#RHOA: Fans divided after Mia suggests Karen needs REHAB after her drunk driving accident
Karen Huger's DUI charges (or as she insists, they're only 'allegations') continue to loom large on Bravo's Real Housewives of Potomac.
The 61-year-old was involved in a DUI crash back in March 2024, just a month before filming began on Season 9 of RHOP.
She has refused to speak in detail about the accident ever since, though in this week's episode - entitled Blast From Everyone's Past - Mia Thornton went so far as to suggest Karen needs to go to rehab.
RHOP newcomer Stacey Rusch had apparently not heard about the incident - despite it being the talk of the group all season - and went right to Karen to relay what she just heard about rehab.
Her actions have many RHOP fans divided - with some claiming she's a 'snitch' and some insisting she's actually being a good friend by being so direct.

@suhmeenuh said, 'They trying to get Karen off the show talking rehab,' while @venusnv80plus said, 'And on that note…Stacey is a Producer Plant. This naïveté that she has going on has moved into unbelievable territory.'
That user wasn't the only one who was surprised how Stacey couldn't have learned about all of Karen's charges/allegations.
Others called out Karen for calling her criminal charges 'allegations,' like @sugarbunt, who said, 'Damn damn the drama at the end of episode is what we should get! But hey I need sneak peak of next Sunday please.. Rehab all the allegations( I think they were charges).'

#HipHopNews: Tyler The Creator Lands His Third No. 1 Album On The 'Billboard' 200 Chart With 'CHROMAKOPIA'
Tyler, The Creator notched his third No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with CHROMAKOPIA. Despite only having four tracking days due to its Monday (Oct. 28) release, the LP sold 299,500 album-equivalent units.
More than half of the total amount came from SEA units, or 212.55 million on-demand streams, while physical album sales accounted for 142,000. CHROMAKOPIA arrived with a limited-edition CD and numerous boxed sets including various tees, a hoodie, and a poster. The 14-song effort is the third-biggest debut week for Hip Hop on vinyl since 1991 — Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO re-release currently holds spot No. 1 — according to Luminate data.
Joined by singles “St. Chroma,” “Noid,” and “Thought I Was Dead,” CHROMAKOPIA boasted contributions from the likes of Teezo Touchdown, Sexyy Red, GloRilla, ScHoolboy Q, Lil Wayne, Daniel Caesar, and Doechii. Production, on the other hand, was handled entirely by the GOLF WANG founder himself.
As Rap-Up reported earlier in the month, CHROMAKOPIA‘s launch led to Tyler dethroning Taylor Swift on Spotify’s Top Artists Global chart for a few days. The pop icon’s fanbase evidently wasn’t pleased with the news and began resurfacing some of his old, controversial lyrics. “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a**,” he responded during a recent concert. “B**ch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat.’ I don’t give a f**k, h**. They gon’ bring out the old me.”
General ticket sales for the “CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR” began on Nov. 1. Tyler will open the trek with a show in St. Paul, MN before sweeping through Los Angeles, Vancouver, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, and Charlotte, among other cities. Lil Yachty and rap duo Paris Texas are joining him as supporting acts.
Ahead of the voyage, fans can catch the “Sticky” rapper at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival later in the month. Playboi Carti, Denzel Curry, Tommy Richman, Earl Sweatshirt, and more are on the bill.

