview since his diagnosis was made public.
“Dementia is hard,” Heming Willis said. “It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is.” (She and Bruce Willis share two daughters, Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10.)
Asked if her husband was aware of what’s going on with his health, Heming Willis replied, “It’s hard to know.”
She added that accepting his diagnosis has been “painful, but … just being in the know of what is happening to Bruce makes it a little easier.”
Bruce Willis’ family also occasionally shares photos of him to mark special occasions.
For his 69th birthday in March, Moore, posted a picture of Bruce Willis reclining in a chair sitting next to her and holding her arm. “Happy birthday, BW! We love you and are so grateful for you,” she captioned it.
Rumer Willis, Bruce daughter, also shared some snapshots with her dad for his birthday. In the last photo in the carousel, which appears to be the most recent, she wraps her arm around her father as he points at something in the distance.
“Oh Daddio, to be loved by you is such a gift. You are the funniest, most tender, charming, out of this world silly talented and magical papa,” she wrote in part.
Around Thanksgiving November 2023, Bruce Willis’ second-oldest daughter, Scout Willis, posted a brief clip of the actor holding her hand with the caption, “My guy.”

Scout Willis also shared another intimate moment with her father in a photo roundup celebrating the end of 2023. In the picture, she rests her head on her dad’s chest as he holds her head in his hands and they smile at each other.

The Willis family previously marked his birthday on March 19, 2023, with a video of Bruce Willis shared to Moore’s X account — the first of him since his diagnosis was announced publicly. In the sweet clip, his daughters and wife sing “Happy Birthday” to him as he jokes about their vocal range in the background.
What has Bruce Willis’ family said about his dementia?
In February 2023, the Willis family shared in a statement that they finally had a “clear diagnosis” of frontotemporal dementia, adding that “challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces.”
Since then, his family has shared at times how they’re coping with his condition.
During a May 29, 2024, TODAY appearance, Rumer Willis reflected on the support she and her family have received.
“What’s lovely is people will stop me on the street or at the airport, wherever it is, and are so effusive about how much they love him, how much of an impact he’s had on them, or just that they’re sending love to our family,” she said. “It really makes me a proud daughter, honestly, to just see how much love he’s getting.
“It’s such a testament to who he is. He’s so beloved,” she added.
In March, Heming Willis also shared a message about celebrating milestones with a loved one with dementia and posted sweet pics in honor of her 15th wedding anniversary.
“I can make a choice. I can wallow in sorrow or I can celebrate it. I call this the ‘remarkable reframe.’ What I know is there is so much to celebrate,” she wrote on Instagram. “Our union and connection is probably stronger than ever. We have two bright, fun and healthy daughters. We have a family unit that is built on mutual respect and admiration. And simply, I just love and adore the man I married. I’m so proud of what we have and continue to create. So, happy crystal anniversary to us!”
The mother of two previously shared a glimpse of her life caring for her husband in an Instagram post shared in late December.
“Holidays are hard. Anniversaries are hard. But for me this year, it has really been about community,” she said, adding that she’d just had a “good cry” with a close friend of hers.

