Tom Hardy responded to reports that Charlize Theron felt threatened by his behavior on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road.

The couple has been working on the film since 2015, but had such an explosive relationship on set that they often took part in intense shouts, with Theron calling Hardy “hell ***” after he made her wait on set. landing. o’clock.

Theron, 46, also had a female producer with her as a “defense” at all times, as she was “madly frightened” by “aggressive” Hardy, 44, according to a new book by New York Times columnist Kyle Buchanan.

Referring to the tension Hardy admitted to Buchanan: “Looking back, I was in my head in many ways. The pressure on both of us was sometimes enormous.

“What she needed was a better, maybe more experienced partner in me. This is something that cannot be falsified. I would like to think that now that I am older and uglier, I could touch on this occasion.

I was in my head “: Tom Hardy admits that Charlize Theron needs a” more experienced “colleague in” Crazy Max: The Road to Rage “after it turned out that the actress” wants protection “from him on the set

Hardy plays the protagonist, who was played by Mel Gibson in the first three films in the series, while Theron plays the newcomer Emperor Furioza, a lieutenant of the villain Immortan Joe (Hugh Keys-Byrne), who turns against his team leader – with Max.

In an excerpt from Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild And True Story Of Mad Max: Fury Roa, published by Vanity FairNatasha Hopkins, a stuntwoman on Fury Road, said Theron did not want to waste time on set, as she was a new mother at the time and balanced her role with parenthood.

But cameraman Mark Goelnicht remembered how Hardy was often late for filming.

He recounted a day when Theron was on set at exactly eight o’clock and preparing her make-up and costume before entering the film War Rig.

However, although the producers made a “special request” for Hardy to show up on time, it would be hours before he arrived.

“It’s nine o’clock, Tom’s still missing,” Goelnicht said. “Charlize, do you want to get off the battlefield and walk around, or do you want …” – No, I will stay here. She really would make a point. She didn’t go to the bathroom, she didn’t do anything. She was just sitting in the Military Platform.

Tom admitted: “The pressure on both of us was huge at times. What he needed was a better, perhaps more experienced partner in me.

Hardy finally arrived after 11 a.m., while Theron had remained in the vehicle the entire time.

“She jumps from the Military Platform and starts swearing at him, saying, ‘Fine a hundred thousand dollars for every minute he keeps this crew,’ and ‘How disrespectful you are!'” Goelnicht continued.

“She was right.” Complete jealousy. She screamed. It’s so strong, it’s so windy – he may have heard some of it, but he rushed to her and said, “What did you tell me?”

The cameraman said Hardy looked “quite aggressive” and that his partner “really felt threatened.”

“It was a turning point, because then she said, ‘I want someone as protection.’ Then she had a producer who was assigned to be with her all the time,” he explained.

“He got to a place where he was kind of out of control and there was a feeling that maybe sending a woman producer could do some of it because I didn’t feel safe,” Theron explained.

“Somehow I put my foot down.” [Director] George [Miller] then he said: “Well, well, if Denise comes …. “He was open to it, and it made me breathe a little, because I had a feeling I was going to make another woman know what I was facing,” she continued.

However, she noted that “when I was on set, I still felt quite naked and alone” because producer Denise Di Novi was forced to stay in the production office and was not allowed on the set by order of producer Doug Mitchell.

Kelly Marcel, a screenwriter and friend of Hardy’s, called Mitchell a bulldog.

Squeezed: Theron asked veteran producer Denise Di Novi to accompany her to the set, but producer Doug Mitchell forced her to stay in the production office to avoid delays and keep her away from director George Miller (R).

“He will defend George no matter what, at any cost. And you can send your producer, you can do whatever you want, but if you have Doug to stay there, it makes absolutely no sense unless he wants you there, “she said. He would never allow anyone to break this world, no matter how hard the world was.

Marcel also said that the battle between the main actors comes from “a really intense, intense, intense period of intense, intense place”, although she claims that “The family was created there and the family loves and hates each other”.

She explained that Hardy was “very physical and ubiquitous and will experience many different things,” while Theron was “cerebral and very consistent in the way she approaches a character.”

“Both are powerful, but in many different ways. Which, oddly enough, is the reason the film works: everything pours on the screen.

Conflict: Kelly Marcel, a screenwriter and friend of Hardy’s, said he was “very physical and ubiquitous and will experience many different things”, while Theron was “cerebral and very consistent in the way he approaches a character”; still from Fury Road

Looking back, Theron thinks “it would be wise for us to hire a female producer.”

“You understand the needs of a director who wants to defend his set, but when it comes to push and things get out of hand, you have to be able to think about it in a broader sense,” she continued. “We would have done better here if George had believed that no one would come and fuck with his vision, but would just come and help mediate situations.”

She theorized that Miller “didn’t want any interference,” but that led to a few weeks in this movie where I wouldn’t know what was going to happen to me, and that’s not necessarily a good thing to feel when you’re on your own. work. It was a bit like walking on thin ice.

Miller said he was disappointed with the process [sic]”,” Looking back, if I had to do it again, I would probably be more careful. ”

Hardy said he was “in my head in many ways.”

