The truth behind ‘R-rated’ Princess Diana photo

During her lifetime, Princess Diana, or the People’s Princess, was most photographed person in the world.

Many of those photos are until this very day considered iconic.

This incredible woman rose to prominence after her engagement to Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son and heir apparent to the British throne, now King Charles. From the moment the world learned of her, she was under constant scrutiny. The paparazzi followed her every move, and according to many, their relentless pursuit contributed to her tragic death.

Lady Di was a devoted mother who was willing to do everything for her children, Prince William and Prince Harry. She demonstrated that her kids were her top priority, even more important than royal protocol, by breaking tradition and attending school games where she competed alongside other parents.

On the day she lost her life, August, 1997, she was running away from the paparazzi.

Over the years, Diana traveled extensively, leaving an indelible mark on history captured through lenses worldwide. One of the most iconic photographs of her was taken in 1992 during her visit to India, specifically at the Taj Mahal.

Then-President Ramaswamy Venkataraman greeted her upon arrival, and during her trip, she attended the inauguration of the Taman Special School for children. Meanwhile, Prince Charles was attending a business meeting in Bangalore, allowing Diana to pursue her own activities.

Among these was a visit to the Taj Mahal, but the iconic photo later evoked mixed emotions.

Another photo that caught plenty of attention was taken at the time Diana still worked as a nursery school teacher in London. At the time, she was 19.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards was among those who wanted to take the perfect photo of the young girl who stole the hearts of the Britons.

At the time, he had just begun working as a photographer and was determined to locate the nursery where Diana worked. Going from person to person and asking where the preschool was, he finally found Diana’s workplace that was located in a London’s West End neighborhood.

After speaking to the school’s owner, Arthur Edwards brought Diana to a park nearby with two children.

“She posed up, and I did half a dozen pictures,” he told Today.

At one moment, Edwards, who has since photographed seven royal weddings, four funerals, and seven royal births, observed the sunlight shining on the young princess, a moment that changed everything.

“Everybody doesn’t believe this, but it is the gospel truth — halfway through, the sun came out and revealed those beautiful legs,” Edwards said, describing it as an “amazing silhouette,” and “iconic picture.”

Edwards added: “I didn’t do it on purpose, I promise. I didn’t do it to embarrass her, but it was such a good picture you couldn’t not publish it.”

After several newspapers picked up the photo, Diana was in shock and worried that she revealed too much skin. “I don’t want to be known as the girlfriend who had no petticoat,” she told Charles, as per Today.

Edwards and Diana continued working together.

The young Princess felt pressured by the media and was under constant scrutiny. They followed her every move willing to take as many pictures of her as possible and cover every aspect of her life.

Lady Di is still missed, and she always will be.

The dark-skinned model and the blue-eyed blond had children – Their appearance shows all the best from their parents, but there’s a dark story behind…

By

-

Jamie Perkins, a videographer and musician from Australia, met his future wife Nikki online. The moment he laid eyes on her photos, he was captivated by her beauty. Nikki, who moved to Australia from Sudan, worked as a model before she gained fame on the social media.

The couple captured everyone’s attention. And why wouldn’t they?

Jamie, who is blonde with blue eyes, and Nikki, a stunning dark-skinned woman, made an extraordinary couple.

The world heard of them when they started their YouTube channel where they shared their daily lives, family experiences, travel, parenting, and personal milestones.

Starting from the early stages of their dating days, to their engagement and the birth of their two precious daughters, Ava and Zoe, they documented it all.

One of the things that helped them gain a significant following was that they were an interracial couple who addressed cultural differences and challenges of being part of such a relationship.

Jamie and Nikki served as role models for many, particularly in fostering understanding and acceptance of interracial relationships.

Sadly, in 2019, the couple decided to call their marriage quits, which came as a shock to their thousands of fans. And although it seemed like they handled their divorce with maturity as they continued filming aspects of their lives, focusing on their individual projects and co-parenting their baby girls who have inherited the best of both their parents, the truth was different, according to Jamie.

Namely, he posted a video on YouTube in which he spoke of the reasons why he and Nikki separated, stating that she’d been unfaithful and was seeing an ex-boyfriend behind his back.

He also accused her of being abusive and violent.

“I’ve been quietly struggling for a really, really long time, and I’ve just been in fear, living in fear, living in survival mode, pretty much on autopilot for a really long time just trying to maintain my place as a father in Ava and Zoe’s lives,” the dad of two said.

Following the split, Jamie was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, situational depression and severe social anxiety.

Further, Jamie claimed that Nikki tried to “isolate him” from his loved ones, she was “controlling” and wanted to “destroy his career.”

