Doctor accuses young ex-mistress of sending nudes to wife after affair, proposed partner swap & celeb cheating
Buckle up. Last week I was, as I admitted, dragging heading into Thursday and needed more caffeine than normal to get going. There's no such problem with that today. The sun is out and I can taste the weekend.
Plus, the problem with modern dating has been discovered. If that doesn’t excite you, nothing will. Thankfully, I haven’t been in the game for many, many years now, but it's good to finally have some answers for those still looking for "the one."
Who better to set the tone for this week's True Romance and give people the answers they've been looking for than Chelsea Handler? When a relationship expert speaks, we listen around here.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
According to the 51-year-old comedian, men are the problem. She said, "It’s very hard in today’s world to meet straight guys that have their s--- together. … Something’s wrong. I don’t know what’s wrong."
She had put on a superhero cape and attempted to help women find quality men, but says dating apps and social media ruined that. Men have so many choices that they don't have to "lock it in."
The badass ladies out there can't find anyone. Handler said of the men, "They can swipe through 50 women a day. So they’re not making the effort that people used to make to date."
How did she do it?
If she's out there trying to set women up with quality men, then she must have a success story of her own, right? What are we talking, one or two decades of a successful relationship under her belt?
That's not for Chelsea. According to her, she wouldn’t say that she's in a relationship. She's "dabbling in different areas," because she doesn't "like to be tethered to one person."
If only we can get those guys who aren't locking it in to figure it out.
Maybe one day that will happen. Until then, we have other pressing matters to get to, like the doctor who is claiming his ex-mistress sent his wife nudes and a partner swap proposal that could have other motivations behind it.
Once we get through that, we have some serious business in the form of a hypothetical poll about cheating with a married celebrity to take care of.

A "prominent gastroenterologist," as the NY Post describes him, is alleging in a lawsuit filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court that his much younger ex-mistress sent naked pictures to his wife after their affair ended.
The 57-year-old New Jersey doctor, who The Post names, but isn’t named in the lawsuit, claims that he's being relentlessly harassed by a 29-year-old woman who he had an affair with.
She was reportedly upset that he had ended the relationship and allegedly started threatening to send naked recordings of him to his family. Now, if naked recordings of him with his former mistress exist, that's a mistake you just can't make.
The lawsuit alleges that the ex-mistress did end up sending an explicit picture of the doctor to his wife while threatening to send images to his college-age sons. These intimate pictures were supposed to remain private.
She was reportedly arrested on stalking, harassment, two counts of aggravated harassment and unlawful disclosure of intimate images. She has denied those claims and pleaded not guilty.
In addition to all of that, she also, according to the suit, dragged the affair onto LinkedIn and damaged the doctor's career.
The affair went south when the mistress found out she was in a relationship with a married man. He ended up filing for divorce, but the proceedings were halted a few months later.
The former mistress claims she was showered with gifts and even provided with a furnished apartment during their relationship. But this wasn’t a sugar baby situation. She thought he might be the one.
The court system will have to sort out the mess here, but there are some tough lessons to be learned from following your heart down a path that leaves you in a spot where nudes are allegedly flying around.
You could say don't cheat, but that's easier said than done for some. The easier step to take would be to not let your mistress take pictures of you at all, especially not without any clothes on.

I hear terms thrown around like "partner swap" and think to myself, how does that work and what could possibly go wrong? On paper, they look like a disaster waiting to happen.
But it has to work out for a few people out there, right? You would think a couple who are swingers and get down with neighbors, old friends and strangers would be able to handle it.
The girlfriend isn’t so sure. Right out of the gate she feels like she's coming out on the short end of the proposed partner swap. Her boyfriend wants to "shake things up" for the summer.
The swinging with the neighbors, old friends and strangers isn’t cutting it. He thinks they've become set in their ways and complacent. You can't have that. He's come up with a solution to their predicament.
"He wants to go and live with a like-minded neighbor for three months, while her husband comes here," she told the Daily Star. "He says we can still meet up for group sex whenever we fancy but thinks it will be thrilling to wake up next to someone new for a while."
That would shake things up, but is there something else going on here? She isn’t into the other guy. He's annoying and goes at it "like a pneumatic drill." His wife says he "can go five times a night."
She's not thrilled about the prospects of that, and she's a little worried. Her boyfriend and the pneumatic drill's wife are into each other. She says they have "an undeniable spark and attraction."
Again, what could possibly go wrong? So your boyfriend wants to live with someone else for a few months. So there's a spark and attraction between them. This isn’t a test run on life with this other woman.
It's nothing more than a loving couple shaking things up for summer. It could be fun. Who knows, maybe the girlfriend and the pneumatic drill end up finding something special.
