Retirement isn't supposed to be a financial obstacle course. But for many retirees, it becomes one — not because they didn't save enough, but because they're avoiding the very decisions that could protect what they've already built. Small postponements and wishful thinking can quietly spiral into serious money problems.
Financial advisors see it happen again and again: retirees who put off critical decisions until the damage is done. Here are five avoidance moves that consistently undermine retirement security.
Without a realistic retirement plan, it's easy to spend more than your savings can actually support.
"What makes this especially difficult is that the conversation goes beyond just the numbers," explained Linda Grizely, financial wellness and behavioral finance speaker. "It can feel like a judgment about lifestyle, independence and past financial choices."
Most retirees keep doing what feels comfortable and hope it works out. Instead, Grizely recommended mapping your cash flow, spending, income, investments, taxes and account withdrawal strategy. Revisit this at least annually and whenever spending, markets, taxes, health or life circumstances shift.

Ash Gardner has spoken publicly for the first time about the alleged affair with teammate Georgia Voll that contributed to the breakdown of her marriage to Monica Wright.
Gardner said the situation became far more public than she expected and admitted she had been "naive" about the level of attention it would attract.
The controversy came to light earlier this year when Wright revealed the affair on social media. The relationship is believed to have begun during the Women's World Cup in India last year. Gardner has since apologised to Wright and said she has spent time reflecting on what happened.
Speaking to Australian outlet CODE Sports, Gardner acknowledged that her public image had taken a hit, saying, "My reputation has been tarnished with the public, but I guess something that I always try to strive to do when representing any team that I play in is be the best teammate that I can, and hopefully show what this team means to me when I'm playing for them."
The Australian vice-captain also said being a high-profile athlete means personal matters can attract intense public interest.
"Playing sport at a high level, you're open to having a platform, and sometimes with this comes interest from the public, and they want to know things about your personal life, and they invest, and then can make judgment either way of what you are or aren't doing."
Gardner admitted she was shocked when Wright publicly identified Voll, writing, "This is who my wife cheated on me with," alongside a photo of the teammate.
"I was certainly surprised, as you could imagine," Gardner said.
She added, "I certainly didn't expect the situation to take the path that it did, or to become as public as what it did. But I also understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with difficult situations."
Gardner said she now wants to focus on learning from the experience, having difficult conversations where necessary and moving forward with the Australian team.
She also said she understood Wright's perspective and tried to remain positive during what she described as a very difficult period.

Rick Ross was arrested in Miami Beach on Thursday on two domestic violence-related battery charges stemming from an alleged incident at his home in August. The rapper, whose legal name is William Roberts II, faces one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor battery charge.
Ross voluntarily surrendered to Miami Beach police and was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center shortly after 6 a.m. on October 1. CBS12 reported from Miami-Dade court records that Ross and attorney Bradley ****** nstein filed a written plea of not guilty and demanded a jury trial.
Ross later bonded out and denied the allegations while speaking to reporters outside the jail. "I'm totally innocent of these fabricated allegations made against me," he said, according to WSVN 7News. His legal team has likewise said he is being wrongfully accused and asked that the case be allowed to proceed without prejudgment.
The arrest report describes an alleged August 28 confrontation involving a woman who said she had been in a relationship with Ross and living with him. The allegations have not been adjudicated, and Ross is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
According to the arrest affidavit reviewed by CBS12, the woman went to Miami Beach police on September 29 to report an incident she said had occurred about a month earlier. She told investigators that Ross became angry after seeing an Instagram photograph in which she had been tagged and questioned her about another person.

