If you (like me) are a true crime fan, you know that a sinister gem recentlyappeared on Netflix. DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story tells thestory of (you guessed it) Jeffrey Dahmer – who has 17 sickening murders to hisname.

I started this series yesterday and oh my, this is dark.

Everyone is talking about the Jeffrey Dahmer docuseries on Netflix

Last Wednesday, Netflix put the docuseries about Jeffrey Dahmer online, wherein ten episodes the story of Jeffrey Dahmer (better known as MilwaukeeMonster ) narrate. Dahmer gruesomely robbed 17 different men and boys between1978 and 1991 (realize how long he was allowed to do his own thing).

A fictionalized account of real events, the series also takes a critical lookat systematic racism, white privilege, homophobia and the institutionalfailure that allowed Dahmer to kill.

Jeffrey Dahmer: Drilling, Cannibalism and Hydrochloric Acid

If you’re not already familiar with Jeffrey Dahmer’s bizarre working method,hold on tight. Jeffrey has a whopping 17 victims to his name, most of whom areminors and POC. He killed these boys, sawed them to pieces and then kept themin his fridge or freezer, or dumped them in a barrel of hydrochloric acid.Later it turned out that he also ate parts of his victims.

Another thing Dahmer did: he drilled a small hole in the skull of his (stillliving) victim and poured in some hot water with hydrochloric acid. In thisway he “created” his own brain-dead sex slaves, after which the boys diedafter a few days. Too bizarre.

In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested. You can see how that went in the firstepisode of DAHMER.

DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Back to the series (which quite graphically depicts Dahmer’s murders) that haseveryone captivated. And besides the events being sickening, the A-classproduction (the series is directed by Emmy winner Ryan Murphy) and cast alsoensures that the series is a hit. Not even a week later, the series is alreadynumber 1 in trending on Netflix.

The cast and production

Jeffrey Dahmer is played by Evan Peters, who we know from American HorrorStory. And the scary thing is, Evan looks a lot like the real Dahmer. We alsosee Richard Jenkins, Niecy Nash, Molly Ringwald and Penelope Ann Miller.

And not to forget: credits to the setdresser of this series. The internet wentwild about the similarities between the series and Jeffrey Dahmer’s realapartment, these are identical.

The internet is under the spell of DAHMER

You understand, everyone shared their opinion on Twitter.

The generation of students that graduated this year from the Dutch FilmAcademy and the film courses at the various art academies and colleges haveone thing in common: they completed their studies during the pandemic andtherefore had to spend a large part of their time behind their desks, a zoomscreen or with small, scaled-down productions learn their trade and determinetheir position in a highly competitive industry. And that while film is asocial medium, making is a group process, a sum.

And then the world opened up again and they could start making their movies.About seventy were submitted to the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF) this year,thirty of which were selected and nine nominated for the four student prizesawarded on Monday at the NFF in Utrecht. As usual, they tell many personalstories. But it is also striking that all those nominees look from the smallto something bigger. While there was quite a lot of nagging in Dutchgraduation films in the past decade, especially in comparison with othercountries, this year a more settled impression dominates. Could it be becausethe creators had more time to think? To watch other films and thus build alarger frame of reference? Are you learning to make movies not only with yourhands, on set, but also with your eyes, in front of a screen?

Alienation and Disconnection

The EY Talent Award went to the film poem Void Between Us and the NFF TalentAward was presented to the light magic-realist About a pastor on rain boots.Both films respectively seek a visual and a scenario-technical form to expressa sense of alienation and disconnection.

The KNF prize of Dutch film journalism went to the HKU graduation film_frantic attempts_ who found a satirical form for the questions of life thatarise from that same feeling of not being able to make contact with the world(anymore). A mudfucker -like eternal adolescent is sent to a sense-makingcourse by his pregnant girlfriend and quickly turns into a fraudulent self-help guru. Until he meets someone who is just really lost.

