A GoFundMe created for Ashlee Jenae’s funeral expenses has raised nearly $64,000 in donations. The GoFundMe exceeded its original goal of $50,000. The money will be divided between Ashlee’s parents, Harry Robinson and Yolanda Denise Endres.
According to the GFM description, the funds will help cover travel costs, funeral arrangements, and unexpected expenses. Harry and Yolanda wrote in the description, “Thank you for standing with our family.”
Ashlee’s body was returned to her parents in New Jersey on April 24. According to TMZ, Ashlee’s engagement ring and other personal belongings are missing.
The Miami-based lifestyle influencer died by hanging inside a villa at a resort in Tanzania. Ashlee was in Tanzania to celebrate her engagement to crypto businessman Joe McCann.

She also celebrated her 31st birthday at a wildlife safari with Joe. Ashlee shared Instagram photos that showed her feeding a giraffe. She also shared video of Joe proposing to her.
On April 7, Zuri Zanzibar hotel staff heard a loud argument coming from their room. Hotel security separated them in different villas.

Joe reportedly found Ashlee unresponsive in her villa and contacted authorities. About 11 hours later, he called Ashlee’s parents to say she harmed herself.
Ashlee’s parents haven’t heard from Joe since that phone call. His social media followers say he is promoting his crypto business online.
Ashlee’s official cause of death is asphyxiation. But her parents rejected the idea that Ashlee committed suicide. They said she would never harm herself.
Harry and Yolanda plan to travel to Tanzania to meet with officials and review hotel surveillance footage.
NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace wishes he had more time to spend with his 2 children. Wallace and his wife of 4 years, Amanda Carter, share son Becks and daughter Cameron.
Wallace, 32, talked about his children during a recent appearance on the 12 Questions podcast.
When asked about his one-month-old daughter Cameron, Wallace laughed and said, “She is a lot. She’s hard to settle for whatever reason. Obviously, she’s super attached to mama right now and breastfeeding and all, so I’m not much help. Last night, she was up for three hours in the middle of the night. She always has one rough stretch where she just can’t go back to sleep. She fights sleep a lot.”
Wallace misses not seeing his toddler son Becks grow up. “It is interesting to see the differences. Last night at 4:30, I woke up wide awake and I went back and looked at Becks’ newborn photos and literally said out loud, ‘Whose f—ng kid is this?’ It didn’t look like him at all.”

