After the rise of weight-loss medications like Ozempics, the diet company that was formerly known as WeightWatchers filed for bankruptcy.
To “position the company for long-term growth and success,” WW International, based in New York, announced on Tuesday that it was requesting Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to pay off $ 1.15 billion in debt.
CEO Tara Comonte stated in a statement that the decisive actions we’re taking today, with the unwavering support of our lenders and noteholders, will give us the flexibility to reinvest in our members, lead with authority, and accelerate innovation.
Our commitment to providing the most reliable, scientifically proven, and holistic solutions, grounded in community support and long-term health, has never been stronger or more crucial.
WW International stated that its members would not be impacted by the restructuring process and that it anticipates becoming a publicly traded company in about 40 days.
WeightWatchers, an entrepreneur founded in 1963 by Jean Nidetch, rose to fame as one of the most well-known names in the multibillion-dollar diet sector.
In a move into the weight-loss medication industry, the company in 2023 acquired telehealth provider Sequence in response to growing pressure from brands like Ozempic and Wegovy.
Oprah Winfrey previously revealed that she was taking an anti-obesity medication, and last year it was revealed that she was leaving the board of directors.
After receiving a lot of backlash that caused her to “question her sanity” and “not eating,” model Hilaria Baldwin has since explained why she uses a Spanish accent.

Hilaria Baldwin has settled rumours as to why she speaks with a Spanish accent despite being born and raised in the US. The model, who is married to actor Alec Baldwin, has faced intense criticism for how she speaks.
She even revealed there were times she “wanted to be dead” due to the extreme backlash and accusations she was faking it. Hilaria was born in Boston, Massachusetts but previously claimed her birthplace was Mallorca, Spain.
The 41-year-old responded to the controversy at the time as she said she was a “different kind of Bostonian” because she had “spent some of her childhood in Spain.” It was confirmed her parents moved to Mallorca from Boston when she was 27-years-old.
Hilaria claimed that she raised her children in a family that spoke both Spanish and English, and that she is trying to emulate this. She lives with her husband, Alec, and their two-year-olds, Ilaria, age two, and Carmen, age 11, Rafael, age nine, Romeo, age eight, Eduardo, Mara Luca, age four, and Rafael, age two.

Now, Hilaria has revealed her fluctuation accent is due to ADHD and dyslexia. She admitted her “brain just works differently” in her new memoir, Manuel Not Included.

In the book that Page Six obtained, she wrote, “And these diagnoses] greatly impact my speech, reading, listening, focus, memory, and self-confidence.
Hilaria continued to make references to her 2015 on-air appearance on the Today Show, where she appeared to forget how to pronounce “cucum” in English. She has now claimed that it was the result of her “processing differences.”
She wrote, “I have a brain that is one-third Spanish, one-third English, and seven dollops of mom brain, with a lot of distraction.” If you had known how loud it was in my head at any given moment, please let me know.
She continued, “I just existed in a place where I could sometimes speak one language and sometimes I could speak another, where I could mix them up and get confused,” and I could never discuss my processing differences.
Hilaria responded to Amy Schumer’s sage comments that were featured in her Netflix show in an excerpt shared by People magazine. Hilaria’s accent was the only thing it did, and it even made jokes about the Baldwin family’s growing popularity and their distinctive names.
Hilaria continued, “I am aware that it’s absurd that anyone would feel embarrassed or amused because a forgotten word.” Have you ever forgotten a word, in light of this, please be honest? But I actually started to unravel back then. I had no idea.
She freely admitted, “I felt lost. My family and I were missing. I was unable to eat. I’ve lost a lot of weight. I began to doubt my sanity. I began to wonder if I was a decent person.
“I started calling myself stupid when I went back to what I used to do when I was younger. I wanted to be dead when I woke up. And I continued to get worse and worse.
In a Baldwin TV episode about her transition from Spanish to English when speaking to her kids, Hilaria also covered her bilingual life.

