Speaker 3 (00:26):
Callan's entertainment report is on the Press show Fred Did
you see this? Our girl Karen Reid, who was found
not guilty in the death of her boyfriend Boston copp
John O'Keefe, has filed a lawsuit accusing members of the
Massachusetts State Police.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Of framing her for his murder. So she is suing
and as she should.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
She walked out of court of course, earlier this year
after more than three years and two trials, so she
was put through the ringer. And this lawsuit says was
all resulting from the gross misconduct of the State Police
and those working in tandem with them.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
AKA I'm talking to you, AMBEV.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
By the way, this is how the lawyers get paid.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This is what's really well, my guess would be if
they this was all a gamble, because the whole thing
the whole time was that the lawyers weren't get paid
because they didn't have any because she didn't have any money.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But then if they win Alan Jackson, then I would
imagine that they get a piece of all these civil
suits and any kind of deep book deals and Netflix deals.
So I think what they were doing was they were
betting on the future. It's like, hey, if we win,
because there's no way that they're not going to take
their piece of all this. Yeah, you know what I mean,
all the civil suits, all the entertainment deals, all that. Yeah,
(01:38):
so then that's how he's getting his Plus he won
Alan Jackson and those guys they all won. Now they
can say that they beat the system, right, and look
at me, I'm shuret to get all kinds of.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Work now for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
And going up against the police, I mean that's a
hard thing to do. But also, like even just as her,
I would want to sue too, because there's so.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Many I'm not saying it's not principally right, right. If
she didn't do it, they put her through is crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And just the investigation and the way they were talking
about her, it was just it was just so, yes,
we'll see what happens, and yeah, I'm sure they'll probably
also get money just from it being such a huge case, right,
I mean, but I guess yeah, they were doing it
for free. It looks like Kelsey Ballerini singer if you
don't know, and Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes are broken
up again after what friends are calling a roller coaster relationship.
(02:25):
So the pair who dated for nearly three years, officially
ended things this past September. Then for a second there
it looks like they got back together this month. But
yesterday Chase hopped on Instagram decided to include us in
their breakup, which I appreciate as you know, and posted
a pair of cryptic Instagram stories.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
The first one read, don't believe the media.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm blocked. I did nothing wrong. Sorry I tried to
which people were writing, it's very much giving that you
did something wrong, right, Why do you feel they need
to say that? The next read, I'm sorry for those
who believed in us. It is what it is. Onwards
and upwards. So I guess I checked. She doesn't follow him,
so she must actually have him blocked. But he's sorry
and he tried, right, Like, what what would possess you.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
To post that kind of story? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
He's going through it yesterday right, very much so in
real time and last time.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And I was counting on them, you know, at Thanksgiving,
we were going to we were going to express our
gratitude for that relationship at the Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I actually thought they were so sweet.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But but like, I don't who was he apologizing to,
Like fans, I guess, I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
They These couples talk about it all the time, like
christ and Bealn Dack Shepherd will say, like the pressure
of people being like you're the reason I believe in
love sometimes gets a lot, especially if you're having issues
in your relationship and you feel like the weight of that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I guess, but I guess I've never I mean, sure,
I'm sad when couples break up, you know that have
been together for a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's like, that's sad, But it doesn't. It doesn't. My
identity is not attached to it. That's the people for you,
God forbid.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey of my break up, people
are going to be devastated by They'll be so upset.
But but I think people will take it five thousand
times too far and be far too dramatic about it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Guys, that's their life.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You know. You shouldn't hinde your happiness on someone else's happiness.
Like people are gonna, oh my good, can you imagine
what would happen? And I'm sure they do feel a
lot of pressure about that. But how about focus on
your relationships.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Can you think of a couple though, maybe that you
know in real life, then that's like you're like you
look at them and you're.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Just like, wow, that's a great relationship. Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, I don't know one couple.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know one couple who I look at and say,
I know couples that I respect. I know couples that
love each other and I think that's wonderful for them.
I don't look at one couple and say I must
have that life, not one. You know, first of all,
I've never met the man. The first full frontal shot
I got on the guy was in your engagement photos,
(04:50):
and I was yeah, full frontal, full frontal, Yeah, Ela,
and I I noticed. I don't even think you. I
don't know that you particularly you didn't even acknowledge it.
But I wrote in the comments, what a stud I
think he is?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Okay, well, I.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Think you didn't like that because because I already said
you're amazing. So but it was time for me to
recognize my man over there.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That's a big Jim.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I know that that video was a lot about you,
but he was featured, and it was the first time
I saw the guy. And I'm like, that's a good
looking guy. Yeah, that's a stun. He's a stud. And
I get it now. Okay. I don't get why he
made you wait seven and a half years, but I
understand the appeal.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Good looking dude.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Okay, but you don't want you don't think it's a
dream to have his life.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I kick you're my sister. I do have this life
without the sex. Okay, So I do.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Have his life.
