Jenny McCarthy's Mold Battle: The Breakdown That Shocked Donnie Wahlberg New

Jenny McCarthy's Mold Battle: The Breakdown That Shocked Donnie Wahlberg

Jenny McCarthy is opening up about the continued effects of battling mold poisoning. “I didn’t realize you could have PTSD with mold until I had PTSD from mold poisoning,” McCarthy, 54, said on the Tuesday, November 10, episode of “The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show” podcast. “Anywhere I’d walk, I’d have a histamine reaction. Everywhere I’d go, I’d panic that there was mold even if there wasn’t mold in the places.” McCarthy’s concerns about being exposed to mold again amid her recovery from poisoning even alarmed her husband, Donnie Wahlberg. The podcast host described staying at a Las Vegas hotel with Wahlberg, 57, this past summer, where she had an apparent reaction. “We got in really late and I just passed out and woke up, and I woke up with my eyes a little swollen and I was like, ‘There’s mold in this room.’ I literally went in hysterics. I was crying so hard and had a nervous breakdown in that room,” McCarthy explained, noting “that my husband never saw me like this, ever.” “I can even cry about it now … when you’ve gone through 11 surgeries in 15 months, my body ... I could not handle it falling apart again,” she continued, admitting that her fear of contracting mold poisoning again also made her afraid of using Uber rides, going into restaurants and boarding airplanes. “People don’t realize that that happens and I had to work [on it],” she said of her PTSD. “I’m still working on it. I’m a lot better, but I’m not cured yet. I was determined to not let that take me down.” McCarthy previously opened up about her two-year battle with mold and mycotoxin poisoning on the October 28 episode of her eponymous podcast. The Masked Singer judge said that she went down “a rabbit hole of doctors, surgeries, teeth being pulled, mysterious growths popping up in places you are not expecting, implants literally falling out” before “realizing my immune system was fighting something so much bigger.” McCarthy eventually got to the root of the issue after experiencing fatigue. Her doctor suspected mold poisoning and had her tested. The doctor apparently told her, “Jenny, you’ve got serious mold. You’ve got the type of mold that causes seizures. If this thing crosses the blood-brain barrier, I’m going to be talking to you in hospital. You’re going to start seizing.” McCarthy said she is still recovering from the ordeal and has even been living in a tent. “I’m still in my mold detox, you guys. I’m still in it, like, I’m knee-deep in it,” she said. “I’m in month seven of detox and I’m too paranoid to honestly live anywhere else other than a tent.”

Former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's Financial Troubles Resurface Amid Bankruptcy New

Former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's Financial Troubles Resurface Amid Bankruptcy

See more of our coverage in your search results. Mark Robinson, the Republican former Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina whose campaign for governor of the Tar Heel State two years ago was sunk by resurfaced posts on a porn site’s message board, filed for bankruptcy earlier this month — with he and his wife claiming they had fewer than $800 to their name.Robinson, 58, and his spouse Yolanda Hill are seeking protection under Chapter 13 of the federal bankruptcy code, which allows wage earners to settle their debts over a period of several years while keeping hold of their personal property.In a Nov. 3 filing obtained by WRAL-TV, Robinson and Hill reported having $766.98 in liquid assets while owing creditors nearly $800,000 — including approximately $120,000 in credit card debt, another $94,000 in other debt and about $100,000 from collections accounts. Former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and his wife filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, reporting just $767 in liquid assets and nearly $800,000 in debt. Getty ImagesRobinson served as lieutenant governor for four years under Democrat Roy Cooper, who was elected to the US Senate last week as part of the “blue tsunami” that gave Democrats control of both houses of Congress.In 2024, Robinson won the Republican nomination for governor, but lost in a landslide to then-state Attorney General Josh Stein after CNN unearthed offensive statements the lieutenant governor made on the message board of adult site Nude Africa between 2008 and 2012.“I’m a Black Nazi!” Robinson wrote in October 2010, adding that same month, “Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it back. I would certainly buy a few.”In other posts, Robinson referred to Muslims as “little rag-headed bastards,” recalled “peeping” on women showering in a public gym “for about an hour” when he was 14, and said he enjoyed watching pornography featuring transsexual performers because it “takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson, 58, and his spouse Yolanda Hill are seeking protection under Chapter 13 of the federal bankruptcy code. Getty ImagesRobinson, who worked in a furniture factory and an aviation firm before entering politics, has been open about his past financial struggles, having filed for bankruptcy in 1998 and 1999. He and Hill, whom he married in 1990, previously filed for Chapter 13 protection in 2003 — when it emerged during those proceedings that Robinson had failed to file income taxes for the years 1998-2002.At the time of the 2003 bankruptcy, Robinson and Hill were operating a daycare center. Despite the future politician’s later claims that the business was a success, ABC News reported in 2024 that court filings showed Robinson had just $70 to his name — $40 in cash and $30 in savings — as well as $4,720 in personal property assets and debts surpassing $1 million.In October 2003, the Robinsons lost Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection due to failure “to comply with the requirements of the plan,” according to ABC News.While lieutenant governor, Robinson drew a six-figure salary each year he was in office. The current lieutenant governor, Democrat Rachel Hunt, earns more than $173,000 annually, according to WRAL.

