okay, moving on from Merit Beauty and moving on from Summer house. We are now. Oh, let's talk about this NFL cheating scandal. Okay. It involves the Patriots head coach Mike Verbel and reporter Diana Rossini. Okay, so if you are or are not a football fan, you can say that you're listening to a sports show right now because we're technically talking sports, even though we're really talking scandal. I've been on a scandal journey while I'm here in D.C. i feel like I'm like, Olivia Pope called. Paging Olivia Pope. I want my. My, my live in fits moment. But so if you have not caught up, I'm going to catch you up. So head coach of the Patriots. Patriots is an NFL football team. For those that don't know sports, he's the head coach. Mike Verbel entangled with Diana Rossini. She's a reporter. What is she not the Atlantic. What does she write for? She writes for some publication. But anyway, so there were intimate photos of them canoodling that were starting to service. Well, first there were, like, rumors there was a photo of them, and they were, like, kind of close together. But he's like, oh, my God, that's a friend. Like, we. It was totally innocent. There's no biggie, because he. He's married, and she's married. Okay. So the first photo comes out, and they're just kind of, like, hanging out together. And it looks a little flirty, but, like, maybe it wasn't right. Like, it could be a toss up up in the air. He downplays it. He denies it. Okay, well, page six, I think, was the first. Was the first to post the story. And then the New York Post came out with even more photos. So it started with, I think they were at a resort, and then now there are photos that are dating back to 2020 of the two of them being intimate and canoodling together, which is also kind of interesting because it's like, who would care to take photos of them over the last six years? But whatever the case may be, they seem to have been having some sort of, I mean, inappropriate affair. Granted, she's, you know, she writes the news, and he coaches the boys kicking the ball on. On the football field. But I. I know you don't. You play football by carrying the ball, but you also kick it at the kickoff. So this has everybody, like, riveted because he came out, he denied it, and then it's like, boom, here are more photos. Boom, here are more photos. And don't even say that this is new and you were overcome by love because now we have photos from you in 2020. So it's like, it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. Fifi says, everybody banging. This is the year of banging. I shall return to banging. Lol. Probably not the male version of Taylor Swift entanglement engagement dress. Oh, who was the male version of a Taylor Swift engagement? Guess Patriots always be cheating. Yes, they do. Danny says, maury more. No, it's Jerry. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. Mory is. You are not the father. And then they're like, ah, I told you. But yeah, this is definitely the year of the bangin. So. Yeah, but. So he's now come out and he's like, I'm taking a step back. He's going to seek counseling because he wants to be the best version of himself. First he was saying, this is a. A private family matter, but there's nothing to this story. And then the photos kept coming out. And then he's like, okay, what's a private family matter? And like, I'm gonna deal with it with my family because I love my family and I'm gonna take a little break to be with my family because my family needs me right now. I'm like, I don't think your wife needs you right now. I think your wife's pissed at you right now. I do not think that your wife wants anything to do with you. She's like, go take your deflated balls and get them out of my face. Lori says, I just think it's between them and their spouses. Lori, you're boring. We want the tea. We want the drama. I mean, west and Amanda, Rebel and Rossini. I mean, everybody's just out here cheating. Well, I guess Western. Well, we don't know the real timeline with west and Amanda. Danny says yes, they need to do a mori test on those kids. You think it's possible that her kids may not be. That they could be for Bells? No. I mean, six years, that's a long time to be having a something. Fifi says nothing is. We want privacy when you're a public figure. Exactly. Thank you, Fifi. When he needs. What he needs is an attorney. Why does he need an O for a divorce? This is going to be a Mori moment. She had two kids during that affair. I know. I didn't even consider that the kids could be his. But I mean, a six year affair, it is going to have to be a Maury paternity. You were. I didn't even factor that in. Other coaches wives don't like Diana because she was very flirty and text the coaches late at night to hang out. Listen, I don't want to put the scarlet letter on her and slut shame her, but like, girl, what are you doing around all these married men? Especially when you're married, to never trust a reporter. Never Trust a reporter. She. She named her oldest son Mike. That's the coaching. Yes, but how old? Okay, let's. Hold on, hold on. Let's do some fact. Some fact checking here. Let's find out how old her kids are. Kids, how many she has and how old are they. Diana Rossini has two sons. Okay. Oh, wow. Her husband is. Is the Shake Shack. Is a Shake Shack exec, Kevin Gold. Is he cute? He's cute. Okay, here, let's pull up some. Okay, let's pull up some photos and then we can do a. Oh, there's like, photos of them, like, in the hospital all together. And then you tell me. I actually. Okay, I can see why she cheated. I'm just going to tell you that I'm pulling up the photos now, but I can. I get it. I totally get it. Okay, so this is her hubby. And not that there's anything wrong. I think he's actually very cute. I think he's adorable. I think he's got a cute, very, like, you know, dad, wholesome vibe. He definitely looks like he likes to imbibe on his Shake Shack. And more power to him. Live your life. This is Verbel. Mike Verbel. I think Mike is. So there's cute, disarming dad and then there's Daddy, and I think she was ready to give a little break. Like, dad was at home playing with the kids and changing diapers while Rossini was out getting banged by daddy, you know? Okay, so she does have two kids. Both. Oh, I thought she had a kid prior to the cheating scandal, but now it seems like. So Michael was born in August 2027, which means Michael was conceived in 2020, which could have been Mike Verbel. Why would you. Oh, this is bad. So her first son, Michael, named after Mike Verbel, presumably was born in 2021. And then her second son, her second kid, Joey, was born in 2022. Interesting. Interesting. Yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes. And so they were first spotted at a bar in 2020. I don't know. Why would. I mean, why would you name your kid after a man that you're having an affair with? But does. Does Daddy know? That's the question. Dad, I think, is assuming, you know, let me pull up the photo of the two of them together out at the bar. They were up in the club, just working on their fitness in his hotel room. I'm not. Look it. Look at the way he looks at her. She's a very attractive woman, and he's a very hot man. Okay, so this is One of the photos of them together and it's like, oh, that's nothing. And like, arguably it could have been nothing, but now it's like there are just so many photos of them together holding hands, being super intimate. It's just, you know, Oh, here's a. A thread. But who's taking all these photos is the real question. Do you think her husband or his wife could have hired, like, a private detective to look into this? Maybe there were some suspicions here. Let's go through the other photos that have come out. I'm going to do a screen share from Instagram. This is from fos. I don't know what. Oh, duh. Front of Office sports. And so these are the photos of the two of them together. So there are these photos. There's Mike and Diana. She. Okay, the athletic is what she is, who she writes for. That's why I was like, the Atlantic. I was like, no, it's not that. It's the athletic. Apparently they were being shopped around. An anonymous tipster sent the photos to TMZ asking for four figures. These photos worth four figures. Okay, so this is them at a resort. They're out by the pool. This is them, like, holding hands and hugging. This has to be a private detective. Rebelle has called the story laughable and the attention in his and the interactions innocent because this was just them hanging out. And then there was them at the bar. So it says photographs of Patriots head coach Mike Verbel and NFL insider Diana Rossini hanging out at an adults only Arizona resort were shopped around before they were ultimately published by the New York Post earlier this week. This was two weeks ago. This was April 10th. TMZ received a tip about the photos of Rebelle and senior NFL insider for the Athletic. FOC has learned an anonymous tipster reached out to the outlet saying that Verbel was hanging out with an unidentified woman. When TMZ staffers evaluated the photos, they eventually realized it was Rossini. The anonymous tipster was not from a known paparazzi or photo agency because I don't think any paparazzi give that much of a