Ex-Prince Andrew is reportedly fully "convinced" that he will emerge victorious in his legal case against the police. Multiple publications reported that the disgraced former Duke of York would be pursuing legal action against the Thames Valley Police over his headline-making February arrest. Notably, Andrew has demanded a judicial review of whether the circumstances of his arrest were lawful.
Ex-Prince Andrew is reportedly positive that he will win his legal case against the Thames Valley Police. For those unversed, the search warrants were issued in February over suspicions of misconduct in public office and allegations concerning his ties to convicted **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, eight months after the incident, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly pursued legal action against police who arrested him and searched his homes earlier this year. A private hearing regarding the case is scheduled for Thursday, October 8. Ahead of the hearing, the disgraced royal is "utterly convinced" he will win the legal battle (via The Sun).
A source alleged that the former Duke of York feels "upbeat" and "buoyant". Also, he is sure of the fact he will be "completely exonerated" one day. The insider added that Andrew views the judicial review as the "first step" towards clearing the allegations and restoring his reputation.
Notably, Andrew's older brother, King Charles, stripped his brother of royal **** les. The king also banished him from royal accommodation. The disgraced prince disappeared from royal life and stopped making official public appearances.

Harvey Weinstein allegedly tried to spend $1.75 million from behind bars to influence the jury pool in his New York ****** crimes case, according to prosecutors, who say they have recordings of the disgraced Hollywood producer discussing the offer with a podcaster.
The stunning allegation emerged via The New York Post during Weinstein's sentencing for ****** ually ****** aulting former Project Runway production ****** istant Miriam "Mimi" Haley. Manhattan ****** istant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told the court that Weinstein offered the money during a jailhouse phone call in an effort to release videos that could reach potential jurors—and even people already seated on the case.
According to Blumberg, the material was intended to help Weinstein's defense by "contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials." She accused Weinstein of engaging in a "scheme to disrupt the trial and instill fear in his victims."

Prosecutors did not publicly identify the allegedly involved podcaster. Candace Owens, however, released a 2025 podcast series ****** led Harvey Speaks that featured jailhouse videos of Weinstein, leading to speculation that she was the podcaster offered the handsome payout.

Disgraced music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs isn't exactly living a bare-bones life in prison, according to a report from NBC News published Tuesday.
The rapper has allegedly set up a cushy lifestyle inside New Jersey's Fort Dix correctional institution, where he has fellow inmates catering to his basic needs and is said to have access to contraband liquor and a cellphone.

"This is not some normal **** you see in jail," a man who lived in the same unit as Combs at the low-security prison told NBC News. "This is some rich ****. It looks crazy, but again, it's Diddy."
The Bad Boy Records boss, who is serving a 50-month sentence for prostitution-related offenses, reportedly pays men to cook for him, make his bed and do his laundry, in addition to someone who gives him what NBC described as "Chinese-style massages."

Nathan Fielder's upcoming documentary on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has caused some strong reactions online, and now it's become one of the biggest meme formats of the year.
The memes are all about the people in our lives who swear they're not deceiving us when we know deep down that they are, and some of them hit a little too close to home.
So, what is the Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder "Why Would I Deceive You?" meme, and what is the context behind it? Here's what you need to know.
The teaser trailer for Nathan Fielder's documentary You Can See Everything was released on September 6th, 2026, and the documentary follows disgraced former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes days before her arrest for fraud related to the company.
For those who don't know, Theranos claimed to have revolutionary blood-testing technology that, after investigations, did not do what it was advertised to do. In the years following the fraud exposure, the company was ultimately dissolved, and Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors.

