Rita Ora appears to moan about her OWN Primark collection as she reveals 'lazy' fashion red flag - but fans are quick to spot her mistake
Rita Ora appeared to inadvertently moan about her own Primark collection after she revealed her fashion red flag on Wednesday. The singer, 34, has been working with the high street fashion chain since 2023 and has had multiple collections with the brand. However the star put her foot in it in an interview with Off Trend HQ as she was asked what her fashion red flag is. Rita was quick to answer as she began: 'I don't like seeing linings in like things. 'If you're wearing a long skirt, I don't wanna see that there's a lining halfway through your leg.' Agreeing with her the interview added: 'Completely sheer or cover everything.' The singer, 34, revealed her fashion red flag are skirts where you can see the lining, but fans were quick to point out she has a skirt that does just this as part of her collection (pictured) Rita continued: 'Ughhhh it's lazy, fix it.' However eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that Rita is in fact guilty of this red flag herself as they rushed to the comments to reveal her blunder. The star's most recent summer collection features a lace midi skirt at £14 which features the design she hates - a visible lining. Fans penned: 'So, like the one she brought out with her name on for Primark?' 'Is she aware of her Primark range?'; 'I just knew her collection would have something similar'; 'You caught her out big time'; 'Do you know how funny this is'; '@Rita Ora I can see someone had nothing to do with her own collection'. Rita has previously been accused of 'not caring' after she was hit with criticism from some fans f or her partnership with international fast fashion brand Primark back in 2023. She was quickly hit by backlash from a group of fans for working with a fast fashion brand after launching a sustainable activewear brand Human Beings. Fans penned: 'So, like the one she brought out with her name on for Primark?' Rita Ora was sure to set pulses racing as she slipped into an array of skimpy bikinis while modelling her new Primark summer collection Fans accused her of 'not caring' for venturing into fast fashion, while others shared their doubts that the millionaire and globally famous popstar still shops at the budget high street retailer. Reacting to the partnership, one wrote: 'Fast fashion is destroying the planet, or don't you care.' However the star is still working with the brand two years later and she set pulses racing as she slipped into an array of skimpy bikinis while modelling her new Primark summer collection last month. The Anywhere hitmaker wowed as she then showed off a satin burgundy bikini while posing in front of an idyllic sunset by the sea. Inspired by 'long days under golden skies and unforgettable nights', Rita's new summer collection sees her donning backless dresses, floaty maxi skirts and relaxed crochet pieces, perfect for the season.

"I Cut All Ties With Him": People Are Sharing The Infuriating "Last Straw" That Made Them Finally Stop Talking To Someone
Recently, we published stories from people who chose to cut someone out of their lives forever after witnessing their "red flag" behavior. After that, even more folks chimed in with their experiences of ending their relationships with friends, family, and coworkers. Here's what they had to say. 1."I had gotten friendly with a girl at my workplace several years ago. We bonded over our mutual love of cats. One day, she said she had to have her cat put down, and I expressed sadness and asked her sympathetically about it. Her reply turned my stomach: Her boyfriend was moving in and was upset that the cat missed the litter box occasionally. It was in the basement, which he wanted to turn into his man cave. She didn't try to re-home her cat; she had her put down. I gave her the cold shoulder after that. She didn't even seem sad that she had the cat put down; she was very matter-of-fact about it." —ginnyjensen Related: 2."My father had just passed from cancer. My best friend of 24 years was with me at his apartment to help me clean. She did nothing but dig through everything he owned and ask me for stuff. She actually made a bigger mess by ransacking closets, drawers, and cupboards. I must have said 'no' to the wrong item because she suddenly screamed, 'It's not fair that you're getting stuff just because your dad died!' I instantly saw my respect for her shatter and fall to the ground like shards of glass." "I've never felt such rage. I largely ignored her and silently finished my tasks. We had an hour-long drive home, and the whole way, she complained that she had better things to do that day than help me. I could not believe how jealous, materialistic, and childish she was. It's been eight years, and I haven't spoken a word to her since. Oddly, a couple of years later, when my mom passed, she left a voicemail to offer her condolences. I couldn't believe her gall to offer to comfort me after being so awful about my father. To this day, she's been toxic and continues to tell our mutual friends how inconsiderate I've been to her." —Bentley, 52, Michigan 3."I had a friend I absolutely adored. He was funny and generous, and (as a bonus reason to love him) he had five dogs that he doted on. Just a salt-of-the-earth type of guy. Pretty well off, too. He also had a wicked sense of humor. One day in 2015, I was working at my bar, and he came in wearing a bright red trucker hat with 'TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT' emblazoned across the front. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen, and I could not stop laughing! When I went to high-five him, I realized he was not laughing." "He never looked back and became one of the pissed-off, paranoid carbon copies we see today. I swear that hat shaved 50 points off his IQ. The last time I spoke to him was over Facebook. He had posted that he paid 40% in taxes the previous year and how Trump's plan would fix it. I pointed out that the highest tax rate was 37%, so maybe he just needed a new accountant. I also pointed out that even at his relatively high income, he didn't make nearly enough to benefit long-term from Trump's tax plan. He unfriended me, and I haven't seen him since." —zydecosdeb 4."I was going through chemo and was wearing beanies to cover my bald head. My good friend and her man came for a visit one day. I opened the door to be greeted with, 'I knew you would look ugly, so I brought you a bandana,' and he literally threw it at me. My friend laughed, but I didn't. We sat down outside, and he immediately lit a joint. That's OK, I'm 420-friendly, and I smoked to keep my nausea at bay, but when I declined to smoke his, he called me a bitch. Again, my 'friend' just laughed. I stood up and said sorry, I'm really not up to this visit right now and went inside, leaving them on my deck. They left, and I never talked to either one of them again. She tried to stop by again many times, but I eventually blocked her." —Anonymous, 60, Canada 5."When I was 20, I had an older friend who I hung out with constantly. She lived with her boyfriend, so I hung out with him a lot as well. One night he sent me some dick pics and came onto me in some texts. I called my friend, sobbing because I had to tell her what her boyfriend was doing, and she didn't believe me. She called him and then called me back to say he said it was an accident and he meant to send them to her instead. Bitch, he used MY NAME. She continued making excuses for him, so I cut them both off. Best decision I ever made." —pepperhart 6."Someone in my extended family was having a tough time. She didn't have a job or money, so I offered her the opportunity to start over at my place, where I had a spare room and could help her for a month. She seemed to love my toddler, and I thought she'd help me around the house. She turned into a total diva, wanted a makeover, special foods and beverages, and left the outdoor jacuzzi running day and night. She cost me over a thousand dollars in debt, and when I helped her get the money to pay me back, she suddenly ran off that day." "It turns out she stole things and tore up a print of me and my son from our first three months, keeping the frame I bought. This was the only print of that size I had and the only one of that pose with the photographer. She also left chocolate out and sickened my dog the day she left. Worst human ever; I can't relate to that part of the family." —Anonymous, 62, Hawaii Related: 7."My brother had a high-level accounting job. He boasted about firing a woman for taking a pack of bankers' boxes to move. She had been at the company for 35 years and was close to retirement. She lost everything. Her son also worked at the company, and he loved the fact that he had to face him every day." —Anonymous 8."I had a couple of dates with a guy. The only physical contact we had was a hug, and sexual stuff was never brought up. I found out my best friend was dying from cancer. When I told him, he sent me a photo of himself in bed, naked. When I understandably got upset about that, because WTF, he kept insisting I was only upset because he wasn't hard in the photo, and it was supposed to cheer me up. I kept trying to get him to understand so that, hopefully, he wouldn't do that to someone else, but he really wasn't getting it and kept making it all about himself." —carsteli 9."It was a (now ex) boyfriend of mine. In the middle of a hot summer day, his mom let their old, near-blind, and deaf dog outside on the street. They live in an urban setting, so their house is next to a very busy street where cars always speed. Well, a dog catcher picked the dog up hours later (HOURS???). I went to the animal shelter to make sure the dog was all right. Thankfully, he was OK, if just a bit confused. I immediately called my then-boyfriend and told him, 'I found the dog; he's at the pound; you can come pick him up and take him home!'" "I can't remember what he said exactly, but there was silence for a few moments at first, and then he said he wasn't coming. This wasn't because he was at work or otherwise occupied; he just didn't want to. Now, I'm a huge animal lover. If one of my dogs had been rounded up by the dog catcher like that, I would do everything in my power to get them home. I didn't have the resources to take the dog in at that moment, so getting my boyfriend down to pick him up was the only option. However, I later learned that he wouldn't have been able to pick up the dog anyway: The animal shelter wouldn't allow a dog in such a pitiful condition to return to the household that had led him to that, and since he still lived at home, he was barred from retrieving the dog. Overall, my boyfriend's indifferent, limp-dick reaction to his dog being at the shelter made me realize that we had very different core values, which is intolerable for me in a relationship like this — an instant ick if you will. He became an ex-boyfriend after I had ripped him to shreds for what they did." —wafflebears198 10."I worked part-time at a store. I was in my late teens and had been dating a guy for over a year. He attended and lived on campus at a private school. He started canceling our weekend visits due to being 'gated.' I was working on a Saturday with a new girl, and she was going on and on about her new boyfriend. Well, my