Chicago Sky's DiJonai Carrington derailed WNBA All-Star headlines after publicly accusing her ex-girlfriend, Las Vegas Aces forward NaLyssa Smith, of cheating with multiple players around the league.

Some may remember Carrington over previous headlines such as poking Fever superstar Caitlin Clark in the eye, rants against President Donald Trump, or her postgame confrontation with veteran columnist Christine Brennan.

This time, the Chicago Sky guard turned her attention to Smith, her longtime girlfriend since their Baylor days.

Carrington aired the allegations on Threads, posting:

"Since mfs wanna be funny today ima be hilarious! yes, nalyssa cheated on me with Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye +++ many more."

The accusations painted a dramatically different picture from the one Carrington and Smith had previously shared publicly.

The pair began dating at Baylor and remained together after reaching the WNBA. They briefly reunited as teammates on the Dallas Wings during the 2025 season before Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Aces.

When they confirmed their breakup later that year, Carrington told fans they had simply "grew in different directions."

Carrington's latest accusations painted a much different picture. Smith, Kelly and Nye have yet to publicly respond.

Carrington is scheduled to face Smith and Kelly on Aug. 1 when the Sky host the Aces, followed by a Sept. 19 matchup against Nye and the Dream.

Apple News and Google News displayed no negatively framed headlines about progressive Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in the top 20 morning stories reviewed after Feb. 10, according to a Media Research Center study published Friday as voters prepared for next month's primary.

MRC President David Bozell warned that the feeds' selections could leave voters without a complete picture of a candidate.

"Most Americans don't search dozens of news websites every day," Bozell said. "They open Apple News or Google News and read what’s presented to them."

DEM SENATE HOPEFUL ABDUL EL-SAYED RECOUNTS SMASHING VODKA BOTTLE AFTER BEARD CRITICISM

The conservative media watchdog said it identified at least 104 stories from right-leaning outlets about El-Sayed's record, statements and policies that did not appear in the feeds it reviewed. Apple News and Google News each featured only one headline about Michigan's Senate race, MRC found, and neither headline focused on controversies involving El-Sayed.

MRC said its researchers tracked the top 20 Google News stories each morning from Nov. 1 through July 21 and Apple News from Nov. 3 through July 21. Researchers searched for "Michigan," "Abdul" and "El-Sayed," then used sentiment analysis to classify relevant headlines as negative, neutral and positive.

MRC said researchers logged the top 20 stories each morning at 8:30 a.m. ET on a "clean" computer, clearing search histories and cookies before every review to prevent personalization. The group said it tested whether sources and story types changed throughout the day before launching the tracker and found no statistically significant differences. Researchers examined Google News’ default home tab, not its search engine.

ABDUL EL-SAYED SAYS RALLYING WITH HASAN PIKER DOESN'T MEAN HE ENDORSES 'AMERICA DESERVED 9/11' REMARK

In a statement to Fox News Digital, MRC President David Bozell connected the latest findings to the group’s previous investigation of Google News coverage involving former Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Platner was forced to exit the race after a rape accusation from a former girlfriend that was the latest of numerous scandals and controversies during his candidacy.

"MRC’s investigation found that Google News did not feature more than 250 stories covering controversies involving Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner," Bozell said. "During the same period, 69% of the outlets featured in Google News’ top news selections were left-leaning, compared with just 3% that were right-leaning."

Bozell said the findings raised questions about whether the platform was giving users a comprehensive view of major political stories.

"Google News presents itself as a comprehensive news product, but Google News consumers should not have to wonder whether major, newsworthy reporting about candidates is being left out of what they see," Bozell said.

"Our findings raise serious questions about whether Google News is providing users with the complete picture they expect," he said.

Fox News Digital reached out to Apple, Google and El-Sayed for further comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Stories identified by MRC addressed questions about El-Sayed's use of the physician title, his campaigning with far-left streamer Hasan Piker, his acceptance of an endorsement from Arab American Political Action Committee leader Osama Siblani and his support for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE and shifting funding away from police departments.

El-Sayed also faced scrutiny after CNN's Manu Raju asked him in April whether he considered the Israeli government to be as evil as Hamas.

"Yes, killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil," El-Sayed said. "Hamas: Evil, Israeli government: Evil. We can say both."

The Aug. 4 primary narrowed to El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens after state Sen. Mallory McMorrow suspended her campaign. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Stevens on Friday.

The findings concerning El-Sayed followed an earlier MRC study alleging Apple News and Google News failed to promote at least 112 stories scrutinizing Platner between November and May.

