A brawl erupted on a Carnival cruise. Now those involved are banned for life.
Several Carnival Cruise passengers have been banned for life after a brawl on a recent sailing.
Video shared by TikTok user @hellokittyyx shows multiple guests involved in the fight, with security and crew trying to break it up. At least two chairs appear to have been thrown in the video dated June 7.
A spokesperson confirmed the incident happened on the Carnival Sunrise and told USA TODAY, "Those involved will not sail on Carnival Cruise Line again."
In April, 24 Carnival passengers were banned after getting into a fight while disembarking the Carnival Jubilee. Other Carnival guests have been banned for fights on other ships in recent years.
Carnival has a "zero-tolerance" policy toward disruptive behavior.
"The safety and security of our guests, team members, the destinations we visit and the waters in which we travel are embedded in our company's values and guides our operation," according to Carnival's website. "Cruise ships are a shared space, and all guests are expected to treat others with respect."
Guests are reminded about these safety and security policies when they travel with Carnival.

‘I Legit Have Nightmares:' Customer Buys Chevy Suburban From Dealership. Then She Runs Into This Issue 3 Weeks Later
A mom shared scary footage of her Chevy Suburban's brakes allegedly failing while she was on the road, just three weeks after buying it. Tiffany Maillet (@upholsterygirl239) uploaded the viral clip on TikTok, where it accrued over 5.9 million views. In it, her evident panic was captured in the moment, along with how she worked with an officer to get her car to stop. The mother of five writes in a text overlay that's visible from the onset of her video, 'Just got a Chevy Suburban from the Chevy Dealership and experienced something out of my nightmares. I'm a mom of 5 kids and I HAVE to have my car. I just paid for summer camp for Monday. Today is my son's birthday. This is so awful.' Her TikTok shows dashcam footage recorded while she's on the road. Next, she suddenly makes an exclamation that would make any driver's heart sink and stomach churn: 'My, my, my car's not braking! My car's not braking!' The vehicle in front of her appears to come to a stop, its red brake lights engaged. Suburban Brake Failure On the TikToker's dashcam, she can be seen lurching ahead, nearing the stopped vehicle. On the opposite side of the road, a white SUV with flashing emergency lights is parked. The car on the road in front of her slowly moves up, creating enough room for her to veer into the far left lane. It's separated by a concrete curb divider, which the TikToker careens toward as she honks her horn several times. 'It's not braking!' she says with a cracked, fearful voice. Following this, she drives up on the curb, stopping right beside the white SUV, which has the word 'Sheriff' written on the side. Once she's adjacent to the police officer's vehicle, she shouts out to the officer. 'My car won't brake! I'm pushing so hard on the pedal!' she says. Quickly, the law enforcement official informs her to 'put on the emergency brake.' She hesitates and then quickly asks, 'Where's the emergency brake?' He repeats again, 'emergency brake.' She states, 'I'm pushing so hard on my brake!' and as she does so, a radio can be heard going off in the background of the clip. Emergency Brake Engaged Next, it seems she's managed to locate the emergency braking mechanism while the officer exits his vehicle to assist her. 'This thing?' she asks, sniffling. 'Yes, push that down,' he says. The mom then tearfully says to her husband on the phone, 'I'm next to the cop right now,' before explaining what happened to her vehicle. 'I was stopped back at that stop sign, and ... I was holding the brake down, and it kind of felt like it crunched for a second.' The officer replies, 'Yeah.' She continues, 'And it just started sliding and it wouldn't stop going, and I'm like holding it down as hard as I could.' Then, she addresses her husband on the phone, 'Can you call your mom because she's behind me and I want her to know. All right, bye.' At the end of her video, she tells the officer that she just recently purchased the car 'three weeks ago.' What Should You Do If Your Brakes Fail? Ideally, no driver would ever have to deal with brake failure. However, there are methods folks can adhere to in order to safely bring their car to a stop in the event their brakes give out. First, commuters should attempt to pump their brakes in case they've locked up. In some cases, repeatedly engaging the brakes can 'unlock' them, bringing vehicles to a stop. If that doesn't work, defensive driving school iDriveSafely recommends immediately putting on one's hazard lights. This will alert others on the road to steer clear of your car. Following this, place your vehicle into a lower gear. Doing so will 'slow down your car.' Conversely, the outlet cautions against immediately placing the car in neutral. That's because it 'will take away the engine braking effect.' Consequently, one's car won't start to decelerate. Furthermore, instantly shutting off one's car will also disable power steering, making it harder to control. Once your car is slowing down, slowly guide it to an area away from regular traffic flow. This can be a