Miesha Shakes wants to question Montia Sabbag about the recording and its investigation in her ongoing legal dispute with Hart.
Kevin Hart's former ****** istant Miesha Shakes wants Montia Sabbag, the woman involved in his 2017 ****** tape scandal, to testify in the comedian's lawsuit against her.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Shakes said she wants to question Sabbag about the recording and the investigation that followed. She also plans to testify herself and call Hart as a witness.
Hart sued Shakes in December 2023 after she discussed his private life during an interview with blogger Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe. Shakes worked for Hart's company from August 2017 to October 2020. His complaint accused her of defamation and breaching a nondisclosure agreement. Hart denied her claims that he recorded a ****** ual encounter and faced criminal charges over it.
Shakes argues the agreement is invalid because Hart failed to meet obligations under it. Hart disputes that argument and says her comments damaged his reputation. In June 2026, he asked a judge to order Shakes to pay $50,000, citing the damages provision in their agreement.

Kevin Hart's 2017 ***** tape scandal could resurface in court as Montia Sabbag may be called to testify in the comedian's ongoing legal battle. Sabbag, who was involved in the controversial recording, could now face questions about the incident and the investigation that followed.
Kevin Hart's former ***** istant Miesha Shakes is seeking testimony from Montia Sabbag in her legal dispute with the comedian, potentially bringing Hart's controversial 2017 ***** tape scandal back into the spotlight. According to TMZ, Shakes wants Sabbag questioned about the video and the investigation that followed.
Sabbag was at the center of the scandal after a video involving her and Hart became the subject of an extortion investigation. She has acknowledged that she appears in the recording but has denied any involvement in making it or in the extortion attempt that followed. Shakes now reportedly wants her account of those events to become part of the current proceedings.
Sabbag's potential involvement comes amid a separate dispute between Hart and Shakes over a non-disclosure agreement. Hart has accused his former ***** istant of violating the agreement by discussing his personal life in an interview with a blogger. Shakes has disputed that claim and argued that Hart failed to fulfill obligations under the agreement, which she says makes the deal invalid.
The two sides also disagree over who is responsible for damage to Hart's reputation. Hart has accused Shakes of harming his public image, while Shakes has argued that Hart's own actions have contributed to it, citing the ***** tape controversy among other examples. Shakes plans to testify in the case and wants Hart to do the same. The legal proceedings are ongoing.

Amid the chaos of New York Fashion Week, Demi Moore is stopping to smell the roses.
The Oscar-nominated actress surprised guests when she made an appearance at the Magda Butrym NYFW show on Sunday, Sept. 13. Held at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, the luxury ready-to-wear brand was not only celebrating its spring–summer 2027 collection; the show also marked the Polish brand's first runway presentation in New York.
Moments before the show began, Moore slipped into the designer's front row, joining Kelly Rutherford, Anna Van Patten and Nara Smith. Sitting in between Smith and Rutherford, Moore greeted both women with friendly hugs and handshakes before taking her seat.
With majority of the front row crew garbed in grey and black ensembles, the "St. Elmo's Fire" actress stood out in an all-white Magda Butrym look featuring an ivory crochet halter top styled with a white oversized blazer and matching column maxi skirt. Moore topped off the look with a mini white top-handle bag and pointed-toe crochet pumps that matched her top.
As guests awaited the start of the show, Moore admired the runway lined with pale pink rose petals, at one point taking a moment to smell the roses — literally — by bringing a few petals to the tip of her nose as she chatted with Rutherford.

EAST LANSING — Michigan State coach Pat Fitzgerald thinks he may have his most important defensive player back for next week's game against Notre Dame.
In his postgame press conference after a 35-7 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Sept. 12, Fitzgerald said that starting middle linebacker Jordan Hall was not cleared for the game by medical personnel but could be available for Week 3's rivalry game in South Bend.
"Jordan was really close playing today," Fitzgerald said. "Medical team told us that he was not cleared here late in the week. We made that decision collectively together to make sure that we think about his health, safety, and well-being. And I expect if we practice tomorrow that he'll be ready to go."
Hall made 88 tackles last season to lead Michigan State's defense and is a two-time captain. The senior made four tackles in 25 snaps in Week 1's win over Toledo but came on and off the field with a right elbow injury sustained on the second drive of the season. He walked into Spartan Stadium on Saturday with a brace on that right arm.

