Zumba prostitution scandal, pickle feud & DeuxMoi is super over it ๐๐ฟ๐ง
Hi Wrecklings!
Hope everyoneโs having a better day than the FAA is. If you need a little break from all the โ that Prince Harry is spilling or the garbage that Gwen Stefani is spewing, hereโs your weekly ๐๐ฟ๐ง roundup!

''Lifetime turns Zumba prostitution scandal into made-for-TV movie''- This is the initial Vanity Fair piece for those of you wondering about the source of inspiration.
The influencers have committed to chaos this week:
''โSame thing happened to me!โ: Woman says shampoo and conditioner she purchased at Burlington caused her hair to fall out''- I guess this is just another case of the Monday(s).
''โItโs causing mayhemโ: TikToker films Target customers struggling with new anti-theft shopping carts''- Incredibly dumb to have the wheels lock up only feet into the actual parking lot.
''NYC Bans Students and Teachers from Using ChatGPT''- Seems like most of the usage of ChatGPT would be used for homework, so curious about how effective that ban will be.
''The Absurd Rise of $BONK Shows That Nobody Learned Anything In the Crypto Crash''- This is why we canโt have nice things in Web3.
''Why C-SPANโs Camera Work Is Suddenly So Interesting''- Finally, C-SPAN has had its moment!
There have been tons of new layoffs across tech and fashion:
''Literary Icon DeuxMoi Doesn't Care About Petty Celeb Gossip''- Iโd imagine running that account would be more fun if they did but ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ.
โThe Air India passenger who urinated on a woman mid-flight has been fired by Wells Fargo, where he was a vice presidentโ- No. No. No. No.
''Con Artist Admits to Phishing Plot That Duped Scores of Famous Authors''- One of our fave podcasts, Scamfluencers did an episode on this scam, itโs well worth a listen!
โItalian tennis star under investigation for allegedly using FAKE Covid vaccination paperwork to get into the countryโฆ as she prepares to play in the Australian Open this monthโ- Ballโs in your court, Australia.
''The Logan Paul-Coffeezilla Cryptozoo Controversy Explained''- Coffeezilla has become one of my favorite niche influencers, especially since he was the one who got SBF (of FTX) to admit to fraud on camera.
''Journeyโs Neal Schon accuses Trumpโs spiritual adviser of improperly accessing bandโs bank account''- Hmmโฆ is this like Yoko Ono-but-generally-grifter-situation?
''In lawsuit, local pickle-maker accuses Wahlburgers of misrepresenting its pickles''- We love bottom-of-the-barrel news.
''Prosecutors Drop Murder-for-Hire Charges Against Ozarks Realtor''- Highly recommend reading the initial article, โBotox, Speedboats, and an Alleged Murder Plotโ which delves into the realtor allegedly wanting to "bump off grandma"
Also, this is not scandalous but it is delightful:
