Ugly Betty star Eric Mabius arrested for ‘battery’ and ‘resisting arrest’

In Florida, ugly Betty actor Eric Mabius was detained for battery and resisting arrest, and his unrecognizable mugshot was released by police.

The 53-year-old actor was taken into custody at the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center just before 6 a. m. on Thursday 20th February.

According to Mabius’s charge sheet, the “belligerent” star was arrested after allegedly pushing a female victim and knocking her to the ground. During the altercation at a bar called The Goat, which is close to Fernandina Beach, he reportedly pulled out “fistfuls” of her hair. He now faces two misdemeanour charges: battery and resisting an officer without violence.

The actor, best known for playing magazine editor Daniel Meade, looked almost unrecognisable in his mugshot, wearing a stripe orange and white T-shirts, with a bruised and cut right eye.

According to The Sun, a spokesperson stated that the 53-year-old had been arrested after he and a 40-year-old woman began creating a disturbance. The sheriff’s office stated the pair were reportedly intoxicated. They claimed that witnesses reported to them that the bartender had repeatedly asked the woman to leave, and that Mabius and the woman then started spit on several of the patrons.

A bystander intervened and pulled Mabius away from them, according to the spokesperson. When deputies arrived, they reported that Mabius became increasingly “belligerent” outside the bar and repeatedly ignored officer’s instructions to remain seated during the investigation.

The female victim has declined to bring charges, but the spokesperson claims that Mabius and the victim have been detained for “simple battery and resisting without violence.” The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office detained 53-year-old Eric Mabius on suspicion of battery and resisting law enforcement without using force, according to a spokesman for the force.

” According to deputies, the incident occurred at The Goat on Lofton Square Ct., where Mabius and a 40-year-old woman were reportedly intoxicated and creating a disturbance. Witnesses claimed that both Mabius and the woman started spitting on several patrons after the bartender repeatedly asked the woman to leave.

“Mabius allegedly shoved a female victim, knocked her to the ground, and pulled out “fustfuls” of her hair,” according to the report. A bystander intervened, pulling Mabius away from the victim. When deputies arrived, they reported that Mabius started acting aggressively outside the building and repeatedly disobeyed orders to remain seated throughout the investigation.

“At one point, Mabius allegedly attempted to walk behind a deputy, leading to the arrest for resisting without violence, according to several deputies. Although the victim refuses to press charges, both the female and Mabius were detained for simple battery and non-violent resisting.

Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper commented:” This type of behaviour will not be tolerated in our community, regardless of celebrity status. We’re grateful that no one was seriously hurt during this unfortunate incident because our deputies dealt with an uncooperative individual quickly.

According to the Post, Mabius is still being detained and hasn’t yet had his first court appearance, which is most likely to be tomorrow morning, according to a Nassau County Sheriff’s Department spokesman.

Her children’s bright mini suits, which she had on hand, were a big hit with her followers as well, which is why Vogue’s ski sets were also receiving attention. Some people claimed that having your kids’ brightly colored skiing outfits, especially in snowy, foggie, or misty conditions, is the best way to spot and identify them on the slopes.

The rainbow camouflage print All-Weather Ski All-In-One and the rainbow stripe All-Weather Waterproof Coat and matching All Weather Waterproof Trouser were the top choices for Vogue’s children’s mini Boden outfits.

The One Show host Alex Jones has been making memories on her first ski trip, writing: “First time on a ski holiday and we are hooked!” Although she hasn’t given us a full skiing outfit yet, we have caught a glimpse of her cosy knitwear she’s worn on the slopes.

Although we couldn’t identify her exact jumper, we found an almost identical version with the Fluffy Knit Houndstooth Sweatshirt, which is currently on sale down from £30 to £18. It actually hails from Boohoo’s menswear line, making it perfect for an oversized, cosy fit. Elsewhere, French Connection’s Houndstooth Jumper is another great option, and is now reduced from £65 to £44.

EastEnders’ Michelle Fowler star Susan Tully unrecognisable 30 years after soap exit

Susan Tully, who played Michelle Fowler in EastEnders on television before leaving the show in 1995, has undergone a remarkable transformation.

Now 57, she sports a sleek bob haircut, which is a big change from Michelle’s signature shoulder-length curls. In a recent photo, Susan was smiling while wearing a white T-shirt and a black pinafore dress next to Michelle Collins, who played Cindy Beale in EastEnders. During her time as Michelle, Susan was part of many dramatic storylines, with the most memorable being when Michelle became pregnant at 16 by ‘ Dirty Den ‘ Watts.