“The pressure on the two of us was sometimes enormous. “What he needed was a better, maybe more experienced partner in me,” he admitted. “This is something that cannot be falsified. I would like to think that now that I am older and uglier, I could touch on this occasion.

Hardy said he was “in my head in many ways” and added that Theron needed a “more experienced” partner at the time; still from Fury Road

Goelnicht noted that Hardy “was a different person to the end” and he and Theron seemed to warm up to each other after filming scenes together later in the production.

He said Hardy was much easier to deal with, much more cooperative, more compassionate. He’s such an actor from Method that I think he took the rainbow literally.

In particular, Miller continues with the Crazy Max franchise after the feud between Theron and Hardy on set, but the next film in the series will be a prequel titled Furiosa, which will focus on a younger version of the character, with Anya Taylor. Joy takes on the role of Theron.

Although Hardy once said he was attached to more sequels to Crazy Max, it’s unclear if these films are still in the works.

Miller has been involved since 2017 in a lawsuit filed in Australia against Warner Bros. for the millions of bonuses he claims he owes for Fury Road.

The director claims that Mad Max: Fury Road has fallen within the budget, a requirement to receive bonus payments.

But Warner Bros. claims that the film exceeded the budget due to repeated photos.

Miller and his production company claim that Warner Bros. required additional reshoots and that the studio initially stated that the price of the re-shoot would not be included in the original price of the production.

The director successfully managed to keep his case in Australia after Warners tried unsuccessfully to move the lawsuit to California, where he expected to receive a more favorable solution.

Missed: Despite the emergence of the popular role of Furiosa, the role of Theron was reworked with Anya Taylor-Joy in the upcoming prequel to Miller Furiosa; seen in February 2020 in Hollywood

ASAIC Secret Service Roy Dotson is among those prosecuting fraud to alleviate COVID

Approximately $ 100 billion in federal funding to alleviate the pandemic has been stolen by fraudsters who have squandered money on a lavish lifestyle, and the government is now struggling with the daunting task of finding and prosecuting the perpetrators.

In total, the US government threw away about $ 6 trillion in emergencies COVID-19 funds to help prevent an economic catastrophe, and the fire hose with money attracted a flock of impatient fraudsters.

The suspects include a former NFL player and reality TV star, and in a number of lawsuits filed so far, prosecutors say the proceeds of the fraud were spent on everything from Lamborghinis and Rolex watches to contract killings.

Federal prosecutors, teams of investigators from many chief inspectorates and even the Secret Service are now pursuing a complex network of investigations to bring fraudsters to justice.

In December, the Secret Service appointed Assistant Special Agent Roy Dotson of the Jacksonville Field Office as the National Pandemic Fraud Recovery Coordinator, tasked with coordinating efforts in a number of ongoing fraud investigations into aid claims.

In one of the most scandalous cases, 29-year-old David T. Hines from Miami received $ 4 million in PPP funds and used the money to buy a Lamborghini Huracan for $ 318,000.

Hines pleaded guilty in February 2021 to one count of physical fraud and was sentenced to more than six years in federal prison. The court also ordered him to take away Lamborghini

“Currently, the Secret Service has more than 900 active criminal investigations into fraud specific to the pandemic relief funds,” Dotson said in a statement at the time.

“This is a combination of the benefits of the pandemic and all other compensation programs. “Every state is affected, some more than others,” he said.

“The Secret Service is trying to recover everything we can, including funds stolen from both federal and state programs.”

Many of the scams involved fake claims for funds from the Wage Protection Program (PPP) designed to support small businesses, but scams involving unemployment insurance were also widespread, investigators said.

The massive fraud took place in three separate rounds of funding during the Trump and Biden administrations, and the current White House is quick to describe it as a problem that President Joe Biden “inherited” from his predecessor.

“There is no doubt that the massive fraud that erupted in the 2020 pandemic, especially for small business loans and unemployment insurance, is the biggest oversight challenge inherited from the Biden administration,” said Jean Sperling, chief executive. Biden Coordinator for Cost Stimulation. said the Washington Post.

Sperling emphasized that the administration was “taking significant steps to strengthen anti-fraud control”.

However, some of the stolen money may now be difficult or even impossible to recover due to the large scale of the fraud believed to have taken place.

Last month, the U.S. Government’s Office of Accountability estimated that the small business administration had already forgiven about $ 550 billion in PPP loans, complicating efforts to recover stolen funds.

The monitoring agency also said the government had paid creditors $ 49 billion to forgive PPP loans, despite the fact that they were “still being reviewed by the SBA to deal with signals and flags indicating eligibility concerns.”

Dozens of cases of alleged fraud have become shocking headlines in the last two years.

Jasmine Martinez, 33, pictured, claims she paid a killer to kill TSA officer La’Shonte Jones

The 24-year-old TSA agent Jones was shot dead on May 3, 2021 in front of his daughter

Earlier this month, a Florida woman was accused of using a $ 15,000 PPP loan to hire a killer to kill a 24-year-old woman she allegedly stole from her boyfriend.

Jasmine Martinez, 33, has been charged with first-degree murder for allegedly plotting to assassinate Le’Shonte Jones.