Pop icon Debbie Gibson is celebrating almost four decades of her legendary pop smash 'Shake Your Love.' The singer recently posted a video of herself performing the chart-topping 1987 hit, and fans have some pretty strong opinions about this clip.
Earlier this week, Gibson shared a message on Instagram, writing, "Happy 39th anniversary Shake Your Love! Thanks for shakin' it with us yesterday, Rockhampton, Australia."
Even though fans (scratch that, critics) didn't have much to say about the caption, they were quick to bash the video. Why? The 56-year-old former teen queen struts, or rather shakes, her stuff wearing a teeny tiny one-piece romper. Cue the controversy.
While Gibson looks just as fabulous as she did four decades ago, critics flocked to her post, dragging the celeb's barely-there ensemble.
"Why does every singer wear this sort of thing…what's wrong with a nice dress!" wrote one commenter. But the unwelcome critique didn't stop there. Others piled on, writing, "FYI. You can still look young and hot but with pants", "Wear a cute jean or something…", "What's with the outfit? Deb, you're not in the 90s dress era," and "She looks great for age but I don't love the outfit, just saying. Everyone is entitled to their opinion."

Lights. Camera. Quiet please...
When it comes to etiquette in tennis, there are a fair few unwritten rules.
Apologising after winning a point from a net cord. Honesty around line calls, double bounces and double-hits. Post-match handshakes.
As for the spectators, it is common courtesy not to disturb the players during points.
Around 100 influencers and content creators have been granted accreditation for the tournament in New York - double the amount from last year.

India women's head coach Amol Muzumdar on Saturday refused to be drawn into questions over the handshake protocol ahead of the team's Women's Asia Cup clash against Pakistan on September 5.With India set to face Pakistan again, Muzumdar said the team was focused solely on its opening game against Thailand on Sunday and would address the issue when the two sides meet.
"We try to play the best cricket on the ground and off the field stuff, we don't focus on it. We try to play the best cricket that we know on that particular day. We will speak about this when we play that game. But at the moment, we are focusing on tomorrow's game. One game at a time," Muzumdar said at the pre-match press conference.
The no-handshake stance between Indian and Pakistani cricket teams has been in place since the 2025 Men's Asia Cup, following the Pahalgam terror attack in April that year. India avoided handshakes with Pakistan in all three meetings during that tournament, including the final. The stance was subsequently maintained across senior, women's and age-group cricket.
The Indian women's team followed the protocol during their Women's ODI World Cup meeting with Pakistan in Colombo in October 2025. It was also observed during the Men's Rising Stars Asia Cup, the Under-19 Asia Cup, the Under-19 World Cup and the Men's T20 World Cup.
The stance continued during the Women's T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan in Birmingham in June 2026, when Harmanpreet Kaur's team again did not exchange handshakes with their opponents.
Muzumdar also played down India's recent T20I record, with the team having lost nine of their 16 matches this year. The coach acknowledged that there is plenty of room for improvement but backed the young side to develop its aggressive style of cricket.
"We don't pay too much attention to the form. You are talking about 16 T20Is in the last six months. But at the same time, we know what scope of improvement this team has got," he said.
"There is a huge scope of improvement. There is a young side. We are trying to play some good cricket, good aggressive cricket,'' he added.
India will begin their Women's T20 Asia Cup campaign against Thailand on Sunday before turning their attention to the much-anticipated Pakistan clash on September 5.