Rosa Ruth Boesten, who graduated from the Film Academy in 2013, was alsoawarded on Monday. She won the Film Prize of the City of Utrecht for bestdebut for Master of Light , a portrait of painter George Morton for whom hisart is a way to rehabilitate after his imprisonment. Her film also receivedthe Grand Jury Prize at the Texas South by Southwest festival this spring.

Observing images

Growing up is a theme in all these films. Sometimes it doesn’t work, as in_frantic attempts_ and in the short documentary Boy from Wood by EvaOosterveld (Film Academy, three nominations). Fourteen-year-old Stijn isexpelled from school because of aggression and substance use. He has to workin a wood workshop. Calm observational images show the hopelessness of hissituation. Finding hope in half an hour of film may also be asking too much.

A portrait of ‘better late than never’ coming of age shows the beautifulmelancholic stop-motion animation rotten. Anej Golcar of the Willem deKooning Academy received two nominations for the story about sixty-year-oldHarry, who finds his own voice after the death of his mother in a house whereevery object is an echo pit for her grumbling – thanks to a mouthpiece.

Also It Will Rain is about a coming-of-age, but on a larger scale. DirectorAmir Zaza, who came to the Netherlands as a refugee from Syria, processedsemi-autobiographical memories about two brothers who are arrested andtortured after peaceful protests in Damascus. The flashback structure of thefilm constantly links life-threatening situations to a painful present. Inthis it becomes clear that fleeing is not only about preserving life, but alsoabout shame and regret. The film received awards thanks to the Fentener vanVlissingen Fund Award for best artistic achievement for production designerMuhammed Berber, but as a whole is one of the most thoughtful and maturefilms.

The student films tell Void Between Us after still a lot of stories from menabout worrying men. That says just as much about the juries as it does aboutthe programs and the students. Throughout the weekend, the NFF discussed howthe Dutch film industry should be more inclusive. A lot is already happening.But the training courses must also play an active role in this. Especially nowthat there has been so much time for reflection.

In the ‘Disappeared Hockey Players’ series, talents from the past answer thequestion of why they stopped abruptly. In this episode Sam Saxton (29), whobecame world champion with the Dutch Juniors, but two years later followed herheart and chose an adventure as a singer.

Much in life revolves around timing. Three days after the interview in coffeebar Vascobelo in Amsterdam, the musical career of the former player ofBloemendaal and Hurley reaches a milestone. After years of giving shape to hersinging ambitions mainly by providing performances, she now releases her veryfirst single: Misty Days. It can be listened to via this link.

At the end of the interview about her retirement from hockey seven years ago,Saxton says: ‘Now that I think about it, my single has a lot in common with myhockey career. Keep following your own path, even if you encounter bumps alongthe way. I loved hockey, but the world of music attracted me more and more.’

She thanked for Dutch Girls U16

At the age of seventeen, Saxton made the switch from her childhood sweetheartand then transitional division Bloemendaal to Hurley in the big league. Shethen won the world title in 2013 in Mönchengladbach with the Dutch Juniors.She stopped playing hockey two years later.

In retrospect, the first signs may have already presented themselves when shethanked Dutch Girls U16. My week was way too full. School, guitar lessons,training six times a week, I couldn’t do that. One time I was crying in thecar on the way to training. I also felt completely out of place in the team.There was a certain atmosphere that I didn’t like. I played hockey mainlybecause I liked it, not because I wanted to get Orange. Many of those girlshad known each other for years. There was a certain competition amongthemselves, which I did not like at all’, says the former striker about howshe experienced that period.

What I really noticed then is that when you play at the top level you have> to be happy to be selected for those kinds of selection teams Sam Saxton

In addition to some understanding reactions, the fifteen-year-old talent alsoreceived some negative reactions to her decision to stop at Dutch Girls U16.’Some people reacted quite strongly to that. Especially those who put meforward and felt that I owed the selection to them. Even though I didn’t askfor that at all. They thought I was ungrateful. What I really noticed then isthat when you play at the top level, you have to be happy to be selected forthose kinds of selection teams. That is the path you must walk. But thatdidn’t apply to me.’

