Sidney Starr will remain behind bars after the mother of a 13-year-old boy described the severe emotional toll the reality star's alleged actions have taken on her son. A Fulton County judge denied Starr bond on Tuesday, August 25, siding with prosecutors who argued that her limited connections to the Atlanta area and sizable public platform made releasing her a risk while the felony case proceeds.
According to WSB-TV, the mother addressed the court through a written statement, revealing that her son has needed significant mental health treatment since the alleged encounter. "He is required to attend intensive therapy to begin the healing process for what was done to him," she said.
Starr, whose legal name is Sidney Favors, listened from the courtroom in a jail jumpsuit as prosecutors presented new details about the case.

First came "9 to 5." Then came the business empire, rooted in the place Dolly Parton called home.
Parton, who died Tuesday, was instantly memorialized for her country music fame, glitzy glam and humanitarian touch. At The Old Mill Restaurant in East Tennessee, Tim Fulton was in his office, trying to gauge how many devotees would pour into Dollywood in the coming days.
His restaurant serves up corn grits, barbecue and blackberry cobbler in Sevier County, Tenn., the center of Parton's sparkly empire. Typically, the last weekend of August brings a bit of a lull – right after a popular Jeep expo and just before the Labor Day rush.
Now Parton was gone, a loss he said felt like mourning a family member. He looked up search traffic for flights to nearby Knoxville and expected hotel rooms to book up fast. Indeed, as of midday Wednesday, search interest for "dolly hotel" was up 650% over 24 hours, per Google Trends.
"It may unfortunately turn out to be more of a sad, busy weekend," Fulton said.

LANCASTER – It was a tale of two halves for the Lancaster football team in their season opener against visiting Hilliard Darby.
The Golden Gales were impressive in the first half, especially on defense, shutting out the Panthers to take a 9-0 halftime lead. However, the Gales' inability to move the ball with consistency in the second half proved to be their downfall. As a result, Lancaster's defense was on the floor more than it should have been, and Darby took advantage.
The Panthers rattled off 20 unanswered points in the second half. The Gales kept fighting and scored with 3:40 remaining to cut the margin to a one-score game, but it wasn't enough as the Panthers hung on for a 20- 15 nonconference victory on Friday, Aug. 21 at Fulton Field.

Lancaster certainly played well enough to win, and it was one of those games where they had to feel like they let slip away. The glaring stat was that Darby ran 59 offensive plays compared to just 41 for the Gales.

Summer weather might not be going anywhere in New York City, but Queen Camilla dressed for some fall-like temps in York, England, on August 19. The Queen braved the rain on the first day of the Ebor Festival at York Racecourse on Wednesday, turning to one of Princess Kate's favorite accessories for her equestrian day out.
Queen Camilla, who serves as patron of York Racecourse, stayed dry in a classic tan trench coat over her collared blue dress, carrying one of Queen Elizabeth's beloved clear birdcage umbrellas by Fulton.
The Queen once again chose her sparkling diamond and sapphire ****** erfly brooch— a piece that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth—but it was Camilla's hat that stole the show during the racing festival. Her feather-trimmed, cornflower blue style was a custom creation by milliner Philip Treacy, and it brings to mind several of the hats the Princess of Wales has worn in recent years.

WNBA star Brittney Griner has filed for divorce from her wife, Cherelle Griner, ending eight years of marriage, in Fulton County, Georgia, on Thursday, July 30. The two were married in 2018 but had been living separately since July 24, as per court documents obtained by People. The Connecticut Sun center was already out of the playing lineup due to her left knee injury.
Griner met her 33-year-old partner during her college days at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. They also share a two-year-old son, named Bash. The player is seeking joint custody for their son.
Griner was embroiled in controversy when she was detained in Russia in February 2022, after she was found in possession of vape cartridges with cannabis oil.
Griner's wife, who is an attorney, was her advocate in that case. The player was released on December 8 of the same year in a prison exchange for Viktor Bout.
Cherelle Griner and her WNBA partner were together during the most difficult period of their lives in 2022. After the Russian authorities detained her, she was sentenced to nine years in prison. When she returned home to her then-wife, Griner had a long recovery process, and Cherelle was there for her.

"I understand this can happen when you are a public figure, and I appreciate the support and concern that so many people have shown. … It's important to clarify that Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues."