#RIP The Maestro Quincy Jones, pop mastermind and 'Thriller' producer, dies At 91
Quincy Jones, whose decorated music career ran from the early 1950s through the best-known works of Michael Jackson and beyond, died Sunday. He was 91.
His death was confirmed by his publicist in a statement to NPR that did not mention the cause of death. The statement said that Jones died peacefully at his home in Bel Air, California, surrounded by his family.
"Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing," the family said in the statement provided by Jones' publicist, Arnold Robinson. "And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him."
In the 1980s, Jones helped oversee some of music's biggest and most widely loved moments: He produced or co-produced three of Michael Jackson's best-selling albums, including 1982's record-setting Thriller, and was heavily involved in crafting USA for Africa's 1985 charity single "We Are the World." But his career extended for decades in each direction. Jones long held the record for most Grammy nominations with 80, before Jay-Z and Beyoncé surpassed the total earlier this decade, and his 28 wins rank him third behind Beyoncé (32) and conductor Georg Solti (31).
Born Quincy Delight Jones in 1933, Jones got his start in jazz — at 19, he played trumpet in Lionel Hampton's band — and soon performed on stages with some of the world's best-known stars: Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley.
In the 1960s, Jones became a decorated film composer — he collected three of his seven career Academy Award nominations in 1968 and '69 — as well as a high-profile music-industry executive, arranger and producer. On albums like The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones and Quincy Jones Plays Hip Hits, he was the headliner, but he also worked behind the scenes, producing (among many others) a string of bestselling hits for Lesley Gore.
In the '70s, Jones remained in the spotlight as a performer and executive, expanding his reach with high-profile projects such as the soundtrack to The Wiz. But the 1980s found his name attached to a remarkable string of successes, from "We Are the World" and Thriller to his first foray into film production: 1985's The Color Purple, which made movie stars of Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg. Jones' star-packed Back on the Block, released in 1989, won the Grammy for album of the year in 1991.
Jones' successes extended well beyond music and film. Shortly after launching Quincy Jones Entertainment in 1990, he was presiding over long-running TV hits such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and MADtv. His 2001 book Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones detailed his many intersections with music's biggest moments and stars, as well as his mental-health battles and rocky upbringing in Chicago. Jones' philanthropic works extended well beyond USA for Africa and benefited causes such as music preservation, arts education and aid for underprivileged youth.
Jones' tumultuous personal life included three marriages and seven children, including actresses Kidada and Rashida Jones — his daughters with actress Peggy Lipton — and Kenya Kinski-Jones, a fashion model whose mother is German actress and model Nastassja Kinski.

#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Venom 3’ tops box office again
“Venom: The Last Dance” enjoyed another weekend at the top of the box office. The Sony release starring Tom Hardy added $26.1 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
It was a relatively quiet weekend for North American movie theaters leading up to the presidential election. Charts were dominated by big studio holdovers, like “Venom 3,” “The Wild Robot” and “Smile 2,” while audiences roundly rejected the Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Robert Zemeckis reunion “Here.” Thirty years after “Forrest Gump,” “Here” opened to only $5 million from 2,647 locations.
“Venom 3” only fell 49% in its second weekend, which is a notably small drop for a superhero film, though it didn’t exactly open like one either. In two weeks, the movie has made over $90 million domestically; The first two opened to over $80 million. Globally, the picture is brighter given that it has already crossed the $300 million threshold.
Meanwhile, Universal and Illumination’s “The Wild Robot” continues to attract moviegoers even six weeks in (and when it’s available by video on demand), placing second with $7.6 million. That’s up 11% from last weekend. The animated charmer has made over $121 million in North America and $269 million worldwide.
“‘The Wild Robot’ has quietly been this absolute juggernaut for the fall season,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “For that film to see an increase after six weeks is astounding.”
“Smile 2” landed in third place with $6.8 million, helping to push its worldwide total to $109.7 million.
The time-hopping “Here,” a graphic novel that was adapted by “Forrest Gump” screenwriter Eric Roth, was financed by Miramax and distributed by Sony’s TriStar. With a fixed position camera, it takes audiences through the years in one living room. Critics were not on board: In aggregate it has a lousy 36% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“It was a slow weekend anyway, but it didn’t resonate in a way that many thought it might,” Dergarabedian said. “There are a lot of films out there for the audience that ‘Here’ was chasing.”
Despite playing in almost 1,000 more locations, “Here” came in behind Focus Features’ papal thriller “Conclave,” which earned $5.3 million. Playing in 1,796 theaters, “Conclave” dropped only 20% from its debut last weekend and has made $15.2 million so far. Two Indian films also cracked the top 10 in their debuts, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” and “Singham Again.”
Overall box office continues to lag behind 2023 by almost 12%. But holiday moviegoing will likely give the industry an end-of-year boost with titles like “Gladiator II” and “Wicked” on the way.
“In a couple of weeks, it’ll get a lot more competitive,” Dergarabedian said.
Jesse Eisenberg’s film “A Real Pain,” a comedic drama about cousins on a Holocaust tour in Poland, launched in four theaters this weekend in New York and Los Angeles. It made an estimated $240,000, or $60,000 per screen, which is among the top three highest per theater averages of the year. Searchlight Pictures will be expanding the well-reviewed film nationwide in the coming weeks, going wide on Nov. 15 to over 800 theaters.
Box office charts don’t always paint a full picture of the moviegoing landscape, however. This weekend several relatively high-profile films playing in theaters did not report full grosses for various reasons, including the Clint Eastwood film “Juror #2,” Steve McQueen’s WWII film “Blitz” and the Cannes darling “Emilia Pérez.” Netflix, which is handling “Emilia Pérez,” never reports box office. Apple Original Films is following suit with “Blitz,” a likely awards contender, which is in theaters before hitting Apple TV+ on Nov. 22.
“Juror No. 2” is a Warner Bros. release, and a well-reviewed one at that. The film directed by Eastwood stars Nicholas Hoult as a juror on a murder case who faces a big moral dilemma. Domestic ticket sales were withheld. The studio did say that it earned $5 million from international showings, where it played on 1,348 screens.
Even major studios withhold box office numbers occasionally. Earlier this year, Disney did not report on the Daisy Ridley movie “Young Woman and the Sea.” Results were most notably withheld during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s really up to the distributors,” Dergarabedian said. “Often times the reason that certain movies may not be reported is that there’s a chance that the quality of the movie will be conflated with the box office number.”
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore, were:
1. “Venom: The Last Dance,” $26.1 million.
2. “The Wild Robot,” $7.6 million.
3. “Smile 2,” $6.8 million.
4. “Conclave,” $5.3 million.
5. “Here,” $5 million.
6. “We Live In Time,” $3.5 million.
7. “Terrifier 3,” $3.4 million.
8. “Singham Again,” $2.1 million.
9. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” $2.1 million.