boyfriend showed up and looked so uneasy. He left, and the new girl asked me if I knew that guy. Sensing something was askew, I said no. She then told me he was her boyfriend, and they had been dating for three months. I then told her I was dating him. He phoned me the next day. I hung up and never saw him again." —Anonymous Related: 11."Once, I asked a guy I knew from my writing group on a dinner date. I planned to take the bus home, but he offered me a ride. I knew him pretty well at that point, so I said yes. Halfway through the ride, he said, 'I could kidnap you right now, and nobody would probably notice.' I got home safely, left the writing group, and never spoke to him again." —michelangelofangirl 12."I was good friends with someone in college. After graduation, we saw each other now and then. During that time, he started getting into political conversations, which made me uncomfortable. When I saw him for the very last time (we rarely communicated by that point), it was clear he was deep down the rabbit hole. He said the Clintons were responsible for all major celebrity deaths, from Robin Williams and Paul Walker to Prince and Bill Paxton, because 'they threatened to expose them.' Safe to say, I cut all ties with him and have no idea what he has been up to the past several years." —robertolmstead90 13."I went on a date with this guy I worked with when I was 19 or 20. I worked in the bank call center, and he was a director somewhere within the organization. He was much older than me, maybe in his 30s. We went to dinner; he ordered himself drinks and appetizers, and we had dinner. Everything was great. When the bill came, I asked if we were splitting it. He looked me dead in the eye and said, 'I don't pay for my meals. Women pay for me.' I said, 'Welp, I'm not paying for you, so we can split the bill for my portion of the meal, and you'll have to figure out the rest.'" "He got very upset and asked how it would look if we paid with two cards — that it was tacky. So he paid the bill, then drove me to an ATM in a dark parking lot, and I had to reach over him to get money out to pay him for dinner (this was 20 years ago, so no Venmo). We got back to my house, and he tried to make out in his PT Cruiser after all that." —clevergoose56 14."This guy I work with always seemed like a pretty solid, good guy. He'd do anything to help someone else out. One day, we were chatting about the state of the world and how Millennials have been through so many big world-changing events that seemed to kick off with 9/11. He laughed and said, 'I don't believe everything they told us about that either. It's just another big lie from the government. You also thought COVID was real, so it makes sense, I guess. You need better reading material.' At that moment, I lost all the respect I had for him as a person, and it was the last time I spoke to him for any reason besides work issues." —p46bf3ddf0 15."I have a close and old friend who I've known for over 40 years. During COVID, she became convinced that the vaccine was very dangerous. I'm in my late sixties, so I was going to get one, no matter what. We were FaceTiming, and I told her that I had gotten my shot. She began to yell at me, berating me for having gotten the shot. She would not stop. Finally, I told her I would not continue to listen to her yelling at me. I hung up and haven't heard from her in over three years. Sad." —Anonymous 16."My baby was born prematurely at 30 weeks, with several health issues, and spent nine weeks in the hospital, during which time he contracted sepsis (which he blessedly recovered from). Three weeks after our baby left the hospital, we went to a drinks function my husband's work was holding. While there, we were chatting with a male coworker of my husband; they had worked together for about three years and knew each other casually." "When the coworker asked about our new baby, we filled him in and told him that I had had an emergency C-section suddenly due to experiencing intense pain and our baby being in distress. (My husband wasn't able to get to the hospital in time; it happened so fast, and I had been all alone.) The coworker responded immediately to us telling him all this by saying, "You had a C-section? Ha, if your son is gay, he'll be gold star gay 'cause he's never been in a vagina!" Then, he laughed loudly at his own joke. I was so stunned, as was my husband. We said nothing." —slcreativewritingclasses Related: 17."One of the teachers I work with told a bunch of students that climate change was fake, COVID was fake, the moon landing was fake, the recent solar eclipse was list goes on and on. Another teacher I work with proudly proclaimed that if she didn't have enough chairs, 'certain' students 'could sit on the ground like the dogs they are.' These are supposedly educated people who are with kids for six to seven hours a day. How they both haven't been let go is beyond me." —ssstege11573 18."Our best friend was dealing with the loss of his wife from cancer. The day before her memorial service, our 'friend' (who was more like a brother to both of us) texted him to see if he'd be interested in investing in his new company. No 'How are you holding up?' or 'Is there anything I can do for you?' Nope. The selfish bastard only thought of himself. My friend and I quickly cut him out of our lives after 20+ years of friendship." —Anonymous, 40, Florida 19."My stepbrother arrived a few days after my mother passed to 'help get things in order.' When he saw that my mom had changed her gifts to actually give him more than he was previously allotted, but not as much as she had left me (I cared for her in her final year), he left in a dither. Two days