Den, of course, was the adoptive father of Michelle’s best friend, Sharon Mitchell. Michelle left Walford in 1995, but Susan decided to leave, and Jenna Russell took over the part for a short while. The former Grange Hill actor has since stopped acting and is now a cameraman.

After leaving EastEnders, Susan transitioned into directing, working on shows such as Silent Witness, Stella, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Strike, and Line of Duty. Line of Duty on the BBC and Too Close, two of which she directed, are also on the air on ITV. Fans are still eager to see her reprise her famous role as Michelle, Martin’s sister, despite her accomplishments in front of the camera.

The director has made it clear that she won’t be returning to the soap, though. Executive director Sean O’Connor confirmed Susan gave them her permission to leave without her when it came time to reinstate Michelle in 2016.

“Of course, you’d have to think about talking to Susan Tully about it if you’re considering bringing back Michelle Fowler,” he said. “But she is now a well-respected, hugely experienced TV director. Her acting career is a part of her past, making it largely unreported.

He added: “But, of course, I contacted her immediately when I thought about bringing the character back”. Susan did offer to let Jenna take on her role and give her advice on how to play the character, though. Susan gave the idea her blessing, and it turned out to be really lovely,” Sean said.

This comes as EastEnders recently marked its 40th anniversary. After watching the live stream of this week’s episode, in which Martin Fowler was tragically killed off, EastEnders fans were weeping. The BBC soap, which first aired in 1985, has been celebrating its 40th anniversary all week with a highlight being a live episode from last night. Following a fatal explosion, the episode followed the residents of Albert Square and revealed the outcome of a public vote on a love triangle.

Ben Affleck’s daughter Violet cuts contact with Jennifer Lopez over ‘ulterior motive’

The eldest of Ben Affleck’s and Jennifer Garner’s children, Violet Affleck, has reportedly cut ties with her ex-girlfriend over concerns that she was a “pawn.”

Ben, 52, married Jennifer Lopez, 55, in 2022, decades after getting engaged to her for the first time in 2002. Unfortunately they weren’t to last, and separated in April 2024, before filing for divorce that August.

Despite JLo and Ben’s split, Violet, 19, remained close to the singer. She reportedly frequently visited her stepmum in August of last year while wearing a dress JLo had previously worn for a Valentine’s Day date with Ben. However, according to reports, Violet is now siding with her father over the divorce drama and is divorcing the Lopez family.

During her divorce from Ben, Violet reportedly became suspicious that JLo was using her as a “pawn,” and the teen also observed how upset her father was (Getty Images).

During her dad’s breakup with JLo, Violet felt like she was being used as a pawn, according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail. Jenn Garner, 52, was happy to spend time with Violet because she “always puts her children first.” The insider claimed that as JLo and Ben headed for divorce, Violet’s closeness with the star did become “odd” for her family, and said that JLo’s sister Lynda Lopez even visited the teen at college.

Because she wants Violet to be happy and respects that, Jennifer reportedly chose to stay away from her daughter’s relationship with the Lopez family, according to the source, who added that the actress didn’t “necessarily agree” with Violet’s choice of pals.

Even though Ben didn’t criticize JLo during the process, things allegedly changed when “Violet started to realize how upset her father was that their split was at the center of everything.” Violet is a “daddy’s girl,” and she is very intelligent. You won’t see her on public outings with JLo any longer, the insider claimed in light of the altered family dynamics.

Violet’s decision to stick by her dad after the split comes after JLo and Ben’s divorce was finalised. Last month, JoLo submitted documents to the Los Angeles Superior Court confirming that the former couple had reached a resolution through mediation in September, roughly one month after Jo Jo’s initial divorce petition. The decision was set to be officially finalized.

According to reports, their divorce decrees include a $61 million home that the former couple will own and retain the proceeds from their respective business ventures and projects.

Alongside Violet, however, their blended family included Ben and Jennifer’s younger kids Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12, alongside JLo’s twins Max and Emme, 16, shared with former husband Marc Anthony. Despite the very public split, Ben, Jennifer, and JLo are said to keep on good terms for the sake of their blended brood.

Jennifer and Ben still communicate when it comes to their children, according to Ben. After the divorce, a source told Page Six that they have no intention of falling in love with one another.

Prince Harry US visa row major update as judge ‘agrees to release some documents’

After the Department of Homeland Security reportedly agreed to release some of Prince Harry’s visa documents, a significant update has been made to the US legal case regarding whether or not his application should be made public.