When asked if he could add one zero to anything in his life, Wallace said he would add more time in the day.
“I’d say time. My first instinct was money, but that’s a double-edged sword. Time — there’s not enough time in the day. Everyone says everything happens fast once you have kids, and it’s true. If you have more time, you have more time to live. Right now, I’m up at 7 a.m. every day, it’s me and Becks, we’re man-to-man coverage.”
Wallace continued: “He goes down around 11 for his nap, wakes up, then you’re just clock-watching until the next part of the day when bath time is coming up. It’s like a cycle. It used to not be like this, obviously. So yeah — more time.”
Wallace was born to a black mother and white father in Mobile, Alabama. He is the only full-time black/biracial driver in NASCAR’s three national series.
The 2025 Brickyard 400 winner drives No. 23 Toyota Camry XSE for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing. Wallace is ranked 12th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings.
14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez discussed pregnancy, abortion and Plan B (morning after pill) with singer D4vd in text messages.
According to court records, their text exchanges contained references to pregnancy, abortion and Plan B. The L.A. County coroner’s office said it’s unclear whether Celeste was ever pregnant in the year before she died.
Investigators said D4vd met Celeste when she was only 11. They allegedly began a sexual relationship when she was 13. The prosecution recovered nude images of Celeste on D4vd’s iPhone.
Instagram
Police contacted D4vd in 2024 to inform him that Celeste was a 13-year-old runaway. D4vd told police he didn’t know her age or that she was a runaway. He said they only met once in person.
Celeste returned home 2 days later, and her mother took away her cell phone. D4vd then paid a student $1,000 to give Celeste a new iPhone he purchased for her so they could communicate.
Instagram
D4vd continued seeing Celeste and began a sexual relationship with the minor. They traveled to London, Las Vegas, and to Texas to visit his parents.
In a text message, Celeste wrote, “All we do is have sex and just hang out man I want more than that for myself.”
The singer allegedly plotted to kill Celeste after she sent texts threatening to expose him for cheating on her.
“The messages reveal the victim’s jealousy over defendant’s relationships with other women. She became extremely upset and threatened to disclose damaging information to end his career and destroy his life,” according to a court briefing.
On April 23, 2025, D4vd arranged for an Uber to pick up Celeste from her home in Lake Elsinore, California, and deliver her to his rental house in the Hollywood Hills. He fatally stabbed Celeste minutes after she arrived at his home at 10:10 pm.
“Knowing he had to silence the victim before she ruined his music career as she had threatened, very soon after her arrival at his home, defendant stabbed the victim to death multiple times and stood by while she bled out,” prosecutors said in the briefing.
Around 10:30 p.m. on April 23, 2025, D4vd sent text messages to Celeste’s cell phone inquiring where she was. He then drove to Santa Barbara to dispose of her belongings while texting her phone asking where she was. He never contacted her again after April 26, 2025.
Instagram
On April 24, 2025, D4vd ordered 2 chainsaws from Amazon.com under a false name. The chainsaws were mailed to his rental house. Prosecutors say he used the chainsaws to dismember Celeste in an inflatable pool in his garage. Blue fragments of the inflatable pool were found inside her wounds.
Afterwards, D4vd stored Celeste’s body in a freezer. At some point D4vd (or an accomplice) transferred her body to his Tesla before he went on tour in late August.
Celeste’s remains were found in 2 bags in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla at a police impound lot on September 8, 2025. He was arrested on April 14, 2026 and charged with first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
D4vd’s legal team asked the judge to seal the briefing because it would taint a jury pool. But the judge denied the request. A preliminary hearing is set for today (May 1). The judge ordered the L. A. County Sheriff’s Office to give D4vd a haircut for his court appearance. But the judge refused to allow him to wear street clothes.
Angel Reese made her Atlanta Dream debut in a matchup against her former team on Wednesday in Chicago.
The Dream defeated the Chicago Sky 87-78. But Angel’s clumsy debut gave Atlanta Dream fans nightmares. She managed to score just 8 points in the first half of the game.
On April 6, the Dream gave up 2 first round draft picks in exchange for the 6′-3″ “point forward.”
Angel was the main ball-handler in the first half. Her lack of dribbling skills caused fans to question the Dream’s coaching staff.
The most humiliating moment for Angel came when her former teammate Kamilla Cardoso snuffed her weak layup attempt.
Another X user wrote: “This is the effects of these girls caring more about social media, likes, and random podcasts instead of actually DEVELOPING their game. She seems to get worse.”
A third user commented: “Spent all her time trolling Jalen Duren instead of working on her game.”
Tatyana Ali shared her horrific maternal healthcare experience in a recent interview. The “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” actress, 47, shares two sons with her husband, Stanford English professor Vaughn Rasberry.
Tatyana said she is helping to raise awareness of racial bias in maternal healthcare after her horrific experience while giving birth to her first son. “I experienced obstetric violence in the hospital,” she said.
Tatyana said the doctor forced her to have a C-section when she didn’t want one. Labor and delivery staff pinned her arms and legs to the bed during her ordeal.

