Gay Man's Story About A Recent Hookup Takes An Awkward Turn At The Car Wash—And Yikes
The TikToker was shocked, realizing what their relationship was and what it would do to the man's family.
But nothing could have prepared him for pulling through the automated car wash, only to realize that the man and his family were in the car in front of him.
He filmed the video, torn about what he should do, because he wanted to confront him, but he also didn't want to create an awkward and maybe harmful situation in the middle of a public car wash.
You can watch the original video here:
Some urged TikToker @sweetteataylor to call out the cheating husband.

Others agreed and joked about ways that he could do it.

In a follow-up video, the TikToker admitted that he wanted to confront the guy, but seeing the guy's wife and children present gave him pause.
The TikToker pointed out that he wasn't interested in being a "homewrecker" and would have made different decisions if he'd known what the man's wallet contained before they spent time together.
But when he saw the family at the car wash, he was tempted to approach and confront the man, and he was definitely interested in letting the wife know—in case it was new information to her—so she could make the decision that was best for her, her physical and sexual health, and her mental health.
But because the man knew where he lived and could retaliate, and because he didn't know what kind of home life the wife and children had with him, he didn't want to confront them right there and potentially put someone in danger. He also didn't want to bring the children into this, who were totally harmless and innocent bystanders.

Fellow TikTokers applauded his classy reaction to the situation.

Though TikTok hoped that he would have other opportunities to confront the man and let his wife know of what was going on, they otherwise applauded him for how he handled the situation, namely for being mindful of his safety and also not hurting the wife and children more than they already would be with the reveal of an affair.

Taylor Swift Just Appeared On Travis Kelce's Podcast—And Hilariously Trolled His Fans
Swift, Travis, and his older brother, former Philadelphia Eagles star and now ESPN spokesman Jason Kelce, are all well aware of the 41subgroup's pushback against Taylor Swift appearing in their games, stands, and media.
Since they've accepted it, they might as well have some fun with it.
The Kelce Brothers recently launched their podcast New Heights, which typically centers around football, games, players, and sports history, but for one episode and one episode only, they had a very special guest.
They really missed an opportunity to call it New Heights: Taylor's Version. Because the focus of that episode was for Swift to announce, for the very first time, her next album, which will be called The Life of a Showgirl.
A teaser trailer of their guest star went viral on Twitter (X), Instagram, and TikTok as Jason Kelce gave Swift the introduction she deserves:
"She is the most awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards. She has 14 Grammy Awards and is the only artist in history to win Album of the Year four times."
"Last December, she wrapped up 'The Eras Tour,' which spanned 149 shows across 51 cities, five continents, and was the most attended tour of all time."
"Her last album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' set a record with 1.76 billion streams globally within the first week alone."
"And as a fan of 'that guy on the Chiefs,' she has 19 wins, two AFC titles, and a Super Bowl. 92%ers, are you ready for it?!"
"Making her podcasting debut, the most requested guest in the history of shows, Taylor Swift!"
Swift thanked Kelce for the thoughtful and impassioned introduction and then used the opportunity to troll the fans who would definitely have a problem with her appearing on the show.
"Thank you; that was so nice. Thank you. Thank you for having me on my favorite podcast."
"As we all know, you know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast."
"And, um, I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens..."
"...It's more of me."
You can see the teaser trailer here:
This was clearly meant to be a joke, pointing out that there would be people who would be unhappy that Swift shared the Kelce brothers' space to share her next big accomplishment.
But male football fans came out in droves on Twitter (X), clearly not getting the joke.
Instagram and TikTok were much more positive spaces, with people finding Swift's jab to be utterly hilarious.

Though that subgroup of male football fans who can't stand Swift or her relationship with Kelce certainly came out of the woodwork for this podcast episode, Jason's yell into the microphone was more than loud enough to drown all of them out.
Not to mention Swift's confident quip and the many fans who showed up in the comments to laugh along with her.
Fans Outraged After Makeup Brand Features Controversial Comedian Matt Rife In New Ad Campaign
After his recent purchase of Ed and Lorraine Warren's home, which houses the infamous Annabelle doll, some have speculated how long it would take until something went wrong.
With his recent partnership with e.l.f. Cosmetics, it seems it didn't take long at all.

The greater issue here isn't that a comedian who tells edgy jokes was in an e.l.f. ad. Even if that seems like a surprising decision, it isn't an inherently bad one. The problem is some of Matt Rife's recent behavior, and the e.l.f. team's decision to hire him anyway.
Back in his 2023 Netflix comedy spotlight show, Rife made a joke about women and domestic violence, specifically that women would not be hurt if they simply did what they were "supposed" to do in the home, like cook and clean.
This ignited concern and rage across Netflix viewers and comedy fans alike, and the flame was restruck with Rife's partnership wtih e.l.f. Cosmetics.
In the ad, Rife plays opposite Heidi N. Closet as "E.l.f.ino and Schmarnes," as an obvious play on the widely publicized "Cellino and Barnes" attorney advertisements. In the e.l.f. video, the pair call out to people who have been "victimized" by expensive and ill-performing products and "injured" by high prices, as well as "red flags" in the makeup industry.
You can watch the video here:
@elfyeah have you fallen victim to overpriced beauty ⁉️ hit our line ☎️ 1-855-COLD-HARD-LASH today to see what your case is worth #elfcosmetics #eyeslipsface #ElfinoandSchmarnes
The word choice was not lost on viewers, and they cited the ad as problematic, based on Rife's past decisions.