later, he came back and wanted to just 'ignore' her changes. He also started accusing my mother and me of being thieves because he believed money and stocks were missing. I had picked my mom's ashes up no more than three hours before he started these accusations." —Anonymous 20."I had just moved from Los Angeles to Nashville and had an open house party for neighbors. I was used to open-minded and friendly religious talk in California. At our open house, when I commented that allowing others to have their own beliefs was important to religious tolerance, my new neighbor declared that I was possessed by the devil because only the devil himself would say something so nefarious and evil. I invited her to leave the party and never spoke to her again." —Gary, Nashville 21."I'll never forget where I was when I politely folded up my newspaper, paid for my coffee, and walked out on someone forever. I had met him studying language and culture abroad in Japan. We had gone to the same college and remained friends upon returning to the States. He had invited me to coffee when suddenly he aggressively explained to me that black and gay people were the cause of inflation. He said it in an obvious way as if he expected me to agree with him or argue. He wanted a reaction. Instead, I walked away and have never looked back." —dazzlingdolphin50 What red flag made you end a relationship? Let us know in the comments, or fill out this form to remain anonymous.

Cheapskate shocks woman with $250 bill for ‘dating expenses' — broken down on an Excel spreadsheet
Falling in love can come at a high cost, nowadays — especially if you're dating a penny-pincher with access to Microsoft Office. Nickeling and diming, wining and dining. While the acts seem to be mutually exclusive, a frugal fella proved he can be both a cheapo and a wannabe Prince Charming, creating a comprehensive Excel spreadsheet and demanding his inamorata repay him nearly $300 for their romantic outings. And now, she's wondering if his money moves are a 'huge red flag.' 'He's been pursuing me, then sent me a spreadsheet asking to be reimbursed for our dates?? Am I overreacting?,' a 23-year-old woman asked Reddit of her 32-year-old miserly man. Splitting the check on dates has become a hot-button issue online in recent months. While some ladies remain adamant that it's the dude's duty to cover all costs, a select few sirens don't mind going Dutch (kinda). But this Redditor is hopelessly on the fence about pursuing a romance with a skinflint. The troubled twosome, from Florida, has been an item for 'a little over a month now,' spending quality time together 'at least [four] times a week,' the Gen Z gal explained. 'He was very persistent in pursuing me,' she added, 'constantly texting, making plans, asking me to go on runs, bike rides, beach days, and inviting me to dinner, bars and even paying for Ubers to and from his place.' Much to her chagrin, however, the sweet treats were no cheap thrills — and she learned that the hard way, when he stuck her with the bill. 'Hate to ask but can [you] Venmo or Zelle me some [money] for the last few weeks?' read the guy's payback ask, per a screenshot of the text message, accompanied by a snapshot of his spreadsheet. The detailed document included dates and purchases, such as cigarettes procured on June 28, a $50 bar tab, and an $89 restaurant fee. The tight-fisted Romeo offered his would-be Juliette a to-the-penny breakdown of exactly how much dough he shelled out on each occasion. For her share of the fun, the unsuspecting sweetheart's grand total came to a staggering $249.31. 'I know [you] got me some stuff which I'm appreciative of, and definitely happy to cover most things like our date night and drinks and stuff,' continued the Scrooge via text. 'But [you] never paid me for the first round of stuff from a few weeks ago, and money [is] a little tight for me and a source of stress [right now with] working two jobs, etc.' Cutting her a bit of a break, the money-grubber agreed to let his paramour pay only $100 of the $249. But, after she sent the funds, he requested an additional $90 for a small debt she owed his buddy. And, unsurprisingly, the shakedown left the Gen Zer feeling let down. 'I truly can't believe it,' she whined on Reddit, claiming that prior to pressuring her for a repayment, her love interest was a chivalrous dreamboat — he'd even waited patiently for their first kiss. But the itemized charges felt like a kiss-off. 'It felt transactional and weirdly formal, especially since he was the one initiating nearly all the plans,' said the disillusioned darling. 'What's even more confusing,' she added, 'after sending this, he still insists on seeing me and continuing to date. Like, you want to invoice me and kiss me?' 'I've picked up the tab quite a few times [on] dinner, drinks, etc., without making a thing of it,' she ranted. 'I've never asked him to pay me back or keep score. I thought we were just getting to know each other and splitting things organically, like adults, especially since he's about 10 years older than I am.' 'So,' she questioned in conclusion, 'am I overreacting or under-reacting…[is this] a huge red flag?.' And social media is shaking its head, 'Yes.' 'Sending you a spreadsheet is giving American Psycho,' warned a commenter. 'RUN.' 'Relationships shouldn't feel like a business transaction with spreadsheets and invoices. Fairness and trust go a long way without all the drama,' another agreed. 'This guy is a giant cluster of red flags waving around,' an equally stunned spectator wrote. 'A 32-year-old man who cannot keep his own expenses and budget in check, especially working two jobs, has other major issues going on.'