Speaking to Future of Personal Health, Tatyana explained: “My first birth experience led me to the reproductive justice movement. After a very joyful and healthy pregnancy, I experienced obstetric violence in the hospital. Our baby spent four days in the NICU, and we were left extremely traumatized. My journey began with questions: Why was our birth plan ignored? Why was I repeatedly urged to take an epidural when I didn’t want it? Why did they forcibly pin my arms and legs down to the bed? I discovered that my story is commonplace among Black birthing people.”
She continued: “I also realize that my family is lucky because my baby and I survived and I am able to tell my own story. I will continue to do this work until all Black mothers and families are safe.”
Instagram
When asked what “some of the biggest obstacles Black women” face when giving birth were, Tatyana responded: “Bias. There are still people in the medical profession who believe that Black skin is thicker and that we feel less pain than others. There are people in healthcare who believe that we don’t want the best for our children and our families. There are people in healthcare who believe that we lack the cognitive intelligence or morality to make choices for ourselves. There are people who believe we are unworthy of bodily autonomy.”
Tatyana said the American healthcare system prioritizes profit over good patient care.
“Our healthcare system prioritizes money and centralized authority over lives,” she added. “In 2016, my emergency C-section and the subsequent NICU care my son needed after the abuse we endured cost $250,000. I am a SAG-AFTRA union member with good coverage. I was covered by my husband’s insurance as well at the time. The insurance company paid the hospital right away, no questions asked.”
Tatyana shared more details during an appearance on “Pod Meets World” on Monday. She explained she remains focused on advocating for black maternal healthcare.
“Once I realized that what happened to me and to my kids, my family… Once I realized that our story, our trauma is very commonplace, I have to tell you, it was just real anger. That something so awful could be so common.”
She continued: “Once it was time for us to leave the hospital, and this is after my son had been in the NICU — he couldn’t pee on his own for a long time, for about five or six days — and it actually was a pediatric urologist who is the only one who came to my side and said: ‘I saw what happened during your birth.’ The things that resulted in this emergency C-section, she said: “I think the traumatic nature of his birth is what is causing this,’ and that was the only person in the whole hospital who mentioned what happened. There was a lot of gaslighting.”
“I mean, they pushed him back inside me,” Tatyana shared. “That’s what happened. My baby was all the way crowned… In my records, it shows that he goes from the lowest station — I saw his hair, I touched his hair — to the highest station. And it doesn’t say how that happened. It’s an incredibly dangerous thing that they did; they could have snapped his neck. This is after hours of them holding me down.”
A judge denied reality star Drew Sidora’s request to delay his eviction order. That means Drew is running out of time to move out of her $2 million Georgia mini-mansion.
The reality star lost ownership of the house to estranged husband Ralph Pittman during their ongoing divorce. A judge set a May 31 deadline for Drew to pack up and leave the house.
The judge was not moved by Drew’s statement that she faces homelessness. The average price of a home similar to Drew’s in Georgia is about $1.4 million. She can’t afford that on her “Housewives” salary. Reality TV stars are supposed to be financially independent, not house poor.

Ralph and Drew’s divorce case, which began in 2023, has yet to be finalized. Although separated, Drew and Ralph continue to live in the same house. But Ralph wants her out.
Last April, Drew asked a judge for permission to kick Ralph out on the curb. Drew told the judge that her estranged husband was a “threat” to her three children, and she feared him.
Drew and Ralph share two children, and she shares her eldest son, Jojo, with her ex, Ricky Brascom.
Ralph and Drew filed back-to-back divorce petitions in 2023 after 9 years of marriage.
Ralph is represented by celebrity attorney Precious Anderson, who also represents Sandrarose.com.

Former “Family Matters” child actor Bryton James is battling his ex-wife’s demand for spousal support. “The Young and the Restless” star finalized his divorce from Jahaira James earlier this year after nearly 7 months of marriage.
According to TMZ, Bryton cited the usual “irreconcilable differences” for the divorce. He asked that Jahaira restore her last name (Myers).
Nicky Nelson/WENN
The final divorce judgment was entered on March 24, 2026. The court ended its jurisdiction to award spousal support.
Now Jahaira is back in court asking for spousal support, citing the poor economy and financial instability as a professional dancer.
In her court filing, Jahaira described the instability of being a dancer, and that her income fluctuates month to month. She said her expenses are in excess of her monthly income.
She earns around $1,150 per week before taxes, while estimating that Bryton earns more than $34,000 per month. She argues she is entitled to maintain the same standard of living that she enjoyed as Mrs. Bryton James.
The marriage was James’s second. He was previously married to Ashley Leisinger from 2011 to 2014.

