Aussie mum urges parents to ban kids from watching Peppa Pig after noticing 'insane' detail: 'I'm shocked'
A mum has called on fellow parents to stop letting their kids watch Peppa Pig after she noticed her toddler son mimicking the TV character's 'bad behaviour'. Kelly Arvan, from Victoria, said her three-year-old son Kia had started impulsively saying, 'You're not my best friend' to everyone around him. At first, the mum-of-two was confused because she didn't know where he had picked up the catchphrase - but she asked him to stop repeating it, and he did. A few weeks later, Kia was watching Peppa Pig when the main character suddenly blurted out, 'You're not my best friend anymore' - stopping the mum in her tracks. 'It's insane. I have watched back episodes myself... and Peppa isn't a good influence at all. I'm shocked,' Kelly told Daily Mail Australia. The mum said she has since banned her son Kia from watching the show because she doesn't agree with the way Peppa treats her little brother George. 'It worries me because Peppa is really mean to her little brother. My three-year-old son Kia has a seven-month-old brother Kian and he treats him so kindly and loving so I would never want Kia to get a bad influence from Peppa,' Kelly said. 'It's a great warning for other parents who are totally oblivious like I was.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Hasbro, who owns Peppa Pig, for comment. The catchphrase 'You're not my best friend' appears in multiple episodes of the iconic children's TV show, including one where Peppa accuses her best friend Suzy of cheating during a card game of snap. 'I don't want to play with you anymore,' Peppa exclaimed, as Suzy, replied, 'I don't want to play with you anymore.' 'I am not talking to her,' Peppa said as she pointed her finger at Suzy. Peppa's mum nervously laughs it off, before responding: 'I'm sure they'll make it up... They are best friends.' However, Peppa disagreed, snapping back: 'It's not funny,' prompting Suzy to storm off, saying 'We are not best friends anymore.' In the next scene, Suzy calls Peppa and says, 'We can be friends again... if you say, "Sorry"'. Peppa responds, 'I'm sorry I said you cheated, even though you did cheat.' The conversation quickly falls apart, ending with Suzy saying, 'I'm sorry you were ever my best friend' before abruptly hanging up. Kelly was shocked when she realised her toddler had picked up the phrase from the show, promoting her to make a video warning other parents. 'Warning to all parents who let their children, specifically toddlers, watch Peppa Pig,' she said. The mum said other parents had previously warned her that Peppa Pig came across as 'rude', but she never thought twice about letting her boy watch it. 'About a month ago, he started going around to everyone, saying: "You're not my best friend... You're not my best friend",' Kelly recalled. 'And he was saying it quite often and I kept saying to him, "Where are you learning this? That's not nice to say to someone. You're not allowed to say that anymore." And he stopped saying it.' Over the weekend, the family was enjoying some quiet time on the couch while Kia was watching Peppa Pig when Kelly suddenly heard the phrase. 'I hear Peppa Pig saying, "You're not my best friend anymore". I look at the TV and I look at Kia and I've just turned off Peppa Pig. I'm like, "You're not allowed to watch Peppa Pig anymore",' he said. 'I'm in shock. Now I kind of see the behavioural pick ups just from seeing that. I'm actually in shock.' The mum said she now understands where her son picked up some of the catchphrases after noticing a few other unusual behaviours in recent weeks. 'I've been seeing little things like this happened the last couple of weeks, and I'm like, "Where are you learning this behaviour?",' she said. 'It's bloody Peppa Pig.' Her video has been viewed more than 300,000 times - with many parents agreeing with her - some even confirming their kids no longer watch Peppa Pig. 'Peppa Pig is a brat, I banned my kids when I noticed their energy shifting,' one said. 'Oh yes it's bad as. She fat shames her dad and everything. We stopped watching Peppa in our house years ago,' another shared. 'I couldn't stand Peppa Pig. My niece would always say, "I can't do it" and she'd never try to do things and yep... it was from that annoying pig,' one shared. 'Could not agree more! Peppa Pig is a Bully! My kids are banned from watching,' another added. '100 per cent my niece is now banned from that show because her mother experienced the same things. Pepper just sooks when she doesn't get her way, that's not how we should be influencing our kids into thinking that way - it won't be tolerated to behave like that,' one revealed. While many 'oblivious' parents had no idea the show was teaching their kids negative catchphrases. 'OMG STOP! I was wondering where my toddler learnt this,' one said. Some parents and teachers suggested their kids picked up the 'You're not my best friend' from childcare and school. 'My daughter doesn't watch Peppa Pig and 100 per cent got this from childcare and kindergarten,' one shared. 'Unfortunately I work in childcare and the "You're not my best friend" comment is age appropriate especially through that three-six age group. I see it year in and year out constantly. Peppa Pig or not - it's a faze they all go through,' another said. However, one mum chimed in to point out where kids at daycare were really hearing the phrase. 'It's likely because there are children at childcare that watch Peppa Pig. My daughter has just started using this phrase a week ago too and got it from daycare,' she said.