Let's take a dive into the deep end of delusion for a minute. Your celebrity crush wants you to jump into bed with them, but they're married.
The good news is that nobody is ever going to find out. Are you, assuming your celebrity crush is still alive, taking them up on the offer?
Here's what some people on Reddit who allowed themselves to live in fantasy land for a minute had to say:

Bessent credits Dem senator with putting 'country before political ideology' in Fed chair confirmation vote
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated that Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., prioritized the nation over partisanship on Wednesday by joining with Senate Republicans in voting to confirm President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh to serve as Federal Reserve System Board of Governors chair.
Aside from Fetterman, the 54-45 vote was strictly along party lines, with Republicans voting for confirmation and Democrats voting against it.
"Today @SenateGOP, along with the Democrat who put country before political ideology, confirmed @POTUS's nominee Kevin Warsh as the next Chairman of the @FederalReserve," Bessent declared in a Wednesday post on X.
SENATE CONFIRMS KEVIN WARSH AS FED CHAIR AS TRUMP'S ECONOMIC VISION COMES INTO FOCUS
"Chairman Warsh will usher in a new day at an institution that is in need of accountability, sound policy guidance, and the renewed sense of purpose to help guide our economy. His chairmanship opens the door and lays the groundwork for every American family to build and grow in the world's greatest economy," Bessent added.
Fetterman said in a statement issued on Wednesday, "I've met Kevin Warsh and believe he will be transparent and responsive to Congress and the public. His promise to maintain Fed independence in setting interest rates is crucial and I look forward to working with him."
"I also maintain we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Chair Powell. Through multiple administrations and a global pandemic, our economy has been the envy of the world under his steady hand. He never broke the law, has done a remarkable job, and I’m profoundly grateful for his service as Chair. I encourage him to stay on the Fed Board as long as he wants," Fetterman added.
FETTERMAN CALLS OUT 'ABSOLUTE SOCIALIST' SEATTLE MAYOR AND 'AVOWED COMMUNIST' GRAHAM PLATNER
During his first presidential administration, Trump nominated Powell for the chairmanship. Then, President Joe Biden, during his White House tenure, tapped Powell to remain in the role for a second term.
Trump more recently has been a vociferous Powell critic.
"After my term as Chair ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined. I plan to keep a low profile as a governor. There is only ever one Chair of the Federal Reserve Board. When Kevin Warsh is confirmed and sworn in, he will be that Chair," Powell said last month.
POWELL WILL REMAIN AT THE FED FOR NOW, SETTING UP POTENTIAL CLASH WITH TRUMP
The Federal Reserve website notes that "Mr. Powell has served as a member of the Board of Governors since taking office on May 25, 2012, to fill an unexpired term. He was reappointed to the Board and sworn in on June 16, 2014, for a term ending January 31, 2028."
Super Bowl champion Michael Irvin defends Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini, tells critics to look in the mirror
Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin has a message for those criticizing New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former reporter for The Athletic Dianna Russini.
Irvin, 60, said that people need to look in the mirror and their own issues before going off on others.
"We all want to jump in personal lives," Irvin said during a recent appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show."

"Dude, if I just get a peek at your history, I’m sure it’ll tell me something. We all forget that we have done s--- when we’re talking about somebody else, and then we want to castrate and kill them."
The Dallas Cowboys legend said that people don’t know what they are dealing with, yet they are teeing off on Vrabel and Russini.
"Life happens," Irvin said. "We’re trying to use people in football to be the measuring stick for all the righteousness. And then we act like, ‘I can’t believe this person did this.’ It’s a person, and people do things. Sometimes it’s not right, but we’re not in their homes."

"We don’t know what they’re dealing with. And we wanna sit here and say, ‘Man, they shouldn’t do this.’ You don’t know what they’re dealing with. Get out of it. Leave it alone. It’s not your business."
Vrabel married his wife, Jen, in 1999, and they have two sons together. Russini married her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, in 2020, and they share two kids together.
The pair was seen holding hands and hugging at a luxury hotel in Arizona in March, and photos of their interaction were first released in April. After the initial report, Vrabel said the photos show a "completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable."
"The photos don’t represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day," Russini said.
More photos have leaked of the pair being seen together.
Russini has since resigned from The Athletic. Vrabel stepped away from the team during the final round of the NFL Draft indefinitely to seek counseling and be with his family.

OIlers axe head coach Kris Knoblauch in first move to show Connor McDavid they know business
We all got the sense it was coming, but it still seems shocking that after two straight Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2024 and 2025, the Edmonton Oilers have told head coach Kris Knoblauch his services are no longer needed.