FleetCor and CEO Ronald Clarke agreed to a $100 million payment resolving Federal Trade Commission litigation. The settlement follows years of court action over hidden charges involving commercial fuel cards. Harm reached tens of thousands among small-business customers seeking lower operating costs. Regulators say promised savings disappeared beneath undisclosed billing practices.
Federal regulators accused FleetCor, which now operates as Corpay, of imposing unauthorized fees totaling hundreds of millions. Investigators found improper late penalties despite timely remittance or company barriers that prevented payment. Officials cited misleading claims about gas savings, fraud controls, plus card-related expenses. Those practices harmed operators across the United States, according to a 2019 complaint.
Regulators found FleetCor often waited several billing cycles before adding many charges. Delayed timing made extra costs harder for customers to notice. Invoices omitted fee disclosures, pushing account holders toward separate management reports. Even those documents obscured some amounts among unrelated details or excluded them entirely.
"FleetCor deceived its small business customers by promising fuel savings that never materialized," Christopher Mufarrige said. He directs FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. Agency officials also criticized hidden and unauthorized charges. Settlement terms channel restitution toward harmed account holders.
In 2023, one federal district court granted summary judgment to the FTC on every count. Its ruling found hidden charges and false representations involving savings, fees, plus fraud-control features. Permanent injunction terms barred FleetCor from billing without informed consent alongside clear disclosures. That order also prohibited deceptive fuel-card claims or hiding material information behind hyperlinks.

Britain's royal family has taken the unusual step of publicly challenging claims made by Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, in his upcoming memoir.
Departing from the monarchy's traditional "never complain, never explain" approach, Buckingham Palace responded Wednesday to Spencer's recollection of a phone call between himself and King Charles, in the wake of Diana's death in 1997. According to Spencer, the call took place after Spencer objected to Prince William and Prince Harry, then 15 and 12, walking behind their mother's coffin at her funeral.
In an excerpt from the book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister published by Britain's Daily Mail, Spencer wrote, "He unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death. 'Rest ****** ured,' he hissed, 'we'll forget her soon enough.'"
While the palace didn't directly address whether the comment was made, the statement questioned the reliability of Spencer's recollection, saying, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss."
The statement echoes the palace's reaction to claims made by Harry and Meghan Markle during their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey that an unnamed royal had made a remark about their son's skin color before he was born and that the monarchy failed to help a suicidal Meghan. A response issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II at that time said that "recollections may vary."

Break a proposed role into its recurring tasks and sort them into four categories — judgment, relationship, repetition and coordination — to determine whether you truly need to hire another person.
If the bottleneck is mostly judgment or relationship work, hiring or developing a person is probably the right answer. If the bottleneck is mostly repetition, test automation before adding permanent headcount.
If the bottleneck is mostly coordination, redesign the process first. If the job contains all three, separate the workflow so the human role is built around the work that deserves a human.
Before you approve the next hire, write down the 10 things you expect that person to do.

Queen Camilla has reportedly put the royal ambitions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on notice. The report came after the Sussexes made a striking return to the UK with their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, last month. The return came six years after the Sussex couple started living in the US after stepping down from their roles as working royals.
Queen Camilla has allegedly pushed her husband, King Charles, to draw a line with his youngest son, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, after they moved back to the UK. As reported by RadarOnline, sources reported that the Queen consort of the United Kingdom had concerns that the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex's return to Britain could blur the boundaries between the monarch and the Sussexes.
In the meantime, a royal insider claimed that Queen Camilla knows how the idea about the monarchy can turn complex very fast. Thus, she reportedly felt "determined" that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK move should not be seen as the start of any "restoration" of their previous royal positions. According to the insider, Queen Camilla's "feeling was that everyone – the Sussexes, officials and the public – needed absolute clarity from the outset."
The source also explained that no one should "underestimate" the "influence" Queen Camilla has on her husband, King Charles. The source then said, "She is somebody whose judgment he trusts enormously, particularly when difficult family questions risk becoming institutional problems. Camilla believed allowing uncertainty to linger would simply store up a much bigger confrontation later."
Meanwhile, another insider told the news outlet that Queen Camilla's move is not about stopping the King from having a relationship with Prince Harry and his kids. "The distinction Camilla was concerned about was between the private family and the public monarchy," the insider added.

