LeBron James And Sports World React to Liverpool Soccer Star’s Death

LeBron James and many other figures from the sports world mourned the tragic death of Liverpool soccer star Diogo Jota at age 28.

Jota and his brother, André Silva, 25, died in a car accident in the early morning hours of Thursday, July 3, in the Spanish province of Zamora. The fatal crash occurred less than two weeks after Jota married his longtime partner, Rute Cardoso, in Porto, Portugal, on June 22.

A spokesperson for the Spanish Guardia Civil told BBC News that its initial investigation determined that “the car, which was a Lamborghini, was in a road traffic accident and left the road due to a tire blowout while overtaking.”

“It was in the early hours, 00:30 BST, in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora. The car caught on fire, and the two occupants were killed,” their statement continued.

NBA legend James, 40, was among the sports luminaries to pay tribute to Jota, writing via X on Thursday, “My prayers goes out to his loved ones during this time! May you all be guided and protected! YNWA [‘You’ll Never Walk Alon’e] JOTA!!”

(“You’ll Never Walk Alone” is a show tune from the musical Carousel that is often sung by Liverpool Football Club supporters during matches.)

Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo wrote via social media that Jota’s death “doesn’t make sense” since they only recently played together on Portugal’s national team.

“Just now we were together in the national team, you had just got married,” Ronaldo, 40, added. “To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you’ll always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre. We’ll all miss you.”

Jota’s Liverpool teammate Darwin Núñez acknowledged that “there are no words of consolation for so much pain” following the young athlete’s death.

“I will always remember you with your smile, as a good companion on and off the field,” Núñez, 26, vowed via Instagram. “I send all my strength to his family, from wherever he is I am sure he will always be with you, especially to his wife and his three children.”

Liverpool’s former manager, Jürgen Klopp, penned his own poignant memorial for the promising player he signed to Liverpool F.C. in 2020.

“This is a moment where I struggle! There must be a bigger purpose! But I can’t see it,” Klopp, 58, wrote via Instagram. “I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother André. Diogo was not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father! We will miss you so much!”

Klopp continued, “All my prayers, thoughts and power to Rute, the kids, the family, the friends and everyone who loved them! Rest in peace.”

Liverpool Football Club published a statement on its website to express its athletes’ grief and disbelief over losing one of their beloved teammates.

“Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota. The club have been informed the 28-year-old has passed away following a road traffic accident in Spain along with his brother, Andre,” the organization said. “Liverpool FC will be making no further comment at this time and request the privacy of Diogo and Andre’s family, friends, teammates and club staff is respected as they try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss. We will continue to provide them with our full support.”

Likewise, Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proenca declared that the country’s entire sports community was “completely devastated by the death of Diogo Jota and his brother André.”

“Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 international appearances for the national team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself,” Proenca said. “On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and Andre Silva, as well as Liverpool FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, they played their football.”

Proenca’s statement concluded, “The loss of Diogo and Andre represent irreplaceable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything, daily, to honor their legacy.”

Days before Jota’s death, his wife, Cardoso, shared several photos from the couple’s wedding via social media, remarking that her “dream came true” when she tied the knot with the Liverpool player.

“But I’m the lucky one,” Jota replied.

Jota is survived by Cardoso and their three children: two sons, Dinis and Duarte, born in 2021 and 2023, respectively, and a daughter whose name has not been publicly disclosed.

Celebrities React to the Diddy Verdict: From 50 Cent to Kesha

With Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial concluding on Wednesday, July 2, celebrities have flocked to social media to share their opinions.

The rap mogul was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but was acquitted on two counts of sex trafficking and one racketeering conspiracy charge. Each transportation charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, meaning Diddy, 55, could face up to 20 years.

Since his arrest in September 2024, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian, including the request made after the verdict was read. He will remain in custody until his sentencing in October.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.

Diddy Trial Ends With Partial Guilty Verdict: Daily Updates

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time of his arrest. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Diddy’s arrest came nearly one year after his ex-girlfriend Cassie filed a lawsuit against him accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship, which lasted off and on from 2007 to 2018. One day after the suit was filed, Diddy and Cassie, 38, settled out of court.