shoulder, outlet, or slightly raised curve, or even on the outskirts of the left or right-most lane. Next, iDriveSafely recommends engaging the emergency brake. Often, this brake's engagement system is in the form of a lever located near the car's center console. Many vehicles place it in the form of a small pedal left of the standard brake, so be cognizant of where it is and how to activate your e-brake. Chevy Dealership Admits Fault Following her harrowing road incident, Maillet posted other videos pertaining to her experience. In this particular TikTok commenting on the situation, she shared the outcome of her correspondence with the dealership. According to her, the reason she wasn't able to stop was due to aftermarket brakes. Additionally, she says a service tech informed the sales team that the brakes would need to be swapped out prior to the sale for safety reasons. However, she says the sales manager didn't want to eat the cost of a brake swap. Ultimately, Maillet added that upon escalating the issue, the dealership admitted fault. At the end of her clip, Maillet speculated just how much more dangerous a situation she could've found herself in. 'I MEAN I COULD HAVE BEEN GOING 80 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY FAMILY WAS AT RISK. complete negligence,' she writes in a text overlay. More on Dealerships 'This Is Why No One Wants to Work at Dealerships:' Mechanic Works on Audi With Nail in Tire. Then He Turns on the Computer Dealership Worker Is Oh-So-Close To Closing Car Sale. Then a Receptionist Ruins It In 1 Minute What Maillet found even more troubling was the fact that her five children were with her when she bought the car, meaning the sales team had no qualms with putting all of them in a vehicle that had potentially faulty brakes. 'I legit went to the dealership with my 5 kids and he still thought it was a good idea to stick me in the Suburban absolute shame on @chevrolet,' she writes in the caption. When Dealerships Give You a Dud Unfortunately, used car sales isn't exactly known to be the most scrupulous of vocations. But just because a car is previously owned doesn't mean buyers aren't legally protected by what Lemon Car Law refers to as 'implied warranties.' This effectively means 'the dealer guarantees the vehicle will function as it is supposed to,' the outlet states. However, there is some nomenclature to consider. If you purchase a vehicle 'as is' from a dealer, then you are assuming all liability for any repairs to the vehicle. This doesn't seem to be the case with Maillet's purchase, as she explained the Chevy dealership took responsibility for not swapping the brakes. But not everyone is so fortunate as to have purchased a car from a dealership that's willing to own up to its mistakes. And if you didn't enter an 'as-is' agreement and the dealership lies about any damage incurred to the vehicle, you could have a claim against it. Furthermore, as Lemon Car Law states, if integral components are compromised, then drivers could take legal action. There are several steps involved in this process. First, Lemon Car Law recommends contacting your state's consumer protection office. This will allow you to start a record of lodging a formal complaint against the dealership that sold you the vehicle. Moreover, lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) may also help garner more attention to your claim. While possessing no legal authority, many companies take BBB ratings seriously. So, bad marks against the company could incentivize it to take action. Additionally, should your vehicle still fall under the manufacturer's base warranty, Lemon Car Law also suggests filing with the National Center for Dispute Settlement. Commenters React Maillet also narrated in the video, 'Just talked to the general manager of Chevy, and they told me they never should have sold me that car, and that they were in the wrong, and they're sorry.' Several folks who replied to her video concurred with the general manager's statement that the dealership was in the wrong. One user penned, 'You have a lawsuit!' urging Maillet to take legal action against the business. Another echoed this sentiment, stating their admittance of fault may ultimately assist with her claim: 'Call a lawyer - IMMEDIATELY! They just admitted fault and incompetence. Go get your coin.' 'Huge huge lawsuit. You cannot release a car with compromised brakes,' someone else wrote. Others on TikTok shared experiences working in auto sales that were similar to Maillet's close call. 'I hated doing used cars because of stuff like this. Sales only want to do enough to get it to roll off the lot. Who cares about customer safety right?' According to this user, refusal to perform component swaps is a common occurrence. 'Happens all the time. And the service department always gets the blame.' However, there was someone else who appeared confused about the hate directed toward third-party vehicle options. 'What's wrong with aftermarket Brakes? There are millions of cars/trucks on the road with non oem brakes on them and have no issues.' Motor1 has reached out to Maillet via TikTok comment for further information. The story will be updated should she respond. Now Trending 'I've Got a Scat, I Love It:' Dealership Customer Asks About a 'Shelby' They Spotted on the Lot.