On August 13, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD), upholding a preliminary injunction that bars the defendants from importing or facilitating the sale of foreign-market Gilead-branded medications in the US. The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit found that the differences between Gilead's HIV medication for the US market and the foreign versions being imported were "material, not theoretical." The controversy began in December 2024 when Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) filed suit against a number of companies, including third-party administrator Meritain Health, pharmacy benefit manager ProAct, and pharmacies Rx Valet and Advanced Pharmacy, alleging illegal imports of its best-selling HIV drug Biktarvy.
The dispute dates back to December 2024, when Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) sued a group of companies, including third-party administrator Meritain Health, pharmacy benefit manager ProAct, and pharmacies Rx Valet and Advanced Pharmacy, alleging illegal imports of its top-selling HIV drug Biktarvy. The lawsuit arose from a specific instance in which a patient in Maryland received the medicine in the mail from Turkey, with label instructions written in Turkish.
A federal district court in Baltimore ruled in Gilead's favor and ordered a preliminary injunction, determining that the company was likely to succeed on its Lanham Act trademark violation and unfair competition arguments. As the case continued, the injunction was increased to include new sellers like CanaRx, ElectRx, and ScriptSourcing. The defendants filed an appeal with the Fourth Circuit, and the district judge declined to suspend the injunction while the appeal was pending, thus the import restriction has been in effect the entire time. The recent ruling maintains the order rather than overturning it.
In court documents, Rx Valet stated that the Turkish-sourced Biktarvy was chemically identical to the US version, which was offered at a significantly higher price. Meritain, for its part, said that it has never supported getting non-FDA-approved pharmaceuticals from outside the US and denies the claims, despite being named as a defendant.
The Fourth Circuit rejected the defendants' main argument that the imported and domestic versions of Biktarvy are interchangeable. The court's judgment that the two versions differ materially, not just in packaging or labeling, but also in the quality-control protocols that each version goes through before reaching a patient, challenges the basic argument that these alternative funding programs have used to support their business model.

Atlético Tucumán head coach Julio César Falcioni made harsh accusations against the refereeing after the defeat to River Plate. The experienced manager expressed his outrage over decisions he believes harmed the Tucumán side.
"If Atlético is a problem, they should let us know," Falcioni fired back to the media. The coach claimed there was a foul on Canelo that should have led to a red card for a River player, openly criticizing the lack of judgment from both the main referee and the officials in the VAR booth.
With his trademark blunt tone, the coach ended his remarks without holding back: "It surprises me that some things are judged one way and others differently. Looks like River's band is working again. I can tell right away when I'm getting screwed."

Tyrique Stevenson hasn't always had the smoothest tenure with the Chicago Bears. But it's easy to let specific demonstrations of lapses in judgment or other second-year struggles back in 2024 get in the way of the perception of a player that actually improved considerably in 2025.
After grading as the league's 86th-ranked (of 117) cornerback two years ago, Stevenson worked his way up to 50th last season with an overall grade of 64.4 from Pro Football Focus. Much of that, however, was pinned down by a 70th-ranked grade in coverage (59.6), despite an 85.5 run defense grade that had him third at the position. Even that former number was, technically, an improvement from the year prior.
Regardless of Stevenson's upside or limitations (the spectrum of which fans have seen both sides across his three seasons), this is a player obsessed with exactly one thing.

Sexyy Red could be facing a $5 million judgment in a lawsuit brought by the grandmother of one of her children, but the money has not been awarded.
Nicole Barnes is asking a judge to enter a default judgment after claiming the rapper failed to respond to the case, according to new court documents obtained by TMZ. Barnes sued ****** yy Red in March 2025 over allegations that the rapper posted her home address online and encouraged followers to attack her.
Barnes says ordinary efforts to serve the lawsuit were unsuccessful and that she later served ****** yy Red through publication in a newspaper. She now argues that the lack of a response entitles her to a default judgment for $5 million.
Sexyy Red is disputing the underlying case. Her attorney Jason Lampert told TMZ that the claims are "baseless and completely without merit" and said the rapper categorically denies the allegations and intends to defend herself. The judge has not yet ruled on Barnes' request.
Barnes filed the lawsuit on March 24, 2025, after an alleged social-media incident the previous December. The complaint alleges that ****** yy Red, whose legal name is Janae Wherry, posted Barnes' Hazelwood, Missouri, address and a photograph of her home on Facebook before encouraging her followers to "kick in the door" and harm her.

