A24 turned Chris Hansen away from a screening of "Primetime," a film based on his life and career, after he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and now the former "To Catch a Predator" host says he is weighing legal action. Hansen showed up at A24's New York headquarters last week to see the Robert Pattinson-led film for the first time. He left without watching a single frame. The studio required him to sign a screening NDA before entering, and Hansen refused. The confrontation caps a months-long dispute between Hansen and the indie studio over a movie that draws directly from his career catching online predators on national television, a project he says was made without his meaningful involvement and, so far, without his consent…Open

A left-wing publication bankrolled by George Soros's Open Society Foundations sent Michigan voters a mailer that falsely identified Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed as a "veteran", and its president's explanation only made things worse. The Michigan Independent, a partisan outlet designed to look like a nonpartisan local newspaper, mailed an unsolicited print edition to voters across the state in August with a headline describing El-Sayed as a veteran. El-Sayed has never served in the military. His own campaign condemned the error, and the organization's president offered a shifting series of excuses that collapsed under basic questioning. The episode exposes how a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit network, funded by half a…Open

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom says he was wrongly removed from a WNBA game after Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud confronted him courtside, and now he plans to test the league's own eligibility rules. Freedom told Newsmax's "Finnerty" program that he attended last Sunday's Indiana Fever, Chicago Sky game at Wintrust Arena in Chicago to support Fever player Sophie Cunningham, who had publicly stated that biological men should not compete in women's sports. He wore a T-shirt that read "WOMAN, noun. Adult human female." By the third quarter, he was gone, escorted out by security after a shouting match with Cloud, then banned from all future Chicago Sky home games. The 11-year NBA veteran insists he did nothing to warrant removal. He…Open

A Massachusetts jury began deliberating whether a mother who strangled her three young children was criminally responsible for their deaths, a question that hinges on whether postpartum psychosis stripped her ability to tell right from wrong. Lindsay Clancy, 36, sat in a Plymouth, Massachusetts, courtroom on Thursday as prosecutors and her defense attorney delivered closing arguments after more than four weeks of testimony. Clancy does not dispute that she killed five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan with exercise bands in the basement of the family's home in Duxbury, a coastal town south of Boston, in January 2023. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. If the jury…Open

Sen.
