Jury due to begin deliberating in Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial
Advertisement In closing arguments last week, federal prosecutors and Combs' defense team took their last shots at convincing jurors to convict or acquit the Grammy Award-winning founder of Bad Boy Records. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,' Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said. 'He thought that his fame, wealth and power put him above the law.' Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo countered, 'This isn't about crime. It's about money.' He noted that one of Combs' accusers in the criminal case also sued him in civil court. In all, 34 witnesses testified, headlined by Combs' former girlfriends Cassie — the R&B singer born Casandra Ventura — and " Jane," who testified under a pseudonym. Both women said he often was violent toward them and forced them into hundreds of sexual encounters with paid male sex workers. Advertisement Jurors also saw now-infamous security camera video of Combs beating, kicking and dragging Cassie at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 and clips from videos of sexual encounters. Combs chose not to testify, and his lawyers didn't call any witnesses in their defense case. His attorneys elected instead to challenge the accusers' credibility during lengthy cross-examination questioning. The defense has acknowledged that Combs veered into violence, but his lawyers maintain that the sex acts were consensual. They contend that prosecutors are intruding in Combs' personal life and that he's done nothing to warrant the charges against him.

Horror Thriller ‘Bring Her Back' New On Streaming This Week, Report Says
Jonah Wren Phillips in "Brink Her Back." The acclaimed A24 horror thriller Bring Her Back — starring The Shape of Water Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins — is reportedly coming to digital streaming this week. Directed by Talk to Me helmers Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou, Bring Her Back opened in theaters on May 30. The official logline for Bring Her Back reads, 'A brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.' In addition to Hawkins, Bring Her Back also stars Billy Barratt, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally-Anne Upton, Stephen Phillips, Sora Wong and Liam Damons. Bring Her Back won the acclaim of Rotten Tomatoes critics, who gave the film an 89% 'fresh' rating based on 184 reviews. Audiences gave the film a 79% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 1,000-plus reviews. Bring Her Back is expected to be released on Tuesday, July 1, When to Stream reported. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, it noted that Bring Her Back's studio has not announced or confirmed the release of the film on digital streaming and it is subject to change. Once Bring Her Back debuts on PVOD, it will be available for purchase for $24.99 on such platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube. Since PVOD rental prices tend to run $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent Bring Her Back for $19.99 for a 48-hour period. Why The Directors Behind 'Bring Her Back' Call It A 'Personal' Film Even though it's a horror movie, directors Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou — who are identical twins — told Salon in an interview in early June that Bring Her Back is a personal film to them. 'Horror — not just horror, any sort of art — when you get really personal, it's a way to exorcise those demons, or to express something you can't entirely put into words,' Danny Philippou told Salon. 'So [making a film] is about drawing from those real experiences and putting them somewhere where you don't have to carry them anymore. That's just how we tackle any of the art that we're doing. 'Anything that we're writing, anything that we're making, is to put ourselves out there and express personal things,' the filmmaker added. 'It did feel like we were grieving somebody at that time, we just lost them in pre-production, and the film became about saying goodbye to them as well. The best way to make art is to be as personal as possible.' Bring Her Back is still playing in theaters and has earned $19.2 million domestically and nearly $3 million internationally for a worldwide box office gross of $22.2 million to date. Bring Her Back $17.5 million production budget before prints and advertising, per The Numbers. Rated R, Bring Her Back is expected to be released on PVOD on Tuesday.

Texas' Arch Manning recalls advice from Matthew McConaughey at Manning Passing Academy
There are lots of eyes that gravitate toward the starting quarterback at a blue-blood college football program, let alone at a program such as Texas. For first-year starter Arch Manning, there comes even more fame and expectations given his family lineage, having Super Bowl-winning uncles Peyton and Eli Manning, and grandpa Archie Manning, who played in the NFL for 13 years. Arch Manning, speaking to The Athletic in an interview at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, Louisiana, mentioned receiving advice from one of the most famous Longhorns about his newfound position with the program. "A few. It depends on the night, but I stay pretty low key," Arch Manning told reporters via The Athletic on Friday when asked of how many picture requests he gets on campus. "... I had to get used to it a little bit. I've actually talked to Matthew McConaughey about that. He's given me some advice. He's been great to have in my corner." McConaughey, who's at nearly every Texas Longhorns football game and is known for his role as the team's "Minister of Culture," knows a thing or two about dealing with fame, especially within the context of Austin, Texas, as the Academy Award winner graduated from UT in 1993 and has taught classes at the university. Arch Manning, according to On3's name, image and likeness valuations, is the most valuable college athlete in 2025, as he's worth $6.8 million according to the metric. Arch Manning was even recently featured in a Raising Cane's advertisement alongside his dad, Cooper Manning, Archie Manning and LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. MORE: Steve Spurrier questions Arch Manning as Heisman Trophy favorite, Texas as SEC frontrunner Arch Manning, Cooper Manning, Archie Manning, Garrett Nussmeier, and Todd Graves always stop when they pass a Cane's on their way to @Manning Passing Academy What did McConaughey tell Arch Manning as the former No. 1-ranked quarterback takes over as signal caller in 2025 after two years of being Quinn Ewers' backup? "He's way more known than I am, so it's good anytime you get advice from him," Arch Manning said. "… He kind of told me you still have to live your life. He says he goes to the grocery store, walks down every aisle and he lives his life. You can't let you taking a picture or signing an autograph affect your life." Arch Manning passed for 939 yards with nine touchdowns to two interceptions as a redshirt freshman last season, also rushing for 108 yards and four scores. The 6-foot-4 quarterback threw for 325 yards with two touchdowns in a start against Mississippi State, as he filled in for the injured Ewers. Arch Manning is set to be perhaps the most talked about college athlete across all sports in 2025, and he'll look to remember McConaughey's advice as he aims to get Texas back to the College Football Playoff for the third consecutive year.