Nkechi Diallo, the disgraced former NAACP official, formerly known as Rachel Dolezal, is embarking on a new career as a ******* coach.
Diallo shared the news on Instagram on Saturday (September 12), writing, "I'm thrilled to share that I've graduated from the ******* ology Institute's 300+ hour certification program — and that Bandwidth, my online intimacy and relationship coaching practice, is officially open!"
"This work is personal," she continued. "As a single mom of three boys, I know what hypervigilance, burnout, and carrying the mental load do to connection — and I believe joy, closeness, and aliveness in your body aren't luxuries. They're capacities we can design, develop, and expand.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian presidential candidate Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion for receiving millions of dollars from a disgraced banker to finance a movie about his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Brazil's top court unsealed several documents late Thursday that show Sen. Bolsonaro, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's primary opponent, is under investigation for receiving 61 million reais ($12 million) from a banker at the center of a corruption scandal to produce an unreleased movie ******* led "The Dark Horse."
The investigation, which centers on whether the Bolsonaro family misused the funds and whether the payments were properly reported to Brazilian authorities, threatens to undermine Sen. Bolsonaro's bid for the presidency. The first round of elections is slated for Oct. 4, and the senator is locked in a tight race with Lula.
The banker, Daniel Vorcaro, who was arrested in March, is accused of defrauding many of Banco Master's 800,000 clients, including several state government pension funds, out of hundreds of millions of dollars by convincing them to make questionable investments. The scandal has engulfed several high-ranking officials in Brazil.
The allegations first became public in May. Sen. Bolsonaro has denied any wrongdoing and said Friday during a campaign event in the Amazonian city of Manaus that he was seeking private investment for the movie.

Ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor once faced unexpected resistance from a royal family aide. Despite losing his prince **** le and royal honors, the palace staffer's actions reportedly left the disgraced royal shocked. King Charles later revoked Prince Andrew's royal status as the monarchy faced continued backlash over his ties to convicted **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Former Buckingham Palace press secretary **** ie Arbiter has recalled a never-before-heard clash with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
During his appearance on the Daily Expresso podcast, Arbiter revealed that he rejected one of Andrew's demands during a royal garden party. He later hung up on the ex-prince after the ousted royal slammed the phone down on him.
The episode unfolded at Buckingham Palace during the Lambeth Conference, the decennial summit of Anglican bishops. Around 100 clergy in crimson robes were in attendance when Andrew rang Arbiter with an idea for a picture.
The former palace official shared, "He phoned me up one day during a garden party at Buckingham Palace and said, 'Get some chairs out because I've got a good idea for a photograph.' There were about 100 priests in their crimson frocks at the garden party, and he thought it would make a good picture of the Queen with all the clergy around her. I just said, 'No, it's not your garden party.'"

On a cold November morning, designer Isaac Mizrahi gets up, leaves his apartment, and trudges to the corner newsstand to pick up a copy of Women's Wear Daily. It's the day after Mizrahi's Spring/Summer 1994 show, and the ink on the reviews is still wet. Reading from the pages, he quotes, "'His usually great color sense failed him, his fabric sense failed him, and certainly, his sense of how a modern woman dresses after 8 p.m. failed him." The verdict is withering. Mizrahi, one of the great artists of '90s ready-to-wear fashion, has been tossed out. Disgraced. Lightly "cancelled," as some might call it these days.
Douglas Keeve's sublime 1995 documentary, "Unzipped," follows Mizrahi in the aftermath of a train wreck, piecing his reputation back together with his next collection, attempting to make something beautiful from the rubble. We find Mizrahi's world in grayscale, drained of color in the wake of critical and cultural failure. Then, the opening notes of Sandra Bernhard's 1994 cover of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" cue the pigmentation, cascading over bright images of models in fittings, garments hanging from racks, and plenty of DayGlo faux furs. In her version, Bernhard alters the lyrics to pay tribute to Sylvester, whose untimely death left an immense legacy. "Sylvester, sister," Bernhard coos, "You were so beautiful, you were so fragile, you were so . . . real."
But just before Bernhard finishes the word, the song fades to silence, as if to say that realness — genuine authenticity in your life and work, at the cost of criticism — will always be snuffed out before it can be fully appreciated. That is the price of beauty. What is up must always come down.
(Janus Films) Isaac Mizrahi in "Unzipped"
After years in cinematic obscurity — the film hasn't been readily available outside of the eBay market in decades — "Unzipped" will return to theaters later this month, with a loving 4K restoration from Janus Films, just as another fashion-world controversy is heating up. Earlier this week, the Metropolitan Museum of Art declared it would no longer proceed with its Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition honoring John Galliano, scheduled to debut next year. When the scrapped "John Galliano: Horizons" was announced in July, the exhibition was immediately met with an outpouring of criticism. Detractors accused the museum of being tone deaf, citing a 2011 video of Galliano going on a drunken antisemitic and racist rant at a Paris bar, for which Galliano was promptly ousted from his spot as creative director at Dior. Following the video surfacing, Galliano apologized, went to rehab, and, over the last few years, experienced a brand resurgence that some would call a whitewashing.