The mogul denied her claims in a statement shared by his attorney.

“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” Diddy’s lawyer Ben Brafman said at the time.

Stars React to Video of Diddy Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend Cassie

Many celebrity reactions have referenced Cassie and the video that CNN published in May 2024 showing Diddy kicking and grabbing her in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.

Keep scrolling for more celebrity reactions to the Diddy verdict:

50 Cent

Diddy’s longtime rival 50 Cent shared his reaction via Instagram, posting a photo of himself laughing, alongside the caption, “Diddy beat the Rico,that boy a bad man ! 👏👏👏, he like the Gay John Gotti @50centaction.”

Boosie BadAzz

The rapper has been a vocal defender of Diddy throughout his trial, and he reacted via X, calling it a “great day n hip hop.”

“I’m tired of seeing us Black moguls get took down like that,” he said. He added that he was “tired of seeing us Black people go against us Black moguls like that.”

Diddy Supporters and Critics Fight About Cassie Outside Court Over Verdict

Dez Bryant

The former wide receiver stirred controversy when he claimed Cassie was not a victim in the trial. In a reply to sports reporter Ashley Nicole Moss, who expressed sympathy for Cassie, Bryant, 36, wrote, “I respect your opinions heavy but Cassie wasn’t no victim.. not even close.”

When Moss replied, “We saw her beaten on camera,” Bryant wrote, “I was referring to the freak offs and drugs she chose to participate in…”

“Her getting beat was extremely unacceptable but a lot of you people gotta understand your wife of 15yrs will risk her family for a life style in Hollywood,” he added in another post. “Accountability have to play its part somewhere.”

Bryant continued to double-down in later comments.

“I know you read the rest of my other tweets but you insist to point this one out… a lot of you folks on the internet got real mental issues,” he wrote. “Diddy and Cassie nasty as f***…other than her getting her ass beat on the elevator I don’t have Grace her.. I have daughters and I can promise you they won’t be going down that route…”

Mariska Hargitay

Hargitay didn’t give any comment herself but reshared two images from Glamour magazine via her Instagram Stories.

“We won’t forget what we saw you did to Cassie on that video,” the first one read, followed by, “Combs joins a long line of powerful and famous men who have allegedly engaged in abuse, yet faced minimal consequence.”

How Long Will Diddy Be in Jail? His Possible Sentence Explained

Kesha

Kesha, who herself accused music producer Dr. Luke of drugging and raping her, offered a post via X directed to Cassie. (Dr. Luke denied the allegations and sued her for defamation. The two settled that suit in 2023.)

“Cassie, I believe you,” she wrote. “I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.”

Aubrey O’Day

The former Danity Kane member shared a video of the verdict being announced on CNN via her Instagram Stories, writing “wow” over the post.

“Oh, this makes me physically ill. Cassie probably feels so horrible. I’m gonna vomit,” she said in the video.

She followed up in another slide, writing, “I’m still unpacking the magnitude of it all. The cultural weight of this decision is immeasurable. It is heartbreaking to witness how many lives have been impacted by their experiences with Sean Combs — only for those stories to fall short in the eyes of a judge. I can only hope these jurors never have to watch someone they love endure what so many survivors have described.”

O’Donnell shared her thoughts via Instagram alongside a screenshot of CNN breaking down each charge.

“I guess a jury just never wants to believe that a woman stays because of power and coercion- wow – they just think women stay because what? money – fame – ‘they love the abuse’ – what a f***ing joke – this decision got me angry #cassie,” she wrote.

Evan Rachel Wood

Wood spoke out via Instagram in support of victims in general.

“There is no consent in a domestic violence relationship,” she wrote. “Period. Once the threat of violence is there, you comply. You do not consent. It is self preservation and survival. It is not freely or willingly given. It is forced and coerced out of you. We clearly have a long way to go in our understanding of this.”

Christina Ricci

Ricci sent her support to Cassie via her Instagram Stories.

“Sending so much love and respect to @cassie today,” she wrote. “She is an inspiration and a hero and I stand with her.”

Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry's Family Album With 4 Kids

Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry have a full house — and love sharing milestone moments of their children with followers.