Hundreds of teens run off from Orange Park Mall amid crackdown on bad behavior. What we know
A crackdown on bad behavior at Orange Park Mall, sparked by reports of disturbances by unruly youths, sent hundreds running July 5 amid a massive presence by Clay County sheriff's deputies. No arrests or injuries were reported immediately as deputies swarmed to get the crowd under control, according to social media posts and videos that went viral overnight. Neither Clay County Sheriff's Office officials nor Orange Park Mall management could be reached for comment on July 6. However, Sheriff Michelle Cook said in a July 7 statement emailed to the Times-Union that "one juvenile civil citation was issued, a number of kids were detained, and parents were called for pickup" during the incident. The Sheriff's Office warned on Facebook the morning of July 5 that it would be out in force that evening after learning that a "big reunion was planned" at the mall at 1919 Wells Road. "And our feelings were hurt we didn't get an invite! So in good fashion, we will be out and about all over Clay County to keep the peace, and if we have to we will play the party crashers!" the Sheriff's Office post said. Mall management also posted an advisory that morning, saying it would strictly enforce its code of conduct. It warned that "violations may result in removal from the property, loss of shopping privileges and/or criminal prosecution." The mall posted a link to the code of conduct on its website. At 7:30 p.m. July 5, the Sheriff's Office announced on Facebook that people needed to immediately come get their children if they were at the mall. That announcement triggered 1,200 comments as of 10:30 a.m. July 6. Deputies could be seen about 8 p.m. surrounding groups of teenagers at the mall. A Sheriff's Office spokesperson told Times-Union news partner First Coast News that deputies responded to a group of teens causing "disturbances" there. Some commenters reported seeing groups estimated at 20 to 100 teenagers running from the mall across Wells Road and Blanding Boulevard as sheriff's deputies worked at crowd control. Many social media posters voiced support for the Sheriff's Office and mall officials. Others decried the necessity for the crackdown. And some denounced troublemakers, as well as their parents for failing to raise their children right. One witness posted: "A lot of the stores closed early. My spouse and I were in shock. And parents really do need to know what their children are up to." Another said parents need to step up. "No kids should be at the mall without adult supervision. Enforce the rules! We use to back in the day, but we were taught how to be respectful and responsible. Most kids these days are raising themselves and could care less about others! It's such a shame," the post read. Another called on Clay County officials to create more activities for youths so they will have something to do besides cause trouble at the mall. "Kids congregate there because there is nothing for them to do in Orange Park except skating rink and movies. Therefore they find and create trouble. … I'm not excusing bad children or bad parenting, but idle hands & minds do the devil's work. You want to reduce crime, give these kids something to do ( a lot of them may be in 1/2 absent parent homes due to parents working, drugs, or incarceration)." Opened in 1975, Orange Park Mall is the Jacksonville area's second-oldest indoor shopping mall. The weekend incident was the most recent disturbance involving teenagers at the 953,000 square foot shopping center. 2014 teen disturbance: Crowd of teens involved in weekend incidents at Orange Park Mall, Chick-fil-A Past incidents date back to at least 2014, Times-Union archives show, and have happened sporadically since then.

White Lotus star Jason Isaacs calls out superstar as 'worst bully ever' as he details 'bad behavior' on set
Jason Isaacs, the British actor known for his prolific career alongside Hollywood's biggest names, got candid about the troubling 'bad behavior' he's witnessed on set throughout his decades in Tinseltown. At 62, Isaacs boasts an impressive resume, having starred in major films such as Armageddon with Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis, The Patriot with Mel Gibson, Black Hawk Down with Josh Hartnett, 2014's Fury with Brad Pitt, and, perhaps most famously, the Harry Potter franchise alongside a host of A-list stars. Isaacs shared stories about some of the wild antics and difficult experiences he's had with co-stars, including one prominent actor who once pushed him out of a shot, in a revealing interview with Vulture. 'Oh Jesus. Did worse than that. Was the worst bully ever and a global icon,' Isaacs said. He continued. 'Did all the old tricks of doing a completely different performance off-camera than on. 'Yeah, it sucked. I'd never seen anything like it. Before, I would've licked the ground that this person walked on.' He didn't stop there, describing other examples of toxic behavior on set. 'Mostly, what I judge on set is bad behavior,' he continued. 'It's selfishness, cruelty, bullying, or people complaining to the person who's getting them dressed, who doesn't get in a year what they earn in a day to pick their filthy underwear off the floor. 'That, or not turning up, or going home early, or thinking they know better than the director, or being on crack and calling prostitutes to their trailer. 'I come across all that stuff.' When asked why he didn't name any of the offenders, Isaacs explained, 'I'm not so stupid as to even give hints or clues about who those people are.' He added, 'Because I have stories. I know where all the bodies are buried. 'I often fantasize about doing a junket and telling the truth, and when I win the lottery, possibly that will be the case.' However, Isaacs emphasized that exposing the truth about colleagues or on-set experiences serves little purpose beyond self-sabotage, noting, 'Acting is all about secrets.' In the same interview, Isaacs, who appears in the third season of the hit HBO series Whire Lotus as wealthy businessman Timothy Ratliff, revealed just how much he and his castmates were paid per episode. 'That's absolutely true,' he told the outlet, confirming that they earned $40,000 per episode. He added, 'Generally actors don't talk about pay in public because it's ridiculously disproportionate to what we do — putting on makeup and funny voices — and just upsets the public 'But compared to what people normally get paid for big television shows, that's a very low price.' Still, Isaacs admitted he was just as excited as fellow cast members— like Patrick Schwarzenegger and Parker Posey —to join the buzz-worthy series. 'But the fact is, we would have paid to be in it. We probably would have given a body part.' Isaacs was asked whether, given his long resume, he had any complicated feelings about earning the same as less-experienced actors like Schwarzenegger. He replied, 'Do I mind that I wasn't paid more than other people? I never work for money. I mean, I've done all right. 'People will think I have huge stockpiles of money but sadly, what I've done rather immaturely is expand my outgoings to match my incomings and pretty much spent everything I've earned over the years.'
