Guy Fieri Speaks Out After Getting Backlash For Embracing Tate Brothers At UFC Fight—But Not Everyone's Buying It
In a moment that felt less Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and more “who signed off on this,” Guy Fieri found himself at the center of backlash after a very public embrace of two of the internet’s most polarizing figures.
Food Network star Guy Fieri is facing social media backlash over his friendly greeting of controversial “manosphere” influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate at a recent UFC fight, prompting him to release a statement claiming he doesn’t actually know them and does not support them “in any way.”
Fieri addressed the moment directly in a post on X Tuesday:
“I’m seeing all of your comments about the photo from Saturday’s UFC event, and all I can say is that I’m devastated. I was there to see the fights, and when I was walking through the venue, the Tate brothers stood up and said hello, and that’s when the exchange happened. I did not know them or about them before that moment.”
His explanation followed the rapid spread of video and photos from UFC 327, captured inside Miami’s Kaseya Center on April 11—an event that drew a high-profile crowd, including President Donald Trump. In the clips, Fieri greets Andrew and Tristan Tate with a handshake that turns into a shoulder bump and brief embrace, a moment that quickly took on a life of its own online.

And, of course, Fieri doubled down on his statement, attempting to draw a clear line between a brief public interaction and any perceived endorsement.
Insisting there was no support behind the interaction, Fieri added:
“I’ll never pretend to be a perfect person, but let me be crystal clear, I do not know the Tate brothers, nor do I support them in any way.”

But not everyone is buying it.
According to TMZ, Joe McBride, the brothers’ lawyer, pushed back on Fieri’s version of events, claiming the chef “knew exactly” who they were and only distanced himself after the backlash hit.
McBride says Fieri was "pressured into his pathetic capitulation" by the same people who:
"Spent years manufacturing a case against two innocent men. They are not interested in justice. They are interested in control. And Guy Fieri just showed them it works."
Sure, Jan.
Online, the skepticism didn’t stop there. Social media users quickly questioned Fieri’s claim that he was unfamiliar with the Tate brothers, with many framing his response as a walk-back rather than a genuine explanation.

The backlash also put a harsher spotlight on who Andrew and Tristan Tate are and why the reaction was so immediate.
The brothers are currently under criminal investigation in multiple countries. In the UK, they face charges of rape and trafficking, according to the New York Times. In Romania, where they have also been investigated for human trafficking and rape, a court recently lifted “all preventative judicial control measures” while the case continues, per Reuters.
Andrew Tate’s travel restrictions were lifted in February 2025, and as of early 2026, he continues to contest the charges, while a U.K. investigation was reopened in March 2026.
The former kickboxers, who hold dual U.S.-British citizenship, have denied all allegations. Andrew Tate, described by Reuters as a “self-described misogynist,” has built a massive following promoting an ultra-masculine lifestyle that critics say denigrates women.
Fieri, a longtime Food Network fixture since 2006 and the face of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Guy’s Grocery Games, isn’t typically associated with this kind of controversy.
The online reaction was less about what he was serving and more about who he was seen standing next to—and what he claims to stand for these days.

