Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has announced that he is stepping back from the national team, saying he felt "humiliated" by his exclusion and subsequent reinstatement after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The top scorer in the history of the Panthers was singled out by the Gabonese government as responsible for the AFCON failure.
"They humiliated and smeared me even though I played at the AFCON while injured," the 37-year-old said in a television interview.
"This is the last straw, and I'd rather stop here."
Gabon were eliminated from the AFCON in the group stage after three defeats, the last of which came against Ivory Coast.

Miss Michigan USA Amber Uhler began her pageant journey nearly five years ago, when she set her goal to compete in a beauty pageant
Uhler, at the time, had reservations about the goal, as she weighed nearly 300 lbs. at the time
However, speaking with PEOPLE, she opens up about the moment she realized she wanted to prioritize her health and how her pageant dreams helped her achieve that goal
Five years ago, Amber Uhler set what, back then, seemed like an "impossible" goal.

At the time, Uhler, a mom to three, weighed 300 lbs. She tells PEOPLE of attending a doctor's appointment, where she was told, "You're morbidly obese, you're pre-diabetic, you're on a path to an early grave, and you're probably not going to live to see your kids graduate high school."

For Uhler, that appointment set in motion what she calls the "wakeup call" she "needed."

That same weekend, Uhler opens up about the moment she jumped into a foam pit at a trampoline park while playing with her children. "I got stuck, and ****** ody could get me out," she says. "Three big, beefy muscle men formed a human chain to try to pull me out, and even they couldn't do it, and they thought they were going to have to call the fire department. I've never been so humiliated in my life."

Prince William and Kate Middleton apparently faced a difficult moment after King Charles met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In fact, it is speculated that the private reunion has reopened old tensions within the Royal Family. According to royal sources, the development may have even prompted serious discussions behind the scenes. Now, a crisis management expert has offered a different perspective on what the reported talks could have involved.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to have been upset after King Charles held a private meeting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Highgrove House. The reunion reportedly lasted only a few hours, but its impact may have been far greater.
Royal expert Emily Andrews described the reaction as one of feeling "betrayed and possibly even humiliated." Her comments, published by Woman & Home, suggested the meeting may have been particularly difficult for the Waleses given the history between the two brothers.
Harry and Markle stepped away from royal duties in 2020 and later discussed their experiences with the Royal Family publicly. William and Harry have remained estranged, with recent reports indicating there has been no movement toward a reconciliation between the brothers.
Meanwhile, Charles has appeared more open to maintaining a relationship with his younger son and grandchildren. The Highgrove meeting reportedly included Markle and the couple's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It marked a significant family moment, even though no reconciliation between Harry and William was reported.

Ireland Baldwin, the daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, has wished Perez Hilton a speedy recovery, despite years of being bullied by the blogger.
"Perez Hilton has [publicly] humiliated my family for years, ******* ualized me from a young age, commented on my weight and body (as a child), made unforgivable comments about people in my family, drew [expletive] coming out of my mom's and friend's mouths, and has always been a despicable human being," Ireland, 30, shared via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, August 5. "But his children deserve better and a healthy father and I am so sad for all of them. I hope he gets the help he needs and heals."
The model's words were shared hours after Hilton, 48, was rushed to the hospital after Miami-Dade County Police received numerous calls about his distressing livestream.
Hilton was seen on TikTok Live on August 4 covered in what appeared to be blood. He was wielding a butcher knife and harming himself.

A rare photo of Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi together appeared to send a clear message amid ongoing marriage rumors, but it may not have had the intended effect.
The duo was seen cozying up with art curator Aliki Lampropoulos while on a trip to Athens, Greece, celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary in July. It was an opportunity for the couple to spend time together since Mozzi's schedule keeps him on the road and away from Beatrice and their children, Sienna Elizabeth, 3, and Athena Elizabeth Rose, 1, quite often. He also shares son Christopher Woolf, 10, with ex-girlfriend Dara Huang.

Why Prince William & Kate Middleton Allegedly Feel 'Betrayed' & 'Humiliated' By King Charles
Even though the snapshot was not on their official Instagram accounts, palace insiders believe that Lampropoulos' Instagram Story post was a way for the couple to shut the rumors down. "They were clearly keen to show a sense of unity – the smiles were not accidental," a source told RadarOnline.