He previously dated Brytni Sarpy (pictured) from 2019-2024.
In a 2021 podcast interview, Bryton acknowledged he wasn’t sure if he would marry again.
Bryton, who played Richie Crawford on Family Matters, also said he doesn’t want to have children. “I’ve learned a lot about myself and how I feel about children. It’s something that I’ve always kind of known that I didn’t want to have children, but it wasn’t something that has been as concrete as it is now.”
Houston activist Quanell X protested a gas station after an employee recorded a 9-year-old boy relieving himself outside.
Activists and community members, led by Quanell X and Dr. Matthews, marched to the gas station and demanded to speak to the owner.
Quanell explained that a convenience store employee told the boy the restroom was out of service and told him to go outside in the back to relieve himself. The worker then recorded the child.
Quanell X said the employee showed the video to children leaving school. “Do you realize that that video is p*rnographic, that that video is se*ual in nature?” Quanell told an employee.
He urged customers to boycott the store after the video went viral. “You shouldn’t spend one go****n dollar in this store,” Quanell X told a customer.
Activists also called for the police to file charges against the worker. The boy’s family said the viral video led to bullying, causing emotional distress for the child.
Police confirmed that the incident is under investigation and police are looking into how the video of a minor was distributed.
Community members called for accountability and changes in how children are handled in public spaces.
No charges have been filed and the child’s identify has not been made public.

Prosecutors say singer David Anthony Burke, aka D4vd, sent text messages to Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s cell phone after he killed her to “cover up” the crime.
D4vd, 21, is charged with first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
Prosecutors revealed the attempted coverup in a preliminary hearing briefing on Wednesday. The briefing stated D4vd met Celeste in January 2022 when she was just 11 years old. They allegedly began a sexual relationship in November 2023 when she was 13 and he was 18.

Prosecutors allege D4vd killed Celeste to save his career after she threatened to expose their illegal relationship.
D4vd sent an Uber to pick Celeste up and drop her off at his Hollywood Hills rental house around 10 p.m. on April 23, 2025. D4vd is accused of stabbing the 14-year-old runaway multiple times and dismembering her.
Around 10:30 p.m., D4vd sent text messages to Celeste’s phone “inquiring where she was.”
Prosecutors allege he sent the text messages to her phone to cover his crimes. “The People contend this was part of [his] premeditated plan to cover up the murder, as she was already dead by this time.”
Prosecutors state that D4vd got into his car and drove around while continuously calling and texting Celeste’s phone asking where she was.
He then drove his Tesla to Santa Barbara “attempting to dispose of her property and destroy evidence” before returning to his home the following morning, prosecutors alleged.
“He sent two additional texts to the victim’s phone that day which obviously went unanswered because she was already dead.”
Prosecutors say Burke never contacted Celeste again after April 26.

The briefing stated D4vd bought two chainsaws online and used them to dismember Celeste in an inflatable pool in his garage. Blue fragments of the inflatable pool were found inside wounds on Celeste’s body.
Celeste’s badly decomposed remains were discovered in the trunk of his Tesla at a police impound lot on September 8, 2025.
D4vd was arrested on April 14 and is currently being held without bond until his trial. His preliminary hearing is set to begin on May 1. The judge ordered the L.A. County Sheriff’s Office to give D4vd a haircut before his hearing on May 1.
The judge denied the defense’s request for D4vd to wear his own clothing in the courtroom. He will appear at the hearing in a jail-issued uniform.