The summer transfer market has been shaken by Álvaro Morata's surprising move to CD Leganés, while the latest sports headlines are dominated by Julián Álvarez's absence from Atlético de Madrid's trip to Seville and FC Barcelona's tactical adjustments in attack.
The Madrid-born striker is behind the summer's biggest move after joining CD Leganés on loan from Como. The deal shakes up the second tier and makes the Spain international Leganés' main ***** et in their bid to return to the top flight.
For his part, Diego Simeone heads into the visit to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán without a recognized centre-forward after Julián Álvarez was confirmed unavailable. The Argentine's absence, prompted by his refusal to train during the final stretch of the transfer window, puts even more focus on the tactical setup the rojiblancos will use in Seville.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Hansi Flick is drawing up attacking alternatives. Faced with the complicated scenario of signing Julián Álvarez, the coaching staff are considering redeploying Raphinha as an out-and-out No. 9, trusting in his movement and finishing to lead the blaugrana attack.
On the international stage, the European draws have handed demanding matchups to Celta de Vigo and Real Sociedad in the Europa League, while Getafe will face more manageable fixtures in the Conference League.

Tim Curry, the English actor best known for his star turn as Dr Frank-N-Furter in the cult classic musical film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," has died at the age of 80, US media reported Wednesday.
Curry, who had struggled with his health for more than a decade after a debilitating stroke, died at his home in Los Angeles, TMZ said, citing unnamed sources.
The actor, who launched his career in London's West End theater district, first played the gender-bending mad scientist in "Rocky Horror" before reprising the role in the 1975 film, which is still a staple of midnight cinema showings more than 50 years later.
His other credits include the sinister clown Pennywise in a 1990 television miniseries version of Stephen King's "It" and films that included "Charlie's Angels" and "Muppet Treasure Island."
An impressive theatrical resume that began in the 1960s saw him do turns at the Royal Court Theatre and the Citizens Theatre, taking on roles written by Shakespeare, Brecht and Tom Stoppard, among others.

Beloved British actor Tim Curry has died aged 80.
A cause of death was not immediately available, though Curry had suffered from several health issues since a severe stroke in 2012 left him unable to walk.
Best known for his role as Frank-N-Furter, the "sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania", in the cult musical comedy The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), Curry was considered one of the most charismatic performers of his generation.
Born in Cheshire, England, on 19 April 1946, Curry began his professional acting career in a 1968 West End production of the rock musical Hair shortly after graduating from the University of Birmingham.
He followed that up with roles in stage performances of Shakespeare, Brecht and Stoppard, before the subversive camp classic Rocky Horror launched him to worldwide stardom. It is still considered a classic of musical cinema and continues to run in limited release to this day, making it the longest-running film release of all time.

"Please, boys. Don't make my final years a misery." The words of the future King Charles III as he pleaded with his two sons to patch things up at their grandfather's funeral in April 2021 have just acquired a whole new resonance.
The "boys", better known as Prince William and Prince Harry, never did make up. Indeed, their feud only darkened and deepened as the elder brother fumed at the younger's treachery towards the Royal family in general, and his wife, in particular. (Outrageously, in her interview with Oprah, Meghan accused unnamed members of the family of racism in relation to her unborn baby's skin colour.)
The last time Harry and William stood together, just the two of them, was in July 2021 at the unveiling of a bronze statue of their late mother on what would have been her 60th birthday. The pair could barely look at each other. For William, Harry's deeply personal and spiteful revelations two years later in his biography, Spare, were an unimaginable betrayal by the human being he once trusted best.

A lid could be kept on that seething Shakespearean sibling rivalry, as long as Diana's beloved boys, now men in their 40s, were separated by an ocean. Harry and Meghan found freedom in California from the stultifying Windsor ways they so publicly scorned. The Waleses were left to steady the ship after the turbulence of "Megxit". They did so admirably and to universal acclaim despite Princess Catherine's shocking brush with cancer.

Chelsea projected lineup 2026-27: How will Xabi Alonso use Morgan Rogers, bloated Blues squad? originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Chelsea are hoping to see themselves rise back up the Premier League table as they look towards getting started on the 2026/27 season.
The Blues finished 10th last season, a dismal result that left them without any European football this season for new manager Xabi Alonso to navigate.
It will be a season for Chelsea to test their young talent against the rest of the English top flight, as last season's youngest squad by average age continues to push forward with a horde of youthful players.
The Sporting News looks at the Chelsea squad, how it shakes out after another summer of wheeling and dealing in the transfer market, and where each player is set to contribute toward the goal of returning to European football.