According to him, Nikki was spreading lies about him with everyone he knew.

“I want to be able to give the girls the best lives that I can, but it’s just constant restrictions. I’m constantly having to give up more and more and more. Nikki just wanted my life to be as hard as possible,” he claimed.

YouTube

When he received an all-paid trip to Disneyland, he hadn’t invited Nikki to go with him and the girls and that angered her to the extent that she attacked him.

“Obviously, I wasn’t going to bring the person who abuses me on a trip like that,” Jamie said, adding that Nikki gave him a hard time because she believed he was getting old when he turned fourty.

“This is the sort of stuff I deal with,” he said. “I’ve dealt with violence as well.”

“She had come to the house and been violent. Punched me multiple times, kicked me, just been horrible. This was in front of the kids, in front of my mom. Things like this have happened throughout our marriage as well. Nikki was like two different people, and that’s what I always struggled with,” he claimed.

Allegedly, Nikki attacked Jamie with heavy objects multiple times, and during one of those times, he felt his fists clench, and he just left the house. He said he was never a man who would ever hurt or hit a woman, and Nikki triggering the feeling of him wanting to hit her back was enough sign that he needed to walk away.

“I’ve been in survival mode for years. My self-esteem has just completely crumbled. I’ve lost sense of who I am outside of being a father,” Jamie said in the video.

Instagram

People took their time to comment under Jamie’s video, with many offering their support and thanking him for speaking up openly of the abuse he experienced.

“You have so much strength. Everyone always believes when women say they’re being abused but when men try to stand up for themselves they’re shut down. Thank you for speaking up and I hope you heal and hope this shows other men they can stand up for themselves,” someone commented.

“Damn, I can feel his pain. As someone who went thru trauma in a marriage, I totally get why you choose to be transparent now. The transparency IS a huge part of the healing process. I hope Jamie and Nikki get the happiness they deserve and eventually build a healthy relationship for the kids,” another person added.

Some songs never lose their popularity no matter how much time passes by and are simply meant to last forever. One such tune is Unchained Melody. Not many know that the song was first written for the film Unchained, which is a story about a prisoner who is torn between two choices; to finish his sentence or to escape prison and see his family.

With the music written by Alex North and the lyrics by Hy Zaret, Unchained Melody is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by The Righteous Brothers.

It regained its popularity after it was featured in the film Ghost in 1990. The scene in which Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore make pottery together while the song is on in the background is considered iconic by many.

One of the videos of The Righteous Brothers’ rendition has been seen over 76 million times.

“I swear I can feel the chills going up and down my back when he hits those high notes. I feel like crying knowing that this amazing man is gone,” one fan commented under the video.

Elvis Presley was another prominent artist who gave Unchained Melody new life.

The perfect combination of this song and Elvis’ out-of-this-world vocal abilities triggered deep emotions whenever he performed it.

YouTube

In the video below, the legendary Unchained Melody is played by several different orchestras which all go with their own versions, creating an enchanting rendition.

All the participants are in uniforms so we get to see the “soft” side of the members of the military personnel. The sound of sousaphones, drums, clarinets, horns and more only add to the beauty of the performance which takes place in a full stadium in Bremen, Germany, in 2002.

This is definitely something you don’t want to miss. Take a look at the mesmerizing rendition of Unchained Melody below. It has been seen over 10.6 million times.

Ex-model on addiction and homeless life: ‘I’m in a lot of pain’

By

Once considered a bombshell who posed for a slew of magazines, Loni Willison is now a homeless person often spotted digging through California dumpsters.

According to the ex-fitness model, her life fell apart following her divorce from Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson.

 X17 Online spoke to Loni in May, 2023. In the interview, she blamed her ex, whom she accused of trying to strangle her once, for her downward spiral.

“My ex-husband. Getting married. At least I got divorced,” she said when asked what the reason for her being homeless is. “He set everything up to do this to me.”

Loni and Jeremy tied the knot in 2012 and their union ended two years later. Loni then suffered mental breakdown, anxiety and depression. Her breakdown, combined with addictions to alcohol and crystal meth, led to her losing her job and her home, making her a homeless person.

According to reports, she has been offered help on several occasions, but she refused, asserting her independence. She was quoted saying, “I don’t need help. I have everything I need.”

Speaking to X17 Online, Loni said she was in a lot of pain, claiming she can’t live indoors because someone “electrocuted” her every day for nearly a year and she now can’t be any near appliances or exposed to electricity.

“I think because I [pick up] on electricity, I also pick up on other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, like wire, different types of metals. So I think my body even filters that kind of stuff,” she said.

