BRANDI Glanville has sparked concern amongst fans after looking unrecongizable with a swollen face. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to social media to post the concerning selfie amid her health battle. Brandi, 52, last year reveal she was diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema , which she claimed stemmed from filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Brandi didn't mention her health condition, but captioned her photo 'sick it!'. Fans immediately flooded her with support, with one saying: "You are still beautiful queen. Your true fans are here for you, you are not alone. I love you." A second wrote: "Awwww brandi....im sooooo sorry....you’ve had nothing but hardships... sending all prayers for you...you’ll come back girl and smash it just watch." "Oh no Brandi, sending prayers that you get better," said a third. While a fourth commented: "Brandi, this just breaks my heart for you 💔 I'll definitely be keeping you in my prayers.. Love ya." Brandi recently broke down in tears as she claimed Bravo and Andy Cohen ruined her life and left her "broke and sick." She said that despite an already rocky relationship with Bravo, her life truly went crashing downhill after Caroline Manzo accused her of sexual harassment during the taping of Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco in 2023 She said that after the allegations were made against her and Bravo did not step up to defend her, her career was destroyed, and other work she had lined up vanished. In her exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Brandi vehemently denied wrongdoing in the Caroline incident. She pointed to a filing in the Real Housewives of New Jersey's lawsuit against Bravo and NBC Universal. Brandi said: "With the Caroline Manzo situation, I didn't do anything wrong. That's why she's not suing me, because I didn't do anything wrong. And I think she's suing Bravo, because she wants money. And what would she get from me? My rental? I don't have any money to give her. "I think that Bravo hung me out to dry for a storyline, for a show, knowing that all of that press would cause me to lose other jobs, and it did, and they didn't care. They don't care about me." Brandi's had a tough go with Bravo. The model-turned-reality star was brought on RHOBH as a "friend" for season 2 in 2011 after her divorce from actor Eddie Cibrian. Brandi previously penned an exclusive article for The U.S. Sun about her painful split from the actor. She was brought on as a full-time cast member from season 3 through 5, but was let go in 2015 after she made comments about Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa on Watch What Happens Live. She was subsequently sued for defamation. The reality stars settled the suit in 2017, and Brandi was ordered to pay up and publicly apologize to Joanna. Brandi said the suit cost her $500,000 in total. Brandi returned to the show as a guest in the 6th, 9th and 10th seasons. In 2022, Brandi, along with several other Housewives, appeared on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. In 2023, it was announced that Brandi would be returning for the 5th season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, which was set to premiere in 2024. Brandi was removed from filming after an allegation of sexual abuse was made by Caroline Manzo, which Brandi denied. That season of Ultimate Girls Trip has yet to hit the air. Caroline sued Bravo, as well as Warner Brothers, and NBC Universal, who own the Bravo brand, over the alleged abuse, but did not pursue legal action against Brandi. In a filing from the suit, obtained by The U.S. Sun, Bravo producer, Lisa Shannon claimed that Caroline told them she did not feel "sexually violated," during the incident. "At that point, Manzo revealed to us, for the first time, that she had suffered sexual trauma as a child and that Glanville’s actions that evening had triggered memories of that childhood trauma. "She told us that she did not feel sexually violated, she felt 'disrespected' by Glanville." the producer said in the filing.