Tyler Lepley Proposes To Longtime Girlfriend, Miracle Watts
It’s official—Tyler Lepley and Miracle Watts are headed down the aisle. The P-Valley co-stars got engaged on Sunday (Nov. 3) in front of a heart-shaped arrangement of white roses. Watts captioned the post with the diamond ring emoji.
The proposal comes just months after Watts seemingly issued Lepley an ultimatum. During a Q&A on her YouTube channel, she asked viewers for their thoughts on the appropriate timeline within a relationship to go from girlfriend to fiancée.
“I have a question. Do y’all think it’s disrespectful for a man not to marry a woman after being with her for a certain amount of years if they both agree that marriage is something that they want?,” the mother of one questioned. “We’re coming up on that time, so you better get it together.”
Earlier in the video, Watts expressed, “I better see myself getting married soon. Soon.”
The couple met on the set of P-Valley and started dating in July 2021. Lepley and Watts welcomed their son, Xi Leì, in October 2022. The Harlem star has two children, Leo and Jade, from a prior relationship with April King.
Despite King stating that they’re not a blended family, neither Lepley nor Watts are strangers to gushing over one another publicly.
For their third anniversary, she expressed, “Today we walk into our 3rd year of love and friendship. Its been a rollercoaster, but I’ve always loved a GOOD RIDE lol. I love this man, this good fine black man!! & when you got something good, you hold onto it! MY MAN, MY MAN, MY MAN #happyanniversary.”

James Van Der Beek Shares Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis
Actor James Van Der Beek has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. “I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,” the 47-year-old father of six told People in a story published on Sunday.
“There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good,” Van Der Beek added.
Numbers from the American Cancer Society show that colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States, when skin cancer is excluded from the statistics.
While colorectal cancer can be fatal, there has been a drop in death rates from the disease in recent decades.
The American Cancer Society attributes the decrease in deaths to the wider use of screenings and patients’ willingness to commit to lifestyle changes post-diagnosis.
Along with age and family history, there are a number of factors that can put people at a higher risk of getting colorectal cancer.
Those factors include having diets heavy in red meat and processed proteins, as well as eating too little fiber and overconsuming foods that are high in fat.
Tobacco use, excessive alcohol drinking and weight issues can also be contributing factors.
In addition to leading the popular teen drama “Dawson’s Creek” from 1998 to 2003, Van Der Beek also appeared in the medical series “Mercy” and played a sensationalized version of himself on ABC’s “Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23.”
His film credits include “Varsity Blues,” “The Rules of Attraction” and “Labor Day.”