Princess Margaret was the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth. She earned a reputation as the rebellious, free-spirited counterpart of her more serious sibling.
Known for her wit, bold fashions, and star-studded social network, Margaret set the blueprint for future glamorous royals like Princess Diana.
Margaret died on February 9, 2002, at age 71, following a series of strokes.
Princess Margaret knew all her best angles.
With a fashion-photographer husband and a free-spirited approach to public life, the younger sister and only sibling of Queen Elizabeth never shied away from the camera. One '60s snapshot shows her beaming as she shakes hands with The Beatles. Another, from the '70s, sees the royal casually stunning in a houndstooth plaid coat with a matching hood while watching the Badminton horse trials alongside husband Lord Snowdon.

With a fashion-photographer husband and a free-spirited approach to public life, the younger sister and only sibling of Queen Elizabeth never shied away from the camera. One '60s snapshot shows her beaming as she shakes hands with The Beatles. Another, from the '70s, sees the royal casually stunning in a houndstooth plaid coat with a matching hood while watching the Badminton horse trials alongside husband Lord Snowdon.

TimesofIndia.com in Galle: The match was over. The formalities were completed, and both teams had already left the stadium. The broadcast crew was busy packing up for the next game, but the work was only getting started for Manjula and the 130 groundstaff at the Galle International Cricket Stadium. It rained immediately after the two teams completed their handshakes, but unlike the preceding week, there was no urgency to cover the square or the ground. Overseeing operations, Manjula stood on top of the advertising board and kept a close eye as the covers were neatly folded and parked after a week of intense activity.
Since India and Sri Lanka arrived in the coastal city for the series opener, rain has appeared frequently enough to keep Manjula and his team on their toes. Not all of them are employees of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). Only 16 are permanent staff in Galle, while 10 came from Hambantota to help with the international fixture. The remaining staff were hired as daily workers.
"We have 16 permanent employees and 10 come from Hambantota whenever an international match comes to Galle. For the rest, we hire daily workers for the duration of the match and practice sessions, and they are paid between 2,500 LKR and 4,000 LKR per day for the work," says Manjula.
From anticipation to execution, the groundstaff stuck to their methods and ensured there was no chaos, even during a heavy downpour. The average time they take to cover the entire ground is less than five minutes, and they work quickly depending on the situation. They look for cues, observe the cloud behaviour and are always staring towards the Indian Ocean near the Galle Fort.
"We keep our eyes there," he says, pointing towards the ocean near the fort. "When clouds start building up, we know it's coming. Then we are ready and wait for the official signal to start covering the pitch, square, run-up and then the entire ground. That's the order we follow."
"The reaction time is very important," he adds.
When the groundstaff run from all directions, dragging the covers, the synchronised effort is a sight. The first batch, covering the pitch and square, times their runs so there is no overlapping, and speed cannot be compromised because the run-up and the remainder of the field must be covered next. These are anything but light covers, and a 100x100 piece can weigh over 650 kg. Add to this the challenges of wind and rain.
"These are not light," Manjula says with a laugh. "They are well over 650 kg each for a 100x100 piece, and there are about 28 pieces we have to cover the entire ground and ensure no damage is done to the outfield."
While the covers are heavy enough to stay grounded on their own, heavy crosswinds present a challenge, and the next step is to carefully place heavy rubber tyres to keep the covers in place. More than 300 tyres are ready to be rolled onto the ground the moment rain arrives.
"We keep these tyres over the covers because, as you have seen, it does