Love Island fans spot major ‘red flag' in explosive Casa Amor recoupling – did you?
LOVE Island fans have branded Meg a "red flag" after noticing a concerning trait. Throughout the series, questions have been raised about her man Dejon's motivations after a number of flirty exchanges with bombshells when Meg isn't around. 4 4 4 Viewers have noticed she has a habit of taking the girls to task, rather than having it out with Dejon, 26. Last night's recoupling saw her snap at Andrada when the Casa Amor girl said she'd enjoyed one on one chats with Dejon in the other villa. One viewer wrote on X: "Why is Megs first response to always fume at the girls but not with her man???" Another said: "Meg please you have done exactly the same, and never shame the guy you're with for doing that but only the women." A third posted: "Meg ask YOUR MAN questions not the girls." Another previously said: "Meg is rotten to other women, such a red flag." During Casa Amor, Dejon grew close to Andrada, 27, and admitted there was a "big spark" between them. However, it was Ben who decided to recouple with the nail technician. Meg was delighted that Dejon's head wasn't turned and he had been loyal to her. But viewers have claimed the real reason Dejon returned alone was because Ben had first pick, leaving Dejon no choice but to stick. Love Island villa left in shock as devastated Emily is dumped by Tommy for Casa Amor beauty in brutal recoupling Other fans said Dejon wants the best of both worlds - as he was able to return alone and appear loyal, but he can also continue to get to know Andrada after she made it into the main villa. "Ben brought back Dejon's mistress... Meg is not going to rest," said one. Stating her own intentions at the recoupling, Meg said to host Maya Jama: "As much as he says I'm his Meg, I hope he's my D." Meg looked nervous as Dejon emerged alone, and it soon kicked off when his Casa connection was unveiled. Andrada said she enjoyed getting to know the boys. Maya then cheekily asked who, to which she said Dejon, leaving Meg fuming. "I f**king knew it," Meg exclaimed, looking angry. Andrada then explained she and Dejon had been getting to know one another "a little bit". Meg was seething by the revelation and snapped, asking Andrada: "What does a little bit mean?" Andrada said it was nothing disrespectful, "just one on one chats". Dejon flirted up a storm with Andrada during his time in Casa. He told Andrada that she was his "favourite bombshell". He also alluded to how he wants to take her back to the main villa so they can continue to get to know one another. 4

N24 Red-Flagged in Second Hour Due to Power Outage in Nürburgring Pit Building
Last year, a seven-hour red flag was raised at midnight due to extreme fog; this year, it's a red flag for the pit building losing power. The ADAC Ravenol 24 Hours of Nürburgring can not catch a break when it comes to weird stoppages. Just 90 minutes into the 24-hour race, action was halted when the pits momentarily lost power. Although the power came back relatively quickly, the red flag lingered, as the fueling rigs needed to be reset. Teams also needed to reboot their computers that were plugged into the power as well. Luckily, the tower didn't lose power, which would've resulted in a much longer pause to racing action. Nine leaders had started on lap 10 when the red flag came out and had to complete the 12.9-mile circuit to return to the pits slowly. In the Intercontinental GT Challenge, when a red flag is thrown, the race resets to the final lap completed by all drivers. The race will restart with nine laps completed. The red flag was raised after the field completed their first round of pit stops, with the Kondo Ferrari holding onto the lead ahead of the No. 17 GetSpeed Mercedes and the No. 34 Walkenhorst Aston Martin of Mattia Drudi.
