Prosecutor spokesperson Jeff Wattrick said investigators reviewed statements and digital evidence connected to the allegation. Authorities also sought additional information from the woman who accused Williams before reaching their decision. “The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office takes all allegations of domestic violence seriously,” Wattrick said in a statement. “While this matter involves a public figure, it was handled with the same consideration as any other.”

Williams denied the allegation through his attorneys. “Mr. Williams unequivocally denies the allegation of domestic violence,” his legal team said, adding that they provided prosecutors with evidence they believed challenged the credibility and circumstances of the claim. His attorneys called the allegation “baseless” and said the receiver remains focused on the Lions’ season.

The NFL Could Still Review The Allegation

The decision not to prosecute does not necessarily close the matter from the league’s perspective. NBC Sports noted that the NFL could conduct its own investigation and impose discipline under league policy even without criminal charges. The Lions said they were aware of the situation but declined to comment further. Any NFL review would operate under a separate standard and would not change the prosecutors’ decision.

Williams, a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is coming off the most productive season of his career. He finished 2025 with 65 receptions for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns. Through Detroit’s first three games this season, he has recorded 10 catches for 127 yards.

Tyrese alleges the dispute dates back to September 2025, when Samantha relocated with their daughter, Soraya. He characterizes the move as “premeditated” and claims she failed to facilitate visitation afterward. The filing escalates a family court battle that has already produced years of arguments over custody and financial obligations.

Samantha Lee Says Tyrese Knew About The Move

Meanwhile, Samantha is opposing the warrant and disputes his version of events. In her response, she says she has primary custody of Soraya and claims Tyrese’s application contains inaccurate information about their ongoing custody fight. She also maintains that her relocation was known in advance and that she did not conceal it from him. TMZ reports that she is asking the court not to authorize his request.

The former couple married in 2017 and welcomed Soraya the following year before announcing their split in 2020. Their divorce has remained contentious well after the marriage ended. A judge ordered Tyrese to pay $10,690 per month in child support in 2022, and the actor was briefly taken into custody in 2024 during a hearing over unpaid support.

Their financial dispute has continued alongside the custody issues. Samantha’s attorneys have more recently sought nearly $492,000 in unpaid legal fees connected to the divorce case. Now, Tyrese is trying to put the legal pressure in the other direction, asking the court to authorize an arrest over what he says was a deliberate violation of his rights as Soraya’s father.

The reflection came while Timbaland was discussing Chris Cornell and some of the personal trouble he was carrying during his own addiction. His marriage was unraveling at the time, while pills had become part of how he dealt with what was happening around him. Looking back, he described the OxyContin use as slowly killing himself and credited God with getting him through a period that could easily have ended differently.

Timbaland Was Taking As Much As 160 Milligrams Of OxyContin A Day

The severity of his addiction is something Timbaland has spoken about before. During a 2023 appearance on Club Shay Shay, he said his prescription drug use began with Vicodin before eventually escalating to roughly 160 milligrams of OxyContin per day. At that level, Timbaland said nearly everyone he knew who had done the same was dead. He also recalled having an out-of-body experience in which he saw himself lying in bed.

Prescription painkillers originally entered his life while he was dealing with lingering nerve pain from being shot as a teenager. By his 30s, what began as pain management had become a serious dependency. Timbaland has since acknowledged that the drugs affected more than his health. He later said his work suffered during that period and that some of the records he considers his strongest were made while sober.

Getting off the pills eventually required changing more than the prescription. Timbaland has credited his children with giving him a reason to stop and has said Jay-Z and Drake were among the people who confronted him when his behavior was slipping. Years removed from it, he no longer talks about the addiction as something he simply survived, but something he conquered.

“I’m one of the survivors — the few and the proud. We’re like the Marines,” Davidson told Variety. “Look, man, that’s a really tough atmosphere if you’re not game. One of the things I love about Kim and that whole family is they’re like, ‘This is what we do.’ I found that very attractive and mature.

“And I was never subjected to anything I didn’t want to be a part of. She was super respectful of all of it, but the craze of that lifestyle — being followed everywhere, having security and looking over your shoulder — for a guy with mental stuff, and at the time drug problems, was a little too much for me. But we’re cool, and I have a lot of love for her, and I knew what I was getting into.”

The “survivor” joke sounds like a dig without the context that follows. Davidson was actually complimentary about Kardashian, making a point to separate his feelings about her from the level of attention attached to her life. The two started dating after Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live in October 2021, where they kissed during an Aladdin sketch, and split in August 2022 after roughly nine months together. Davidson now says they remain on good terms years later.

