Tatted Up Holly issued a public statement asking for distance from renewed online discussions about her past allegations against 50 Cent. The model’s 2015 abuse claims have resurfaced as critics question 50 Cent’s credibility following his Netflix documentary about Diddy, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. “With everything resurfacing online, I want to make a brief statement,” Holly wrote. “What happened in my past was my experience and I’ve healed and grown from it.” She emphasized her desire to stay out of feuds and focus on her future and daughter. The renewed attention stems from Holly’s original 2015 Instagram posts, where she accused 50 Cent of physical abuse during their relationship. Holly’s statement comes as Ja Rule launched a social media campaign attacking 50 Cent over his executive production of Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The longtime rivals’ feud reignited when Ja Rule accused 50 Cent of hypocrisy for exposing Diddy’s alleged abuse while having his own documented history with similar accusations. Let’s be real that n#### dgaf about the victims we ALL know why he did the doc… Herman’s a cancer to the culture if he cares so much then donate the profits to charities for domestic violence…— Ja Rule (@jarule) December 7, 2025 “Let’s be real that n#### dgaf about the victims we ALL know why he did the doc..Herman’s a cancer to the culture,” Ja Rule posted on social media, referencing multiple women who have accused the rapper of domestic violence. He called 50 Cent no better than Diddy and questioned his motives for the documentary. Holly isn’t the only woman to make such allegations. Daphne Joy, mother of 50 Cent’s youngest son, accused him of domestic violence in 2013 following an alleged incident at her Los Angeles home. Prosecutors charged him with misdemeanor domestic violence and vandalism. He denied the allegations but pleaded no contest to vandalism in a plea deal that avoided jail time. More recently, Shaniqua Tompkins, mother of 50 Cent’s eldest son, alleged in 2025 that he physically abused her during their relationship, including incidents in front of her daughter. She said the abuse occurred years earlier but chose to speak publicly amid renewed online discussion. The Netflix documentary explores decades of allegations against Diddy, with 50 Cent serving as executive producer. The project has generated significant attention and controversy since its release. Ja Rule has threatened legal action against 50 Cent, alleging defamation for statements made during their ongoing social media exchanges about a post claiming the rapper was involved in a freak-off with Diddy. The feud between the two rappers dates back over two decades and shows no signs of ending. I thought jug head was smarter than that posting a blatant lie to your millions of minions SLANDER and DEFAMATION… DUMMY!!! Lawsuit on the way…— Ja Rule (@jarule) December 9, 2025

The Los Angeles Lakers have won without LeBron James and without Luka Doncic this season. Now they are going to need to figure out a way to win without Austin Reaves, at least for awhile.Reaves has suffered a calf strain and will miss at least a week, per a report from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin on Friday, December 12. New story: Austin Reaves will be reevaluated in approximately one week because of a mild calf strain, the latest challenge for a Lakers team that has lost three out of their last five games https://t.co/FrSEOEMCeY — Dave McMenamin (@mcten) December 13, 2025 “New story: Austin Reaves will be reevaluated in approximately one week because of a mild calf strain, the latest challenge for a Lakers team that has lost three out of their last five games,” McMenamin wrote.As of Friday, Los Angeles had a record of 17-7, which was good enough to hold the No. 4 spot in the Western Conference.Austin Reaves’ Absence Represents Serious Setback for Lakers, Could Easily Last Longer Than One Week GettyAustin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers. Reaves’ absence is no small thing, as he is in the midst of a breakout/contract season in which he is averaging 27.8 points, 6.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds and one steal per night.The Lakers guard has a real chance at earning the first All-Star nod of his career in a hyper-talented and competitive West and profiles as the longterm wingman of Doncic once James, who turns 41 years old later this month, eventually leaves the team and/or retires.A calf strain is also the most common omen of an injury that has become the bane of NBA stars in recent years — the dreaded Achilles tendon rupture. Calf strains preceded Achilles tears for Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton during last year’s playoffs alone.There is no evidence pointing to a specific reason, or reasons, for the uptick in an injury that was once more common among older players and also harder to rebound from due to lesser medical science and treatment techniques.However, some analysts around the league have speculated that the pace of the game, which is faster than ever, and the length of the regular season/postseason combined has taken a toll on younger bodies. There is also thought that focusing on a single sport from early in a player’s life and the repetitive motions over years is catching up to players and causing the risk of Achilles injuries sooner.Prolonged Austin Reaves Injury Could Impact Lakers’ Chances at Blockbuster Trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo GettyGiannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. It is also important to note that while McMenamin’s report references a reevaluation in a week, that does not necessarily mean Reaves will return immediately after that stretch of time. And the Lakers are undoubtedly going to concern themselves more with the long game — both for this season/playoff run, and likely for years to come.However, an extended absence for Reaves could impact a potential blockbuster move by L.A. at the trade deadline in early February should the team try to use him to acquire a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.Such a deal is unlikely to materialize, as the Lakers have only one unprotected first-round pick to trade (2031 or 2032) along with five first-round swaps. That, plus Reaves, probably doesn’t get the Lakers into serious conversations for the two-time MVP and former champion, though Bill Simmons and Rob Mahoney of The Ringer speculated earlier this week that it might.“Is there a Reaves and a ton of picks and other stuff for Giannis [trade]?” Simmons asked.“We are earnestly floating Austin Reaves as the primary return in a Giannis trade, and I’m not walking out of the room right now,” Mahoney responded in relative disbelief at his own take.