Ian Garry had a pretty good showing, but ultimately lost a decision at UFC 330 against Islam Makhachev, who has been breaking records across two divisions. Garry had his moments on the feet, and showed excellent takedown defense and reversals on the ground, but Dana White felt it was the challenger's mindset that could've cost him the fight.
"This is my honest opinion. I felt like tonight was set up for the upset," White said at the UFC 330 post-fight press conference. "Ian is a talented guy, if he had even an ounce of killer instinct — in that fifth round he was beating him to the body. Islam's whole right side was beat up. His face was beat up. You don't come out and hug and shake hands. F— that ***** drives me crazy!
"This is one of those fights that Ian will go back and say 'f—k, I wish I could do that over again.' If he came out and tried to destroy and win that last round with everything he had, it's a totally different fight."
Garry remained cordial with Makhachev throughout the build up and even during the fight itself, where he offered high fives, fist ***** ps, and friendly pats on every break. White criticized this approach while Garry was trying to upset one of the all-time greats.
"I think Ian is a classy guy, is what I think. He always shows class, before the fight he goes over and shakes all their corners' hands. It's great, but when that f—ng bell rings, you've got to switch all that off and go," White exlaimed. "You definitely got to do it in the fifth round.

Welcome back to Rays Reacts. We asked, you voted. This time, we inquired on your confidence in the Rays starting rotation, which as a question conjures playoff considerations.
Practically, many teams skate by with just three plus starting pitchers, so personally I'm not too worried about how the rotation shakes out down the stretch. Despite losing Griffin Jax to injury — he recently got an injection in his elbow, and has resumed throwing at 120 feet — Rasmussen and Martinez are solid, Sugar Shane just pitched three clean innings in Durham on a rehab start, the Rays are settling Peralta into the Rays way, and Seymour is over-achieving expectations for a pitcher with 14 career starts at the MLB level.
I'm confident, but more importantly, how did y'all feel?
Minor concerns is fair!
Jax and McClanahan are indeed injured, Seymour was recently in the bullpen, and Peralta is new. It's reasonable to be concerned at least a little bit.

Ever since ESPN completed its deal to acquire NFL Media in exchange for a 10 percent equity stake in the network earlier this year, questions about how the league's ownership of the network would influence ESPN's editorial output have been a regular topic of conversation. ESPN and the NFL have regularly insisted that the equity stake will have no bearing on the network's reporting of the league.
So far, that seems to be the case. The network recently re-signed investigative reporter Don Van Natta Jr., who has reported on the NFL aggressively for 15 years since joining ESPN in 2011. And just last month, ESPN published a triple-bylined investigative report on the NFL's Rooney Rule that offered a very critical look at the efficacy of the league's hiring protocols. If ESPN was planning to neuter its reporting on the NFL because of its new equity arrangement with the league, it hasn't been very overt about it.
But there's one way in which the network might attempt to take the sting out of its more critical reporting about the league, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio suggested on a recent episode of The Varsity podcast. Florio believes that ESPN may very well continue to report on the NFL just as it always has, but he wonders if the network will put that reporting behind the megaphone like it once did.
"Here's the thing to watch. When they have a deep-dive investigative story that may make the NFL and or one of its teams look bad, what do they do with it?" Florio posed. "When do they release it? How do they showcase it on the various ESPN car wash of shows? There was a time when they would strategically pick, in my view, maximum disruption for dropping one of these stories. And the person that wrote it would be on every ESPN show you can imagine talking about it. So, they may still check the box on journalism, but let's see how much of a spotlight they shine. Let's see how strategic they are about putting it at a good spot instead of maybe burying it on a Friday afternoon. That's the thing to watch as it relates to ESPN's journalism of the NFL."
At some point, ESPN will be tested on this front. Reporters like Van Natta Jr., Seth Wickersham, or Kalyn Kahler will eventually report a story that shakes the NFL. The level to which ESPN covers those stories across its more popular mediums like television and social media will be telling as to whether the NFL's equity stake in the network has any sway over the network's editorial decisions.

Gabriel Moreno walked into the Diamondbacks clubhouse a little after 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5, and all of the congratulatory fist ***** ps, hugs and handshakes began.
The Diamondbacks catcher arrived for work fresh off of two days on the paternity list to be with his wife and their newborn daughter, Gianna. He looked happy and rested and was in the Diamondbacks lineup as the designated hitter against the San Diego Padres.
"Everybody's good, my wife's good," Moreno said. "My baby girl is good at home. ... My son, he's a little bit jealous but he's happy."
The timing on the birth worked out well. Moreno was on a long road trip and was concerned he'd have to leave for Arizona on Sunday, Aug. 2, while the Diamondbacks were playing in Cleveland. But he was able to get back home with the team and be with his wife for the birth this week.
"I feel good. Feel really good to go out there and do my job," Moreno said about getting back into playing again.