Google disputed that analysis, saying it relied on a single daily snapshot from one account and failed to account for updates, interests and location.

"These claims are totally false and based on a completely flawed methodology," a Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital in reference to coverage of Platner.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's recent admission that he lacks the legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done little to ease ongoing tensions between himself and the Jewish community. Jewish leaders told Fox News Digital that they are still concerned about the mayor's rhetoric, which they believe deepens divisions at a time of heightened concern over antisemitism.

Israel has remained one of the defining points of tension between Mamdani and the Jewish community in New York City since his campaign. When running for mayor, Mamdani said that he would seek to arrest Netanyahu, despite many pointing out that he did not have the authority to do so, which he ultimately admitted on Tuesday.

The issue resurfaced this week after Mamdani released a video explaining that while City Hall lacks the authority to arrest Netanyahu, he believes the prime minister should be held accountable under the International Criminal Court's warrant.

MAMDANI GOES BACK ON CAMPAIGN PROMISE, SAYS NYC CAN'T ARREST NETANYAHU

In a video posted on social media, Mamdani called Netanyahu "a war criminal" and "the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people."

"My administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here. It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant," he said.

Nevertheless, he added that the Israeli leader was "not welcome in New York City."

Jewish leaders who spoke with Fox News Digital said the mayor's legal concession did little to address the community's concerns about Mamdani's rhetoric, which they believe fuels division.

Additionally, during a news conference Wednesday, Mamdani was asked how he believed New Yorkers should respond to Netanyahu's expected visit for the annual United Nations General Assembly in September.

"I think the bedrocks of our city is protest. It is something that has been a part of what makes our city so special, that New Yorkers can express themselves, whether they are in support or in opposition, no matter on whatever topic," he said.

Orthodox Union Executive Vice President and COO Rabbi Dr. Josh Joseph said the remarks were especially concerning given recent protests over the Israel-Hamas war.

"We know that the protests in the last few years have gotten violent at times," Joseph told Fox News Digital. "So, he's willing to risk inciting further violence based on misinformation."

Manhattan Jewish Experience (MJE) Founder and Director Rabbi Mark Wildes said that the mayor's remarks demonstrated a broader hostility toward Israel rather than criticism of a government official.

"What's upsetting to us in the Jewish community is that he's saying these things just to continue to drum home his message that the Jewish state, the state of Israel, has no right to exist," Wildes told Fox News Digital.

Wildes said that Mamdani's criticisms, in his view, have "nothing to do with Netanyahu's policies" and rather it was about "the Jewish people's right to defend themselves after being attacked, which is the only thing which is being done in Gaza and Lebanon."

The MJE leader added that the mayor's comments, particularly his sentiment that Netanyahu was "not welcome," risk further alienating Jewish New Yorkers at a time when they already feel vulnerable and disconnected from City Hall. He said the remark encapsulated how Jewish New Yorkers were feeling.

"For a leader in New York to say, 'You're not welcome here,' is upsetting, obviously, but it's consistent," Wildes said. "There's nothing he's saying that's inconsistent with the way he ran, with the kind of agenda that he has, he's been pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism since day one, and he's just showing his true colors."

Mamdani has been critical of Hamas — he condemned anti-Israel protesters chanting in support of the terrorist group earlier this year — but he has been criticized for being more strident in his rhetoric against Israel.

Joseph similarly warned that Mamdani needed to "remember that his words matter" as the leader of New York City.

Despite their criticism of the mayor, both Wildes and Joseph remain confident in the resilience of New York's Jewish community. Wildes argued that the heightened political tensions would not deter the Jewish community's connection to Israel or New York City.

"Am Yisrael Chai is not just a slogan. Am Yisrael Chai means the Jewish people are alive. Israel is thriving, and Israel is continuing to grow," Wildes said.

Mamdani's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Rising country music star Waylon Wyatt is recovering after a life-threatening battle with sepsis forced him to cancel several major career milestones.

In his latest video, Wyatt showed off his debut record, writing in his social media caption, "We shot this before I bout died but Dustpiles Vinyl are available to order now!! Get ‘em while they’re hot!"

Earlier this week, the 19-year-old singer shared a health update with fans, revealing he was discharged from a Montana hospital and is in Nashville seeking additional medical care.