The Dallas Cowboys squandered a big opportunity last week to make up some ground in the NFC East. With the Eagles dropping a surprising game to the Chargers, Dallas had a chance to put some real pressure on them in the division. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get it done against the Lions, but the season isn’t over yet.The Cowboys have another big opportunity this week against the Vikings on Sunday Night Football. They can’t control what the Eagles do, but they can notch another win and take care of their own business down the stretch.One player who could help them with that is All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs, who’s been out on Injured Reserve since Week 6 with a concussion and knee injury. Diggs has yet to be formally activated off of IR — which he would need to be if he is to play — but he’s been practicing with the team and is officially listed as questionable on the team’s injury report for Sunday.Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs on His Potential Return from Injury GettyEAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY – OCTOBER 05: Josh Reynolds #83 of the New York Jets runs with the ball against Trevon Diggs #7 of the Dallas Cowboys during the second quarter in the game at MetLife Stadium on October 05, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images) Some Cowboys beat reporters had a humorous interaction with Diggs during his media availability on Friday. He was made available for interview in the locker room following Dallas HC Brian Schottenheimer’s press conference.“Do you feel like you’re ready to play this week?” one reporter asked Diggs.“Yeah,” Diggs quickly responded.“Do you think you will?”“Yeah. Why are y’all asking me these questions? Ask him!” Diggs said with some frustration.“We did.”“All right, so what did he say?”“He said we’ll see. So now we’re asking you,” the reporter responded with some chuckles from the assembled media.“So why y’all asking me? I don’t make the rules,” Diggs responded. “That’s dumb. They gotta answer that question. But I’m ready, though,” he said with some grit.If his energy in his media availability was any indication, Diggs is ready to get back out on the field and make an impact.Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs on the Playoff Race with Four Weeks Left“I think our intensity level,” Diggs said on what the team needs to do down the stretch. “Just knowing what we gotta do to make this playoff push and just move forward,” Diggs said with a determined nod.It’ll be an uphill climb for the Cowboys to claw their way back into playoff positioning, but it’s not impossible. They’re currently two and a half games out of the No. 7 seed, but their best chances might be to catch Philadelphia for the division, not earn a wildcard bid.The Cowboys are just a game and a half back of the Eagles with four to go. They split with Philadelphia during the regular season and currently own a better division record, should a tie come into play. Starting on Sunday night against the Vikings, the Cowboys know what they have to do. Like Heavy Sports's content? Be sure to follow us.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY-TV) – On Sunday, thermostats will be turned up in the Cape Fear region as cold temperatures sweep the area. The Wilmington Fire Chief, Steve Mason said there a list of items residents should keep in mind to stay safe. The first thing concerns pipes outside your home. “If you have exposed pipes outside, if you have an outdoor well certainly make sure that they are well insulated or if you have some sort of light in there to keep them from freezing over and save yourself a lot of headaches,” Mason said. Pipes can be insulated with foam or heat tape to prevent pipes from freezing over or even breaking. Lisa Foxbower, store manager at Steven’s Ace Hardware said homeowners should also be protecting their exterior faucet with a foam protector. “If your outside faucet bib breaks you will have internal damage underneath the house, it could also flood underneath your house once it comes back,” Foxbower said. What should you do if you have a four-legged friend outside. “Make sure your pets are taken care of cedar shavings in their houses, for outside pets, make sure they have water if they are outside make sure their water doesn’t freeze,” Foxbower said. If using a space heater, Mason said its best to use them with caution by making sure they are UL listed or meet safety standard to prevent fires. “Don’t overload your outlets with those things they draw a lot of power,” Mason said. For homes that use a kerosene heater, Mason urges owners to get them serviced to make sure they are operating properly. “Those things can put off a lot of heat but they can also put off a lot of carbon monoxide if they aren’t burning properly,” Mason said. Last but certainly not least, Mason encourages checking in on loved ones. “If you’ve got someone that may or may not have adequate heat in their home you might want to check on them and make sure that they’ve got plenty of warm blankets or some sort of safe heating source,” Mason said.