Jones, a TSA agent at Miami International Airport, was fatally shot in front of his three-year-old daughter in front of their home in the Coral Bay Cove apartments in the Miami suburb of Homestead on May 3, 2021.

Police say Martinez took out a $ 15,000 loan to alleviate the pandemic, which she claims is for her working beauty salon for a woman, and then used it to hire Javon Carter, 29, to kill Jones. It is unclear whether Martinez ever owned a salon.

David T. Hines, 29, was sentenced to six years in prison for PPP fraud

Carter and Romiel Robinson, 35, who reportedly linked Martinez to the killer, were also charged with murder but denied involvement. All three could be sentenced to death if convicted.

In one of the most scandalous cases, 29-year-old David T. Hines from Miami received $ 4 million in support of Covid-19 after applying for PPP loans for small businesses.

Hines used these funds in part to buy a luxury Lamborghini Huracan for $ 318,000.

He claims that he has hundreds of employees in four companies – Unified Relocation Solutions, Promaster Movers, Cash-in Holdings LLC and We pack Moving LLC – and that he needs $ 13 million to continue paying them.

In fact, prosecutors say he had 12 employees and that his business was about $ 200,000 a month.

Hines pleaded guilty in February 2021 to one count of physical fraud and was sentenced to more than six years in federal prison. The court also ordered him to take away Lamborghini.

Former New York Jets successor Joshua Bellamy has been charged with fraud and conspiracy to participate in a $ 1.2 million PPP scheme

Bellamy, 32, pleaded guilty last June to conspiracy to commit fraud and was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison

In another shocking case, former New York Jets successor Joshua Bellamy was accused of fraud and conspiracy to participate in a $ 1.2 million PPP scheme.

After receiving the loan for his company Drip Entertainment LLC, Bellamy admitted that he used the funds for personal belongings, such as jewelry and a stay at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Bellamy, 32, pleaded guilty last June to conspiracy to commit fraud and was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison.

Also, reality TV star Maurice Fain, who starred in Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, was sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison on charges stemming from a Ponzi scheme and PPP fraud.

Acting U.S. Attorney General Kurt R. Erskine said last year that Fein “plans to use the PPP program as a cover for his long-running Ponzi scheme.”

Pictured: File photo from 2018 of a vintage gold luxury watch for daily meetings. Faine has spent more than $ 1.5 million on jewelry, investigators said

In April 2020, Fayne applied for a $ 3.7 million PPP loan from United Community Bank, falsely claiming that its truck business had 107 employees and an average monthly salary of $ 1,490,200.

Instead of using the money to run his business, Faine spent money on Rolls-Royce leases, custom jewelry, overdue child support, restitution due to previous fraud and other personal expenses, prosecutors said.

In another case, a couple from Michigan was arrested for filing fake $ 2.5 million COVID unemployment claims after posting photos of their designer clothes, cars and jewelry online.

Johnny Richardson, 25, and Mikahia Taylor, 27, have pleaded guilty and are due to stand trial on April 13. They face up to 20 years in prison.

Pictures of the unemployed Richardson and Taylor online show the couple enjoying a luxurious lifestyle by buying brand new $ 130,000 Mercedes-Benz cars, vacations and jewelry.

Pictures of unemployed Richardson, pictured, and Taylor online show the couple enjoying a luxurious lifestyle by buying brand new $ 130,000 Mercedes-Benz cars, vacations and jewelry.

U.S. Postal Service Inspector Erin Leipold said: “In general, Richardson’s account routinely depicts him in designer clothes and personalized jewelry and watches inlaid with diamonds, drives luxury vehicles and owns large sums of money.”

Sharing a photo of the car Richardson bought for Taylor on Instagram, he wrote: “BABY, YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING, I GOT THE BIG HOUSE THAT WANTED THE CAR AND THE JEWELRY.

By the way, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND I DIDN’T FINISH THE NEXT WEEK, I RECEIVED SOMETHING BETTER.

The couple is alleged to have filed fraudulent unemployment claims online, alone or through others.

Then they are friends in the state Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency on claims; which uses its state role to release fraudulent payments, authorities said.

When a friend’s home was searched, police found $ 238,000 in cash and Louis Vuitton belongings.

Her mobile phone allegedly contained messages from Taylor and messages about Richardson, who officials said was “not paid and has no other legitimate source of income.”

A career criminal with 19 previous arrests and three convictions for assault has become the last person of new Yorkrises crime wave after he was accused of killing an innocent mother of four, shot while walking his dog to a shop window in Brooklyn.

Officers followed Namel Colon, 36, at a Chinese restaurant in Queens after the suspect escaped capture for nearly two months after the January 2 shooting at the Salim Smoke Shop in Bedford-Stuyvesant, which left a 36-year-old dog Jennifer Inoa. and her annual pet. pit bull dead.

Colon, who lives on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, according to public records, was later handcuffed and taken to the 79th district of the neighborhood, where he is accused of murder and criminal possession of weapons, police said.

It is unclear whether Colon was on bail, parole or parole at the time of the attack, and it is not known how he escaped investigators for seven weeks after the shooting.

But he had previously been released on parole after being jailed three times for assault as New York State faces questions about his unsecured policy, which critics warn flooded the streets with dangerous criminals, many of them then commit a repeat offense.