The former **** ss of York is expected "back in the UK shortly", a source close to her has told the BBC.
Sarah Ferguson was thought to be living abroad after she was forced to move out of Royal Lodge in Windsor, which she shared with her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in October.
Ferguson had last seen in public at the **** ss of Kent's funeral the previous month.
She is reportedly renting out a gated property in the Home Counties, according to the Sun newspaper.
Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson relinquished their royal **** les following increased scrutiny and revelations surrounding their links to disgraced financier and **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Socialist Nithya Raman drew loud groans and hisses from a crowd of Democrats during the Los Angeles mayoral debate after she fumbled while explaining her decision to hire the political consulting firm behind disgraced former Senate candidate Graham Platner's campaign.
After winning the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Maine, Platner, also a socialist, dropped out of the race in July after several ****** ual misconduct allegations. Even before the allegations arose, Platner had stirred significant controversy over his history of inflammatory statements and a chest tattoo critics say resembles a well-known ****** symbol. Though he continues to deny the ****** ual misconduct allegations and maintains his innocence, Platner remains an embarrassment for many Democrats after several prominent figures in the party endorsed and praised him.
During the debate Wednesday night, Raman, a Los Angeles City Council member and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Los Angeles chapter, faced questions over her decision to hire the consulting firm Fight Agency.
"[It was] reported that you've hired the same political consulting firm that managed Graham Platner's campaign in Maine, who had to resign amidst ****** ual ****** ault allegations. Is that true? And is that the best choice? And why did you make that decision?" the moderator asked.

Former Prince Andrew has had scandal after scandal, and it was only recently that he was stripped of his ******* le and ordered to vacate his home at Royal Lodge. So, what changed? His close ties to Jeffrey Epstein were widely known for years, and the British royal family never took a firm stance with him. If anything, they're guilty of letting him get away with too much for too long.
According to RadarOnline, what changed was Kate Middleton. The outlet pointed to her and Queen Camilla as the key figures in Andrew's "downfall" and his ban from Sandringham. The disgraced ex-prince is currently under investigation for suspicion of misconduct in public office and ******* crimes.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor became a grandfather again following the news that his daughter Princess Eugenie welcomed her third child last week. However, the disgraced former Duke of York is reportedly 'unlikely' to see his newborn granddaughter, a royal author has claimed.
After being stripped of his royal **** les last year following renewed scrutiny over his links to convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew retreated from public life and has been living in exile on his brother King Charles' Sandringham estate. Meanwhile, his daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, have continued to lie low as they navigate the ongoing media scrutiny surrounding their father and mother, Sarah Ferguson.
"Relations with their father are particularly fractured and complex as daughters take on board each new disturbing disclosure about Andrew," Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York, alleged to the Daily Mail.

Diddy's projected release from federal prison has taken another unexpected turn after officials updated his release date for the latest time.
The revised timeline comes only days after the disgraced music mogul appeared to receive an earlier release, adding another twist to a sentence that has already been adjusted several times.
The newest change also arrives in the wake of reports that Diddy was involved in a prison fight that allegedly resulted in him being placed in solitary confinement.

Just when it appeared Diddy's projected release had been shortened once again, the timeline shifted in the opposite direction.

Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' planned release date from prison has been moved up by 12 weeks—just two weeks after the disgraced music mogul sold the Miami mansion he once put up for collateral in his failed bid for bail in his ****** -trafficking case.
Combs, 56, was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July 2025 and was initially sentenced to 50 months in prison. That sentence was later extended by a month after he allegedly violated multiple rules while behind bars.
In March, Page Six reported that the rapper's release date had been pushed up from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028, due to his participation in a drug rehabilitation program that helps inmates reduce the amount of time they spend behind bars.
However, ABC News is now reporting that the release date has been further pushed up to Jan. 24, 2028. No reason has been given for the new anticipated release date, and a representative for Combs declined to comment to ABC News.
This update comes just two weeks after the rapper sold his Star Island mansion for $55 million.

A Grade II-listed house in Windsor Great Park, Royal Lodge served as a childhood country retreat for the late Queen Elizabeth. For Her Majesty, the Georgian-style estate, which boasts 30 rooms, a swimming pool, chapel, and several cottages, held many childhood memories, and to this day, Y Bwthyn Bach – the two-storey thatched playhouse gifted to Elizabeth in 1932 – stands on its 98 acres of land.

While the late Queen spent her final years at Windsor Castle, and of course, her beloved Balmoral Castle, Royal Lodge remained in use, and from 2004 to 2026, was the home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The property has remained empty ever since King Charles' disgraced brother was evicted from his home of 24 years in February following a string of scandals, including concern over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Following his arrest on 19 February, Andrew, 66, is facing allegations of misconduct in public office, with police investigating claims that he shared confidential information during his appointment as the UK's trade envoy.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was reportedly sent to solitary confinement after he was involved in a fight with a fellow inmate this week.
The disgraced rapper allegedly sparked a brawl inside Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security prison located in New Jersey, after he was insulted by another prisoner.
The inmates reportedly got into a heated altercation and exchanged shoves and jabs before they were separated by prison guards, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, Diddy was then thrown into solitary, although it is unclear if the other inmate also faced the same fate.
It also isn't clear if Diddy is still there, but his spokesperson said they were "unable to confirm this [report] at the moment" when asked for comment.

Disgraced former FIFA President Sepp Blatter has called for the sport to be reclaimed under new leadership, ****** erting that the World Cup has forfeited its credibility on American soil.
The World Cup has finally drawn to a close after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the Final, but while the soccer itself proved entertaining, the tournament was not without controversy. President Donald Trump attended Sunday's Final alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino and refused to leave the stage as Spain lifted the trophy.
The match also kicked off late and was disrupted by a 27-minute halftime show, which significantly exceeded the standard 15-minute halftime break. Additional contentious talking points dominated discussions throughout the tournament, prompting Blatter to take aim at FIFA on social media, via The Mirror US.

Bill Cosby's finances are facing intense scrutiny as a woman who won a $60 million civil judgment against him moves to collect the award. The latest court filings seek a detailed accounting of the disgraced comedian's ******* ets, including everything from bank accounts to royalty payments and intellectual property.
The post-judgment discovery marks another major development in the ongoing legal battle between Cosby and plaintiff Donna Motsinger. According to newly filed court documents, her attorneys are casting a wide net to determine which ******* ets could be used to satisfy the multimillion-dollar judgment.
RadarOnline reported that Motsinger's legal team served extensive post-judgment interrogatories seeking information about nearly every aspect of Cosby's financial life. The requests reportedly cover checking and brokerage accounts, cash holdings, private equity investments, business interests, real estate, automobiles, aircraft, jewelry, artwork, collectibles, retirement accounts, insurance policies, cryptocurrency, safe deposit boxes, and storage units.
The filing also seeks information about income-producing ******* ets, including royalties, licensing payments, residuals, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property. According to the report, Motsinger's attorneys are attempting to identify every possible source of revenue that could help satisfy the judgment entered against Cosby in March.
The outlet reported that the requests extend beyond Cosby's personal finances. Attorneys are also seeking information about his wife, Camille Cosby, including ******* ets held in her name, jointly owned property, trusts, financial accounts, income sources, and any marital agreements that could affect ownership of ******* ets.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office is accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of attacking the Jewish state to distract from his record in New York after calling Netanyahu a "war criminal."
The prime minister's office fired back Sunday after the Democratic mayor said his administration was exploring whether it could arrest the Israeli leader during an expected visit to the city under the International Criminal Court's warrant.
"The ICC is a kangaroo court that has no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis," Netanyahu's office wrote in an X post Sunday, amid recent reports he is nearing a trip to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump.