For Father’s Day 2023, Rumer Willis reflected on what it was like to have her father meet his first grandchild.
“Seeing my father hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life. His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful,” Rumer Willis wrote on Instagram. “Papa I’m so lucky to have you and so is Lou. Thank you for being the silliest, most loving, coolest Daddio a girl could ask for. Best Girl Dad in the game …”
What happened to Bruce Willis?
Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, aka FTD, and had to retire from acting. Before his family publicly shared his diagnosis in 2023, they revealed in March 2022 that he had to step away from Hollywood because he was experiencing a disorder called aphasia. Aphasia occurs when a person struggles with speaking, understanding, reading or writing.
Aphasia can be caused by a head injury or stroke, and the onset will usually be sudden, or it can be caused by a disease such as frontotemporal dementia, in which case the communication difficulties get worse over time, experts previously told TODAY.com.
In an essay for Vogue published in May 2023, Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah Willis wrote that his frontotemporal dementia “chips away at his cognition and behavior day by day.”
What were the early signs of Bruce Willis’ dementia?
The early signs of Bruce Willis’ dementia included difficulty communicating, aka aphasia. His wife, Emma Heming Willis, assumed it was connected to Willis’ childhood stutter in an Oct. 2024 Town & Country interview.
Tallulah Willis described his early health changes as “a vague unresponsiveness,” a Vogue essay, “which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: ‘Speak up! ‘Die Hard’ messed with Dad’s ears.’”
“Later that unresponsiveness broadened, and I sometimes took it personally. He had had two babies with my stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, and I thought he’d lost interest in me,” Tallulah Willis continued, later noting that this “couldn’t have been farther from the truth.”
She finally realized her father’s health was declining when she was at a wedding and the father of the bride gave an emotional speech.
“Suddenly I realized that I would never get that moment, my dad speaking about me in adulthood at my wedding. It was devastating,” she recalled. “I left the dinner table, stepped outside, and wept in the bushes.”
FTD patients sometimes have “difficulty expressing themselves, understanding what’s being spoken and figuring out the meaning of things sometimes,” Dr. Jagan Pillai, neurologist at Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, previously told TODAY.com.
Did Bruce Willis retire?
Yes, it was announced that Bruce Willis was retiring from acting in March 2022, when his family revealed that he’d been experiencing aphasia. Aphasia is a symptom associated with dementia and other illnesses that causes difficulty with communication, both in speaking and understanding written and spoken language.
What is Bruce Willis’ health condition?
Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which includes a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, his family announced in February 2023.
FTD impacts the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Its onset begins earlier than other degenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, and symptoms start on average around age 58, according the Cleveland Clinic. Unlike other forms of dementia, memory difficulties aren’t the hallmark symptom of FTD.
“Most people, when they think of the word dementia, they think problems with memory and Alzheimer’s disease, but FTD doesn’t really show up as problems with memory. … It affects how people behave, how they interact with others and how they speak,” Dr. Sami Barmada, director of Michigan Brain Bank and associate professor of neurology at University of Michigan Medicine, previously told TODAY.com.
Primary progressive aphasia is a type of FTD, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Aphasia can also be caused by a stroke, and in these cases the loss of ability to speak is usually sudden. But with progressive aphasia, as Bruce Willis likely has, it usually starts out mild and gets worse as time passes, Barmada said.
Other common symptoms of FTD include apathy or unwillingness to talk, changes in personality and becoming more depressed, lack of social skills and obsessive behavior.
“It doesn’t look like a dementia or something that you can put your finger on. … Very often you’ll hear people say they just started to act really weird, and they’re not the same person,” Barmada said.
What is the life expectancy of someone with frontotemporal dementia?
The average life expectancy for someone with frontotemporal dementia, which Bruce Willis has, is seven to 13 years after diagnosis, per the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration. Cleveland Clinic said the life expectancy is seven and half years, while Barmada told TODAY.com that 10 years or longer is considered a good prognosis.
Jennifer Lopez may have been embracing the snowy vibes of Aspen, but you’d never guess it from her sizzling Instagram post.
Shared memorable moments The glamorous ski town of Aspen has been buzzing with A-listers lately, with stars like Bella Hadid, Mariah Carey and Heidi Klum.
Just a few weeks ago, superstar Jennifer Lopez took to Instagram to share a reel from her trip to Aspen, Colorado, giving followers a peek into her winter getaway.
The hitmaker shared a few more memorable moments from her week-long getaway, including some adorable snapshots with her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
One jaw-dropping photo in particular had JLo flaunting her famous curves in a black string bikini.