A few years later, it was Rick Mathijssen – her coach at Hurley and assistantto Raoul Ehren at the Dutch Juniors at that time – who asked her if she wasopen to participating in the selection training sessions at the Young Orange.’My first reaction was that I didn’t want to. My thoughts immediately wentback to the oppressive atmosphere that hung at Dutch U16. But Rick insistedthat there was a completely different vibe at Jong Oranje. He suggested I justgive it a try. I have done that. And let’s be honest: Rick was right. I reallyliked playing in the Dutch Juniors. In the end I am very happy that I didthat, because I had two great years there,” says Saxton, who, in addition tothe 2013 World Cup, also won the 2012 European Championship.

Acting instead of training

Parallel to her hockey career, Saxton set her first footsteps in the musicworld. Around the age of twelve she learned to play the guitar from herparents. Later in life she started singing. Eventually her first performancesfollowed.

‘I took my guitar with me to the Under-21 World Championship. Together with aroommate I wrote a song for the whole team. I think it was always very clearto my teammates that besides playing hockey I also really enjoyed singing.’

Her singing ambitions became increasingly serious when Saxton withdrew fromevening training at Hurley because she had been invited to perform somewhere.’It was a performance I really wanted to do, in a village, on a beautifulstage, with a band. Of course, you don’t just cancel a training. Luckily Rickwas okay with it. But if he hadn’t agreed, I would still have gone to thatgig. I wanted it so badly. In retrospect, you might say that that was thefirst split between me and top hockey.’

End of hockey career

After the world championship, Saxton was still of the age to play for theDutch Juniors, but she no longer stood for election. She and her boyfriendmade a musical journey through Canada. Back in the Netherlands she dared tofollow her heart more and more. Two years after the world title, she hung upon her stick.

‘Besides my increasing interest in music, my persistent back problems alsoplayed a role in stopping hockey. Once in a while I went through my back.Playing for the Dutch Juniors was already quite a challenge with my backproblems. If I wanted to make the step to the Dutch national team, thosecomplaints would only increase, I expected. I didn’t think it was worth it.Moreover, the lure of the music was too great for that. Instead of four timesa week, I started training twice a week during my last months at Hurley. Thatwas ideal for me. But you are on a team. You can’t possibly demand that youtrain less often, but play just as often. That’s why I decided it was time tostop.’

Her first single

With her empty agenda on weekday evenings and weekends, space became availablefor performances. Saxton did not release his own music at that time. Inaddition to her singing career, Saxton also focused on her Psychology studies.

The former hockey star cannot live off music today. However, at the beginningof this year she started working one day a week less to focus more on singing.That resulted in the release of her first single, seven years after shestopped playing hockey.

‘It took quite a while before I released my first single. But that doesn’tmean I’ve been sitting still all these years. I occasionally did some gigs andmade my own music with my boyfriend, which we didn’t release at the time. Inthat time, many ideas arose that eventually grew into a full-fledged albumthat will be released in 2023. I haven’t really missed hockey in all thattime. I do look back on my time as a hockey player with great pleasure. Ithink it’s very cool what I experienced with Bloemendaal, Hurley and JongOranje. I am incredibly proud of that. But the fact that I eventually stoppedwas a good choice.’

with videoThe Flemish singer Helmut Lotti (52), known for his brave,classical-like repertoire, has done something that his fans probably didn’tsee coming. The tenor pulls out all the stops for a ripping cover of metalband Iron Maiden, while his neat clothes don’t stay on.