Robot Chases Wild Boars Out Of Polish Neighborhood Before Waving Goodbye In Surreal Viral Video
Robots have received a lot of attention in the media lately, particularly for situations like the delivery robot that circled around a houseless man without a second thought, reminding us of its lack of humanity and empathy.
But a humanoid robot in Warsaw, Poland, made headlines for a much different reason this week, protecting a neighborhood from a pack of wild boars that had wandered into the community.
The robot, who is apparently a popular Polish influencer and marketing gimmick dubbed Edward Warchocki, was caught on camera running toward the boars, which quickly turned and ran in the opposite direction. The robot continued to chase the pack through the neighborhood and across a large parking lot before the animals ran safely into the woods.
The robot then stopped in the middle of the parking lot, still looking in the direction of the boars, and lifted its right hand high in the air, waving at them as they disappeared into the trees.
No one was harmed throughout the incident, including the wild boars, the members of the neighborhood, and Edward the robot.
You can watch the video here:
Despite some people's concerns about humanoid robots, largely because of their strong resemblance to the digital creations in I, Robot, a science fiction film about humans' dependence on humanoid robots for help and the robots' eventual overthrow of them, a humanoid robot doing this is actually quite helpful.
Wild boars are strong, fast, and can be aggressive, so robots stepping into a role like this, where they spook the group and lead them back into the wilderness, is beneficial and reduces the likelihood of injury.
X users thought that Poland's use of these robots was innovative and impressive.
This is a refreshingly positive story, especially after recent examples of robots showing little regard for what's going on in the world around them.
This robot simply chased the wild boars out of town without harming them, preventing disruption and damage to the community.
'Who's The Boss' Star Danny Pintauro Reveals New Side Job To Show There's 'No Shame' In It—And Fans Are Applauding
Hollywood often frames reinvention as a return to fame, but Danny Pintauro is defining it on his own terms. The former child star recently revealed that he’s making a living as a delivery driver for Amazon Flex—and he’s not shy about it.
Pintauro, 50, first found fame as a child star on Who’s the Boss?, where he played Jonathan, the son of Judith Light’s Angela Bower, alongside Tony Danza as her housekeeper, Tony Micelli.
In a post shared last week, Pintauro gave fans a glimpse into his current routine with Amazon Flex, documenting a day spent delivering packages.
Alongside a candid snapshot from the driver’s seat, Pintauro wrote in a caption:
“Working hard while ‘not working.’”
The update shows how industry slowdowns continue to reshape the realities of working actors. According to FilmLA, Los Angeles producers reported approximately 18,560 shoot days in 2021, a number that fell to 7,716 in 2024.
Expanding on the reality behind the photo, Pintauro didn’t sugarcoat:
“The entertainment business has been soooo slow, so I’ve been doing what a lot of people do — figuring it out, showing up, and taking the work that’s there while I keep building the work I really want. 38 packages today!”
After his early success, Pintauro stepped away from acting to pursue his studies and has since spoken about the challenges of returning to the industry. Today, his work extends beyond the screen, including coaching actors and creating custom-designed “book nooks,” while continuing to audition.
And for anyone tempted to judge the pivot, Pintauro made his stance unmistakably clear:
“There’s no shame in staying in motion.”
You can view the post here:
In an interview with Today, Pintauro explained why the job works for him, pointing to the flexibility it offers and the relative privacy of the role.
He described the appeal of the role:
“I take a picture and walk away. No one sees me… Honest work is not embarrassing.”
He has also been candid about the financial realities behind child stardom. Speaking with People, Pintauro pushed back against the assumption that early success translates into long-term financial stability.
Addressing lingering misconceptions of fame and fortune, Pintauro clarified:
“People overestimate what residuals from a sitcom in the ’80s and ’90s look like. I invested a good portion of that money, but I also used a lot of it to pay for Stanford and to get through my early 20s, so it’s not like there’s just been endless money sitting there.”
His life off-screen has included deeply personal challenges. Pintauro came out in 1997, later saying he felt pressured into doing so after being contacted by a reporter who planned to publish the story regardless. In 2015, he publicly revealed he is HIV-positive, sharing that he was diagnosed in 2003 during a difficult period in his life.
His recent post struck a chord online, with social media users rallying around his transparency and praising his willingness to speak openly about the realities of steady work. Many echoed his message, emphasizing that there’s no shame in adapting as the industry continues to slow.

Reflecting on his current chapter, Pintauro summed it up in his own words
“This chapter is all about auditioning, teaching for Young Actors Theatre Camp, building my coaching studio, The Resonant Actor, creating custom book nooks for clients, and driving for Amazon Flex to supplement my income. There’s no shame in staying in motion while the entertainment business finds its footing.”
Pintauro has been in a long-term relationship with Wil Tabares, whom he married in 2014.
Earlier this month, he marked their 12-year anniversary with a tribute post:
For Pintauro, the delivery job isn’t just a footnote but part of the reality he’s choosing to show. And in doing so, he’s reframing what a “next chapter” can actually look like.
Rosie O'Donnell Hilariously Shuts Down Rumors She'll Be On 'Dancing With The Stars' After AI Photo Goes Viral
With the dawning of AI, we're basically in a time where we have no idea what's real or fake anymore—and sometimes it's really, really funny.
Case in point, an AI-generated photo of Rosie O'Donnell with a headline screaming that she'd be returning to the U.S. to make her big debut on Dancing With the Stars.
The ludicrous photo shows O'Donnell in a sequined gown and, for whatever reason, not just a perm but a perm cut into something discomfitingly close to a mullet.
The photo is so absurd O'Donnell shared it herself, calling it "completely untrue, but funny."
Along with the ridiculous portrait of O'Donnell, the image's headlines read:
"Rosie O'Donnell, 63, makes 'Dancing With the Stars' debut"
"She returns to the U.S. in an epic comeback!"
O'Donnell, as ever, was a good sport about the prank, the origins of which are unknown. But even she got quite a kick out of it, writing in her caption:
"This made me laugh- reminds me to never get a perm !!! Completely untrue but funny."
O'Donnell left the United States in 2025 just before our dear dictator took office. O'Donnell has long been an outspoken critic of the president, and left the country with her child Clay, now 13, in January of 2025.
In a TikTok posted in March 2025, she shared that she and Clay had landed in Dublin on January 15.
She has since shared several glimpses into her new Irish life and what it has been like to make a new home in a new country amid the turmoil the U.S. is experiencing.
@rosie hello all - here’s whats been going on folks - sending love ❤️- follow me on substack - link in my bio #bewell #speakkindlytoyourself #dourbest
And from the sounds of it, she doesn't have plans to come back any time soon. As she put it on TikTok:
"When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back."
So, it doesn't sound like there's much chance of a Rosie O'Donnell Dancing With the Stars stint.
But people were definitely as tickled as she was by the notion!









