What\u2019s the tea? An article published on July 22 claimed that Neeko had been arrested in May 2018 for assaulting a spouse or cohabitant \u2014 a claim that Dexerto was able to verify, with Fresno court documents showing she had been arrested on charges of corporal injury. Neeko has since responded to the incident, claiming in private messages with YouTuber \u2018Scarce\u2019 that she had not been sent to prison as the article claimed, but was instead required to complete 12 anger management classes. \u201cThe article is talking about an incident in which there was an argument where I hit the person who was abusive to me,\u201d she clarified. \u201cWhen I hit him, it was a reaction to what was happening in the moment and how I was feeling \u2014 I knew it was escalating to where he was going to hit me, and I was genuinely angry and hating him for the way he treated me.\u201d Despite the 2018 incident, Neekolul has managed to escape her abusive relationship and work toward building a huge presence on social media \u2014 one that has continued to climb upward for the star.

Kjellberg wasted no time clowning on Rogan\u2019s comparison of video games to martial arts, initially calling him a \u201cboomer\u201d for the obvious generational gap between the podcast host and younger gamers.

I think that\u2019s what makes life fun, doing different things.\u201d PewDiePie\u2019s comments come in wake of other top names in the gaming space weighing in on the debate, with Ninja, Dr Lupo and more also airing their own opinions on a topic that has since gone viral across social media.

What\u2019s the tea? After a brief hiatus, \u2018Braddison\u2019 has once again taken over the net, with the TikTokers being caught out on dates by paparazzi and even engaging in not-so-subtle PDA \u2014 and the internet wants to know why they keep denying their relationship status. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDNP07thbTm\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Hall appeared on a July 30 episode of the \u2018imPaulsive\u2019 podcast, where he finally cleared up the confusing situation by admitting that he simply hasn\u2019t mustered up the courage to officially ask Rae out yet. \u201cHonestly, I\u2019m not like a really romantic guy,\u201d he said. \u201cLike, I am so bad at expressing my feelings and stuff. \u2026but I am gonna do something, if I decide, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s do it\u2019 \u2014 it\u2019s gonna be dope.\u201d (Topic begins at 7:32) While it might seem odd to fans, it appears that this couple is simply taking things slow and \u201ctesting the waters\u201d \u2014 a welcome change from the fast-paced marriage between Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul.
