Influencer finds NFL legend Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson's cockroach-infested abandoned storage unit

Daily Mail​8 hours ago
A storage unit belonging to Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson has been purchased by an online influencer, who has now revealed a treasure trove of valuables, as well as a few cockroaches.
Known online as Prieto Hunters, the TikTok and YouTube star is one of a growing number of media personalities buying abandoned storage units, typically for a few hundred dollars.
The host claims to have bid $890 to secure this unit, and while the price hasn't been confirmed, Johnson has acknowledged its contents did previously belong to him.
Responding to a post about the storage unit discovery, Johnson wrote on X: 'I don't want all that old a** s***.'
The storage unit's location isn't revealed, but the former Cincinnati Bengals receiver and popular podcaster has been living in southern California. And that could explain the condition of the storage unit, which appeared sweltering judging by the sweaty host and flock of cockroaches rummaging around.
Pests aside, the unit contained one four-figure item after another, from a reversable mink vest roughly estimated to be worth $5,000, to autographed memorabilia, including a jersey from Johnson's late teammate, Chris Henry.
The host was particularly impressed with Johnson's shoe collection, which included several pricey Yves Saint Laurent pairs, as well as a few less-desirable items.
'Tommy Hilfiger,' the host said as he pulled out one unwanted pair. 'No thank you.'
One yellow pair of soccer cleats appeared to be signed by Brazilian legend Ronaldinho.
'You think that's Ronaldinho?' the host asked his cameraperson. 'We're gonna have to preserve these.'
Perhaps the strangest item in the collection was a painting of nude women tongue kissing while one groped the other's chest.
'Interesting painting,' the host commented.
Some of the items may have be valueless, like a framed photo of Johnson riding a bull.
Other memorabilia, such as autographed helmets and jerseys, could be difficult to price until everything is authenticated.
And then there were all the designer clothing and collectible guitars, all of which is likely worth thousands each.
'We might come up in the unit,' the influencer told his cameraperson.

Denise Richards seen without wedding ring as she steps out in LA after ex Aaron Phypers accused her of affair