New York cops have arrested career criminal Namel Colon, pictured in security footage at the scene on Tuesday in connection with the incident. Records show Colon a serial criminal with 19 previous arrests with 11 felony counts, including three for which he served a sentence and was released on parole or parole.

Jennifer Inoa, 36, a mother of four, was shot dead by a suspect in a Brooklyn deli last month when she opened fire on another customer at the store

Her one-year-old pit bull Blue was also killed during the January 2 attack

Records show that Colon is a serial offender with 19 previous arrests with 11 felony counts, including three for which he served a sentence and was released on parole or parole.

Inoa, a mother of four who lived two blocks from the grocery store where she was shot, was walking her dog Blue when she was killed on the night of Jan. 2, her 46-year-old friend Carlton Bush said after the incident..

– I was angry. I’ve been doing a lot of this. “I lost my wife and my dog,” Bush said Daily News Tuesday, after the arrest. “He was my best friend. We had a family and needless to say, [the arrest] is a bit anticlimactic. ‘

Bush told the paper that Colon “will have to think about his own answers” about his alleged role in the assassination. – And fortunately he lives at least with his answers.

“She had children,” he continued. “She had people who loved and cared for her and everything, and now they took her life.

“That will not be punishable.”

The footage shows Inoa and her dog in the store just before the shooting, while a man, although the intended target, seen in the lower right corner of the image, watches eating a bag of chips.

The suspect started firing before entering the store. Pictured here are Ynoa and the other man, who was not injured, refused to cooperate with police when questioned, reacted to the hail of gunfire

Footage from outside the store shows a man believed to be Colon waving a gun and opening fire as he storms the Bed-Stuy store.

Bush said Inoa’s children are now with their aunt.

Cops say Ynoa was probably not the shooter’s target after analyzing surveillance footage from a security camera in the store, saying another man in the store at the time was probably the shooter’s intended target, cops said.

The suspect, believed to be Colon, can be clearly seen in security footage, police said, adding that the shooter was also recorded arriving in front of a red four-door sedan and crossing the street calmly before open fire.

Pictured is the Salim Smoke Shop in Bedford-Stuyvesant shortly after the shooting, where no one else, including Colon’s target, who refused to speak to police, was injured.

Inoa was shot in the head and transported to a nearby hospital in Brooklyn, where she was pronounced dead. Her dog died on the spot, police said.

Camera footage shows a man believed to be Colon jumping into the car and driving away.

No one else was struck by the hail of indiscriminate gunfire, including store employees and the suspect’s alleged target.

After the attack, the man, believed to be Colon’s sign, who fled the scene after the attack and has not yet been identified by police, was taken away by police for questioning, during which he refused to cooperate with the staff and called a lawyer. said the cops.

Colon’s criminal record shows that he has had 19 previous arrests with 11 crimes, including burglary, robbery and assault.

Ynoa is the last person to fall victim to the growing criminal wave in New York, which has seen a nearly 50% jump in criminal incidents in the city this year compared to the same period in 2021.

Less than two weeks ago, 35-year-old Asian creative advertiser Christina Yuna Lee was stabbed to death by a homeless serial criminal who followed her home to her apartment in Chinatown after being released on bail.

Yuna was found by cops in her apartment with several stab wounds in the blood-soaked tub.

Nash is said to have followed Yuna Lee after she got out of a taxi and then forgot to check to see if the door closed behind her.

Yuna was found stabbed in her bathtub and could not be saved, and Nash is also said to have been found hiding under the bed of his alleged victims.

Three of these cases remain open and he has appeared in court many times. He was due to appear before a judge again on March 9 on charges of assault, harassment and intentional damage to property.

The victim’s landlord accused him of arousing NYC DA’s Alvin Bragg policy on soft crime for murder.

“All of this could have been avoided,” Brian Chin told reporters Sunday night. “This man should never have left the street. And DA Alvin Bragg is playing politics with people’s lives and the Asian community is hurt. To have a prosecutor who has won these horrific crimes right on his doorstep. And he doesn’t even bother to show up. This is a disgrace.

Ynoa was the last to fall victim to the rising crime wave in New York, which saw a nearly 50% jump in crime in the city this year compared to the same period in 2021. Crime has risen by more than 20% while the shooting increased by 30 percent

Queens was particularly hard hit by the influx of incidents, with an almost 150% increase in overall crime.

Former president Barack Obama spent Weekend President snorkeling and whale watching with his family at his hometown Hawaiishow exclusive photos on DailyMail.com.

The 60-year-old man was spotted with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha on Saturday as they embarked on a whale watching tour off the Maui coast.

The First Family was joined by friends and other spectators aboard a 53-foot two-story cruise boat, looking out for sea creatures and aquatic life in the crystal clear waters of Maalaya Bay.

Dressed in bathing suits, sunglasses and hats, Obama was on a full vacation, enjoying life as a normal family, worlds far from the pressure of Washington they had once faced.

The family was seen gathering on the bow of the ship after a whale’s back was spotted just meters from the boat.