Instagram/@onthejlo To finish off the look, the singer paired the bikini with a stylish cowboy hat and cozy furry snow boots — definitely not your typical Aspen attire, but she made it work.
The reel was a perfect mix of stunning Colorado scenery and heartwarming moments, with clips of Lopez skiing and enjoying time with her family and friends.
“We’ll be back Aspen,” she captioned the post, leaving fans wondering when the next trip will be.
People couldn’t help but comment on her jaw-dropping physique, with many praising her dedication to fitness. The 55-year-old continues to wow fans, proving that age is just a number. As followers zoomed in on her photos, they couldn’t help but notice her incredible shape—her toned body and impeccable fitness left everyone in awe.
1 80 Instagram/@onthejlo After being spotted earlier that week with Yellowstone star Kevin Costner, it looks like his iconic ranch style might be starting to rub off on Jennifer Lopez. During her Aspen trip, she made a stop at the renowned cowboy hat store Kemo Sabe, so maybe she was simply rocking some fresh new pieces from her shopping spree.
JLo’s Aspen vacation came right before her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck was finalized. According to USA Today, the couple called it quits in April 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences.” After just two years of marriage, they officially filed for divorce in August.
What some may not know is that this wasn’t their first time around the block. Nearly two decades ago, Lopez and Affleck were engaged, having met while filming a romantic comedy in 2002. Unfortunately, their engagement ended, with both blaming the pressure of media attention for their split.

Getty In the aftermath of their recent divorce, Lopez spoke candidly about her emotional journey in an interview with comedian Nikki Glaser. The singer revealed she made the difficult decision to cancel her “This Is Me… Live” tour, explaining that she needed time for herself. “I was taking time off to be with my children, family, and close friends,” she shared.
Reflecting on the difficult period, Lopez added, “And I’m glad I did, because it was a really difficult time for me. Probably the hardest time of my life, but it was also the best time because I got to do that work on myself.”
While her personal life may have been challenging, Lopez’s strength and resilience continue to shine through — especially when she’s looking this stunning in a snowy paradise.

