Prosecutors have announced they will NOT file criminal charges against soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for an alleged sexual assault from 2009.
As we previously reported, Kathryn Mayorga claims Ronaldo raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room back in 2009.
She claims she met CR7 at Rain Nightclub in the Palms hotel in June 2009 and he invited her up to his penthouse suite to party and hot tub. There are photos of Mayorga and Ronaldo hanging out at the nightclub together that evening.
She had initially filed a police report describing the alleged crime — but didn’t identify Ronaldo by name.
Mayorga sued Ronaldo claiming she later accepted a $375,000 payment in exchange for her silence — but recently announced she wants that agreement voided and went to cops to pursue a criminal case against Ronaldo.
In court documents, Mayorga described the alleged attack … saying while changing her clothes in the penthouse suite, “Ronaldo entered the bathroom, exposed his erect penis and asked [her] to perform fellatio.”
Mayorga claimed she refused and wanted to leave — but Ronaldo “pulled [her] into a bedroom and onto a bed and attempted to engage in sexual intercourse.”
Mayorga claims she tried to fight Ronaldo off — but he turned her onto her side and sodomized her while she screamed “no, no, no.”
Ronaldo had adamantly denied the allegations — and said, “Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.”
Now, the Clark County District Attorney’s Office has made a decision to NOT prosecute — claiming “the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Internet celebrity and Venezuelan hottie Lele Pons has shared another inticing photo to her Instagram feed, and it’s catching the attention of her followers. In the new post, Lele is posing in a skintight gold metallic dress, and it’s not the hemline that’s shocking.
Lele wore her signature blonde hair in natural waves which cascaded down her back as she opted for a dark lip and dramatic eye makeup. Despite the former Vine celebrities killer curves being on display in the photo, that’s not what her 30 million-plus followers were looking at. Out of frame extended an arm which grabbed a large chunk of Lele’s butt, and the 22-year-old seemed completely unphased by it all.
The red shirt and gold bangle didn’t give the identity away of the mystery grabber, but loyal followers of Lele should have figured out who it was. If they couldn’t, the grabber was identified in Lele’s Instagram story, and it was none other than Hannah Stocking. Hannah is another famous Instagram celebrity and is the best friend of Miss Lele.
Hannah and Lele constantly post photos with one another on Instagram, mixing hot photos with comedy. Their fun posts make them stand out among your run-of-the-mill Instagram models, and the ladies have a combined 52 million-plus followers and average over 1 million likes per post.
Lele’s new gold dress post brought in an impressive 2.8 million likes and over 60,000 comments. It was the most popular post for the star in the last couple of weeks, and fans were filling up the comment section with love. While most of Lele’s followers were joking about Hannah grabbing her butt, others left fire symbol and heart-eyed emojis showing their own support for the fun photo.
Hannah also shared a photo the same day, wearing the same red dress as in Lele’s post. What couldn’t be seen in Lele’s post was the exaggerated stomach-high slit in the floor length dress Hannah was donning. The dress made it impossible to sport any kind of underwear, so the 27-year-old decided to go without.
There was a good bit of comedy in Hannah’s post as well, as Lele sat on the couch in the background with a “wow” face as she looked at her friend. Lele was pretending to be flabbergasted at the over-the-top dress, and instead of followers checking out Hannah, all eyes went to the back of the photo for a good laugh. Hannah also documented some of the duo’s fun photoshoot on her Instagram story.
The young stars of Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things” are starting to age past their fictional counterparts on the show. Both Sadie Sink (who plays Max) and Caleb McLaughlin, for example, are 17 years old while their characters are meant to be about 14 and just starting high school.
Keep reading to see how each of the teenage characters on “Stranger Things” differ in age from the actors who play them.
Actress Millie Bobby Brown is 15 years old, while her character Eleven should be about 14 on the show.
When Eleven was first introduced on the show, we didn’t know her exact age — only that her mother had been trying to find her for about 12 years.
Now that about two years have passed, that would mean Eleven is approximately 14 years old.