The former first lady, who turned 58 last month, showed off her toned physique in a one-piece white swimsuit while her husband Barak wore dark swimsuits, sunglasses and a baseball cap.

Michelle, who turned 58 last month, basked in the warm Hawaiian sun in a white one-piece swimsuit while her husband, Barak, wore dark swimsuits and a green baseball cap.

20-year-old Sasha matched her mother’s style in a white bikini and white hat, while her older sister Malia, 23, wore a beach dress.

The family was accompanied by a tall young man resembling Malia’s boyfriend, Rory Farkuharson.

At one point, they were spotted crowding around the bow after a whale appeared just meters from the ship.

Scientists estimate that more than 10,000 whales return to Maui between November and May to mate and give birth.

At the end of the tour, the president posed for photos with the sailing crew before getting off and loading his Suburban with the help of a secret service detail.

The Obama family is known to travel to the former president’s hometown every year to relax and visit loved ones.

They were recently filmed in Hawaii during the December holidays, when the 44th POTUS was seen wearing a black swimsuit as he went to dive into the Pacific Ocean.

His daughters Sasha and Malia were also photographed on camera as they boarded the rowing boats, each in a bikini for a beach day.

The former commander-in-chief was later filmed playing golf with friends, although former first lady Michelle managed to avoid the cameras.

The Honolulu-born Obama spoke fondly of his home state, telling National Geographic in 2016: “People always ask me why I stay calm in the midst of a lot of crazy things happening. Well, I always tell people that part of it is being born in Hawaii and knowing what it’s like to jump into the ocean and understand what it means to see a sea turtle in front of a wave.

It is unclear exactly where the Obama family stayed during their trip, although in the past it was known that they stayed at the Paradise Point Estates, which they visited every year from 2008 to 2011 – giving it the nickname “Winter White House”.

The private home has five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, the extra space that was probably needed during the Obama White House years because of its details from the secret services.

Malia, who graduated from Harvard last spring and got a job as a writer on a new Amazon project from Donald Glover, has been spotted smoking outside of work.

She has long been interested in filmmaking and did an internship on Extant High School and with The Weinstein Company in 2017.

Meanwhile, younger sister Sasha was seen walking around LA, where she was reportedly graduating from college after moving from the University of Michigan.

However, she completed her first few semesters on the Ann Arbor campus, but appears to have decided to move at some point during the pandemic, although it is unclear whether she did so for her second year in 2020 or younger. your year in 2021

A woman who is suing a gynecologist for secretly becoming her father when she conceived her mother with semen in the 1980s told how she learned that he was her father while she was also receiving medical treatment. treatment of it.

Morgan Helquist, 36, filed a lawsuit against Dr. Maurice Wortman, a gynecologist in upstate New York last September. She is one of a growing number of people who learn they have entire families or relatives after doing a DNA test at home.

In January 1985, he inseminated her mother, Joe Ann Levy, with semen that she claimed was a medical student, but was actually his.

Levi Gary’s husband, who raised Morgan, was paralyzed when he was 20 after being hit by a drunk driver while riding his motorcycle. The couple, who were high school lovers, went to Wortman to ask for his help in starting a family and paid $ 50 three times a month for what they considered to be a stranger’s semen. They conceived Morgan in 1985.

In 2016, a year after her father Gary’s death, Morgan did a DNA test on her ancestors to find out more about her biological heritage, and she found that she had six half-siblings, all of whom came from the same donor.

Morgan’s mother, Joe Ann Levy, and her father, Gary, went to the gynecologist for help in the 1980s. Gary was hit by a drunk driver and could not have children naturally. They asked for help and to use a sample from an anonymous sperm donor

At the time, Wortman – who was revered by her family for giving them a miracle baby – had been treating her with her own gynecological problems for four years.

It wasn’t until 2021 – after treating her for nine years – that Morgan learned from a DNA test that he was probably her biological father.

She claims that he knew that he was her father during the nine years he treated her, and that he was sometimes inappropriate with her.

In her trial, she claims he made sexually inappropriate jokes, told her he was a “good kid” and even made his own wife come into the room to “look” at her because they both knew he was her. was born secretly.

Morgan told The Leader, a local newspaper in New York this week, how horrified she was that he was still training. She also described how she nearly crashed her car when she learned he was her biological father, and how her own mother now blames herself for everything.

“My mother feels so hurt. She said: “I feel like he raped me.” She feels it’s all her fault, “she said.

Wortman has never commented on any of the allegations, but in court documents he claims that she is lying and that he did not use his own semen while treating her mother. He is seeking dismissal.

Morgan told the trial how her family revered him as a miracle worker after helping his mother conceive. When she was eight, she was told she was conceived with the help of a sperm donor because of her father’s earlier incident.

As a child, Morgan said he knew who Worthman was. He was also well known in the area for abortions and was often targeted by protesters for life.

Morgan says she grew up idolizing Wortman for giving her parents a miraculous pregnancy. She chose him as her own gynecologist in 2012

Morgan says Wortman and his wife, Rebecca, knew she was his daughter and that he once called Rebecca into the patient room while he treated her to “look”

“He was on all the news when I was in my late teens. My mother stopped cooking dinner and said, “Here it is,” she said.