The political climate in the United States has sparked heated debates and personal decisions, particularly in light of Donald Trump’s recent return to the presidency as the 47th President of the United States. Following his inauguration on January 20, 2025, Trump made history by becoming the first person convicted of a felony to assume the highest office in the nation. This unprecedented event has both captivated and divided public opinion, igniting fears about the direction of the country under his leadership.
Many Americans have expressed concerns over how Trump’s presidency might impact their lives, and among them are numerous high-profile celebrities. Some of these public figures have shared their apprehensions openly, while others have reportedly begun taking steps to leave the U.S. entirely, citing fears about the country’s direction under Trump’s administration. Notably, a significant number of these individuals are women, reflecting broader anxieties about gender policies and social justice under Trump’s rule.
Below is a detailed look at celebrities who have either already relocated or are seriously considering leaving the U.S. due to Trump’s presidency.
Eva Longoria: Finding Solace Abroad Actress Eva Longoria was among the first to confirm her departure from the U.S. Longoria now splits her time between Spain and Mexico, expressing concerns about the potential implications of Trump’s policies. Speaking to Marie Claire, she described her anxiety:
“If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place. I’m privileged—I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”
Longoria’s move underscores a growing trend among celebrities who fear that Trump’s policies may lead to increased societal divisions and a rollback of progressive values. By relocating, Longoria aims to find a more stable and supportive environment for herself and her family, distancing herself from the political turmoil brewing in the U.S.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi: Starting Fresh in the UK The beloved talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have reportedly moved to the Cotswolds in the UK. According to an anonymous source cited by The Wrap, the couple has vowed not to return to the U.S. while Trump remains in office. The move highlights their desire to distance themselves from the current political landscape, prioritizing a quieter, more stable life abroad.
DeGeneres and de Rossi’s relocation also reflects concerns about the increasing hostility towards LGBTQ+ individuals under Trump’s administration. As vocal advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, the couple may feel that staying in the U.S. could expose them to greater risks and challenges, prompting their decision to seek refuge in a more accepting environment.
America Ferrera: Prioritizing Family Overseas Actress America Ferrera is said to have relocated her family to the UK, where she is reportedly exploring school options for her children. While she plans to maintain a professional presence in the U.S., a source told the Daily Mail that Ferrera is prioritizing her children’s education and well-being:
“She’s not abandoning the U.S.; she’s prioritizing her life and focusing on what’s important for her kids.”
Ferrera’s move underscores the personal impact of political decisions on families. By relocating, Ferrera aims to provide her children with a stable and supportive environment, free from the uncertainties and potential threats posed by Trump’s policies. This decision highlights the broader implications of political instability on the personal lives of public figures and their families.
Barbra Streisand: A Vocal Opponent Iconic singer and actress Barbra Streisand has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, previously stating she would consider leaving the U.S. if he regained power. During an interview with Stephen Colbert, Streisand did not mince words:
“I would move. I can’t live here under an administration like that.”
While Streisand has not yet confirmed her plans, her strong opposition to Trump suggests a potential relocation could be on the horizon. Streisand’s influence and vocal stance against Trump’s policies amplify the concerns of many who fear a regression in civil liberties and social progress under his administration.
Laverne Cox: Seeking Safety Abroad Actress and activist Laverne Cox has voiced her concerns about remaining in the U.S., citing fears of being targeted as a public figure, particularly as anti-trans rhetoric escalates. Speaking to Variety, Cox shared her apprehensions:
“As a public figure, with all my privilege, I’m scared. I feel like I could be targeted. I think they spent close to $100 million on anti-trans ads. It’s deeply concerning.”
Cox is reportedly considering a move to Europe or the Caribbean, regions known for their progressive stances on LGBTQ+ rights. Her potential relocation reflects the heightened sense of vulnerability among transgender individuals and allies in the face of Trump’s policies, which many perceive as hostile to gender diversity and inclusivity.
Cher: Weighing Her Options Pop icon Cher initially planned to leave the U.S. following Trump’s 2016 election victory. While she has since decided to stay, a source told the Daily Mail that her decision stems from her family commitments. “She’s infuriated by the outcome, but she also knows that running will not solve anything,” the source explained.
Cher’s internal conflict mirrors that of many celebrities who grapple with the desire to protest policies they disagree with while balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Her choice to remain in the U.S. highlights the complex interplay between political convictions and practical considerations in decisions to relocate.
Sharon Stone: Eyeing a Move to Italy Actress Sharon Stone has previously expressed interest in moving to Italy, calling it an “intelligent construct” given the current political climate. However, insiders suggest that while Stone is frustrated with the state of U.S. politics, she remains a patriot at heart and is unlikely to leave anytime soon.
Stone’s contemplation of relocation underscores the emotional toll that Trump’s presidency has taken on prominent figures. Her comments reflect a broader sentiment of disillusionment and the search for environments that align more closely with personal values and aspirations.
Minnie Driver: Torn Between Two Worlds British actress Minnie Driver, who has lived in Los Angeles for decades, expressed mixed feelings about staying in the U.S. under a Trump administration. Speaking to The Times, Driver explained:
“If I lived in a red [Republican] state, no, I couldn’t. But living in California, you are somewhat insulated. But do you want to go and live in a bubble? Do you run away from the fire, or do you go back and help?”
Driver’s dilemma highlights the nuanced decisions faced by celebrities who balance their desire to remain in the U.S. with their discomfort with the current political environment. Her reflections emphasize the broader debate about engagement versus withdrawal in times of political upheaval.
Vivian Wilson: Elon Musk’s Daughter Looks Abroad Vivian Wilson, the estranged trans daughter of Elon Musk, has also voiced her intention to leave the U.S. regardless of her father’s political affiliations. Posting on Threads, she wrote:
“I don’t see my future being in the United States. Even if he’s only in office for four years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Wilson’s decision is a stark reminder of how political climates can influence personal and familial decisions. As a public figure with a prominent family background, her choice to relocate underscores the profound impact of Trump’s policies on individual lives, particularly within marginalized communities.