Finn Wolfhard is now 16 years old, though his character Mike Wheeler is meant to be around 14.
Like Eleven, Mike and his friends should all be just about 14 years old. They graduated from middle school between seasons two and three, and are just about to start high school on “Stranger Things.”
Noah Schnapp is currently 14 years old — the same age as Will Byers on “Stranger Things.”
Of all the actors and their fictional counterparts, Schnapp is closest matched with his character.
Caleb McLaughlin is 17 years old, while Lucas is around 14.
Just like the rest of the friend group, Lucas is about to start his freshman year of high school on “Stranger Things.” But McLaughlin is almost 18, and was thefirst of his costars to get a driver’s license.
Twelve-year-old Priah Ferguson plays Lucas’ 10-year-old sister, Erica.
Erica is heading into middle school, taking over the role of youngest nerd on “Stranger Things” now that the boys have aged up.
Sadie Sink is 17 years old while her character is around 14.
Just like the young actor who plays her on-screen boyfriend, Caleb McLaughlin, Sink is a bit older than her other teen costars on “Stranger Things.”
Dacre Montgomery, 24, plays Max’s brother Billy, a recent high school graduate.
Billy arrived to Hawkins and joined the other older teens in high school last season. We’re pretty sure he was in Steve Harrington’s grade, which means he would’ve graduated just before the start of “Stranger Things 3” and is around 18 years old.
Gaten Matarazzo is 16 years old, and plays 14-year-old Dustin Henderson.
Once again, Dustin should be around 14 on the third season of “Stranger Things” as he heads into high school for the first time.
Joe Keery is 27, while his character Steve Harrington just finished high school and is about 18 years old.
Keery’s character Steve has become friends with the younger teens on the show and looks after them. In real life, the actor is a decade older than all of his costars.
“Stranger Things” newcomer Maya Hawke is 21 years old, and plays 18-year-old Robin.
Like Steve Harrington, Robin’s character just finished high school and is therefore around 18 years old.
Twenty-two-year-old Natalia Dyer plays high school senior Nancy Wheeler.
Nancy is just about to start her final year of high school, which means she’s around 17 or 18 — about five years younger than the actress in real life.
Charlie Heaton is 25 years old, while his character Jonathan Byers is about 17 years old.
Heaton and Dyerare dating in real life, just like their fictional counterparts on “Stranger Things.” Heaton is about eight years older than the character he plays on the show, though.
Whether youopen your presents on Christmas Eveor Christmas morning (or both!), once the wrapping paper is thrown out, and the gift receipts are located, you’ll probably take some time to scroll through the holiday Instagram stories of famouses and non-famouses alike. This year, our favorite celebrities donned formal wear, as well as matching flannel pajamas; some of them were relatively low key, while some were predictably extra. But who had the most lit Christmas?
Frompuppiesto profane Goyard trunks, here are the celebrity Christmases that were much more luxurious than ours:
First and most importantly, we must discuss Kris Jenner’s customized Goyard luggage. A simple monogram is so 2019; proclaiming that you’re “rich as f*ck” is 2020 energy.
Kylie Jenner had to dip early from Kim Kardashian’s Christmas Eve party — such are the demands of #momlife. (Wearing dresses that require help getting in and out of are, presumably, among the demands of #JennerLife.)
What did Kim’s party look like, do you ask? It involved real snow (yes, in Calabasas!), a performance from John Legend, and a cameo by the Grinch. Khloé Kardashian took full advantage of twinkle lights, which served as a perfect Instagram installation.
Reese Witherspoon, managed to pull off a classic family photo.
The J-Rod household went all the way on matching Christmas pajamas.
Stephen Curryis standing up for his wifeAyeshaafter she was mocked for doing the “Milly Rock” dance at her new restaurant.
“Slow news day today, I see, huh?” the Golden State Warriors star, 31, said in a video shared on his Instagram Stories Wednesday. “Just make sure y’all send me the video of you dancing at your own restaurant opening.”
“And we’re going to keep Milly Rocking until that happens,” Stephen added while doing the dance, created by rapper 2 Milly.