Murder charges filed in deaths of 3 Kansas City Chiefs fans
Prosecutors have upgraded charges to felony murder against two men accused in the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans found dead outside a Missouri home last year, a new court filling shows Initially in March, the Platte County District Attorney filed charges including distribution of a controlled substance and three counts of manslaughter against Jordan Willis, 39, and Ivory Carson, 42, in connection to the apparent overdose deaths of Ricky Johnson, 38, David Harrington, 37, and Clayton McGeeney, 36. According to a four-page amended complaint obtained by USA TODAY on June 27, Willis and Carson now face three counts of felony murder in the second-degree. Under Missouri law, felony murder in the second degree is punishable by no less than 10 to 30 years in prison, or life imprisonment, the amended complaint reads. A person convicted of manslaughter faces between five and 15 years in prison. The revised complaint was filed in open court before a judge on June 26, Platte County Attorney's Office spokesperson Tanya Faherty told USA TODAY. Dad went to a bar, son died in hot car: Father charged in 18-month-old son's death Who is suspected drug dealer in Kansas City Chief fan death case? The men's bodies were found Jan. 7, 2024, outside Willis' suburban Kansas City home where the group gathered to watch an NFL game. During a news conference earlier this year, officials said Carson was the suspected drug dealer who sold cocaine to Willis and the victims. Court documents also show Carson's DNA was allegedly found on a bag of fentanyl at the scene. The case attracted national attention as the cause of fans' deaths were shrouded in mystery for nearly a year. Court records released in March show the men died from toxic effects of fentanyl and cocaine. For months, law enforcement and prosecutors refused to publicly release the men's cause or manner of death despite their autopsies being complete. At the time, authorities had cited the case's pending investigation. Chiefs fan overdose case: Father files lawsuit after deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans in 2024 Jordan Willis' attorney on new charges: 'It's an overreach' After the fans' deaths, the 38-year-old Willis moved out of his rental home, where he had lived alone and worked remotely for a New York hospital, according to his Kansas City-based lawyer, John Picerno. On June 27, the defense attorney continued to profess his client's innocence, saying Willis maintain he is not responsible for purchasing or supplying the drugs that led to the victim's deaths. "I believe it's an overreach," Picerno said when asked by USA TODAY about the amended charges. "I believe the previous charges were adequate. It was only done because we turned down a plea offer." Picerno did not elaborate on the plea offer conditions or when it was offered to his client. The defense attorney said his client is due in Platte County Associate Circuit Court next month for another hearing on the case. Mens' bodies found outside after freezing temperatures According to Kansas City police, officers discovered the fans' bodies two days after the men met to watch a Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers. On the night of the game, temperatures dipped to 29 degrees, the National Weather Service reported. Some 48 hours later, police said officers received a call from McGeeney's fiancé, who said she visited the home after not hearing from him. When no one answered the door, she broke inside and found a dead body in the back of the property. When officers arrived, they also found two other men dead in the backyard.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, son Justin Combs hit with gang-rape lawsuit
A woman has filed a complaint against Sean "Diddy" Combs' son Justin Combs, alleging she was "gang-raped" by Diddy and two other men during a trip to Los Angeles. Tyreke Conerly claims Justin Combs contacted her through Snapchat in March or April 2017, requesting "risque" photos, which she sent. She says Combs, 31, offered to fly the New Orleans resident to LA for a weekend, and promised he could get her a job at Revolt TV, a network his father founded. Instead, Conerly claims she was drugged, "literally held prisoner for a weekend" and "repeatedly raped" by three masked men, including the elder Combs. USA TODAY has reached out to Combs' team for comment. The lawsuit comes amid closing arguments in Combs' federal sex-crimes trial, a closely watched affair attended regularly by many of Combs' children, including Justin. Who are Sean 'Diddy' Combs' kids? These family members attended his sex-crimes trial In the complaint, filed by Tony Buzbee, who is representing a host of other alleged victims accusing Combs of assault, the lawyer claims the music mogul's "penchant for sexual violence is shared by his son." Drawing on an alleged "long history of violence," Buzbee argues that Conerly's story notches cleanly into an established pattern of sexual and physical abuse, allowed for by an unassailable power and influence across industries. Diddy trial updates: Sean Combs' attorney says case is about 'love,' 'jealousy' In the complaint, Conerly alleges she was flown out by Justin Combs to Los Angeles in April 2017, following through on a desire to break into the entertainment industry. After being picked up by a black SUV, she was allegedly taken to a "palatial" venue the younger Combs called "The Glass House." They stayed in the home for two days, and when she asked if they would leave, Justin responded: "No," according to the filing. Diddy trial closing arguments: 'Inner circle, money and influence' concealed crimes After the two consumed several unidentified drugs, according to the complaint, three men in masks entered the home – two who were unrecognizable and one who she understood to be Sean Combs after Justin called him "Pops." Then, she alleges, she was taken to a room where the men took turns raping her both orally and anally after being told: "You better let this happen. Or else." Surviving abuse: Cassie Ventura Fine and the unlikely bond with her mother-in-law The assault continued for over 24 hours, the complaint alleges, after which Conerly was driven back to the airport. Both the possibility of the job – which she never got – and of the unsanctioned release of her intimate photos were held over her head by Justin Combs, she alleges. Buzbee, on Conerly's behalf, is demanding a jury trial and damages.