Latest update: 24-09-22, 17:54

Starting next week, the Belgian radio station Willy will bring a top 1000 withthe best and ‘dirtiest’ rock records ever made. Listeners can now vote andHelmut Lotti, who broke through in 1989 with an Elvis Presley cover in theDutch Sounds mix show , has some advice. According to him _Run to the hills_by the British metal band Iron Maiden from 1982 in the first place. The singerhas special memories of the song.

,,My brother Johan is a hard rock fanatic and played the album The number ofthe beast Iron Maiden used to be flat,” he says. ,, Run to the hills was mypersonal favorite. One day I was singing that song when my father suddenlywalked in. He stood transfixed and said, “Wow, you can sing.” That was thefirst time I got a compliment from my father about my singing.”

And he can still sing, according to the cover he recorded to reinforce hisadvice. It starts quite calmly, with Lotti in a neat suit with a bow. Firsthis jacket goes off and his cool leather bracelet comes out. When hiswaistcoat and shirt are also taken off, it turns out that he is wearing aT-shirt from the band.

Listeners do not know what they are experiencing. ‘Never thought I’d ever hearHelmut Lotti sing metal, but beautifully done’, it sounds under the video onYouTube. “He could be Iron Maiden’s new frontman,” wrote another. This is whatthe original sounds like:

It is not the first time that a singer with a completely different imagebrings out the rock star in himself. Do you have a moment for me – folksinger Frans Bauer once covered you hast from the German band Rammstein:

Although it is not rock, it is a similar outing: opera singer Maria Fiselierwas best singers for a moment a rude rapper:

Despite six years of musical silence, Rihanna (34) is still the second mostsuccessful performer in the Top 40. Finally, the singer returns to the stageand on the intermission show of the Super Bowl. Where was Rihanna all thistime?

Take a look at Rihanna’s website and all you’ll find are posts about lingerie,skincare products, and makeup. The latest lipstick, a nice scent or a bottleof oil for supple skin? Rihanna offers it all.

It fits in with the image that has arisen in recent years of the singer whowas born on February 20, 1988 as Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Barbados. Pop queenRihanna built a real business empire, started her own charity and had herfirst child, a son, in May with American rapper A$AP Rocky.

Although not everything worked out – her own clothing line Fenty wentdefunct after two years – the artist launched several brands in recent years.For example, Fenty Beauty stands for cosmetics, Savage X Fenty __ for lingerieand Fenty Skin __ for skin care products. Not that Rihanna left it at that,she presented several of her own shoe lines in collaboration with sports brandPuma and oh yes, she also has an acting career.

Music has been relegated to second place for years. her latest album, Anti ,dates back to 2016. A new studio album, her ninth, should have been out longago. Reportedly, that is a reggae record, which Rihanna announced for 2019.However, he stayed away and so far the singer has not commented on theproject.

Super Bowl

Still, Rihanna seems busy with new music right now, something that would alignwell with her announcement to perform during the Super Bowl break in February.The American football season finale is one of the most watched sporting eventsin the world. Alone and together with A$AP Rocky, Rihanna has recently beenspotted at a music studio in Los Angeles on several occasions. That will notbe a coincidence, although the question is to what extent her original plansfor the new album have survived.

The Super Bowl intermission has long been a marketing stage that benefits theworld’s greatest artists. From Coldplay to Madonna, from Michael Jackson tothe Rolling Stones and from Lady Gaga to Prince of Beyoncé; all benefited froma huge TV audience. Rihanna will follow up on a whole company on February 12,as the intermission show this year was provided by no fewer than fivecolleagues: Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg.

Her fortieth (!) and last song in the Top 40 may come from 2017 (a guest roleon Wild Thoughts by DJ Khaled), there is still only one artist that Rihanna_(Diamonds, Umbrella, Shut up and drive)_ trumps in success in this chart.David Guetta has been the king of the Top 40 for a year, the lead that Rihannaheld the five years before. She had in turn, very symbolically, replaced thepop queen of yesteryear: Madonna.