Hollywood is no stranger to meteoric rises and quiet retreats. Over the decades, certain stars have become household names only to vanish from the limelight, leaving fans wondering where they've gone. Take a look at these 11 iconic actors who captivated audiences, made unforgettable marks on the industry, and then faded, whether for a break or a bold new chapter.

Julia Stiles, once the face of smart teen romances and dramatic favorites, turned heads on the red carpet, showing she still has the poise and style that made her famous. After unforgettable roles in classics like 10 Things I Hate About You, she embraced quieter projects and TV work, stepping back from mainstream blockbusters. In the 1999 film, a Seattle-set teen retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, Stiles played the sharp-tongued Kat Stratford opposite Heath Ledger, according to HuffPost. Her recent appearances rekindled nostalgia and underscored her ability to enchant in any era.

On Friday evening of July 31 — exactly 29 days before the 2026 college football season kicks off — game-changing news came out of the U.S. District Court of Colorado. The court ruling by Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted a preliminary injunction that requires the NCAA to provide an additional year of eligibility to all athletes who graduated high school in 2022 and exhausted their eligibility during the 2025-26 academic year.
The ruling aligns with the Protect College Sports Act, a bill currently on the Senate floor which proposes a 5-year eligibility window for all student-athletes. However, before this dramatically shakes up collegiate rosters during fall camp, the ruling is expected to be appealed by the NCAA per a memo issued by NCAA Chief Legal Officer Scott Bearby.
After Friday's news, graduated players from across the country expressed interest in returning to college football. The Sun Belt Conference had several of its stars express interest, per On3 Sports' Pete Nakos, including former James Madison inside linebacker Trent Hendrick and ULM defensive end Kevontay Wells. The NCAA cannot bar players from entering the transfer portal per Sweeney's ruling, so affected players have the option to return to their schools or transfer elsewhere.
Below is a list players who graduated high school in 2022 who are NOT currently on NFL rosters. These players would be granted a fifth year of eligibility by the court ruling:
Old Dominion OT Zach Barlev (currently on the Ottawa Redblacks' CFL roster)

Sandisk (SNDK) stock's meteoric run might be unwinding, but the stock still possesses some key traits and investors should watch for another breakout.
The semiconductor company, which makes storage and memory solutions that help generative AI models function faster, has seen its momentum grow significantly this year alongside generative AI demand for memory semiconductors used to build AI models.
Sandisk stock reached as high as 2,354.39 per share in June, but then lost more than half its value before rebounding at the tail end of July.
But knowing of a stock's success is half the battle. "I insist on stocks with that strong prior uptrend, which we can easily see that Sandisk stock had," Steve Swetz, growth stock investor, told Investor's Business Daily's "Investing with IBD" podcast. He sees Sandisk stock as a volatile mover that often shakes out investors through temporary price declines.

The Cleveland Browns are building a $2.4 billion domed stadium that's set to open in 2029. They're also building a roster ownership hopes can make up a contending playoff team in 2027.
But JW Johnson, a partner of the Haslam Sports Group, emphasized Friday in a news conference alongside owner Jimmy Haslam that Cleveland isn't punting on the 2026 season "by any means."
"We're excited about how we're going to play, and we'll see how the schedule shakes out," said Johnson, the husband of Jimmy and Dee Haslam's daughter Whitney. "But the guys are ready to win this year. There's no mandate like, 'Hey, we got to just focus on '27 and beyond.' It's every year we want to win."
Earlier, Haslam and Johnson were asked what success for the Browns looks like this season.
"I would say this, and we never do this, but I think the odds are for us to win 5 1/2 games," Haslam said. "I'll take the over."