Of course, this was kind of obvious amid reports that the Vegas Golden Knights were blocking the Oilers from talking to head coach Bruce Cassidy.
However, while it's another move that underscores how short the leash NHL coaches have these days, it was necessary to show Oilers superstar Connor McDavid that the front office means business.
McDavid will start a new two-year "show me" deal in Edmonton, and they'll realistically only have a year to prove to him that their Cup-winning window hasn't slammed shut.
Step one was making an aggressive coaching decision.
Knoblauch goes way back with McDavid and was his head coach in juniors. When he joined the team partway through the 2023-24 season, he turned them around and led them to a Cup Final loss to the Florida Panthers.
The next season ended in another loss to Florida, while this season ended with a first-round loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
In years past, a coach like Knoblauch would've built up enough goodwill to at least get one more year to prove that he can get the team back to the Cup Final and win it all. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore, and teams are getting more aggressive with coaching decisions.
Of course, this can't be the only thing that happens this summer because coaching was far from the Oilers' biggest problem.
I'd say the biggest is what it has been through the entire McDavid era: depth.
ALL-TIME TALENT, ZERO TITLES: THE MOST UNDERACHIEVING FRANCHISES IN NORTH AMERICAN SPORTS
Sure, McDavid and Leon Draisaitl put up mega numbers upfront, while blueliner Evan Bouchard does the same on the backend.
But the drop-off after those three is wild.
Just this season, McDavid had 138 points (a league high), Draisaitl had 97, and Bouchard had 95.
The next highest on the team? Ryan Nugent Hopkins with 57.
They needed to spread out the scoring because, as great as it is to have Connor McDavid lighting things up, he's only on the ice for 22 minutes a game. Others need to step up in the other 38.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
But you can get away with this if the goalies are playing lights out... but they are not.
This season, their top netminder is Connor Ingraham with a .899 save percentage and a 2.60 GAA.
So, while getting rid of Knoblauch and potentially bringing in a Bruce Cassidy or a Craig Berube may be a shock to the system for the team, they need to make some moves this summer.
And, you can bet that No. 97 will be keeping an eye on it.
‘Intense standoff’ erupts between Secret Service, Chinese officials during Trump-Xi event: report
Chinese security officials allegedly blocked an armed U.S. Secret Service agent from entering an event on Thursday during President Donald Trump's visit to the country, according to media members on the ground.
A Secret Service agent was reportedly blocked from entering Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Beijing’s Temple of Heaven with their weapon on Thursday, according to reporters. The incident triggered an alleged "intense standoff" that delayed entry to the venue for over a half-hour due to heated discussions.
"We’ve seen several intense confrontations since being here," wrote a Telegraph correspondent on X of the situation.
TRUMP GETS RED-CARPET WELCOME IN CHINA, BUT PAST BEIJING TRIP SHOWS PAGEANTRY ONLY GOES SO FAR
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the matter.
Trump and Xi met Thursday in Beijing as part of a two-day state visit, with the White House saying the leaders discussed Iran, energy security, fentanyl controls and market access.
CHINA ROLLS OUT RED CARPET FOR TRUMP AS XI MEETING TESTS TRADE, TAIWAN TENSIONS
Other videos posted by reporters on social media show the press having difficulties navigating following Trump during the meetings and events.
"Several times the Chinese tried to stop US reporters and staff from leaving their positions and joining the motorcade," the Telegraph correspondent said on X.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Secret Service for comment on Thursday.
This is not the first time tensions have flared between the Secret Service and Chinese security officials.
During Trump’s 2017 visit, commotion was caused over the nuclear football, a briefcase that holds the tools for the president to order a nuclear strike, Axios first reported at the time.
Reports at the time said that when the U.S. military aide carrying the briefcase entered the Great Hall, Chinese security officials blocked his entry. The then-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly was notified and rushed over to escort the aide.
"We’re moving in," Kelly said, according to Axios. A Chinese security official then grabbed Kelly, before a U.S. Secret Service agent grabbed that Chinese security official, and allegedly tackled him to the ground.
The U.S. Secret Service later denied the reports of "tackling" issuing a statement on X.
FORMER SECRET SERVICE OFFICIALS WARN OF LOW-TECH THREATS FACING TRUMP AFTER LATEST MAR-A-LAGO BREACH
"FACT CHECK: Reports about Secret Service agents tackling a host nation official during the President’s trip to China in Nov 2017 are false," the agency wrote.
A source told Fox News at the time there was a bit of shoving during the incident, which then de-escalated and reiterated that the "football" was never touched.
