Selling Sunset's Emma Hernan, 33, SPLITS from 'MAGA boyfriend' Blake Harris, 28, after her ex-best-friend Chrishell Stause's fiery feud with him
Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan has split from her boyfriend Blake Harris, months after her ex-best-friend Chrishell Stause became embroiled in a fiery feud with him. The realtor, 33, was first publicly linked to developer Blake, 28, in December after dating for a year, but the pair are now believed to have gone their separate ways. Emma took to her Instagram Stories on Monday to hint at her relationship status as she described herself as 'single' while on a helicopter ride with her friends. Filming herself flashing the peace sign, a caption read: 'POV: You're single for the summer getting your passport stamped.' Emma has not officially confirmed her split from Blake or addressed their relationship status, though TMZ first reported they had gone their separate ways. MailOnline has contacted Emma's representatives for further comment. The news of their split comes after Emma's former best friend Chrishell, 44, became embroiled in a very public spat with Blake, accusing him of saying 'pronouns are dumb' The news of their split comes after Emma's former best friend Chrishell, 44, became embroiled in a very public spat with Blake. In May, Chrishell, 43, responded to a comment on Instagram after fans noticed the once inseparable friends had not been posting pictures together online. The fan asked: 'What's happening with you and Emma? Hot topic on Reddit.' Chrishell made some bombshell allegations about Blake as she replied: 'Ask her about her MAGA bf who told me pronouns are dumb and that he likes to use the N word. 'I just can't with that. Too old to allow that in. But love her from afar.' However, real estate agent Blake broke his silence on her allegations and claimed to have only met Chrishell 'a handful of times'. 'The meeting at Ms Stause's home took place in January 2024, and this was the last time I saw or spoke to Ms Stause,' he claimed. 'We are barely acquaintances and we know very little about each other's beliefs and lives.' In May, Chrishell made accusations about Blake while responding to a comment on Instagram after fans noticed the once inseparable friends had not been posting pictures together online He claimed that he and Chrishell 'have never discussed political views' and argued he 'does not use derogatory language about anyone'. However, he admitted he did mistakenly call Chrishell's partner G Flip 'Ms. Stause's wife', though the Australian drummer uses the gender neutral pronouns they/them. 'The only time we had a real conversation was when I met Ms Stause at her house with Emma. I regretfully referred to G Flip as Ms Stause's wife,' he claimed. 'Ms Stause corrected me that they were partners and that G Flip goes by the pronoun them. 'Since, I have respectfully used the preferred pronouns.' Blake also said he remained 'committed' to Emma in very rare comments about their relationship, as Emma generally keeps her private life out of the spotlight. 'Aside from a few breaks we have taken due to distance and other personal issues, we remain committed to each other,' he added in comments made shortly before their split emerged. As recently as February 2025, the former besties had interacted with each other on social media and they are both pictured with Chelsea Lazkani in December 2024 'I am a supportive partner to Emma and I fully support her friendship with Ms Stause.' The state of once-inseparable best friends Emma and Chrishell's current relationship is not known. As recently as February 2025, the former besties had interacted with each other on social media. The Selling Sunset co-stars' feud was reportedly filmed for the upcoming season of the show and will play out when season nine premieres.

Wealth Protection Ethics: Legal Safeguards Rooted In Responsibility
Blake Harris is an Asset Protection Attorney and Founding Principle of Blake Harris Law. In today's litigious and highly transparent environment, protecting wealth is no longer viewed as an optional strategy; it is a fundamental component of responsible financial planning. High-net-worth individuals, particularly business owners, professionals and investors, often face elevated exposure to legal risk simply by virtue of their visibility and success. As asset protection strategies become more sophisticated and more common, so does public interest in how wealth is preserved and transferred. Conversations about financial transparency, fairness and legacy have grown more complex, especially in an era when headlines can shape reputations and regulatory scrutiny continues to evolve. In this context, effective asset protection must go beyond technical compliance. It requires ethical consideration. Preserving wealth wisely involves not only safeguarding it from unjust threats but also ensuring that the methods used reflect long-term values and a commitment to responsible stewardship. Legitimacy In The Spotlight: Protecting Wealth Responsibly Asset protection is entirely legal, and when structured correctly, it is designed not to obscure wealth but to insulate it from unjust seizure. In my practice, I often emphasize to clients that the goal is not to relinquish ownership but to strategically position assets beyond the reach of frivolous lawsuits or opportunistic creditors. Too often, asset protection is misunderstood or misrepresented as a form of tax evasion or secrecy. These perceptions are not only outdated but fundamentally incorrect. For U.S. persons, asset protection structures are tax-neutral. They do not reduce or eliminate tax obligations. Instead, their purpose is to safeguard assets from civil litigation, malpractice exposure or personal liability stemming from business ventures. Another misconception is that asset