Cruise Ship Horror: Blood on Hands Leads to Murder Charge New

Cruise Ship Horror: Blood on Hands Leads to Murder Charge

A cruise ship passenger was arrested on a federal murder charge after a housekeeper allegedly noticed blood on his hands and clothes, then saw a woman lying motionless, face down on the floor of his room aboard the MSC Seascape, according to the FBI. Jason Leon Watford, of Tyler, Texas, was taken into custody on Monday, November 9, after the cruise ship docked in Galveston, an FBI task force officer wrote in an affidavit filed with a criminal complaint. Watford, 48, is accused of fatally beating and strangling a female passenger, following an argument at a restaurant on the ship the evening of Sunday, November 8, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas said in a Tuesday, November 10, news release. A cruise ship investigator alerted the FBI to the suspected homicide that occurred in international waters after the woman was found dead in her room “with multiple facial injuries,” according to the affidavit viewed by Us. An investigation revealed that Watford and the woman got into an argument while dining together on the ship, resulting in Watford leaving a restaurant and going to his room, the affidavit states. The woman went to the room about 25 minutes later, according to the FBI. Within an hour, a housekeeper visited the room to deliver towels and spoke with Watford after knocking on the door, the affidavit states. The housekeeper saw what she suspected was blood on Watford as well as the woman on the floor and notified other cruise ship employees, according to the filing. “Security camera footage further showed the MSC employees calling ship security due to observing a motionless female lying face down on the floor,” the FBI task force officer wrote in the affidavit. Watford was detained by security personnel before the FBI responded to the ship after it docked in Galveston, according to the affidavit. In an interview with the FBI, Watford allegedly admitted to what happened while he and the woman were inside their room following their argument at the restaurant on Sunday, after they boarded the ship earlier that day. Watford told agents he and the woman “continued to engage in an escalating verbal dispute that caused him to ‘snap,’ and he struck [the woman] multiple times causing blood to emit from her mouth and onto his shirt, pants, and hands,” the affidavit states. According to the filing, FBI personnel discovered his blood-stained clothes inside the room. After hitting the woman, Watford said he choked her with his hands and also wrapped his arm around her neck while she was lying down, the affidavit states. He strangled her for about four to five minutes from behind, leaving her motionless when he let go, Watford allegedly told the FBI. The woman wasn’t identified by law enforcement. The Galveston medical examiner’s office is expected to perform her autopsy on Tuesday, per NBC News. The MSC Seascape continued the cruise after Watford was taken into custody, per CBS News Texas. “We are cooperating fully with the investigation and providing support to those impacted. The ship has left the port and resumed its planned itinerary,” MSC Cruises said in a statement to the outlet. “As this is an active investigation, we cannot provide more details. Our thoughts are with the guest's family and friends at this difficult time." Watford is due to appear in a Galveston federal courtroom for an initial appearance on Tuesday at 1 p.m., court records show. Information on whether he retained legal counsel wasn’t immediately available. If Watford is convicted of murder, he would face up to life in federal prison and a potential fine of up to $250,000. According to NBC News, Watford has prior jail records which show that he was arrested in 2024 on a charge of assault causing bodily injury to a family member. A judge sentenced him to 15 months of probation and 30 hours of community service.

