Zverev heckled again over domestic abuse allegations

Reuters

Alexander Zverev requested that a spectator who had been heckled by him over allegations of domestic abuse be removed from his Munich Open quarter-final.

When the fan yelled, “Let’s go, you wifebeater,” the German number one seed was serving at 5-5 in the second set against Tallon Griekspoor.

Fergus Murphy, the chair umpire, was Zverev’s voice and Zverev could audibly say, “Fergus, please kick him out.”

Is it unclear whether the spectator was kicked out of the stadium.

A spectator heckled Zverev during the ceremony for the Australian Open men’s singles trophy in January.

A spectator yelled out loudly, “Australia believes Olya and Brenda,” as he approached the winner of his second-place award.

The 27-year-old’s former girlfriend Olya Sharypova, who he has a child with, charged with domestic abuse in 2023 and with violence in his former relationship in 2020.

Zverev has repeatedly refuted both of the allegations, and Patea’s case in Berlin was ended last year.

What’s the background like?

Former girlfriend Sharypova accused Zverev of using domestic abuse and violence while they were dating in October 2020. The allegations were “unfounded,” according to Zverev, who refuted them.

Zverev did not face disciplinary action because Sharypova did not file charges and a 15-month investigation by the men’s ATP Tour found there was “insufficient evidence” to support the men’s ATP Tour’s allegations.

After being accused of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Patea, Zverev was given a penalty order and a fine by a German court in November 2023.

Zverev objected to the order, which led to a public hearing and denied the allegations.

Following a settlement reached between the defendant and the complainant, the trial was adjourned in June 2024.

“But I want to thank you all once more for your kind messages!” Really put so many things in perspective for me and just made me appreciate the little things. Just a reminder that you never know what will happen in your final days and that you never know what will happen next! Always be kind.

The influencer continued, “Those are the miracles, just waking up every day, breathing, and feeling my heart beat,” adding that. Even after everything, my body still brought me back. And for that, I am enthralled.

I’m discovering how to love myself in a way that’s never before, not because of how “perfect” I look or how harmonious my life is, but because I’m just here. alive . This experience has reawakened my appreciation for life’s fragility and beauty. I simply need to live it in the moment, gratefully, without any restrictions.

They both pointed sultryly at the camera while they were both dressed in black. Em placed her hand on Sam’s shoulders while Em donned a small black dress.

They captioned their uploads with a black heart to match their outfits, according to “Newest addition.” Following the news, friends and followers eluded commenting. Along with a rocket emoji, musician Hugo Godfroy wrote “Anddd take off.” Holly Hawkins-Smith, the subject, exclaimed, “Happy looks good on you, my girl.

Lionel Awudu of Love Island continued, “The lovely couple. ” “Girls, I’m glad you found someone,” gushed another follower. Later, she shared a photo of herself while Sam trimmed her hair while sitting on a sofa while wearing black lace lingerie. “Princess treatment,” she wrote.

Sam and Em had previously teased their romance by posting a selfie last month at the gum. A source at the time stated to The Sun that Sam was just beginning a new relationship and things are going really well. His friends joke that he is acting differently now that he has a girlfriend and is finally tamed!

Em’s relationship with Kodie Muprhy was the first since she previously had a romance with her in 2023. He is not the first Love Island star to date. Joey made an appearance on Casa Amor season ten.

‘How do I live like this?’ asks Gaza boy who lost arms in Israeli attack

A Palestinian child who was seriously injured last year when an Israeli drone attacked Gaza and was featured in an image that won the 2025 World Press Photo of the Year award claims to be struggling to adjust to life after losing both of his arms in the explosion.

Nine-year-old Mahmoud Ajjour recalls the bomb’s detonation, which happened in March 2024, at his home in Doha, Qatar, where he has been receiving treatment.

Ajjour, who is originally from the old town of Gaza City, claimed at first that he had no idea he was hurt.

“I believed I had fallen entirely,” he said. But I was exhausted, and I was left wondering what had happened, he told Al Jazeera.

In reality, he said, “one arm flew off, and one flew and fell right beside me.”

Ajjour claimed he looked around and saw his arms, unaware that he had sustained serious injuries that had mutilated his entire body. His brain was still processing the fact that they had been blown off, despite how familiar they appeared.

Ajjour recalls that “my mother then informed me that I lost my arms.” I began crying. My mental state and I were very depressed.

Due to a severe lack of medical supplies, he and many others in Gaza had to undergo surgery without anaesthetics, which further deteriorated his mental health. Israeli forces have largely blocked entry to desperately needed medical supplies, food, and other aid, including fuel, throughout the war, largely keeping crucial border crossings closed.

Ajjour said, “They performed surgery on me while I was awake,” and his voice is still sapping.

“I was screaming loudly because I couldn’t bear the pain.” The hallways were filled with my voice.

Everything is challenging, according to the saying.

One of the tens of thousands of Gaza children is injured constantly and arbitrarily by Israeli bombardment.

