Euphoria star cleans kitchens to make ends meet leaving fans shocked
Euphoria actress Nika King is the latest Hollywood star to garner attention for her day job, as she's part-owner of a Vegan Soul Food establishment in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. King, 46, played the role of Leslie Bennett - the mother of Rue Bennett (Zendaya) and Gia Bennett (Storm Reid) on 14 episodes of the HBO series during its first two seasons. King garnered attention for her vocational versatility last week when she took to Instagram with a post in which she was cleaning the restaurant's kitchen. The caption read 'When [people] ask me if I'm filming S3 of Euphoria? Me:' A number of King's fans replied in the thread with different sentiments, many surprised that a performer on a high-profile HBO series had to make ends meet with a day job. 'You know the job market is terrible when main actors of a huge tv show are struggling,' said one user, while another added, 'Learning that actors have real jobs out of the filming roles is really humbling to me.' Another user thanked King for shining a light on the struggle many actors face between jobs. 'As an actor who's been out of work for the past two years after the biggest show I've ever done, this felt really validating,' the user said. 'Thanks for sharing.' One user had a similar sentiment, hailing King for keeping it real. 'This is real life and I'm glad you showed it,' the user said. ' People think every actor or actress is rich off one show and I know some that works regular jobs after being on a Hulu show.' Another person said that the fact that King has to work a normal job resonates as 'so f***** up' when taking her talent into account. 'You're a phenomenal performer and you truly deserve everything,' the user said. The Miami native revealed this past February 28 that she wasn't returning to the show for its third season. 'I see the DMs, I see the comments asking if I'm returning for a season three on Euphoria - and unfortunately, I am not,' King said. The actress told her 176,000 Instagram followers that she was grateful for the opportunity to play the high-profile role. 'My character is not coming back to the show, but I am forever grateful to HBO and Zendaya and Sam Levinson, for giving me the opportunity to come on set and do my thing and do my dramatic thing - because a lot of people don't know I come from a comedy background - but I am so excited about what's next for me.' King said she was grateful for the opportunity to develop and showcase her talents in a more dramatic role. 'Without Euphoria, I was not able to step into who I am as an actor, as a daughter, as a person who is always looking for healing in every project that I do - so I feel like this was necessary in my growth. She added, 'And yeah, to the fans, I love y'all. I mean, I didn't know I even had fans! People were like, checking for me. I'm like, "Oh, okay, cool" - but thank you so much. And you guys have an amazing day - peace and blessings. King made clear she was leaning on her faith amid the transitional time. All things work to those who love God and who are called by His purpose - and so I'm trusting Him to move me into the next season of my life,' she said.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins has police report released
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is already in hot water before he even reported to his first NFL training camp following his weekend arrest in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Judkins was charged with domestic violence and battery after striking his girlfriend. The running back was released on bond last night and could very well report to Berea on Friday if his contract situation is resolved by then as well. However, Judkins and the Browns still have much to figure out as the police report from the former Ohio State running back's arrest has been released: In the police report, the victim went on the record to state that Judkins "punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist." The report went on to say that the police determined that the bruising was "clearly evident." The report then states that the victim exited the car and then retreated to the backseat while Judkins was driving. The victim then stated that Judkins "turned around while he was driving and struck her additional times in the left arm and thigh." The police once again determined that the victim had visible bruising. We'll continue to keep you updated on everything that drops from this arrest and the aftermath.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins' arrest gets statement from Ft. Lauderdale police sergeant
The Cleveland Browns have yet another off-the-field issue to deal with as running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested on Saturday evening in Broward County, Florida. Judkins, who has yet to sign his rookie contract with the Browns, was charged with domestic violence and battery after the police responded to an incident in Ft. Lauderdale. Now, the sergeant of the Ft. Lauderdale police department has released a statement on the arrest of the second round pick from just three months ago: Advertisement 'On July 12th, at approximately 9 a.m., Fort Lauderdale Police Officers responded to the 1500 block of West Cypress Creek Road in reference to a delayed battery. Officers arrived on scene and spoke with the victim. During their preliminary investigation it was determined a battery had occurred. The officers made contact with the suspect and placed him into custody. He was transported to Broward County Main Jail. The suspect has been identified as Quinshon Judkins, DOB 10/29/2003 and has been charged with Misdemeanor Battery (Domestic) FSS 784.03-1a1.' Judkins has not yet been placed in front of a judge either. Rookies are set to report to Berea in less than a week, and it's beginning to feel safe to assume that Judkins will not be present. Not only because his contract has yet to be signed, but because he may still have a pending trial due to this arrest. The Browns have released a statement saying they are aware of the incident and have declined to speak further on the matter at this time.

Miley Cyrus reveals the 'powerful' therapy that helped her conquer stage fright
Miley Cyrus has performed for some of the world's biggest audiences — but for years, she quietly battled stage fright behind the scenes. In a recent interview, the pop icon revealed that a therapy called EMDR was instrumental in curbing her anxiety. "Love it. Saved my life," she told The New York Times in May. "I've never had stage fright again. Ever." In another recent interview with Vogue, Cyrus said that EMDR felt like watching a movie in her mind — vivid and emotional, but grounding. Cyrus isn't the only public figure to try EMDR. Prince Harry has shared in interviews that he uses the therapy to process painful memories connected to his mother's death. EMDR — or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing — is an alternative therapy designed to help people process unresolved trauma and emotional pain. "It is a powerful, research-based method that helps people heal from painful or distressing experiences that have become 'stuck' in the brain," Dr. Kate Campbell, licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Bayview Therapy in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, told Fox News Digital. EDMR "helps people heal from painful or distressing experiences that have become 'stuck' in the brain." "EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, tapping or sound, to help the brain reprocess those upsetting memories," added Campbell, who leads a team of EMDR professionals. She elaborated, "On a neurological level, EMDR helps shift the memory from being stored in the emotional part of the brain (the amygdala) to the more logical, rational part (the prefrontal cortex)." Once that shift happens, according to Campbell, people are often able to think about the experience without feeling overwhelmed. "The emotional intensity and negative beliefs linked to it begin to fade," she said. The goal is not to forget the experience, Campbell noted, but to help the brain "understand, integrate and release it, so people can move forward with more clarity, confidence and peace." "By revisiting old fears in a safe, controlled setting and reprocessing them through bilateral stimulation, the brain can shift those memories from a place of heightened distress to emotional neutrality." The root cause of performance anxiety often stems from earlier negative experiences — like an embarrassing childhood moment, fear of judgment or the pressure to be perfect — which get "locked" into the nervous system, according to Campbell. "Over time, these feelings can build into anxiety that shows up in high-pressure moments, like being on stage or speaking in public." EMDR is especially effective for performance anxiety because it addresses the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, the expert noted. The therapy aims to replace the negative memories and beliefs with supportive, empowering ones, Campbell said. "Many people notice their bodies feeling more relaxed and their thoughts becoming clearer and calmer after just a few sessions," she noted. "That shift can open the door to greater confidence, presence and peace in performance settings." Campbell applauded Cyrus' openness about undergoing EMDR therapy. "It helps to reduce the stigma of mental health and highlights how EMDR is not only for those with deep trauma or full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)," she said.

"With the right support from expert mental health professionals, people can overcome deeply-rooted fears and make space for resilience, clarity and peace."