Toukie Smith's Courageous Battle and Legacy Leaves a Mark New

Toukie Smith's Courageous Battle and Legacy Leaves a Mark

Model and actress Toukie Smith, the ex-girlfriend of Robert De Niro and the mother of his twins, has died at age 74 after battling multiple sclerosis. Smith’s two children with De Niro, Airyn and Julian, confirmed their mother’s death to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, November 9. Smith died Wednesday, November 4, in New York after a “long, courageous battle” with MS, Airyn and Julian, both 31, said. The twins said that their mom “shared in a remarkable family legacy that helped shape American fashion and culture,” adding that “her beauty, grace and unmistakable presence helped pave the way for generations of Black models and designers in fashion.” “Toukie was a force of nature,” Airyn and Julian said. “She left an indelible mark on our hearts and on everyone lucky enough to know her.” Smith was a highly recognized model and also appeared in the NBC sitcom 227. De Niro, 83, and Smith were live-in partners from 1988 to 1996. They welcomed Airyn and Julian in 1995 via a surrogate. De Niro also shares adopted daughter Drena, 59, and son Raphael, 50, with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, son Elliott, 28, and daughter Helen, 14, with ex-wife Grace Hightower, and daughter Gia, 3, with current girlfriend Tiffany Chen. In April 2025, Smith and De Niro’s daughter, Airyn, came out as a transgender woman. “Obviously no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They wanted it very private,” Airyn told Them in a profile published at the time. “They have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.” De Niro publicly expressed his support for his daughter, telling Variety in a statement, “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is. I love all my children.” In an October 2025 interview with Them, Airyn shared how her Oscar-winning father had supported her through her transition. “The support has still been nonstop from him, and I’m so grateful,” she said. “He was talking about how happy he was for me because I have an amazing boyfriend who he’s met, and [he said], ‘You have somebody who loves you for you, and you don’t need to change yourself for anybody.’” Airyn also opened up about discussing her transition during a therapy session with her father. “He said, ‘There’s no other thing to do than accept your kid for who they are and where they decide to go in life,’” she recalled. “He’s very good at being a dad and, not just that, [but also] accepting people from all walks of life.”

Prince Harry's Emotional Plea for Child Safety as Meghan Markle Faces Family Turmoil

Prince Harry's Emotional Plea for Child Safety as Meghan Markle Faces Family Turmoil

In his first public remarks since wife Meghan Markle’s father was arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornography, Prince Harry made some poignant comments about keeping children safe. “All children should be able to go online and discover something wonderful. A friend. An interest that becomes a passion. A place where they feel understood,” Harry, 42, said on Tuesday, November 10, addressing the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, at the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial. “They deserve to feel safe wherever they are. In a classroom. On a playground. At any time, no matter where they are,” he added, per BBC News and People. Earlier, Harry and Meghan, 45, were seen holding hands as they arrived at Tuesday’s opening of the Lost Screen Memorial in Brussels. The installation honors children who have lost their lives due to experiencing online harm. The Duke of Sussex delivered the address to the European Parliament solo. The BBC and Sky News reported that Meghan was scheduled to speak alongside Harry but reportedly did not feel emotionally strong enough. Instead, Meghan watched her husband’s speech from the front row. Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., was arrested in Florida on Friday, November 6, on a federal charge of possession of child pornography. He was released on bond the same day. The Central District of California U.S. Attorney’s Office alleged Friday that investigators found material depicting child sexual abuse in two storage units registered to Thomas Sr., 82, in the Los Angeles area. Among the material, prosecutors allege, are photographs of a man believed to be Meghan’s father with a nude prepubescent girl. “The FBI and our partners have arrested Thomas Markle Sr. after an FBI investigation revealed he was in possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM),” FBI Director Kash Patel claimed in a statement on Friday. “Mr. Markle allegedly targeted innocent children and sought to steal their innocence through his criminal actions. Working with our Justice Department partners, our agents moved quickly, identified and located the explicit material, and arrested Mr. Markle in Florida,” Patel continued. “This FBI will use every single resource at our disposal to protect innocent kids — any predator who targets children will have zero safe haven in this country or anywhere they try to hide.” Last month, Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., alleged to The Sun newspaper that he found storage boxes containing suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) at his father’s home in the Phillippines. He said he turned over the material to local authorities. Thomas Sr. denied the allegations of possessing CSAM. In a statement to Us at the time, Meghan said, “I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed.” Meghan said she became aware of unspecified allegations against Thomas Sr. in 2018. “In 2018, a letter was sent to the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection. That letter was subsequently shared with me. It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated,” Meghan said. “I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications’ distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children was for one reason: to protect them,” continued Meghan, who shares son Prince Archie, 7, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 5, with Harry. “I trusted that the authorities were doing the same for other families.” If you or someone you know is experiencing child abuse, call or text Child Help Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.