Pete Davidson Says Ye’s Attacks Got To Him

The scrutiny surrounding Kardashian became considerably harder to manage once Ye began publicly targeting Davidson. The rapper repeatedly attacked him online and eventually carried the feud into his music. His “Eazy” video notoriously depicted a clay version of Davidson being kidnapped and buried.

Davidson told Variety that the attacks affected him, especially because his mental health struggles were already public. Still, he expressed some empathy for Kanye West while looking back on the situation, pointing to the pressures of fame and the loss of a parent. Davidson also joked that he may have “cleared the path” for whoever Kardashian dated after him because the first man she became involved with following Ye was probably going to take the brunt of that anger.

None of it appears to have changed how Davidson feels about Kardashian herself. His takeaway is less about regretting the relationship than realizing the lifestyle around it wasn’t sustainable for him. In his telling, Kim was never hiding what came with being part of her world. Pete simply learned he did not want to live in it.

Saxon sued over his time working at Ye’s Malibu property, where he said he was promised $20,000 per week while overseeing the troubled renovation. He claimed he received only one weekly payment, along with money earmarked for construction costs. A jury ultimately awarded him $140,000 in March after finding Ye liable for an injury Saxon suffered while working at the home. The verdict was still a mixed one. Saxon had sought $1.7 million, and jurors rejected most of the theories presented in his case.

Ye Says The Verdict Does Not Justify A Seven-Figure Bill

That split result is now central to West’s argument over attorneys’ fees. His lawyers say Saxon prevailed on only one of 13 theories and are calling the $1.23 million request “unreasonably inflated.” They specifically argue that the fee demand is nearly nine times the damages jurors awarded after a claim Ye’s team says was established primarily through testimony from one physician.

Saxon’s attorneys see the math very differently. West Coast Trial Lawyers says the case required hundreds of hours of work and more than $300,000 in expenses while representing a client against a celebrity defendant who denied liability. Their earlier filing described the litigation as involving overlapping employment and labor issues, arguing that the risk and workload justify the fees they are seeking.

The March verdict has already survived one challenge. Judge Hammond denied Kanye’s April attempt to overturn it, leaving the $140,000 award intact. The next fight is over how much the victory should cost him beyond the damages themselves, with an October 7 hearing scheduled on Saxon’s fee request. If Ye gets his way, a proposed seven-figure bill will shrink to less than $60,000.

Among the more serious allegations was a contraband cellphone that sources said Combs used to access Instagram and view sexually explicit photos. NBC’s reporting also alleged that he drank premium liquor, paid other inmates through outside money deposited into commissary accounts, and used a jailbroken tablet. A representative for Combs pushed back on the coverage, saying the media was turning “ordinary prison life” into spectacle and insisting that he continues serving his sentence within the rules.

The Investigation Marks Diddy’s Second Trip To Solitary

According to TMZ, placing Combs in the Special Housing Unit is standard procedure while prison officials investigate the allegations. The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly confirmed the specific claims against him, citing privacy and security rules. However, they have said inmates are prohibited from possessing cellphones and can face discipline for contraband violations.

This is not Combs’ first stint in SHU. He was placed there in July after a fight with another inmate and was released from solitary several weeks later. Sources told NBC that once he returned to the general population, the alleged perks resumed.

The timing is notable because Combs’ projected release date has been moving in the opposite direction. Bureau of Prisons records currently list January 21, 2028 as his release date, earlier than several previous projections. He is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted in 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Jurors acquitted him of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.

McDaniel did not frame the arrangement as a complaint. She explained that they have been friends for years and understand their finances are nowhere near the same. “If we’re going on the same trip, I don’t feel the need to be in first because that’s not in my budget,” she said. She also recalled once walking up to Savannah’s seat during a flight and squeezing in with her to watch a movie. The story was told casually. Social media heard it very differently.

Critics Think Savannah Should Simply Pay For The Upgrade

The backlash centered on a pretty straightforward question. If someone can afford first class and is traveling with a best friend, why not buy her the same seat? Critics argued that friendship should outweigh the price difference, especially when money is hardly the obstacle for Savannah and LeBron James. Others said they would rather sit in a lower cabin themselves than leave a close friend somewhere else on the plane.

McDaniel, however, has made it clear that she does not expect Savannah’s wealth to become an extension of her own wallet. She said their friendship works because they are realistic about what each woman can afford, and Savannah does not pressure her into spending outside her budget. That explanation has not done much to quiet people who believe generosity should look different when one friend has substantially more money than the other.

