‘Love Island USA' star reveals ‘extremely abusive' childhood: ‘I did not want to live anymore'
She's opening up. Huda Mustafa, 24, star of 'Love Island USA' Season 7 has revealed that she had an 'extremely abusive' childhood. During a recent appearance on the podcast, 'Call Her Daddy,' she said, 'My parents, they immigrated to America and got their citizenship, and my dad, he had his own business. And my mother, she was a teacher. And, you know, we weren't fortunate as kids.' She explained that she was one of five siblings, and her family financially struggled. 'We played with sticks outside. We didn't have phones till we were like 16, 17. Like, I'm not a privileged child. I was never that. And growing up, my dad was extremely abusive. He was very abusive towards my mother, towards me and my siblings.' 6 Huda Mustafa on the 'Call her Daddy' podcast. Call Her Daddy/Youtube 6 Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa on 'Love Island USA.'

'A vivid memory I have as a kid is like, I don't even know how old I was, but I remember hearing my dad beating the s–t out of my mom in the room,' she said. She also said that she was bullied at school, to the point where she had suicidal thoughts. 'When I was in middle school, there was a point where I wanted to take my own life. I did not want to live anymore,' she revealed. 6 'Love Island USA' stars Belle Walker, Olandria Carthen, Michelle Chelley, Bissainthe, Yulissa Escobar, and Huda Mustafa (right).

Things that I caught and was clocking and was told that I was being crazy. But I don't know if anything was done on purpose to make me act out in a way.' Mustafa came in third place with her partner, Chris Seely, during the Season 7 finale – before they ultimately parted ways as friends and she left single. Season 7 of 'Love Island USA' had a lot of drama, with multiple cast members such as Cierra Ortega getting removed from the show after past racist social media posts resurfaced. 6 Huda Mustafa on 'Love Island USA.'

After she found out she was pregnant she revealed she didn't tell her mother for a few months. 'I kept it from everybody for three or four months. I didn't know how to do this at all. I didn't even know I was supposed to go to the doctors.'

From swipes to sparks: Charlize Theron dishes on dating apps and single life
Renowned actress Charlize Theron opened up about love and life during a recent appearance on the "Call her Daddy" podcast. Image: Instagram. In a recent episode of the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast, renowned actress Charlize Theron laid bare her thoughts on intimacy, dating and personal autonomy. The 49-year-old Oscar winner appeared on the podcast to promote her new film "The Old Guard 2". During the interview, she openly discussed that at this stage in her life, she is embracing her single status and having experiences she had previously missed out on in her younger years. Theron said her recent escapade, a one-night stand with a 26-year-old, left her exhilarated, describing it as "really f****** amazing". "I think I've had three one-night stands in my life. It's not my thing, but this one was just … I was in a different place," confessed the "Bombshell" actress. Video Player is loading.

"Marriage is a long-term commitment and I think I want a long-term commitment. I just don't need to get married," Theron clarified. Her stance on modern dating revealed her frustrations with the landscape of dating apps. She lambasted the exclusive dating platform Raya, labelling it a "f****** clown show", and highlighted her hate for clichés often seen in profiles, advising to stay clear of vague job titles, photos featuring exes, and typical "Burning Man" shots. Despite the challenging dating scene, Theron seems to have found a new pleasure in her sexual experiences: "I'm having the kind of sex I never had in my twenties or my thirties." Reflecting on her past relationships, she said that she often "lost herself" in them. "I used to be a person that would watch herself," she noted. During the podcast, Theron also revisited an incident of sexual harassment involving an unnamed director. She recounted how he allegedly attempted to make a move on her during a casting audition. She described being invited to the director's house under false pretences, only to be met with unwanted advances. He allegedly answered the door in pyjamas, then proceeded to "put his hand on my knee". She said that she immediately got up and left. Theron has never said the name of the director. "I don't want the story to be about him. It's not because I'm protecting him or anything ... He got nervous for a little bit. He heard me tell the story, and he knew it was about him, and he wrote me a pretend letter trying to explain his behaviour and how I must have misunderstood it, which is classic, isn't it? It's so classic." Theron continued to claim that the director "panicked" about her going public. 'I won't even f****** say your name because you know you're the scumbag. You know it's you," Theron said. "If anybody ever asked me about him, I would be completely honest and he knows that. I kind of like that he's got to be on a hot seat. He doesn't know when it's going to come. I kind of like that a little more." As the conversation unfolded, the single mother of two daughters, Jackson and August, said she maintains that the freedom to opt out of relationships that no longer serve her is paramount to her essence.

