Eight employees at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Florida were fired after they were seen dancing provocatively in a viral video.

The video showed the workers dancing in their red and black uniforms with name badges visible. The video was captioned: “My CFA crew better than yours.”

The employee who posted the video under the TikTok handle @lland1n, later said everyone involved had consented to the video recording. She said the video was recorded after their shift had ended and no customers were in the restaurant. Chairs were stacked neatly on the tables in the background of the video.

However, the franchise owner said the video violated Chick-fil-A’s morality standards and code of conduct. The owner added each employee to a group chat and informed them they were fired and to turn in their uniforms.

The mass firings sparked debates about corporate overreach and freedom of expression in the workplace.

No official corporate statement has been issued.

Chick-fil-A’s website says the corporation provides “a strong and caring culture [that] is essential to employee success and fulfillment in their careers.”

Jaden Ivey will receive his full $10.1 million salary after being waived by the Chicago Bulls for “conduct detrimental to the team.”

Ivey, 24, was let go after criticizing the NBA’s Gay Pride Month celebrations. The devout Christian referred to the league’s Pride celebrations as “unrighteousness.”

When one Instagram user told Ivey they were praying for him, Ivey responded, “God does not hear your Prayer if you are a sinner.”

Players and fans weighed in on Ivey’s punishment, with many saying the Bulls should have provided mental health resources for Ivey.

Sports journalist Sage Steele tweeted on Tuesday:

“IF it’s true that Jaden Ivey has mental health issues, wouldn’t it be best for @chicagobulls & the league to HELP him vs cut him? Offer him resources? Just like the @nba did for Ben Simmons, DeMar DeRozan, Kevin Love & so many others. WHY ARE THE RULES DIFFERENT FOR JADEN?”

Bulls insiders say Ivey was waived because he constantly preached the Gospel to his teammates and Bulls staffers. He also allegedly asked reporters whether they were fornicators or sinners.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan explained the team’s decision to waive Ivey.

“I think there’s a certain level of standards and expectations that are here,” he said.

“I mean, we have people from all different walks of life working in the building and players from all different walks of life, right? So, the first thing is, everybody comes with their own personal experiences. But one is, we’ve got to all be professional. I think there’s got to be a high level of respect for one another, and we got to help each other and then be accountable to those standards.”

Ivey was in the final season of a 4-year rookie contract that he signed after the Detroit Pistons drafted him with the No. 5 pick in 2022.

The Bulls acquired Ivey from the Pistons in February ahead of this season’s trade deadline.

Ivey’s wife, Caitlyn, apparently took their children and left him. He complained that she won’t answer his text messages.

Oscar winner Halle Berry showed off her new bob hairstyle and perfect abs in a workout photo session on Instagram.

Halle wore curve-fitting, black active wear that accentuated her toned physique and tight abs.

One of the photos shows the sweaty, makeup-free star holding a pair of dumbbells in her home gym.

Another photo shows Halle balancing herself on an exercise ball to tighten her core muscles.

The “Boomerang” actress, 59, captioned the post: “Got my mind right and my body is following!”

Halle and her fiancé Van Hunt, 56, recently paid a visit to the Vogue offices in Paris, France. Van is an R&B singer, producer and musician who released a few albums. But he is best known as Halle Berry’s significant other.

Halle rocked a cute dark brown bob with curly bangs, courtesy of celebrity stylist Renato Campora, during her “Crime 101” movie press tour.

She first debuted the haircut on her Instagram page last month.

Halle previously told Vogue’s The Run-Through that hair is her entry point for every character she plays. “That’s the first thing I have to figure out, honestly. Once I know the hair that’s on that [character’s] head, that tells me a lot about who they are,” she said.

Halle is set to star in the upcoming drama, Fleur, in which she plays an American housewife who moves to Paris after fleeing her stifling, decades-long marriage.

In Paris, the bored housewife reinvents herself as an “upscale escort and dominatrix,” who provides discreet services to wealthy men.

Even though the bob cut is for a movie character, Halle still sports the trendy style as a source of inspiration while out & about in Gay Paree!

Halle and Van share an apartment in Paris while she’s working on movie projects.

Halle and other American actors are working and living in Europe, where Hollywood movie studios moved their production facilities to take advantage of low taxes.