MIRANDA LAMBERT SAYS SHE'S 'ADDICTED' TO SHOOTING GUNS ON HORSEBACK IN NEW WILD WEST HOBBY

"Hey y'all wanted to give a little update on everything," Wyatt wrote on Instagram. "I got out of the hospital in Montana earlier this week and have been in Nashville with family seeing specialists this week. I'm so grateful to be on the mend and can't tell y'all how much I appreciate all y'alls support through this. 

"It broke my heart to have to cancel the dustpiles release show, UTBS [Under the Big Sky Festival] and my Opry debut that was supposed to be tonight. Those were bucket list shows for me but I'll do everything I can to get back to big sky and we'll have a new Opry date for y'all soon."

The frightening diagnosis came July 17, the same day Wyatt released his debut album, "Dustpiles."

Instead of celebrating the milestone on stage, the singer shared a video from his hospital bed.

"Album's still dropping tonight," he said. "Ya boy's got sepsis."

Wyatt remained hospitalized until earlier this week before traveling to Nashville, where he is now continuing treatment alongside his family.

Despite the devastating setback, the teenage country singer remained focused on thanking the fans who helped launch his career.

"There's so many people I want to thank rn," he continued. "First of all to you guys I wouldn't be where I am without y'all and the fact that I'm even able to tour and put music out in the first place is such a blessing and wouldn't be possible without you. My mom and pops I wouldn't be here without y'all and I'll never have the words to thank you properly I love y'all so much and thank you for being here with me through everything."

The health scare comes as Wyatt's career continues to gain momentum. 

The Oklahoma native is a rising star in the country music world. The viral success of his song "Everything Under the Sun" on TikTok boosted the 19-year-old's career into the country music spotlight.

Fox News Digital reached out to Wyatt’s representatives for comment.

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham ruffled plenty of feathers with her recent comments regarding protecting women's sports.

Several media personalities and even some fellow WNBA colleagues were quick to bristle at her statement about keeping biological men out of girls' sports, but the Indiana Fever guard has not backed down.

The latest person to take umbrage with Cunningham's comments is a familiar and unlikely one, though, as childhood friend and podcast co-host, West Wilson, took to X to voice his displeasure with "right wingers" turning the trans in women's sports debate into a mountain of an issue.

WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS WNBA STAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM AFTER SHE SPEAKS OUT IN SUPPORT OF PROTECTING WOMEN'S SPORTS

"Transgender athletes in American sports is such a borderline nonexistent issue that right-wingers have convinced a massive portion of people in our country that these people are a threat to sports in America when mathematically, that's not the case at all," Wilson said.

He continued by claiming that by platforming the issue, politicians in particular are sowing divisiveness and "isolating" trans people.

"There is, like, 10 transgender athletes in all of the NCAA," Wilson said. "I think there are unique questions that can be handled on individual bases, but to allow this to take our attention from housing, healthcare, wars, all the other actual harmful s–t in our country is dumb."

MEGAN RAPINOE SAYS EFFORTS TO BAR TRANS ATHLETES FROM WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE 'ATTACK ON WOMEN IN SOCIETY'

There are plenty of things wrong with what Wilson said, namely that transgender athletes in female sports is solely a "right wing" issue.

Plenty of sane people on both sides of the aisle have voiced their displeasure with biological men invading female spaces, so to paint this as a fringe right crusade is disingenuous.

It's also worth noting that he goes out of his way to mention NCAA athletes but nothing about youth or high school sports.

While the issue of transgender athletes in college sports is still an issue worth fighting, many people are far more concerned with this happening at the youth and high school level, something that OutKick has covered extensively in the past.

Finally, it seems we've gone from "this isn't happening" to "it's only happening a little," representing a classic slide down the proverbial slippery slope.

What's perhaps even more interesting in all of this is how Cunningham and Wilson will work around this difference of opinion.

Cunningham has made her stance pretty clear and even doubled down on it, while Wilson appears to be completely on the other side.

While some political differences like tax rates can be amicably disagreed on, the transgender issue continues to be a hot-button one.

It remains to be seen how the two will handle their differences, but suffice to say it doesn't sound like either will be budging anytime soon.

Riley Gaines, the host of "The Riley Gaines Show," torched USA Today writer Nancy Armour over her recent and controversial Caitlin Clark column.

In the opinion piece published earlier this week, Armour compared the lynching of Emmett Till to Caitlin Clark putting "Black" and "queer" WNBA players "in danger."

"It shouldn’t need reminding this country has an awful history of Black people being harmed, even killed, in the name of 'defending' White women. The irony of the WNBA's All-Star Game is that it's happening this weekend in Chicago, the hometown of Emmett Till, who became an icon of the civil rights movement after his tragic murder," Amour wrote.