Diddy Gets To Eat 'Breakfast Cake' On 55th Birthday In Jail
Sean "[P. Diddy]" Combs, once celebrated for his opulent parties and influential status in the music industry, is marking his 55th birthday behind bars. Arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, the disgraced music mogul now finds his birthday celebrations relegated to the confines of Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
Combs, who turned 55 on November 4, will start his day at 6 a.m. with a typical prison breakfast. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the menu includes items such as fruit, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, biscuits, and "oven brown potatoes." While inmates get a slice of "breakfast cake" daily, this is not a special treat for Combs' birthday. Contrary to his past birthday mornings, there's no coffee unless it's the weekend.
For lunch at 11 a.m., Combs can expect a choice of Southwest chicken wraps, chicken tacos, cheese pizza, or three-bean chili, paired with sides like green beans, rice, salsa, or cole slaw. Unfortunately for him, there won't be any birthday sweets as Monday lunches do not include dessert.
Dinner, which follows the 4 p.m. headcount, typically features either a turkey roast with rice and green peas or chicken/tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots. Though he can purchase comfort items like Nutella, Snickers, and hot chocolate if he has commissary funds, the former luxury lifestyle icon faces a harsh dietary contrast.
Last year, Combs celebrated his birthday with a lavish party at LAVO restaurant in London, joined by celebrities like Janet Jackson and Naomi Campbell. Flashback to 2019, his 50th birthday saw an extravagant celebration at his Beverly Hills mansion with an A-list guest list including Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, and Kim Kardashian. The contrast now could not be more stark.
In addition to grappling with the limited food options, Combs' attorney, Marc Agnifilo, revealed that his client finds prison food particularly challenging. "I think the food's probably the roughest part of it," Agnifilo stated.
Combs remains behind bars as he awaits his trial, set for May 5, 2025, after pleading not guilty to all charges. Accusations against him include organizing "Freak Off" parties where attendees reported being drugged and sexually assaulted. Despite the hefty charges and severe allegations, Combs maintains his innocence, with his legal team preparing for a strenuous battle ahead.
Regardless of the outcome, this birthday marks a significant low in Combs' once glittering life, underscoring a dramatic fall from grace for the former king of hip-hop.

Prosecutors Consider Charges Against Russell Brand Over Alleged Sexual Assault
British prosecutors have received a file of evidence from the Metropolitan Police in connection with alleged sexual offenses committed by comedian and actor Russell Brand. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed on Saturday that it will now review the evidence to determine whether charges should be brought.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police have interviewed 49-year-old Brand three times over "non-recent sexual offenses." Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, who leads the investigation, stated, "Our investigation continues, and a file has been passed to the CPS."
In September 2023, British media outlets Channel 4 and the Sunday Times reported claims by four women alleging that they were sexually assaulted or raped by Brand between 2006 and 2013, during the height of his fame. Another woman told BBC News that an incident occurred while she was working in the same building as the BBC's Los Angeles office.
Brand has denied the allegations, asserting that his relationships were "always consensual." Known for his unbridled and risqué standup routines, Brand has hosted shows on radio and television, written memoirs about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, appeared in Hollywood films, and was briefly married to pop star Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012.
In recent years, Brand has largely faded from mainstream media attention but has amassed a significant online following with videos merging wellness and conspiracy theories. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan previously defended the platform's decision to suspend monetization of Brand's channel, citing YouTube's creator responsibility guidelines policy in cases where off-platform behavior could harm the creator ecosystem.
The CPS decision to charge Brand will be made based solely on the evidence presented and in accordance with its legal guidelines. The outcome of the review is currently pending.

Broadway Star Kecia Lewis Says Patti Lupone Calling ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ Show ‘Too Loud’ Is ‘Bullying’ & ‘Racially Microagressive’
Broadway’s Kecia Lewis has a message for actress Patti Lupone. In a six-minute video shared to Instagram on Sunday (November 3), Kecia Lewis called out Patti Lupone after she called the Hell’s Kitchen show “too loud.”
Kecia Lewis, who won a Tony Award after starring in the production as Miss Liza Jane, broke down a few instances involving Patti Lupone and said,
“The first one is that you contacted our theater owner about changing a couple of our sound cues because you found them to be too loud. You also, after our sound design was adjusted, sent flowers to our sound and stage management team thanking them. I wanted to address this because, Ms. LuPone, these actions, in my opinion, are bullying. They’re offensive, they are racially microaggressive, they’re rude, they’re rooted in privilege. And these actions also lack a sense of community and leadership for someone as yourself, who has been in the business as long as you have.”
She ended by telling Patti Lupone, “I respectfully submit to you that you owe us an apology — not flowers.”
As of now, it doesn’t look like Lupone has issued a public apology.

