Kay Dudley tells POEPLE her mother's lupus experience helped her advocate for her own diagnosis after years of being dismissed
The content creator and husband, Tay Dudley, raises awareness through Lupus Foundation of America events and campaigns
Kay relies on pacing herself and accepting Tay's support while parenting their three daughters
Internet personality Kay Dudley has been incredibly open about what life has looked like while navigating her lupus diagnosis.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Kay, who boasts over 18 million followers across the Instagram and TikTok pages she shares with her husband, Tay Dudley, touches on one of the more specific side effects that she has dealt with as a result of learning to navigate the diagnosis — specifically how it shapes the way she shows up for her three daughters daily.
The pair has made it part of their mission online to spread awareness of the disease, a chronic autoimmune condition that can cause inflammation and pain throughout the body. The two frequently partner with the Lupus Foundation of America to help support the organization by promoting donations and leading walks, including this weekend's Walk to End Lupus Now in New York City, which will take place on Oct. 3.

50 Cent reignited his feud with Rick Ross after the latter was arrested in Miami Beach.
On Thursday, October 1, TMZ reported that Ross, 50, was arrested on charges of felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery. Both charges, it appears, are related to domestic violence.
Not even a half hour after the outlet posted about the arrest and shared Ross' mugshot, the "In da Club" singer, 51, reposted a screenshot of the report to his own social media pages. His simple caption: "LOL 😆 ARRESTED."
The two rappers first started feuding with each other in 2009, taking swings at each other in song lyrics, music videos and interviews in the years since.
The arrest, meanwhile, comes after Ross' ex-girlfriend Jazzma Kendrick accused him of physical abuse in Instagram Stories shared to her account on Saturday, September 26. Per People, she claimed he had "busted" her lip, sharing photos of the alleged injuries.

Opening a Bible that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, staff at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2011 discovered a reddish-blond hair pressed between the pages. That hair, suspected to have belonged to Jefferson himself, launched a DNA investigation spanning more than a decade that’s now providing a long-missing puzzle piece regarding Jefferson’s relationship with Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman in his household.
After spending years reconstructing DNA fragments, scientists have revealed the most compelling evidence to date that Jefferson, a founding father of the United States, also fathered children with Hemings — a relationship that has been long rumored but never definitively proven. How that investigation unfolded is documented in the book “History by a Hair: Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings & Solving a 200-Year-Old Mystery,” written by Richard Kurin, a distinguished scholar and ambassador-at-large at the Smithsonian, and published on September 22.
Kurin is also senior author of a paper describing the methods that connected the former US president to Hemings’ descendants, which involved delving deep into the genetics of the Jefferson and Hemings family trees. The paper, published September 21 on the preprint platform bioRXiv, has not yet been peer-reviewed.
In addition to testing the hair found in the Bible, the researchers also collected genetic material from multiple confirmed samples of Jefferson’s hair, held in the collection of the Smithsonian. They compared that with DNA from descendants of multiple lineages: Jefferson and his wife Martha, Jefferson’s brother Randolph, and two of Hemings’ sons, Eston and Madison. (Hemings had four children who lived to adulthood, but only Eston and Madison claimed Jefferson as their father).
Matches in the DNA suggest the chance that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one of Sally Hemings’ children was 99.96%.

Elon Musk's ***** eX has been talking, internally, about buying the leftover customer files of startups that already went under. Not licensing data from companies that are still operating and can say no. Buying the digital estate of companies that no longer exist to say anything at all.
The discussions are happening inside ***** eXAI, the artificial intelligence division born in February when ***** eX merged with xAI. People familiar with the talks told Bloomberg they're informal and might go nowhere. But the idea makes sense from the perspective of an AI lab racing for the frontier.
The goal is basically cheap fuel for Grok. AI models learn from training data—the text, code, and records an algorithm studies to get better at predicting what comes next—and the good stuff, real business records instead of scraped web pages, is getting expensive. A dead company's file cabinet is apparently a bargain by comparison.
Google already did the same. The search giant paid $10 million in a bankruptcy auction for the internal records of Spirit Airlines, the discount carrier that shut down for good this year. They got around 100 million emails, 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, decades of employee files, all headed into an AI training pipeline.
That data belonged to real employees who signed up for a job, not an AI experiment. A flight attendants' union objected in bankruptcy court, arguing that scrubbing names off records—what companies call "de-identifying" data—doesn't stop someone from piecing together who said what in a decade of internal chats. The court fight is still ongoing.

