People Reveal The Dark Secrets They Discovered About Someone After They Died
That is a given.
And everyone is entitled to have their own private stories.
But some stories are Earth-shattering craziness.
Too often, we learn who someone really was after a goodbye.
Makes you question everything you ever knew.
Let's talk about truth...
A deleted Redditor wanted to hear about all of the scandalous tea exposed after people's deaths, so they asked:
"What’s the darkest secret you’ve discovered about someone after they passed away?"
The Stash
"Found out my close friend's death wasn't from an undiagnosed heart condition that his family told us, it was a heroin overdose. His family knew because they'd seen the medical report, but me and his other close friends knew nothing about it til we came together to clean out his house and discovered his stash."

All Over 70
"At my last job, at a natural history museum, we sometimes received collections as part of a will. One time, we found valuable coins in a donated butterfly collection, so we contacted the relatives. The late donor's wife and other relatives, all over 70, sat with us as we opened the lid. Beneath the pinned butterflies were sealed envelopes. We opened them, expecting more treasure, but found love letters to another woman. The atmosphere quickly turned awkward."

87
"Had a great-aunt (my grandmother’s sister)."
"She was a pillar of her community, and everyone loved her. She died peacefully at 87, and there was an upbeat celebration of life ceremony."
"At the end of the touching speeches, her daughter got up and announced that this woman had killed her husband/their father—who was thought to have died during a home invasion—and blackmailed the children to stay quiet."
“Celebration of life” wrapped up pretty quickly after that."

Then the penny dropped...
"Dark, but sad-dark..."
"My dad's eldest cousin died very suddenly of an aneurysm when she was 40, leaving 4 children."
"Aunts and uncles in the family were rushing around trying to find my grandfather. My dad didn't understand why there was so much urgency compared to telling other relatives. Then the penny dropped."
"She was his sister."
"Before he was married, my grandfather had had an affair with a married woman. She had reconciled with her husband, but he didn't want another man's child. My great-aunt and her husband adopted the baby."
"Obviously, it was right for her to be adopted within the family if my granddad didn't want to be a single father, but the kids should have been told. My dad was an only child, and for up to 31 years, he could have known he had a big sister. He had her photo in a prominent position in his living room for the rest of his life."

FLAMES
"My grandfather was a serial arsonist and insurance fraudster who never got caught. He burned down the family home for insurance money when his kids were little. Several years later, he did it again to their new home, destroying multiple irreplaceable heirlooms and many family photos, as well as killing the family dog."
"When my dad was a teenager, Grandpa paid him and a couple of his friends/cousins to 'steal' his car and total it. They smashed it up with baseball bats and set it on fire in a ditch. Shortly before Grandpa died (in his 70s, over a decade ago), his old barn 'accidentally' caught fire and burned down too. The insurance company replaced it with a nice, shiny, new barn."
"I always wondered why my aunt had such a distant, strained relationship with her dad. Turns out she found out the truth about those house fires when she was a young adult and never recovered from it. She lost a lot that was important to her in those fires, including the dog. Can't say that I blame her."

The Family
"I grew up in a large family. My dad and mom had 8 kids, but my dad had 3 others from a previous marriage. They were much older than the 8, so we considered them adults while growing up."
"I spent a good deal of time with their kids growing up, as they were mostly around our age. I always thought it weird that some of these cousins looked nothing like anyone else in our family."
"Turns out one of the three kids my dad had from a previous marriage wasn't his. His wife at the time cheated on him with her drug dealer. He opted to raise the kid as his own rather than let him be raised by two druggies."