Chloë Grace Moretz comes out as gay in post supporting LGBTQ rights while endorsing Kamala Harris
Actor Chloë Grace Moretz came out as a gay in an Instagram post on Friday that also served as an endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris.
"I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris," Moretz wrote in the caption of an Instagram post showcasing an "I voted early 2024" sticker on her jeans.
"There is so much on the line this election. I believe the government has no right over my body as a woman, and that the decisions over my body should come ONLY from myself and my doctor," Moretz wrote, adding, "Kamala Harris will protect that for us."
Moretz, 27, then said that “as a gay woman,” she believes in the need for legal protections for the LGBTQ community.
"We need protections in this country and to have access to the care we need and deserve," Moretz said before asking her followers if they are voting early.She also encouraged followers to make a plan to go to their polling places with friends.
Moretz, who used to date Brooklyn Beckham, has been linked to model Kate Harrison for about five years. The pair often shares photos of themselves together on social media.
In 2018, Moretz played a gay teen who was sent to a conversion therapy camp against her will in the movie "The Miseducation of Cameron Post."
During promotion for that movie, she told Deadline she has been an "activist for the LGBT community since I was a little girl, having two gay brothers in my family."
During the same press tour, Moretz was clearly irritated when a reporter from The Independent told her that her name was included in an article about straight actors playing gay characters.
"Oh really?" Moretz told The Independent at the time. "Well I think what's important is don't assume anyone's sexuality. I mean, across the board, don't assume."
She continued: "We're all human, trying to be with the people that we fall in love with, and be the best person that we can be. But don't assume people's sexualities. And don't project your own issues onto them. Why don't we let people be who they wanna be?"

Robert De Niro Crashes NFL Tailgate Ahead of Eagles Game to Lobby for Kamala Harris: 'Eagles Tailgate Silver Lining'
"Eagles tailgates remain elite," the Philadelphia football team wrote on social media about the Hollywood star's surprise appearance
Robert De Niro was spotted in an unlikely place! On Sunday, Nov. 3, the actor, 81, crashed the tailgate ahead of the Eagles-Jaguars game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to lobby for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
NFL shared two photos of De Niro's surprise appearance at the stadium on X (formerly Twitter), writing, "Robert De Niro showed up at an @Eagles tailgate."
In the snaps, De Niro can be seen standing among football fans decked out in green and black attire to show their support for their team. Meanwhile, the actor is wearing a black coat over a gray shirt and holding a stack of white papers.
The photos were captured by sports fan Mark Kremer, who shared them with the caption, "Did Robert De Niro join your tailgate? No? That’s why the tailgates hosted by @philatticus and @ianfromphilly are the best."
The Eagles and Sunday Night Football on NBC also reposted the images on X. The NFL team shared one of the two photos with the caption, "Eagles tailgates remain elite," while the sports program made a reference to De Niro’s Eagles-loving character in the 2012 romantic comedy Silver Linings Playbook.
"Eagles tailgate silver lining: seeing Robert De Niro," the NBC show quipped in the caption of its post, which included a photo of De Niro at the tailgate along with a snapshot of the actor in Eagles attire in the movie.
Another spectator shared a clip which shows De Niro interacting with the crowd as “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada played in the background. The two-time Oscar winner can be seen nodding and chatting animatedly with a person standing behind a table of barbecue food.
Michael Embrich, former member of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs' Advisory Committee on the Readjustment of Veterans, posted that he was campaigning with De Niro at the time. "Honored to join Robert De Niro, Secretary Kerry and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan at the Eagles tailgate! Let’s get out the vote for Kamala Harris! #GoBirds #Vote," he wrote on X.
Along with his impassioned post, Embrich shared a photo of De Niro speaking into a microphone at the tailgate while surrounded by a group of people.
Robert De Niro speaks to a group of people at an Eagles tailgate on Nov. 3
This is not the first time De Niro has showed his support for Harris, 60. In September, he participated in a livestream with fellow actor Steve Buscemi to voice their support and help raise funds.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, De Niro said he was "optimistic" that Harris and running mate Tim Walz will win the election, but encouraged people to not get complacent.
"I’m very excited, but to me, it ain’t over till it’s over. So we can’t for one second think that we’re ahead of this thing," De Niro said.
"We just have to be on it all the time until the very end because they’re going to try everything when the election day comes," he continued. "When will these things be final? What will they question? What will they play games about? We know it’s coming, we see it coming. We have to just be ever vigilant, and it’s not over till it’s over."