She said, “I want to teach my kids the joy of speaking other languages. It’s very special to me to grow up in two different languages and speak them. When I combine the two, I find myself being authentic and authentic, and when I mix the two, I find myself normal.

With the nineties bopper group S Club 7, which included Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, and Paul Cattermole, Jon rose to fame.

This year, the show will see a huge twist, as the celebrities including Kerry Katona and The Chase’s Mark Labbett head down to Ibiza to kick off their search, as opposed to the London offices. As the cast have already started filming, resident sexpert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaipornhas lifted the lid on what we can expect on the new series, including some shocking revelations.
Jon has had a really interesting journey since joining S Club, according to Dr. Tara, who spoke exclusively to the Mirror. What has actually been happening in his life since S Club and what he’s been doing recently is a really fascinating and insightful investigation.
One of his revelations shocked me, Tara exclaimed as she revealed that John, the agency’s most unexpected guest, was the one who surprised her.
I anticipated Jon’s entry would be much more guarded, but he isn’t, according to Tara. He’s ready to put it all on, which is beautiful. I’ve already learned a lot about him, and I must admit that his story is very moving.
S Club’s fans’ hopes come true in 2023 when they announced they would be reunited for a tour 20 years after their most recent performance. Unfortunately, Paul tragically passed away from sudden heart failure later that year, stumbling against the dream.
The band did not perform without Hannah, who had previously dated Paul, and left the group after his passing, even though they continued on their The Good Times Tour in Paul’s honor.
Last month, Rachel told the Mirror that the band grieved together’ in the wake of the tragic death of their bandmate .
She said, “It was amazing to have the tour and be able to celebrate him,” referring to how traveling together helped them deal with their grief.
“It gave us a chance to grieve and grieve together, which was special, and to share all of our incredible memories of him,” he said. Really, it was healing.

Shoppers love lululemon’s ‘stunning’ bag(Image: lululemon )
Shoppers love a “stunning” lululemon bag that “looks great with everything” and feels “so comfy.” The £38 Everywhere Belt Bag 1L is a “game changer” according to fans, who love the style for everything from daily outings to holidays.
The product description reads:”Phone, keys, wallet. Keep them close in this versatile belt bag that helps you get out the door and on to your next adventure,” while lululemon adds that the bag has interior pockets to hold essentials and an exterior zipped pocket to secure valuables.
The bag is similar in style to bumbags and crossbody bags offered by other retailers. Sweaty Betty offers a Motion Bumbag for £55, ASOS offers an adidas Training Essentials waistbag in black for £15, and Under Armour offers a UA Essential Waist Bag Crossbody for £27.
Nonetheless, it’s popular with lululemon shoppers, earning an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars on lululemon’s website, with over 350 five-star reviews. It’s also available in over 20 different colours.
One happy shopper said: “Gorgeous fabric, it holds so much, helpful pockets inside and out, adjustable belt, gorgeous colour.” Another impressed reviewer wrote: “I bought this as a gift for a friend looking for something to keep her phone, car keys and gym locker keys in. Colour is stunning. It’s perfect sizing and gets lots of compliments.”

Someone else shared: “I love this bag so much! It looks great with everything and perfect for running,” while a buyer added: “I bought this bag for my daughter to take travelling and she was delighted when it arrived. Perfect for her passport, phone and travel documents. The bag is really good quality and comfortable to wear.”
Meanwhile, another happy customer commented: “Game changer. Great addition to my collection! Love the polka dot pattern. lululemon just changed the game with belt bags… they made them fashionable whilst still being incredibly spacious and useful. I wear one everyday.”
Not everyone was so impressed, though. A different shopper replied: “I bought the pink one as I really like the shade on the website but when it arrived it was more like a darker purple than baby pink. On top of that, the straps are really hard to adjust, especially when the belt is already on.”