He then panned the camera to show Ayesha, who was hiding her face in embarrassment.
“I hate you,” she jokingly said.
On Tuesday, Ayesha, 30,went viral after a video surfacedof her dancing at the opening of International Smoke in Del Mar, California — her fourth restaurant.
Social media users were quick tocriticize her moveswriting, “Ayesha Curry should go to jail for dancing like that… man flat out.”
Ayesha Curry dancing for her husband Stephen Curry
“When do we get to stop watching this lady? Curry look like he’s at church and ready to leave?” a differenttweetread.
Nonetheless, Stephen wasn’t the only one to come to Ayesha’s defense.
“So @AyeshaCurry was trending because she was dancing for her man? What’s wrong with that? She doesn’t have to be the best dancer. Her man knows what’s up,” one fanwroteon Twitter.
“Ayesha Curry dancing was cute and she was having fun y’all just love to hate on women,” another fanexpressed.
“I Milly Rock like Ayesha Curry all the time because I think it’s funny. Sometimes women wanna dance goofy instead of twerking all the time. Let people live!!” one usertweeted.
Ayesha has yet to publicly comment on the backlash, but instead has shared aplethora of photosof her new eatery.
“Yesterday was a dream. We celebrated our 4th @internationalsmoke opening in Del Mar. I can’t thank the team enough. I have no words. This will never feel normal,” Ayesha captioned the slideshow, which starts with her cutting the ribbon.
“I am so grateful. Thank you to my family and friends for coming to support me as well. We didn’t get pictures because we had wayyyy too much fun,” she added.
Ayesha’sother restaurantsare located in Aventura, Florida; Houston, Texas; and San Francisco, California.
The dancing incident comes after Ayesha was forced toshut down critics, who credited her success in the food industry to her husband.
“I think a lot of people do not take me seriously,” said the mom todaughters Riley, 6, and Ryan, 4, and son Canon, 1, in Working Mother‘s June/July cover story. “They think this is something I’ve obtained because of my husband’s income. That’s not true. He hasn’t invested a dime in my restaurant business.”
Ayesha shared a particularly frustrating time when a male reporter “bashed” her on live television, telling her she should “be more like the other [basketball] players’ wives,” she recalled. “He literally said, ‘They sit there, they don’t cause any problems, and they look pretty.’”
“Why am I not allowed to have a passion and a dream and a voice?” she added. “That started a fire in me. I could not be stopped, and I wanted to prove myself.”
And prove herself she has. The Food Network star has since added a cookware lineand meal kit to her resume. Her hard work is paying off, too: The critics have quieted a bit.
“Stephen doesn’t get any negative [questions] about me,” she told Working Mother. “Especially in the Bay Area, people say to him, ‘I like her food a lot,’ and that’s been special for me.”
The Bradford-born singer told Joe Irvine that he made her ‘sick’, called him a ‘laughing stock’, and said she was ‘ashamed’ to be there.
The incident saw the popstar and her husband Willy Moon sacked from The X Factor panel, with Natalia basically going into hiding for a bit and reemerging under the name Teddy Sinclair.
Now, Teddy – her legal name – is finally addressing the scandal that seemingly ended her career three years ago, although legally, she can’t confirm whether it was real or fake.
‘If I were someone else watching me, I’d think I were Satan, too. I’m not a victim here because I was there. I did that. On television.’
To recap, here’s what Teddy, then Natalia, said to Joe: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’m just going to state the obvious – we have a doppelganger in our midst. As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you have copied my husband. From the hair to the suit – do you not have any value or respect for originality?
‘You’re a laughing stock, it’s cheesy, it’s disgusting. I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious. I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence, having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion. ‘It’s disgusting. You make me sick. You have no identity. I can’t stand it. I’m ashamed to be here.’
Her husband Willy then chimed in: ‘It just feels a little bit cheap and absurd. It’s like Norman Bates dressing up in his mother’s clothing. It’s just a little bit creepy, I feel like you’re going to stitch someone’s skin to your face and kill everyone in the audience.’