Egyptian television presenter Sarah Khalifa has been sentenced to death, but the Sept. 5 judgment does not end her legal fight.
A Cairo Criminal Court sentenced the 39-year-old presenter and 11 other defendants to death after convicting them in a major synthetic-drug manufacturing and trafficking case. Prosecutors had charged 28 people in connection with the alleged network.
Khalifa has repeatedly denied involvement. Her lawyer, Mohamed El-Gendy, now says she is expected to sign appeal papers Tuesday, Sept. 15, beginning another stage in a case that has drawn attention far beyond Egypt.
Egypt changed its felony appeals system in 2024. A Felony Appeals Court can reconsider the evidence, the prosecution's case and the role attributed to each defendant before a death sentence becomes final.
The Cairo Criminal Court convicted Khalifa and 11 co-defendants of participating in an organized criminal group involved in obtaining materials used to manufacture synthetic narcotics for trafficking.

Buc-ee's has won another legal battle to protect its famous beaver mascot.
A federal judge has ordered South Carolina clothing retailer Born United to pay more than $850,000 after the company admitted to infringing on Buc-ee's trademark, according to the Greenville News, part of the USA TODAY Network. The judgment permanently prohibits Born United from using Buc-ee's beaver logo or any mark considered "confusingly similar."
The order also requires Born United to destroy merchandise bearing the disputed logo, remove advertisements featuring it and could require the company to pay Buc-ee's attorney fees if it violates the terms of the judgment.
The ruling is the latest victory for the Texas-based travel center chain, which has aggressively defended its trademarks as it expands across the United States. Buc-ee's has filed a number of lawsuits in recent years against businesses it says copied elements of its branding, including its recognizable smiling beaver mascot.

Kim Zolciak is reportedly six figures in debt.
On Thursday, September 10, Us Weekly reported that the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum, 48, has about $150,000 in debt, according to two separate lawsuits the outlet obtained.
One lawsuit showed that Headway Capital sued the Bravo star in April, claiming they "provided [Zolciak] with a revolving line of credit" for her now-defunct business, 8 Busy B's LLC, and she allegedly defaulted on those payments totaling almost $75,000.
The company wrote in the lawsuit that the reality TV personality owes "the total principal amount of $74,983.89, accrued interest at the contract rate through August 13, 2024 in the amount of $55,650.14, plus pre-judgment interest at the legal rate from August 14, 2024, and statutory post-judgment interest."

One lawsuit showed that Headway Capital sued the Bravo star in April, claiming they "provided [Zolciak] with a revolving line of credit" for her now-defunct business, 8 Busy B's LLC, and she allegedly defaulted on those payments totaling almost $75,000.
The company wrote in the lawsuit that the reality TV personality owes "the total principal amount of $74,983.89, accrued interest at the contract rate through August 13, 2024 in the amount of $55,650.14, plus pre-judgment interest at the legal rate from August 14, 2024, and statutory post-judgment interest."

Kim Zolciak is facing nearly $150,000 in alleged debts as she deals with ongoing legal issues involving her family. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star faces two separate lawsuits over unpaid debts. The cases involve money tied to her former business and a credit card account. Both lawsuits remain ongoing.
According to Us Weekly, Headway Capital sued Zolciak in April 2026. The financial company claims she entered a business-use line of credit agreement for 8 Busy B's LLC. The company alleges Zolciak did not repay $75,000. Headway Capital is seeking $130,634.03, including interest.
According to court documents, Headway Capital claims Zolciak owes $74,983.89 in principal. The lawsuit also lists $55,650.14 in accrued interest through Aug. 13, 2024. Headway Capital also seeks prejudgment interest from Aug. 14, 2024, plus statutory post-judgment interest. Zolciak received the lawsuit papers at her Georgia home from a Gwinnett County sheriff's deputy on June 23. A hearing set for Aug. 8 was later canceled, and the court has not set another date. Zolciak has not responded to the lawsuit.
Zolciak also faces a separate lawsuit over an alleged unpaid credit card balance. Portfolio Recovery ****** ociates, LLC sued her on July 13 and claims she owes $16,759.51. The company says it bought the debt from Barclays Bank Delaware in May 2024. The lawsuit says Zolciak "failed to make payments" and "defaulted" under the agreement.
According to an affidavit, a process server made more than 10 attempts to serve Zolciak at her former home. Security reportedly said she no longer lived there, while several calls went unanswered. The process server's most recent attempt was on Aug. 22.