Since Israel began its ongoing genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, more than 10 children have lost one or both of their legs, according to the UN Children’s Fund.

More than 1, 000 children, that is.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated in December that Gaza currently has the highest per capita rate of children amputees in the world, with many losing limbs and having surgeries performed without even anesthesia.

Ajjour still requires special assistance for the majority of his daily tasks, despite the fact that he is now learning to write, play games on his phone, and dress himself using his feet.

He now longs for those days when his arms were still present.

Ajjour claimed that he once used to go to the market to buy his mother food and vegetables before the attack.

He said, “I try my best, but now everything is challenging, including taking my own food and using the restroom.” I take care of this way of living. I get things to work.

Ajjour has dreams about returning to Gaza in the hopes of helping to rebuild the devastated enclave.

He envisions a “wonderful end to the war on Gaza” in the world.

On our land, we want to live. He said, “We don’t want the Israelis to take it.”

In Gaza, “people are dying there.” And I was killed inside my home. How could I possibly exist in this manner?”

More than 51, 000 Palestinians have been killed and at least 116, 505 others have been injured as a result of Israel’s ongoing assault on the besieged and bombarded territory, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at ‘crisis point’ amid bombshell announcement

https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article35082008.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_NEW-MIRROR-EXCL-SOCIAL-810x450.jpg

A new book that explores the crisis point of their relationship and their struggle for survival is about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

A new book will focus on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

With the dust still settling after his last book on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Tom Bower has promised more bombshell revelations about the couple.

As the, often hostile, eyes of the world are always on them, the royal author claims the pair face constant battles in their lives that push them to seek revenge. Bower also reckons Harry and Meghan’s relationship has reached crisis point amid differing points of views after they turned their backs on royal life to move to California.

He continued, “I’ve got a lot of new material already, and I believe everyone wants fresh insights.” It’s a remarkable story, and because it’s unique, it’s eye-watering. This is such a well-known couple, who constantly fight for themselves. They are persistent and restless, which is what makes it so fascinating.

Bower’s first book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, came out in 2022. His plans for a new one come as Harry deals with a bitter breakdown of relations at his Sentibale charity, which he set up in 2006 in memory of his mother, Princess Diana.

He recently embarked on a last-ditch attempt to secure his family’s right to security protection while in the UK. Bower, who has also written unauthorised biographies on Tony Blair, Mohammed Al-Fayed and the Beckhams, claimed Harry, 40, and his wife, 43, have been left deeply hurt.

They both suffered injuries, he added, and what’s fascinating about them is that they continue to fight back. And they must fight back to survive as well.

The battle for survival and retribution is getting worse each week. Many people were skeptical and unsure of the first book. More people will be fascinated by what I’ve discovered now, and more will be converted to what I discovered then.

“So much has changed over the last three years and so many new things have come out about them.” Speaking about the couple’s struggle to fit in, Bower said Harry wants a reconciliation with the Royal Family and his dad the King but Meghan has other plans.

Harry doesn’t understand the world other than [understanding that] Meghan wants to be famous, and they have a crisis, he added.

He has never had a penny in his pocket his entire life. He never had to deal with having a car or getting a job, nor did he frequently travel on the Tube. He doesn’t understand where she’s coming from, which is that she worked extraordinarily hard, endured hardship, and was repeatedly humiliated, and wants financial security and status.

She lacks the power to pull people together and the status they desire. He and she are both clinging on to their royal status in California. Harmony views reconciliation as the main theme. That is utterly absurd. Because of William and Kate’s unrequited anger, there is no chance of reconciliation.

Continue reading the article.

Bower’s first book came out a year after Harry and Meghan’s shock TV interview with Oprah Winfrey. Among the claims in it were that the Queen was relieved when Meghan did not attend the funeral of Prince Philip in April 2021, and that the Duchess was “abrasive” and demanding of her royal staff.

Victoria Beckham, the fashion mogul and ex-Spice Girl, is said to have stuck with the same dinner routine for a whopping 25 years.

Her husband David Beckham, spilled the beans on her strict diet during his appearance on the River Café Table 4 podcast. He confessed at the time: “I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great, I want everyone to try it. Unfortunately, I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.”

He revealed that Victoria’s go-to meal has consistently been grilled fish and steamed vegetables, and she seldom strays from this regimen. David even shared a memorable occasion when Victoria temporarily changed her diet while expecting their daughter Harper back in 2011.

The former Manchester United footballer said: “The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper (in 2011) and it was the most amazing thing.”, reports Surrey Live.

“It was one of my favorite evenings. She hasn’t eaten it since, but I can’t recall what it was. However, in an interview with Net-A-Porter, Victoria herself suggested a more varied menu.

She remarked, “David and I are very sociable, and we like to eat out, and I’m flexible with regards to food.”

However, when I eat well, I notice a difference in my skin, which is that my eyes are brighter, brighter, and my energy is greatly increased. She then described her favorite food options, saying, “I eat a lot of fresh fish, fresh vegetables, salads, as well as seeds and nuts.