It was coming, but now it’s a very well-researched fact: TV is dying and alarge proportion of TV viewers really prefer to stream their content fromNetflix, HBO, Amazon Prime and Disney+. Do you pay much more? Yes and no: WANTeditor Dennis Mons thinks TV is ridiculous anyway.

The bowl of chips with a movie on Veronica (with the necessary irritation),farmer seeks wife watch, or shout with a plate on your lap at the summary ofan Eredivisie match during Studio Sport as if it just happened? It’s really athing of the past for many (I’m kind of betraying my age but oh well).

Classic TV viewing has now really had its day, according to research amongBritons. People really don’t want to watch TV anymore, but rather stream.

Streaming and especially Netflix, HBO and Netflix kill TV

With all due respect, watch what you want to watch. The television is still adevice that you turn on and there’s your stupid SBS6 content that majorproducers think you want to see (and often quite right).

Sorry TV viewers; you are a bit of a gourmand and like that spoon in yourmouth. Not me. So in all honesty I don’t know who Laura Vlasblom is, or whothe people are who show up in Expedition Robinson.

I don’t watch linear TV (except for NPO because it’s free, the news is handyand Lubach is fun).

Opinionsdiffer, but hey… (Image: YouTube/Arjen Lubach)

Pop down and watch what you want on streaming

The research showed (and I bet my two left hands it applies to the lion’sshare of the Netherlands) that viewers are more likely to check streamingservices. 47 percent of Britons even admit to watching less linear television.A TV subscription is therefore not a cheap joke.

A younger target group in particular dances between old-fashioned TV andstreaming, but that is also due to the costs. Because let’s face it: ‘TV’ aswe know it isn’t cheap. A few costs in a row with a random provider (possiblymine but that aside).

Cheap butwhat do you get? (Image: Ziggo)

Streaming versus T-Mobile or Ziggo is spicy

What do you get for a somewhat more extensive package: we take Ziggo as anexample.

You then have access to 70+ TV channels (of course all of the Netherlands,Germany and Belgium, Ziggo Sport, ESPN, etc.). That’s nice, but let’s behonest; a lot of us really aren’t going to zap there. But how much does thatjoke cost? That’s 65 euros per month. But hey, a year with a big discount inthe first instance.

If you just want ‘simple’ TV, it will cost you 21 euros per month and then youwill get 49 HD channels and 50 radio channels that no one listens to. AndZiggo Sport (which is of little use now that ESPN is in charge of F1 andfootball) is temporarily included. So if hockey, korfball, jeu de boules andany other sport is your thing: great choice.

TV vs Netflix, Disney+ and the rest

What are the cheapest streaming deals right now? We tackle the most popular:

Netflix: Apart from the fact that Netflix is ​​increasing its prices, the service isaffordable. For 8 euros per month you can watch what you want on one screen.The thing is that we would like to share our account but that will immediatelycost you 12 euros. If you also want to watch in 4K, you will immediately lose16 euros. Taps a lot, especially because Netflix prefers to kill the sharingof accounts.

HBO Max

At HBO you can also stream for only 6 euros per month. Still a bit cheaperthan Netflix. Of course the offer is less and you only get 5 downloads towatch offline. If you want to go for a Standard subscription, it will cost you2 euros more, you watch in 4K and you have a maximum of 30 downloads. Worth itin our opinion.

Streaming on Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is a wonderful option to watch a lot of series and movies forlittle money. And apart from Prime for 2.99 euros you can add all the channelsthat the company has under its care. In other words, if you’re eager, thatamount can add up considerably.

Old menon the Amazon? (Image: Amazon Studios)

Disney+

In all honesty, Disney+ is a blessing: everything placed under that banner isavailable to all members of the family to see. From Star Wars until_Pinocchio_ and from Welcome to Wrexham until futurama : it’s all yours(kinda). And then there are countless films and series from Star, amongothers, that fall under the Disney + flag. Is that cheap? No: a subscriptioncosts you almost 9 euros per month.