Senators on Tuesday voted to block the Clarity Act from moving forward, setting back efforts to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
The Digital ******* et Market Clarity Act received 50 votes for and 49 against the motion to proceed, short of the 60 votes needed to advance, a threshold that would have required at least seven Democratic "yes" votes and all 53 Senate Republicans.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has been an outspoken critic of the legislation, saying it "fails to adequately protect investors, our financial system, and our national security. However, Republicans say the latest draft included more than 100 revisions Democrats requested, including stricter ethics guidelines.
The bill is over 600 pages long and would have marked the first federal regulation of the U.S. crypto sector. A version of the bill cleared the House last year, but it encountered resistance in the Senate.

Europe's royal families are mourning the loss of a man who, for them, was a true role model. For thirty-five years, King Harald was the example that new generations of royals looked up to, a sovereign whose reign was defined, among other things, by the warmth and closeness he showed in each of his public appearances. His absence will be forever recorded in the pages of history and has unleashed a wave of emotion among today's monarchies, who have not hesitated to express their feelings and their love for the late King.
It was Queen Mary, during one of her first engagements after his passing, who chose to speak from the heart to reveal the closeness she shared with Haakon of Norway's father, a gesture that King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands has echoed from afar, continuing this tribute of affection.

Ruben Amorim admits Milan 'didn't deserve to win, or more like Juventus didn't deserve to lose' after their 1-1 draw in Turin. 'We need to move more and be braver.'
The Rossoneri had struggled to create any genuine scoring opportunities in Turin and thanked first Mike Maignan, then the frame of the goal for keeping out Francisco Conceicao.

Substitute Alphadjo Cisse gave them the lead somewhat against the run of play with a well-taken angled drive through Pierre Kalulu's legs, but in stoppages Federico Gatti nodded in the Teun Koopmeiners cross for the late equaliser.
It means both Milan and Juventus lose their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season, dropping points in this head-to-head.

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.

Of all the eye-popping artwork dotting Black Rock City — the ad hoc Nevada desert home of the legendary Burning Man festival — as well as this year's massive sandstorms, which caused a temporary gate closure, and the triumphant return of the festival's Orgy Dome, there's one story that has towered above all others coming out of the wild desert festival this year: reality TV star Bethenny Frankel's unexpected and very expensive foray into Burnerland.
The entrepreneur, philanthropist and former "golden era" castmember of The Real Housewives of New York — and since then, the deeply entertaining center of multiple reality shows from producers who recognize this woman is always the main character — has been posting her experience on the famed playa to her TikTok page. Possibly defying the festival's rules around posting to sponsored personal pages, Frankel is documenting her brave walk among tens of thousands of Burners — a subculture that has apparently declined in numbers, as inflation crept in and the scene morphed into a "sausage fest of aging Millennials" and solipsistic influencers.

Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages had surgery just over a week ago on his hand after getting hit by a 100 mph fastball, but he is already making notable progress in his recovery.
Pages suffered a fracture in his left hand, leaving him in a good amount of pain after the fact, and despite his effort to play through it, he was pulled from the August 22nd game against the Pittsburgh Pirates early and found to have a broken hand.
This season, Pages has been an All-Star and one of the better Dodgers players in a season where not many others have really gotten going.
With his elite glove work and improved contact hitting, Pages is a key cog in the Dodgers machine, and it seems like his return is a matter of time at this point.

The long-awaited results of the NBA's investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers' alleged salary cap circumvention practices were finally released on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and the fallout is just beginning.
Among the punishments handed out, the Clippers must forfeit five first-round draft picks and pay a $30 million fine. Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers' superstar at the heart of the scandal, has been fined $700,000. Additionally, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and president of business operations Gillian Zucker have been suspended by the league for one year. Lawrence Frank, the team's president of basketball operations, has been suspended for six months.
The official investigation report from the law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz explicitly lays out why the organization is facing the brunt of the penalties. Throughout the 36-page document, investigators state the three individuals most responsible for the Clippers' rule-breaking are Ballmer, Zucker and Frank, and call out the organization for obfuscating the investigation's efforts.
The report also notes investigators "continue to receive information relevant to the subjects discussed in this report" and will supplement their findings as appropriate. Wachtell Lipton said it conducted 73 interviews of 60 people and reviewed 200,000 pages of documents.
Here are 13 must-read segments from the investigation. Each is quoted directly from the report.

