An Argentine judge has decided to move forward with charges against the manager of Liam Payne, a former singer from the group One Direction, and hotel workers related to his tragic fall from a hotel balcony. Liam Payne died in October while staying at a hotel in Buenos Aires.

The manager, the hotel manager, and the head receptionist are all facing charges of manslaughter, which could lead to up to five years in prison if they are found guilty. In addition, a hotel worker and a local waiter are accused of giving Liam cocaine during his stay and could potentially face up to 15 years in jail.

When Liam fell, he was seen being carried to his room by three people just minutes earlier, looking unconscious. A judge ruled that it was dangerous to take him to his room in that state and said they should have kept him safe until a doctor arrived. The investigation revealed that Liam had consumed large amounts of cocaine and alcohol and had bought drugs multiple times during his stay.

The judge also mentioned that Liam had tried to go out onto the balcony but fell because he was in such poor condition. As for his manager, who left the hotel shortly before the fall, the judge said he did not take proper care of Liam.

Now, the manager, who is an American citizen, has been banned from leaving Argentina while the case is ongoing.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are losing popularity in the U.S., and many experts believe they know why. Royal expert Ingrid Seward shared that a lot of Americans feel disappointed in them for “letting down” the Queen and for speaking negatively about the British Royal Family.

Since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have faced lots of criticism for their media projects, like their famous Oprah interview, their Netflix show, and Harry’s memoir called ‘Spare’. Many think these projects hurt the Royal Family’s image and pushed away fans in both Britain and America.

Originally, people in Hollywood were excited about the couple, but that excitement is fading. Publicist Jane Owen said that they “destroyed the chances they had,” comparing them to “the most unpopular kids in school.” Their $20 million deal with Spotify fell apart after they made only 12 podcasts, which hurt their professional reputation even more.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield pointed out that Americans seem to be losing interest in Harry and Meghan and feel that they were “overrated” to begin with. Even though they still have connections with big stars like Oprah Winfrey and the Clooneys, the couple is finding it hard to regain their previous popularity.

A U.S. federal court has confirmed that Donald Trump sexually abused a journalist named E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room during the 1990s. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a jury’s decision to give Carroll $5 million for defamation and sexual abuse.

In court, Carroll shared her story, explaining how a friendly encounter in the spring of 1996 turned into a violent attack while they were in the store’s dressing room. Trump, who has always denied these claims, did not attend the first trial. However, he did give brief testimony at a later trial this year, which ended with a whopping $83.3 million awarded to Carroll. This second trial was prompted by comments Trump made in 2019, after Carroll initially accused him publicly in her memoir.

Right now, the world is facing a situation that feels a lot like the 1930s, just before World War II began. There are various conflicts happening in places like Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, and experts believe that it could lead to a global war in just weeks.