SHOCKED!
"Back in the day when I was a teenager my neighbor passed away… dude was like an uncle to me and my brothers and sisters… he had a daughter that to this day is like our sister… very upstanding dude, pillar of the community, coach our baseball and basketball teams, worked 2 jobs and was always present."
"So he passed away, and at his funeral, his second family shows up out of nowhere. Like a full-blown second family, mistress, 2 really young kids that look like him, the whole thing was so bizarre to understand as a teenager myself in those days. Like how? At what time?"
- Socialslander
Merry Christmas
"I just found out last year that my grandad, who passed in 2012, upped and left the family when my mum was 15, moved in with a woman, and had a son with her. He then moved back in with my mum, grandma, and aunt and pretended the son didn’t exist and everything just carried on as normal."
"Last year, my mum and aunt got a random letter from an adoption agency on behalf of the son looking to find his family, and we all met him at Christmas. We feel bad for him as he has so many questions about my grandad that we just don’t have the answers to."
- jimmyrosssss
My Dad
"My dad was a piece of work. During my lifetime, he really only had one redeeming quality, and that was how he handled my severely autistic little brother. He himself was disabled from a back injury at work, and I was working and paying the mortgage along with one of my brothers, who was helping all through high school."
"We both had a room there, but it was easier not to be there, and so I couch surfed from 16 to 18. Two of my high school teachers who knew my home circumstances got together and paid for my application, along with putting in recommendations at their alma mater, still a top 10 school today. When he died, we put anything that obviously wasn't trash into storage."
"He developed a hoarding disorder near the end of his life, so that was the easiest way to deal with it at the time. Years later, we were going through his stuff and I found an open acceptance letter with a full scholarship, plus housing and a stipend that he obviously knew about but never shared with me. I could have been Ivy League educated for free."

65
"'Not really dark, but instead sad. When my (ex) FIL passed away, his wife and all the kids thought he took care of her financially and also had everything sorted out.' He was always a very organised person and seemed to be smart enough to think of the future…. Well, this guy had 0 savings and no life insurance or anything. So his wife is now forced to work for the first time ever, and she’s 65."
- Grownupminniemouse
The Scandal
"My grandma was a teenage runaway who eloped with her boyfriend and lived with his family in a small shack. I guess my great-grandfather went to get her and they had the marriage annulled."
"I think only her sisters knew about it for years, and one of them finally told one of her kids."
"On the other side, I didn't know my great-grandfather had married a set of sisters. He was married to the oldest sister first, and she died when their baby was small. My great-grandmother moved in to take care of her for him, and they ended up getting married and having a child together too."
"My grandma and great aunt were sister-cousins."
"Also, my grandma was already a couple of months pregnant with my dad when she married my grandfather. Such a scandal for a good Christian girl back in the 50s."
- will_write_for_tacos
Mind Blown
"I live in Melbourne, Australia. My grandparents lived in Essendon and supported the Essendon Football Club. My dad was born in Essendon and supported the club. I support the club. My kids support the club."
"After my grandfather passed away, and my father had passed away, my grandmother quietly let on that she secretly supported the Western Bulldogs and had done all along."
"F**king crazy. Blew our minds."
- chowindown
To the Lord
"Two ‘wives’ with two families turned up at my work colleague’s funeral. The original wife had the words ‘gone to the Lord to ask forgiveness’ etched on his tombstone."

Oh My God Reaction GIF Giphy
Well, that is ALL a lot to digest.
Villains live among us.
So many extra families.
How can a person even keep all of these secrets?
The stress of it all would kill me.
Anyone else have some tea to spill?