shit about Mike Verbel. Maybe now they're all going to be hounding him. This has to be like a. A reporter or not a reporter. Sorry, a private investigator. It has to be. I heard the husband hired a private investigator. That's what I'm thinking. And then this was like a way to publicly shame them or embarrass them. They're worth more. So asking for four figures. Oh, duh. Four figures is Like a thousand dollars. One to nine is four figures. I don't know why. In my head, five figures would be like ten plus and then six. I don't know why my brain thought six figures. That's. Okay, so four figures isn't much. Like five grand that Pay the money. Pay the money and bring Nancy Guthrie home. That's what pay the bitcoin. Someone reported that the spouse hired. Okay, so my theory is correct. What a treat. An affair, a chain scandal. Probably a PI you'd have to be a super fan to know who these two are. This is absolutely a P.I. absolutely a P.I. they got caught. Her husband is cute, though. Like, he's cute. He's a little doughy, but I like a little doughy man. And then verbel is just like a hunger hung. A burning love. Okay, hubby or philander? Which one are we going with? What is Mike's middle name? I don't think Mike has. Oh, imagine. Imagine if Mike Rebel's middle name was Joey Joseph. That would be so messy. 3. There are pictures of them together. And. Yeah. Yeah. For six years this has been going on. I wonder if the husband looks so innocent. I know. That's why I don't want to believe that he hired a private investigator and then tried to leak the photos to tmz. Yeah, I mean, there should have at least been a five figure ask. Four figures is nothing. Nothing. The husband does look so innocent. But, like, maybe that's why she just needed somebody to, like, choke her a little. And her husband was like, sweetie, I can't choke you. I have to. I. I want to hold your heart and take care of it. Like, he just looks like the sweet guy that opens the door for you and pulls the chair out for you at dinner. And she was probably bored of him. Phoebe says, I like the husband. Mike will toss her when the excitement is gone. Well, that's what she likes, is where. When. When he tosses her in bed and she's like, I presume, right? Speculation. You do crazy when you've been cheated on. I guess, but. Okay, so my thought is, what if he caught them initially? Right? What if there was speculation caught that or one of the spouses caught them initially and then was like, I know you're cheating on me. And they're like, no, I'm not. And they're like, I know you're cheating on me. And they're like, no, I'm not. And they're like, cut it off. Knock it off. Stop doing this. And then they're like, okay, fine. I'll stop doing this. And then years go on. The affair continues. Maybe things took a little pause in 2020. We had two kids. And then from there, afterwards, she's like, oh, I'm sick of these kids. I need. I need a good lay in the haystack. Like my old buddy Mike Verbel from 2020 used to give me. He used to give me that Covid. You know, she was. I mean, if she got pregnant and it's Mike's baby and that was Covid. Era. She was out there risking her husband's lungs just to have a little toss in the sack. She was consistently talking about how average he was. Who? Her husband, Kevin. She was saying Kevin was so average, like his. His. Or like his dick or like what? He chokes, he chore. He chores her. I think he meant chokes her up. They were hooking up before she got married. No way. Didn't husband. No way. Didn't husband know prior to having a son and allowed her to. Oh, that's a good point. That's a good point. The husband wouldn't have allowed her to name the baby Mike if he had already known. Pro in 2020. That. Yes, that makes more sense. But who took the photo in 2020? Like, that's the thing. Who's taking the 2020 photos, and who's taking the 2026 photos? Somebody had to have known that this was an ongoing thing. Unless maybe Mike's wife found out and she hired a private investigator and then had him knock it off. Right. And then maybe. Or it could be maybe somebody that knew Mike was married, they were out with him, and they were. Or they saw him out and they were like, blackmail or I'm gonna get back at him some way. I don't know. Somebody has known that this affair has been going on for six years, and I don't think that the PI Would have known. And to the point about the baby's name being Mike and her, you know, her. What. What do we call him? Her. She heard. What would we call it? Like, what is the man's. I mean, he's not. Do we call the man the homewrecking whore? Like, what is the homewrecking whore