Trace Adkins says he has forgiven his second wife, Julie Lauren Curtis, for shooting him through the heart and lungs during an argument more than three decades ago.
The country singer revisited the near-fatal 1994 incident during a July 28 appearance on This Past Weekend With Theo Von.
Although Adkins joked that Curtis "took it a little far," he also described the point-blank gunshot as a "kill shot" that he would not have survived without emergency medical care.
Adkins declined to press charges after the shooting. He now says he does not believe Curtis fully understood what the gun would do when she pulled the trigger.
"That took it a little far, I thought," he told Theo Von. "That was uncalled for. That was totally uncalled for. Just leave. Let's just call it quits, and we don't have to go that far." According to Adkins, Curtis was angry and wanted him to leave their home, but he refused. During the argument, she placed the gun beneath his left arm. When he told her to give it to him, she fired.

King Charles is reportedly hoping Prince Harry's upcoming UK visit will create an opportunity to ease long-running tensions within the Royal Family. The claims come as reports suggest the monarch has been working to make the Sussexes' return as smooth as possible ahead of their expected visit.
Prince Harry is widely expected to travel to the UK in July for events connected to the Invictus Games. Reports suggest Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, could also join him. Recent reports have claimed that King Charles has offered the Sussexes accommodation during their stay. Further, he wants to spend time with his grandchildren, whom he has reportedly not seen in person since the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.
According to one insider, the monarch now believes the family's prolonged estrangement has gone on long enough and sees the upcoming visit as an important opportunity to reopen communication. "Charles has become increasingly emotional about the situation between William and Harry because, from his point of view, far too much time has already been lost. There was a period where he accepted that neither side was ready to move forward, but he's now become convinced that if this family is ever going to heal, somebody has to step in."
A source claimed King Charles has become increasingly determined to help bridge the divide between Harry and William. According to the insider, the King believes resentment has grown over the years. The individual also claimed that he has encouraged "William that carrying around this level of resentment is helping **** ody."
The source further alleged that Charles views, "July presents the best opportunity they're likely to get, and he doesn't want it wasted. He knows there's every chance the meeting could be uncomfortable, but he firmly believes it's now or never." While King Charles is reportedly optimistic about the visit, reports indicate Prince William remains reluctant to reconcile with his younger brother.

Prosecutors in New York have dropped a rape charge against Harvey Weinstein after his accuser Jessica Mann declined to withstand another retrial.
"To be clear, we believe Ms. Mann's account and her credibility as a witness," Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg said in a Thursday statement. "This has been an extraordinarily taxing ordeal for her, and she has never wavered while testifying in front of two grand juries and three trial juries over the course of eight years. We thank her for her honesty and her tremendous bravery."
However, Weinstein will remain behind bars due to his other New York ***** ual felony conviction, as well as those in California.
The disgraced movie mogul was facing one charge of third-degree rape for an alleged incident in 2013 involving former aspiring actress Mann. The case previously ended in a June 2025 mistrial followed by another mistrial last month due to a deadlocked jury.
Last year, Weinstein was found guilty of first-degree ***** ual ***** ault for forcibly subjecting former "Project Runway" production ***** istant Miriam Haley to a ***** act in 2006. He was acquitted on a second charge of ***** ually ***** aulting former model Kaja Sokola, also in '06. This is all in addition to the 16-year sentence the producer is facing in California, following his conviction in December 2022; though that verdict is under a similar appeal that got his initial 2022 New York conviction thrown out.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tom Dreesen, who along with partner Tim Reid formed one of America's first interracial stand-up comedy duos and later spent years as Frank Sinatra's opening act, died Wednesday. He was 86.
Dreesen died at his home in Los Angeles, according to publicist Lori De Waal. A cause of death was not provided.
After meeting in Chicago, Dreesen and Reid, who was Black, formed "Tim and Tom" in 1969. Against a backdrop of simmering racial tension, they used humor to address social issues and promote understanding between audiences of different backgrounds. They worked together until the mid-1970s. Reid went on to solo success playing DJ Venus Flytrap on the popular TV sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati," where Dreesen was a guest star.
After splitting with Reid, Dreesen honed a solo comedy act, making over 500 national TV appearances, including 60 visits to "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." He also was a frequent guest and sometime guest host on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Their friendship dated to the early 1970s when both worked at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, California.
Dreesen's final TV appearance came last week on "Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen," which replaced Stephen Colbert's canceled CBS late-night show.

"We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift's wedding all happening at the same time," Mamdani added with a smile.