“I’m not sure exactly, I’d have to go through a big X-ray, sonogram machine or something to see that. It’s pretty intense.”

The former spouse of the Baywatch star appeared to have lost some of her upper front teeth.

Her ex, who is active on the social media, has experienced some rough times himself since Baywatch. In 2017, he was sentenced to 270 days in prison and put on probation for five years after striking a plea deal for allegedly stabbing a woman in LA in 2015. He has also battled addictions.

As of Loni, her days are tough and she struggles to make ends meet while trying to provide food for herself with the few belongings she keeps in the shopping cart she carries with her wherever she goes.

The once gorgeous blonde model is unrecognizable in the her dumpy, dirty clothes.

Liam Payne’s cause of death revealed: One Direction singer’s tragic death at 31

By

Liam Payne, the former One Direction band member, died on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

Payne traveled to Argentina on September 30 to watch One Direction co-star Niall Horan on tour after. Previously, he joked about wanting to “square up a couple of things” with his former bandmate.

While there, Payne shared videos of himself and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who left the country two days prior to her boyfriend’s tragic passing.

The reason why she returned home from Argentina without Payne was that she couldn’t stay at one place for too long, stating on TikTok that “we were supposed to be there for, like, five days, turned into two weeks.”

She added: “I was just like, ‘I need to go home.’ I was so happy to be home. It was so relieving.”

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – OCTOBER 16: Police and firefighters work the scene at Casa Sur hotel where former One Direction member Liam Payne reportedly died on October 16, 2024 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to the Buenos Aires police department, Payne fell from the window of the hotel he was staying at in the Palermo neighborhood, one of the most well-known areas in Buenos Aires.

On the last photo he shared on his social media, Payne posed alongside Cassidy. It has been reported that he died minutes later.

On that tragic day, a worker at the hotel called 911 and reported a guest who was “behaving erratically.” After smashing his laptop, Payne was forced into his room.

“We have a guest who is off his head on drugs and alcohol, and well, when he is conscious he is destroying everything in the room,” the worker who made the call said. “And we need you to send someone, please.”

The report from National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No. 14. stated that Payne died from “polytrauma, internal and external hemorrhage,” further stating that he was “going through some kind of outbreak due to substance abuse.”

The case is being investigated as a “doubtful death,” though it appears Payne was alone at the time of the fall.

Sadly, Payne wasn’t a stranger to substance abuse. In fact, he was open of his struggles with “pills and booze” addiction at the height of his fame.

“In the band… the best way to secure us, because of how big we’d got, was just to lock us in our rooms. What’s in the room? A mini-bar,” he said in a 2021 interview on the The Diary of a CEO podcast. “So at a certain point I thought, I’m just going to have a party-for-one and that seemed to carry on for many years of my life. Then you look back at how long you’ve been drinking and you’re like, ‘Jesus Christ, that’s a long time.’”

In May 2023, he shared with his fans that he was 100 days sober and feeling great about it.

One Direction, the band that competed on X Factor, was signed by Simon Cowell, and turned to be one of the most famous boy bands in history, helped Payne reach worldwide fame.

They were adored by millions and worshiped by legions of fans who are now heartbroken by the musician’s loss.

“He was my favorite,” Camila Martínez, a 24-year-old mourning outside the hotel in Argentina, told the New York Times. “My heart shattered when the band split. My life was tough, and I’d turn to their music whenever I felt sad.”

British singer-songwriter Rita Ora, who collaborated with Payne on the song For You, posted on X. “I’m devastated,” she wrote. “He had the kindest soul, I will never forget. I loved working with him so much – he was just such a joy to be around on and off stage. This tragic news breaks my heart. Sending all my love and prayers to his family and loved ones.”

His former bandmates released a joint statement.

Payne’s One Direction bandmates also released a joint statement on his death this afternoon:

“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing,” the Hollywood Reporter. “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.” 

We are so sorry for this devastating loss. Rest in peace, Liam Payne.

In a two-hour talk with Elon Musk, Donald Trump claims domestic ‘enemies’ were ‘more dangerous’ than foreign

By

Starting 42 minutes later than planned due to technical difficulties, the interview former president Donald Trump gave on X was heard by over 1 million people. It has been said that Elon Musk expected around 8 million people to join in the talk that Trump dubbed the “greatest interview ever.”

The X owner and Tesla CEO has been a supporter of Trump, and he showed that again when he joined the former president on the stage at his high-profile rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — the same place Trump was nearly assassinated in July.