Jesse Watters Pathetically Tries To Burn Hakeem Jeffries With Bizarre 'Rule For Men' Rant
@repjeffries/Instagram
Watters—who has no problem altering his own looks by wearing make-up on the air every day—seized on this by outlining yet another one of his absurd "rules" for men, this one suggesting that men who use Photoshop are, well, less manly.
He said:
“Rules for men: A man should never Photoshop his picture, ever."
"A man who Photoshops his picture is a woman. And you never shrink your hips. Why is he shrinking his hips? Does he have childbearing hips?”
“What is it about his hips that he’s uncomfortable with?”
When co-host Harold Ford Jr. asked Watters if he had ever altered a photo of himself, Watters deflected by attributing the behavior to women and even dragged his wife, Emma DiGiovine, into the discussion:
“Me? Emma, but not me. No she doesn’t Photoshop but she does things, I think."
"I don’t know. Actually she doesn’t. She doesn’t, but you know how women do, they do stuff.”
You can hear what Watters said in the video below.
Many mocked Watters' rant.
Watters has made clear he is pretty much obsessed with what "real men" do and has made a fool of himself on the air while ranting about it.
Last month, he quoted the late poet and essayist Maya Angelou while praising Senate Majority Leader John Thune's "jacked" body after seeing him at the gym. Oddly, Watters claimed Thune's appearance is proof Democrats need to work out more to "become men."
Watters also once suggested former President Joe Biden is "not manly" for publicly enjoying ice cream, demonstrating his weird fixation on other men's eating habits. He later outdid himself when he questioned Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's "masculinity" because Walz drinks his vanilla shakes with a straw.
Snoop Dogg's Puppy Instagram Breaks Internet
Snoop’s Instagram announcement is shown below:
And on July 3rd, Snoop announced that Baby Boy Broadus had his own Instagram account, featuring snapshots, cartoon art, and videos of the celebrity pup’s life.
The rapper wrote in the caption beneath an Instagram post from Complex:
“Baby Boy created tha IG account himself🐶 🧠 puppy genius”
With over 114,000 followers, Baby Boy is living the L.A. dream with Snoop’s grandchildren, outings in the park, and visits to the… gulp, veterinarian.
You can see Snoop comforting his puppy after giving him his medicine:
Snoop adopted Baby Boy after saying goodbye to his beloved French bulldog Juelz Broadus on June 12th.
In an Instagram slideshow, the rapper paid tribute with the background music from Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s 2015 hit “See You Again,” featuring photos of Juelz as a puppy, snuggling with Snoop, surrounded by cash, hanging out with Snoop’s family and friends, and side-eyeing Darth Vader himself.
Snoop’s heartfelt post about Juelz can be seen here:
According to TMZ, Juelz was a gift from Snoop’s “Young, Wild & Free” collaborator, Wiz Khalifa, as a surprise birthday present in 2014. Known as Snoop’s own “guard dogg,” Juelz’s life was also showcased on his Instagram account, which has over 52,700 followers.
Snoop Dogg has long been a dog fan, from hosting the Puppy Bowl with Martha Stewart as the coach of Team Fluff in 2021 and 2022 to creating his own Puppy Bowl-themed party snacks and cocktails, including “Gin & Juice” and a “Salty Dog,” which was a twist on the classic Greyhound cocktail.
Snoop also launched his own fashion pet line called Snoop Doggie Dogg in 2022, featuring harnesses, bandanas, hats, hoodies, jerseys, and silver and gold doggy bowls.
In the press release, he described the brand as:
"If my dogs ain’t fresh I ain’t fresh. These dogs and their apparel are a reflection of Tha Dogg himself, so they gotta look the role of a Top Dog, ya dig?!?!”
He also appeared on Buzzfeed Celeb’s Puppy Interview, where he answered questions while promoting rescue dogs from “the HIT Living Foundation,” a non-profit based in Los Angeles.