Someone else commented: “Good quality. A few loose threads but nothing major. Buckle is really big. Bag is bigger than expected and can hold lots. Can be worn a few ways and I will use on holiday/for travelling.
“I purchased with a 15% discount but definitely would not pay full price as there are cheaper alternatives of the same, if not better quality. Left it too late to return but not really worth the high price tag just for the lululemon logo.”
Another customer shared: “The delivery was hopeless. Once arrived the bag felt flimsy and the strap was far too short for a crossbody bag. Had to send back.”
With 1.1 seconds left, Tyrese Haliburton made his own missed free throw and buried a 3-pointer, giving the visiting Indiana Pacers a 120-119 victory over the sluggish Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals and a commanding series lead.
With 57 seconds left, the Pacers extended their lead to 119-112 with two free throws, which the Pacers did on Tuesday. It became a one-possession game thanks to Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam’s baskets, and Max Strus’ subsequent inbounds pass was taken.
With 12.4 seconds left, Haliburton made his first free throw to make the score 119-117 before making his second miss. After going 20 points down, he dribbled beyond the arc to make the 3-pointer that made Indiana’s comeback.
“We obviously got lucky,” said Rick Carlisle, the Pacers’ head coach. Ty scored yet another incredible shot to win the game. This is not often seen, let alone twice in a week. Tyrese, he once more prevailed. We have a lot of good fortune.
Haliburton remarked, “I’m at peace with my game.” It’s a special feeling, I can tell you, “I can’t possibly be trusted in these circumstances.” I’m making a lot of money playing a kids’ game, which I’m really enjoying doing.
Without three key players: NBA Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley (left ankle sprain), All-Star point guard Darius Garland (left big toe sprain), and key reserve De’Andre Hunter (right thumb sprain), Mitchell recorded 48 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and four steals for the top-seeded Cavaliers.
For the first time since 1996, Cleveland lost its first two home games in a best-of-three series matchup against the Knicks.
For the majority of the game, we outlasted them, but we ran out of gas, according to Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson. We were unable to separate ourselves. They simply increased their physicality with each possession.
Carlisle remarked, “It’s difficult to sum up everything.” “Cleveland delivered a hellacious punch to our early in the match. We just kept going through the fourth. We kept up the pressure to accomplish it. Give credit to the men; they somehow came up with a solution.
In Game 2 of their upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers quarterback Tyrese Haliburton #0 makes the game-winning 3-point basket.
In the fourth quarter, Haliburton scored 11 of his 19 points, along with Nesmith and Myles Turner, who each had 23. Fourth-seeded Indiana finished with 19 points and Nembhard made 13 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds, as well as eight turnovers.
In a thrilling performance, Mitchell, a six-time All-Star, scored 12 points in the first, 3rd, and 4th. He set career highs in free throws attempted and made on 15 of his 30 field goals and made 17 of his 21 field goals attempts.
Carlisle remarked, “Mitchell had a heroic game.” We’re still deeper than them, though. We probably wore them down, in my opinion.
Haliburton remarked, “Everyone was tired, but they were tired.” According to the author, “The wear-down effect had a lot to do with it.”
The Cavaliers, who led 81-61 midway through the third period, scored 23 points and added 12 rebounds. Sam Merrill added 14 shots off the bench.
“We outplayed them for the majority of the game, and then we developed mental lapses,” Allen said. “Now, will we be able to replicate it?” asks the question. At the end, they capitalized on every error we made.
On four consecutive possessions that weren’t deemed fouls, power forward Mobley and Hunter were both injured on Sunday in Game 1. Garland hasn’t played since April 23 when the Heat host.
Hunter dislocated his thumb as he fell after Mathurin blocked his dunk as Mobley landed on Turner’s foot as the latter slid under him on a shot.
After practicing and the game on Monday, Atkinson, who was named NBA Coach of the Year earlier this week, expressed his frustration in three-minute responses, which were received by Carlisle.
Nobody wants to see players hurt, Carlisle said. That “stranges the hell out of us.”
Indianapolis will host Game 3 of the best-of-seven series on Friday.