The couple wed in July 2011, starting their family the following year when eldest daughter Riley arrived. She became a big sister in 2015 when Ryan was born, followed by brother Canon in 2018 and brother Caius in 2024.

Since becoming parents, the couple have been most surprised by “the amount of stuff” they can get done every single day. “I feel like I should have invented something,” Ayesha joked to Parents magazine in 2016. “Also, it’s an event to get all four of us out of the house at once. When we get in the car and we’ve brought everything and everybody has socks on, it’s like a dream come true.”

The Full Plate author went on to gush about her husband’s fatherhood skills, saying, “The thing I love about him is that he’s not too cool for school. He’ll get down on the floor and play with the girls. He’ll put on dress-up clothes if he has to, and he’s very patient, which is something I’m not. We balance each other out.”

Ayesha added, “Our Canon Jack turned SEVEN today! 7?! I truly don't know where the time goes. He is the most passionate, empathetic and head strong human being I've ever met. I can't believe God blessed me with the privilege of being his mama. 🥰🥹”

'Love Island USA' App Receives More Than 1 Million Votes in Just 6 Minutes After Dramatic Challenge

As tension builds in the villa, fans are taking to the Love Island USA app to make their voices heard.

The Stand on Business challenge on Tuesday, July 1, led to a new show record as the Love Island mobile app received more than 1 million votes in the first six minutes, according to Deadline. The internal date noted that after the less than two hour voting window closed, the app had received votes from more than 3 million unique users.

Fans are asked to vote multiple times throughout the season to affect the outcome of the show. Earlier in season 7, the results led to a recoupling where Jeremiah Brown was paired off with Iris Kendall instead of Huda Mustafa, Hannah Fields was selected to be with Pepe Garcia over Charlie Georgiou and Olandria Carthen swapped Taylor Williams for Jalen Brown.

One week later, Hannah and Jeremiah were dumped from the island after they were one of the people with the least amount of support from the public. Since the app relaunched in May, it has grown an average of more than 100,000 unique users per day. The app has added more than 1 million new users since Tuesday with over 5 million unique users.

Who Runs 'Love Island USA' Stars' Social Media While They're in the Villa?

The Love Island USA Islanders live in isolation and are under constant video surveillance while searching for The One in a luxury villa in Fiji. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and to stand a chance to receive the prize of $100,000.

The passion for the outcome of the show has led to the network reminding fans not to take their passion too far.

“The keyword in Love Island is … love. We love our fans. We love our islanders,” read a statement from Peacock that aired in a June episode. “We don’t love cyberbullying, harassment or hate.”

Host Ariana Madix has also had to step in. “I do want to say something to some of those people who are online,” she said on Aftersun. “Don’t be contacting people’s families. Don’t be doxxing people.”

Kylie Jenner Reveals She's in a ‘Love Island’ Group Chat With Hailey Bieber

Ariana continued: “Don’t be going on islanders’ pages and saying rude things. You still have time to delete all of that because the islanders don’t have their phones. So we are giving you a chance because this is a fun, amazing and beautiful show. We should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves.”

The record-breaking voting comes as the villa is at odds. During Tuesday’s episode, the Islanders had to write letters to each other — signed or anonymous — where they called them out in front of everyone. This led to several falling outs including between Huda and Chelley Bissainthe following the former’s makeout session with Ace Greene in an earlier challenge.

New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

Priyanka Chopra Explains How Daughter Malti 'Gets Away With Murder'

When it comes to the little white lies a parent tells their child, Priyanka Chopra Jonas admits there aren’t many she tells her daughter, Malti, 3.

While a guest on Kylie Kelce’s podcast “Not Gonna Lie,” Kelce and Chopra Jonas discussed the fibs they tell their kids. Kelce, 33, admitted to telling her four girls that the TV in their minivan only works during long car rides, while Chopra Jonas, 42, often tells Malti that the internet isn’t working in the house.

But that’s about where the lies stop, Chopra Jonas admitted, because when it comes to Malti, she can get away with anything.

“She’s the most precious thing in our lives and was such a miracle anyway that she gets away with murder with me,” Chopra Jonas told Kelce. “So I try, I try, but the internet is one of my big lies.”