In 2012, after having two children of her own, Morgan sought Worthman’s treatment because she was unhappy with her own gynecologist.

Carl Laur also claims that Wortman used his own sperm instead of donor to make him his father

She began visiting him for ultrasounds, breast and pelvic exams, and was happy with the work until she began to doubt that he might be involved in her conception.

When she found out she had six half-siblings, she contacted many of them online and was surprised to see that her half-brothers looked like Wortman.

She also learned that she is a 50 percent Ashkenazi Jew.

At first, Morgan belittled him, convinced that it was impossible for Wortman to be her father.

She continued to visit him for medical treatment and allowed him to apply mascara, among other procedures.

In her case, she claims that he once told her that she was a “Jewish American princess” after she complained about unusual mood swings.

She says he also once showed her an antique “teragun” and asked what she thought it was used for, then suggested that women use it to masturbate.

They all believed that their father, a biological sperm donor, was a medical student who donated his sperm often at the time they were all conceived.

However, one of the half-brothers contacted Worthman’s daughter with his own wife and compared their DNA – the match is 99.9 percent.

Among those she is now in contact with is Carl Laur, who made the announcement after Hellquist first filed his case last year. He says the doctor used his own semen

The statute of limitations in New York for medical abuse is only 2 and a half years, which prevents Morgan from being able to sue him while he was treating her mother.

However, she claims that because he continued to treat her as a patient, while he allegedly knew she was his biological daughter, when she did not, it meant that he was guilty of abusing her.

“I’m kind of swaying on this blade of grass that allows me to hold this person responsible in this degenerate scenario,” she said.

Her lawyer, Catherine Bruns, said: “The doctor has a debt to his patient. In this case, he was obliged not to treat her. He violated his ethical duty as a doctor.

Mrs Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll has been accused of making an “incredibly racist remark” to American actor Tyler Perry during a live chat on The One Show.

BBC viewers criticized the Irish comedian for joking about the “color” of his black colleague when they appeared together to promote Netflix’s new film A Madea Homecoming.

The couple, promoting the cross-section of Mrs. Brown’s The Boy and Madea, appeared side by side in a video conversation on the show, which aired at 7 p.m. last night.

But while some viewers were angry at the remark, others reflected BBC presenters Lauren Laverne and Harry Judd for not removing slander.

O’Carroll declined to comment when asked by MailOnline, while BBC and Perry teams were contacted.

Ms. Brown’s boys are reportedly returning to the Corporation as a full-length series for the first time in nine years.

O’Carroll, who appears with Perry via video link, was asked if he thought his colleague could participate in Ms. Brown’s boys.

The 66-year-old man pointed to his face and said: “So far we have not had anyone of his color there, so I do not know if we could accept it.

“But you know what, I’d like it, but I think more importantly, I’d like to make another movie with it.”

Perry, 52, laughed awkwardly at the remark, but told him, “No one is my color.” He added: “It’s time to change the world. Rules for diversity, here we go.

O’Carroll appears in the latest film – written and directed by Perry – playing his character Agnes Brown.

In a trailer for the film, Ms. Brown greets Madea by folding her arms and saying “Wakanda Forever,” referring to the Black Panther symbol.

Another video shows the actor having dinner with Perry’s character, where she says, “I’m Mrs. Brown,” and one of her colleagues says, “I’m brown, too.”

Mrs. Brown begins to answer, “You’re better …” but is cut off by her screen daughter, who hits her.

O’Carroll, who appears with Perry via video link, was asked if he thought his colleague could be involved in Ms. Brown’s boys.

Social media users criticized him for the excavations in Perry, saying: “O’Carroll’s attempt to make fun of @tylerperry on the BBC One show tonight was quite embarrassing.

He added: “I’m sure he didn’t mean malice, but this comment was wrong on so many levels.”

Another wrote on Twitter: “Brendan Carroll just made a racist remark on a show and no one called him out. Shame on the BBC #TheOneShow. ‘

One man said, “Did Brendan O’Carroll just say Tyler and Perry can’t be in Mrs. Brown’s Boys because he’s black on The One Show !?”

One man said, “Hey, BBC, why don’t you show the video of the incredibly racist remark made by Brendan O’Carroll right after that quote?”

Another responded to the BBC by sharing a clip from the show on Twitter: “Oh, yes, before the racist remark.”

Social media users criticized him for rummaging through Perry, saying: “O’Carroll’s attempt to have fun with @tylerperry on BBC One tonight was quite embarrassing.”

One woman said, “What did I just hear from Brendan O’Carroll?” Another added, “Did Brandon O’Carroll just say that?”

One said, “Excuse me !? Did … I just heard what I thought I heard on #TheOneShow from Brendan O’Carroll.

“Either I got it wrong, or it’s this screaming racism on @BBCOne’s most popular show #wtf.”

A man published: “Everything with Brendan Carroll / Mrs. Brown is absolutely not from me.

“And I can’t believe what you just said about Tyler Perry’s appearance on his show. Such ignorance.

And one man added, “You definitely heard Brandon at #TheOneShow, what the hell was that?” The BBC asked for comment.

O’Carroll’s agent declined to comment while BBC and Perry teams were contacted.