Severaltoppers from the Disney stable. (Image: Lidl)

Streaming is not a replacement for TV

In other words: when it comes to your wallet, it’s better to take out astandard TV subscription. Some like to look at people who just don’t knowenough about LINGO with the sign on their lap, or the real Airbnb life in thesecond season of Jean-Klaas and Mieke in _Mon Dieu!: It Won ‘t Happen AfterAll? _in the Dordogne.

The above streaming services would cost you 31 euros per month compared tomore than 20 euros + (for the entry-level subscription) linear TV (and you canwatch NPO for free). In any case, it is worth the extra 11 euros to me forcontent that is awesome.

[BLOG] Hey Kicken, what ‘s that? Has the great 538 bashing started, rightaround the time that 538 is exactly 30 years old? First Niek van der Bruggenhas to sing three tones lower and now you have aimed your arrows at Wietze deJager? Well they do it themselves, by doing things on-air that would even getyou rapped on the fingers of the local broadcaster. Now it is Wietze de Jager,morning man at 538, who will tell his listeners in an 8-minute talk (!) thatthe morning show is very tough and he would rather work four days instead offive. What a poverty.

The audio fragment is now massively shared among jocks on whatsapp, the lamentof brand new morning jock Wietze de Jager against his sidekicks, live on-air,during the 538 Top 1000. No less than eight minutes long. Here you lose yourcourage, bring something like ‘entertainment’ in a morning show. Sure you can(and should) be personal, but that doesn’t mean you should just sit around andevaluate with your colleagues on a national station, for the hard-foughtattention of the listener in the morning. Listen and shudder for yourself:

‘Again another song that makes you think ooh how nice isn’t it’. And thenpretend you’re going to bring world news. ‘Paternity leave’. starts music,then newsreader Mart reveals the punch line of the story, Wietze doesn’treact, pretends his nose is bleeding and then goes on to say that he finds itall difficult, combining a morning show with a family with three youngchildren. Not a nice father anymore. And so wants to work four instead of fivedays. Because he wants to take his children to school one day a week. After 9months of morning show, Wietze de Jager is already half giving up, on-air.Compliments. 538 will win the match with you!

I understand his intention, nice talking about your kids on-air to relate withother parents, but with this you completely miss the point. If you already dothis, you prepare this well, you agree with your co-hosts which way the storywill go. No, nice and unprepared to sit around and tell them that youmisunderstood how heavy a morning show is. With Sensation White in thebackground. What shabby content the Dutch radio listener is treated to.

I may be exaggerating it all, but haven’t I already written it down a hundredtimes here: a morning or afternoon show can NOT be combined with raising youngchildren. You could have come up with that yourself in advance, as Klaas vander Eerden rightly points out three times in this talk. Your station managerCoco could have already figured this out. And if you’re going to discuss thison-air for 8 minutes during a hit list, you’re just an amateur. This hasnothing to do with entertainment, this is not cool, this is just first classtinkering. And worst of all, your listener just thinks ‘hey asshole, I have towork 8 hours a day five days a week, poser!’ If you are Edwin Evers who hasbuilt up a lot of credits with his listeners for a long time, then you mightstill get away with such an insider story, but you just came to see 538 thatmorning. Your mission is now all on everything put to win souls, not to sitand act pathetic!

And then they will come back to it a day later by getting listeners into thebroadcast. To speak with Domien: man, man, man. Wietze, you have disqualifiedyourself as a morning deejay for me on this one. Then just stop doing itcompletely, go back to doing something on the weekend and Friday evening andleave the morning to someone who is 200% motivated for it. That is also theonly way to win the competition, as I wrote so often, you don’t just add amorning show. I can hope that Dave Minneboo will have a word with his morningman: either you put everything aside to make this work, or it was a shortadventure for you. This is exactly the same arrogance that your predecessorFrank Dane displayed in the morning and now you’re going to do it all overagain?