Surprise Aussie Orlando Bloom sighting amid Katy Perry split rumours
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Katy Perry's longtime partner Orlando Bloom has been spotted here in Australia, amid rumours the couple's relationship is on the rocks. Perry is nearing the end of the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour, with shows in Perth last night and tonight before she finishes her Oz jaunt with four shows in Adelaide. Earlier this month and several shows into the Australian tour, reports surfaced claiming that Perry's nine-year relationship with actor Bloom was all but done. 'It's over,' a source alleged to Page Six. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.' The pair have been engaged since 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove the following year. But while Bloom wasn't present for the earlier shows of the Australian visit, it appears he's now flown to Perth to join Perry and their daughter on tour. Orlando Bloom takes a walk in Perth yesterday, daughter Daisy on his shoulders. Picture: FAMO / BACKGRID He was snapped walking through the Perth CBD yesterday ahead of Perry's first show in the city, with their daughter on his shoulders. Perry, however, was nowhere to be seen. A source in People made the somewhat unlikely claim that poor sales of Perry's latest album 143 and its accompanying singles were partly to blame for the alleged breakdown of her relationship. Bloom walked the streets with an entourage – but there was no sign of Katy. Picture: FAMO / BACKGRID Perry has been touring Australia since the start of the month. Picture: David Clark 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' the outlet quoted a source as saying. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' Other reports alleged that tensions surfaced between the couple over Perry's controversial all-female space flight back in April. A source alleged to The Sun that Bloom was 'frustrated' and 'disappointed' with his partner's decision to go ahead with the brief joy ride into space. Are a flop album and a five-minute space flight really to blame for this couple's alleged problems? Perry looked to be enjoying herself before Bloom joined her on tour, partying at a gay club night held in her honour last week in Melbourne. Perry cheered on the drag shows and mingled with patrons during the 'Poof Doof' party at Melbourne's Chasers nightclub last week, and even addressed the crowd to make a big announcement. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY 'Because you are my chosen family, a mother must provide for her children,' she told the heaving crowd in the club. 'So as a provider, I would like to open the bar for one hour. The drinks are on me, baby.' Perry and Bloom had earlier split for a year in 2017 before getting back together. The pop star addressed the past break on the podcast Call her Daddy last year, saying, 'We weren't really in it from day one. He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work.' Originally published as Surprise Aussie Orlando Bloom sighting amid Katy Perry split rumours

Ed Sheeran wants to buy George Clooney's Batman costume Bang
Showbiz | Los Angeles Ed Sheeran is planning to splash out thousands to snap up George Clooney's original Batman costume. The 34-year-old singer treats himself to a piece of movie memorabilia every birthday and after previously buying Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl outfit from 1997's 'Batman and Robin', he's hoping to land her co-star's costume from his only outing as the Caped Crusader. Ed said on Alex Cooper's 'Call her Daddy' podcast: 'I'm trying to get the George Clooney Batman costume ... 'I bought the Alicia Silverstone Batwoman [outfit], so it would be matching.(sic)' The 'Azizam' hitmaker - who celebrated his birthday in February - previously splurged a huge amount on a 'Star Wars' replica. He said: 'I bought C-3PO. That was not cheap. I do it every birthday. I just buy one prop a year. 'It's the thing I look forward to. I think all year, 'What am I going to get?'' Ed's lavish estate features a lake, a chapel, and a pub, and a tunnel connecting his private boozer to his main home is where his movie memorabilia is housed. He said: 'In the tunnel, I built a listening room, and there's a cinema - it's less of a man cave and more of a man catacomb ... 'I collect movie props, too, so I've got all of that there. 'I'm a huge 'Hook' fan, so I bought Robin Williams' Pan costume and Julia Roberts' Tinker Bell costume.'

Buttigieg says left won't have its own Joe Rogan: ‘That's not how it works'
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Democrats shouldn't look for their version of podcaster Joe Rogan and instead should find other meaningful ways to connect with voters. The former White House official touted his visions for the future of the party's appeal during a recent appearance on 'The Weekly Show with John Stewart.' 'My party's all up in arms about who's our Joe Rogan. We're not going to have a Joe Rogan of the left. That's not how it works,' he said. Rogan has developed a platform as a conversationalist and influencer through frequent freeform interviews promoted across social platforms. The former UFC commentator has 19.4 million subscribers on YouTube, 19.8 million followers on Instagram and over 15 million on X. Many have credited Rogan for helping President Trump reclaim the White House after his interview with the podcaster reached over 30 million in three days. Former Vice President Harris refused to sit down for an unedited interview with Rogan, instead joining the 'Call her Daddy' podcast to connect with younger voters and discuss abortion rights. Buttigieg said that's the type of energy Democrats need. He suggested the party ramp up its presence in new media spaces to promote platform messaging and policy points. 'The other big thing that my party is terribly behind on is where we say it. And by this I mean what media spaces we are in,' he said. The Biden administration official urged party members to reach people who are 'not always looking for politics.' 'When I think about a generational project of really transforming the country and transforming the country for the better versus transforming the country into whatever it has been plunged into in the last 100 days, that's going to require a deeper level of vision and a greater readiness to walk away ruthlessly from what hasn't worked and to stand up relentlessly for what has worked, even if it's unpopular,' Buttigieg said.