It's a family affair!
Zac Efron and Dylan Efron have never been shy to show off their ripped bodies whenever they go on vacation together and their recent boat getaway is certainly no exception.
In a new Instagram carousel posted by Dylan Efron, the handsome reality star poses shirtless next to his older brother as they take in the views on the water. Although Zac Efron might not be wearing his signature Baywatch Speedo while on the family vacay, the duo looks like they're having the time of their lives as summer comes to a close.
Throughout the post, fans can also see Dylan Efron golfing, spending time with his dog, and even ordering food in a drive-through at In-N-Out. The brothers definitely deserve some relaxation time as Dylan Efron had his breakout year in 2025 after winning season 3 of The Traitors and making it all the way to the finals on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.
Zac Efron, on the other hand, has quite a busy schedule with quite a few acting gigs lined up for the future. He's going to star in and executive produce a highly anticipated Angel Heart series, which is slated to drop next year or in 2028. In terms of movies, the actor will star in the psychological thriller Famous and the comedy film Judgment Day, with both scheduled to drop later this year.

Let's be brutally honest, ladies. If someone had told us back in 1996 that Pamela Anderson - the slow-motion running, red-swimsuit-wearing, ultimate 90s bombshell - would one day become our leading philosophical guru for embracing midlife, we probably would have choked on our Diet ******* es. But here we are, fiercely navigating our own second acts, and surprisingly, it's Pam who is serving up exactly the kind of rebellious, bare-faced wisdom we didn't know we desperately needed.
Pamela Anderson keeps her makeup-free philosophy as she attends the amfAR Gala Venezia 2026 (@ Getty Images for amfAR)
Who can forget that Pamela was the poster girl for an impossible standard of hyper-glamorous beauty. With the heavy lip liner, bleach, and frosted eyeshadow, she really went for the more-is-more approach to beauty. But in more recent years? She has gloriously changed tack. She has stepped onto the world's most heavily photographed, judgmental red carpet arenas completely makeup-free (or minimally made-up sometimes). She lets her freckles shine, her fine lines show, and her natural skin breathe. And honestly, the collective sigh of relief from women over 50 could be heard from ******* e.
Pamela Anderson went for a more is more approach back in the nineties (@ WireImage)
Because let's face it: the 'anti-ageing' industry is downright exhausting. We are constantly bombarded with marketing campaigns telling us to freeze, fill, lift, and aggressively scrub away every single sign that we have actually had the audacity to live past our fortieth birthdays. It's a relentless, outrageously expensive treadmill. We are commanded to fight aging as if it's a disease, rather than the profound privilege it actually is.

Sidney Starr's family and inner circle are speaking out after a judge refused to release the reality star from jail. Starr, whose legal name is Sidney Favors, remains locked up on felony charges involving a 13-year-old boy, but those closest to her say the accusations do not match the person they know—and that she is unraveling behind bars.
"Sidney is still in good spirits and asks that the public try not to make a judgment of guilt based on this decision," her camp said in a statement following the bond hearing.
Her manager, however, offered a far grimmer account of Starr's condition. "She's not doing well at all," the manager told TSR Investigates. "She tears up. She cries on the phone just about how scared for her safety she is."
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Starr's friends were equally adamant that the allegations are out of character. "We're gonna get through this," one supporter said outside the courthouse. "This is not her at all."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Embarrassing. An embarrassment. And more embarrassing beyond that.
The Kyle Whittingham era was supposed to embody toughness, discipline, playing smart, and doing things the right way. After saying all of the right things and appearing to be confident in what Michigan football would bring to the table in his debut in Ann Arbor, Whittingham's team was not only the opposite of everything he espouses, it was a debacle in every way. The Wolverines were a miracle away from, at best, the second-worst loss in program history, and given what the head coach's teams had been for two-plus decades in Salt Lake City, it's a head-scratcher.
The opening offensive drive was as impressive as the rest of the game was bad. Despite mistakes, quarterback Bryce Underwood sliced through the Western Michigan defense like a hot knife through ***** er, making what ended up being fall camp bluster look prescient. But that was it. 75 yards on the opening drive, and a 47-yard Hail Mary aside, it accounted for all but 154 yards accumulated all game. The offense, against a supposedly overmatched foe, made the Sherrone Moore-era offense look like the air raid by comparison. The defense got off the field, surrendering little in terms of points, sure, but it also allowed the Broncos to hold the ball for over 40 minutes, including a 13-minute, 40-second drive spanning from the third to fourth quarters. When the offense got the ball back, it quickly relinquished possession after three plays, managing seven yards on first down before deciding that moving the ball forward was anathema to its goals.
And then there were the other mistakes: missed ***** ignments, an ***** ortment of penalties, and all-around bad play. It wasn't just the opposite of what was expected; it was the opposite of how Whittingham's teams in Utah played for 21 years.
"I'm going to reserve judgment on that until I dissect the film," Whittingham said after the game. "But we talked about how we improved dramatically through fall camp. That's a fact. I mean, there's no one that attended practice that wouldn't tell you anything different. We had former players there, and everybody had the same ***** ysis. And so, and we're not -- I'm not saying that Bryce played a bad game. This isn't on Bryce Underwood. This is, like I said, it's on me, and I've got to figure out a way to have these guys better prepared and be able to get into a rhythm offensively. It's like we never got into a rhythm after that first drive. We always found a way to screw it up. We were like 0-for-5 or 0-for-6 before we converted on third down. And you just can't win football games like that. We were very fortunate to win, obviously."