The 66-year-old pointed to his face and said, “So far we haven’t had any of its color there, so I don’t know if we could take it in.”

Ms Brown’s boys have previously been accused of promoting racist stereotypes over their clichéd portrayal of the Irish, as well as sexism and homophobia.

He has often been criticized by critics, but is a hit in the charts in Ireland, Britain, New Zealand and Canada. She was recently revealed as a fan favorite in Jamaica.

O’Carroll had previously insisted the show would never be banned for political reasons.

In an interview with The Irish Sun, he said: “I don’t think Ms. Brown will be affected [by political correctness] and I often wonder if Mrs. Brown – I’m a man dressing up as a woman to play Mrs. Brown – the same as the black man?

“And I decided it wasn’t because I’ve never played Mrs. Brown as a man playing a woman, as they do in movies like Mrs. Doubtfire. Agnes is a woman like Lady Edna.

“I would never try to be racist or homophobic, so I’m not so worried myself because I’m only writing what I find funny, and you hope enough audiences will agree with you.”

It is reported that the show is back in BBC as a full-length series for the first time in nine years, most recently aired in 2013.

According to The sunthe cast has already been booked for another series and filming is set to begin in April.

A source said: “Everyone is very excited. It’s nice to work on another series. The cast can’t wait to see Brendan’s scripts.

The show debuted for the first time in 2011 and quickly became a successful rating, with previous special programs reaching 11 million viewers.

Another insider said: “This is something that everyone wants to happen, and we are developing a schedule for 2022/23.”

Earlier it was announced in 2020 that the creator of the show Brendan signed a new deal with the TV operator to keep Ms. Brown’s boys on air until 2026.

The show, starring Brendan O’Carroll as Irish mom Agnes Brown, last aired as a series in 2013 and has since aired several specials.

He added that the new contract guarantees that every holiday edition he creates will receive the desired time of 10 pm every Christmas day.

If they are not given a place, they are not obliged to do the Christmas episode at all.

O’Carroll told Irish sun“We’ve been doing it for nine years now – six more than the Royle family and more than Morecambe and Wise.

“This new agreement, which we signed last week, runs until 2026, which means that I will be able to grow in the role and we have a clause in which we guarantee that Ms. Brown will be broadcast at 22:00 on Christmas Eve. night, or not “I should not succeed”.

He added of the deal: “I wanted this because if it’s not good enough for Christmas, then we shouldn’t do it.”

The show received a number of awards, including the 2012 BAFTA Award for Best Situational Comedy and Best Comedy at the TV Choice Awards that year.

O’Carroll was nominated for a BAFTA Best Actor in a Comedy Program in 2012, but lost to Darren Boyd for his role in the comedy series Sky Spy.

Perry, meanwhile, has also been accused of maintaining racist stereotypes with his alter ego Madeia.

He plays in a drag like Mabel “Simeo” Simmons and speaks with exaggerated Ebonics, avoiding political correctness.

Spike Lee had previously dismissed the films as humiliating, racist stereotypical “delusions and nonsense.”

Screenwriter Donald Bogle said, “If a white director releases this product, the black audience will be horrified.”

Despite criticism of both Ms. Brown’s boy and Madea, the shows remain popular.

The film crossover of the two series, A Madea Homecoming, will be released on Netflix on February 25.

The Duchess of Cambridge has looked delighted to be back in the company of the Danish royal family – and particularly Crown Princess Mary – during her whistlestop two-day visit to Copenhagen this week.

This morning saw Kate Middleton officially welcomed to Denmark by Queen Margrethe II and Australian-born Crown Princess Mary at Christian IX’s Palace, and from the official photos taken, it’s clear that the English royal is very much at ease with her Danish counterparts. 

Indeed, the Duchess, 40, and Crown Princess Mary, 50, both wearing their long brunette locks flowing and opting for smart coat dresses – Kate wearing a £3,000 Catherine Walker coat dress while Mary chose a chic white number worn on previous outings – might have been mistaken for sisters.  

Their fashion sense, which has often aligned in the past – with the royal contemporaries frequently mirroring each other’s style during public engagements – today saw both women wearing pearls, black leather gloves and smart heels with chic clutch bags. 

The pair, neither of whom were born into royal life and first forged a friendship in 2011, looked entirely comfortable in each other’s company as they strolled in the sunshine outside the official royal palace in the Danish capital, chatting as they headed to a private lunch at Copenhagen’s Amalienborg Castle.