Cardi B is addressing speculation about having her **** injections reversed.
In a recent clip on Instagram Live, Cardi admitted that she had surgery back in January 2024 to have the injections "reduced." Known for her blunt honesty about her love life and everything else, Cardi shared what procedures she had.
"A lot of y'all keep telling me to go get my a** reduced," Cardi explained. "I don't need to go get my a** reduced, news flash, I did get my a** reduced."
Cardi also said that she "can't just go and lipo my **** because my skin is kinda loose."
"That's why my a** shakes so much," she said.
"So if I just go and get a lipo reduction, that is the easy way, my a could drop," Cardi continued. "So I would have to cut myself. And I'm not cutting myself. I'm not sitting down for four months. I'm outside, like I said. I like my body how it looks right now. I'm comfortable in my skin."

More than half a century has elapsed since the last big exhibition of work by Richard Dadd, the Victorian one-off who murdered his father while in his 20s and spent the rest of his life painting in psychiatric institutions. The most famous of his seemingly psychedelic compositions is The Fairy-Feller's Master-Stroke (1855-64), an airless, intricate and profoundly eccentric picture swarming with supernatural creatures, each apparently no bigger than a blade of grass. Surely it's the product of a fevered brain?
Richard Dadd: Beyond Bedlam, at the Royal Academy of Arts, invites us to consider its subject afresh, not as a lunatic who happened to paint but as a first-rate artist who lived with mental illness (probably schizophrenia), a little like Vincent van Gogh. Although, on this evidence, his folkloric paintings can appear obscure, as well as multitudinous and hallucinatory, the originality of his vision reinforces the show's premise. This exhibition may be weird, but it's certainly compelling.
Despite Dadd's medical history, it would be wrong to categorise him as an "outsider" artist. He was born in Kent in 1817, his mother died when he was a child, then, at the age of 19, he entered the Royal Academy Schools, a move emphasised (unsurprisingly, given its setting) by this exhibition's dull opening room. If Dadd's mature art appears technically accomplished and steeped in art history – I have a hunch that an odd watercolour of 1852 depicting Robin Hood craftily alludes to The Archers (1769-70) by Sir Joshua Reynolds now in Tate Britain – that's because he was trained, as well as talented.
After winning acclaim for some early Shakespearean fairy pictures, including one of a corpulent, malevolent-looking Puck sitting cross-legged on a fungus beneath a foxglove like a dripping shower head, Dadd was invited, in 1842, to accompany Thomas Phillips, a Welsh lawyer and politician, on a trip around the eastern Mediterranean. Over-stimulated by this grand tour, Dadd began suffering delusions. On his return to London, he became convinced that his father was a devil and killed him with a knife. A year later, he was admitted to Bethlem and remained there for two decades before being transferred to Broadmoor Hospital, where he would eventually die from tuberculosis, in 1886.
During his time as a patient, medical attitudes to mental illness started to shift. In 1854, Dadd produced Agony – Raving Madness, a watercolour of a manacled, half-naked, evidently tormented patient clutching at his head. Yet, Dadd's doctors wanted physical coercion to become a thing of the past. They allowed him to draw and paint as he wished, and even commissioned him to do so; exceptionally, at Broadmoor, they also provided him with carpentry tools, so that he could build his own idiosyncratic wooden picture frames (two of which appear at the Royal Academy).
Richard Dadd: Beyond Bedlam, at the Royal Academy of Arts, invites us to consider its subject afresh, not as a lunatic who happened to paint but as a first-rate artist who lived with mental illness (probably schizophrenia), a little like Vincent van Gogh. Although, on this evidence, his folkloric paintings can appear obscure, as well as multitudinous and hallucinatory, the originality of his vision reinforces the show's premise. This exhibition may be weird, but it's certainly compelling.
Despite Dadd's medical history, it would be wrong to categorise him as an "outsider" artist. He was born in Kent in 1817, his mother died when he was a child, then, at the age of 19, he entered the Royal Academy Schools, a move emphasised (unsurprisingly, given its setting) by this exhibition's dull opening room. If Dadd's mature art appears technically accomplished and steeped in art history – I have a hunch that an odd watercolour of 1852 depicting Robin Hood craftily alludes to The Archers (1769-70) by Sir Joshua Reynolds now in Tate Britain – that's because he was trained, as well as talented.