Others pointed out that Rife has also complained about his "female fan base" and that he wants more men to follow him, making his partnership with e.l.f. Cosmetics all the more confusing.

Popular makeup artist Nikkie Tutorials came forward and said hiring Matt Rife was the final straw for her.

Even Wendy's had to say something.

After all the backlash, e.l.f. Cosmetics issued a statement, seeming to have parted ways with the campaign concept, but with no mention of what would happen in the future regarding Rife.
"You know us, we're always listening and we've heard you."
"This campaign aimed to humorously spotlight beauty injustice. We understand we missed the mark with people we care about in our e.l.f. community."
"While e.l.f.ino & schmarnes closes today, we'll continue to make the case against overpriced beauty."
You can see the statement here:

But for many former e.l.f. fans, it was already too late.

There are countless beauty brands in the world, and there seems to be a new product rolling out every minute of the day, so it stands to reason that a beauty brand would want to remain creative in their advertising and in their partnerships.
But choosing to partner with a controversial individual, and a harmfully controversial one at that, was too low for many of their fans. While their formulas may remain effective, affordable, and widely available, that won't be enough to earn every customer's trust back, "makeup injustice" attorney at their side or not.
Ariana Grande Costar Offers Hilarious Reaction After Fan Claims She's Never Cast Opposite 'Hot' Actors
Gisondo and Grande will star in the upcoming Focker-in-Law, the fourth installment of Meet the Parents.
And some "Arianators," as Grande's devotees are called, are not happy about it. Why? Because Gisondo is supposedly not "hot" enough.
After the casting announcement hit X, one fan responded by saying:
"why are directors afraid to put her with someone HOT."
Okay, ouch!
Gisondo's most recent project was the new Superman installment, and he is also well known for his appearances in the films Licorice Pizza and Booksmart and the series The Righteous Gemstones and Santa Clarita Diet on HBO and Netflix, respectively.
Perhaps that long resume helped prepare him for the slings and arrows of pop stans, because Gisondo took the criticism in stride with a hilarious quip on Instagram.
Posting screenshots of the fan's reaction to his Instagram, he added the caption:
"As you can see, initial fan reaction looking very positive."
Gisondo is set to play the son of the original Meet the Parents characters, Ben Stiller and Teri Polo. The film reportedly centers around the Fockers' son's engagement to a woman played by Grande.
Gisondo's post got a like from his future costar as well as her current beau and Wicked costar Ethan Slater, who, you know, is also being insulted in the tweet in question. It's nice to see them all joining forces against it!
They were far from the only people who pushed back on the tweet though—plenty of people came to Gisondo's defense to confirm that he is, in fact, hot.

Trans Nonbinary Track Star Nikki Hiltz Shares Powerful Video Documenting Their Top Surgery Journey
...Hiltz shared another milestone in their life.
On Instagram, Hiltz revealed to the world that they underwent top surgery—a form of gender affirming healthcare—just a month after representing the United States at the Paris Olympics in the 1500.
They wrote:
"Last year, exactly one month after I got home from the Olympic Games, I got top surgery. For those who may not know, top surgery is a form of gender affirming care. On Sep 13 2024 I underwent a surgical procedure to make my chest flatter so that it aligns more with my gender identity."
"It’s been pretty special to keep this little secret to myself and my close friends and family for the past 11 months but I finally feel ready to share with the world. I’m not sharing this for validation or opinions (good or bad) because honestly I don’t care. I love my new chest and that’s all that matters. I mostly just wanted to share to help normalize something that so often gets policed and vilified when it comes to transgender people deciding what to do with their own bodies."
"Before top surgery I would wear a binder almost every day to make my chest appear more flat, and when I wasn’t wearing my binder, it was hard to feel like myself. I would catch a glimpse of my reflection and cringe - before surgery I never met a mirror that was my friend when it came to my chest."
They added how their self image changed after surgery.
"Since September, I’ve been so happy in my body. I’ve obviously seen a difference in my chest but I’ve also noticed a change in my smile and posture too - I find myself holding my head just a little bit higher. It feels so similar to when I chopped off all my hair in 2018 or when I started using they/them pronouns in 2021. Just a small step to feel more and more like the Nikki I’ve always been."
"Gender affirming care is life changing and life saving. I’m grateful for my Emma, my family, my friends, my surgeon, and for all the beautiful trans people who came before me and showed me the way."
"To all the trans people reading this post right now I want you to know that even though they are banning a lot of things in order to make our lives far more difficult than necessary, one thing they can never ban is our trans joy. No matter what they do to our community I’m going to keep on showing up and keep on shining and I hope you join me in doing the same. I love you, I see you, I need you, keep going."
On August 12, they shared a video about their journey as well as their gratitude for the support and kindness they received in response to their prior post.
They wrote:
"Since announcing I had top surgery I’ve been overwhelmed by all the love and support! Thank you to everyone who has called, texted, reached with a kind message or commented something uplifting, it really does mean a lot. Here’s a little peek behind the scenes of the journey I’ve been on this past year- excited to share more soon! Gender affirming care is healthcare!"
Their partner Emma Gee responded.
