Jonathan Majors Checks Troll Who Tried To Flirt With Meagan Good, Social Media Respects It
Source: JC Olivera / Getty In today's 'doing too much' news, celebrity couple Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good were recently approached outside an Apple store by what at first seemed to be a friendly fan who wanted a picture. The newlyweds obliged, but the mood changed when he complimented Good. 'You're beautiful in person, just to let you know,' the unidentified man said in a clip shared by The Art of Dialogue. 'Could I get a picture and possibly a number?' Good quickly replied, 'No, that's my man,' while Majors approached the man behind the camera, saying, 'Whose number? Why don't you go Google something, bro?' He steps forward, but that's when the recording shuts off as the man says, 'I didn't know.' Now really, sir? You knew who Meagan Good was, but didn't know about her husband. He made headlines not just for being accused of abuse, but for Good (and her mother) supporting him throughout the trial as he lost most of his upcoming work and his reputation. After getting engaged in November 2024, they reportedly married in March, according to PEOPLE . We don't know what happened after the cameras switched off, but given Major's bodybuilding background and training for Creed III, maybe forcing a reaction out of him isn't the best idea. Good has yet to announce her next gig after the series finale of her latest show, Harlem. Majors, who lost his job as Kang the Conqueror in the MCU, is trying to restart his career after a misdemeanor conviction in his case of domestic violence against an ex-girlfriend. He starred in Magazine Dreams, a critically acclaimed film that was released to little fanfare in March. Somewhat surprisingly, despite all the negatives attached to Major's name, the internet respected him for standing up to an obvious troll. See some of the best reactions below.

Why Folks Aren't Feeling Diddy Bodyguard Gene Deal's Response to Alleged 'Freak-Offs' With Minors
The federal trial against Sean 'Diddy' Combs on charges of sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering is underway. However, events playing out outside of the courtroom are proving to be equally, if not more, puzzling and brow-raising. Gene Deal, Diddy's former bodyguard, was confronted outside of the courthouse and his reply, or lack thereof, about his alleged 'freak off' involvement with minors was caught on camera. Now, folks are calling out what he didn't say. 'Hey G, I talked to Randy Pittman last night, a white guy, who said in 2004, you was at a party with P. Diddy, and you held him down with two minor kids,' a man off- camera asked in a TikTok. 'I did an interview with him on my YouTube last night. What do you have to say about that Gene?' 'He said you was at a Puffy party, and you gave him E pills, and you held two minors down as well as him,' the man alleged. 'He filed a lawsuit!' During the rapid fire of questioning, Deal said nothing. He was approached by a woman and spoke to her instead who was recording on her phone. Before the clip ended, Deal turned around to the man, telling him, 'I'll see you when you get inside bruh,' before walking into the building. Viewers took to the comment section of the video about Deal evading questions, with one person writing this is the 'first time I seen ole gene be quiet' and 'GENE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT INNOCENT EITHER!' A third person added, 'I always says he could have reported or stopped half the things that happened He's as GUILTY,' while a fourth wrote, 'that face he made said it all.' tiktok-7509174256056421678 'How could he not be involved when he was apart of the Diddy team,' one commenter speculated, while another person said 'the way he put his head down after he gave detail about the two children' was telling. Others wrote about the woman who interrupted the man's questioning. 'Something about the way Tisa Tells always jumps in between someone addressing Gene irritates me…I've seen more than one video of this,' one person said. 'Tisa be lowkey running interference for Dean! This the second time I see her stop gene from answering real questions,' another person claimed. In a new interview with 'The Art of Dialogue,' Deal revealed what he thinks the trial's outcome will be. He says the pressure of having to sit in the court room and listen to hours of testimony will eventually become too much for Diddy to handle – especially since he'll have to listen to all of it without being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Deal predicted Diddy, 55, will offer to give prosecutors whatever they want just to put an end to the whole thing by accepting a deal. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Gene Deal Just Dropped a Chilling Prediction About Diddy's Trial Outcome That Has Fans Bracing Themselves