Ministers warned of cuts as ‘every pound’ of spending to face reviewThe month of November has seen major announcements from Spotify in the podcasting space. In mid-November Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek spoke at the Spotify campus in Los Angeles about initiatives for uninterrupted video podcasts, audience-driven payments, and the new Spotify for Creators platform. “We can provide an experience for your audience that is superior to any platform. And by giving you, the creators, another path to monetisation beyond ads, we’re freeing you up to spend more time doing what you love: creating,” said Ek. Creators are taking notice of the changes. Why? Spotify is one of the largest platforms in the world for creators, with more than 640 million users and more than 250 million subscribers. Video consumption is rapidly growing on Spotify. To find out a little more about the changes on the platform, Mediaweek spoke with Prithi Dey, podcast lead AUNZ at Spotify. Dey explained the platform is no stranger to video content. “We’re seeing a lot of engagement with video content on Spotify. We’ve had video podcasts since 2019.” “For audio-only podcasters, they are being an opportunity to grow via Spotify.” There’s good reason to consider adding video to audio-only content. More than 250 million users have watched a video podcast on Spotify, and nearly two-thirds of podcast listeners say they prefer podcasts with video. There are now more than 300,000 video podcast shows on Spotify Dey: “Our focus is really trying to give creators from all different backgrounds the opportunity to grow their audience, monetise their content and give them the tools they need to be able to engage with their audiences.” With no option for audio creators to offer subscriptions to podcasts on Spotify, their monetisation options were restricted. Now with the ability to share Spotify subscription revenue with creators, it provides a new revenue stream. “The reason we’re doing that is to basically have a creative, better user experience for the audience because they get an uninterrupted experience of being able to view video podcasts on Spotify,” said Dey. “We’re able to do this because we are going to be paying the video podcast creators the premium revenue from subscribers. “ It will also help video creators, like traditional YouTubers for example, decide if they want to bring their video content to Spotify because they will essentially have three revenue streams that they could leverage from the 2nd of January, 2025.” Prithi Dey “Spotify for Podcasters has been rebranded to Spotify for Creators,” explained Dey. “It’s an easy-to-use platform and the whole purpose of rebranding is to create a holistic ecosystem that is easy to use. It’s free to use, and those thinking about bringing their content onto Spotify can easily upload content through Spotify for Creators. “They can easily look at their analytics, they can easily distribute to all other platforms, and our job really is to support them on that process. We’re having multiple with creators and partners from all different places about how they can actually bring their video podcast onto Spotify and how to use Spotify for Creators. “We try to make it as easy for them as possible. We also have a help section on Spotify for Creators, which is easy to use and comprehensive. I often direct a lot of new creators there and all their questions are usually answered, and it’s a really easy process if they have that content.” Spotify has reacted to what its audience wants, explained Dey. “In 2021, 43% of podcast listeners said they prefer video podcasts. In 2024, just three years later, that number’s grown to 64%. We are seeing increased interest from audiences coming to Spotify to watch video content. “ In Australia, the number of podcast listeners engaging with video podcasts has surged around 25% year over year. This is why we are investing in this space a lot more.” See also: Every Thursday in Mediaweek’s Podcast Week When asked about what rates for Spotify users, Dey said: “ I don’t think there’ll be any major surprises if I say true crime is always popular. Entertainment in general, sport and comedy, too are the categories that we always see doing well. Given that we’ve got quite a young audience, entertainment skews towards younger demographics and sport is always really popular. “Long-form content is where we are going and what we’re encouraging creators to upload. When I say long form, we’re thinking 15 to 30 minutes. That’s something the audience can be consuming when commuting or maybe walking.” There is another initiative aimed at helping grow podcast audiences – podcast clips. These are basically short-form teasers that can be uploaded by creators. The purpose of the clips is to drive awareness to the long-form content.” For podcasters who have “baked-in ads”, including host reads, nothing changes. “That will not be impacted,” advised Dey. “If the podcaster or the video creator has those baked in ads, mayb sponsorships that they set up and manage directly. Those host reads and sponsorships will stay in the podcast or the video podcast. “Even if you’re a premium user and you don’t get those third party dynamic ads, the host reads will still be there. The creator gets a hundred percent of that revenue.” While Dey listens and watched a wide range of content for her work, she has a few regulars she doesn’t miss. “I’m watching more content now than I did previously because it’s actually a really good user experience when I can watch and listen to a podcast. It is easy to toggle between the two. “I recently started watching a new show called Swag on the Beat . They’re comedians, with a massive social following. They just launched a couple of weeks ago. “Also Relatables with Jake and Ottie, that’s a video show as well. So those are two local shows. In terms of audio podcasts, I like to listen to a lot of current affairs and I listen to the news. “I listen to Guardian podcasts and The Daily Aus . I love a good documentary series too.