protection is something to pursue only when legal threats are imminent. In reality, the most effective strategies are proactive. By setting up structures before any claims arise, individuals avoid the appearance and legal risks of fraudulent conveyance. The best time to protect your assets is before you ever need to. Best Practices For Values-Aligned Wealth Protection The ethical framework of wealth preservation centers around intent, impact and integrity. Here are values-based principles that responsible clients and advisors should uphold: Transparent Documentation: Legitimate asset protection requires thorough documentation, clear trust deeds and consistent reporting to authorities like the IRS (e.g., Form 3520 and Foreign Bank and Financial Account Report [FBAR], where applicable). Purpose-Driven Legacy Planning: Protecting wealth should support long-term individual or family goals, not just short-term risk aversion. Offshore and domestic trusts can be structured to enable generational transfer while preserving legal separation. Philanthropic Structure: Asset protection and generosity are not mutually exclusive. Charitable remainder trusts, donor-advised funds and impact investment vehicles are legitimate tools for both shielding and sharing wealth. Incorporating ESG: Forward-thinking asset holders increasingly align their portfolios with environmental, social and governance (ESG) values, ensuring their wealth reflects their personal or family mission. The Role Of The Attorney As Steward Attorneys who specialize in asset protection serve not only as legal technicians but as strategic advisors who help clients make informed, values-based decisions. Their responsibility extends beyond legal compliance to include ethical guidance and long-term planning. Rather than simply executing what is legally allowed, responsible attorneys encourage clients to take a thoughtful approach, one that aligns legal strategies with personal values, professional obligations and reputational awareness. For example, effective advisors can help ensure that: • All planning is initiated well before any legal threats arise, minimizing the risk of fraudulent transfer claims. • Clients have a clear understanding of the purpose and limitations of any asset protection structures they use. • Trustees or fiduciaries are selected based on professional qualifications and a demonstrated ability to act with transparency and integrity. When carried out in this way, asset protection becomes not just a legal safeguard but part of a broader commitment to responsible wealth stewardship. Wealth As A Stewardship, Not A Shield Asset protection should not be viewed as a fortress built to hoard wealth but rather as a framework for responsible stewardship. As litigation risks continue to rise, so must the thoughtfulness and integrity behind the legal structures used to safeguard assets. Ethical wealth protection is not about concealment. It is about honoring what has been built, shielding it from unjust claims, preserving financial privacy as a legitimate right and ensuring that one's legacy benefits those it was intended to serve.

Dodgers hit rock bottom last seen in 1932 after loss to Brewers
The post Dodgers hit rock bottom last seen in 1932 after loss to Brewers appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Dodgers just hit a historically low point — one not seen since the Great Depression. After a 1-9 blowout loss to the Milwaukee Brewers Monday, the Dodgers have now dropped four straight games by a combined -31 run differential, marking the worst four-game stretch since 1932 for the team. Advertisement Over the last four games, dating back to last Friday, the Dodgers' losing streak included three defeats to the Houston Astros, capped by a blowout loss to the Brewers on Monday. They were outscored 38-7 during the stretch, hitting just .215 with a .289 on-base percentage and a .600 OPS. Thinking Blue's Blake Harris took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to highlight just how historically bad the Dodgers' recent stretch has been, sharing a staggering statistic on the platform. 'The Dodgers have lost 4 games in a row Their run differential of -31 over the last 4 games is their worst in a 4-game stretch since 1932' Advertisement This stat encapsulates the frustration in LA. No team in the modern Dodgers era, since their move to Los Angeles in 1958, has endured a run differential this severe over such a short span. The four-game collapse began on July 4th with an 18-1 blowout loss to the Astros, followed by a 6-4 defeat the next day. On July 6th, the Dodgers managed just one run again in a 5-1 loss to Houston, and the slide culminated Monday night with a 9-1 beatdown at the hands of the Brewers. Just before the bottom completely fell out, the Dodgers were actually celebrating major milestones — Clayton Kershaw reaching 3,000 career strikeouts and Teoscar Hernandez notching his 1,000th big league hit. But stability was nowhere to be found. The final chapter in the collapse, the Dodgers vs. Brewers result, felt like the symbolic low point. Their offense managed just 29 hits and 3 home runs across the four-game stretch, struggling to generate momentum or capitalize with runners on. Pitching was equally inconsistent, allowing 38 total runs and compiling just 35 strikeouts during that span. The team grounded into three double plays and registered zero sacrifice flies or bunts either, highlighting a lack of situational execution. The significance of the worst run differential the Dodgers have posted during their time in Los Angeles, and nearly a century overall, goes beyond the numbers. It challenges the identity of a franchise long viewed as a perennial contender. It raises questions about clubhouse leadership, pitching depth, and whether the All-Star break can arrive soon enough.