"The local art gallery is currently hosting an exhibit imagining his life if he hadn't been lynched. While it’s incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark to recognize the broader implications of her actions being weaponized. "

Of all the bad takes about Clark, Gaines said Armour’s was the "worst one by a mile," adding that she was dumbfounded by the comparison.

"Do you realize what Nancy Armour is doing there? She's connecting Emmett Till's lynching to Caitlin Clark's talent and skill set and behavior on the basketball court. Excuse me?" Gaines said on a recent episode of "The Riley Gaines Show."

Gaines continued her excoriation of Armour, calling the writer "insane" for comparing Till’s lynching to Clark’s actions on the basketball court. Till was a 14-year-old Black teen who was abducted, tortured and eventually lynched in 1955 Mississippi after an accusation from a White woman

"These people are insane," Gaines said. "They have lost their ability to think rationally. That is literally dead and gone. In what world do those two things connect? Honestly, even after reading the piece I don't know where she's going with this."

Gaines proceeded to call Armour an all-time "rage-baiter."

"Maybe it's just like all-time rage bait. Like dropping Emmett Till's name in an article about the WNBA All-Star game, that's got to be an all-time rage baiter. I don't know, maybe I'm falling for it. Maybe this is what Nancy Armor wanted," Gaines said.

Armour apologized for invoking Till in her column and called it an "inartful comparison."

"In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till. I intended to connect the issues the WNBA is currently facing with its All-Star Game being hosted in Till’s hometown of Chicago," Armour wrote in an apology posted Thursday on Bluesky.

"I obviously did not provide enough context for that."

The drama that shadowed coach Mike Vrabel during the offseason due to his relationship with NFL reporter Dianna Russini was nowhere to be seen Friday when New England Patriots players reported for training camp.

Vrabel must feel he's not only survived but surmounted the ongoing nature of the saga because, well, the thing is not a public topic now as his team gets ready for its first practice on Saturday.

PATRIOTS COACH MIKE VRABEL BREAKS SILENCE ON DIANNA RUSSINI PHOTOS THAT LED TO 'DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS'

Vrabel, in his second year as the Patriots coach, met with reporters for more than 14 minutes on Friday to kick off the start of camp.

And he fielded not one question about the Russini scandal or anything connected to it.

It was all football – which Vrabel deftly handles like Ted Williams did fastballs back in the day.

Vrabel was asked about the status of second-round draft pick Gabe Jacas, who remains unsigned. Reporters indeed concentrated six of their 20 or so questions to Vrabel on the Jacas topic.

How's the contract negotiations?

How's his health?

Football stuff.

But, again, nothing about the coach and the overriding issue he faced starting April 7 when the New York Post published photographs of him and Russini, then working for The Athletic, enjoying private time at a pool, and in a hot tub, and holding hands and embracing at an Arizona resort before the NFL annual meeting.

Those photos kicked off consistent national coverage that sometimes bordered on cringey – including other photos of the pair at a bar or other events while their spouses were not present. They also predictably led to something of a crisis within the Vrabel family.

Vrabel, in fact, removed himself from the final day of the NFL draft so that he could be with his family and said he was taking time to seek counseling.

But on Friday, nobody asked if the counseling sessions are over or continue.

One would think that if a Super Bowl contender's coach is in counseling, which he made public, someone might wonder if the sessions continue during a hectic training camp.

Or possibly bleed into the season.

Somebody might want to know if Vrabel thinks the counseling succeeded. Or failed. Like, what has changed for Vrabel as a result of those sessions he so publicly announced he was about to undergo?

There was no question to Vrabel at the podium about any of that or anything else having to do with the Russini saga.

We already know Vrabel isn't going to be fired, or even disciplined, for being part of the embarrassment and unwanted attention he brought on himself, the Patriots, and the NFL as a result of this story.

But Friday's presser sealed the fact Vrabel has successfully avoided a major distraction to start training camp.

That actually is his first victory of the season.

Russini, meanwhile, has clearly lost. She resigned from her job at The Athletic and the media company has apparently replaced her with a new so-called insider. She remains at the heart of an internal investigation by the New York Times, which owns The Athletic, with the results of that not yet published.

So barring more facts coming to light, such as the publication of the investigation, Vrabel skates. If he didn't get asked about his counseling sessions and family status on Friday, the chances that happens going forward shrink daily.

So, yes, Vrabel is 1-0 already to kick off training camp.