"Its bogus arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu was issued by a disgraced former ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan, a few days before allegations of ******* ual misconduct against him became public," Netanyahu's office said. "It was a clear attempt by Khan to divert public attention and seek protection from scrutiny."

Private equity billionaire Leon Black walked out of his transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee regarding his decades-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after refusing to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements allegedly related to the disgraced ***** offender, according to a transcript of the June 26 interview released by the committee Friday.
While he said he would be willing to talk about three women involved in lawsuits against him, Black repeatedly declined to answer questions about how many nondisclosure agreements he was involved in, citing the advice of his attorneys.
"I'm not here to talk about confidential NDAs," Black said, later adding. "I'm not here to talk about who has NDAs."
Comer subpoenas Leon Black after his refusal to answer some Epstein questions from panel
Black was issued two subpoenas after his refusals -- one compelling him to participate in a deposition and another to turn over any NDAs. A House Oversight Committee spokesperson said Black's attorney confirmed Black would appear for a deposition on Sept. 3, and he will turn over the NDAs sometime next week.

Former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler said she regrets interacting with the late convicted ******* offender Jeffrey Epstein and believes now it was a mistake, according to opening remarks she delivered to House committee investigators as part of a closed-door interview.
"If I knew then what I know now about who Epstein really was, I never would have accepted an initial meeting with him. It was a mistake to deal with him, and I regret it," Ruemmler said, according to prepared remarks provided to CNN. "But many people ******* ume that given everything we know now about Epstein, everyone who dealt with him before his 2019 indictment must have known everything then. In my case, that ******* umption is completely wrong."
Ruemmler was called to testify voluntarily by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee for a closed-door interview as part of the congressional probe into Epstein after numerous news stories scrutinized her ties to the disgraced financier. Reporting from CNN's KFILE detailed the extent of her relationship with Epstein, including that she was among a small group of advisers to help him ward off legal and reputational risk during the final years of his life.
Ruemmler did not specifically address how she sought to help Epstein protect his reputation in her opening remarks but did say, "even though I wasn't his lawyer, he sought my advice from time to time, as many people do. I was friendly with him in that context, and I dealt with him in my ordinary course — casually, informally, and sometimes irreverently." She also said that Epstein was never her client.
She said that she first met Epstein in 2014 — and explained how she came to learn about how Epstein pled guilty in 2008 to charges that included the solicitation of a minor for prostitution along with other offenses and why she continued to engage with him.

Last week, Phil Mickelson’s transition from golf’s golden boy to disgraced and disgruntled former legend seemed to reach its natural conclusion. Reporter Alan Shipnuck, author of the definitive, unauthorized biography of Mickelson, published a detailed story for the golf publication Skratch outlining Mickelson’s history of transgressions, including alleged ******* ual harassment that got him kicked out of a private golf club earlier this year, and infidelity towards his wife, Amy Mickelson.
Now, Phil Mickelson, through a spokesperson, is fighting back against Shipnuck’s report, calling it a “drive-by shooting heavy on implication but unsupported by any on-the-record sources.”
In a more than 700-word statement obtained by David Rumsey in Front Office Sports, Mickelson’s spokesperson attacks Shipnuck directly, claiming the reporter used details provided by anonymous sources to imply certain things about Mickelson without ever firmly reporting the implications as fact.
“[The report] relies on implication and anonymous sourcing to leave readers with an impression the reporting itself never establishes,” the statement read. “The article never says Phil Mickelson was kicked out of a golf club because it can’t. Instead, it is written to leave readers with that impression without ever having to report it as fact.”
Of course, such narrow framing in a piece of this nature is normal. Publications are reluctant to report details as fact unless there is indisputable evidence to support it. For a piece like Shipnuck’s, which relies on conversations with sources close to Mickelson, the reporter cannot always verify without a shadow of a doubt if something is true. Instead, it’s the reporters job to use his/her editorial judgment, corroborate with multiple sources, and present the most accurate version of the story based on the information available.

