Speaker 1 (00:41):
Cawin's Entertainment report is on The Fread Show.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Okay, so there's a lot to this story. I'm gonna
try to give you just the short version. But Mandy Teefe,
the mother of Selena Gomez, had to issue a statement
after employees accused her of a whole bunch of things,
including snorting, Riddlin in her mental health startups office.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, so if you missed it, The Cut released.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
An expose a featuring anonymous employees accusing her of very
erratic behavior, including hallucinating a break in, sleeping at the
office for days, and frequently getting injections of liquid benadryl,
which she alleged that they were vitamin IV drips. So
she told him there were one thing, and they're saying
(01:23):
that they heard this nurse say they were another thing.
One anonymous staffer claimed that they called her office a
drug den the employees there, while another said, yeah, I know,
this is like very wild. Well, another said that they
were actually in her office when they saw what she snorted.
What appeared to be ritalin, which is an ADHD medication,
(01:44):
but they say they saw her snort a line of it.
Mandy released a statement saying I started Wondermine because I
wanted to help people with mental illness. It's unfortunate that
a few disgruntled employees with an extra grind can spread
lies about me and distort the truth. And they actually
experienced some issues earlier this year. They had to fire
like sixty percent of their employees. So I don't know
(02:05):
if this has something you to do with that. But
staff also claimed that she would go through phases of
sleeping in the office and seem to stay for days
without bathing or changing our clothes. Also said that she
would be seen through the glass walls of her office
watching Shit's Creek for hours in the middle of the
work day. That right, I don't know what betting it
right now, that's not a problem. Surrounded by takeout boxes
(02:27):
and packages from luxury brands. She said that she did
occasionally sleep there because she couldn't drive at night because
she has seizures. I mean, this goes on and on
with the accusations. McDonald's Crispy Kream boxes just piling up
with flies all around it. So she's saying this isn't true.
(02:47):
Her people are saying it's she's working hard, that's why
she's staying there, sleeping there.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
But employees are saying, no, she.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Would be really sleepy and then she'd be really like
lots of erratic behavior.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And I never expected to hear that story this week,
So it's kind of crazy. Speaking of crazy, Darth Vader's
screen used lightsaber from The Empire Strikes back in nineteen
eighty and Return of the Jedi in nineteen eighty three
sold for three and a half million when it hit
the auction block from a prop store in la yesterday,
becoming the highest valued piece from the Star Wars franchise
(03:20):
ever up for auction. The winning bid came in at
a franchise record of just under three million, but it
reached the final total with the additional buyers premium that
is paid.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
To the auction house. So that's one expensive lightsaber.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I don't know if you're playing with that with your friends,
because I wouldn't you know, I'd be scared to break it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But there you go. And if you missed it, this week, the.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Very steamy first trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of
Withering Heights starring Margo Robbie and Jacob Alrdi.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Drop this week.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Jacob a shirtless Margo has her fingers in his mouth.

theater right now, location, right now, right my English. Did
you guys have to read Withering Heights? I did not,
You didn't I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay. So it's considered.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
One of the greatest pieces of literature It was published
in eighteen forty seven. Very old novel, but it follows
two families and their turbulent relationship that they have with
one of the family's foster son, Heath Cliff Keith Cliff,
who was played by Jacoba LORDI. Margo and him have
a steamy you know, it's a whole it's a whole thing.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
It looks like carry around as an English major, I
to carry around like an eighty pound Shakespeare book. It
was green and had like Bible pages in him huh
because it was so thick, because it was so much
I'm like, what is this?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Who was this man? How he had a lot of
time on his hands, a lot of stuff. I had
to do that for a theater too. It's hard to
dissect Shakespeare. I don't know what he talked about. Why
do we have to do that?

like worn out elbows, yes, you know. And I would
have just grown my hair a little longer, slower. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
A pipe, yeah, I see it, some kind of pipe. Yeah,
I would have.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I would have walked up to ladies like somebody was
romantic or something, you know, like, yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I just would have really leaned into the character. But
I didn't do that to be or not to be.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Answer your question, I use it every day.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's why I learned. I use my Shakespeare reading protest
too much. It never works. Shall I compare that you