Movie studios that were based in Atlanta have also moved to Europe. The move has impacted the local economy in Atlanta, where apartments and houses south of the airport sit empty.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calls for impeachment of circuit judge

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis moved to impeach an activist judge for releasing a convicted felon who then killed his stepdaughter while out on bond.

Judge Tiffany Baker-Carper presided over Daniel Spencer’s case in April 2025. Spencer was convicted of traveling to engage in unlawful sexual conduct with a child.

Despite warnings that Spencer was a danger to the public, Judge Baker-Carper allowed him to remain free on bond while awaiting sentencing.

While out on bond, Spencer killed his 5-year-old stepdaughter, Missy Mogle, in Tallahassee.

Spencer and Missy’s mother, Chloe Spencer, both face murder, abuse and child neglect charges. They are accused of killing the child by asphyxiation.

On Tuesday, Gov. DeSantis signed Missy’s Law, which bans judges from releasing violent offenders while awaiting sentencing.

DeSantis also called for the House to impeach Judge Baker-Carper.

“This is an outrage,” DeSantis said after signing Missy’s Law. “This should be such an easy call to make sure that this guy was put behind bars, and this judge refused to do it.”

DeSantis said Missy’s murder was “Totally preventable, a miscarriage of justice, a dereliction of judicial duty.”

“We live in a time where some people just don’t get it, and that includes some of these judges who just don’t want to hold these people accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” DeSantis said.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier also called for the impeachment of Judge Baker-Carper.

“Judge Baker-Carper’s decision that allowed Spencer, a convicted child predator, to remain on bond is why Missy is dead today,” Uthmeier wrote: “This decision wasn’t just disgraceful, reckless, and unthinkable; it rises to the level of a ‘misdemeanor in office.'”

Uthmeier said Missy’s law will prevent social activist judges like Baker-Carper from grossly abusing “their discretion by inexplicably refusing to take custody of convicted child sex predators, allowing them to continue preying on our children.”

“Judge Baker-Carper’s actions brought disrepute upon the judiciary,” Uthmeier continued. “But despite the obvious danger and warnings, Judge Baker-Carper let Spencer remain free, causing the untimely, violent murder of Missy.”

Missy’s law goes into effect in Florida on July 1, 2026.

Rapper Big Boi, of Outkast, is a President Trump supporter. Big Boi’s fans were shocked to learn that he follows Trump on X.com.

One person tweeted: “Lizzo told the world maybe 6 months ago, that we would see a lot of your favorite hip hop artist come out to support Trump. They probably being paid off and Lizzo was exposing it. How else did she know this would happen?”

Another person wrote: “Most middle class – wealthy black men are conservative.”

TV mogul Nick Cannon and TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas are also Trump supporters.

In a video, Nick said, “People don’t know that Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.”

Online records show Chilli donated to Trump’s reelection campaign in 2024. But she denied being a Trump supporter when pressed by her fans, who are mostly Democrats.

NBA free agent Tristan Thompson recently visited the White House where he met with President Donald Trump.

Thompson appeared on the Katie Miller podcast, where he discussed his views on Trump’s immigration policy.

“What President Trump is doing, first of all, I love what he’s done so far for our country. I think he’s helped our country a lot,” he said.

Thompson added: “I believe for those that do the thing the right way and get the papers, I think they should be taken care of first and foremost. That’s the right way of going about it. It should be case by case on the right people.”

Thompson was born in Canada and became a U.S. citizen in 2020. He shares 2 children, daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 3, with reality TV star Khloe Kardashian. Thompson is also the legal guardian of his mentally disabled brother, Amari Thompson.

Thompson, 35, is now a free agent after finishing the 2025 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He was selected 4th overall by the Cavaliers in 2011 and he helped the team win the NBA Championship in 2016.

Former NBA player Jaden Ivey says his wife took their children and won’t respond to his text messages. Jaden and Caitlyn Ivey share two minor children named Noah and Shiloh.

The Chicago Bulls waived Ivey on Monday after he criticized the NBA’s Gay Pride Month celebration, which he called “unrighteous”. The shooting guard is now a free agent.

Ivey learned he was dismissed from the team while he was on the injured list following knee surgery.

The devout Christian said in a video, “The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month — and the NBA does too. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets — unrighteousness. So how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? How are they to say that, ‘Man, this man is crazy’?”

Other NBA players came to his defense. Former teammate Patrick Williams wrote: “I stand with Jaden Ivey on everything he said. If they cut him, they might as well cut me too.”

