The high-powered lawyer representing ex-JPMorgan Chase banker Chirayu Rana in his sex-slave case against executive Lorna Hajdini has stepped down. Daniel Kaiser filed a consent to be “discharged” on Tuesday, and according to court documents, Rana will now represent himself for the time being. Kaiser, known for representing various Epstein accusers, vehemently defended his client’s claims before suddenly vacating his role. The news comes as Rana, 34, was set to appear in court Tuesday afternoon over his request to be referred to as “John Doe” for the remainder of the case. In his original April lawsuit, the former VP alleged that Hajdini, 37, drugged him and forced him into non-consensual sex by threatening his bonus. He claimed that Hajdini said she “owned” him and insulted him with racial slurs, allegedly saying: “I bet your little Asian, fish head, wife doesn’t have these cannons.” Hajdini has denied all of Rana’s allegations and, in response, has filed a defamation suit against Rana. JPMorgan Chasa has backed Hajdini throughout the proceedings, saying, “We fully support Lorna and her right to defend herself and protect her reputation. As we have said from the outset, we don’t believe the allegations against her or the firm have merit.”

‘90s star Andrew Keegan revealed how much money he still earns from his days as a teenage heartthrob. “I think it’s really funny because I’ll get different shows obviously, but I’ll get one cent checks and it costs like 40 cents to send,” Keegan said during an episode of The McBride Rewind. “One cent is not worth my time.” The 47-year-old says his most lucrative role was as Joey Donner in the 1999 rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You, which starred Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. “I think ’10 Things’ is the biggest residuals,” Keegan revealed, adding that his other TV roles also contribute significantly to his earnings. “There are still residuals that come from all those shows, like $10, $20, $50, $80, right?” he added. Keegan had various roles in the ‘90s, including 7th Heaven and Party of Five, as well as later appearances on CSI: New York and Related. Many TV stars have spoken openly about their residual checks, which have varied widely. Eve Plumb from The Brady Bunch revealed that, under different rules in the 1970s, she earned no residuals from her role as Jan Brady. On the other hand, Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay, revealed that the cast of Friends reportedly makes a staggering $20 million a year from reruns.

A teenage boy was bitten by a shark as he tried to haul the animal onto his boat. On Monday, the 17-year-old was out on the water with his father and one other person near Galveston off the Texas coast when the incident occurred at around 3:15 p.m., People reported. The boy’s father wrapped a tourniquet around the wound to stem the heavy bleeding, and Coast Guard crews added a second one after racing to the scene, according to the magazine. The group had been offshore for hours before their boat broke down by the jetties on the way back to the Galveston Yacht Basin. The species of shark has not been confirmed. The teen stayed awake and responsive throughout the rescue and was taken to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston for treatment, PABC13 and Click 2 Houston reported. His current condition is unknown.

The chairman of Starbucks Korea’s parent company has apologized and begged for forgiveness for an advertisement that seemed to mock a deadly 1980 military crackdown against pro-democracy protesters. The coffee chain declared May 18 to be “Tank Day” to promote a large cup size it calls a “tank,” and adopted the slogan “Thwack it on the table!” But May 18 was also the anniversary of a democratic uprising in the southern city of Gwangju that was brutally suppressed with tanks and helicopters, leaving hundreds of people dead. The “thwack” slogan was also reminiscent of a police statement trying to cover up the death of student activist Park Jong-chol, who was tortured and killed in custody. Police claimed Park died suddenly after investigators “hit the desk with a thwack.” Chairman Chung Yong-jin, whose Shinsegae Group owns a 67.5 percent stake in Starbucks Korea, issued a television apology Tuesday to the pro-democracy protesters and their families, his second apology since May 19. Within hours of the campaign’s launch, Shinsegae canceled it and fired the chief executive of Starbucks Korea, whose marketing team said they never meant to mock the protesters.