NBA Investigating Reports That Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid Shoved Columnist
The National Basketball Association is investigating reports that Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid “shoved” a columnist following the team’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.
A visibly angry Embiid confronted Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes as reporters entered the Sixers locker room, according to the Associated Press.
Hayes had published a column on October 23 criticizing Embiid for not being prepared for the season. In the column, Hayes referenced Embiid’s late brother Arthur and his 4-year-old son.
“The next time you bring up my dead brother and my son again, you are going to see what I’m going to do to you and I’m going to have to … live with the consequences,” Embiid told Hayes, according to the AP.
Embiid reportedly continued mouthing at Hayes, who eventually offered an apology to the 76ers center. However, Embiid refused Hayes’ attempts to make amends.
After saying that he doesn’t care what reporters say, Hayes interjected with, “But you do.” leading Embiid to get louder. Embiid then pushed Hayes on the shoulder and the team’s public relations chief got in between them, AP reported.
An NBA spokesperson told CNN the league has started an investigation into the incident. “We are aware of reports of an incident in the Sixers locker room this evening and are commencing an investigation,” the spokesperson said.
CNN has reached out to the Philadelphia 76ers and Embiid’s agent but did not immediately hear back. The newspaper came to its reporter’s defense with a statement issued Sunday.
“Marcus is an experienced and accomplished columnist who offers sharp and illuminating commentary grounded in his observations,” said Inquirer editor and senior vice president Gabriel Escobar. “You are free to disagree with what he says, but a physical assault is unwarranted and untenable and we are taking this matter very seriously.”
In the column in question, Hayes brought up Embiid’s late brother and son while questioning the player’s professionalism.
“Joel Embiid consistently points to the birth of his son, Arthur, as the major inflection point in his career. He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for the boy named after his little brother, who tragically died in an automobile accident when Embiid was in his first year as a 76er,” Hayes wrote.
“Well, in order to be great at your job, you first have to show up for work. Embiid has been great at just the opposite. Now in his 11th season, he consistently has been in poor condition,” Hayes continued. “This poor conditioning apparently seems to have delayed his debut this season.”
On Friday, Embiid fired back at recent criticism of his absences, specifically mentioning Hayes.
“When I see people say ‘he does not want to play,’ I’ve done way too much for this city, putting myself at risk for people to be saying that. I do think this is bullsh*t,” Embiid said.
Embiid continued: “Like that dude, he’s not here, Marcus, I’ve done way too much for this f**king city to be treated like this. Done way too f**king much. I wish I was as lucky as the other ones, but that does not mean I’m not doing whatever it takes to be out there, which I’m going to be.”
The 76ers were fined $100,000 by the NBA on Friday for public statements made by team president Daryl Morey and head coach Nick Nurse that were inconsistent with his health status and violated the league’s rules.
In September, Embiid signed a three-year contract extension with the 76ers, worth a reported $192.9 million, a source familiar with the contract figures told CNN.
He has not played in a game this season, and the team sits at 1-4 following Saturday night’s loss as they continue to play with Embiid and offseason acquisition Paul George.

November is National Diabetes Month: Understand Your Risk and Actions for a Healthier Life
As we have officially wrapped up spooky season, November marks a new meaning. Outside of Thanksgiving, the month is known for being National Diabetes Month, which brings in a moment to raise awareness about the health condition and the critical need to know your risk.
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions across the world and can lead to other major health complications, including heart disease and kidney damage. While diabetes can be scary, the expansion of modern-day technology has allowed us to understand our chances and the preventative measures we can take to stay healthy.
But, the lingering question that most have is, how do you know if you’re at risk? Multiple factors can contribute to the likelihood of a person being diagnosed with diabetes. For starters, family history and genetics are the most significant factors in the development. If your parent or someone in your family has diabetes, there’s a high chance that you can develop the condition. Additionally, another major factor is being overweight, as excess body fat can lead to insulin resistance, which is a precursor to Type 2 diabetes.
Age is also a factor to consider when knowing your risk. People over 45 usually have a higher likelihood of developing diabetes than someone younger, but that doesn’t mean that they’re exempt from the condition. In addition, certain ethnic groups, including African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans, are at higher risk.
Being aware of the early symptoms of diabetes can help tackle them before they cause bigger health problems. Some things to watch for when looking for the condition include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms, reach out to your doctor or healthcare provider.