Among those not showing support for Ivey is his wife, Caitlyn.

In an Instagram Live video, Ivey says Caitlyn betrayed him and won’t return his text messages.

“Those who are around me, those who are my family members are betraying me because of what I spoke. The truth. Betraying me. Saying that I’m losing my mind. Saying that I’m crazy. Saying that I don’t know the truth. These are my own family members who love me. My blood. Those who raised me saying that I don’t know the truth… Saying, ‘Man, he’s psycho.’ He’s this, he’s that. Those are my own household. All because of the gospel. All because I said the truth. That unrighteousness will not be let into God’s kingdom. That’s the truth. The Bible is true.”

Journalist Jemele Hill suggested Ivey might be in the midst of a mental breakdown.

Hill tweeted on Monday, “I honestly think Jaden Ivy is having some kind of episode. I have known folks who are zealots, but this seems like something more.”

Extreme religious preoccupation is a sign of psychological disorders such as bipolar, schizophrenia, and psychosis.

A user on X.com wrote:

“This is so sad to watch. Loved Ivey when he was here but he’s obviously going through some sort of mental issues and saying this kind of thing while truly believing it is just sad to see. Hope he gets better and understands the weight of his words.”

Tiger Woods pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence of an unknown substance. The golf legend was arrested after he rolled his SUV in Jupiter Island, Florida on March 27.

Woods retained power attorney Douglas Duncan, according to TMZ. Duncan represented Woods after his previous DUI arrest in 2017.

Sheriff’s deputies found 2 hydrocodone pills in his pocket at time of his arrest on March 27.

Woods blew zero on a breathalyzer test at the scene. But he refused to take a urinalysis test.

Woods was described as “slow and lethargic” and “sweating profusely” at the scene.

“Based on my observations of Woods, how he performed the exercises and based on my training, knowledge, and experience, I believed that Woods normal faculties were impaired, and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle,” the deputy wrote after the tests.

Woods told police he was distracted by his phone and radio before he clipped a trailer being towed by a pickup truck.

No one was injured in the accident. Woods told officers he took pain killers that morning.

When asked how many pills he took, Woods said, “I take a few.”

The 50-year-old golfer said he had undergone seven back surgeries and over 20 leg operations over the years.

In 2017, he pleaded guilty to reckless driving and agreed to enter a DUI diversion program. He was placed on probation for 12 months, and had to serve 50 hours of community service.

A drug test revealed five drugs in his system, including two painkillers in 2017.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (left) quoted Bible verses in his support for former NBA player Jaden Ivey.

Ivey was dismissed by the Chicago Bulls for criticizing the NBA’s Gay Pride Month celebrations.

Henderson shared Bible verses in posts on X.com after the news broke that Ivey was let go by the Bulls on Monday.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10,” Henderson wrote in one post.

Henderson, a devout Christian, quoted an X post that featured a video of Ivey’s comments calling the NBA celebrating Pride Night “unrighteous.”

Henderson retweeted a post by New York Jets cornerback Azareyeh Thomas who wrote:

“The world will try to make sin look normal and righteousness look strange. Believer or not, every single person on earth will soon have an appointment before Jesus. So if living for Christ makes us look crazy or “weird”, that’s okay because it isn’t strange to Christ. When it’s all said and done, we’ll give an account to an audience of One. (Romans 14:12, 2 Cor. 5:10).”

Thomas added: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness… Isaiah 5:20.”

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel commented on Henderson’s support of Ivey.

Coach Vrabel said he wants his players to feel comfortable sharing their personal beliefs. But he also wants them to understand that the Patriots organization is inclusive.

Coach Vrable said:

“I love TreVeyon. I love the person. He cares deeply about our team. He cares deeply about his faith. He cares deeply about his family, his wife, the people in our building. And so, I want them to be able to express what they believe in their heart and in their mind, but I also want to make sure that they’re educated, and we want to be inclusive. Everything we want to do, want to provide an environment for people to, want to feel comfortable, but also to share their personal beliefs. And also, we represent the team, and we represent the organization.”

Chicago Bulls player Patrick Williams also stood 10 toes down for his former teammate.

“I stand with Jaden Ivey on everything he said. If they cut him, they might as well cut me too,” Williams said.

Some X.com users say President Trump’s reelection in 2024 gave people like Jaden Ivey, Patrick Williams, Nick Cannon, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas the courage to publicly stand up for what they believe in.