According to reports from today’s filings with the Department of Homeland Security, three items can now be revealed with redactions, which will reveal whether Prince Harry lied about using illegal drugs on his immigration application. However, a fourth document can be made public but should stay private, a judge said.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington DC think tank, questioned why the Duke of Sussex was permitted into the US in 2020, following a judge’s earlier suggestion that he might permit the release of some of Harry’s secret documents from his visa application.

After he admitted to using cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms in his book Spare, the group are questioning whether his visa was granted. The think tank claims Harry lied on his immigration forms or received special treatment from the Biden administration.

Prince Harry at the Invictus Games, PA, last week.

Judge Carl Nichols stated at a hearing in Washington, DC, that he wanted “maximum disclosure as long as it doesn’t violate privacy.” According to him, the US government has until February 20 to specify the release date for any legal documents related to the case. According to Daily Mail, the Department of Homeland Security’s attorneys agreed today that three items can be made public with redactions and that a fourth document should remain private.

Current and past drug use is specifically asked in US visa applications, which can affect the applicant’s ability to progress. Immigration officers exercise their discretion in light of a variety of factors, including the presence of illicit drugs, which can cause applications to be rejected.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, made a public statement about the case earlier this month, saying he would not deport Harry. But in a brutal dig at Meghan, he added: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible”.

The Heritage Foundation is requesting a change in the ruling from a judge’s earlier hearing in the case in September, which determined that the public had no compelling interest in the release of the duke’s immigration records. The think tank claimed it was in the “immense public interest” and that the organization had filed the lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) after a Freedom of Information Act request was turned down.

In his controversial memoir, the duke said cocaine “didn’t do anything for me”, adding: “Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me”. The Heritage Foundation’s lawsuit argued that US law “generally renders such a person inadmissible for entry” to the country.

The think tank added that disclosures of the duke’s prior drug use in his visa applications would have raised concerns about the integrity of the US government. In the DHS’s response to the legal claim, it said: “Much like health, financial, or employment information, a person’s immigration information is private personal information”.

No “publicly available information” is provided in the submissions made by attorney John Bardo on behalf of DHS, which states that Prince Harry has ever been found guilty of a drug-related offence. Mr. Bardo remarked that any hints that the US government had done wrong were “purely speculative” from the Heritage Foundation.

Meghan Markle given stark warning after ‘huge brand failure’

After revealing her most recent rebrand, Meghan Markle has been warned that there is no room for error.

Prior to the launch of her American Riviera Orchard, The Duchess of Sussex revealed that she had already removed the Duchess of Sussex’s branding. Instead, she has the product designation “As Ever” ready to go on sale.

A PR expert acknowledged the initial soft launch will be viewed as a “huge failure” despite the fact that she explained the reason for the decision to prevent her from restricting herself to products from her neighborhood. Jane Owen, the PR representative for the stars, exclusively told Mirror that the initial branding was a “complete waste of time and energy.”

The new As Ever (As Ever) logo has been updated.

Jane shared her bold opinion, claiming: “The brand change should have happened before anything was launched. A brainstorming process was actually taking place as we witnessed. The reasons for the change would have occurred behind closed doors and not in full view of the general public if the brand’s name had been ever changed.

And she advised the former actress to ensure that all of her products are “amazing” from now on. No one will care about this early mistake, she said, “If the brand is amazing quality and beautiful.” “However there’s even more pressure for the products to be exceptional. There’s zero room for bad quality anything”.

Touching on the name change, Jane confessed she agrees with Meghan, saying it now feels more “inclusive”. Jane continued, “The previous name felt very old-fashioned and buried in the Santa Barbara theme.” “Extremely preppy and a lot exclusionary”.

She admitted now she has a new name, there is “no way they can change it again”, saying: “If this doesn’t work it just doesn’t work period. Nobody will give it another chance.

Meghan’s most recent release has received new scrutiny from a small business, even though she hasn’t yet made an official product under either brand. Her new logo on her newly-launched website, which features Princess Lilibet, has also ruffled feathers, with it said to be shared with an independent clothing brand.

The logo features a palm tree, which is understood to be a nod to Prince Harry and Meghan’s home in California. There are also two hummingbirds, which are thought to be a favourite of the Duke of Sussex. However, the Mayoress of Poreress, a town on the Spanish island of Majorca, has claimed the branding is strikingly similar their coat of arms. Mayor of the town, Xisca Mora, has now gone so far as to claim that the logo is a “complete copy.”

As Ever NYC, a small clothing company based in New York, entered the row, breaking its silence on the name, which one fan called “royally scandalous.”