The Broader Impact of Celebrity Relocation The decisions of these high-profile individuals to relocate or consider leaving the U.S. have broader implications beyond their personal lives. Their actions can influence public opinion, inspire others to voice their concerns, and potentially shift the cultural landscape of the nation.
Cultural Influence Celebrities hold significant sway over public perception and societal norms. Their decisions to leave the U.S. can serve as a powerful form of protest, signaling widespread dissatisfaction with the current administration. This trend can amplify calls for political and social change, encouraging more individuals to engage in activism and advocacy efforts.
Economic Ramifications The departure of influential figures can have economic consequences, particularly in industries such as entertainment, technology, and philanthropy.

This increased scrutiny can lead to greater public pressure on lawmakers and government officials to address the concerns raised by these departures. Additionally, it can influence voter behavior, as the decisions of beloved public figures may resonate with their fan bases and broader audiences.
Social Justice and Human Rights The movement of celebrities away from the U.S. underscores the ongoing struggles for social justice and human rights in the country. As advocates for various causes, these individuals often use their platforms to highlight issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality, and reproductive freedoms.

‘The View’ Co-Host Turns Heads Over Husband’s Latest Allegations The new year has started on a troubling note for Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, the husband of The View co-host Sunny Hostin. Dr. Hostin, a prominent orthopedic surgeon, is one of nearly 200 defendants named in one of New York’s largest-ever RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) lawsuits. He faces serious allegations related to federal insurance fraud, accused of taking kickbacks in exchange for unnecessary surgeries.

According to the lawsuit filed on December 17, 2023, Dr. Hostin is accused of engaging in fraudulent practices by performing surgeries—specifically arthroscopic procedures—and billing American Transit, a major insurance company that covers taxi, Uber, and Lyft drivers. The lawsuit claims that Dr. Hostin received improper payments disguised as “dividends” or other forms of compensation for referring patients to certain medical facilities.
Hostin’s attorney, Daniel Thwaites, strongly denies the allegations, calling the lawsuit a “blanket, meritless” attack from a struggling insurance company. Thwaites asserts that American Transit failed to investigate the claims thoroughly and is using the legal system to harass healthcare providers. He also defended Dr. Hostin’s record, stating that his client’s reputation remains untarnished.

Sunny Hostin, who is 56, has been married to Dr. Hostin for over two decades. The couple, who wed in 1998, have two children and reside in an upscale estate in Purchase, New York. Sunny, a former prosecutor and now senior legal correspondent for ABC News, frequently shares aspects of her personal life on The View. From candid discussions about her family to touching moments about her infertility struggles, she has been open with her audience about her journey.
The couple’s life together has not been without its challenges. In 2021, Sunny tragically revealed that both of Dr. Hostin’s parents, who were both doctors, died of COVID-19 during the holiday season.

American Transit has accused Dr. Hostin of receiving illegal kickbacks for referring patients to a surgery center in exchange for payments. The insurance company claims that Dr. Hostin performed unnecessary surgeries on accident victims who suffered only minor injuries, violating the “No-Fault Law” in New York, which is designed to cover medical expenses for accident victims. The insurer argues that fraudulent claims like these drive up premiums and harm the public by destabilizing the insurance market for ride-share and taxi drivers.
American Transit is seeking over $450 million in damages in this case, alleging that fraud is a rampant issue in New York’s insurance industry. The insurer claims that the abuse of the No-Fault Law has led to millions in improper payments, inflating the costs of insurance and raising premiums for hard-working taxi and livery drivers.

Some, like William Natbony of American Transit, argue that it’s essential to fight fraud to protect consumers, while others, such as defense attorney Steven Harfenist, suggest the lawsuit may be a last-ditch effort by American Transit to recover lost funds by targeting smaller medical practices that might settle out of court to avoid lengthy litigation.
As the legal drama plays out, both Sunny and Dr. Hostin face a challenging road ahead, as their public lives and family reputation are tied to the outcome of this high-stakes case.