Jemima Goldsmith's Shocking Allegations Against Russell Brand Post-Sentencing

Jemima Goldsmith's Shocking Allegations Against Russell Brand Post-Sentencing

Russell Brand's ex-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith is speaking out after the disgraced comedian was sentenced following his multiple convictions for rape and sexual assault. “Firstly, and most importantly, I am and have always been strongly and unequivocally on the side of all of Brand’s victims,” Goldsmith, 52, wrote via X on Monday, November 9. “I am in awe of the courageous women who came forward at Brand’s trial, told their stories, testified and ensured justice was done. I have had my own personal experience of his violence, coercive control and abuse.” Goldsmith — who dated Brand, 51, for roughly a year around 2014 — claimed that she was once forced to contact police to have him removed from her home during an alleged “violence incident.” “I chose not to press charges at the time and not to go public with this, as I was worried about the impact of the press attention on my then teenage children,” she claimed. “I have neither seen nor spoken to Brand since that period in 2014. Whilst my pain in relation to this pales in comparison to what the women have testified in court have suffered, this was a difficult period in my life which has had a lasting impact.” Goldsmith’s allegations came hours after Brand appeared in a London court on Monday and was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after a jury found him guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Victim impact statements were read in court from the four women who came forward to report Brand’s crimes. Russell previously entered a not guilty plea before he was tried on the seven sexual offense charges, all of which he denied. (The actor was found guilty on four of the seven counts.) According to Goldsmith, she has assisted the journalists who helped expose the allegations against Brand and was willing to testify to his "abusiveness" in the event they were sued. “I have spent much of my professional career trying to support unfairly demonised and silenced women, such as Monica Lewinsky and defending free speech,” she added. “I am glad and relieved that Russell Brand has finally faced justice.” Us has reached out to Brand’s attorney for comment. The Metropolitan Police confirmed to Us on Monday that detectives are not done investigating the alleged actions of Brand. “The Met's investigation into allegations of rape made by two women remains ongoing,” a Met Police spokesperson said in a statement without identifying any of the alleged victims. "The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations.” Anyone who wishes to speak to detectives or make a report can contact the investigation team by email at CSOU@met.police.uk. If you have experienced sexual assault, call the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 for confidential support.

Getty ImagesKirk’s side also noted if the case dragged on for years, taxpayers would have to continue to foot the bill for Robinson’s pricey death penalty lawyers, who have already billed $1.6 million, Neiman said.“Charlie’s death should not lead to the lawyers defending his assassin becoming millionaires,” Neiman blasted.Robinson, 23, is charged with first-degree murder and related charges for allegedly perching on a rooftop, firing a gun over a crowd of 4,000 people, including kids, as the Turning Point USA founder was speaking at Utah Valley University, according to prosecutors.Robinson’s case is being handled in a court in Provo, Utah.