Former NFL head coach Mike Mularkey admits to leaking false information to media just before he was fired READ MORE: Why this could be the worst weekend of the entire NFL season By JAKE NISSE Published: 22:06, 21 November 2024 | Updated: 22:09, 21 November 2024 e-mail View comments Former Titans head coach Mike Mularkey has admitted to leaking fake information regarding his future with the franchise before being fired in 2018. Mularkey's Titans went 9-7 during the 2017 regular season before losing to the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs. And while he knew that defeat would spell the end of his time in Tennessee , he told NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport that he was actually about to get a contract extension, as he revealed in a new interview. 'The best thing I did there at the end... was when I got called in that Monday morning after the New England game. I knew they were going to fire me,' Mularkey began on Action Sports Jax's 'Brent & Austen' , per A to Z Sports . 'So Sunday night, I called Ian Rapoport, and I said, 'Hey, I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to break it to you - I'm getting a new contract in the morning.' Mike Mularkey is seen after the Titans lost the divisional round game to the Patriots in 2019 Ian Rapoport was told by Mularkey that he was getting a new deal, and reported as such Do you remember @RapSheet reporting Mike Mularkey was going to get a contract extension from the #TitanUp but was fired instead? I think we might know why... @BrentASJax @A_Train_92 pic.twitter.com/2YlyRg7d2k — BrentDanStuartMarcelAlivia (@ActionSportsJax) November 20, 2024 'And he reported that. It was all over the country [that] I was getting [a] contract, knowing that I was going to get fired, but I just wanted to see the faces on the owner and the GM who was out to get me. And I'm pretty sure I got him for for a minute or two. When I walked in the next morning, there wasn't a whole lot of conversation.' Mularkey did in fact get fired from his Titans role, but not before Rapoport tweeted the coach's misinformation out to his followers. Rapoport's tweet was retweeted more than 2.2k times and received 2.4k likes. Notably, Rapoport had reported earlier that January that Mularkey could lose his job if the Titans lost to the Chiefs in the wild card round. Tennessee won that game but didn't get any further as they fell to Tom Brady and the Patriots at the next stage. Mularkey, who also coached the Bills and Jaguars before getting to Tennessee, was last in the NFL in 2019 as the Falcons' tight ends coach.

Eric Akaoka/The Globe and Mail Wealthsimple Technologies Inc. is capping off the best year since its founding a decade ago with a secondary financing valuing the online investment manager at $5-billion, making it one of Canada’s most highly valued private technology companies. San Francisco’s Iconiq Capital, the family office for tech luminaries including Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey and Chamath Palihapitiya, plus KKR & Co. co-founder Henry Kravis and James Murdoch, has bought about $100-million of stock from past and present employees. Wealthsimple said an existing investor led the deal but declined to identify the buyer other than to say it wasn’t Power Corp. of Canada or its affiliates – which own 43.6 per cent combined of its fully diluted equity – or any Canadian entity. The identity was confirmed by three sources familiar with the matter. The Globe is not identifying them as they are not authorized to discuss the deal. The financing restores Wealthsimple’s valuation to its prior high-water mark set in a $750-million financing at the peak of the pandemic tech frenzy in spring 2021. That deal saw Power Corp. of Canada and affiliated entities sell $500-million worth of their holdings. More than a dozen VC firms, including Iconiq, backed the 2021 deal alongside Canadian celebrities Drake, Michael J. Fox, Ryan Reynolds and several sports stars. The financing comes amid a period of torrid expansion by Wealthsimple. Assets under administration (AUA) now exceed $58-billion, up $6-billion since Sept. 30 and nearly double the $31-billion level last Dec. 31. The Generation Z-focused financial services company, which positions itself as a challenger to Canadian banks, had 2.6-million investment and banking clients on Sept. 30 , up 16 per cent from a year earlier. Wealthsimple started as a “robo-adviser” offering automated wealth management services, later expanding to offer online digital stock-trading, a high-interest savings account, cryptocurrency trading, tax filing services and mortgage products. The company is testing new offerings including a Visa credit card, margin accounts and cross-border payment services. The average age of its clients has increased to the mid-30s, while the number of clients with $500,000 or more in assets with Wealthsimple has quadrupled in the past year. CEO Mike Katchen said in an interview Wealthsimple’s recent growth spurt has come across all asset classes as markets have returned to life this year. He added that November was shaping up to be a record month, with an expected $3-billion in new client deposits. IGM Financial Inc. CEO James O’Sullivan, whose Power-controlled company is Wealthsimple’s biggest investor, described its growth in May as “ballistic.” Wealthsimple also recently added two Silicon Valley veterans to its senior ranks: chief financial officer Jeff Gowen, former head of treasury at Stripe, Inc. and before that an investment banker with Goldman Sachs, and chief information security officer Justin Grudzien, who held that role at DoorDash Inc. The surge in Wealthsimple’s business comes two years after its growth stalled as interest rates spiked and markets swooned, prompting Power to cut the value of its consolidating stake to $900-million as of June 2022 from $2.1-billion six months earlier. But as Wealthsimple’s business has expanded sharply since late 2023, Power has written its holdings back up in each of the last four quarters. Power valued its consolidated stake at $2.2-billion on Sept. 30, reflecting the pricing of the impending secondary deal. Mr. Katchen said Wealthsimple is bigger “and a much higher quality business than we were” in 2021. The election of Donald Trump in the U.S. has “made people even more excited and interested in investing,” and fuelled expansion, he said. “We’re firing on all cylinders.” Mr. Katchen said Wealthsimple “has no pressure for liquidity” and the secondary deal, its first since the spring 2021 financing, “gives employees some chance to monetize” though most of its 1,000 people didn’t participate. The deal is “a great vote of confidence from someone who knows the business intimately and was willing to put a mark on it showing we’re doing well and that there’s a tremendous amount of momentum,” he said. “Very few companies have achieved or surpassed where they were in the frothy market of 2021.” Many private-capital-backed tech companies, including B.C.-based Clio , have done secondary transactions in recent quarters in which they issue little or no new equity and buyers pick up shares from employees or early investors. Secondaries don’t dilute non-participating shareholders and give flush private capital firms a chance to put cash to work. Secondaries by private tech companies were once regarded negatively as a sign insiders lacked conviction. But given the three-year drought in initial public offerings and dearth of mergers and acquisitions, they have grown in popularity as a way for holders awaiting exit transactions to realize cash for their stock and lock in financial certainty.

It also landed a session in Deadline’s awards-season showcase Contenders Documentary . In the movie, director Justin Folk films Matt Walsh infiltrating leaders in diversity movements and causing a scene in disguise. Walsh interrupted a Saira Rao dinner lecture decrying white women by dropping stacks of plates. While Walsh and Folk disagree with the sentiments expressed by activists like Rao, they also spoke with regular Americans in Black and white communities. Walsh said the message is that Americans want to move on from discussing race. “I think for a lot of people, they feel like, ‘Let’s move on. Let’s not dwell on these things,’” Walsh said. “By the way, that was the message we heard in the film, not just from white people. We went down south to Louisiana — a Black community in Louisiana, New Orleans — and we heard the same thing. They said, ‘Look, I’m not focused on this racism thing. Let’s just live our lives.’” Folk agreed that people want to move on, adding that many they spoke with entertained discussions of race out of politeness. “I think people in general, whether it be white men or white women or anybody in between, even minorities, they’re polite,” Folk said. “They don’t want to be called haters. They don’t want to be called bigots. They don’t want to be called racist, and I think they’ve taken advantage of that and pushed an agenda and overstepped with that.” Asked whether they acknowledged that there has been structural racism in the past, they concurred there has been. Walsh said credit is also due for correcting those systems. RELATED: Contenders Documentary — Deadline’s Complete Coverage “We are a country that had slavery at one point,” Walsh said. “That’s a pretty good example. Now, although slavery existed as an institution all across the world for thousands of years, in this country it certainly was a racist institution. Nobody denies that. But, in modern America as it stands today, there are no laws or policies on the books that have the intention of disadvantaging Black people, people that we call, quote unquote, people of color. That doesn’t exist today, and I think you have to allow society to progress.” Walsh also pushed back on the notion that the legacies of racist policies, such as Black soldiers being excluded from the GI Bill, still have impacts on minorities. He suggested that one wouldn’t have to go back far to find oppression in anyone’s lineage. RELATED: The 2025 Oscars: Everything We Know So Far About The Nominations, Ceremony, Date & Host “If my Irish ancestors, for example, were not horrifically discriminated against in the early part of the 20th century, where would my life be today?” Walsh said. “At a certain point you have to decide either we are going to stay dwelling on the past and trying to cash in on things that didn’t even happen to us but happened to people 100 years ago. Or we’re going to just move on and say, ‘Now is today. It’s the present moment, and we now live in a situation in a country where we can take charge of our own lives.’” Folk agreed with the goal to move forward “and not repeat the same mistakes of the past, which were mistakes made because of race.” Check back Monday for the panel video.