A royal expert claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton feel "humiliated" after Prince Harry's reunion with King Charles. This is because they wanted to keep their distance from the Sussexes. They also hoped the monarch would do the same and allegedly believed the private meeting should not have happened.
Royal expert Emily Andrews said that Prince William and Kate Middleton may have felt "humiliated" following the Sussexes' return to the UK for the reunion. This is because they were firm about maintaining their no-contact boundaries with the Sussexes and hoped the monarch would follow it too. However, that doesn't appear to be the case, given recent reports suggest King Charles is extending an olive branch to Prince Harry to stay at Buckingham Palace on his next visit.
Andrews notes that the reunion has been a win for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. She further explains that Harry's exit from the royal family, along with the criticisms and alleged betrayals that followed, continues to sting the family.
As a result, the future king remains firm in his stance toward his younger brother and allegedly believes the reunion should not have happened. She further claimed that the monarch's first duty is to "the heir and his wife" and not "the spare."
She further touched upon how the Sussexes are focused on their personal gains, benefiting from the royal status and not officially accepting the duties. This half-in/half-out arrangement was previously rejected by the late Queen Elizabeth II and doesn't sit well with the Waleses either.

The disrespect for the reigning Super Bowl LX champions Seattle Seahawks continues to grow. At this point, the growth is a daily feature. I'm talking specifically about the disrespect leveled at the Seahawks by the popular Madden video game franchise.
In the latest edition of the game, Madden 27, the team at EA Sports have been releasing their top 10 rankings for various positions, units and even teams. Seattle's elite defense was mightily disrespected earlier in the week, as Madden 27 had them as only the 10th best unit in the game. Out of the position rankings (defensive tackle, edge, linebacker, cornerback and safety) only one Seahawk - Devon Witherspoon - cracked the top 10 in any of those lists. Players like Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II, Ernest Jones IV, Julian Love and Nick Emmanwori were nowhere to be seen.
Now, the disrespect continues to an equally insulting degree. On Friday, Madden 27 released their top 10 rankings for teams overall. Yes, Seattle did make the cut... but only barely. According to Madden 27, the Seahawks are only the 10th best team in the game. As for those ahead of them, well, just take a look for yourselves.
The Seahawks obliterated the 49ers in the Divisional Round, outlasted the Rams in the NFCCG (one missed field goal from going 3-0 against them last year) and humiliated the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

Madden had put Seattle below all three. https://t.co/iQqX3umMZ3
Aside from the three teams I have listed in the tweet above (all with good reasons I laid out, of course) the other two insulting placements come in the form of the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens. The No. 3 and No. 4 ranked teams, really? Detroit finished 9-8 last season and weren't particularly good at anything, at least when compared to the Seahawks of course. As for the Ravens, they were 8-9 and missed the playoffs like the Lions did as well. I know Baltimore had injuries they dealt with, but they always have injuries! Not to mention they will be rolling with a first year head coach in 2026.

Anchor Ryan Clark was fired from ESPN during a live broadcast of his NFL Live show.
Recently, anchor Ryan Clark, 46, was fired from ESPN during a live broadcast of his NFL Live show. Many critiqued ESPN's decision to fire Clark mid-show, but the network defended its decision, citing fears that Clark would find out the news through the grapevine. In an episode of The Pivot Podcast post-firing, Clark claims he adjusted who he was to keep his job at ESPN, specifically stating that he felt he couldn't be "too Black."
ESPN declined an official comment regarding these claims, directing Forbes to a memo Chairman Jimmy Pitaro sent to employees on July 21 that stated the following: "Over the past several months, we've made significant progress integrating the NFL ***** ets that we acquired into ESPN. Throughout this process, we have taken the time to carefully evaluate our collective teams, resources and organizational structure to best position us for the future. As a result, we had to make some difficult decisions about job impacts that we will be communicating today. While most of the job impacts are tied to the acquisition, we will also notify colleagues in other parts of the company today that their positions have been impacted. We are committed to treating employees with compassion and respect and to providing support as they navigate this transition. Even in moments like these, the strength of ESPN comes from our people, our teamwork and our shared mission to serve sports fans."
In 2019, actor Gabrielle Union, who was a judge on the TV show America's Got Talent was told her hair was "too Black."
Clark is not unique in his experiences. Workplaces that make Black employees feel like they must tone down their Blackness are a persistent experience across different fields and industries. In 2019, it was reported that actor Gabrielle Union, who was a judge on the TV show America's Got Talent: The Champions, was told her hair was "too Black." That same year, actor Reagan Gomez-Preston alleged in a series of tweets that while filming for That 70s Show, she had to tone down her Blackness and was humiliated by a white male director who critiqued every scene, making remarks asking her for "less sass."