The 1991 blockbuster sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day gave Edward Furlong many happy memories. The corresponding fame, not so much.
"Growing up in the spotlight is really hard," Furlong told People in a recent interview. "It's tough enough as an adult to be able to navigate… just being a human being and making mistakes, and whatever, when you got a spotlight on you … it's tough."
Furlong was 13 when he filmed his screen debut in Terminator 2, playing John Connor, son of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor. The actor, now 49, told People that he was "spoiled rotten" to be working with a director as commanding as James Cameron, that costar Arnold Schwarzenegger was "the definition of professional," and that Hamilton made Furlong "that much better being able to act alongside her."
After other screen roles in films including 1992's Pet Sematary Two , 1993's A Home of Our Own, and 1998's American History X, however, Furlong's acting career got sidelined amid substance use and personal troubles.

Pittsburg football coach Charlie Ramirez couldn't have been more complimentary about the St. John Bosco-Bellflower juggernaut program his Pirates will host Friday in a showdown of state-ranked teams - Sports Illustrated has the Braves No. 2 and Pittsburg No. 9.
His judgment was largely based on a Week 4 2024 road trip the Pirates made to the four-time state and two-time national champion. He used terms like "first-rate" and "classy" when describing the treatment Bosco coach Jason Negro and director of football operations Jessie Christensen afforded the Pirates.
"We're going to make sure that we give them proper welcoming and acknowledgement for them making this journey up here," he said. "We're going to throw out our orange (team color) carpet and try to extend them all the same courtesy."
Right down to the scoreboard.
It's doubtful Pittsburg will be able to hand Bosco an identical - even similar - defeat as the Braves beat the Pirates 35-14 that season, but they'll surely give it the old college try.

The Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial continues in Colorado, as he tries to have a massive judgment of $11.89 million discharged.
Via Olivia Doak of the Boulder Daily Camera, Shilo Sanders took the witness stand on Tuesday.
He disputed prior testimony that painted him as the aggressor in a 2015 altercation that left John Darjean, who was a security guard at Shilo's school, with serious injuries. Shilo said that Darjean was "getting aggressive" and "attacked and **** aulted" Shilo. He added that Darjean choked him.
Other witnesses said they did not see Darjean choke Shilo Sanders.
The fight happened after Darjean attempted to confiscate Shilo's phone.

DENVER – Former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders testified at his bankruptcy trial here Tuesday, Sept. 1, that a security guard at his school "attacked and ***** aulted" him in 2015 — not the other way around as a Texas state court found in 2022 when it issued an $11.89 million judgment against Sanders.
Sanders, son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, testified the security guard, John Darjean, also caused him to fear his life, choked him, caused him to "black out" and starting tearing the skin off his arm when he grabbed it in an attempt to confiscate his phone at school.
Sanders testified he was in "excruciating pain" because of it and was "choke-slammed" by Darjean into a corner, causing him to "hit my head as hard as possibly could happen."
"I literally have proof of both of his hands tearing my skin off," Sanders testified.