Did singer Billie Eilish lose $800,000 in belongings after leaving her Tribeca penthouse unlocked for three days to prove that "Mamdani's New York" is safe? No, that's not true: The rumor originated from a known trollery network that adds satire labels to each of its pages. No credible media organizations reported anything remotely similar to the online speculation about a robbery of the singer's supposed Tribeca penthouse.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here and here) on X where it was published by 333too3 on Sept. 1, 2026. It read:
Please be true..... Pop superstar Billie Eilish has reportedly 'lost approximately $800,000 in jewelry, electronics, and also custom clothing' after a 'social experiment' in which she 'left her Tribeca penthouse doors unlocked for 72 hours to prove that New York City is safe under Mayor Mamdani's policies.' The experiment, which Eilish documented on social media with posts like 'trust is the ultimate security' and 'Mamdani's New York has no room for fear,' ended when she returned from a 'meditation retreat upstate' to find her home 'completely emptied, including the refrigerator and also the light fixtures.'
This is what the image attached to the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Reddit (NYSE: RDDT)'s data licensing deals with Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s Google and OpenAI are set to expire next year, and Wall Street simply can't decide whether these deals are a windfall or a warning sign.
On September 2, Baird ***** yst Colin Sebastian reiterated a Neutral rating and $185.00 price target on the stock. The note implies the next big test for Reddit: deciding whether its massive archive of human conversations are still of use to artificial intelligence companies.
According to the firm's ***** sment, the current share price reflects an outcome near the firm's low-end case scenario.
Reddit made a 2024 Google deal that lets Google use its posts to train and power its AI models. Reportedly worth $60 million a year, the deal is set to expire after which Reddit may reportedly choose to block Google's AI from using its content. A similar deal between Reddit and OpenAI estimated around $70 million is also set to expire soon.
Some other publishers such as USA Today, Reuters, Politico are also re-evaluating whether to let Google crawl their pages as AI summaries reduce referral traffic.

Carlos Prates has admitted he expects to get "smashed" by Islam Makhachev for periods of their fight, should they clash over the UFC welterweight ******* le – but he believes he will ultimately knock out the Russian.
Prates is seen as the likeliest contender to face Makhachev next, given he is 7-1 in the UFC with seven knockout wins, including stoppages of former champions Jack Della Maddalena and Leon Edwards.
Makhachev last fought in August, outpointing Ian Machado Garry, the only man to beat Prates in the UFC. With that win, the 34-year-old Russian confirmed his status as the UFC's pound-for-pound No 1 fighter.
UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev (Reuters)
Still, Prates is confident that Makhachev would suffer the same fate as so many others, if he fought the Brazilian, 33.

"The Last Kingsman" has a new opponent in "The City of Light."
The Ultimate Fighter Season 32 winner and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight prospect Mairon Santos was scheduled to face No. 8-ranked Nathaniel Wood at UFC Paris this weekend (Sat., Sept. 5, 2026) inside Accor Arena in Paris, France.
Unfortunately, Santos has withdrawn from the matchup and has been replaced by undefeated UFC newcomer Pavel Andrusca on less than one week's notice.
Andrusca, 24, is a perfect 8-0 as a professional and enters his Octagon debut riding a seven-fight finishing streak. The Moldovan knockout artist owns an 88 percent career finish rate, including six knockouts and five first-round stoppages.

Dodgers have a big outfield problem headlined by Kyle Tucker's bad season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are likely the World Series favorites; Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell are back in the rotation, and Shohei Ohtani might be joining them soon.
There's probably not another team in better shape than the Dodgers. But that does not mean there aren't some issues worth worrying about. Specifically for the Dodgers, it all revolves around their outfield.
Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller highlighted the outfield as the team's biggest problem, which is thanks mainly to Kyle Tucker's struggles, which headline this issue, and the recent injury to Andy Pages.
As Miller noted, "Los Angeles Dodgers: Outfield Is Looking Mighty Bleak These Days." The reason why is simple: Pages is hurt, and Tucker is struggling.