Fortunately, on the floors above the Radio 538 studio, people still thinkabout what is fun for the listener. Otherwise, check out these two videofragments of your Talpa colleagues who are now going viral Wietze. Or ask yourcompanion and comedian Klaas van de Eerden for some advice on storytelling, hewill never go unprepared on stage and just gossip without a punch.

Otherwise just move the Veronica morning show to 538, problem solved. TimKlijn seems motivated! Old 538 jock, can go back again, together with thesidekicks of Evers:

Lili Reinhart said she experienced a recent mental health “spiral” fromdealing with body dysmorphia while filming the latest season of Riverdale.

The 26-year-old actress has been open about her struggle with body imagethroughout her career. However, she shared in conversation with Dr. DanielAmen for his interview series Scan My Brain that she had recently been in a”negative headspace” as she witnessed her figure changing on camera.

“I’m constantly exposed to pictures of myself all the time on social media,> on my show, pictures of me on my show, which started when I was 19. So I’m> sort of constantly comparing what I look like now to what I looked like when> I was 19, a child,” she said. “So I’m comparing my body to my own body,> basically, and afraid of the changes that have been happening.”

Reinhart went on to say that she’s been in “a battle” with herself as a resultof that comparison to her younger self. “It’s me vs. me. Me from a coupleyears ago vs. me now and thinking how do I get back to that? How can I looklike that again?” she explained.

As she gets older and faces more changes with her body, it becomes moredifficult for her to deal with.

“It has been really hard the last couple months, specifically dealing withmore noticeable weight gain than I ever have in my life while also being onfilm while it was happening. So shooting my show [ Riverdale ] and havingthat weight gain basically documented on camera, episode by episode, week byweek of my life, my weight fluctuation,” she said. “It felt very much likethis massive problem, this thing that was taking up truly 90% of my braincapacity, I was barely thinking about anything else. Every thought was aboutmy weight, was about what I was eating, how I could lose weight, how I don’tlook how I used to look, how everyone looks around me, how I don’t look likethem. All of my thoughts were about my body and it was very overwhelming and avery negative headspace that I was in.”

Reinhart said that although she’s “coming out” of that most difficult time,she continues to deal with negative body image on a regular basis afterdeveloping body dysmorphia by the time that she was 13 years old.

“My skin was really bad so I started to deal with it, not about my body, butvery much focused on my skin. I was doing my makeup in the dark, like I didn’twant to wake up and turn on the fluorescent lights in my bathroom and stare atmy acne, so I would do it in very dim lighting. at the acne at differentangles and its kind of like a ‘I hate looking in the mirror but I have to’obsessive sort of component there,” she said, explaining that even today if”something’s wrong cosmetically, I’m very attached to it, obsessed with it,have to look at it all the time.”

She also admitted to “obsessively looking in the mirror at my body” throughthe past few months as she gained weight and feeling uncomfortable with thepublic nature of her job.

“My point was that in being in film while that was happening, it’s verydifficult because it was one of the hardest little chapters of my life that Iwasn’t able to experience in private,” she said. “It was just a veryvulnerable, vulnerable thing to go through something so personal in a verypublic way. It was really hard.”

It has also become difficult for Reinhart to feel confident in her efforts tospread positivity on her platform as she experiences such a negative mindsettoward her body.

“It’s hard when I very much try to preach the idea of ​​loving yourself andaccepting yourself, and you don’t have to fit a one-size-fits-all image inyour life, especially as an actor,” she said. “Like it’s OK that I don’t looklike all these other people. And then on the inside feeling like I do need tolook like those people, so it’s a bit of a hypocrisy feeling. Feelingsometimes like a fraud or that I’ m lying to myself or lying to my fans wholook up to me because I am trying to promote these body-positive messages butI’m also still learning them myself.”

