The events of this season have devastated me, and while I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me. As the episode makes clear, I did not see the photo at the time. Rather, l was made aware of the photo being presented at the event, and based on what l was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me - which is why I reacted in the way that I did. I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me. I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life. ~Britt' The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.

3 Sterling High School students receive scholarship given in name of fallen firefighter
Jun. 5—STERLING — Three local high school students were named recipients of a scholarship honoring a Sterling firefighter who lost his life on the job almost four years ago. Sterling High School students Nico Battaglia, Brinley Francis and Esra Ramirez were named the recipients of the 2025 Garrett Ramos Scholarship during Monday's Sterling City Council meeting. Ramirez was not present for the meeting. Ramos, a SHS graduate, served for almost 10 years with the Sterling Fire Department and also served as the union president for Local 2301. Ramos died in the line of duty Dec. 4, 2021, after falling through the floor of a burning home in rural Rock Falls. Sterling Fire Lt. Vincent Morris and Ramos' wife, Brittney, presented Battaglia and Francis with a commemorative check for $1,000 each. Brittney said the scholarship, which typically opens in April, is available to SHS seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Preference is given to candidates considering a career in public service. "And then the two questions that we ask them are, 'How has a public servant affected your life in a positive manner?' and 'What do you currently do to improve your local community?'" Brittney said. Battaglia will attend Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he plans to play basketball and study psychology. "I hope to be either a counselor or work in forensics and help people," Battaglia said. "I go to a psychologist, and she helps me out, so I know how that makes me feel. I think I can make other people feel the same way and help them." Francis will attend Dixon's Sauk Valley Community College, where she plans to study nursing. "I want to do something with babies, and be a NICU nurse or something," Francis said. "I did a lot of clinicals this year, so I got to work with a lot of people, and it was nice to be able to help people." The Associated Firefighters of Sterling Local 2301 will host the first Garrett Ramos Scramble golf outing Wednesday, Aug. 27, at the Deer Valley Golf Club, 3298 Hoover Road in Deer Grove. Registration opens at 9 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 10 a.m. The cost of entry is $240 per four-person team and includes a golf cart and dinner. The event also will include a silent auction, raffles and prizes. Sponsor packages are available for companies and organizations that would like to sponsor a hole. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Garrett Ramos Scholarship program. For more information on the event, contact Local 2301 through its Facebook page.

American-produced K-pop group VVS releases debut EP 'D.I.M.M.,' channeling Houston hip-hop roots
Debut EP showcases girl group's genre-blending sound and global ambitions, led by longtime K-pop songwriter Paul Thompson A new K-pop girl group formed in South Korea by American songwriter Paul Thompson, VVS made a bold entrance into the K-pop scene with the release of its debut EP 'D.I.M.M.' — short for 'Diamonds In My Mouth' — on Monday. The group is the first girl group produced by MZMC, a professional production and publishing company, and consists of five members: Brittney, Ilee, Rana, Jiu and Liwon. The group's rollout began on April 7 with the '5 C's Debut Trailer,' a 10-part cinematic teaser series introducing the group's concept and members. The videos featured stylized origin animations and action-driven visuals, with choreography directed by Koji Kawamoto, best known for his work on 'John Wick: Chapter 4.' The EP comprises eight tracks — an intro, interlude, outro, and five full-length songs — crafted to highlight the group's distinct identity and global ambition. Its title track 'D.I.M.M.' serves as both a mission statement and a tribute to hip-hop's roots, with lyrics tracing the group's rise from a small label. The production draws inspiration from Houston's late-1990s 'Chopped and Screwed' movement, featuring thunderous 808s, vocal chops, and multilingual rap verses that bridge cultures and generations. Although the group officially debuted April 22 with the powerful single 'Tea,' the full release of "D.I.M.M.' marks its first cohesive body of work. Thompson, who has worked in the K-pop industry in South Korea for over 12 years, envisioned VVS as a genre-blending act that combines raw hip-hop energy with polished R&B aesthetics, tailored for the global stage. Performance plays a central role in VVS's appeal. The choreography for 'D.I.M.M.' was led by Vata and Simeez of Korean dance crew We Dem Boyz, while choreographers Kim In-gyoo and Song Hee-soo created the routine for 'Purrfect.' The music video for 'Tea' has garnered more than 1.8 million views on YouTube since its April release. The single was paired with the B-side 'Fact$,' which further showcased the group's charisma through a dance practice video that quickly topped 100,000 views on the platform. On May 9, VVS followed up with 'Purrfect,' a rapid-fire hip-hop track inspired by the video game Street Fighter. Co-written by Billboard Hot 100 artist Lay Bankz, the song's music video has already surpassed 600,000 views, signaling the group's rising global momentum.