Denise Richards was pictured for the first time since her estranged husband Aaron Phypers accused her of having an affair amid their ugly divorce. The 54-year-old actress brushed off the drama as she enjoyed lunch at Cross Creek in Malibu with her daughters Sami, 21, and Eloise, 13, but was notably missing her wedding ring. She even shared a lighthearted moment, snapping a photo of Sami and her dog on her phone. The Wild Things star — who returned to social media with heartbreaking message on Sunday — opted for a casual look, wearing a navy tank top tucked into light blue jeans. Richards completed the outfit with a wide-brim straw hat atop her head as well as a pair of sunglasses. Sami sported a white tank top with a pair of low-rise blue jeans. Meanwhile Eloise rocked a pair of black overalls over a grey t-shirt. It comes after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum's ex claimed he caught Denise cheating on him, leading to the fight that prompted him to file for divorce. Phypers, 52, filed for divorce from Richards earlier this month after six years of marriage, listing July 4 as the official date of separation. Phypers — whom Richards has accused of physical abuse — alleged he discovered that Denise had cheated on him earlier this year in an interview with TMZ. The businessman claimed he found texts between Richards and another man on her laptop, including several selfies and affectionate messages like her wishing him 'sweet dreams.' He also claimed other messages suggested Richards and the other man were planning a hotel rendezvous, with her trying to sneak him into her room. Phypers claimed he confronted Richards about the alleged affair, and they decided to remain together. But a major July 4th weekend dispute ultimately prompted him to file for divorce. Richards has claimed the altercation started when Phypers verbally abused her and demanded his phone. Phypers said his phone was missing for over a day, and when he asked Richards about it, she allegedly hit and scratched him. He later found the phone smashed in the recycling bin. He believes Richards smashed his phone because it had photos of the texts proving she had the alleged affair. It comes after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum's ex claimed he caught Denise cheating on him, leading to the fight that prompted him to file for divorce He claimed Richards texted his mother that weekend, stating her intention to divorce him, which prompted him to file for divorce first. Phypers filed for divorce July 7, citing irreconcilable differences. While Richards has yet to formally respond in court to Phypers' petition, which seeks spousal support, she has made serious allegations of abuse against him. On Wednesday, the former actress asked a Los Angeles judge for a restraining order – claiming her estranged spouse had routinely been violent towards her during their marriage and had blacked her eye after becoming paranoid about listening devices concealed in potted plants. Phypers has denied the claims, and says the black eye seen on Richards in a shocking photo included in her latest explosive court filing was actually the result of a drunken fall. A judge granted a domestic violence restraining order against Phypers. Phypers claims she sought the domestic violence restraining order to deflect attention from her alleged affair. He reiterated that he did not physically abuse Richards, stating, 'I did not hit my wife in the face, ever.' He also claimed Richards 'falls down a lot. And it's embarrassing, and people know it', after previously claiming the black eye was the result of a drunken fall. The pair's marriage was plagued by other issues as well. Phypers shared photos from inside their shared home, showing the residence in disarray and littered with numerous items. He claims that he and his family were burdened with the responsibility of caring for Richards' properties and animals. A source close to Phypers recently insisted to that he has never raised a hand to Richards, and dismissed the allegations as lies. The insider said: 'This is consistent with the ongoing untruthfulness of Denise Richards who is trying to hide her alcohol problem.' Referring to a photo of her with a black eye which she submitted as evidence in her petition for the restraining order, the insider said: 'That photo was taken in winter 2022 and the fact is, she was drunk at the time and fell coming up the steps to Aaron's clinic Q360.' 'She fell and caught the corner of her eye on the stairs and then came up to the office where they treated her and put ice on it.' 'There were lots of people in the office at the time, all of whom saw what happened. Aaron has never touched her and never would.' Richards has previously spoken about her addiction battle and, in 2023, sparked concern when she appeared to slur her words during an episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Phypers also issued his own statement denouncing his estranged wife's recent allegations, saying: 'I want to address recent rumors and speculation that have surfaced regarding my relationship with my wife, Denise Richards. 'Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise - or anyone. These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful.' 'Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue.' 'I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.' The divorce battle began two weeks ago when Phypers filed to end his marriage – blindsiding Richards who had said publicly that she never wanted to go through a divorce again. Along with the filing, he asked for spousal support totaling $105,000-a-month and said his income was 'zero' following the closure of his clinic last October. As a result, he relies on his wife's income which he claimed in court was $250,000-a-month, most of it earned via OnlyFans and her now canceled reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. Richards admitted to facing challenges in her marriage earlier this year during an episode of her reality show Denise Richards and Her Wild Things. The mom-of-three said in a March episode of the E! reality show: 'It's not easy being married to me, but this is it, I'm done. 'I'm never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna f****** get divorced.' For his part, Phypers chimed in that they might even live in separate houses, but insisted, 'We're not gonna hate each other.' Richards was previously married to wild child actor Charlie Sheen who she divorced in April 2006 while pregnant with their second child Sami. Along with divorce papers, she also slapped Sheen, 59, with a restraining order banning him from coming any closer than 300ft from his ex-wife and daughters. In 2010, she was awarded sole legal custody of their children with sources citing 'marital turmoil, sobriety issues, and criminal problems' for the decision. The latter refers to Sheen's arrest on Christmas Day 2009 for assaulting his third wife Brooke Mueller in an Aspen, Colorado, property during a festive break. Sheen was later convicted of misdemeanor assault and slapped with 30 days in rehab, 30 days of probation, and 36 hours of anger management. Richards moved on with her life and adopted a third daughter Eloise in June 2011 and started dating Phypers in December 2017 before marrying him less than a year later in September 2018. The marriage got off to a rocky start when it was revealed the pair had begun dating before Phypers' divorce from Desperate Housewives actress Nicolette Sheridan was finalized. Phypers later adopted Richards' daughter Eloise.

