Charlotte Hornets apologize for gifting PlayStation 5 to child – and then taking it away off camera

The Charlotte Hornets have apologized for appearing to gift a PlayStation 5 to a child during an on-court skit, only to later take it back from him off camera.

The incident, which occurred during Monday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, was captured in a post on X that now has 4.5 million views.

The post shows the Hornets’ mascot, Hugo, dressed as Santa Claus handing the PlayStation 5 to a young fan, who takes the gift with a mixture of shock and delight on his face.

However, the X user – who said the child is his best friend’s nephew – said Hornets staff later took the PlayStation back from the boy off camera and handed him a jersey instead.

Woman Admits She Lied About Duke Lacrosse Players Raping Her Nearly 20 Years Ago: 'I Made Up a Story'

The woman who falsely accused three former Duke University lacrosse players of raping her at a party nearly 20 years ago has admitted that she lied about the allegations.

Crystal Mangum, a former exotic dancer, made the confession during an appearance on the Let’s Talk with Kat podcast, hosted by Katerena DePasquale, and asked the players she had accused — Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans — for forgiveness.

The episode, which was released on Wednesday, Dec. 11, according to the campus newspaper, the Duke Chronicle, was recorded on Nov. 13 at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women. Mangum is currently in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder of her then-boyfriend in 2013, per the outlet.

During the recording, Mangum stated that she doesn’t have any regrets and “everything happens to get everybody to the point where they are, it’s all to show God’s love and his forgiveness,” before saying that she made up the allegations about being raped in 2006.

Ellison announces litigation against GLOCK for “easily converted” gun design

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced what his office is calling “significant litigation” against a major company in the firearms industry on Thursday.

During a press conference, Ellison announced his office would be filing a lawsuit against GLOCK for its semi-automatic guns, which he says can be easily modified to become machine guns.

“GLOCK has known about this problem for decades and has done nothing,” Ellison said. “A change of design could prevent these handguns from being turned into illegal automatic weapons, but Glock has turned a blind eye.”

Ellison argued that GLOCK has continually ignored the threat that modifications like glock switches and machinegun conversion devices (MCDs) pose on their firearms.

Fear in the C-Suite after UnitedHealthcare CEO gunned down


Corporations are scrambling to protect their senior executives as police warn of an elevated near-term threat against business leaders. Boards are reassessing security budgets. And CEOs are being told to delete their digital footprints.

The stunning killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan last week has shaken C-Suites across the country, forcing leaders to ask themselves uncomfortable questions about their own preparedness for a threat landscape that appears far more serious than many realized just a week ago.

Phones are ringing off the hook at top-dollar security firms to keep the captains of industry safe.

“Corporate America is nervous. People are on high-alert,” Keith Wojcieszek, global head of intelligence at Kroll, told CNN in a phone interview.

“Companies want to elevate their security posture. Healthcare is the target now but who’s next?” Wojcieszek said.