The Ohio Cup is officially Cleveland's for the 2026 season. Yippee.
The Cleveland Guardians beat the Cincinnati Reds in last night's series finale 6-1 behind a four-run fifth. Joey Cantillo was scoreless, but had a high pitch count and only threw four innings. Erik Sabrowski, having not pitched in nearly a week, earned the win. The team has a much needed off day before they start a two series homestand. Cleveland will host the Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend and the New York Mets to start the post trade deadline portion of the baseball season.
Tom Hamilton said, on last night's broadcast, that the team is "actively trying to improve" at the trade deadline but could not elaborate further.
The time to scoreboard watch is now. As the Guardians were defeating the Reds, the New York Yankees gave up a four run lead late in the game against the Chicago White Sox, tying the game at 4-4 going into the ninth. The White Sox ultimately walked it off in the twelfth inning.
The Detroit Tigers were humiliated by the Baltimore Orioles. Behind Tarik Skubal, who threw his 1000th strikeout yesterday, the Tigers gave up a seven run lead to lose 10-9 in extras.

Jennifer Lopez is feeling humiliated after her first husband, Ojani Noa, gave a bombshell interview about her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, a source tells In Touch.
"J. Lo is very sensitive when it comes to Diddy. His name is totally off limits and everyone in her world knows better than to bring him up," reveals the source. "So the fact Ojani is out there dredging up these old stories and shining a light on that very unfortunate part of her history is infuriating and deeply triggering."
Speaking to The US Sun, Noa, 52 — who was married to the Selena star from 1997 to 1998 — alleges that she cheated on him with Combs, 56, and that he got into a heated confrontation with the rapper at her **** istant's birthday party in 2001.
"Truth is, J. Lo's ashamed she ever dated him and this just underlines to her what terrible judgment she showed at the time," the source says of her two-year romance with Combs, who is currently serving time behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Mauricio Pochettino was asked about his future as the head coach of the US Men's National Team after a crushing exit at the hands of Belgium in the FIFA World Cup.
The USMNT were humiliated by Belgium in their Round of 16 fixture, losing 4-1 to end the hosts' tenure at the World Cup.
With the team's run in the tournament now over, all eyes were on head coach Mauricio Pochettino and what his future would be.
Speaking to reporters after the game, USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino revealed he would not be addressing his future with the team as things stand.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and PSG coach said he would go on vacation before discussing his future with USMNT officials, with whom he has a 'very good relationship.'

Once upon a time, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were as thick as thieves. Then, once Lively found herself in legal trouble, their friendship deteriorated. And now, after Travis Kelce and Swift's wedding, where they reportedly snubbed Lively, the friendship may never ever recover.
Insiders told Rob Shuter for his Naughty But Nice Substack: "Blake and Ryan will never forgive Taylor for this. They feel completely humiliated. Everyone noticed they weren't there, and that's the kind of public embarrassment you never forget."

Why Taylor Swift's Name Choice Matters
"When virtually every major celebrity in Hollywood is under one roof and you're not, people immediately start asking questions," they added. "The optics couldn't have been worse. If Taylor wanted to send a message, she couldn't have made it any clearer."

Spain were humiliated and laughed at following their 0-0 tie to begin the World Cup against the small nation of Cape Verde.
But after Sunday’s action, not only have Spain climbed back into the top 10 of the power rankings after being in the bottom half following their first match day, but that tie to Cape Verde isn’t looking so embarrassing now that the same small nation drew against Uruguay.
Lamine Yamal started his first-ever World Cup game after coming off the bench at the end of their contest with Cape Verde, and he was a major factor early, scoring the first goal on the day in Atlanta to get his team relaxed following what happened last week.
Alongside Spain, another big mover up the board to end the week was Egypt, who are now in pole position to win their group after beating New Zealand by a scoreline of 3-1. Belgium, the heavy favorites, have not gotten out of the gates two games in, drawing with Egypt in their first game before going goalless alongside Iran in another draw on Sunday. If Egypt can beat Iran in their final game, Belgium at best can only finish second in their group, and that’s depending on if they can beat New Zealand.
It has not been a good tournament for Belgium, who will continue to be in the bottom half of our rankings and are on the verge of toppling outside the top 30 depending on how other teams do in the coming days.