Harvey Weinstein is facing another setback in his ongoing health battle.
The Oscar-winning producer and disgraced movie mogul was recently hospitalized for "heart and breathing issues," Weinstein's representative, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed to USA TODAY on Wednesday, July 1.
Engelmayer said Weinstein's medical ordeal was exacerbated by a case of pneumonia. He is currently recovering at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.
The Miramax cofounder has experienced a spate of health issues in recent years.
A November 2024 filing from one of Weinstein's lawyers listed medical problems such as chronic myeloid leukemia (bone marrow cancer), diabetes, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnea, thyroid issues, obesity, high blood pressure and chronic back pain. The lawyer, Imran H. Ansari, accused Rikers Island Correctional Facility of having "failed to render proper medical treatment."

Harvey Weinstein is being haunted by another health issue.
The filmmaker reportedly suffered another major health scare related to his heart while he is currently awaiting sentencing in September.
Harvey Weinstein was convicted in Los Angeles for rape and **** ual **** ault, leading to a 16-year sentence in 2022. Although his New York conviction was overturned in 2024, he was convicted again during a retrial in 2025.
The disgraced Hollywood film producer, who is currently incarcerated on Rikers Island in New York City, reportedly experienced heart failure about a fortnight ago, caused by pneumonia.
Weinstein reportedly experienced a hard time breathing when the prison authorities rushed him to Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan. Sources close to the producer told TMZ that he has been receiving treatment at Bellevue ever since.

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.

Prosecutors will not try Harvey Weinstein on a rape charge for a fourth time after his accuser said she did not want to testify again
Weinstein's previous trial ended in a mistrial after the jury remained deadlocked
Weinstein was previously found guilty of a criminal ****** ual act, for which prosecutors have recommended a 20-year sentence
Harvey Weinstein will not face a fourth New York rape trial after prosecutors dropped an outstanding charge after his previous trial ended in a mistrial.
Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul, had been accused of raping hairstylist Jessica Mann, who testified at the previous three trials.

New York prosecutors have chosen not to pursue a rape charge against disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for a fourth time.
The case had already been tried three times, once resulting in an overturned conviction and twice in hung juries. Weinstein's other convictions, including another ***** ual felony in New York and others in California, still stand.
Prosecutors said on Thursday they are dropping the case following discussions with Weinstein's accuser, hair stylist and actor Jessica Mann, who does not wish to go through with the demands of another trial.
"To be clear, we believe Ms. Mann's account and her credibility as a witness," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr wrote in a statement.

Vice President Vance on Wednesday said he was "legitimately worried" about audio tapes of conversations from the Situation Room being leaked to journalists at The New York Times.
His comments come after a recent report alleged that Vance led the administration's response to fallout from the release of files tied to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. A separate report from the Times detailed President Trump's discussions in a series of meetings inside the Situation Room pertaining to U.S. strategy throughout the Iran war.
"There's always an element of truth. There's always an element of nontruth, but there were certain things in there that legitimately made me worried that people were like taping … which by the way is like a felony," Vance said during an appearance on SiriusXM's "The Megyn Kelly Show," where he discussed how the reporting could influence a potential presidential run.
An excerpt from the upcoming book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reports that Vance told Cabinet officials to release all of the files tied to Epstein, including unsubstantiated allegations against Trump.
The report includes direct quotes from Vance, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and White House communications director Steven Cheung, among others, as they reportedly worked to develop a plan to lighten the blow of the Epstein scandal.