Before Trump’s reelection, they were fearful of speaking out.

On Monday, Ivey, 24, questioned the Bulls’ decision to waive him “due to conduct detrimental to the team.”

In a livestream Instagram video, Ivey quoted the Bulls’ statement. “They said my conduct is detrimental to the team, right? Why don’t they just say ‘we don’t agree with his stance on LGBTQ?'”

He continued: “How is it conduct detrimental to the team? What did I do to the team? What did I do to the players? I did nothing but practice with them, play with them…”

Former NBA player Jaden Ivey questioned the Chicago Bulls’ decision to waive him “due to conduct detrimental to the team.”

The Bulls dismissed Ivey from the team on Monday after he criticized the NBA’s Pride Month celebrations.

In an Instagram video on Monday, Ivey asked how his behavior was detrimental to the team.

“They said my conduct is detrimental to the team, right? Why don’t they just say ‘we don’t agree with his stance on LGBTQ?'”

He continued: “How is it conduct detrimental to the team? What did I do to the team? What did I do to the players? I did nothing but practice with them, play with them…”

In a previous livestream video, Ivey criticized the NBA for celebrating Pride Month, which he called “unrighteousness”.

“The world proclaims LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA does too. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness,'” he said in one video.

Ivey also questioned how lesbian couples can have babies.

“How can a woman bear a child with a woman? How? Unless they go to the doctor and they… it can’t happen physically. They have the same body part.”

MEGA/WENN

Journalist Jemele Hill suggested Ivey may be having a mental breakdown due to his religious zealotry.

Hill tweeted on Monday, “I honestly think Jaden Ivy is having some kind of episode. I have known folks who are zealots, but this seems like something more.”

Extreme preoccupation with religion is a sign of psychological disorders such as bipolar, schizophrenia, and psychosis.

Hill debated with X users who say Ivey is being persecuted for his Christian beliefs.

The responses to Ivey’s statement on Instagram were mixed.

One follower wrote: “We stand with you Jaden. The NBA players need to do the same. The NBA players need to stand against the NBA and all the Sinful behaviour they promote. Kyrie was right to want to start an alternate league.”

Another person wrote: “That’s your perspective. Stop trying to force your Christian beliefs on everyone else. That’s the problem with Christians.”

A third person wrote: “NBA players can beat women, illegally possess weapons, get caught with large quantities of drugs, and nothing ever happens to them. Let one say something about Jesus and call sin what it is, and all of sudden that’s offensive enough to get cut. Disgusting.”

When Ivey called out NBA stars Steph Curry and LeBron James in a religious rant on a plane, a flight attendant asked him to turn off his live.

TLC’s T-Boz Has Never Supported Trump Orgs: “I don’t care about Trump”

TLC’s Tionne Watkins, aka T-Boz (left), is distancing herself from Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, who donated to President Trump’s reelection campaign.

As the backlash continues over Chilli’s past donations to Trump-linked organizations, sources close to T-Boz tell TMZ the singer has never supported organizations linked to Trump.

The sources don’t want T-Boz lumped in with Chilli’s political affiliations.

Insiders tell TMZ that T-Boz has “always let her views be known,” whether that be “sexual health, HIV, the LGBTQ community or Black Lives Matter.”

“T-Boz has been an advocate for the unheard voice,” the source added. They pointed out a 2017 interview the singer did with Channel 4 UK News, where she spoke about President Trump.

During the interview, T-Boz said, “I don’t care about Donald Trump … God is my president.” The source added that T-Boz’s stance hasn’t changed and that, “unless you see her say it, she shouldn’t be brought into any narrative that pulls away from that view.”

LionsShareNews / BACKGRID

Chilli was seen arriving at the Ontario airport on Monday, March 30, as the criticism over her political affiliations continue.

Chilli has since denied being a Trump supporter, saying she mistakenly believed the donations were tied to causes supporting veterans and anti-human trafficking efforts.

The singer said she loves children and cares about her dad, who is a military veteran.

“I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print. I thought I was supporting causes against human trafficking and for veterans.”

Chilli is engaged to Trump supporter Matthew Lawrence, whose brother is former child actor Joey Lawrence (“Gimme a Break!”).

Matthew, 46, is affiliated with the Republican Party. He once ran for office as a Republican candidate in Michigan in 2024.