The billionaire was seen wearing a hat with “Make America Great Again” written on it and his signature “Occupy Mars” shirt.

Trump started the discussion giving detailed insight of the assassination attempt on him. He then accused the Democrats for violently replacing Baden on the presidential ticket with Musk commenting, that the party “took [Biden] out back behind the shed and basically shot him.”

Further, Trump tackled the issue of inflation, saying, “I think we have the worst inflation we’ve had in 100 years… bacon costing four or five times more than it did a few years ago.”

As expected, he attacked his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, for various issues, including immigration, saying that the current government has let criminals and non-productive people cross the border and get into the States. He also stated that Harris was becoming a “radical left, San Francisco liberal… and now she wants to be more Trump than Trump.”

Trump left many stunned with his statement that domestic ‘enemies’ were ‘more dangerous’ than foreign, declaring that North Korean, Chinese, and Russian leaders were “at the top of their game.”

“They are tough, they are smart and they are vicious,” he said.

Trump claimed that American farmers struggled to sell their products abroad and that selling US cars in Europe was “impossible.” He also exaggerated the US aid to Ukraine and downplayed

Europe’s contributions in its conflict with Russia. However, most of the claims he made were dubbed false by the media following his interview.

“We have a deficit with [the EU] of $250 billion, which people don’t know,” the former president stated. “It sounds so nice—’the European Union’. But let me tell you: they’re not as tough as China, but they’re bad. And I let them know it, and that’s probably why they notified you. No, they don’t treat our country well.”

Though Musk shares many political views with Trump, his support for him throughout the recent years has been off again, on again.

Back in 2022, Much posted on Twitter, “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.”

The two, however, agreed on the issue of COVID19 and were against restrictions. Further, their bond got stronger after Musk’s companies faced a number of federal investigations over employment practices, his takeover of Twitter and claims about Tesla’s autopilot feature under Biden’s administration.

Speaking to Yahoo News,  journalist and conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild spoke of Trump’s change of election landscape, which is becoming increasingly less reliant on traditional media.

“New voters, the people who are just getting involved in the electoral process, those are people you can reach through streamers, through podcasts, through influencers. So it’s a very smart strategy,” Rothschild told the outlet. “It’s not the hour-long cable news special, it’s not the press conference. … Trump himself has completely upended what it means to be campaigning.”

Following the two-hour long interview, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign said that Trump’s “extremism” was on “full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight.” 

“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself—self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class.”

Tom Brady and the ‘mystery model’ have been casually ‘hooking up’ this summer

By

-

Dubbed one of the most handsome and most successful sport players, Tom Brady, model Gisele Bündchen’s ex-husband, is having someone new in his life.

Brady and Bündchen were a much loved celebrity couple and their separation was a shock to many of their fans as their marriage seemed picture-perfect. Sadly, after two children and 13 years of marriage they decided to call it quits.

After being linked with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Reese Witherspoon, Page Six reported that Brady was seen flirting with model Irina Shayk. According to the magazine, the two were reportedly dating.

However, the newest stories are that Brady is in fact seeing someone else, 27-year-old model Brooks Nader.

Prior to the news, the two were spotted together in public a handful of times and were said they were “casually dating.”

The pair attended Michael Rubin’s star-studded Fourth of July white party together, but at the event, Brady was also spotted chatting to other women. 

Nader, who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2019, recently separated from her husband, Billy Haire, with a representative confirming, “The split is amicable.” Following the breakup, she was seen holding hands with Prince Constantine Alexios at a wedding in June.

Brady has three children, 13-year-old Benjamin and 10-year-old Vivian whom he co-parents with Bündchen and an older son whom he has with actress Bridget Moynahan, the I Robot star. The two dated for two years, from 2004 to 2006 before he started dating the Brazilian model. “Certainly, a lot of people make sacrifices for their family, and I’m dealing with a certain situation, a very joyous, happy situation”, Tom said at the time he learned Moynahan was carrying his child while he had already started dating Bündchen. “And some people have dealt with death in the past and that’s incredibly difficult.”

When rumors emerged that the seven Super Bowls winner dated Kardashian and Witherspoon, they all denied the rumors. “Kim and Tom have friends and business partners in common,” but the pair is not dating, Brady’s representatives told E! News. People close to Kardashian said, “Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school, and preparing for American Horror Story, which starts production next month.”

As of Witherspoon, who recently separated from her husband, both she and Brady shut down the rumors of their alleged relationship. In fact, they both said that they have never even met.

Speaking of Brady, his ex-wife said, “Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever,” Bundchen admitted to Vanity Fair. “If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me. I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”