Though O'Donnell doesn't seem to have any plans to come back to the States, for Dancing With the Stars or otherwise, she and Clay have been back to visit recently, because, she told reporter Chris Cuomo, she "wanted to hold my children again."
O'Donnell's four other children with ex-wife Kelli Carpenter, Parker, Chelsea, Blake and Vivienne, are all adults in their 20s and 30s and still live in the States.
Nevertheless, O'Donnell says she has no qualms about moving abroad, telling Cuomo, "I don't regret leaving at all."
'Supernanny' Star Jo Frost Warns Of Impact Of Social Media On Kids In Impassioned Plea For UK Ban
At the beginning of 2026, the United Kingdom's House of Lords supported a proposal to prohibit those under 16 from access to social media to include the sites Facebook, X, TikTok, and Instagram. Any such ban would be introduced as an amendment to the government's schools bill.
Childcare author and television personality Jo Frost has now shared her opinion on the proposal. Ironically, on Instagram on Tuesday, Frost made an appeal to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to ban social media for children under 16.
Jo Frost is an author of six parenting books and a nanny with over 30 years experience. Frost became a household name and a familiar face in the United Kingdom and the United States due to the shows Supernanny UK (2004-2008) and Supernanny US (2005-2011 and 2020).
Frost said:
"This is a message to Keir Starmer. You are a father of two children so you know what it is to protect them, to understand what they're ready for and what they are not."
"I am speaking to you as a British citizen and someone who has spent nearly four decades in homes guiding them. What I'm seeing across all ages of childhood should stop us in our tracks."
Frost captioned the video:
"It is every child's right of passage to live and experience a childhood that is safe and protected."
You can see her video here:
Frost continued:
"I'm working with toddlers who are working with fast-moving content impacting their language, their behavior, their ability to sit and just simply connect."
"I'm seeing children as young as seven and eight already being poured into a world of comparison and exposure and influence."
"Then there's our teenagers, they're struggling with their identity, their self worth, they're struggling to regulate their emotions, exposure to sexual predators and dark online material. Their confidence is fragile."
"Their mental health is suffering, and their brains are still developing and being shaped by systems designed to keep them hooked in, not to help them grow."
"Their ability to focus, make decisions, cope with discomfort, it's not there. This is a pattern I'm witnessing every day in homes and I'm sitting with the parents who are overwhelmed, exhausted and often in despair."
Frost added:
"This is where leadership matters. Other countries are stepping forward. They’re recognizing that childhood must be protected in this digital age, and so must we. We have a moral responsibility to our families."
"This is your moment, Sir, to stand up, to lead with empathy, to lead with courage, to protect not just your own children, but every child in Great Britain. History will remember what you choose to do next, Sir. Act now. Raise the age, Prime Minister, raise the age to 16. Please."
Frost concluded by asking Starmer to:
"Give children the time they need to develop their brains, build resilience, form identity in the real world before they are exposed to the pressures of the online one."
Many people agreed with Frost's stance in the video post's comments.


















Some Australians shared that their government ban doesn't work without parental cooperation.




Australia's federal government implemented their social media ban for children under 16 on December 10, 2025. The supporting legislation mandates social media companies take "reasonable steps" to prevent users under 16 from having existing accounts or opening new accounts, with substantial fines levied against companies that don't comply.
As of now, Australia’s ban includes 10 major platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, Reddit, Threads, Kick, and Twitch.
The current digital age of consent for most platforms is 13 unless otherwise mandated.