Snoop Dogg is a producer on the project, which will showcase the rap legend’s legacy and his impact on popular culture—for humans and canines.
Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting
You can watch a portion of Trump's rambling here:
After pointing out George Washington, Trump launched into a rambling diatribe about Presidents Eisenhower and FDR.
In just a brief part of his more than 11 minutes of speaking, Trump said:
"[Dwight Eisenhower] was the toughest President on immigration. He, uh, he was very strong at the borders. Very, very strong. And sometimes you could be too strong. He was strong at the borders. And during a certain period of time, they were so strong that almost every farmer in California went bankrupt."
"We have to remember that. We have to work together. We have to remember that. But he was a very good President and, uh, very good general and a very good President. And I thought he deserved a position on this floor."
Moving on to FDR, Trump said:
"And then you have, this is very exciting to me, uh, he was not a Republican to put it mildly, but he was, you know, he's a four termer. He was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And if you notice, there were a lot of ramps outside. You have ramp people say it's an unusual place for a ramp. It was because of him. He was, uh, wheelchair bound."
"Uh, but he was an amazing man. Uh, it's an amazing portrait. And we used to have him in the room, a different portrait. And it was a terrible portrait. It was almost like it was done by a child. And I used to say, you know, I can't believe that he would have approved of that portrait of himself."
"And I was in the vaults and looking at things. I said, 'What's that?'. And we have some great curators here. We have six curators at the White House. They have two for paintings. They have them for furniture. They have them for different things. I guess cost is no object. Okay. Cost is maybe, I'd have a– but that's all right. But we have six and they're very talented though."
"And he said, 'That's a picture of FDR.' I said, 'Really? Let me see it.' They took off the wrappings, very well preserved. And I said, 'That's the picture they've been looking for for years.' That was the picture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And I said, 'Oh, wow.'"
"And likewise, that fit frame wise. It just doesn't work. It doesn't work if you have, I want to be nice, but it doesn't work if you have a big frame, a little frame, and you– But it's like perfection. I'm a perfectionist."
Trump's inane rambling, false claims, and non sequiturs again raised questions about his fitness to remain in office.
Stream of consciousness speaking—when the individual says every thought that enters their head—and "word salad"—when thoughts are repetitive and/or disjointed—and tangential speech—when the individual has difficulty staying on topic—are signs of dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment.
But the presidential portraits were just part of Trump's monologue.
After talking about his "right" as President to take anything he likes from any federal government space, as well as the flags in the cabinet room, drapes, tchotchkes, false claims about how often stored items are rotated or cleaned, ceiling medallions for pendulum lights, the movies Pearl Harbor and Tora! Tora! Tora!, Trump moved on to his last design challenge.
He told the gathered press:
"We also painted the room a nice color, beige color. Uh, and it's been, uh, it's been really something. The only question is will I gold leaf the corners? You could maybe tell me my cabinet could take a vote."
"You see, you see the, you see the, top line moldings and the only question is do you gold leaf it because you can't paint it. If you paint it, it won't look good because they've never found a paint that looks like gold."
"You see that in the Oval Office. Uh they've tried for years and years. Somebody could become very wealthy, but they've never found a paint that looks like gold."
"So painting it is easy, but it won't look right. And the question is whether or not we should gold leaf it."
Trump then began asking various cabinet members and members of the press if they'd gold leaf the room's molding.
But he was soon off on a new rambling tangent about President McKinley, Mount Denali, Ohio, tariffs, and President Barack Obama.
Trump's personal style—as displayed in his Trump tower apartment and Mar-a-Lago—has been described as anything but tasteful. "Garish" and "gaudy" and "tacky" are the usual adjectives associated with his decor choices.
And his golden updates to the Oval Office, and the White House in general, are no different.

@localnotail/Bluesky
Gold cherubs from Mar-a-Lago were brought to the White House, as well as gold vases, urns, and a gold ‘Trump’ crest installed over the door leading into the White House.
There are also gold drink coasters with the president’s surname printed on them.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams Roasted After Viewers Notice Awkward Detail In His 'Morning Routine' Video
In Adams’ take, viewers see him shaving, ironing a dress shirt, making a smoothie, eating fresh fruit, and departing Gracie Mansion in the Chevrolet Suburban High Country that serves as his official ride around the city.
You can see his video below.
But eagle-eyed viewers noticed something off. A black-and-white wall clock in Adams’ kitchen suggests the mayor’s day may have started later than he claimed. As he prepares his smoothie, the clock clearly shows 11 a.m.—even though the video’s on-screen timestamp says 9 a.m.
You can see the screenshots below.

The commentary was hilarious.
Adams' support in New York City's general election is languishing in the low double digits, according to a new poll from political consulting firm Slingshot Strategies.
The survey shows Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani leading the field with 35% of the vote, followed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 25%, Curtis Sliwa with 14%, and Adams trailing with just 11%.
The numbers reflect a dramatic erosion of support across key demographics. Once-reliable backers appear to be turning away: only 16% of Black respondents said they would support Adams in a general election. In a striking twist, his strongest showing came from Republican voters, 26% of whom said they would back the mayor.
Adams’ campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro dismissed the poll's findings, calling it "just another example of how out-of-touch and unreliable political polling has become."