equivalent for the man in this situation? Yeah. Coach's wife. Yeah. Assistant be getting revenge. Exactly. That's what I'm thinking. It may have been. I think initially it was an assistant. It was somebody at the start that you was going to use this as leverage against Mike, probably knowing that he was cheating. They probably liked his wife. And then eventually the private investigator came to capture these newer photos because these new photos of them, like, at the resort and stuff, together. That's not a paparazzi, and that's not just a random bystander. That's somebody that was intentionally following them because they thought that they were in the clear. This was like a Coldplay situation. A Sancho. That's hilarious. A bastard. Crazy. Crazy, y'. All. Y' all be crazy. Dot. Bo says it's definitely a juicy, messed up story, but I feel bad for the sun. Michael, what's sad? That's sad. The not knowing. Well, okay, well, first of all, the kids are young enough. They don't really understand what's going on. Michael's what, five, maybe six at this point? My nephew was in dentist school in CT, and she connected with him on an app, probably 2017. She said he was too young, though. Interesting. Well, yeah, she clearly likes him older. She likes herself a daddy. Okay, let's dive into the. The David story. Oof. Okay, fair warning, it's a dark one. So for those who don't remember, there's a singer. His name is David. His real name is David Anthony Burke, but he goes by the name David as, like, a performer, but it's spelled d, the number 4, and then vd, so d4. Vd, but it's pretty pronounced David, so the 4 is to be like an A. But anyway, so he was formerly charged with first. First degree murder. He also was charged with essay of a minor and mutilate. Mutual mutilation of a body. Sorry. Mutilation of a body. He's pleaded not guilty. Because if you'll remember, last year, there was a Tesla that was registered at David. He was on an international tour. He was on a Justin Timberlake world tour. And somebody reported that there was a foul smell coming from a Tesla, so investigators came to check it out. They checked it out. There was a foul smell. They opened the trunk, the front trunk, because Teslas have their junk in the trunk in the front. And so they open up the trunk, they find the body in there. The body is chopped up and put in a bag. They collect it. They find out that it's this young girl, her name is Celeste Hernandez, and. And she went missing the year prior. Okay. She was 13 at the time that she went missing. And I believe she was. Would have been 15 by the time that they found her. She was missing for over a year. So she was 13. And then her 14th birthday. She went missing right before her 14th birthday. And then she was found, I believe, just after her 15th birthday. Terrible. S. Sad. Awful. So initially, investigators go after David and they're like, whoa, this car is yours. Why is this young girl, this teenage girl? Why is her body in your car? And he's like, whoa, I don't know. However, I'm cooperating, right? And he seems to be cooperating with authorities. He seems to be like, however, I can help solve this murder. And it's also interesting. He's, I believe now 21. She. She would have now been 15. So that's what, a six year age difference. So when she was 13, he was 19. So still teenagers, but still wildly inappropriate. She's 13 years old. 13. A baby, a child. No business being involved with anybody that's 19. Crazy, right? This isn't like you're in high school and you know, you're 14 and he's 16, or you're 16 and he's 18 and like, which even like, listen, it's murky water, right? It's murky territory. But this is an even greater, like he's six years older than her. That's insane. So eventually he gets arrested and it's like, what. Why did he get arrested? He's like, I'm innocent. And then he ends up being charged formally with, as I mentioned, first degree murder, SA of a minor and mutilation of a body. He has so far pleaded not guilty, currently being held without. By. Without bail. He's. But his legal team is now trying to rush to get some sort of judgment. So the prosecutors say that they've gathered an enormous amount of digital evidence. They claim that they have about 40 terabytes, which is a lot. But they're claiming that there was illegal inappropriate content surrounding minors. I'm trying to say this in a YouTube friendly way, but so you can put those pieces together. Illegal content involving minors. It's, you know, inappropriate content, I will say, but. So they claim that they found that. Which then would lead to the theory that, well, clearly he was into