I enjoy eating fruit, but I don’t eat too much because it can make me feel incredibly bloated. I discipline myself when I eat because that is how I get the most out of my body.

I love tequila, red wine, and carbs, she continued. Avocados and other excellent fats, like salmon, are what I eat a lot. I work long hours because I have four kids and a job, and this method allows me to give 100%.

The former Spice Girl celebrated her 51st birthday this week and released a limited edition version of her very own personalised custom lip liners she uses to mark the occasion. On the VB Beauty website, Victoria said: “For my birthday, I want to share with you a gift I made for myself.

“I am so in love with my No. 02 Lip Definer that I asked the incredible Victoria Beckham Beauty team to create two new extremely specific variations.

“I’m bringing my personal number to this limited edition set.” 01.5 and No. No. 02. 5 has a slightly darker and rose pink tone. 02, respectively. If you’re a lip perfectionist like me and a lover of our most-loved No., each has its own time and place. 02), I know you’ll be obsessed, too”.

Brooklyn Beckham or Cruz Beckham have not shared photos of birthday celebrations that included David Beckham, Romeo Beckham, and Harper Beckham, but Victoria Beckham has.

Victoria Beckham has given fans an insight into her birthday celebrations this week. She shared photos from the occasion, which included a meal with family and friends, but two of her children were notably absent.

Victoria, now 51, celebrated her birthday yesterday. She was met with well wishes on social media, including from her husband David Beckham, 50. It has been reported that her eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30, did not publicly mark the occasion though.

The former Spice Girls member has since suggested that Brooklyn and his brother Cruz Beckham, 20, weren’t part of her birthday celebrations this week – with them not appearing in photos from the occasion. It’s unclear why they were absent. She’s revealed that she was joined by David and their other kids Romeo Beckham, 22, and Harper Beckham, 13, as well as some pals, though.

Victoria gave an insight into her recent celebrations, which appear to have taken place in Miami, Florida, in a post on Instagram this afternoon. It included photos of her soaking up the sun onboard a yacht with David, Romeo and Harper.

Romeo and Harper were seen sitting between their parents on the boat in one photo. During the trip, Victoria also posed with a birthday cake in front of her.

She also enjoyed a “beautiful dinner” with pals, hosted by her “best friend” Isabela Rangel Grutman and her husband David Grutman. The post included some photos from the evening, which featured guests like model Cindy Crawford.

Victoria, David, Romeo, and Harper were all dressed up in a photo taken at the time. While one photo showed Victoria posing in a hallway behind Isabela. In the same location, the close friends’ husbands joined their respective partners for a group photo of the two couples.

Victoria also stated on the platform before: “Thank you for making my birthday so special. I adore you all so much, my family and my friends. At the end of the post’s caption, she tagged her husband David.

Victoria later claimed that David had made her birthday “so special” on Instagram. She wrote, “I love you]David],]Romeo] #HarperBeckham” beside one of the photos of the parents holding their children, Romeo and Harper.

This week earlier, former football player David paid her homage. He declared, “Happy Birthday to the most wonderful wife, mummy, and best friend that we could all wish for.” We love you so much that you deserve the most perfect day. He also mentioned daughter Harper in a hashtag and mentioned their three sons in the caption.

Cruz is said to have written about Victoria’s birthday on his account, whereas Romeo also paid tribute in a post. Cruz, who appeared to be missing from her celebrations, also posted a post that his partner Jackie Apostel made fun of their upcoming engagements.

Jackie wrote, “Happy birthday]Victoria,” next to a picture of Victoria and her son yesterday. How wonderful to see you raising your kids alongside them on a daily basis. We look forward to sharing our celebration with you.

Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola reportedly didn’t publicly celebrate his mother’s birthday yesterday. It comes amid reports that there’s tension within the family, with the couple also absent from a party for David’s early 50th birthday, which took place just a few weeks ago.

It has been suggested that Brooklyn and Nicola were celebrating his third wedding anniversary at Coachella Indio, California, this week amid Victoria’s birthday celebrations. The couple have both posted about attending the festival. It comes following previous reports that his parents didn’t publicly mark their anniversary after he posted about it last week.

The apparent social media snubs, and Brooklyn’s absence from the birthday celebrations, come amid reports that he and brother Romeo are not on speaking terms. There’s said to be tension over Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull.

It’s been suggested that Brooklyn was once romantically linked to Kim some years ago. As previously reported, earlier this month, TMZ claimed that it was “all water under the bridge” though, with the outlet adding that sources had said the issue was over Brooklyn and his wife Nicola questioning whether Kim has “the right intentions” in dating Romeo.

As reported by Hello magazine last week, younger brother Cruz is said to have dismissed the suggestion that Brooklyn dated Kim previously. In a comment in response to someone on social media that appears to have since been deleted, Cruz reportedly wrote: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”
