Ex-wife of Los Angeles Chargers star Rashawn Slater blasts reporter over 'deplorable' divorce comment
Brown and Slater have gone their separate ways, with the split being publicized at the same time the offensive lineman's new contract was signed.
The 26-year-old is reportedly set to sign a four-year, $114 million contract extension that includes a record $92 million guaranteed. The deal is set to make Slater the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.
Kleiman mostly reported the facts, with the divorce caveat before finishing his social media message - 'talk about good timing.'
Brown has retorted to Kleiman, defending her ex-husband despite no longer being together.
'This is deplorable. I hold nothing but support for Rashawn,' Brown said on X. 'His contract is not about me. I think we should focus on what's most important here, and that is his career and his success. Please stop including me in this narrative. He deserves his moment.'
Kleiman responded quickly to Brown's claim, with details of the timeline for the divorce not being publicized alongside his comments.
'It wasn't about you. It was about Rashawn keeping the money that he worked hard for. I didn't mention your name. So you decide to draw more attention to yourself? But also claiming he deserves his moment,' Kleiman said.
NFL fans have blasted Kleiman for his comments, saying he is 'gaslighting' Brown and others by stating his intentions, yet including her photo in multiple messages about Slater.
The Chargers and Slater's representatives, CAA Football, have reportedly been hammering out the deal for weeks.
Slater was set to enter the final year on his current contract but is now tied to Los Angeles until 2029.
Selected by the Chargers with the 13th overall pick in 2021, Slater has already earned two Pro-Bowl nods over his four-year NFL career.
He was limited to three games in 2022 because of a ruptured biceps, but has otherwise been a permanent fixture on the Bolts' offensive line.

Only banjos in the building: Steve Martin will co-host the 2025 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards
Get those banjos ready, because this isn't a joke: Actor and comedy legend Steve Martin will co-host the IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards for the first time, alongside Grammy-award winning roots musician Alison Smith. This year's show will take place Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium. Fans are able to purchase tickets via Ticketmaster. 'I'm thrilled to be hosting with Alison Brown, and connecting with all my bluegrass friends as opposed to my kinda dumb comedy friends,' Martin said in a statement. 'The IBMA Awards show is always one of my very favorite nights of the year,' Brown added. 'I'm so honored to co-host this year with my banjo pal Steve Martin.' Martin is a longtime lover of bluegrass, first picking up the banjo as a teenager. He's released a number of albums and even created the bluegrass musical 'Bright Star ' for Broadway — a complex love story set against the American South written by Martin and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Edie Brickell. In addition to their hosting duties, Martin and Brown's collaborative single, '5 Days Out, 2 Days Back,' has been nominated in three categories: song of the year, music video of the year and collaborative recording of the year. IBMA is the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Terrified boy savagely beaten by THREE football player bullies at Christian summer camp while fourth filmed
A student athlete was filmed being savagely beaten by three football players while taking part in a Christian summer camp. The horrific ordeal, which has gone viral online, occurred during a Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) camp at Presbyterian College in South Carolina on July 7. According to lawyers representing the boy, the perpetrators were DW Daniel High School football players - whose friends also recorded the punch-up. Their football coach, Chris Stone, has been put on leave following the fight. Several students have been criminally charged over the gory attack, the school board announced, without providing further details. Daily Mail has contacted Pickens County Sheriff's Office for further details. In the frightening footage, the victim was punched in the face by one individual before another person attacked him inside a dorm room. The unnamed boy was pushed onto the bed by the two, who continued to assault him. The young man attempted to block their punches with his hands. He was then pushed out of frame as one individual said, 'I got to get in here', before they joined in with the beatdown. While the three carried out the attack, another could be seen filming it. The group then backed away from the boy before one returned to punch him in the head. As the three left the room, one of them said: 'Don't even get up', as another added: 'Watch your s*** next time, you know we are not the same n****.' In a statement to Malarkey News, the boy said his attackers had accused him of using racial slurs prior to the assault, which he has denied. He said the attack left him with a 'serious' concussion, and bruises across his head and ribcage. He added that he is no longer able to participate in combat sports. The law firm representing the boy said the camp was a school-sanctioned event with the FCA renting out the campus when the incident took place. In a statement earlier this week, the Pickens County School District Board of Trustees said that several DW Daniel High students were criminally charged after the fight. They said: 'The full Board of Trustees of the School District of Pickens County was made aware late last week that a very serious incident occurred at a school sponsored football camp at Presbyterian College earlier this month. 'Board members have now seen the disturbing video that is circulating on social media. 'This incident, which involved numerous student athletes, resulted in the injury of one student and criminal charges for several students.' It added: 'This matter is serious, not acceptable, and is being addressed by the administration and law enforcement. 'According to the statement all of those involved are minors, and that they are all facing disciplinary action at school and athletic levels. 'The Board is appalled that this serious incident occurred and that a student was injured during a school-sponsored event.' The football coach of the Daniel High School team Chris Stone has also been placed on administrative paid leave as the district conducts an investigation. Stone was brought in to lead the team in April of this year, with the victim saying in his statement that Stone was inside the building at the time. 'Multiple teammates were coming in and out while I was trapped in my room, but nobody thought to get a coach', the boy said. In a statement, 8th Circuit Solicitor David Stumbo said his office was aware of the fight and was monitoring the situation. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes said that the behavior of those captured on their camp 'falls unacceptably short of our standards'. The law firm said they released the footage in hopes of other people coming forward with information that could help the investigation.

The overlaid text on screen read, 'It ain't my fault when walkin jaws droppin like ooooo ahhhh,' referencing lyrics to the same song.

Many applauded her confidence - something that Miranda has spoken candidly about in recent years. In an interview with Health, she spoke about her ongoing body issues throughout the years and how she finally got to a comfortable space - something that has made performing less anxiety-inducing for her. 'It's so good to find your place,' she said. 'I don't like being onstage worrying about my body. That's the last thing I want to be thinking about. I don't give my best performance when I'm distracted by my insecurities.' She recalled the story of a young girl who came up to her at a concert and mentioned that she had thrown away her scale because of Miranda. 'That gave me confidence to be like, "Whatever state you're in, you've gotta rock it" she said.