The clip has nevertheless become one of those internet debates where everyone suddenly has rules for somebody else’s friendship. Savannah and McDaniel appear comfortable with theirs…although my BFF would be right by my side, flying first class or coach.

Remy made the allegations in audio she shared while promoting her new Alimony EP. While listening back to herself vent about Papoose, she accused him of failing to pick up or even call their daughter regularly. “He don’t pick up my f*cking daughter. He don’t even f*cking call her,” Remy said before turning to money and claiming, “That n*gga don’t pay for sh*t.” She also said there was “no child support, no nothing,” while discussing what she says has happened during their ongoing divorce.

Papoose did not answer with a lengthy statement. Instead, he posted the Saks receipts, letting the purchases serve as his response to Remy’s claim that he contributes nothing financially. The screenshots alone cannot show how often he sees Reminisce or settle the larger parenting dispute. They do, however, directly challenge the idea that he has provided no financial support at all.

Papoose Has Already Been Fighting Remy’s Version Of The Divorce

The parenting accusation arrives while both rappers are publicly presenting very different versions of how their marriage is ending. Days earlier, Papoose shared screenshots he said showed conversations with his divorce attorney, claiming he was willing to walk away from three properties to finalize the split and secure visitation with Reminisce. Papoose presented those messages, but they have not been established as a complete record of the divorce negotiations.

Remy, meanwhile, has turned much of the breakup into material for Alimony, her six-track EP released September 25. The project includes “Why I Get Married?” featuring Keke Wyatt and follows weeks of musical shots between the estranged spouses, including Papoose’s “Jezebel.” At this point, both sides appear determined to make sure the public sees their side of the story.

The trouble started when Gazprom Arena publicly denied signing a rental agreement for the concerts, despite earlier promotion around the dates. Say Agency pushed back and insisted the shows were still happening, while organizers claimed more than 100,000 tickets had been sold. St. Petersburg outlets later reported that senior officials had not approved the performances, with one account describing a call “from above” before the venue reversed course. That has fueled reports of Kremlin involvement, although no public statement has confirmed that President Vladimir Putin’s administration directly ordered the cancelation.

The Venue Fight Became A Political Problem

Ye’s history of antisemitic rhetoric and Nazi imagery appears to have made the proposed concerts especially difficult to defend inside Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova publicly criticized the idea of hosting him, accusing the rapper of “glorifying Nazism.” Russian politicians had already voiced objections to the dates, adding to what initially looked like a simple dispute between a promoter and a stadium.

The cancelation also complicates Ye’s legal calendar. His attorneys had cited the Russia dates while asking to move an upcoming discrimination trial involving former Donda Academy security guard Benjamin Provo. Provo is seeking roughly $23 million and alleges he was fired after refusing to cut his dreadlocks for religious reasons. With the St. Petersburg shows gone, one scheduling conflict Ye’s team pointed to has now disappeared.

Yet, there may still be attempts to get Ye back to Russia. A Turkish agency connected to his Istanbul performance listed a tentative Moscow date for July 2027, while Luzhniki Stadium previously indicated it would consider hosting him if another venue became available.

The remark followed a discussion of his March sketch “How Conservative Women in America Act,” which featured Druski in white makeup, a blonde wig, and blue contact lenses while playing an exaggerated conservative woman. The character cries through interviews and makes racist remarks while moving through an increasingly absurd day. Although Druski never named a real person, many interpreted the look as a reference to Erika Kirk. Kirk later appeared to respond without naming him, saying she had seen comedians dressing up in whiteface while criticizing what she called “dehumanization.”

Druski Says His Comedy Starts With What He Sees

Rather than unpack the sketch as a political statement, Druski told TIME he was more interested in discussing the work behind the transformation. That fits with how he has described his comedy elsewhere. He told the magazine that his characters are often pulled from behavior he notices in real life and said comedy can work like a mirror for things people may otherwise ignore. His viral megachurch pastor character grew from similar observations, with Druski previously saying there was “truth” behind the joke.

That line between satire and commentary has become more noticeable as Druski’s sketches have grown more elaborate. The conservative-woman video surpassed 100 million views on Instagram, according to TIME, and his characters now regularly spill into larger projects. His megachurch pastor, for example, moved from a viral sketch into his BET Awards hosting material and an upcoming Netflix series, Collect & Praise.

Even with audiences reading politics into some of those characters, Druski appears determined to keep the label off himself. His focus, at least publicly, remains comedy and how far he can stretch it. That includes Livestream From Hell with Kevin Hart and Kai Cenat, along with a growing film career that TIME says will next place him opposite Chris Pine and Emma Stone in The Catch.