Chris Brown asked a court to excuse him from an examination, arguing that his nationwide tour created a scheduling conflict. His former housekeeper, Maria Avila, wants to review his finances in connection with a $13 million judgment against him.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Brown opposed appearing in court. Avila wants to examine his finances and bank statements as she seeks to determine how Brown could pay the judgment.
Brown argued that his current touring schedule created a conflict and that he could not simply take time away. The singer also said discussions were underway about extending the tour. Brown is currently touring alongside Usher.
The examination was scheduled at the Van Nuys courthouse. Brown argued that he could not be forced to attend there and said he lives in Las Vegas. The singer said his home was more than 150 miles away.
Avila is seeking to collect the $13 million judgment. The award stemmed from allegations involving a dog attack that allegedly occurred at Brown's Los Angeles home.

Rumer Willis filed an emergency custody order to keep her ex's visits with their daughter supervised.
The daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis alleged that Derek Richard Thomas has a "lack of judgment that endangers the minor."

While most of America spent last week mourning the loss of country music legend Dolly Parton, some Drag Race fans spent 9 to 5 trying to stir up controversy with an AI deepfake.
A post accusing Ginger Minj of faking a photo with Parton went viral on social media in the wake of the "Jolene" singer's death, leaving Ginger open to accusations of lying and dividing the Drag Race fandom.
Fans of the franchise have been mired in controversy lately. Between the queens fighting it out over Onya Nurve's comments on the Minoritea Report podcast, where she said her castmates couldn't relate to her because they didn't win and she did, and Art Simone begging fans to stop sending her hateful messages, it seems like the Drag Race drama never ends.
Minj is the newest queen to fall victim to the judgment of fans who claim that this "fake" photo with Parton is just the latest thing Minj has been caught lying about.

Rumer Willis has asked a judge to keep her ex Derek Thomas' visits with their daughter supervised.
She claims he has repeatedly violated custody orders and exercised dangerous judgment around their child, TMZ reports.
According to court documents, Willis filed an emergency request seeking to prevent supervised visitation from ending while the court considers the ongoing dispute.
The eldest daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore claims Thomas' supervised visits, which began on 20 June, have only amounted to five and a half sessions because of various disputes involving the nannies ***** igned to supervise his time with their three-year-old.
The filing raises additional concerns about what Willis characterises as unsafe decisions involving their daughter. She claims Thomas wanted to cross a five-lane highway with a 55mph speed limit while accompanied by the child, and allegedly chose to walk approximately two and a half miles in extreme heat rather than rent a car.
The 90210 actor is asking the court to immediately continue supervised visitation and prevent overnight visits until a hearing can be held.

Opening arguments began in a California-led trial against Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META), brought by a coalition of 29 state attorneys general alleging the company designed Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children and teens. New Mexico's attorney general warned the consequences for Meta could be "astronomical."
Meta already lost a case in New Mexico that will cost it nearly $1 billion, but California's case, backed by far more states and a much larger population, could be dramatically more expensive.
That raises the real question: is Wall Street underpricing the real financial risk of this trial, or is the New Mexico result already the worst case investors need to worry about?
As of August 17, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)'s stock is down only 12.52% this year. Even though the mounting legal pressure and most ******* ysts' concern so far have focused on Meta's AI infrastructure spending, which could reach $145 billion this year, rather than fears about the ad business itself. Meta has said the state coalition's "limited claims are unsubstantiated and their financial demands are vastly disproportionate." The New Mexico judge already ruled some of the plaintiffs' broader design-change requests would be unfair since rivals like TikTok and YouTube would keep the same features.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, fresh off winning nearly $1 billion from Meta in his state alone, warned "you could wake up with a headline judgment that is...astronomical," and said mapping that result onto a state as large as California could be "a potentially massive and market-shifting force." Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)'s own attorneys have said the consolidated case could lead to damages as high as $1.4 trillion. The states' own lawyers estimate a more likely $200 billion. Meta gets 98% of its revenue from online advertising, an extraordinarily concentrated exposure to whatever penalties this case produces. UCLA's Julia Powles said, "California matters more than any other jurisdiction in the U.S."

Meta already lost a case in New Mexico that will cost it nearly $1 billion, but California's case, backed by far more states and a much larger population, could be dramatically more expensive.
That raises the real question: is Wall Street underpricing the real financial risk of this trial, or is the New Mexico result already the worst case investors need to worry about?