Suspect in custody for alleged murder of college student after police released eerie surveillance photos
A man suspected in the Sunday night murder of a University of Washington student turned himself in to police on Wednesday night.
The move came after the Seattle Police Department (SPD) on Wednesday afternoon released photos of a suspect in the murder of a University of Washington student, and solicited the public's help in tracking him down.
"On May 13, Seattle police detectives arrested a 31-year-old man in connection to a homicide that occurred May 10 in a University of Washington campus housing building. Officers found the 19-year-old victim deceased with stab wounds," SPD said in an early Thursday morning statement.
SEATTLE ROBBER BITES OFF 88-YEAR-OLD WOMAN'S FINGER DURING VIOLENT ROBBERY, POLICE SAY
The suspect is a former student at the University of Washington who attended the school from 2015 to 2021, an SPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Police said the suspect, who remains unnamed, turned himself in to the Bellevue Police Department and was transferred to the custody of Seattle homicide detectives.
Authorities were hunting for three days for the suspect after a gruesome late-night stabbing murder on Sunday in a laundry room in the Nordheim Court apartments. Those apartments are privately managed and located off campus, but are listed on the University of Washington's website as an option for undergraduate housing.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned Black male who is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and has a thin build. In the photos, he sports thin wire-framed glasses, a scruffy goatee and navy blue pullover sweatshirt paired with blue jeans.
In one eerie photo, the suspect can be seen looking over his right shoulder directly into what appears to be a surveillance camera.
SURVEILLANCE CAM SHOWS BRUTAL ATTACK OF 77-YEAR-OLD-MAN
University of Washington Police responded to the scene, where they, along with the Seattle Fire Department, attempted life-saving measures to no avail.
The victim, who is reportedly transgender, has not been named.
"I want to express my deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and loved ones of the UW student who was killed late last night," University of Washington President Robert Jones told the school's newspaper The Daily. "There are no words that can express the profound loss of a student. While investigators have not yet identified a suspect or a motive, I want to recognize that when violence affects a trans person it can be especially worrying to our LGBTQIA+ community members."
Fox News Digital reached out to SPD.
Kid Rock fires back at media trolls over helicopter ride, warning his military mission is far from over
Musician Kid Rock responded to criticism of his recent flights with the U.S. military, saying his commitment to the U.S. Armed Forces is about boosting morale, not personal perks.
Rock, whose full name is Robert Ritchie, joined the "Will Cain Country" podcast to discuss the "noise" regarding his recent flights with the U.S. military and share the origin of his decades-long journey to support service members.
"It really started with the bombing of the USS Cole," Rock said. "They were playing my music when that ship got towed out of the harbor and 17 sailors lost their lives. So, we ended up playing a show in Virginia and giving all that money to those families."
The USS Cole was attacked by al Qaeda suicide bombers in 2000. Rock said his patriotism took a new form after meeting those sailors.
KID ROCK, HEGSETH DIVIDE FANS AFTER CRITICS QUESTION PATRIOTIC HELICOPTER RIDE
"That really started just a whole 'nother level of not just patriotism, but really doing my part to try and help out and go wherever the military called," he said.
Rock described his work supporting troops as some of the "toughest work" he’s ever done, but also the "most rewarding."
Last month, the artist faced criticism after he joined Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for a helicopter flight in Washington, D.C. The flight came after the U.S. Army investigated an unplanned flyover at Rock’s Nashville home in March.
KID ROCK, HEGSETH TAKE APACHE HELICOPTER RIDE NEAR WASHINGTON
While some media outlets and social media users questioned whether taxpayer dollars were being used for celebrity flights, Rock dismissed the criticism as "just noise," noting he has visited bases and flown in military aircraft for over 20 years.
"You do stuff for the military, and they want to showcase to you what they do. So, whether they're showing you their technology or letting you shoot a gun or participate in something, you know, that's kind of what you do," he said.
"I don't need to sit here and prove what I've done."
Rock said the purpose of his recent trip with Hegseth was to film content for Memorial Day and the America 250 celebration. He also used the opportunity to announce that his "Freedom 250" tour will give away 250 free tickets per show to veterans and their families.
In a post on X, Secretary Hegseth defended the partnership, calling Rock a "patriot" and a "huge supporter of our troops."
Fox News ‘Antisemitism Exposed’ Newsletter: Brooklyn Jews feel the hate
Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings you stories on the rising anti-Jewish prejudice across the U.S. and the world.
IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER:
- Clashes erupt outside Brooklyn synagogue as anti-Israel mob wreaks havoc
- Hamas used sexual violence 'deliberately and systematically' on Oct 7, report finds
- Fetterman understands why top state justice split from Democratic Party
TOP STORY: Violent chaos erupted in Brooklyn as anti-Israel protesters swarmed a synagogue this week, blocking access to a real estate event and sparking physical brawls with Jewish supporters. The visceral footage captures a neighborhood under siege, showcasing a breakdown of civility and a desperate police response. This confrontation highlights the escalating domestic tensions and the growing threat to religious freedom in New York City.
VIDEO: Thousands gathered in London to march against antisemitism in the United Kingdom earlier this week. WATCH HERE:
CALCULATED BRUTALITY: A landmark commission report reveals that Hamas' use of sexual violence on October 7 was no accident—it was a systematic, deliberate weapon of war. Detailing gang rape, mutilation, and torture, the 300-page "Silenced No More" study exposes these atrocities as calculated tools of terror. This wasn't just chaos; it was a coordinated assault on human dignity and Israeli society.
BIG JOHN GETS IT: Sen. John Fetterman has broken ranks to back Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, who recently ditched the Democratic Party over "rising antisemitism." While Fetterman remains a Democrat, he validated Wecht’s exit, demanding his party confront internal "Jew-hatred." This high-profile split highlights a growing civil war as Fetterman rejects far-left rhetoric, branding the trend a "rot" within the ranks.
WRIST SLAP: Loay Alnaji, the California professor charged in the death of pro-Israel protester Paul Kessler, will likely avoid serious prison time. Charged with involuntary manslaughter instead of murder, Loay Alnaji faces a maximum of four years—with a plea deal potentially lowering that further. This "sweetheart deal" has ignited outrage, fueling claims that justice is being sidelined by political sensitivities.
MAMDANI TAKES SIDES: NYC Councilwoman Julie Menin has torched Mayor Zohran Mamdani, branding him "not a leader" after a wave of antisemitic graffiti hit Queens synagogues. Critics are fuming over Mamdani’s past support for anti-Israel protesters, accusing him of fueling the very hatred he now condemns. As tensions boil, the lawmaker’s sharp rebuke highlights a deepening rift over New York’s antisemitism crisis.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Dana W. White and Shahar Azani argue that the historic Black-Jewish alliance is being dismantled by radical progressives and "The Squad." The authors claim that rhetoric labeling Jewish advocacy as "anti-Black" ignores a century of shared civil rights struggle, replaces solidarity with identity politics, and fuels a dangerous rise in modern antisemitism.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party." - Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, announcing he is leaving the Democratic Party.

Scuba enthusiast Nathan MacKinnon atones for missed Olympics shot with identical goal to help Avs advance
Hockey, much like football, is a game of inches.
And no one knows that better than Colorado Avalanche superstar (and amateur scuba enthusiast) Nathan MacKinnon.
Less than three months ago, MacKinnon had a golden opportunity (literally) presented to him in Canada's gold-medal game against the United States against the United States.
Sitting just to the left of the net with American goaltender Connor Hellebuyck still hugging the opposite post, MacKinnon sailed a wrist shot just wide of the pipes.
TEAM USA MEN'S HOCKEY WINS GOLD MEDAL IN OVERTIME AGAINST CANADA AT WINTER OLYMPICS
The Americans would rally in overtime, with defenseman Jack Hughes slotting home the golden goal and sending MacKinnon and the Canadians home with a consolation prize of silver and a stuffed animal for their troubles.
Fast forward to Wednesday night, with time winding down in the Avalanche's Game 5 tilt with the Minnesota Wild, and Colorado needing a goal to tie it. MacKinnon was presented with the exact same opportunity from a similar spot on the ice.
And you had better believe he didn't miss twice.
For context, look at how identical both scoring opportunities look. You could even make the argument this one was more difficult given Minnesota netminder Jesper Wallstedt's perfect positioning.
The goal from MacKinnon would send the game to overtime, where the Avs would wear down the depleted Wild roster en route to a win and a gentlemen's sweep.
It's on to the Western Conference Finals for the Avalanche, where they will await the winners of the Anaheim Ducks-Vegas Golden Knights series.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Colorado should absolutely be seen as the favorites to not only come out of the West, but to win the whole thing, given their mix of Cup experience and firepower.
When you couple that with the fact that MacKinnon looks like he's on a warpath to win another Stanley Cup and atone for his miss in the Olympics, the Avs feel like a team of destiny.
If it's the Golden Knights who end up prevailing and facing Colorado in the Conference Finals, that might be the series of the entire playoffs, given Vegas has its own share of superstar talent and Stanley Cup history.
Either way, good luck to any team that has the unenviable task of slowing down Nathan "Nate Dogg" MacKinnon.