The fierce backlash following the incident saw Teddy receive vile death threats, as well as horrific racist remarks on the internet – something she says was worse than the scandal itself.
She said: ‘The thing that felt sad at the time, was sometimes there’s a voice in my head… it felt like sometimes you wake up screaming on the inside like, if I just told the truth, everyone would know and these 20,000 death threats would go away. And not just death threats for me, but for my family as well.’
SingerMonica Brownapparently raised a few eyebrows with a recent social media share.
Since the announcement of her filing fordivorcefrom former NBA journeymanShannon Browna few months ago, social media sought answers as to why the couple decided to call it quits in the first place. Well, after months of prodding, it seems folks may have gotten their answer.
The “Commitment” singer took toInstagramWednesday with some thoughts about her upcoming album, “Chapter 38,” that may possibly shine light on her and Shannon’s marital woes. In her post, she spoke on significant others blaming their partner’s mistress or lover as the reason their relationship crumbled.
“I have lots of feelings & beliefs that I often keep to myself… I Decided to share them on my album Chapter 38,” Monica wrote along with a photo of herself sitting on the back of a golf cart. “I hate to hear women/men say that whomever their spouse cheated with is the reason you all are apart! In truth it was the choice of your spouse that cheated that’s at fault… It’s your man or woman’s job to respect and honor you !! Am I right or nah? lol #ThatsHowIFeel #Chapter38Conversations.”
“You are “Right” and always keep it 💯,” one fan agreed with the singer. “If they both know they play a part in it as well.”
A second person commented, “Big Facts ⭕️ Nothing But Truthfulness you’re on point Mo 👏.”
Other folks assumed Monica insinuated her estranged husband cheated on her.
“I knew he cheated!! I’m so glad she left him 💯.”
“I’m ready for this album sis. C’mon 😩 she bout to spill all the tea about her husband.”
“I wonder who her husband cheated with? From her live it sound like a friend 🤦.”
Monica reportedly filed for divorce from Shannon in early March after nearly nine years of marriage. She attempted to keep the court record sealed, but the public caught wind of it a few weeks later. It’s unclear as to what caused their split and neither have commented on it.
However, in a recent episode of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle,” shehintedto their marriage being over for good and said she was more focused on her children. The pair share 5-year-old Laiyah Brown together. She also has two sons, Rocko and Romelo Hill, from her previous relationship with Atlanta rapper Rocko Hill.
In response, Thorne shared a slideshow of photos that show her cryingon her Finsta account, which is an alternative Instagram account that is often more honest.

Lil Nas X is laughing off homophobic comments after the viral “Old Town Road” rapper came out as gay because … Can’t nobody tell me nothing.
The Atlanta musician, 20, closed out Pride Month by revealing his sexual orientation through song lyrics. HetweetedMonday, “just cuz i’m gay don’t mean i’m not straight.”
While many fans and artists embraced Lil Nas X for publicly embracing his authentic self, others turned his announcement into a cruel punchline with nasty comments.
Some trolls suggested that the chorus to his hit viral country-rap hit was alluding to his sexual preference, leading Lil Nas X totweet: “old town road is literally about horses.”
The homophobic comments didn’t stop there.
On anInstagram postmeant to celebrate his song’s historic run on the Billboard charts, Lil Nas X received comments bashing his identity, ranging from “Can you not be gay” to “He’s gay I’m no longer listening to this (expletive)” to “U still gay tho.”
The rapper made light of the remarks. “Just got news that i’m gay and i will no longer be streaming my music. i’m sorry that (expletive) is just not ok,” he sarcasticallytweetedTuesday.
But, it appears the harassment started to weigh on Lil Nas X. He shared anInstagrampicture of a gun-wielding sad face emoji in a cowboy hat Tuesday. He wrote, “say one more (homophobic) thing to me.”
Despite the trolls, many supporters rallied around him.
“Focus on all the good in your life. Don’t allow these fools get to you. It’s a lot of us out here proud of who and what you represent,” commented the rapper’s father.