Braless Lena Dunham embraces Natalie Portman while filming new Netflix rom-com

Lena Dunham excitedly embraced Natalie Portman, whom she teamed up with to co-produce her new Netflix rom-com Good Sex, in Manhattan's East Village on Monday. The 39-year-old writer-director bared her tattooed sleeves in a $148 GapStudio 'Draped Denim Slip' maxi-dress, matching blue neckerchief, and black Nike sneakers. Lena - who boasts 3M Instagram followers - shared a snap of her fit on Monday captioned: 'Really enjoying dressing for set and beyond this summer.' And the 44-year-old Oscar winner looked comfy in a beige T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and white Keds 'Champion Canvas Lace-Up' sneakers. Natalie (born Neta-Lee Hershlag) hauled a tote emblazoned with The New Yorker and she wore dark sunglasses over her make-up free complexion. Portman later got into costume as her newly-single character, successful couples therapist Ally, who's caught in a love triangle very similar to Celine Song's recent rom-com Materialists. The former child star slipped her slim 5ft3in figure into a $2,048 Prada 'Pleated Sablé' shirt, black mini-skirt, $1,115 Jacquemus 'The Calino' ring handbag, and patent leather long-tongue loafers. Natalie - clutching a to-go cup from Café Chrystie - also wore cat-eye sunglasses and $320 Jacquemus 'The Rond Carré' earrings as part of her costume. Portman's younger onscreen leading man - a Brooklyn hipster - will be played by Gen-Z singer Role Model (born Tucker Pillsbury) who, at 28, is 16 years her junior. The Israeli-born, Long Island-raised stunner's older onscreen leading man - successful Manhattanite Alan - will be played by Mark Ruffalo who, at 57, is 13 years her senior. The four-time Oscar nominee could be seen walking and talking with Dunham as they headed to the set. 'We are about a quarter through our shoot,' the eight-time Emmy nominee told THR last week. 'And as expected, no spoilers here — Natalie Portman is a very, very good actress. It's playing with the romantic comedy form to try to say something about our expectations about relationships, about love and about sex. I think my favorite romantic comedies — whether it's When Harry Met Sally, or Four Weddings and a Funeral, or Love and Basketball — I mean, these are movies that challenge our perceptions about what love is in the era that we live in. 'So that was the goal here, and it's just a joy to be with Natalie, Rashida Jones, Mark Ruffalo, Meg Ryan, and Tucker Pillsbury a.k.a. Role Model. They're all such interesting performers who are bringing such specificity to these parts, and I'm really enjoying my time in the trenches of this genre.' Indeed, Lena successfully courted rom-com queen Meg Ryan to play a mystery role in Good Sex after running into her at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in London last August. The 44-year-old Oscar winner looked comfy in a beige T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and white Keds 'Champion Canvas Lace-Up' sneakers Natalie (born Neta-Lee Hershlag) hauled a tote emblazoned with The New Yorker and she wore dark sunglasses over her make-up free complexion The former child star slipped her slim 5ft3in figure into a $2,048 Prada 'Pleated Sablé' shirt, black mini-skirt, $1,115 Jacquemus 'The Calino' ring handbag, and patent leather long-tongue loafers 'I decided, it's now or never, and I'm going to shoot my shot. She couldn't be a lovelier person,' Dunham revealed to Variety earlier this month. 'Shout-out Taylor — thank you for that. She brings everyone together; she makes the world go round.' As for the music, the Nora Ephron protégée enlisted her British-Peruvian husband of four years, Luis Felber, to compose the score just like he did with her previous projects Too Much and Sharp Stick. Back in January, Netflix won the bidding war in order to procure Good Sex for an eye-popping $55M. 'I really just want people to sit on a couch with their moms and their besties and lean in,' Lena told Variety. 'I love watching other filmmakers fight for the theatrical-release element — but I don't think this will live or die by that.' HarperCollins will publish Dunham's second memoir Famesick on September 1. Lena successfully courted rom-com queen Meg Ryan (R) to play a mystery role in Good Sex after running into her at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in London last August Darren Aronofsky's 2010 psychological thriller Black Swan - which earned Natalie her Academy Award - is returning to over 200 IMAX theaters on August 21 and 24 in honor of the 15th anniversary. Portman famously fell for her ex-husband - choreographer/dancer Benjamin Millepied - on the set of Black Swan in 2009 while he was still dating Isabella Boylston. Last year, the Fountain of Youth action star divorced the 48-year-old Frenchman following 11 years of marriage amid cheating allegations, and they're co-parents of son Aleph, 14; and daughter Amalia, 8.