Nearly 100 drones fell out of the sky during a major Australian light festival, with footage capturing the devices splashing into the water and smashing onto a waterfront wharf in front of bystanders. The malfunction occurred during the Star-Bound drone show at Vivid Sydney, an annual festival held around Sydney Harbour. U.K. company Skymagic, which operates the show, said “an unforeseen change in the radio frequency environment occurring after take-off” caused 89 drones to trigger “failsafe landing procedures in response to compromised positional accuracy.” The impact was audible from a considerable distance. “The sound of them crashing on the wharf was considerable even from probably 10 to 15 or 20 meters away; you could hear them physically crash and smash onto the cement marina,” a Darling Harbour worker named Robert told national broadcaster ABC. Skymagic said none of the drones fell outside safety boundaries. Festival organizers apologized for the “disappointment and inconvenience caused to attendees” and canceled upcoming shows pending a full assessment by Skymagic and government agencies. The Star-Bound show features up to 1,000 purpose-built drones across 22 planned performances over 11 nights. It had only launched the previous day.

Two-time Super Bowl winner Manny Fernandez has died at the age of 79. Fernandez was a defensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls in the 1970s. The team announced his death on Thursday after he passed away on Sunday in Ellaville, Georgia. No cause of death was released. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Manny Fernandez, a member of the 1972 Perfect Team, a two-time Super Bowl champion, Ring of Honor member, and an anchor of the Dolphins’ legendary No-Name Defense,” the statement said. Fernandez played a major role in Miami’s historic undefeated 1972 season and delivered one of the standout performances in Super Bowl VII, recording a sack and 17 tackles against Washington. One of his most famous moments came later that season when, despite battling illness and a high fever, he left a hospital to play against Buffalo and scored a touchdown after stripping the ball from Bills quarterback Dennis Shaw. The Miami Dolphins remembered him as “one of the best players in Dolphins history.” Fernandez played for the Miami Dolphins between 1968 and 1975.

A skydiver has died after he collided with another skydiver mid-air. The horrific collision happened in Washington state on Sunday during a planned group skydiving session at Skydive West Plains. The other skydiver was injured in the incident, Adams County Sheriff’s Office said. Authorities identified the victim as Randy Hubbs, 70, of the Kennewick area in southeastern Washington. The second skydiver was identified as Nicole Klein, 52, of the Colville area. West Plains Skydiving told local media that both were experienced jumpers using their own equipment. The company said Hubbs had completed more than 800 jumps, while Klein had logged about 900. The two skydivers collided during their descent, after which Hubbs reportedly became incapacitated and lost control of his parachute canopy, according to the sheriff’s office. Witnesses said Hubbs drifted away from the designated landing area, appearing unresponsive with his head and arms down before disappearing beyond a hill. Authorities said a total of 11 people took part in the group jump. Officials also noted that weather conditions were not believed to be a factor in the incident. The incident is under investigation.

The body of a missing student has been found almost a month after they went missing. Murry Foust, 22, was en route to class at Northern Kentucky University in late April, a friend said, and was reported missing three days later on April 30. No foul play is suspected. Foust’s remains were located in the nearby city of Wilder, Kentucky, after a lengthy hunt led by the Covington Police Department with a coalition of volunteer groups, friends, and official agencies. “The body of Murry Foust has been located in Wilder by an independently organized search party,” Covington PD said Sunday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Foust family and their loved ones during this difficult time and ask that their privacy be respected as they grieve.” It added that “At this time, there are no indications of foul play. The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Campbell County Coroner’s Office.” Foust was last seen in the Latonia neighborhood of Covington, with friend Charlie King writing in an urgent appeal that “Murry never made it to class and has been missing ever since.” “Murry has never done this, and was in good spirits before they went missing,” King wrote.

Mango heir Jonathan Andic has quit the fashion firm after he was arrested following his billionaire father’s suspicious 2024 cliff plunge death. Andic had become Mango’s holding company’s vice president six weeks after his father’s death, but the 45-year-old said he is now stepping down while he fights to maintain his innocence, according to Euronews. His father Isak, 71, died after falling more than 320 feet while hiking at Montserrat near Barcelona in December 2024 with his son. Police initially ruled it an accident, but Jonathan, the only witness, is now considered a suspect after allegedly giving inconsistent statements. He said he was ahead on the Les Feixades trail when rocks fell and his father slipped, but investigators say his account does not match forensic evidence. Authorities have also alleged that the relationship between Andic and his father had deteriorated over Jonathan’s “obsession with money” and that he had recently learned about a change in his father’s will. The Andic family maintains his innocence, and Mango leadership continues to publicly support him.