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former bodyguard Gene Deal has never been shy about speaking his mind on who and what he saw while working for the former Bad Boy Records executive. He even wrote a book about it, 2022's 'Gene Deal My World of Bodyguarding a Hip-Hop Star: The Last Big Night.'Now that Diddy's federal racketeering and sex-trafficking trial is officially underway, Deal is sharing a shocking prediction. In a new interview with 'The Art of Dialogue,' Deal says he thinks the pressure of having to sit in the court room and listen to hours of testimony will eventually become too much for the disgraced music mogul to handle – especially since he'll have to listen to all of it without being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Deal predicts Diddy will offer to give prosecutors whatever they want just to put an end to the whole thing by accepting a deal. 'He can't take sitting right there and hearing all of his dirty deeds with Cassie,' he suspected. 'He's hearing all of his deeds in front of him and he ain't high. He ain't drunk. He gone break bruh. I'm telling you.' tiktok-7506775690520415518 The trial has already gotten off to an explosive start. After just over a week of testimony, Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura shared horrifying details about the alleged physical and emotional abuse she endured while involved with him – details which have been corroborated by her mother and one of her closest friends. Additionally, Combs' personal assistantshared shocking details from the now-infamous 'freak-offs.' Some who've watched Deal's interview agree that it may all be too much for him to handle. One person, who once oversaw a business portfolio that included mega-successful entertainment, clothing and beverage brands, claimed Diddy doesn't like not being the one in charge. ' a control freak NO CONTROL now,' they wrote. 'He can't take it.' But another commenter thinks Diddy is too proud to take a plea deal, writing how, 'He is too full of himself to make a deal.' Another added: 'When he snaps, he's gonna give up all the names,' while another person wrote: 'no matter the trial outcome he's done... he is canceled, any celebrity who's going to hang out with him- also canceled. theres no coming back from this.'

Tom Brady says he wasn't involved in Raiders' decision to pass on Shedeur Sanders
Tom Brady has been a mentor for Shedeur Sanders since high school, but the team he co-owns passed on the Colorado QB seven times Shedeur Sanders fell to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. A certain sixth-round pick doesn't think that should discourage him. Tom Brady, who was famously taken with the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft before he became a seven-time Super Bowl champion, discussed the Colorado quarterback's situation in a video from "The Art of Dialogue" podcast posted Tuesday. When asked for any insight on why Sanders fell, an area where there has been no shortage of speculation, Brady clarified that he had nothing to do with it, which is something you have to do when you are a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and have been reported to be helping in the football operations department: "It's a good question. I wasn't a part of any evaluation process or to see that.' When a host interjected to note that professional opinion-haver Skip Bayless has claimed otherwise, Brady had some words for him: 'I know, well, everyone's got every — you know. That's the problem with media is everyone can just say whatever the f*** they want.' Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson has reported in the past that Brady has known Sanders since high school and has helped train and counsel him over the years, a relationship that exists thanks to Sanders' father, Deion. However, rather than drafting his mentee, Brady's Raiders traded for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith and gave him a two-year, $88 million extension. They still could've selected Sanders as a quarterback of the future — Smith is 34 years old — but they instead selected star running back Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick and passed on Sanders with seven picks. Sanders ended up going to the Cleveland Browns at No. 144 overall, and the Raiders are set to go into the 2025 season with Aidan O'Connell as their backup quarterback. Shedeur Sanders has some work to do, just like Tom Brady once did. (AP Photo/George Walker IV, File) In the podcast clip, Brady revealed that he texted Sanders after the draft with some encouragement, noting that he had plenty of success after being drafted a round later: 'I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well, and I said, 'Dude, whatever happens, wherever you go, that's your first day. Day two matters more than the draft. I was [pick number] 199. Yeah. So, who could speak on it better than me, what that really means? Use it as motivation. You're gonna get your chances. Go take advantage of it.'' Where Brady's and Sanders' situations differ is that no one on the face of the earth thought Brady was going in the first round in 2000, while Sanders was widely expected to be taken in the top 10. Now, Sanders has to carve out a role in the most overcrowded QB room in the league — the Browns already had Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, taken two rounds before Sanders — just to log some playing time.