Royal doppelgangers: Looking remarkably similar in regal coats, pearl jewellery, black leather gloves and with their trademark brunette locks flowing, the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, 50, looked comfortable in each other’s company as they posed for official photos at Christian IX’s Palace in Copenhagen today

At ease: The pair, neither of whom were born into royal life, looked relaxed as they strolled in the sunshine outside the official royal palace in the Danish capital, their fashion sense aligning too – with the royal contemporaries both opting for dress coats, smart heels with chic clutch bags

Both women have excelled in the roles they’ve been given since marrying into their respective royal families. Their fashion sense has often aligned too as they’ve been spotted frequently in similar stylish outfits. While Kate Middleton donned a £3,000 Catherine Walker coat dress, her Danish counterpart opted for a chic white coat with frayed hem that she’s worn for a previous engagement

The royal peers echoed each others’ body language as they were pictured waving at well-wishers today. They first met in 2011 when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made an official visit to the country – and they have forged a strong friendship in the years since

Like Kate, the Danish royal, 50, wasn’t born into royal life. Crown Princess Mary was raised as Mary Elizabeth Donaldson and came from a very different place to her husband, Crown Prince Frederik

The visit is in part due to pay tribute to the historic ties Britain shares with Denmark and celebrate the countries’ joint jubilees – the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the Golden Jubilee of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, both of which fall in 2022 

The two women could be seen waving to royal fans who had gathered as they walked across the Amalienborg Courtyard in Copenhagen on Wednesday

In her stride: Kate looked in confident mood as she stood alongside the European royals this morning on her short trip to Denmark

Such warmth between the two royal contemporaries is unsurprising considering the similar paths their lives have followed. 

After both marrying into royal families, Kate to Prince William in 2011, and Mary to Crown Prince Frederik in 2004, the commoners-turned-royals have thrown themselves wholeheartedly into public life, garnering legions of adoring fans in their respective nations.

Doting parents, while the Duchess of Cambridge is mother to Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, six, and Prince Louis, three, Crown Princess Mary has four children: Prince Christian, born in October 2005, Princess Isabella, born in April 2007, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, born in January 2011.

However, if Kate Middleton’s middle-class Home Counties upbringing was certainly one of privilege – the British royals famously fell in love while both History of Art students living in the same hall at St Andrews University in 2001, Crown Princess Mary, as the former Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, came from a very different start in life to her husband, Crown Prince Frederik.

Born to a Scottish mathematics professor and his wife on the small island of Tasmania in Australia, thousands of miles from the spectacular Frederik VIII’s Palace of Amalienborg that is now her home in Copenhagen, hers was a completely different world. 

On their respective wedding days:  Kate Middleton marrying Prince William in April 2011. Right: The royal wedding of Prince Frederik of Denmark and Crown Princess Mary, then Mary Donaldson, in 2004

Style synergy: The two women, born ten years apart, have a similar approach to fashion, and have often been spotted wearing almost identical outfits (Kate pictured in London in 2019). Right: Crown Princess Mary, pictured also in stripes in 2016, cycling along with her twins Vincent and Josephine, born in 2011, on a tricycle

She met Prince Frederik, now 53, in a pub called The Slip Inn in Sydney. She was then a 28-year-old sales director for a luxury estate agent, and he was visiting Australia for the 2000 Olympic Games.

Famous for dating Scandi models and even a pop star, it was apparently love at first sight for the prince, nicknamed ‘Fred’. They married in 2004 and Mary was taken under the wing of Frederik’s mother, the formidable Queen Margrethe II, herself a graduate of Cambridge and the Sorbonne. 

Similar to Kate, Mary quickly knuckled down to the job, was soon fluent in Danish and has established herself as a hugely popular figure within Denmark, where she is still held in high regard by the country’s inhabitants. 

 On occasion, the British royal and the Danish royal have even donned the same outfit, with Kate wearing this chic navy patterned dress with a white collar in 2020 to visit NHS staff, and Crown Princess Mary wearing exactly the same outfit on a visit to Indonesia in 2019

The royal counterparts both share a confidence in their fashion – with a laid-back approach to how they’re perceived in public. Left: The Duchess of Cambridge visiting a settlement of the Kalash people in Chitral, Pakistan, in 2019. Right: Crown Princess Mary wearing traditional hearwear during a 2018 visit to the Kalama Conservancy in Kalama, Kenya

The parallels between Kate and Mary extend further. There’s a clear style synergy between the two women that have seen their royal wardrobes – both casual and formal – mirror each other. Whether it’s relaxed clothes perfect for more rustic outings, or donning historic jewels and gowns for public occasions, both women appear assured in their sense of style.  

And each has acclimatised to the accompanying scrutiny of royal life with aplomb. Earlier today, a confident Kate proved once again that she can turn her hand to whatever a royal engagement requires without Prince William by her side. 

In casual attire, she visited the Stenurten Forest Kindergarten and was snapped chopping wood alongside a group of children. The mother-of-three appeared relaxed in a grey jumper, which she paired with her £209 green Seeland wax jacket and a simple pair of black jeans. She finished off her look with her £170 boots from celeb-loved brand Blundstone.

A very hands-on Duchess! Kate threw herself into activities while at the kindergarten earlier today just outside Copenhagen, even taking part in some wood chopping with children 

The mother-of-three took a seat alongside a group of children as they took part in a series of activities during the day-out in Copenhagen today

The royal was seen taking part in several activities at the forest kindergarten, including splitting wood with a hammer and racing around the grounds hand-in-hand with local children.

Later today, the Duchess will continue her support of Crown Princess Mary by joining her to visit a project supported by the Page 2 of 2 Mary Foundation, founded in 2007 by the Danish royal, to protect vulnerable women and children from domestic violence.  

The Duchess will also learn about how Denmark promotes infant mental wellbeing alongside physical health, and how it harnesses the power of nature, relationships and playful learning in the first five years of life.
