Jenna Bush Hager slammed by NYC dad for body shaming — after ‘Today' splashes his Speedo pics on national TV

New York Post4 days ago
Last week on an episode of 'Today with Jenna and Friends,' Jenna Bush Hager gave her thoughts on men wearing Speedos — leading to body shaming accusations leveled against the morning show personality.
In a segment called 'The Internet's Divided,' Hager and guest co-host Dwyane Wade discussed an NYC dad who went viral for wanting to 'normalize' dads wearing Speedos.

'If my husband brought out a Speedo, I'd be shocked,' the 43-year-old AM chatter claimed, looking at an image of Big Apple public school teacher Tyler Moore, the daring dad who sparked the conversation with a social media post.
'And by the way, a man thigh?' she continued disapprovingly, to which Wade responded, 'Yeah, a hairy man thigh, nobody wants to see that.'
Moore, known to his fans as Tidy Dad, took to his platform to call out the anchor for 'body shaming.'

'Last week, my decision to wear a Speedo while lap swimming and open water swimming was discussed on The Today Show,'' the disgruntled Gothamite posted on Threads.
'It's a surreal experience to have your body publicly discussed and shamed on national television,' he shared.
Hager herself is no stranger to the scourge of body shaming.

In 2023, she shared with viewers how her late grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, made a comment about her body when she was a teenager that stuck with her.
'I was laying next to my sister [Barbara Bush], and my grandmother, who I adored, but had kind of a biting personality, said something like, 'Oh, Jenna! Looking chubby,'' Hager recalled. 'I remember feeling like I wanted to hide in it,' she said.

'I got glutes,' the 43-year-old basketball legend said. 'I'm not putting no Speedos on 'cause I've got glutes. I think Speedos are not for people with glutes.'
'When I'm on vacation and I see guys walking with the Speedo, it's like, 'What are you doing, bro? We don't want to see all that,'' Wade continued.

Jessie Murph's 1965 Song Backlash — Internet Reactions

Earlier this week, Nashville-born singer-songwriter Jessie Murph made her Tonight Show debut, where she performed her controversial song "1965" from her upcoming album Sex Hysteria. The 20-year-old "Wild Ones" singer's performance made its way onto Twitter (or X), and I think it's safe to say it's certainly left its mark on people. The snippet, originally posted by Pop Crave, has over 23 million views and has sparked several viral tweets in conversation about it. More specifically, people can't stop talking about the song's lyrics. In the Tonight Show clip, Murph sings, "I think I'd give up a few rights, if you would just love me like it's 1965." This, understandably, caused some uproar. This user, citing others arguing that the song is satire, called the lyrics "frankly abhorrent". "and yet sabrina carpenter is the one allegedly setting feminism back," this user said, referencing the recent backlash the :Espresso" singer faced for the cover of her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, which depicted Carpenter on her knees with an out-of-frame man pulling her hair. The album cover has since been removed from the singer's Instagram page. Another user highlighted lyrics from the song that weren't in the 30-second snippet shared to social media, such as "I might get a little slap-slap, but you won't hit me up on Snapchat," comparing 1960s relationships to those of today. For reference, here are the lyrics to the other verses in the song, with notable lyrics like, "I would be twenty, and it'd be acceptable for you to be forty, and that is fucked up, I know. But at least you wouldn't drive off before I get in the fuckin' door." And, finally, the performance essentially started to become a meme of its own: So, what do you think? Does it totally cross the line in the midst of an administration actively dismantling women's rights, or do you think this whole thing is a case of misunderstood satire and it's a commentary in and of itself? Tell us your take in the comments. You can also watch the full performance for yourself here:

Vine to return: Elon Musk unveils AI reboot of iconic video platform

Elon Musk's social media company X is bringing back popular video-sharing platform Vine in "AI form", the billionaire tech-entrepreneur said on Thursday, almost nine years after the app was discontinued. Musk made the announcement in a post on X, formerly Twitter, but did not provide further details. X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request seeking more information on the reboot. In case you missed it: Vine co-founder announces meme coin named after now-defunct app The Tesla TSLA.O CEO has previously hinted at reviving Vine multiple times since he acquired Twitter in 2022, including posting public polls on X about bringing back the short-form video app that was popular in the 2010s. Twitter introduced Vine in January 2013, allowing users to share small snippets of video that were six seconds or less, with the app quickly gaining popularity among video bloggers and attracting millions of followers. In late 2016, Twitter announced it would discontinue the app. The six-second long video format could work favorably for AI-generated content, as most AI video generation tools available currently typically generate short-form content while longer video clips come with increased costs.