Mookie Betts offers blunt reason behind Dodgers' ugly skid
The post Mookie Betts offers blunt reason behind Dodgers' ugly skid appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Dodgers haven't created fireworks post Fourth of July. Or in the last four games in general. Sparking a blunt Mookie Betts response. Advertisement This time L.A. took a massive 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers Monday. Milwaukee kept the Dodgers at the one-run mark for the second straight game. But the Dodgers hit a far worse mark than the solo run. 'Their run differential of -31 over the last 4 games is their worst in a 4-game stretch since 1932,' noted longtime Dodgers reporter Blake Harris on X (formerly Twitter). This also means the worst four-game stretch in the era of Dave Roberts. How does Betts assess what's going on with the Dodgers' bats? He dropped this blunt reason via SportsNet LA. 'We haven't hit very good, that's pretty much it,' Betts said. 'We were just playing well. And I mean, it's part of the season. We're not going to be perfect everyday.' Betts even delivered a costly throwing error. Now the Dodgers head near the MLB All-Star Break. With a strong chance to hit the recharge button. Especially on the hitting side. Advertisement Does Mookie Betts believe break comes at right time for Dodgers? Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Betts isn't one to believe that the break comes at a pivotal time for L.A. 'I'm not worried about it. I'm taking it day-by-day,' Betts said. 'When we get there, we'll get there. All we can do is control what we can control. And that's prepare for tomorrow.' Milwaukee's rout additionally marks the third time in the last four games that L.A. settled for one run. Even starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto got pulled early. He was relieved after the bottom of the first inning. Yamamoto allowed four hits and five runs. The Dodgers didn't score until the eighth inning. Shohei Ohtani scored the lone run. The designated hitter led L.A. with two hits. Los Angeles gets a chance to redeem its hitting mystique on Tuesday.

Alex Bowman grits through pain to finish fourth in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — Alex Bowman winced as he lowered his body into a seat in the drivers meeting Sunday, the pain in his right lower back and leg a result of his high-speed head-on crash the previous week in Michigan. He said on Saturday that it was painful sitting in his car. Just sitting in a regular padded folding chair Sunday proved as difficult. Advertisement Yet, here he was about to run 100 laps around the 15-turn, 2.42-mile Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez course from the 29th starting spot. HIs journey lasted 3 hours and 14 minutes. When it ended, he had finished fourth. "Running well probably made it easier than it could have been,' Bowman told Prime after the race. 'Just proud of the whole team. I put us behind this week. In full transparency, I couldn't walk on Wednesday, so I missed all my sim stuff, all my meetings. Just trying to get back going. 'I had a lot of help from a lot of people to fix whatever the hell was going on, and thankfully enough, I was able to run all the laps this weekend.' Mexico NASCAR photo (5).jpg Shane van Gisbergen wins NASCAR Mexico City Cup inaugural race by over 16 seconds Advertisement The Trackhouse Racing driver qualifies for the 2025 playoffs with his second career victory. Crew chief Blake Harris marveled at what Bowman accomplished. 'To be honest, we didn't know … Wednesday night for sure that he was going to be on the plane with us Thursday,' Harris said. 'I thought his recovery was going well and Wednesday me and another guy had to basically carry him because he got to a point where he almost couldn't walk. 'It's tough for me because I look at Michigan, it doesn't matter what happens with our team, I feel responsible for it. In my opinion … if the car is more comfortable at Michigan, we're not in the 20s (in the running order) and we don't get crashed.' NASCAR Mexico NASCAR won't commit to returning to Mexico in 2026 but 'very hopeful' to be back Advertisement NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps told drivers before the race: 'Together, we are doing something that will be remembered in the history of our great sport.' Bowman said he spent most of his time in Mexico in his hotel bed recovering. His team had Anthony Alfredo on standby to relieve Bowman. Alfredo wasn't needed. Bowman fought through the injury for just his third top-10 finish in the last 10 races. A key moment in the race came when Harris pitted Bowman on Lap 62 from sixth place. Bowman was the second car to come to pit road at the start of that green-flag cycle. Christopher Bell, who went on to finish second started the cycle a lap earlier. NASCAR: Wurth 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY Ricky Stenhouse Jr. upset with Carson Hocevar, vows action when 'we get back to the States' Advertisement Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s comments were caught by Carson Hocevar's in-car camera after the race. Harris said that strategy started with Bowman's pit stop on Lap 17. The pit crew took off the wet-weather tires and put on slicks (meant for dry conditions). Harris admits that they probably put the slicks on too early but the stop came at their last chance to pit before the end of the stage at Lap 20 since there are no pit stops allowed in the last two laps of either the first or second stage. There was a benefit to the move. 'That gave us the first jump to track position,' Harris said. 'Then at that point, we knew a lot of guys thought a bunch of rain was coming, so we knew a lot of guys would pit and we stayed out. They pitted before (the end of) stage two, thinking they could go to the rain. We thought the rain was going to be like right at the time we were out of fuel. Advertisement 'We started to get some of those sprinkles right as we were starting to run out of fuel.' NASCAR Mexico (4).jpg What drivers said at Mexico City after Cup race won by Shane van Gisbergen The Trackhouse Racing driver turned in a dominant performance for his second career Cup victory. That's why Bowman pitted at Lap 62. When a caution came out for Carson Hocevar's stalled car at Lap 66, only part of the field had pitted. Those that had, moved to the front of the field. Those that had not — including leader Ty Gibbs — restarted deeper in the field after their pit stop. Bowman restarted third and went on to score a top-five finish. 'It feels good to get this No. 48 Ally Chevrolet team a run that they deserve,' Bowman said. 'We've had a lot of fast race cars and just had days that haven't gone our way. We've had issues and there's been times that I've crashed the car, so to get them a good run after everything this week and how hard they've had to work is great.'