While Reinhart is a body-positivity advocate, she has remained honest abouther struggles, speaking out when she has bad body image days and even holdingother celebrities accountable for how they contribute to the conversation.Ultimately, she hopes to normalize those human emotions while being in thespotlight.

“[Body positivity is] not something that I’ve mastered and I don’t wake upevery day feeling like, ‘Oh it’s OK that I don’t look like that.’ There arevery brief moments where I feel that and when I do feel that, I feel empoweredto talk about them and be vocal about them. But the other 90% of the time,it’s the struggling part,” she said. “I want it to happen and I want to fullybelieve it but I’m also still on a daily basis struggling with it.”

Alec Baldwin could soon face criminal charges for Halyna Hutchins’s death. Theactor has repeatedly denied responsibility for last year’s shooting on the setof Peace and recently said it’s unlikely he’ll be prosecuted — but that’s upto the Santa Fe district attorney.

DA Mary Carmack-Altwies filed an emergency request for $635,500, funds shesays are necessary to prosecute up to four people in connection with theaccident. the Los Angeles Times obtained a letter in which Carmack-Altwieslays out that her office is considering homicide charges, as well as gunviolations, against four individuals.

“During the filming of [ Rust ], Alec Baldwin shot and killed HalynaHutchins and injured Joel Souza while rehearsing a scene. Many individuals hadhandled the gun that ultimately killed Hutchins and injured [director Joel]Souza,” Carmack-Altwies wrote in the request, which was also obtained by the_New York Post_.

Carmack-Altwies notes that “one of the possible defendants is well known movieactor Alec Baldwin.”

“Since October of [2021], my office has been waiting for evidence to beexamined by the FBI. The results of the investigation have now been returnedto my office. Only a few items are outstanding but are expected any day,”Carmack-Altwies adds. The DA’s office was granted $317,750 for a potentialprosecution.

Baldwin’s lawyer tells Yahoo Entertainment it’s premature to speculate thatthe actor could be criminally charged.

“Some media reports today draw false conclusions based on a letter from theSanta Fe District Attorney. The DA has made clear that she has not receivedthe sheriff’s report or made any decisions about who, if anyone, might becharged in this case,” says attorney Luke Nikas or Quinn Emanuel. “And duringmy communications with the DA’s office just a few weeks ago, after the August30 funding request was submitted, I was told that it would be premature todiscuss the case because they had not yet reviewed the file or deliberatedabout their charging decision It is irresponsible to report otherwise. TheDA’s office must be given the space to review this matter without unfoundedspeculation and innuendo.”

Baldwin, who was also a producer on the Western film, has claimed ininterviews he did not pull the trigger. However, an FBI forensic reportreleased in August determined the .45 Colt could not have been fired withoutsomeone pulling the trigger. The report also confirmed that 150 live rounds ofammunition were found on the set.

In an interview with CNN, Baldwin once again shifted the blame to HannahGutierrez Reed, who served as the armorer and props assistant on the film, andassistant director Dave Halls, who handed him the gun during rehearsals anddeclared the gun “cold.” (A “cold” gun means it does not contain live ammo.)

“I’m pretty confident neither one of them should ever work in a film setagain,” Baldwin declared. “I sincerely believe… [investigators are] going tosay this was an accident. It’s tragic.”

Baldwin, who just welcomed his seventh child with wife Hilaria, said he’s lostfive jobs in the last year over the incident.

“There are two people who didn’t do what they were supposed to do,” he added.”I’m not sitting there saying I want them to, you know, go to prison, or Iwant their lives to be hell. I don’t want that, but I want everybody to knowthat those are the two people that are responsible for what happened.”

Baldwin hired a private investigator to look into the shooting and felt hewouldn’t be criminally charged. the 30 Rock star said the accident has”taken years off my life.”

This isn’t Baldwin’s only legal headache. He and other producers are facing awrongful death lawsuit filed by Hutchins’s widow, Matt, with whom she sharedone young son.