A recently laid-off father of two moonlighting as a DoorDash driver disappeared outside Pittsburgh last month — and cops have not ruled out foul play as the missing man’s father suggested he could have been a victim of a “carjacking.”Zachariah Schuck, 32, was last seen on the evening of Oct. 22 making a delivery in the borough of Monaca, the North Sewickley Township Police Department said in a Facebook post Saturday.Schuck’s car was found abandoned on a street in nearby Hopewell Township an hour and a half after his last delivery — around the same time his phone went dark, according to investigators.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 734px" srcset="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/pennsylvania-doordash-driver-missing-delivery-148102767.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=320 320w, https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/pennsylvania-doordash-driver-missing-delivery-148102767.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=403 403w" width="403" height="583" src="https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/pennsylvania-doordash-driver-missing-delivery-148102767.jpg?w=403" alt="missing man ">Pa. officials released a picture of missing DoorDash driver Zachariah Schuck, 32, as they asked the public to come forward with any information that might help locate him. North Sewickley Township Police DepartmentSchuck is married and has two children, including a newborn, his father reportedly said. Jenn Schuck/FacebookZach’s worried father Carl Schuck told The Post on Monday that he is a married father of two that had just welcomed a new baby around the same time he lost his job as a manager for Penske truck leasing branches in Pennsylvania and Ohio.Carl, who lives in Central New York, said police had reviewed Ring camera footage from the street where his son’s car was found and saw an unidentified man getting out of the vehicle, but said that the potential lead ultimately proved inconclusive.“I’ve been thinking about this all morning,” Carl said over the phone.“The bottom line is that until I know who got out of the vehicle … because I can’t verify that it’s Zach, I can’t determine what happened.Schuck’s father voiced concerns that the recently laid off man might have been the victim of a carjacking, or in the throes of a mental health crisis. Jenn Schuck/Facebook“Something could have happened from the time he completed his last delivery … to the time that individual got out of the vehicle I can’t verify what happened,” he continued, adding that the customer who received Zach’s last delivery had been cleared as a suspect.“It could have been a carjacking. One person suggested that he may have jumped off of the [nearby] Vanport Bridge. But that’s all irrelevant until we can verify who got out of that car.”The worried father said Zach had no known enemies or mental health issues, but it was possible there were troubles beneath the surface.“He was always in a good mood, always happy. His family had no indicators that there was anything wrong,” Carl said, adding that Zach’s wife was “distraught” over his disappearance.“There were no indicators … of any kind of mental issues or stress that he showed, but with the economy the way that it is, with the loss of his job, there was a lot of pressure … newborn baby,” the father continued.The lean, 6-foot-tall man with brown hair and green eyes was last seen wearing a blue and red flannel shirt, jeans and brown boots, police said.“As long as he’s alive, we can fix things. If we can’t find him, we don’t know what happened,” his father said.“If he’s found and he may have personal issues, then we can get that addressed.”

Russell Brand's Stunning Courtroom Moment: What He Whispered Before Prison

Russell Brand's Stunning Courtroom Moment: What He Whispered Before Prison

Russell Brand received a lengthy prison sentence after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault. Brand, 51, returned to court in London for his sentencing on Monday, November 9, where a judge ruled that he would serve 10 years and six months in prison. "You were clever — and in many people’s eyes, funny and charismatic," Judge Joel Bennathan said during his sentencing remarks, per CNN. "You had also become a sexual predator." Brand reportedly showed no emotion as his sentence was delivered. He had a brief moment with his wife, Laura Gallacher, before being taken away, saying, "We'll be OK." Multiple women accused Brand of sexual assault, rape and emotional abuse, with the allegations spanning from 1999 to 2013. Several of the accusations were explored in Channel 4’s 2023 documentary Russell Brand: In Plain Sight. “I don’t mind [the media] using my books and my stand-up to talk about my promiscuous, consensual conduct in the past. What I seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations,” Brand said in a YouTube video in April 2025. “Also, it’s worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently, in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack.” Before his trial, Brand admitted he previously slept with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30. “The plain fact of it is that in Europe and in the United Kingdom, where I’m from, the age of consent is 16. And I did sleep with a 16-year-old when I was 30,” he said on The Megyn Kelly Show in April. “When I was 30, I was a very different person. I was a lot younger, and I was an immature 30-year-old.” After his shocking admission, Brand addressed the public backlash surrounding him. “What fame gave me and what my addiction fueled was the opportunity for endless consent, which led me to be a hedonist and a fool, and an exploiter of women, and that is wrong. And that is something that needs to be redeemed and addressed and atoned for,” he argued. “What I’m obviously not only querying, but violently or aggressively or assertively opposing, is the idea that this is a judicial criminal matter where consent was overridden.” Brand entered a not guilty plea before he was tried on the seven sexual offense charges, all of which he vehemently denied. He was ultimately found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault on Thursday, November 5, after a two-day jury deliberation. “I’m good, I’m good,” Brand mouthed to his defense team after the ruling, according to the BBC. The actor’s father, Ron Brand, told the outlet that he was “bemused and shocked” by the verdict, adding, "I just didn’t expect this — it’s wrong. It’s devastating."