younger, you know, people that were much younger than him. But they also claimed that there was a. Yeah, a significant amount of essay. Young. Essay abuse. So essay of young people, young kids, which they I believe are using as potential evidence to show that maybe he was into something and maybe it went wrong, I don't know. But when they did it finally examine her body, it was initially believed that it was going to be hard to tell what happened to her, being that she was in the trunk or was at least her body was decomposing for all this time, presumably in the trunk. This Entire time. I don't know if somebody put her in that. In the trunk recently or if she was somewhere else or what the case was, but it's rough. They do have a preliminary hearing that's expected to begin in or expected to happen in May. I don't know if there's an official date that has been set yet, but. So as of right now, it's believed that he had an inappropriate relationship with Celeste, this young girl. They believe that he killed her. They believe that. You know, says they believe. They're alleging that he killed her to prevent exposure of abuse and protect his career. Okay. So it looks like they think that he may have been abusing her and to prevent that from getting out. Like, maybe she was going to tell somebody. Maybe she threatened him in some way. Maybe she said that she was gonna tell a friend, tell a family member. I don't know. But it is believed that she had. It says that from the coroner's report, there were multiple penetrating injuries. So I'm assuming that means she was likely stabbed, if I'm understanding that correctly. And then two of her fingers were also missing, and I don't believe have been found. So I don't know. I don't know. Business soul says first time found you on Megan Kelly's channel. Love, love, love your hair and style. Your comments on Blink were so good. Bully, mean girl, tone deaf. Yes. All the bully, mean girl, tone deaf of Blake Lively. I'm thinking a fan snapped a picture. Oh. Of their favorite football coach without realizing what they caught. Possibly. Oh, that's a good idea to go back to the Verbel NFL Patriots cheating scandal. Maybe it was a fan. Yes. Like a dude who's like, oh, my God, Coach Mike is here. Coach Verbel is here. Snap. And then now that the story has come out, now they're like, oh, wait, actually. And then that would mean that the wife and the husband didn't know about it at the time, but they could have hired a private investigator more recently. And the private investigator cut the recent photos of them. That's really smart. And then once the story broke, that's when somebody was like, wait, I have a photo. I met. I remember that time we saw Mike for Bell out at the bar. Oh, yeah. Oh, is that the lady that he's having an affair with? Oh, give it to tmz. Smart, smart. Sorry, I didn't mean to piggyback off that. I just saw that in the live chat. But yeah, so we'll see what happens. David has his hearing. That's coming up the interesting thing is the prosecution. Not the prosecution. Well, the prosecution seems, like, very confident in their case, but David's legal team is also very confident that the evidence would prove that he did not do this. And. And remember initially when the details were coming out or when he was first arrested, I was like, could it be that somebody tried to frame him? Now that the more evidence comes out, I don't know why he's. I mean, I guess you have to so boldly be like, we're not guilty. I don't know. It doesn't look good for him. And this poor girl, she was a baby, 13 years old when she went missing. I don't know. It's just sad. It's sad. It's awful. Case is coming up, so we'll see what. Or. Sorry. The hearing is coming up, so we'll see what the prosecution is ready to deliver in terms of evidence, but it seems like they feel confident in the case. But David's legal team also feels confident. Dav. They say that he's innocent, and the evidence will prove that. But I'm not sure what evidence. I mean, both parties claim to have evidence that will prove their version of what they believe happened. And I just don't know if I. Because at first I was like, maybe it was an assistant, maybe it was a sibling, maybe it was a friend that did this. But, I mean, the theory does check out more that he was trying to protect his career. But also, why would you leave her in a trunk of your car? Like, it just. But also, he's young and dumb and. And yeah. Are you still in D.C. yes, Bo. I'm actually headed to the airport right after this, so I am currently still in D.C. but I will be leaving D.C. shortly. All right, guys, I do have to run.