“Oh, and with food as well,” the actress continued. “She wants to be as old as Moana. And my daughter was a preemie, preemie baby, so I’m one of those NICU moms that is still, like, obsessed with her nutrition.”

Chopra Jonas said each of Malti’s meals include everything she needs, despite her daughter’s pediatrician telling her she “needs to stop obsessing.”

“I can’t help it,” Chopra Jonas continued, “because she was so tiny when she was born.”

Malti was 110 days early when she was born, or “the entire third trimester,” as Chopra Jonas explained.

“That is impressive,” Kelce said. “What a fighter, girl.”

“Yeah, she really fought and clawed her way into life,” Chopra Jonas said of Malti, whom she shares with husband Nick Jonas. “I have so much admiration for her. So she gets away with anything with me. Honestly, I’m just like, ‘Yes, take it. It’s yours. Everything, whatever you need.’”

The Heads of State star also admits that her daughter knows it too. Malti is a big fan of playing dress-up with her mom’s wardrobe, who doesn’t object.

“She comes into my closet. She calls it the ‘magic closet,’” Chopra Jonas shared. “She’ll wear my shoes, walk out. She’ll like, take my bag, walk out.”

Priyanka Chopra: 'Stakes' Are Still 'So High' for Preemie Daughter Malti

Kelce admitted that Malti would get along well with her third daughter, Bennett, who loves playing with makeup, which she calls “wakeup.” Malti calls it “yippic.”

“I just want to see life through their eyes for a little bit,” Kelce admitted, to which Chopra Jonas agreed.

“It’s my escape. Like, if I’m having a s***ty day, that’s what I do. I come back home to my daughter and my husband, like, I come back home especially to her, and I like, just throw my bag, my shoes, whatever, and just snuggle into her,” Chopra Jonas said. “And everything is OK in the world.”

Brie Garcia Is Trying to Play Matchmaker for Sister Nikki Post-Divorce

Brie Garcia is in the midst of making major strides in her career, which has included adding one important skill to her professional resume: matchmaking.

Brie, 41, who recently cohosted ABC and ESPN’s coverage of the 2025 X Games, exclusively told Us Weekly how she was scouting potential suitors for her twin sister, Nikki Garcia, while she was on the ground in Salt Lake City. 

“I had my goggles on this past weekend,” Brie said. “I was like, ‘Who’s single?’ I kept texting her. I’m very happy in my marriage, but I do think I’d be the best wingwoman. I told her, ‘This time, you need to listen to me and trust your sister.’ I feel like I’d find the best guy.”

Brie has been married to former professional wrestler Bryan Danielson since 2014, and the couple share two children: daughter Birdie, 8, and son Buddy, 4.

Nikki and Brie Garcia Share Their Secrets to Putting Health First

Nikki finalized her divorce from ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev in November 2024. The couple share son Matteo, 4.

Despite Brie’s confidence that there are “great men” out there for her sister, she admitted the twins’ fame presents a conundrum. 

“This is what Nikki and I were thinking: Are they scared to date women in the public eye?” Brie questioned. “Especially ones with a podcast.”

The sisters cohost “The Nikki & Brie Show” podcast, which releases new episodes every Monday and Wednesday.

As for her recent X Games experience, Brie revealed it all came about by chance. 

“It’s crazy, because Nikki actually got the phone call first to host,” Brie revealed. “She’s back at WWE. I was like their runner-up in a way. I got lucky that Nikki was busy and I could do it.”

Brie added, “I’m so grateful to the X Games because I’ve been wanting that chance. I feel like Nikki keeps getting the chances. We’re twins, so sometimes people will hire Nikki and it just feels like the Bella Twins. People put us together.”

Brie and Nikki appeared as the Bella Twins in WWE from 2008 to 2019 and were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021. Nikki made her return to in-ring action earlier this year.

“I really hope people saw Brie,” she said about the X Games gig. “Like, I’m here. I am ready to rumble. Let’s go.”

With the X Games in her back pocket, Brie is looking ahead with optimism about her television future. 

“I’m hoping people saw that I’m capable,” she said. “I love sports, and I love what women have been doing in sports in the last five years across the board. I hope people will give me a chance and trust me.”
